Setting up the F + MK

This thread, besides a couple posts, is full of rediculous fail.

Fwd.mk being a bad poke because its “slow”? Wtf? I hope you weren’t serious, its one of the best pokes in the game, easily. It wins games, crushes hopes, destroys dreams, and makes children cry. Any poke that leads into a almost-400 damage combo with two meters, that you actually build back while doing the combo, untechable knockdown, and great positioning is not going to be bad by all means. 7 frames for a poke isn’t slow at all btw, akumas’ st.rh is 7 frames too, and I don’t see people complain about it much…

Fwd.mk, learn it, love it, abuse it.

Not to mention giving you advantageous positioning on block as well…

1. Learn f.mk into st.hp link. Leads into the most damaging combo Abel has. His combos have won me more matches than I can count.

2. Stay out of your opponents max poke range. Try to punish his pokes with f.mk. Since your opponent will most likely be standing to attack you, you will be able to land f.mk - st.hp - Cod - fadc - ultra 1. You will also have a better chance of landing counter hits which will make the st.hp easier to land.

3. Be patient. You have the whole match to land one of these. If you land f.mk - st.hp - Cod more than twice, then you’ll probably win your match.

If anyone needs help with their Abel, then I will definitely help you out. Hit me up on Xbox

my problem is most of the time i seem to kick myself out of range of the f+mk by using the stand. lk, then i go for f+mk and it whiffs.

i just use the st.lk to stop the momentum of the opp before i go for the f+mk since lk is so much faster. gotta get in the habit of realising f+mks range isnt as good as i think it is…
