Abel

Abel is a warrior who has forgotten his past. He fights to see if he can... REMEMBER!! Unbeknownst to him, he's actually one of the warriors created by Seth... if you look closely, Abel and Seth have... THE SAME FACE!!! DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!!!

In a nutshell
Abel is a grappler that requires a lot of good timing to perform his links, which are crucial to his game. He has a lot of fun combos to compliment his throw game. His game primarily is based off of putting your opponent into a guessing game situation to hit you with one of his devastatingly high damaging combos. And he has one of the most broken Ultras in the game!! What a cheater!

Move Analysis

Normal Moves

Standing Short is a great poke. Use it to mostly try to gauge your distance from the opponent, as it is a very difficult move to whiff punish. The Standing Shorts, however, are mostly just a way for you to figure out when to land your Step Kick. The Step Kick will be the basis of your offense, as it sets up your main combos on hit and creates a mix-up situation on block.

Normal Throws

Abel's Normal Throws are good Throws because they blah blah blah.

Focus Attack

Abel has one of the weaker Focus Attacks in the game, as the actual Attack Phase is rather slow. The range isn't also great, so it's a very average Focus Attack. Bummer.

Special Moves

Change of Direction will be your main Bread and Butter move for combos. Landing it also allows you to FADC the first hit to connect an even more powerful combo than finishing the Change of Direction, especially if you are using Ultra I: Soulless. EX Version gets armor.

Wheel Kick is an Overhead but is very punishable if the opponent blocks it up close. If you plan on using this move, try to hit the opponent with the tip of the Wheel Kick so you won't be as easily punished.

Falling Sky is an anti-air throw move that doesn't work on grounded opponents. It's a great combo finisher after a Crouching HP and the EX version can juggle. Rock on!

Marseilles Roll is invincible to attacks. Pretend you are playing CvS2!

Super Combos

Heartless isn't as useful because you will be spending most of your meter on FADCs. However, it is easily hit confirmed off of Close Standing MP.

Ultra Combos

Ultra Combo I: Soulless - THE default Combo Ultra. If you are good at landing Change of Direction FADC into Crouching HP, pick Soulless. You won't be sorry!

Ultra Combo II: Breathless - Nicknamed "Brainless" for a reason, this Ultra has armor and can be canceled and is just really annoying to deal with if you don't know how to fight it.

The Basics

Your game will be based around the Step Kick mix-ups. On Block, you are at even in terms of Frame Advantage with your opponent. From there, Tornado Throw will beat their throw attempts and Crouching Short can catch people trying to jump away. EX Tornado Throw is excellent at beating counter pokes. Mix-ups! Mix=ups!!!

Advanced Strategy

Abel has a really good mix-up game with the Marseilles Rolls. Here are several ways to knock the opponent down with Untechable Knockdowns and the setups to have your Rolls be ambiguous as to what side you end up on depending on which Roll you choose to use:

• Setup 1: Do this, Dash once, MK goes behind, LK stays in front.
• Setup 2: Do that, Dash twice, HK goes behind, MK stays in front.
