Capcom did an amazing job getting the other character's grabs to look normal on him. His size was a concern for me but they look natural. Rashid's back throw has him climbing all the way to the top of Abigail's head to complete the throw, it looks badass, lol.

 

[Rice-Eater]

don't get crush countered by Abby, lol

Basically if you have a DP, no matter how much you want to use it, just don't.

 

[Alchemist]

Abigail looks like trouble already

Abby's stage music sounds so fitting for Final Fight.

Love everything about this update. OMG Ryu stage and music.

 

[ColonialHawk]

Oh man his ex qcb punch move can be continued for as long as you want. The move itself maxes out at 12 hits and the scaling goes down to 7% lol

It's corner only though

 

[Mizerman]

probably couldn't get the animations to sync due to his large frame

Likely.

 

[jett]

Unless I'm doing something wrong, I don't think stage transitions work on Abigail.

What a copout.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Look like I did Abigail a justice since I just got Akuma to rage quit when I got him in a corner and locked him with EX flip slam.

And it's in casual match. Also why people would rage quit during casual match?

The opponent can quick rise out of it. It's not a true combo. This should eliminate timerscam.

 

[spazchicken]

Ok so Abi has a few better ways to get around projectiles that Gief but he still should be no problem once I get used to his flip move. He's the footsie king though, you aren't going toe to toe with him. It's like an older brother holding your head while you flail at him from a mile away.

Only in V-Trigger?

 

[mbpm1]

This character feels very strange. Unlike my first impression of Kolin though, it's a good strange. He feels like a slower, bulkier Ken mixed with birdie.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

What a copout.

Way better than the alternative

 

[Alchemist]

Another small addition. Favorite character settings are now saved individually.

 

[Skilletor]

This stage is hot.

 

[Nocturnowl]

It's a shame that we wont be seeing Abigail squeezed into either the log or tomb on the waterfall stage then.

Another small addition. Favorite character settings are now saved individually.

I was wondering why my Vega was already rocking the brown hair.

 

[jett]

This stage is hot.

57fps?

Japanese patch notes

Another small addition. Favorite character settings are now saved individually.

No longer do I have to re-enter the costume and color whenever I switch fav character? Great!

 

[ColonialHawk]

Oh fuck! He does OraOraOraOras! in his Japanese voice during his super.

 

[Alchemist]

No longer do I have to re-enter the costume and color whenever I switch fav character? Great!

Nope. Good QOL change if you play multiple characters like myself.

 

[SecretSphere]

Wow, just found out abigail can v-skill parry fireballs with the right timing. I thought it wouldn't work against fireballs.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Is it just me or is the camera zoomed out more when Abigail is played?

 

[Skilletor]

57fps?

I was spamming geforce photo button

As a person who plays a character with 900 health, this Abigail tech is terrifying.

Edit: Anybody want to play?

wait really? that's not what it was in the preview build

 

[kikiribu]

hot green is hot

 

[Zackat]

abigail vs abigail makes it kind hard to see anything lol

 

[SecretSphere]

wait really? that's not what it was in the preview build

You have to perfect time it, it's less forgiving than with normal attacks. I only tested it with ryu.

 

[ElFly]

after f+HP as an Anti AA, Abigail can follow up. His super connects easily, as does Nitro Punch. of course this works even when trading, and this command move seems to be really good hitbox wise?

Is it just me or is the camera zoomed out more when Abigail is played?

just you, unless it is really subtle. Tried it with Zangief in training mode, and the info boxes appear to be in the same place. Gief looks tiny in comparison tho

 

[MCD250]

Okay, trying it out now. Fuck me, his range is nuts.

 

[Village]

Just played his story

My head canon is abigail and alex are best friends

Also other Final FIght characters show up

All of them that I would very much like to be in this game

 

[sixteen-bit]

Abigail is so fucking awesome to play. His moves seem unsafe on block tho.

 

[JusDoIt]

Alex's buttery Avirex leathers is taking me back to '99.

 

[mbpm1]

Man, abigail's meaties seem real limited

 

[MCD250]

It's a Birdie situation where his character model is super massive but your shit might clip through him because his hurtboxes are not where you think they are.

 

[kikiribu]

Is it just me or is the camera zoomed out more when Abigail is played?

Nah, I tested it on Temple Hideout. Top of the screen is the same height. He's just that big, makes you feel smaller than usual.

 

[MCD250]

Abigail is so fucking awesome to play. His moves seem unsafe on block tho.

Some of his normals, too. Pretty weird.

 

[ElFly]

Man, abigail's meaties seem real limited

maybe you can setup so his crMP hits super late?

also his LP, LP target combo doesn't need to hit to start, so maybe that?

 

[shockthrill]

He should be the focus of the next story mode update for SF V


seeing as he is pretty much the "Messiah/Chosen One" figure of the SF universe, if i remember interpreting SF 3 right?

 

[Zombegoast]

Abigail's Cr.Jab AA

He's a Alpha 3 character.

 

[MCD250]

Abigail has a lot of idle animations. He even has a (cancellable) recovery animation for his forward throw where he checks his fingers, and also one for when his CA fails.

 

[shockthrill]

in Abigail's storymode, i find it weird that Abigail's subordinate, Axl looks exactly like Alex lol

 

[MrCarter]

Rashid's costume without jacket. My absolute favorite from the sports costumes. His amazing animations shine even more now.

Amazing costume for Rashid and I love that little touch of having his name on the back of his jersey.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Abigail's Cr.Jab AA

He's a Alpha 3 character.

or in the Guile club

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Some of his normals, too. Pretty weird.

Not too weird. Same concept as Birdie's st.HP being -6 oB. Trade off for long reach.

 

[joe2187]

There's potential to cheese out the outdated cpu on survival with his running grab.

Yeah. Same with Cammy's throw. It looks so cool lol.

 

[joe2187]

Just beat easy and normal, spamming running grab and nothing else, never even had to use any points to recover health in either run.
