I don't get it they are trying something different, when Capcom tries something new people will complain and when they never change things and keep it the same they still complain :(

What is this different from? :/ it's a giant character no one asked for.

I think he's awesome. Abigail and his stage are like the most 90ies fighting game shit they could come up with. I'm all for it.

I can't find a good shot for comparison with a short google search but, relative to Ken, Abby's larger than Juggernaut, right?

I don't know about in game height, but Jugg definitely took up a much larger space on the screen.

He doesnt turn angry like in FF though
Yes he does. He turns red in his V-Trigger.

Just like the other two large, imposing characters...

I dig it. I'm really looking forward to him. It was a bit of a flat reveal though.
Definitely. If he'd been even a somewhat popular character like Haggar, the reveal would've had a lot more oomph to it.

Love the remix of the Bay Area theme from Final Fight. Pretty meh on Abigail's reveal, but cool to have Final Fight get another representation.

I still hope Mike Hagar, Maki, & Carlos will make an appearance in a future Street Fighter game, though.
 
YouTube comments deliver:

"WTF Can he even jump?"
Yes, he jumps in the trailer. Still.

"Abigail hentai gonna be lit"

XDXDXD

his moves just seem kinda random, even accounting for the fact that he's a 'brawler.' the front flip thing in particular bugs me

also, yet another big guy who goes red and steaming during V-trigger. fucking come on. I have mixed feelings about his design but this is so damn lazy and uninteresting. I'd like to see some more unique effects or appearance changes with V-triggers in general. not everyone needs something like Necalli's, but there's definitely lots of untapped potential.

He's named after an album by a punk rock group.

Like almost all of Final Fight, he's inspired by pro-wrestling and punk rock.

Black metal group. Like how Sodom was named after thrash metal.

Abigail is weird because he was just an Andore headswap. Damnd would have made more sense, I think.

Do I win a prize for talking about my penis on the Internet???
He looks like that guy whose arms exploded after injecting too much synthol..only Abigails arms survived and just leveled to 99.

I kinda love it.

Maki isn't more popular than him lol, most of the people haven't played FF2 and know her only from CvS2.
If they wanted a new FF character only ED could have been better but we already have a character named like that and the final boss...well he is in a wheelchair lol.
Yes there is always Haggar but since he hasn't been in any SF so far my theory is that they want to keep him out for other games like MVC or want a SF without Zangief in it(even though with the pipe in mvc he played different enough to grant him a spot imho)

His animations do feel a bit off but I rather like what I see.
Getting vibes of Last Blade Juzoh for some reason.
 
My order of priority for FF characters to join SF would be Haggar, Lucia, Edi, Belger,and Damd. I don't know any other guys enough to say.

I only want Belger if he stays in his chair.

The character they really should have gone with, though, is Dean from Final Fight 3.
That's a weird way to spell Lucia.
 
Might as well post the other remaining Final Fight bosses in case anyone isn't familiar. These are the ones who haven't been in Street Fighter yet:

Damnd


Edi E


Belger (He can walk, he doesn't actually need the wheelchair.)


The character they really should have gone with, though, is Dean from Final Fight 3.

if i remember correctly, there's another female character called Lucia in FF3, no?

We're such a long way from the size differences found in Street Fighter 3. Street Fighter 6 should be interesting.

I guess they're trying for an XMvSF style Juggernaut.
