If you find any videos or have any information on the normals that I dont have posted here feel free to PM me or post it in the thread. I haven’t gotten my hands on the game yet so i’m just going off of videos. So please feel free to inform me Thanks.

He has a Charge move now that looks like his focus attack. I don’t know the name of the move but it’s :b::f::p:
ex version wall bounces

Okay i’ll continue looking through some videos to see if i can find it. Thanks.

His new shoulder attack has a red lightningbolt when he does the EX version, which means that’s his super charge attack, which should also mean that his super is “Charge back, forward+3P”?

Abels super move is breathless and it is a charge motion like guiles sonic boom.

Oh alright ill add that, thanks. I wasnt really able to find a video of him doing his super.

I got to play him at NYC fightclub. So far he seems to be about the same as in SF4. He’s pretty good when it comes to the new system stuff. Unfortunately the only guy I got to play against had no freakin’ clue what he was doing.

Can’t find any footage showing Abel’s Cross Art nor his new Breathless in action.

Cross art is his Super in SFIV, Breathless has the same spinny start-up, but then he does the U1 jump slam at the end instead. Can’t remember where I saw them though.

^Yeah i seen it in a video which is was I thought is cross art was Heartless at first

Here’s his cross art: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6ZkkXbn1KE#t=3m19s

I love him…He’s so lost it’s sad and adorable.:amazed:

Is it just me, or should Abel have 2 hitboxes on his command grab? The normal one, and then another one where he clenches with his fist in what’s now the whiff animation. Maybe the late hitbox could be another, weaker grab or something. Just looks so stupid when he does the whiff animation right through the opponents chest.

^Not to sure i have to look at a video and see.

I betchu abel will be able to do a longer combo with his :d::hp:. Since that kind of launches the foe he should be able to follow up with just about anything

Yeah i was thinking it could be possible to get off his Crouching Fierce and maybe even step kick xx dash to combo into something too

Abel maxed out on speed gems.

Who’s gonna do it? :rofl:

Since Abel is my secondary character in AE, I may be playing him in this, especially since I also used to play 3S and with his Urien-esqe shoulder tackle juggle:

[media=youtube]hdIa1hp3hhk[/media]

Not to mention the step kick into chain combo AND standing light kick to F. Punch, launcher.

You can Tag Cancel normals right?

I am seeing oppurtunities for my King/Abel team here

[LIST=1]
[]Step kick or St.Lk poke into crosh rush or combo into Cr.Hp Launcher
[
]Tag Cancel
[]King Knee Juggle
[
]End with EX Running Jaguar bomb or Super Art
[/LIST]
Mite b cool

Pandora Abel doing EX shoulder reps should do a lot of dmg.
