One thing I’m curious about JB, is SF4 your first competitive game?
Sort of.
I started with Smash Bros. Melee (but sucked at it), and moved to 3rd Strike. Wasn’t good at mixups in that game, switched to Brawl.
Then 4 came out. In the other games I was mediocre, but something about 4 clicks with me compared to those games.
s.hp works
How the hell do you keep pressure on a dp character? It seems that any blockstring I attempt along with any wakeup pressure all get thrown out the window by shoryukens, leaving me with only bait and punish tactics. Once the ryu realises thats all I have… its game over for me.
You have to make him scared to dp, lol…although doesnt work on scrubby players XD
If you do a TT, dash > lk roll > lk roll will avoid any reversal, you could try that…
Or do the shiro trick, roll on wakeup, wait…if they dp you block, if nothing just throw them 
Didn’t want to make a new thread for this but you can see a piece of Abel’s new alt in this image.
^looks like the lead singer of loverboy
Safe jump on Chun-Li’s wake up EX SBK:

Back throw, wait about 0.2s, j.mk right into the center of SBK.
haha they gave Abel a goatee!
now he doesn’t look like me anymore 
Inside joke to this. When I moved to Vegas from NY, I got my new photo ID and in the photo I look like Abel, lol. Others agreed, and now people out here joke around with that haha.
The goatee and the headband, I don’t know man… looks like Abel is going to an aerobics class or something…
lol since when goatee is related to aerobics… as for headband… then he’s gonna be training with ryu @ aerobics class 
oh and i just found out that seth is totally 100% during his super, i jumped over a seth while he does super and tried punchking kicking TTing everything and they all whiffed lol then i went to training room and confirmed it haha
^ you forgot to type invincible. and yeah his super, pretty gay ass super man.
^baited
anyway i think i need to work on applying more TT in my gameplay, sometimes im too cautious and focusing on teching throws that i forgot that using TT at that time is a much better choice (not all the time, but you get what i mean?)
^ i feel the same way, there are so many times when i think" if i knew he was gonna throw why didn’t i TT"
I dont like using TT too much as it feels as if i’m overusing it and stuff and that the other player will get annoyed, is that bad?
Yes. That’s a pretty silly reason to not use one of Abels most effective tools at close range… If you’re playing as Abel, your goal is to keep your opponent in the mix… what better way than constantly scoring untechable knockdowns ? Use it and abuse it until your opponent can prove they know how to beat it
No its its not that I dont use it haha, i do, its just if i keep using it one someone it feels like im being cheap
Does crossup j.mk x c.hp (both hits) not work on Ryu? I can only get one hit of the c.hp to land.
Isn’t that unreliable? you should go for st.hp or crouching mp punch instead, and cancel it into CoD. Its not very appealing to see Abels do that…but im not sure why its only hitting once. Oh well.
Shit, I didn’t even know it was unreliable. Thanks for telling me.
C.hp just doesn’t start up as fast as those others?
