Holy crap, going against Cammy as Abigail really is like in that video. Cammy players are gonna have to figure this out, because swatting them all over the place is way too much fun.

First ranked match against Abigail, damn his v trigger is scary and his armor is redicolous when ex spinning mixer couldn't beat it on wake up

With V-Trigger, Abigail's super does 398 damage, which makes it the third most damaging super in the game. #2 is a tie between Akuma's Raging Demon and Gief's suplex (both of which do 400) and #1 is Birdie's V-Trigger super, which does, I think, 407.
 
Lol I was freaking out because a Laura was my gatekeeper back into Super Silver, but I perfected her round 1 and got a CA finish round 2.

She ragequit, and I'm not sure if I should be upset because I didn't rank up, or laughing because she RQ'd after getting steamrolled.

Anyway, can anybody find a use for st.MK? It seems to have no real usage other than being safe at long range.

I think st. mk is just to beat things like cr. mk or st. mk from karin in the midrange

you can v-trigger cancel it but...eh

The only suggestion I would make is to knee thrust when he jumps over your booms and I don't know why but every Nash, including myself forgets to or refuses to v-reversal at times when in the corner.

Yea I do it a couple of times then forget. I really need to add The knee into a sub conscious level. I only do it when I am consciously baiting a jump and expecting it.

how do you like abigail flux?

I am still losing most of my casual matches with him but he is fun, at least. I really need to check out his frame data. Any tips?

So my Obsidian came in!

Anyone know how to set this up to run on my PC? I thought it would be a simple "plug in and map", except that's not the case at all. Buttons do random shit and I don't know why.

I'm losing a bunch of points with my Ranked account, but I'm getting the gist of him. I feel the most comfortable against characters who need to come to me, and the least against characters who have projectiles. Controlling space with cr.LP and st.LP will probably be important in footsies.

AAing is weird. I feel like he has amazing options when the opponent is somewhat far away, but really bad options when they're close. So V-Skill will probably be pretty important as a go-to AA option for opponents who are almost at cross-up range in the air. Speaking of which, being able to tell what crosses up and what doesn't can be a real problem. Sometimes you'll think something crosses up, so you'll be blocking the other way, but it turns out their attack hit in front of Abigail and then they landed behind him. This happens with him more than it does with other characters because of his size. Opponents who get nuts with jumping might prove to be a big issue if Abigail's V-Skill usage isn't on point.
 
Yeah. Inputs will read in some cases, but they're mapped to bunch of random shit. Like X appears to be mapped to start? I have to use my keyboard to select stuff (with the B button).

Weird! Try resetting it with option and share button held together for ten seconds while plugged in.

time to start workin on my parrying game. I think I am gonna legitimately try to use him enough to make him my secondary character. I like him a lot.
 
saw this in a match today - not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me or what. But if you look at Abigail from the top down, his hair looks like a Canadian Maple leaf.

First time playing Mika since Abigail came out, and it felt weird. Lost my 45 win streak on Ranked to a Laura, which is appropriate. Really want to learn Abigail against Laura, specifically.

Yeah, this was known a while back. Just in case you had any doubts he was Canadian lol.

Yesterday morning was playing no problem. Went out the whole day, came back home at night and the game crashes after the splash image. I've tried reinstalling, deleting all SFV folders, both in steamapps and in appdata/local. I also tried finding the kiwi archive and was nowhere to be found. Any suggestion?
 
I'm surprised they didn't go w/ a Brandi Chastain reference lol
Just looked her up.

Lmao

Did you verify the game cache via Steam?

Sounds dumb, but if restarting the computer started the problem, would doing it again fix it?

Do I win a prize for talking about my penis on the Internet???
Abigail is probably my favorite SFV character now, easily the most fun to use, they hit it out of the park with him IMO.

It will be that way until it releases on another platform that's where all the hate comes from.
Not really. There're lots of people that really got burned by the myriad of problems the game launched with, some of which are still a thing today (like mines). It really degradates the overall enjoyment of the game. Then there're a bunch of very vocal ASW fans that think Capcom is the only thing between wide open success and their beloved studio.
