Abel Combo Thread: the Emo Mercenary's Arsenal!

no matter how many times I try it, I can never link cl.hk into s.lk or s.mp. Why is this so hard?

The cl. rh has to hit as an OH to be able to link the st. short or strong.

so if he’s not blocking low when I hit it, I won’t be able to link it into a combo?

Correct. If it doesn’t hit as on OH then they will not link.

ahh. anyway I can hit-confirm it? or should I just go for it after landing the cl.hk anyway?

hmm… can you? if abel crosses up and they block low for some mysterious reason i think he overhead version of cl.hk … but at that distance would st. hp link??

meh… ne wayz…

cl.hk on a standing opponenet is 0 on HIT so follow ups are iffy… word of advice, if you follow up with a normal go with st.mp… mp and lk are the same speed and i believe his st. mp has a smaller grab box so it’s less likely for abel to be grabbed out of it :slight_smile:

well, I usually go for it after a cross up regardless of block/hit as a game ender if I do end up going for the cross up hah. oooh so there’s no frame advantage on hit unless the opponent is crouching…

thanks for the tip :smiley:

Random thing I found in training mode against standing Ryu: crossup j.mk cr.lp s.lp xx cr.lp -> f.mk combos. The jab hits meaty. Might be useful maybe.

fuckin noted!

ya, thanks for the tip, i’ll mess around with more of this!

I have a question. Why do all top Abel players follow a successfull cross up with a block string (cr. lk - lk - lp - lp - step kick) instead of going into big combo ? (hp-cod). I mean, ju. MK-HP-Hp cod does a ton of damage, and if you have bars you can fadc for even bigger damage and hard kd.
So why top players prefer the ju. MK-cr. lk-lk-lp-lp ?

Hit-confirming so you have momentum on block for tick throws, etc. Abel doesn’t have good ways to hit-confirm, cr.lp -> cl.mp works sometimes but usually not off a crossup. If you really want damage you can combo crossup -> f.mk xx dash -> cl.hp but crossup to f.mk can usually be DP’d in between on block. Also you need to know which side you’re landing on.

hey Guys…

I would like to unsticky this thread along with the other dinosaur thread: Movesett and attributes

and replace them with the Abel Guide and the Ask Strider thread…

Does anybody give a fuck?

are the combos here included in the abel guide thread? i dont want all sakeido’s hardwork go to waste.

Just a note from something I have been using for a while on Ryu/Ken for some reason it does not seem to work on anyone else.

If you do a normal corner mixup cr hp, Step kick dash so it crosses under and crouch on the other side they will glitch back into the corner. If you don’t crouch it will cross up as normal.

The super hits if your sweep gets absorbed by a focus attack. Failed kara TT attempts do the same.

CH meaty s.hp and s.mp links to step kick on Zangief. Looking for a more consistent setup than cr.hp, cl.lk, s.hp ~ f.mk.

CH meaty s.mp ~ f.mk can hit Rufus after falling sky. Rufus is in far distance on wake up.

cl.mk after FS puts you in far distance for ryu (credit 101% video, cl.hp for others) to do CH meaty s.mp ~ f.mk.
