SOA Team Explores Options for Fighting Abel in Ultra Street Fighter IV

If you’ve been having problems dealing with the Abel matchup in Ultra Street Fighter IV, this breakdown from SOA Team will equip you with the tools necessary to make the match much more bearable.

As an example of the tactics offered in the video, take into consideration that Abel’s step kick affords him excellent positioning and helps him keep the pressure high with a handful of options that can follow it up, the best being throw, Tornado Throw, or a standing fierce. What may not be as well-known to those fighting against Abel is that this situation can easily be escaped by most of the cast through a simple back dash, which then allows plenty of time for a beefy punish.

For more information surrounding the above strategy, as well as loads more tactics to help take down the grappler, check out the video below.
