New Kids on the Block
With a wide range of new special moves and outrageous attacks to challenge the original World Warriors, these four new faces will definitely shake up the ranks of Street Fighter IV.
Command Key:
Abel: French Mystery Man
Abel's throws and Marseilles Roll are super damaging, plus they can interrupt fireball motions, so bring a new wave of hurt to those cheap Ryu, Ken and Akuma players!
Special MovesSuper Combo!
Ultra Combo!
ProTips!
1. Abel's a lot more agile than he looks -- use the Marseilles Roll to dodge projectile attacks and create an opening for a vicious Tornado Throw!
2. If you're close to your opponent, you can also start a quick Tornado Throw motion with Abel to preempt almost any fighter's fireball animation! Surprise!
3. While using your EX power, Able's Wheel Kick is a safe move to rely on if you want to close the distance between fighters and protect yourself from any oncoming fireballs.
El Fuerte: Lucha Libre Super Star
El Fuerte's a lot faster than most of the other fighters, plus he wall jumps farther than anyone else -- mix up your low Roundhouse and air attacks to stay alive!
Special MovesSuper Combo!
Ultra Combo!
ProTips!
1. El Fuerte leaps faster and farther than most of the other World Warriors -- use his speed to escape corner traps and dodge Super Moves!
2. The El Fuerte Flying Giga Buster only works at near range, so make sure to get close to your opponent -- or just try launching the Ultra Combo as they're getting off the ground!
3. Depending on how long you can hold the Kick command, El Fuerte's Quesadilla Bomb will do a lot more damage when you release the button, so treat it like Balrog's Punches!
Rufus: Mister Large & In Charge
The surprisingly agile Rufus has a great amount of reach and power despite his gargantuan girth, so make good use of his hilarious Messiah Kick and crazy Galactic Tornado!
Special MovesSuper Combo!
Ultra Combo!
ProTips!
1. When using Rufus's Messiah Kick, walk up and throw your enemy if the first blow misses -- if they block, hit any Kick button for a surprise attack that'll really shake 'em up!
2. Rufus's crouching Fierce Punch has an almost absurd amount of reach, making it just as dangerous as any other fighter's sweeping Roundhouse (watch your feet!).
3. Push Left or Right to move during a Strong or Fierce Galactic Tornado -- if your opponent gets caught off guard, it'll surprise them and create an opening for a quick combo!
C. Viper: Beauty in a Battlesuit
Sure, most of Crimson Viper's abilities may not be natural, but both her Thunder Knuckles and Burning Kicks can definitely scorch the skin off of any careless fighter.
Special MovesSuper Combo!
Ultra Combo!
ProTips!
1. It's difficult to pull off, but the Burning Kick can stop fireballs if you can time it perfectly -- also, use it in the air to counter Hurricane Kicks and trade hits on uppercuts.
2. If your opponent's playing it safe and keeping their distance in the corner, use the Seismic Hammer to peck away at their life and charge up your Super Meter! Cheap!
3. Crimson Viper's Roundhouse Kicks have decent range and a variety of motions for opening up your opponent's defenses, so don't be afraid to get close and mix it up!

The top spot in the office often switches between Sui, one of GP's developers, and our art intern Will Chu. I'm still trying to beat TMoses and Mr. Shuman.
