Curious what tricks Capcom has up their sleeves for the final additional character in Super Street Fighter IV? Wonder no longer, because IGN got the first glimpse at Hakan — a totally original brawler created specifically for the updated version of Street Fighter IV.

From the looks of the footage, Hakan appears to be a grappler along the lines of Zangief or Abel. Don’t let that mislead you into believing he’s just another musclebound clod in impossibly tight shorts, however. What separates this new guy from the rest of the pack are his bright orange, Jersey Shore-esque tan and the almost supernatural amount of… uh… lubrication dripping from his chiseled body.

Yeah, Hakan is one slippery fella. And he takes advantage of his trademark greasiness by sliding all over the ring at lightning speeds. The end result looks to be a fighting style that’s just as unique as it is vaguely unsettling.
