I love how they redesigned him!! I'm always excited to see Final Fight characters get in to Street Fighter. This raises my hopes for Poison and Sodom.

SFV - Abigail Reveal Trailer

What's hilarious is how you're out here still trying to be Clark Kent towards this game and you won't let anyone's negative opinions of it be their opinion. If people dislike it then they can dislike it as they have a right to. Secondly, nowhere did I say a thing towards success, I said that there's more dislikes than likes and that's a fact, more people even dislike it in this thread than liking it.
I stick by my statement, seems the dislikes have only gotten worse. Yikes lol.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
I mean I actually really appreciate that they went with 5 new characters for S2, but not all of them can be winners.

Is this a super strong but mentally disabled (mind of a child) trope? Because it looks pretty offensive.
at least Max Hass was a heartwarming example of being handicapped this just seems to be for humour.
Hopefully I'm wrong

The FGC is just too dumb sometimes. I imagine Menat (the next character) will be received well due to her being a female with nice "assets".

Why's he albino white???
Based off the concept art, I thought Abigail is supposed to be a black dude? Or maybe just tanned?

Abigail more like Abifail amirite
Can a man not love tires in peace? I'm offended by your assumptions.
It's a tired trope

Abigail has bigger boobs than Menat. She's pretty flat.
When I made that post the dislikes were just slightly higher, now it's damn near 2x more. Shit's wild lol.

We are in the cycle, people
Whine about the character choice/inclusion
Play him or her
Turns out they are fun
Riot if they don't show up in the sequel

Well yeah and then this monster comes around the corner - *vroom vroom*
The fact that a 10 foot tall man is named Abigail is the best aspect of Abigail tbh.

It's like calling someone Tiny when they really aren't.
That's the point.
When is the next Rufus riot scheduled?
When's Hakan

His proportions are not nearly as ridiculous as this joke. Please. Just look at the heads to compare.
I can't believe you'd defend this garbage design.
This makes me wonder how many of the newbies could become franchise mainstays. RASHIDO I think has the highest chance of being part of SF's iconic lineup, then Necalli and Laura. From S2 I think nobody so far.
You're a garbage design

Isn't CC in the FF continuity? Guy's descendant is supposed to be in that game so maybe they didn't wanna fuck with the timelines.

Really? I'm almost positive Ed is a lock for future games. Obviously I could end up being wrong, but that's what I believe.

Now that I'm finally hearing this, I love the actual music itself, but I don't like the vocals at all. They remind me of Megadeth, but with the really high pitched vocals that are my least favorite aspect of early metal.
Ed has "future protagonist/antagonist" written all over him. Hell, he even has his own Guardians of the Galaxy.
Of all of the newcomers, this is who I think has the best chance of returning, in order:
-Rashido
-Ed
-Kolin (assuming future games focus on the Illuminati)
-FANG
-Laura
-Necalli (like Seth, he's clearly a one-and-done plot device)

I wonder what he looks like getting dunked by Necalli's command grab.

I think he looks kind of dumb visually speaking, but his moveset seems cool enough. Not gonna make me jump back in, but he does look kind of interesting.
He's so huge, though. Like, how can you even jump over him? lol

Gross. Who asked for this... thing? D:
They already effed the timeline in SFIV and SFV by having characters from Alpha series and III together and none of them aged.
So if the mods give Abigail an overwatch skin, would it be fair to say that this one definitely will be a Reinhardt skin? While Zangief works well with that skin, it now feels like Abigail is more suited...
As for his playstyle, I'll admit that I had a good laugh since it feels like the perfect evolution of having a Hugo character that is even more exagerated. Still though, I do wonder about the design himself and him having bigger arms than the size of some of the cast.
Still, with the way they teased Abigail and the design he had before we saw this, I feel like we should have one of those "Get ripped in six weeks" meme since it is a rather staggering difference.

I personally love King Diamond's vocals. The early Mercyful Fate/ King Diamond albums are among some of the best metal albums IMO.
Oh God imagine the clipping when Necalli picks up Abigail in his win pose
Rashid & Ed have the best chances at becoming mainstays. Ed in particular is setting up a new arc after the Illuminati. Kolin also has a shot if the Illuminati continues to be a thing post-SFIII.
