Abel Concept Art
Early concept art of Abel from Street Fighter IV. More Info: commentary on the developer's blog: 岡田： アベルは「柔よく剛を制す」っていうのがやりたくて、最初は小さくて女の子に間違われそうな柔道キャラだったんです。 Translation: Commentary: "With Abel, we wanted to make someone representative of 'the weak can beat the strong,' and so he was originally a small judo character who could be mistaken for a girl."
