They can do day/night stage variations.
I agree that the FF stage looks better in the day than at night. Like Kanzuki Estate.
That taunt combo to end the round was so unnecessary, heh.
but what makes him stand out is his Nitro Charge run. This special move has one hit of armour (two for EX!) and can be cancelled into four follow-ups – a stiff punch, command grab, cumbersome overhead or V-Skill.

We are happy to announce Abigail, the biggest man in Metro City, as the fourth new character to join Season 2 of Street Fighter V.
Hit the jump to see what hes been up to since his Final Fight days.
Making his way from Final Fight to Street Fighter V, Abigail was one of the top ranking members of the Mad Gear Gang. His territory is the Bay Area of Metro City, a location he terrorizes with his gargantuan size, and at eight feet tall, he makes the Red Cyclone look like a spinning top. The tires around Abigails monstrous biceps make is clear what hes been up to when he isnt cracking skulls. This mountain of a man is a complete (mad) gear head that loves to make car noises almost as much as he loves driving them.
One thing thats troubling Abigail is the whereabouts of his prized monster truck. Be sure to check out his character story as he brawls his way through the mean streets of Metro City in search of it.
V-Skill: Hungabee
Abigail thrusts his sizeable belly forwards (either high or low) countering the opponents attack and setting himself up for a combo opportunity.
V-Trigger: Max Power
After popping his two-bar V-Trigger, Abigail can charge up his four different heavy punches for one hit of armour and extended juggles. A full charge will break the opponents guard.
Critical Art: Abigail Special
Abigail slams his opponent with a downward open-palm strike that puts them into a daze. He then hoists them into the air, pummels them like a makeshift speedbag before launching a savage hook that shatters the screen.
As the largest character in the game, youd expect Abigail to be all about the command grabs. He has two, as it happens, but what makes him stand out is his Nitro Charge run. This special move has one hit of armour (two for EX!) and can be cancelled into four follow-ups a stiff punch, command grab, cumbersome overhead or V-Skill. Suffice to say, Abigail isnt a one-trick-pony, hes a horse-power-house.
Also arriving alongside Abigail are his Story and Premium Battle costumes, as well as his own personal stage, the Metro City Bay Area. Fight on this stage long enough and you might see the iconic sunrise that fans will remember from back in Abigails Final Fight days.
Dont forget, the Season 2 Character Pass is available for $29.99 / 29.99 / £24.99 and will grant pass holders with Akuma, Kolin, Ed and Abigail in addition to two brand new fighters to be announced later this year. The pass comes with Premium Battle Costumes with colors 3-10 unlocked and default costume colors 3-10 for each character. Additionally, Season 2 Character Pass holders will receive an exclusive PS4 theme!
In the next few days, well share more information about Abigail. So keep an eye out on our Facebook and Twitter pages for Street Fighter V.
Ok his battle costume is actually pretty great. He looks like a Hokuto no Ken villain!
Abigail would have been better received if this was his default costume
To me Abigail looks more like Double Dragon Neon than FF imoI'm really digging the FF aesthetic tbh.
This is pretty fucking goodAbigail would have been better received if this was his default costume
Yeah his alts are much better, my fave being the welder mask one personally.
This is pretty fucking good
It's because it covers his face.Same. I don't know why but it really improves him imo.
I hope somebody wins majors with him so the kbr backlash can happen in sfvI'm gonna use his default AND MAKE PEOPLE LOOK AT THAT MONSTER.
Maybe his ppp is a 4th normal?4 punches?

Oh yeah, I can see it.To me Abigail looks more like Double Dragon Neon than FF imo
Watching Alex power-bomb Abigail is going to be hilarious.
Cammy will probably disappear inside him during an air throwI wonder how much clipping will be going on
I was gonna say. With the armored moves and the command grabs, he kinda reminds me of a super Birdie.Bye Birdie
1000 in each arm, plus change.how much health
He's gonna headbutt Abigail s chestWatching Alex power-bomb Abigail is going to be hilarious.
4 punches?
I really like Rashid's trigger. It can be absolutely useless or game winning depending how good the defender and the Rashid player is. Not like Fucking Necalli.Real talk, they really need to do something about Rashid's V-Trigger. It's TOO good right now. It's two bars, you can't get through it with projectile invincibility (even though you can for every other similar move like Ed's psycho ball and Urien's mirrors) AND IT BUFFS RASHID'S MOVES. Like what the hell, man. At the very least make it a three bar or something.
Not true necalli can't vreversal so it's perfect KappaI really like Rashid's trigger. It can be absolutely useless or game winning depending how good the defender and the Rashid player is. Not like Fucking Necalli.
Bengus art makes him look really good. That's a first.Abigail Unity post
Toss me into the air if old.
