This is one of the worst character designs I've seen in regards to a dude in fighting games.
He looks just, bizarre.
It won't be happening then.Oro, Necro and Q would be so. FUCKING. AWESOME.
Should Season 4 (2019, Final Fight 30th Anniversary) be all FF characters?
If we got Haggar, Cody, Guy, Lucia, Sodom, and another FF boss (preferably Belger or Damnd), I think that'd be really cool.
which is awesome.
I know people want more realistic characters, but he is so strange that I feel compelled to play him. Capcom has made plenty of really weird characters.
Street Fighter is home to Blanka, Necro, and Twelve, so these "omg what happened to capcom" posts amuse me to no end. Grotesque oddballs are a Street Fighter staple and help give the series its unique charm. Abigail is the second truly zany design in a roster of 26 characters. That's not unreasonable.

There's enough variety within Final Fight for me to be okay with that, though swap Lucia for Maki & the extra Final Fight boss for either Hugo, Rolento, or Poison.Should Season 4 (2019, Final Fight 30th Anniversary) be all FF characters?

For Ryu.
Abigail's not thematically similar to those characters, but between his physique and his height, he just looks so ridiculously superhuman that it's easy to classify him as one of Street Fighter's "weird" characters. I'd also put Dhalsim and F.A.N.G in that group, who are a bit more grounded than Necro and Twelve.I don't really see how oddballs like Blanka, Necro and Twelve are really related to Abigail. Abigail certainly fits the grotesque part, but there's way less of a stretch between him and his fighting style (which clearly stems from his physical build) compared to Blanka, Necro or Twelve (the latter two which are basically justified as lol science)
He's certainly zany and I also like the variety he adds to the roster, but I don't really think he's a character in that same vein as Blanka at all.
I wouldn't want Maki and Guy in the same season, especially with Zeku coming this year.There's enough variety within Final Fight for me to be okay with that, though swap Lucia for Maki & the extra Final Fight boss for either Hugo, Rolento, or Poison.
That....actually makes sense. Then maybe Poison over Maki?I wouldn't want Maki and Guy in the same season, especially with Zeku coming this year.
And the reason I want the last character to be a wildcard is because the best aspect of a themed season is to get a new character from that theme that you'd never get any other way. The only opportunity we really have of seeing one of the bosses debut in SF is through a FF themed season, and just getting another character in their place that's already been seen and done is a lot less impactful.

Same deal as the wildcard. Let's get some newcomers.That....actually makes sense. Then maybe Poison over Maki?

With an unusually large physique, Abigail is a former member of the Mad Gear gang. Now he works as the president of a company that remodels cars and handles scrap metal in Metro City.

Can a man not love tires in peace? I'm offended by your assumptions.
It's a tired trope
He is treading new ground.
I like big dudes most of the time, usually the likes of Hulk and Juggernaut in MvC or Bowser and Ganondorf in Smash, but Abigail doesn't look like my kind of character. He's just a liiiiittle unsettling.
He's far better than Ed, though. Ed is just boring.
Its not about being ugly, comic relief, or weirdly proportioned.
Rufus was ugly.
Hakan was comic relief.
Fang is weirdly proportioned.
Abigail is just repulsive. He'll be showing up on the worst character design lists later this year and throughout the years.
I was convinced Capcom had lost the plot but now Im convinced they're purposefully making dumb decisions. Seriously, whose gonna want to drop money on this abomination? Besides the hardcore FGC crowd.
I'm surprised how crazy negative the reaction is
He's a big dumb character but it's something totally different, especially in a game full of "normal" stylish characters
Dude looks like a monster action figure, it's fuckin rad

WHAT THE FUCK
I mean.. I don't care for this type of character at all but I don't understand how you can have this kind of reaction, it seems kinda hysterical.
It really seems like people are on this anti-SFV hipster bandwagon, hating literally anything to do with the game.
Welp they fucked up perfectly ok Bay Area restrooms remix with those lyrics.
I'd be okay with the vocals if the singer didn't try to do that shitty garage band "it's not a phase mom" growly voice.Welp they fucked up perfectly ok Bay Area restrooms remix with those lyrics.

What's wrong with EdHugo is a bizarre design.
This is hideous. Whats up with the gray? Of all colors...gray?
I 100% want to say in Abigails defense though that Ed is worse.
I imagine the stage theme will be closer to what you want.
Oh, I agree. Just a shame though, as I thought the character-specific themes for pre-season 2 had been *so good* (especially for the 4 new vanilla characters).The stage theme though (heard during the trailer) actually sounds fine.
