I love the fact that it starts with the character select screen music and only goes into the stage music after the intro is done. Alpha 3 is classy as fuck.
I only play Waifu characters. Because of that lifestyle choice, I have way more character crisesā than usual since I restrict myself to 30% of the roster. If the waifu character I main isnāt working, I guess I have no choice but wait a few months till the next waifu bait comes out.
If by terribly free you mean he has more options than people who have literally no choice but to block on wake-up because Abi actually has an option while has has VT up. - Alex, Vega have no options. Only Vega is terrible free tbh, even his super isnāt a get-out. Alex has no 3f, no armoured 1f move, VT parry isnāt 1f start-up, only super is his get-out. Vega has a 3f but super isnāt invincible so he has no guaranteed get-out options. Abi gets 1f armour in VT and invinc super. Heās about as bad as Birdie who I would say is pretty standard, not having a reversal or 3f doesnāt mean free.
Most pressure in this game has gaps of 2f, Abi can EX run through and it happens at high level so he can bulldog through mid pressure and get run mindgames.
st.lp can cover practically everything you need it to, cr.hk can duck under deep jumps if need be, cr.hp is big payoff.
Run dismantles neutral and deters poking.
Abiās halfscreen st.hp hurtbox is all kinds of fucked up.
He has 50/50s idk what other mix-ups you require.
āBut Froztey you are only saying dis because of BUFFS it has never been problem before xd!ā
Nope Iāve called Abi a silly character from release, I remember Mocha agreeing and a couple other people. Since I playtested him and found out he was just a bunch of unga from what I thought would be a slow-moving neutral powerhouse. Please check my tapes.
My biggest issue is that his hurtbox is all kinds of fucked up for the neutral he offers, stuff like his standing hurtbox and his recovery hurtboxes from gigantic moves like st.hp. Giefās st.hp hurtbox feels wider than Abiās itās crazy.
I used to be in agreement of his standardized hurtbox so characters didnāt get crazy extended combos on him but Iām starting to think that should be his downside for the range heās granted.
Nope. Iāve played Chun(F) in every SF game including this one. I play Tsubaki(F) and Amane(M) in BlazBlue. I also played Decap(F) in my brief mingle with USF4, and I played Twelve(M) and Ibuki(F) in SF3. Peach/Shiek (both F) during my brief mingle with Smash 4. SFV is the first game where I play mostly male characters come to think of it. Abi and Rashid are just too fun
