[MatrixMan.EXE]

Dat dere Celltech.

 

[Unicorn]

The first thought I had.

I thought of Brick from Borderlands.

 

[SargerusBR]

That dislike bar tho

 

[EmiPrime]

Should have gone with the battle costume for the trailer and introduced Kenshiro as a guest character.

 

[Mik317]

Instead of releasing an original cool character lets pull out somebody from the backlog that will make nobody happy! Fuck you Sodom!

again we have known for ages now that every season 2 character after Akuma will be new to the franchise.

fucking hell man.

 

[Alienous]

They have to be at the 'fuck it' point. This character doesn't seem worth breaking design consistency for.

 

[Darrenf]

I think he looks cool. Looking forward to trying him out. He's gigantic lol.

 

[kunonabi]

That's the actual first bad SFV design. Like did someone get paid to design that?

I'm actually done with SFV now. They seem to have just given up.

nah, we've already been subjected to fat shit birdie, akuma's redesign, laura, necalli, and ed's default design.

my only beef with Abigail is that car nonsense at the beginning.,

 

[giancarlo123x]

Seems unique. No complaints.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

His design looks like a crappy knockoff of Hugo from some obscure graphic novel.

 

[gablekevin]

Im loving all the "wtf he looks fucking ridiculous Capcom SFV is dead" seemingly ignoring the fact that Rufus exists

 

[SarcasticD]

Looking like a loadout character

 

[Primethius]

Holy hell, what an awful design.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Im loving all the "wtf he looks fucking ridiculous Capcom SFV is dead" seemingly ignoring the fact that Rufus exists

Nah I give Rufus shit all day.

 

[Kashiwaba]

His design looks like a crappy knockoff of Hugo from some obscure graphic novel.

Both of them are from FF no?

 

[sixteen-bit]

That dislike bar tho

The FGC's COD Infinite Warfare

 

[Ninjimbo]

That's a huge fucking guy. Karin is going to have problems.

 

[Zekes!]

nah, we've already been subjected to fat shit birdie, akuma's redesign, laura, necalli, and ed's default design.

Keep Laura's name out your mouth

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Can't say I like him.

 

[kirblar]

How did they fuck up Birdie and now Abigail.

Birdie plays incredibly well though? Eventually they'll get a classic outfit in there.

 

[LelouchViBritannia]

I mean who on earth at capcom approved this and thought it was a good idea for dlc?

Makes me worry for marvel vs capcom infinite dlc and that game's roster is super bad already.

 

[stn]

I... uh... What? Cool moveset but awful design. He just looks beyond weird, also very out-of-place compared to the rest of the cast. I don't know, not a fan at all. When's Menat?

 

[VariantX]

Uh, How we jumpin over this fool??

 

[Papercuts]

It's like they're trying to give Rufus competition for terrible designs. They might have succeeded.

 

[RedEther]

Season 2 characters was a mistake. There nothing but trash.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Was this character designed by Rob Liefeld?

 

[IntelliHeath]

I love how fucking absurd this character is.

He look so absurd so I wonder if he's going to be fun character to play.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Both of them are from FF no?

He is but maaaaaaaaaan they ramped him up to hell and back. And even then he was a crummy Hugo knockoff.

Was this character designed by Rob Liefeld?

THAT'S what he reminds me of!!

 

[JayEH]

Not a fan but don't hate it. Hope Menat is good.

 

[dragonflys545]

Season 2 was a mistake.

 

[TRUE ORDER]

Don't like the design that much.
Hopefully his gameplay is good.

 

[SpiceMelange]

This may be a silly question... is Abigail a male?

Abigail is muscle. Abigail transcended lower form concepts such as gender.

 

[dankir]

His animations and moveset are amazing. His design is a solid 5/10.

 

[fresquito]

Instead of releasing an original cool character lets pull out somebody from the backlog that will make nobody happy! Fuck you Sodom!

But I'm happy? The char looks goofy as hell, but he also looks like legit fun.

 

[rulerk1]

dem dislikes

was he always that huge

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

i got an exclusive image of Abigail's first cosmetic skin

 

[Jawmuncher]

Birdie plays incredibly well though? Eventually they'll get a classic outfit in there.

Talking Birdies Design. I loved him in Alpha but I hate his "fat joke" take in SFV

dem dislikes

This is why when it comes to SF people prefer to just get already established characters.
For every Juri you get a ton of crap design wise.

 

[cordy]

Abigail doesn't interest me one bit. Dude looks like the stereotypical jobber a side character beats up to show they've got some strength.

 

[J 0 E]

The dislike bar is on fire

 

[Alienous]

Like, is a cross-up even viable?

 

[LelouchViBritannia]

Season 2 was a mistake.

.

 

[TimeEffect]

As someone who doesn't know much about SF, why is the character so hated? Is there an expectation on character design to be a certain way?

 

[RedAssedApe]

lol...s2 is troll season

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Awful design and i don't see any costumes saving this one .

 

[Piston Hyundai]

it could've been damnd

 

[Village]

That dislike bar tho

why do people dislike it so much?

 

[Lulubop]

As someone who doesn't know much about SF, why is the character so hated? Is there an expectation on character design to be a certain way?

Jealous of those gains

 

[SpiceMelange]

People don't like absurd characters, they want cool/broody characters for the whole cast. I think Rufus was great character fite me

 

[.la1n]

I actually liked both the trailer and the character. I'll see myself out...

 

[Gentleman Jack]

why do people dislike it so much?

It's a hideous, unappealing design. Rufus v2.
