The Next Big Thing: Abigail General Thread

Darn, he would of been such a fitting addition to the SFV pantheon of great black characters, such as Balrog and Birdie.

In this newly PC world, even Capcom Japan might of mustered some ounce of self awareness before deciding to detonate that bomb.

Iā€™m gonna be one of those. This guy is a tank, canā€™t wait to try him.

He was white in Final Fight and turned red. However in his ā€œredā€ phase he looked more brown-ish in color, but his original color was always meant to be white.

I am wondering how nasty his mix-up off of run is going to be. Cancel to strike vs grab vs counters sounds rough for some characters to handle if the frame data is good.

Abiā€™s theme

At first I thought ā€œcool a heavy metal song, it so much fits Abiā€ then growl kicks inā€¦

Also introduction video

Edit: 2 slow

Edit- Lol, ninjaā€™d

If people get caught by Kenā€™s command run shenanigans I canā€™t imagine what will happen with Abiā€™s armored run. The command grab after the run seems to deal a ton of damage too.

i wish there was more to his size than just range and a big hurtbox.

maybe there is even. but nothing shown or said indicates it.

Iā€™m so ready for this dude, the salt will begin at the character screen XD

Iā€™m actually liking Abigail. Might actually reinstall SFV to try him out.

His hurtbox isnā€™t even that big, look at how Akuma straight clips right through most of him on crossup.

Abigail Smash looks retarded yet I feel the need to do it all day long.

He seems like alot of fun, i usually dont have an interest in big characters, but abigail seems fun

ā€˜ā€˜Abigail can be jumped overā€™ā€™ as Abigail suspiciously crouches to demonstrate the cross-up :confused:
Regardless whether he can be jumped over, most characters will probably need to be within st.MP range to jump over.
Considering Abby has some pretty dominant buttons, heā€™ll have some amazing control over the opponentā€™s movement.

He wasnā€™t crouching on the first cross-up. His hurtbox is way smaller than his actual model.

If Capcom puts Sagat in, they should make him a little bigger and a beast of a version to deal with Abigail.

Needless to say, if youā€™re gonna play Abigail, learn how to predict instant over head jump back normals.
