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?

Unless they timeskip, they might not even highlight him. Next story is about Ed and bisons return.

 

[shockthrill]

so i guess Axl is suppose to look like SF V Alex

cause i honestly thought that was Alex again at first

Update downloading now. DOWNTOWN ABI ALL NIGHT.

 

[JusDoIt]

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

Damn. I might need to cheese these last two achievements and grab that fight money along the way then.

did Capcom mention that the next story will focus on Ed?

that sounds interesting


I thought they would focus more on

is street fighter fake?

 

[MCD250]

Laura straight up disappears inside Abigail when she does her back throw.

Ibuki has telekinesis now? D:

Japanese patch notes

What does it say?

What does it say?

well it says FANG's V-trigger

I assume FANG was nerfed

 

[katsubento]

There's potential to cheese out the outdated cpu on survival with his running grab.

Edit: thank you, saw the post.

Nah but his story mode is a big focus

Also Abby is great.

Bison isn't returning , I think you are strait up wrong

Bison is gone in SF3, I think him trying and failing will be the story.

Returning not so much

Unless bison is actually q

Bison gets all of his perfect teeth knocked out and since they are the source of his power he immediately and permanently dies.

 

[ElFly]

Gill steals Bison's car, and Bison possesses Abigail's body to recover it

 

[MCD250]

Laura's hair looks nicer in her sporty costume. It moves more naturally. Wonder if they can change hee hair in other costumes to use this hair instead.

Good

Bison is dead, let bison be a weird ass force ghost and be a ghost.

I doubt they will repeat the mistake SF3 made by getting rid of one of gaming's most iconic villains.

Instead, I think SF3 will be retconned, and we'll have some background scene about how Bison is currently in hiding to regather his strength so he can make an appearance again at some point. Otherwise the ending to SFV story mode makes 0 sense.

 

[TheSpoiler]

I don't mean return for good. Just come back possessing ed

 

[Zombegoast]

What does it say?

Chun Li reverted back to the Original Street Fighter 2

 

[kikiribu]

lol what your pic didn't capture is that at end of the animation, she ends up really close to him and looks like she exploded his nutsack.

Laura's hair looks nicer in her sporty costume. It moves more naturally. Wonder if they can change hee hair in other costumes to use this hair instead.

Same deal with Mika's story costume. It looks wayyyyy better than her default. Her default bangs look incomplete in comparison.

I think it's been mentioned that the default costumes generally have less detailed hair than the alts. You can see it clearly with Chun, Cammy and Karin since they keep the same haircut between some costumes.

Street Fighter isn't fake, its scripted.

 

[JusDoIt]

I doubt they will. Other characters like Mika got hair model changes in their alts that never made it to the default.

 

[bob_arctor]

Oh wow. Abigail is DOPE AS FUCK. Good shit, Capcom.

 

[Village]

.

Injustice murdered one of the most iconic villians in fiction in recent history of the world

The fucking joker

You know how they fix it, but putting the fucking joker in injustice 2

Being dead doesn't mean not being in the game, it just means you are fucking dead

Abigail's colors

 

[Edzi]

I'm really liking Abigail.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Infil's stream is hilarous

I guess I'm going to purchase Hugo colors for Abigail.

 

[bob_arctor]

I'm really liking Abigail.

Yesss! Leave old and busted behind, embrace new hotness. Low-tier life in the fast lane! Vroom, vroom!!

Got a link?


Abigails Idle animations shake the screen.

 

[kikiribu]

I need these.

Yesss! Leave old and busted behind, embrace new hotness. Low-tier life in the fast lane! Vroom, vroom!!

This one, yeah?

Does this kinda confirm Hugo isn't coming to SF5? I wanted these two in the same game. :[

 

[Mizerman]

Abigail's colors

Ah, the Andore colors. Nice callback.

 

[Xeteh]

I mean not that I had any hopes for Abigail's story but... wow. That's uh... someone got paid to write that.

Got a link?

After playing as Abigail I'm liking him more than I thought I would.

Don't get my hopes up!! It would be incredible.

You guys know it's your chance to rank up against Diamond players who are playing Abigail right?

or in the Guile club

Yeah which is Alpha 3.

 

[Numb]

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

It only alittle over a year to give a decent outfit
But they delivered

Now get rid of Birdie and make into his alpha look

 

[DunpealD]

What I found on Abigail:

- His V-Skill is treated as a special. So special cancels work on it.
- Which means you can b.HP -> V-Skill two hit projectiles
- V-Skill is autocorrect. So he can use it as an anti cross up.
- V-Skill is special cancellable on hit.
- He can recrumple st.HP CC into V-Trigger hold st.HP.
- He taunts after some specific moves, as long as you keep him neutral afterwards. Ex Abigail Punch has a different taunt than normal one.

 

[MCD250]

Cammy fighting Abigail on Infil's stream and I can already see the contours of The Struggle that will be that matchup.

 

[Turbanator]

Cool, he got a Ken color, complete with banana hair.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I need frame data here, I'm dying. Keep trying to punish overheads with st.MP, and that's no good. Also, I never want to be defensively jumping with this guy, but then that makes things problematic against Laura.

 

[SephLuis]

Otherwise the ending to SFV story mode makes 0 sense.

You're looking for reason in the wrong place.

I don't play heavy characters, but Abigail is fun. I don't know why exactly what it makes him fun to use.

 

[joe2187]

Anybody up for some stupid Abby lobbies?

 

[Teh Lurv]

"Despite Cammy's air throw, I'm confident Capcom will competently handle working Abigail into all the existing animations." /s
