Abel

Image:SSFIV-Abel_Face.jpg

Abel has no recollection of his past. All he knows is that, his father figure from when he awoke with his memory loss, told him to stay away from Shadaloo and from S.I.N. When his father figure died in an accident, Abel had nothing standing in his way from finding out the truth. Now he is on a quest to discover what part he has with Shadaloo and S.I.N. Little does he know that he was actually an early rejected "model" as a replacement body for M. Bison, created in the Living Incubator project. Meant to be disposed of, Abel only managed to survive thanks to Charlie Nash. If Abel discovers the truth, one wonders how he will cope with learning what his true purpose was.


In a nutshell

Abel is a well-rounded melee character who possesses a terrifyingly amazing mixup game. His appearance is deceiving at first glance, as despite his size he can gain momentum easily and utterly confound an opponent with crossups and Marseilles Rolls. His command throw bolsters his mixup even further, and both of his Ultras are very useful depending on the matchup. Despite these strengths, Abel's two greatest weaknesses are his size and his up-close-and-personal fighting style. His size makes him susceptible to easy crossups and character-specific combos, and as a grappler he is outclassed by his more "pure" counterparts, such as Zangief. Still, if you like keeping your opponent on their toes and punishing them hard for their mistakes, give Abel a shot.

AE ver. 2012 Changes

Crouching Heavy Punch

Expanded hitbox upward to ease use as an anti-air move.


Tornado Throw

Changed damage from 150 to 160 for light, 170 to 180 for medium, and 190 to 200 for heavy/EX versions.


Breathless

Made strike-invincible from start of dash to just before hit detection. Eliminated throw invincibility after start of dash.


Second Low

Extended hit stun by 2F, giving a possible +9F advantage when completing EX Focus→Dash in the shortest possible time.


AE Changes

  • 2nd hit of Abel's Crouching Hard Punch has a smaller hitbox, both upward and downward.
  • Tornado Throw damage reduced.
  • Roll lost some of its hit invincibility at the end of it, making it easier to punish.
  • Ultra 1 had a 10% damage reduction. Ultra 1's new damage would range from 309-450.
  • Ultra 2 10% damage reduction, slower startup, super armor gets removed when Abel starts to run forward and there's a longer recovery time when you cancel out of it. New damage totals for Ultra 2 should range from 295-440.
