Now Viewing: abelTag type: Character Abel (アベル, Aberu) is a French martial artist described as an amnesiac, a "man with no past", who obsessively follows every lead on the whereabouts of Shadaloo's remnants. Covered in scars from head to toe, he was found in the burning remains of a Shadaloo base and nursed back to health by a group of mercenaries, working alongside them to find out his past and defeat Shadaloo once and for all. His fighting style is based on Combat Sambo. He recognizes Guile's technique Sonic Boom, but refuses to comment when Guile presses him for information regarding Charlie, the originator of the style. As a Combat Sambo practitioner, Abel is adept at using both striking and throwing moves. It is hinted in Abel's ending that he was actually created by Shadaloo as a prototype of Seth or abducted in his youth to serve as a "replacement body" for M.Bison. This is reinforced by dialogue from both Bison and Seth, who mention him as "the one that got away". The appearance of his eyes also change to resemble Seth's during the initiation of his Ultra Combo. It is also hinted that Charlie is the person that helped him as he recognized Guile's fighting style and comments to Chun-Li about the soldier that rescued him from Shadaloo. In Abel's rival encounter, Abel mentions that he recognizes Guile's Sonic Boom leading to speculation that he may have spent time with Charlie. During that time, Charlie may have taught Abel's then-young son, Remy, how to use the Sonic Boom and Flash Kick. If Abel witnessed Remy's training before his amnesia, then it's possible that Seth: a potential clone of Abel, had learned the Sonic Boom from his memories, since Seth himself performs the Sonic Boom in the same "chopping" manner as Remy. His game mostly revolves around mixing up different punches and kicks and baiting, and also emphasizes canceling his standing medium kick canceled into a dash or standing hard punch, and further mixing up additional punches or kicks from there. His signature move - his ultra "Soulless" - involves him changing his eye color, delivering a series of punches and kicks to his opponent, throwing them into the air and body slamming them back down on to the ground. His second ultra "Breathless" makes Abel run to his opponent, grab him, spin, creating a tornado, and drop opponent on the ground. Abel is voiced by Kenji Takahashi in Japanese, and E. Jason Liebrecht in English. In his original design, he was a young judo fighter who wore pigtails and "could be mistaken for a girl." Abel is the only one of the new characters to appear in the Apple iOS version of Street Fighter IV.
