1:46 was something that struck me also.
Abel’s anti-air options are so bad, that when you do land one, you have to be ready to capitalize on it heavily. Even if you don’t have ex-bar, you can just do the CoD for that extra damage, and whiff a normal FS for extra meter.
PUT IT INTO YOUR MUSCLE MEMORY.
Kikuichimonji. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! this is the (&@E dat i need to hear and how we needs to be talkin!
as for the breakdown
-Sweep less… i think thats the FIRST THING busta told me. may be why i am regressing as an abel player and not progressing?
51: Au Muno showed me the power of reversals with tornado throw ONE DAY and i have been taking more damage ever since by trying to spam tornado throw. Its a very bad habbit i picked up that I wish I never had and its hard to get rid of.
at any point you see me use Cr. FP and nothing else it is because I am trying to use it to do CoD and it dosent come out.
I do not have MP as an option to combo into because its slotted as my left 1 button.
Perhaps I should try moving medium punch to r trigger but thats my ULTRA button and is perhaps more important than C mp?
Hit by reversal shoryu is kinda sorta part of the plan for my wakeup shinanigans. I didnt notice it was gonna be an ultra though 
GOD HOW DID I GET IN THE HABBIT OF SWEEPING SO MUCH? i never have played a charachter with a good sweep , why do I keep doing this?
sweep less and never jup unless its to avoid a throw or to cross up!
lol i’ll post less matches in the future to get feeds 
anyway ive finally learned the cammy matchup and boy cammy sucks against abel, cr.mk works like a charm. though i find it tempting to go all out, need to refrain the aggressiveness against her.
A couple of videos of my first tournament here
WR1 [media=youtube]slMPkHOWvNU"[/media] (ken)
WR2 [media=youtube]AJ3rmdEUwHo"[/media] (rose, guile) rose is TRICKY as hell
WR3 [media=youtube]U7ZQS8oJBoI"[/media] (geif) tourney jitters + inexperience vs geif = EPIC fail
LR5 [media=youtube]EJpDZoDI6uQ"[/media] (fuerte) fuerte is tough for abel imo, very close match 
LR6 [media=youtube]4SZd6yC6V58"[/media] (chun, honda) too many missed ultras tourney jitters ftl
Overall a very fun experience, this was my very first tourney and i have to say that i loved the atmosphere, some of those matches were crazy close, i expect to do much better in the next one. I was actually one of the only pad players there, i will deffinetly buy a stick before next tourney 
Just watching this one, there is one point where you FADC out of change of direction (just before 1:24) and then try to go right to tornado throw and miss because of hit stun. You can combo into F+MK from FADC out of CoD which would work better to set up the TT
I’m going to have to remember this, I always punish HP Shoryukens with TT.
kraiden3, you really need to either get an arcade stick (better option) or learn to use all buttons on the pad. all 6 buttons are important to use for almost all chars and you’re only holding yourself back by not using them. mp is not only useful on its own and in combos but without it, have you just given up on using Focus Attacks at all? Because it’s a tool that every char can put to use to up their game. Not to mention FADC combos are an important part of being competitive with Abel.
For the Gief fight, don’t sleep on st. mp. As long as you aren’t super close, it’ll stuff lariat for free. It’s also an all around great poke for that fight, it’s even tolerable as AA against him.
Also, it’s a pretty bad idea to try to play mixups on gief’s wakeup. That’s a guessing game heavily skewed against you every time. Zone him out with with your longer range pokes. Having your FADC’s down is also real helpful for when you land a cr. mp or mk on him; you need all the damage you can get from every opportunity.
i have a button assigned for focus attack, if you notice i focus parry ALOT of fireball attaacks.
meh i wish i could use medium punch but its just in an awkward place on my controler that i cant use
Just learn to do MP + MK. That frees up a button for you, right?
yea i played with a freind of mine recently and think he has the same set up (1 button for focus, 1 button for grab) and doesnt use EITHER of his mediums. hitting those 2 sets of buttons just with your thumb isnt hard really so i just use the default setup. i was trying to teach him stuff but it was always the same response (no medium attack buttons ha ha). medium punch is great for leading into ur CODxxFADC etc.
well the main 4 buttons are hard and light punch and hard and light kick.
Medium kick which i use alot for air to air is my right top button and PPP is my right trigger
now on the left top button , which is hard to reach because you have yoru thumb on the pad is my medium punch. and trigger is focus attack.
they need to make a larger controller for me since my hands dont fit perfectly. but the ONLY button i cant press while using the D pad is medium punch.
Ever consider buying a fightpad? It’s the next best thing to buying an arcade stick.
Green hand on hit OR block = Free tornado throw. Cr.fp works on all but LP on block, but it has to be frame-perfect. Gotta use far s.mp to stuff those lariats. And EX TT or just block those lariats up close.
You’d still probably beat my ass though.
Better players shouldn’t let you get away with neutral jump rh on their wakeup as much. It’s a good tactic once in a while, but don’t let it become a bad habit.
In the Rose fight you grab her out of jabs with regular TT, are you just spamming it the whole time when she’s hitting you with those strings? What strength? I need to get better at this type of punish.
Pretty solid overall though.
Man, props to Kikuichimonji for breaking that guy’s video down. You’re always the first to reply to someone’s question on the Abel board. Keep that up man, you’re like one of the pillars around here.
One thing you should practice is after connecting with an air to air j.mk, dash under your opponent and throw or TT. It’s a very effective tool to add to your arsenal.
a few shiro vids along with some iyo vids

man shiro and iyo need to qualify for sbo god damn i love this team!
i think we need to see more busta videos…
I actually tried out far st.mp and it pretty much stuffs anything gief throws at you (with some exceptions of course) next ranbat you can be sure that geif wont get away with such a landslide victory (i’ll probably still counter pick anyways) and i just bought a se stick but changed every button and the stick to sanwa, i need to get some practice going to get used to it :lovin:
ROFL
That’s so true, I feel like Abel’s sweep doesn’t work as good as other characters (ryu, ken, akuma). I’m learning not to rely on it as much.
