Recently, VesperArcade posted a breakdown of Abigail’s basic normals and Target Combos, based off of the footage of him we’ve seen from the recent Winner Stays On stream. Now, with the eve of his Street Fighter V release upon us, Vesper has made a second video looking at the Mad Gear lieutenant’s specials and Variable System abilities.
First off, Vesper notes that his armored command run, Nitro Charge, can be followed-up with the punch, kick or throw of your choice, as well as his V-Skill. You can also cancel Nitro Charge before Abigail starts running across the screen by holding back for a backwards roll, though this requires a commitment to the action. With a myriad of tools to destroy or bypass projectiles, as well as a variety of command throws, several armored specials, a high and low counter V-Skill, and even the ability to OTG juggle foes with EX Giant Flip — should they fail to quick rise — Abigail could prove quite the opposing challenge for those who face him. His V-Trigger — Max Power — also appears to be very versatile, especially with it only being 2 bars. Catch the video below for Vesper’s full breakdown and thoughts on Mad Gear’s gear-head.
Abigail will be released tomorrow — July 25th — and is naturally included in the Season 2 Character Pass, along with his Battle Costume.
