Abels’ air-to-air is already really good. Don’t see him getting an air special tbh.
He should have had an air grab from the start.
why?
Success!
You are winner.
The way Wiz touched on U2, it makes it sound like U2 is still up in the air on what different options Abel may or may not have. I still think it won’t change Abel’s coreplay and you’re pretty much deciding on an anti-air Ultra (U2) vs a comboable ultra (U1).
I’m pretty happy with the faster sweep though. =D
remember when you posted this and nobody anwser’d?
So he could grab people in the air.
Are we on the same page?
why should he be able to do that
It would complete him, not that he needs it. There’s no real benefit to it but I wouldn’t have complained.
The mark of a true fighting gamer.
Makoto had the worst backdash in 3rd Strike also.
Abel was definitely inspired by Mak. Shit walk speed and backdash, insane forward dash. Even has some of her normals.
^ not to mention abel’s old design was a young boy who was often confused to be a girl 
Kinda like Makoto buy reverse.
What is with Japan and androgynous people. Though the old abel design looked nice.
cr. HP launcher always two hits on hit.
falling sky DECENT priority against jump-ins.
Abel = Top Tier.
I hope they removed the ex-falling sky trade, I had a Ryu player jump in on me the other day so I pulled out the ex-falling sky card, we trade, it looks like Abel dragon punched Ryu, I lose life, he doesn’t and I lose meter. I was dumbfounded.
I wonder how much quicker his sweep is… imagine 4 frames, I would cream myself.
WORD FASTER C.HK!!!
HAZA!!! doing the riley booty dance
The nerf on Shoryuken invulnerability probably means EX TT will beat out reversal shoryukens which will be a huge buff to his ground game, in fact I wouldn’t be shocked if Abel goes up a few sports solely due to that.
I strongly doubt EX TT will beat DPs with any consistency.

I fucking knew it! Abel looks like John J. Rambo! I’m not going back to his first two alts now.
Maaaaan Abel’s new alt is sick!
That pic is hilariously low quality but its all I need to see :lol: I’d say he’s more on the Solid Snake side of things… bandanna FTW. Infinite EX meter?

Mmm, Abel rockin’ the bare chest.
