I bet an inflation mod to match the trailer will be out within 24 hours of his release.
It's stuff like this that made me like Abigail more. He even corrects the announcer at the character select screen (this is even funnier when you realize that his English voice is the Smash 4 announcer).Hell yeah, he looks like a lot of fun.

It's street fighter v. Gameplay has shown how fun he looks but this game will be shit on till the end of times by the vocal crowd here.
That's the point

Hardly seems like a mistake. Very likely intentional they wanted to show this character off in his largest and craziest form.
Generates more discussion overall.

I think this GIF makes it easy to see the difference and should be in the OP.
I don't see that much of a difference, certainly not enough of one to make people who think he's too big feel better about it.
I don't think so. But how Capcom fucked up like this, I have no clue
Eventually they will grow ANOTHER "c", and completely lose that vestigial reputation. And another "pom". Their name will finally realize its true form, when mutation slips a "u" and a "k" in there.
The character design is gross. All the Bane thing does is cube the stupidity.
I agree with the Eurogamer article. I've absolutely loved Final Fight since playing it back in the arcades in the early 90s, was really looking forward to the reveal trailer, and was initially startled at just how large Abigail appeared. But I watched the WSO stream yesterday and, after seeing him played in the context of a full session of matches, I really love what Capcom have done with the character. Fun times next week.

Even if it was unintentionally (which seems super unlikely to me), it hardly feels like a big fuck up.

The mouth still looks so fucking bad. And not just bad in the sense of designed ugly in purpose, but in the sense of something went wrong with the animation.

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
Its not unanimous though, keep your hyperbole to yourself

This is a pretty clear example of the communication issues between CapUS and CapJP.
Here's how it should've went:
But here's how it actually went:
Hugo did the same shit in SFIV.

That's done intentionally. They don't zoom out the camera because they want you to truly grasp how tall he is relative to the other guys.

....wat
This game looks fantastic

I've always though the standard characters were too small in this game.
Too zoomed out.
Was hoping that would change in the Super build.

Christ, "overwhelmingly" then.
Abigail looks like he always did and one of the biggest compliants were that his arms were way to big and ruined the design.

Reception has definitely changed a bit.
At first, from what I heard, the guys at EVO were pretty excited, but at home, the initial reception was shit. Like almost Infinite Warfare level. But then as we saw more and more of the character, people started warming up more and more to the character's personality.

Think I read somewhere that Q is out for season 3 and Sagat and Sakura are in. Still rumors though.
I would bet money against that, seriously. No way this was on purpose.
I'm really warming up to Abigail now. I was afraid he was just going to be an uglier Hugo who is one of my all-time favorite characters. But he seems really unique, especially in his animations where he's so overwhelmingly powerful his command throw is just tossing you into the air and swatting you out of it and a regular throw is flicking his fingers at you.
The more normal proportions really help as his intro looks very weird with his oversized arms. Plus, all the body morphing in V looks really cool and it looks its best during his V-Trigger activation where his torso and arms throb and undulate while steam shoots out of his years.
Plus, his Mad Max-esque Battle Outfit looks great. Fantastic character.

Sounds like function talk to me. Take it from a dude who has tried and failed to get folks to follow Arcana Heart because of its tool functions per character and systems.
CHARACTER DESIGN MATTERS GREATLY.
Folks don't give a damn about how it functions if the character doesn't have a design that interests them.
That shit will only excite players if they also like how the character looks. It takes both looks and functions to create a good FEELING Character. With a shit character design folks just feel nothing.
The ugly weirdo is a trope that some people like, though. What about them?

This. I was shocked to see people saying Birdie is a horrible design. He is one of the best designed characters in any fighter. Stop fat shaming.

Lol it's true. He even looks at the screen while doing that.
His mouth is weird though, looks like the Joker sprayed his gas at him.

He's still too big and he still looks bad.

He does bulk up using v trigger so you are going to see both in gameplay anyway.

I see people bring up Laura a lot. Laura's default isn't even that bad except "i has boobs". I think they have more a problem with exposed butt. Which Laura doesn't have in default.
The more I see Abigail the more I like him. His moveset looks pretty fun. Not really my type of character but I don't care if he's in the game or not. Besides there isn't a fighting game I've ever played where I like the way all the characters looked.
I agree that the less bulky Abigail looks better, but lets be real the hate for him would have been just as strong if they showed the finished version. He's still a weird, exaggerated character, and those have historically gotten negative reception. Just look at Rufus in SF4.
Him slightly smaller version does help his look. I'm clearly in the minority but I don't mind his design at all, he certainly stands out and those alternates are far better than the default IMO.
But yeah how the fuck does Cacpcom keep missing stuff like this lol.
