Abel Option Select Thread

I need inspiration so I’m taking requests. Any character or situation, I’ll ymtrt to figure something out

FS, Backdash, jump mk

Noticed the other day this setup beats all DPs clean if they do it as a reversal and simply whiffs allowing a punish if its an uppercut with long invun (seth). This been found before? Certainly not a setup i remember. Can be beat ofc if they delay the uppercut by a frame or so. It also hits very ambigiously i did have dabble to see if it was possible to make it “hardblockable” but with no success.

Yeah, that’s one of my go to options if my “ambiguous” rolls aren’t working out. I haven’t encountered anyone that doesn’t reversal DP, even after I tell them that a delayed DP would win.

Ah that’s cool figured it can’t of been new the setup, its weird i have used the setup alot but never knew that it flat out prevents reversal uppercut.

It’s known, it just has some problems. IMO it’s not very ambiguous, it doesn’t crossup vs some characters, it is really easy to avoid with forward/back dash, if it hits a reversal uppercut it resets them instead of allowing you to get a full punish. For instance, if you hit the crossup on ryu and try to combo into close fierce, if he reversal srk, he resets and recovers before your close fierce does

Old info (I think) but nobody spoke about it here. If I’m wrong correct me but I was trying to figure out the best way to beat Guile’s close f.hk/ throw mixup shit since it gives such potentially good damage now. Anyway, os with cr tech and mk (buffer cod) looks like the best option. Nothing else seems as consistent. Thoughts?

Edit: for the record I can get cr.mp to work to with a CH (so cr.mp, hit confirm, cr.mp cod) but it’s just gonna suck if you eat a counterhit yourself

Any info on the nekojita fake option select?

I heard about it but forgot what it was

Nice option select against short back dashes, the inputs are

Meaty c.lp - c.lp + c.mk - quarter circle forward c.lp

If they block or get hit then 3 c.lp’s will come out, if they back dash on wake up c.mk with come out and combo into CoD automatically.

Just gotta test it against the rest of the back dashes.

I’m trying to do a simple sweep os and I don’t think I’m doing it right. I knocked the dummy down, did cr.lk, cr.lk + cr.hk (that’s how I read you’re supposed to do it)

but what happens is when it (seems to) work, the sweep comes out but it doesn’t come out quick and I have time to block low before it connects

I thought it might be because of different character backdashes but I’ve seen people do it on Ryu which was the character I was trying it on. Any help?

Try doing cr.lk meaty

Madcat, I use c.lk, c.lp+hk. Easiest way to set it up is fs, back dash, lk roll.

obviously its a timing problem

make sure the cr.lk is meaty

oh wait

alright I got it now, thanks

That is always what I am wondering. Why should I go for cr.lk after a knockdown??
I have the feeling that his normal 50/50 mixups are much more rewarding, like lk roll cr.hp or mk roll, cr.lp ~ cs.mp etc. I mean in the best case, we get the knockdown out of the option select, in other cases we get either a true blockstring or a 3-4 hit light attack combo, wow :stuck_out_tongue: .
It’s another matter with his U2 option select, cr.lk, 2xqcf KKK, cr.lk, s.lk, thats how I do it, after s.lk you can continue with step kick as a frame trap.

Because you won’t always have ultra stocked or have ultra 2 at all, although ultra 1 beats a lot of backdashes too. And for the record, this is useful after step kick as well, against people who try to backdash out of pressure. I always do cr.lk+cr.lp for os tech, then cr.lp+cr.hk, cr.lp+cr.hk until i decide to stop the chain. I know some who will try to mash backdash the whole time.

Wow.

Just tried and confirmed that it’s possible to option select a Ex Tornado Throw off a meaty jab to beat out wake up reversal Ex Zonk from Cody.

I am much more optimistic about this match now.

Hmmm, if he backdashes, the ex tt will whiff and you will get punished hard? Have to test it, perhaps the backdashanimation last long enough to make it safe. But for sure nice find !!

okay tried it out, if he blocks, its cr.lp cls.lp blockstring, if he ex zonks, ex TT beats him, but the backdash grants him a full punish :frowning: . Still something i will use !!! for sure.

How right you are!
But that’s the thrill of the hunt!
