Alright, Abigail’s out and it’s time to get behind the wheel; but what sort of destruction can the Mad Gear gear-head bring to Street Fighter V? The goofy grappler is earning a warm reception as players begin to develop devastating 100% stun combos and dangerous setups for Season 2’s newest character.
We now know those giant arms aren’t just for show, as a Crush Counter fierce can spell absolute disaster with Abigail’s V-Trigger, Max Power. Activating VT after a raw Crush Counter can actually give Abigail enough time to jump in and continue a combo.

With Max Power already activated, a combo from Abigail’s charged fierce punch can do more than 950 stun in a punish situation.

Speaking of charged fierce punch, at maximum charge it breaks guard, leading to some dirty setups like this one:
