Introduction
About Abigail
First appearing in Final Fight as one of the bosses of the Mad Gear Gang, Abigail has left his life of crime behind to run a small garage in Metro City named "Abigail's Scrap Metal" as a law-abiding citizen. The two Ken's tall Canadian is also currently working with several former gang members including J, Axl, and Roxy. The former Final Fight protags seem less than interested in letting him be, however...
With some of the slowest walk speed, slowest dash, and slowest buttons in the game Abigail is not for players looking for an agile character. Because of this and his only armored move beginning on frame 3, being forced to play defensively as Abigail can be frustrating. To make up for this, however, Abigail also has one of the highest health, some of the largest ranged buttons, and some of the largest damage output. One stray crush counter 2HP or 5HP with V-Trigger can easily do 60-70% damage, and it's never safe for the opponent to assume they have a life lead against him. While he's similar to Zangief in the walk them down grappler mindset, one important difference is while he has a command grab it is not nearly as scary as Gief and is not a great choice if you want to "churn butter". However, if you love to put fear into your opponent, are comfortable with slow and deliberate play, and giggle at the sight of an opponent's health bar melting away, Abigail is a great pick.
