Roll Your Way to Victory with Abel’s Resets in Ultra Street Fighter IV

Abel’s propensity for sick resets is nothing new. The French mercenary has been rolling his way to victory after popping opponents skyward with his crouching fierce for years now, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t always creative new ways for him to make his enemies’ heads spin.

When in the middle of the screen, his reset options become pretty easy to judge, as the same buttons tend to produce the same results as far as Abel’s placement at the end of his roll is concerned. But as you’ll see in this video from Anon823, the corner is an entirely different story. It seems that with something as simple as a slight delayed button press, Abel can select the side on which he will appear at the end of his roll.

Anon offers a handful of different ways to follow this reset, with varying degrees of safety depending on the sort of opponent Abel is facing or the amount of conditioning he’s managed in the set. Check out the tutorial below and see what you can pick up.

Here’s some fun news for those Skullgirls Encore players who have been patiently waiting for newcomer Beowulf. Our friends over at Lab Zero Games have confirmed that the hype-powered wrestler will be coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on April 17.

The consistent release timing is great, especially for players on Xbox 360, who generally lag behind their counterparts on other platforms. That said, those on Microsoft’s console will still need to redownload the Required Compatibility Update once Beowulf is released to make him playable.

Similar to previous character additions, Beowulf will be free to download for three months.

This patch will also contain more than a few balance changes for the game’s existing cast, so stay tuned for official word on these adjustments from Lab Zero Games.
