Yeah it's definitely a bamboozler! I confuse myself sometimes when I use it lol.I still like to call it the ex. wtfisgoingon
You clearly how no idea how long I've spent with each game
Spacing a psycho inferno is a way to safely chip your opponent and even bait them into pressing a button that'll whiff from how far back Bison is. Yes you gotta use your brain and space it correctly, but when it's used that way it's useful. Scissor kicks on block aren't that great and they leave him a bit too close so I can understand why it's not really used.
ex scissor kick tho? with a 3f now? whew. bison is pretty much a walking + sign and I'm honestly totally fine with all of that. Even his bullshit dash. I'm fine with it. it's just.. ex dr needs to be fixed, that's it.
I'm gonna quote this because it's still cracking me up. The way Abigail just smiles as he watches Necalli splat on the ground kills me.
I've watched dozens of hours of footage of every top Bison player online and offline, and none of them use Psycho Inferno like that. All of the fires are -10 or more on block, so we're talking only being able to use this outside of poke range. And like I said, it's not a good gamble - a slight position change from your opponent means getting punished hard. I'd rather use Psycho Blast.
Anyway, I think after playing with GB last night I'm cool with moving on from the character. I don't think I'll ever enjoy him and I've been hanging on too long.
And if you're spent that much time with each of those games, admit that EX DR isn't even noteworthy in the grand scheme of fighting games. ;-)
It isn't broken.That's the point that I'm going for, you use it at max distance, where their stubby ass pokes won't be able to punish it, then you whiff punish whatever button they press afterwards. You set it up this way, it's not a gamble unless the character has a CA that starts up really quickly or something, if all their buttons and specials will whiff, what's the gamble? Your opponent isn't changing positions because they're in a blockstring lol.
and nah I don't gotta admit shit, the attack is ridiculous currently and I can't wait for it to be fixed. Not necessarily nerfed, just fixed.

In a blockstring it's better to just use Psycho Blast H since it is +. I have done what you are talking about, though.
Is that his cLP you are using to keep her away? LolAbigail vs. Cammy (lol)
I like this. The player did tell me he's bad against Day 1 characters and their gimmicks, but this is basically how Mika vs. Zangief looks, but on another level.
I'd like to see how my Nash does against your Abi because I've been having a pretty easy time against him at my level using the same tactics I use against Gief.Abigail vs. Cammy (lol)

Yeah, I expect Abigail vs Cammy is going to be a big old buffer fest for her, since she can't compete with his buttons otherwise. But then there's that command run of his.Abigail vs. Cammy (lol)

If you have footage where Inferno is used consistently like this, I will gladly watch it. I admit I haven't kept up in the last few months.Its most definitely a thing.And the chip from inferno is much greater , and it not being a charge move benefits its use in neutral. -10 isnt as bad as you think , if your opponent's sweep doesnt reach. Though i'll admit , even I only see Bison players start doing it recently. Wonder why nobody did it in S1 since it doesnt seem to have gotten changed iirc.
H Psycho blast can be jabbed tho I think and it being non charge move means you can walk forward and poke and use it in block strings. But yea its not really broken or anything.

I think Nash beats Abi pretty easily. Slow fireballs seem to be his bane. I fought against Floes Abi yesterday on stream , Lol it was pretty funny since I was watching the stream while queuing up. Suddenly am like wait a minute thats me lol. He turned off the stream after that match lmao.
I just fought Aby with Ryu and watched him roll through all my Hadokens.
You know what, fuck this game and everything it fucking stands for. My salt overfloweth right now
Abigail can't roll through Hadokens...?
Yeah no, he was definitely doing some rolling kick through hadokens easily.
The person in the vid 'Kim1234' is the same person i played multiple sets with at my local since I had to play a Bison at EVO.
We then hit training to see Nashs options against EX DR.He pretty much told me , you just have to guess to beat it with Nash. And the guess isnt in your favo. At certain ranges if you predict a EX Stomp->DR. You can Bazooka knee and then dash to maybe get out of its way. Otherwise , you are pretty much have to hold it.
The only good bisons I have fought is Kim1234 and SD pnoy , and of all of Bisons moves , thats the one move that puts me off so much. I can have control of the game so much until that fking move comes out. Its definitely annoying in neutral , and you dont need to react to a 2f gap. I am just saying it is an option. You cant always god for super tight 1f gap block strings , since it will lose to delayed teching.
For a person with "Bad defense" having a move like that and a 3f normal isnt half bad. When a good majority of the cast is also in the "bad defense" world.
Pretty much this, I dont mind bison even getting buffs to fix his issues if this move worked in a certain way. His dashes and all the other moves and fine , and needed for him to remain an offensive monster without any real ambiguity.
I've been doing alright against Nash, in the 214 matches I've played with Abigail. Seems like a bad MU, but b+HP is good against his FBs, and Nash doesn't have a multi-hitting one, so that makes the job easier.
?
I actually said a few pages ago that most of the cast has bad defense. In S1 he had awful defense. In S2 he has mediocre defense. He has a few anti air options and a 3f but that's also not exactly special either. But to conclude our slap fight, ex dr is many things but it's not a defensive move.
You almost got me thinking that Abby's cr.HK was projectile invul., and I was gonna go crazy. You must be talking about his -11 on block overhead.

In my opinion, no.so do you guys see Abby being a top tier character in tournament play?
Projectile invincible sweep would be awesoneYou almost got me thinking that Abby's cr.HK was projectile invul., and I was gonna go crazy. You must be talking about his -11 on block overhead.
Abigail vs. Cammy (lol)
I like this. The player did tell me he's bad against Day 1 characters and their gimmicks, but this is basically how Mika vs. Zangief looks, but on another level.
Abigail can cancel the b hp into run or parry so it's viable enough I thinkYea but B.HP is super slow recovery. I can whiff punish with Scythe or take a small risk and Jaguar kick to follow the boom.
I wanna take Abigail srsly now after seeing your cammy match lmao . Cammy Nash is a nightmare matchup.
It might not seem special on paper , but in this game its 'something' I guess. Though I blame the game more than the character.
And yea i'd say hes average or below average. But not terribad like some people make it out to be.
Them yolo Kens are the worst but also the best.Every time I see a B-Boy Ryu, I'm just not gonna run it back, win or lose.
They all play the same, and it's the shitty ass "crossup and spam mp until you can hit the target combo" playstyle that makes you pull your hair out like the "ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK" Kens.

That is remarkably accurate.Every time I see a B-Boy Ryu, I'm just not gonna run it back, win or lose.

Man, I'd like to see that. I hope he was salty. I like Flo. Is it posted up anywhere? If I ever beat a pro player, I don't care if it was a day one character, their controller broke and then they had a stroke mid game, I'm making the biggest deal in the world about it.
In my opinion, no.
But then I wouldn't expect a Gief to have made top 8 at EVO either, so what do I know. Also, seeing what Flux did to that Cammy was kind of ridiculous.
I'm still going to say no for now.
Abigail can cancel the b hp into run or parry so it's viable enough I think
I doubt we'll a ton of Abby players in Top 8/16, but I feel like a few will make it. So long as you aren't bottom ass tier, you have a decent shot. And even then, the bottom ass tiers sans Juri, sometimes Ryu, and Alex make it.
His Run->Kick?
When does the armor start on Abi's run? It seems inconsistent but maybe I just don't get it yet.

Armor from 3F while active (1 hit)
Frame 5, apparently.
The holding armor in VT starts on frame 3.
So does he gain an additional hit, even normally, on the 5th frame of the overhead? Or? I dunno.Armor from 5F to 27F (1 hit)
So the costume code doesn't do anything for Laura's Sporty costume?
Looks like no.So the costume code doesn't do anything for Laura's Sporty costume?
That was good. Great job. That was funny when he found out that you were watching, or listening anyways.His Run->Kick?
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/162055502?t=02h28m44s
I'd say its a fair match , since that was literally the first Abi i fought after getting back home.
And why it the notion that gief is bad always there , lmao hes very good this season.
What this means is that the armor starts on the 3rd frame where Abby starts running, but not when he takes the pose. The armor ends as soon as you press any button for a follow-up, so it's not like Zangief's EX bear hug.
EX is the same, except Abby gains 1 hit. In V-Trigger, Abby gains armor as soon as he assumes the pose, so before he runs.
It's weird, because the official data says a lot of things. Like, for the kick follow-up:
So does he gain an additional hit, even normally, on the 5th frame of the overhead? Or? I dunno.
I was beating it though , maybe he has to cancel to EX Run? The armor comes on much later in the non EX one.
I mean you have Chun at top 8 too at EVO too.
Unless you character is ridiculously OP , you need a really good player representing that character , even if hes mid tier or something someone really good needs to play him srsly.
Chars like Chun,Nash,Gief have good rep regarldess of tiers coz of the players using them. Unless some pro really starts liking Abigail , I dont see it happening.
