Street Fighter V |OTVIII| New Delayed Generation - Controversial Inputs

Abigail might be the first character I refuse to play for being too ugly

His design is firmly in "so bad it's actually bad" territory to me

plenty of people have said they like abigail.

I'll be honest, it was hard for me not to crack a grin with his little "Vroom vroom" entrance. That and his little mannerisms like shrugging after pounding someone into the ground or flicking them in the face give him an almost absurd amount of personality in contrast to Hugo's relative stoicism.

Like how they updated his leopard-print tank top too.

EDIT: Christ, does he have to be wearing fucking tires in every costume?
 
I am happy Menat is next. I like the idea of Rose having an apprentice and her design looks sweet from the little we've seen so far. Hopefully Capcom delivers with her, and hopefully she comes out in August.

Holy fuck, how did Capcom look at this and think it was good enough to show off, let alone release, Jesus Christ. Fucking SF4 had better character models.

That's a lie?

No one in sf4 looks as good as even abigail, you not liking his design is something else entierly

I'm not calling the design ugly, I'm calling the character model itself ugly. The design's fine.
I just can't see how someone can look at that character model and think it looks fine, or even great. Funny how Capcom gets bashed for tons of shit for this game, but a character model like this gets a pass? OK then.

I'll be back when they show off Menat.

I mean, what would you change about it?

lol, you need to cool it with accusing everyone who doesn't agree with you of being a liar. You've done it in other threads too and it's not a good look.

Abigail's a character where you've either bought into the action figure SF design aesthetic or you haven't.

Are you saying he suits the games design? Because my primary issue with him is that he sticks out like a sore thumb. Those blow up arms and comically small head make him look like a joke next to the rest of the cast, even Birdie.
 
Abigail looks very janky, in terms of his animations. He's very stiff and uncanny valley, a lot of his shit looks really bad in motion. That two-handed machine gun uppercut looks terrible

Put me in the naysayer camp.

So it looks like he has a move that can dodge fireballs
He has a running STRIKE and not grab
He seems to have some sort of a command throw?
His throws seem to place you pretty far away.
He did a v-reversal and then into a pretty slow strike and then another throw?

Wait I think he has a parry.

And his v-trigger lets you wallbounce I guess?

Oh man he's going to be that dude that makes people pissed.
Yeah like, I dunno man


Yes it is, your head doesn't start growing just because you're tall.
Have you seen Hugo

... I called you a liar, JUST YOU , once because you actually lied. About a person, who I can literally bring up video as to attest to you lying, so we aren't even going to start with you. Person who lied about a person who is on video , proving you a liar.

And two, it is a false hood, by the nature of the model, it does infact in his ugly ass face, look better than any sf4 model. It does, its better made all SFV models look better than sf4 models, everyone in sf4 looks like they are made on a template sfv does not. Its actually a false hood. It looks better it is a higher fidelity than any SF4 model.

So before you go in here telling me what is or isn't a good look, because you wanna save face for bring salty at Maximilian because he looked at you funny or some shit. Actually pay attention to the conversation before you come at me

Basically what Edzi said. His tiny head, ugly face and massively grotesque arms are what put me off. The design itself isn't bad, but they've fucked it up with that God-awful character model.

... That's not the model, that's the design.

I don't know why the Max stuff bothers you so much, I still stand behind every word I said.
