I think you should make a “fighting game gold” version of these videos, where you’d look at characters that were done perfectly right, or you just like them!

8:58 "Which, Guess What Dipshit?" I have never heard Dipshit delivered so hard in the context of grapplers Instant Sub

never played sf4 but when i heard "they made it a close normal" i physically repulsed

Abel may have been boring to look at but he was always interesting in his playstyle

I'll never get used to how abruptly these videos end.

1:03 free corner carry at the cost of four bars 😂

Ables fighting style was so cool looking! Like a mix between strike and grapple

Abel is easily my favorite grappler, so seeing this is really painful. Just completely removes what makes him such a cool character in favor of turning him into a much more generic one.

Wanted to say I found your channel through the smash vids, and as someone who barely knows anything about other fighting games it's been interesting to learn about stuff from these other games. I think it's a good format that balances being interesting and down to earth enough a casual (such as myself for SF) can enjoy it, while still being in-depth enough that hardcore players of each game would enjoy it (I really enjoyed your Melee vids and even learned some new stuff).

I learned about Omega via Bafael's Omega series, and in all of them (he did about like 15 or so characters), all existing special moves were intact (some were modified, but they were still there, and generally had the same function). All new specials were in addition to the existing kit. Abel is the only Omega character I know of who lost special moves completely, and it’s a complete downgrade. As an aside, I wish Omega was more prevalent. The only real use was testing stuff for SFV, and it's kinda sad. If T. Hawk comes back in a future game, he's not going to have his cool Omega stuff, for example (I know his moves were prototypes for Necalli, but still, he was much better in Omega).

You ever dabble in Omega oni? His EX air dash is so cool and really should have been implemented in the standard game.

Shit, and I didn't even know Omega T.Hawk had that jank ranged ground projectile(?) thing. Hell, i'd be fascinated with a whole different spin-off series just describing Omega Mode characters at length. They feel so underrepresented online as far as in-depth analysis like this video. At least from what i've seen. If only we could use these styles in Arcade Mode... then i'd actually get a chance to actually play around with this stuff. Someone needs to mod that in, i'm serious.

The way you edit and comment your videos reminds me of Bafael, and the quality of your analysis and commentary is fantastic! Loving these videos, and i hope to see more about some unknown franchises (rival schools and project justice PLEASE)

I have an addiction to these videos And the only cure is more of these videos Don't let me suffer in withdrawal Yellow

Step kick is my favorite thing about Abel. It's such a cool part of his gameplay. The fact that they made it a close normal is dumbfounding.

Is noone gonna talk abt the bars at 11:13

Omega Abel feels like a big inspiration for Laura in sfv

Rekkas are one of my favorite things in fighting games, and the idea of turning them in command normals activates my fight or flight response..Why would they do that?

It’s not that Omega Hugo or Abel are bad characters (well maybe they are lol) but more that they’re just not the same character.

I love how we still study Street Fighter 4 despite being out for years now.

11:13-11:16 Holy alliteration, Large pigment of color.

I love your channel dude. Discovered it yesterday and I'm already a big fan! Just one small issue; pleaseeeeeeee upload your videos at a higher volume! You're so so quiet and it's really annoying to turn down my game and other stuff so I can turn up my headphones to hear you. Much love, keep it up!

My homie used to abuse the roll until I started command grab butt slamming him with honda

I have a couple suggestions for future episodes Roll in Marvel vs Capcom 1 Ganondorf in Super Smash Bros. Brawl Bruce in Tekken 5 : Dark Retribution Ryu in Marvel vs Capcom Infinite Anakris in Darkstalkers 3

What they did to this guy was a war crime

If you're ever lookin for suggestions, I'm always gonna suggest UMvC3 Hsien-ko

>changed character defining things for absolutely no reason and made up for it with things people didn't want >was the blueprint for SF5 Really makes you think

I'd too see a video on Brawl Ganondorf or the Fighting Alloys in said game.

It would be cool to have a side serie reviewing every omega version of the characters there is some interesting Stuff that I think its not that documented

been loving your videos, hopefully you enjoy making them cuz they are very entertaining to watch.

While I enjoy this review of the character I think it's important to remember than Omega Mode was a developer playground to test out ideas and concepts for the next game in the franchise. Abel's moves were altered so drastically to try and find a new concept for someone to use in SFV.

What's crazy that despite all the changes Capcom did to Abel in omega he's still turn out to be easily a top 10 character hugely underrated.

Big Yellow talking about the fellow Abel who sat on the table and turned into the fable that was USF4 Abel

That word play at the end was beautiful.

Hey I just started watching your recent fighting game videos. I feel like your channel is about to blow up

For Fighting games Gold, i would recomend Zero (mega Man series) Game? Anyone, he's a beast in every single fighting game with him playable

The added moves in omega look so clunky and fanmade. Red focus seems like a fanmade addition too.

At 0:23 you say you forgot to mention quickstanding all throws in the Hugo video, but at 8:01 in the Hugo video you do bring it up. Not to sound whiny, I just watched the Hugo vid and felt like I remembered it.

“Guess what dipshit?” Just subbed for that. I’m dead rn lol

As a person who Love's Abel as a playable character and even his own personality, I think that Abel really missed out by being put in SF4. I think he would've been great in SF3. The focus on Neutral game would've helped him a lot and the 50/50s would've made him King.

These videos are so quality keep up the great work

1:27 I am once again here to point out editing errors Jokes aside, I really enjoy this series. Keep up the great content!

Abel was my favorite character to play in this game. Not this specific edition of 4 though. *Isawthat Isawthat Isawthat* n i c e t r y.

Really cool series! PD: you put a wrong video in the playlist of FG Garbage lol

Wait, what happened to the mentioned Hugo video? I can't seem to find it anymore

Now as far Omega Mode goes...some characters shined! Especially Blanka! But in this video we got to hear you spit some hot bars!

I like the Grappling move because they are just throws without the crazy spinning and crashing. They almost feel like extra normal throws which is cool.

Alright you got me. That rhyme at the end? Gotta subscribe now.

I love when you make these videos! Due to Guilty Gear Strive being released I think Potemkin should be given a look in Guilty Gear Revelator 2...as a Potemkin main in most Gg games...I feel Potemkin was bad in Revelator but was worst in Revelator 2.

It's be interesting to see an SFV low-tier like Gill or Nash, just to show off how well-balanced it is compared to the other entries. That is, if you can really find much to say about it... Can't imagine "it's not bad, it's just not *as* good as what other characters have" over and over would be up to your standards!

Abel or Not, here he Comes!!

Nerfed so hard that half of his moves are gone. Like removing the character from the game, LOL! Great video!

yes, you are definitely able to lay out on the table the stable fable of Abel's disable

the thing i like about Omega Hugo is he feels like Broly from dragon ball z… his fully invincible uppercut is just him reaching one arm up… fullycharge a medium punch, and you get hurt 70 damage just by the _WIND_ he pushes by whiffing it…. omega abel always felt like a weird mistake. something u didnt even cover in this video: HE STILL HAS HIS TORNADO THROW!!!! why does he even need to replace his hi/low rekka with 4 command grabs if he already has an iconic one?????

they made abel more like marduk in tekken, which makes more sense in grappling terms. a long range grapple promotes shutting off enemy button presses with footsies and removes the annoying stepkick situation that required the defensive player to stuff the tornado throw with a frame perfect 3f normal. i get it, it was his identity but man was it inconsistent and hard to defend against. step kick should've always been a whiff punish normal, not just get pressure for free card.

I never messed around with omega so the more omega stuff that comes out the better

Look at how they massacred my boy

Thanks for reminding me how hype this song is

3:10 frame perfect indeed,just try his 24th trial

I really hated how Change of Direction was messed up: Abel's fighting style is based on Russian Sambo, which mixes strikes and throws altogether with great fluidity.

But Abel's theme tho 👀

Crouch fierce >> roll > falling sky = oh hey look one stock of meter!

I love Abel really wanted him playable in v

I'm liking this simply cause the rhyme near the end.

Can you do the various non player characters in Smash games, like Smash Melee's Wireframes, Smash Brawl's Alloys, or the Fighting Polygon Team from Smash 64?

These videos are so good!

With the return of the King Potemkin in Strive It would be good for people to hear how fucking trash he was in all of Xrd.

I am certain you actually did mention Omega Mode allowing quick stand after all throws somewhere around the middle of your Omega Hugo video. I am only certain because I watched that like a week ago and am also certain that I didn't know it beforehand, having never touched the last _SF4_ iteration in any capacity. Still, better safe than sorry to mention it again in this video. Speaking of things I never knew, I was unaware you could link s.HP after Abel's Step Kick. Huh. I despise 1-frame links for the most part, but it's good to know, and it helped further illustrate how screwing with Step Kick in Omega Mode is what ultimately screws over Omega Abel so much. Funny how a single command normal can make or break a character. Having looked at other comments here, gods, I can't imagine Omega Zangief being *even worse.* Sadly, it is on brand for Capcom to more or less murder that poor man while pretending he still exists in a game's code though. At least Omega Abel got one of those neat, rare anti-crouch throws for his suffering. I doubt Omega Gief got anything interesting beyond the seeming nod to his _EX_ series self. Sigh.

Would love to see you make a video about Omega Gen and Makoto [the worst characters in Omega, IMO]. REALLY good video though, Omega is super cool.

2:28 so this is where that voice line came from

Honestly, these should have been the changes Omega Abel got: - Abel's change of direction is now an ACTUAL REKKA (meaning that you have to input QCF+P/K for the additional mids/lows, but the first hit would still be QCF+P) - All versions of Abel's command grab just have throw invincibility, while the damage is slightly decreased - Abel gets his tackle special, but it's DP+K so that way it doesn't conflict with his roll, and the EX version cancels to ultra 1 - Abel's wheel kicks are overheads (like in omega) and they are safe on block

hey im sorry for dumb questions, but what's the music in the background? it sounds sick

The only good thing about omega Abel is animation of a new throw where he grabs opponent by the shins and flips them. It's funny.

Where's the Omega Hugo vid

EX Tackle not comboing into Ultra is so lame :C

11:11 Rap God.

I’ve watched this video like 3 times, both because it’s a very good video and because it’s been feeling pretty topical given something similar has happened in the recent Anji changes for Strive

So pretty much all grapplers but hawk and honda got fucking destroyed

christ hugo’s idle stance makes me so uncomfortable

Are you considering talking about the marvel vs capcom series?

This might be a bit if a controversial statement, but Abel is one of if not the most visually unappealing character I've ever seen.

for some reason they gave abel a charge move in sfxt.... the startup was shit for some god damned reason

I don't know wtf Omega characters do, because there's no f*cking command list in-game, as far as I'm aware

6:24 honestly I think it might ge a fair bit better because Sean had to commit no matter what with his tackle. Abel gets more options with less committal options.

I didn't play sf back in the day so I haven't seen abel this is my first time really seeing him

Abel Command grab was the most annoying thing with online SFIV

You gonna be big man

Can't you pick which version of Abel to play? Instead of playing Omega Abel you could just play Ultra Abel instead since it seems you can pick between different versions

I think in FGG you can also talk about OP character or game Breaking mechanics like Wobbling or Brawl Metaknight or other thing that aren't bad but are just too op and ruins the meta of their respectives game

Yeah at first I thought it was neat changes to Abel at first but then it's AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

You mentioned that you can't quickstand Omega Hugo's SPD, which is technically true, but only because they essentially made it auto-quickstand (the knockdown time is way shorter by default). If you could rise any faster it would practically be unsafe on hit lol. Here's some Omega Abel stuff that wasn't touched on or was slightly off: - Close MK is -5 on block, and -6 if dash cancelled, so he doesn't actually get to push a mixup; he just dies for using it outside of punishes. His dash is incredibly fast though so you might get away with it. Actually I think his dash speed is a big part of why they made him the way he is, he can just appear in your face like 3S Ken. - Tornado Throw had some changes, the EX version is both strike/throw invuln but the regular version has no invuln at all, so that took away one of his more unique defensive attributes (probably still a buff overall though imo). - Tackles are actually -4/-3/-2 for LK/MK/HK uncharged versions. He can build meter quickly by doing tackle + feint repeatedly from long range, so he can kinda force the opponent to approach to stop him from getting a ton of meter (or bait them into throwing a fireball, then punish with Ultra). He also has a glitch where if you input Feint too early, he freezes until he gets hit. - His Super got massively buffed, it does 85 more damage and is 0 on block with insanely fast whiff recovery. But you probably won't see it very often since EX Tackle is so important for his gameplan. - The reason his Close LP target combo doesn't always work is that the proximity range for it to activate is very short, and some characters collision boxes will push you too far away. - He got a new air command normal with Down+HP, it's by far his strongest jumpin but his jumps are still mediocre overall.

Uh oh... Stinky Able...

Since they managed to hand out all these nerfs so well, why was the Genfinity a thing?

So what is Omega and how do I get it? Or is an auto update?

What was the point of getting rid of the reka?

Oh... oh no... why did they change a midrange grapple character into a semi rushdown character

I think the only good thing about Omega Abel is his Raiden Bomb style move.

can somebody explain why the change of the direction change sucks? he still has the moves as command normals and just gained an extra move? Im not great at SF so maybe im missing something

Will we be seeing Omega Zangief?

I don't know why it bothers me so much but I really can't stand watching supposedly solid bodies become all intangible when they're near each other. I have no idea how they can fix that, in games in general, but I wish they would. I can't even use Urien's Donovan skin in SFV, even though I love it in game, because his victory screen has his beads mesh with his head and neck. It's horrifying. It seems to have been worse in SFIV and that might be part of the reason why the game wasn't aesthetically pleasing to me. Never thought about it until now because it was all I was noticing in this video.
