Capcom please...

I'm already dreading about the ways that they'll screw up DMC5 and its marketing.

 

[Orochinagis]

Maybe is just damage control on people complaining on his design?

Yeah, like how they fixed Ken's face after 3 days, too

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

He doesn't look much different.



Not even close.

well both they hair red

 

[sixteen-bit]

I wonder if Capcom made any mistakes in the SDCC trailer for MvCI

They're going to screw DMC5 up by simply not making it.

Is Abigail meant to be a gender fluid/non binary character?

no

What a surprise, Trump hating on Mexicans again

Have faith.

A fighting game character design should be evaluated in a holistic context taking animation and move set into account. Abigail looked good on the showcase stream from Winner Stays On.

He's ugly (on purpose) but his personality comes through in his gameplay. That's a good design in my book.

100%

Ugly, but it works. Love the "liquid metal" look of his super moves. It's now at least like 15% less silly looking, but since the whole design is about...petrol and power, I weirdly dig it and the move set.

Not "pleasant" but that's the point.

 

[Bergerac]

no

So they're being fluid with the name instead?

 

[Lulubop]

So they're being fluid with the name instead?

he's name is music related? He's a character created in the 80s? He was bullied because his name is Abigail, and the name is a gag because you wouldn't expect such a big guy to be named Abigail.

I think you're fucking with me tho.

 

[Mechanized]

Looks better, still not feeling the character at all though. Make him 10% smaller and 10% less jacked.

 

[Death Penalty]

Have faith.

Is Nomura giving lessons now?

 

[Zekes!]

Abigail is gonna be number 1 at EVO next year and you're gonna like it

 

[Fitts]

I have to admit that this character has been steadily winning me over. I hated the design at reveal, (especially considering that Final Fight has some good shit to draw from) but my only real gripe at this point is his size. Still, the more you shrink the character the less his move set fits, so I don't know what the fuck I want because his playstyle looks fun.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Is Nomura giving lessons now?

Huh?

Nomura games get announced and then go MIA for years. Itsuno hasn't even announced his game yet. His last project was DMC4SE which was released within a year of its announcement.

 

[RRockman]

So they're being fluid with the name instead?

Dude just cause he has what can be interpreted as a girls name doesn't mean he isn't a man. Kamille would be pissed.

 

[Freshmaker]

What does that have to do with his character design

Functions over form.

 

[Turbanator]

So they're being fluid with the name instead?

He's named after a King Diamond album from the 80s.

He also looks like King Diamond.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I can't tell if this thread is for real. There is barely a difference. I had to rewind like 7 times when he went out of v trigger to see if I was missing something. He's still too big and the design is still stupid.

Edit: Tried to get a good comparison. Seems to mostly affect the size of his arms and traps. Don't look quite as thick and unwieldy as in the trailer.

 

[Hubble]

Capcom can't get anything right with Street Fighter huh.

 

[pretty done]

Not when Twelve exists.

That's a solid pick for runner up worst character. Abigail wins free tho.

 

[yurinka]

I think he still looks bad, but not as horrible as he was in the reveal trailer. Maybe it's just because his white costume looks better than in night stages or because his alternate costumes are better, and perspective during gameplay favors him.

His intro animation simulating he's driving a car is too stupid, like many things from Fang. I think Abigail and Fang character designs are the worst ones I saw in Street Fighter since Captain Sawada and Area.

Is Abigail meant to be a gender fluid/non binary character?

At least until now he always has been credited or mentioned as "male". As happened many times back then, his name and appeared is inspired by metal bands/artists/albums from the 80's.

I assume he's a cis male.

 

[Storm Chamber]

Put Hodor in a fighting game brehs

 

[GuardianE]

Still hideous. Hilarious they fucked up the reveal, but I don't think it would have made much difference.

 

[J 0 E]

The costume on the right is sooo good. I'm not quite sure WHO or what it reminds me of though. The red hair is sending me.

Fang's just keeping up with the traditional goofy SF designs like Blanka, Sodom, Oro, Hakan etc.

but the worst Street Fighter design of all time is Ed; he looks terrible and I can't believe anyone Capcom signed off on him

 

[RecRoulette]

I wonder if Capcom made any mistakes in the SDCC trailer for MvCI

Yeah, they brought back Nemesis. (I kid)

 

[Telephone Man]

Much better, but I still worry if his head's too small. At least compared to Hugo's.

 

[lucebuce12]

You don't need the "I kid" part.
