I just have to wiggle the stick and press a few buttons with a blind fold on to win, just like every other Abel player. I can roll whenever I want and don’t have to worry about getting thrown in the process. I can continue my pressure from a blocked step kick without worrying about reversals or eating up a single short/jab that will end my offense whether I block or not. I don’t have to worry about getting combo’d off a single jab up close.
Once Abel gets in he can do too much damage on a low stamina character, so broken, it’s not like other characters walk faster, jump higher, run around you in circles or have dp’s that can shake Abel off and it’s not like Abel wastes life trying to get in or has to land a 1 frame link or anything, once Abel gets in there is too much damage dealt, so broken.
And his Tornado Throw is ridiculously good, you can literally just throw it out at anytime without giving it any real thought, other characters have really slow jump frames so you never have to worry about them jumping or backdashing in front of you and eating a big fat combo from a whiffed Tornado Throw so mash it out on offense or defense since most of Abel’s moves are safe. Abel never has to block, just keep pressing them buttons since you can’t get mash ultra’d from whiffing a short since Abel’s recovery is stupid good.
