Ultra on reaction to me jumping out of his oki pressure? Are you serious? If he can do that, then he must not be jumping meaty, which means he’s still well into the air when I wake up, which means I can just hit s. Fierce and AA him free.
There’s no way he can do it on reaction to anything. It’s all guessing.
i mean from the ground couldnt gief react to your jump and then jump ultra?
if he is waiting that long to see what you’re going to do then you’ve got time to punch him in the vodka hole
Alright alright so gief will pose some other problems. Im just a bit concerned how people are saying the new ultra will be good for ‘‘a few weeks or so’’. I mean, surely thats not right. I mean you cant neutral jump or you risk getting hit etc, same with so many situations.
I might be missing something, but i’d hope that it would last more than ‘a few weeks’ 
Thats pretty much the case on U2. 1+0 would make it one of, if not the best ultra in the game.
But that’s only if they can’t buffer jump once its started (like Gief). If they can, they can just jump over you. (or jump and tatsu, teleport , etc)
If we could step kick to a 1+0 U2. haha mobile grappler with a legit grab ultra would be amazing.
Haha, overpowered or what. :lol:
so far i’ve heard that abel has a faster sweep, his cod is safe on block, has more stamina, falling sky does more damage & is a “better” anti-air & lastly that the last hit of ultra 1 does more damage.
also i recently heard that their have been no changes whatsoever so my question is, has there been one single buff or change to abel that has been confirmed ?
Nope, just people ‘thinking’ that things have been buffed, when they probably haven’t.
To be honest I’v given up hope. I think all we’re getting is a new ultra and more falling sky damage, as if we needed it.
Shit boy, most of the cast is getting nerfed, be happy we don’t need to suffer that. Abel’s always been a solid character at worst, albeit his mix-ups might of always been in favour of his opponents, maybe the nerfs that they’re receiving will fix that.
Yeah, I suppose the damage reduction overall will help out a lot. There’s just a few tiny things i would have liked to have been addressed, thats all.
But yeah, you’re right, it’s a good point.
I’m sure his sweep got faster too.
for the most part i hhad no problem with abel besides his horrible dfence.then somebody explained to me that not everybody should have invincible reversals i.e ryu ken sagat rufus akuma ect and that the game was more about offense and that abel has the tools he needs to win already i started thinking about that and not feeling sorry for myself and figured out was around the shit that stopped me.im new to sf so its all new for me.lol also learned dont get knocked down by akuma,chun, or gief without bar as abel
So we will have official update for Abel next week… Cant wait for it…
Yup I think the only real way to land that super on reation is vs wall jumps or focus crumple to ultra if you can do it low to the ground, no way anyone can ultra on reaction in oki pressure.
I saw that latest stream and sweep definitely seemed faster. looks like we’ll know for sure next week.
^ Nice one! I hope you’re right
New video up from Dragon’s Lair in Sweden: [media=youtube]DuN-b8l430c[/media]
Doesn’t show that much, but his BnB still does a hefty amount of damage (doesn’t seem to be as much as before…but I guess it’s to be expected with everyone’s damage nerf) and FUCK at how fast UII is.
EDIT: [media=youtube]iSDiU6Y6_YY[/media] Another video from Dragon’s Lair…but at 0:16 Abel does his sweep and I hope I’m not the only one to say “HOLY SHIT DOES THAT LOOKS FASTER!”.
Wow, you’re right, his damage has been nerfed, his Crouching HP looks like it does a lot less damage…
his health looks roughly the same, and his sweep does look faster, but didnt it always look fast but was just really low priority? lol
Another vid against dudley is in the new info thread
Seems like not many people tested the Falling Sky as anti-air to see difference…
