Should probably get SvC in there somewhere.
They'll argue that every aspect of SFV is inferior to 4. Soon someone will say SF4 has the better soundtrack and post both Juri themes as evidence.

Lawyer just called. By law, I have to play on a FF stage for a straight month.
The Mad Gear Hideout stage was the best stage in both SFxT and USF4.

True. Best music in SFxT tbh as well.

Wrong.
Best stage in SFxT was cosmic elevator and SF4 was Overpass.

Overpass was the best before USF4. Cosmic Elevator is only in contention because of Mecha Zangief.
The worst stage in SFxT is whatever that shitty stage with the robot seizing in the background (worst way to premiere a new game, too). I'm not sure for SF4 but I remember most of the vanilla stages being incredibly bland. SSF4 stages were on a whole other level.
That's the same guy that said the wrestling stage (not the CPT one) is coming and I think Dan, too.
but cosmic elevator is also in SF4
The only stage he misled us on was the CWA wrestling stage. But yeah, X-Kira is generally on-point when it comes to stages.

Overpass is better than Cosmic elevator.
This is just a prediction, but I'm thinking Abigail's character story might play out like this:
- The opening slides establish Abigail as the new Mad Gear leader, holding Guy hostage in his hideout
- Chun-Li shows up to arrest Abigail, but Abigail defeats her
- Balrog (or Birdie, for comic relief) shows up looking for work, but Abigail defeats him
- Story ends on a slide of Zeku perched on a building like Batman, overlooking the Mad Gear hideout, having tracked down Guy's location
why would you want that, I play ed. Why to god would you want that.
Maybe just add 2 supers for everyone. But by god, why would you want that lame shit
*sigh* time to do survival for FM again

Does Chun even know about that city? But everything else looks like it's going to happen.
SFIV had a Metro City construction stage, so probably? The SF fighters are pretty well-traveled.

A few lines shouldn't take too long, I'd assume. Or maybe they recorded that while other stuff got left behind.
Ah that's true.
God I hope he's a sick character. I've kind of settled on a zoning, aggressive based playstyle but I'm willing to go grappler with gimmicks ala Birdie but more aggressive if Abby has that playstyle.

Best stage ever
because all his inputs are simplified but for whatever reason his super is a double input
maybe make it pressing all six buttons, dunno
You are a maniac.
Most garish of all the stages I've ever seen and that fucking music that sped up 1000xs during low health was like a thousand bees throwing themselves into a jet engine that produced high frequency farts.
I'm hoping Abigail is a massive character who has to slouch to avoid covering the health bar, swinging his long arms around like tree trunks. He might have a command grab, but I'm expecting him to be more of a hard-hitting armored tank than a traditional grappler.
Remember when Ono said that there might be a character in season two who only uses four attack buttons? I wonder if he was talking about Abigail. He might be so powerful that his mediums essentially function as hard attacks.

I just realized we're technically getting two FF characters in this season full of newcomers, and neither of them is Haggar.
I guess being the Mayor of Earth is too big a job to be dealing with some psycho who thinks he's Hitler.

If Capcom wants to go all out in innovation/ballsyness/stupidity, they should make Abigail the only character you can't jump over with normal jumps. To compensate for that big advantage, he should be so tall that all of his "lows" still hit high and can be stand-blocked.
I'm not talking about whatever shitty modifications that happen during low health,.
I'm talking about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxcd6x1hDVc
And this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZBsKL6adxQ
Learn some culture.
Expecting his high level play to just consist of spacing with one or two high priority buttons and one special move, and barely any combos. Like Chang KOF14 play.

A character like that can really work in a simplistic engine like this one. I'm expecting a lot of salt at low levels of play coming from this character tho
I wouldn't be surprised if Capcom wants to keep Haggar exclusive to MvC.

We r/kappa now?
Um, okay?
No flies defected
Supposedly, he's in the base roster. He was leaked not too long ago, & Season 1 is all newcomers.

Haggar is in the launch roster.
You're wrong. That music is godawful garbage. At least they fixed it in the SFIV version.
Remake of Guy A2 stage, plz.
Huh, that's new and good news if real
For reference, Dormammu was recently leaked in one of the variant covers, & he wasn't in the Ryce leak.

Poison's so great, I wish she was in SFV.

I'd rather have baseball bat roxy this time around.
I just wish she didn't feel so slow and fortress like. I felt I could do and move more as Sagat and he moved like molasses
I was just about to post this. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone with that thread. It's ridiculous.

Naah.. I think he is 99% going to just be some jobber like Birdie. Really doubt he is going to get strong enough to beat Guy,Chun Li and Balrog.
Am predicting Abigail story mode will tease some new FF main villain and he is just going to job for him while meeting some other chars.
Zekus entry is curious though , Dont know if he will be involved in a FF Story arc or something related to illuminati/Shadoloo. Even Guy in previous games seemed to be the only FF character who gets involved in both.
