I'll ask here, a few people have asked me to go over Jealousy pressure like I did with normal mode, would people want that?

thank you so much for your recent content on aba - her overall reception is making me feel like an insane person. claims of her being a "one chance" character completely throwing off the window the fact she can uninstall/jr keygrab into so many advantageous situations for nm with gauge to spare, are really hurting the way people approach her gameplan i feel. this aba rewards both patience and moderation! feeling comfortable in nm and being willing to end jr on a switch is what brings balance to her "swingyness". id love to see some gameplay footage from you, especially in matchups vs speedy characters. its what i usually struggle the most with. thank u! great vid

I've been saying this whole time that base form ABA is actually not terrible. She's actually got a lot of solid tools for both defense and pressure

leave it to some random channel on the internet to produce the most elaborate Aba content. Beautiful series

Maybe because pressure is lacking but i totally agree that more and more people are blocking the mix. Moving towards a more jealousy maintaining playsyle maybe key no pun intended

I know this is an older video, but I hope you know you will be remembered as one of the pioneers of A.B.A. Meta. This video covers one of the most important things about her

So refreshing to see a pro guide talking about how strong nm is. Her 5h rivals Nagos, she can combo out of any confirm, and the uninstall can seriously trip with peoples mental cause they KNOW you can reinstall at any point. landing one hit in nm can kill (at that point in the round) with just some install meter.

good video! well written, clearly communicated, hell yeah

Resets are such a cool aspect of fighting games, neat idea to reset into standard pressure with mids rather than a reaction check mixup.

thank you for the video. i definitely agree. another thing im so so so glad she has pretty high health. obviously she needs it but it really feels nice. absolutely right i think tho, people will be cutting jealousy short. i started playing like that last night got into a flow...omg was so much fun. she really does feel like a puzzle. the entry is pretty high tbh to play with her, but i think people understand these options go a lil deeper. frame data could be better with parry and such...maybe even a charge that sucks health like asuka S mana charge but we'll have to see how she plays. so far tho im glad they brought her back and didnt skimp on moroha

great video thank you for the combo at 2:47 btw lol

a few things. first of all, i know you covered normal mode pressure, but i still think it's pretty weak to fd and deflect shield, hard to stay in. as for playing neutral with jealous, it's really strong, but if you get caught at all you lose your resources, which kinda sucks. there's also the fact that it's sometimes just hard to set up jealous at all in neutral if someone is keeping you in check. i feel like you'll need to swap between modes for both pressure and neutral a lot. in neutral you're gonna be swapping to jealous at like, full/three-quarter screen distance to gap close. in pressure, if you're in the corner, you'll probably wanna find a way back into normal mode to keep your pressure going longer and to not run out of gauge, maybe after looping mix a few times and going into rrc or projectile super or whatev. then you gotta keep up normal pressure until you either get a hit or eventually feel like it's time to use resources to go back into jealous and go for broke. i think a lot of when youll be pressuring or playing neutral as either stance will come down to how full the bar is anyway, but her ability to swap between them in pressure relies a lot on your burst and tension, and her ability to swap in neutral relies, frankly, on the opponent letting you. most characters have a way to bully aba at around poking distance, where aba's fastest button is like, f.s. she might need to condition the opponent to respect her 236k, 214k and 5h to get the opportunities. tho it may be hard to get anyone to respect that. another thing. i feel like leo will be incredibly tough. good midrange tools that can keep aba from going into or out of install in neutral. flash kick will waste your meter if you get caught in install and to make a lot of its pressure less scary, and if you get caught in normal mode (which relies heavily on interactive pressure with slight plus frames from keygrab, and also needs to use the very reactable 236k to stay in) you're back to square one. i also dont know how she escapes the blender. idk seems rough. idk her limited time to run offense just makes characters with good defensive tools really annoying.

"Oh, I won. Weee- Oh, I lost" sums up ABA in a nutshell.

keep up the lab work 👍

Really want to let you know that I am really really extremely glad you are looking at her amazing strengths and how you can use them to play around her weaknesses instead of assuming her weakness holds all of her strengths back. I really believe that as time passes this character will end up being really good once people develop her and realise how she's played and how to route optimally with her (I think her combo routing for example is extremely intricate and maybe even the hardest to learn out of anyone in the cast due to just how many options she has can all be optimal depending on the game state), and it's extremely refreshing seeing someone out there able to look at the character as their whole rather than "oh I'm fullscreen against hc and I can't do anything!!!!!" Keep up your good work, handshake emoji

even with jealousy gauge sub 25% I find it pretty consistent to recover with Parry or get in Haul and Heed and punishing the dodged attack

loved the last guide and this one was great too! looking forward to more A.B.A content ^^

Love the aba videos so much! I think she has a lot of potential and there is a lot of doomer talk around her. She’s also very fun in my opinion with lots of strong tools… so thanks for helping me get better with her!

Good video! Finding places to enter JR without actively combo'ing the opponent is gonna be big for sure!

love to see this stuff!! looking forward to learning what piece my kaguya is missing 😘

Nice video, cafe de touhou the GOAT

the past two vids about aba ive seen from you make me wanna pick up the character, deff got a sub from me!

Intertwine and tilt is great for movement in base form. She does have a slow dash in base form if you hold down the forward button after tapping twice. Frenzy and astonishment for gaining meter even at a distance (especially from fireballs). Bonding and dissolving has great reach. J.D leading to 2.K is great for going into B&D. Never let the meter get to zero. Always get meter back by ending jealous rage manually above roughly 30%. I think she's awesome and can come back with almost no health.

ABA vibes provokes the do or die mentality 😥

Great video

Glad to know that I have been on the right track.

another thing you can do is if you get a wallbreak you can bufer the animation of the Keeper of the Key super and press K as soon as they are sstanding, this will give you massive plus frames to either transform in/out of jelous rage and with the meter bonus you will be gaining back the meter you just used to do the super

It really sounds she "feasts" in install or "famines" in uninstall

Pls make a video where you go over combos for dmg and combos for jelousy that would be so nice

I tried playing her like this but against matchups with strong defensive options or good zoning its a struggle. Generally when you switch back the first time you are close to that 25% and if they successfully burst, YRC or DP you it is a reeeaaal struggle. FD is also really good against her normal mode pressure.

Coming from Nago I see a of the philosophy with blood management as I do with ABA. On Nago I'll often go for combos that give high blood return over damage because I want options after wallbreak. It seems like the same is true for ABA; more options keeps your opponent guessing than if you rage every chance you get and run at them, forcing a mix.

I reallly liked the video! She’s still feast or famine though imo, much more so than any other character. Maintaining a state where you’re conserving JR and still getting oki is crucial and something that is constantly in development, especially thanks to the likes of you! But sometimes you’ll just get unlucky, getting bursted, YRC or simply read and outplayed in JR, and suddenly you are full screen away without meter. It’s just part of her core design. This however does not mean she’s unviable. Minimizing her clear weaknesses and maximizing her strengths are what makes her so fun to play.

This is what ive been saying, people are HARD sleeping on install/uninstall on knockdown. I honestly think it's the main reason people are calling her bad atm. Once you start throwing install into your pressure, you almost never run out of meter

Man I'm ngl, been trying the keygrab oki after rage mode rekka, and it's super inconsistent and risky. If you miss time it you can just get blown up

Character is omegabroken so like it doesnt even matter what you do, that is just pointless, she will win by herself

Can you do one about whats the missing piece of Johnny on this game? I rlly like him, and i'm currently trying to main him. New subscriber btw

I think people are really sleeping on 2p key grab

Have you joinrf the Stive community discord server? We have a ABA channel where we discuss tech and stuff

FOR THE LAST TIME *IT'S NOT A DP*

Much dooming from content creator and community , fuming about some prenerf conspiracy because wooo happy chaos how dare them ! Aba used to be a very obscure dedicated character , arc did a solid job transfer it to a more *general public* acceptable version and they are not appreciating 😅

She's clearly played incorrectly by the pick up and play streamers like Diaphone and Sajam. Their goal is views and to try her out, they don't want to main her. Let's dissuade all the non A.B.A. mains. 😂

"A.B.A. isn't a feast or famine character if you play her right" (immediately describes a feast or famine playstyle) You have great delivery but your thesis in this video is wildly off-base. You literally talk about finishing with uninstall, rip footage from Sajam directly, and then don't use any of the footage of him using Keygrab to break the wall, which is A.B.A.'s best option for recovering from or entering install. And on top of that you talk about Super wallbreak without clarifying which one you mean, when Law is Key leaves you at midscreen, uninstalled and with zero bar if you use it to wallbreak when installed, which is like shooting your own kneecaps.

Can you just say jealousy instead of install?

Yeah, but yrc and burst exist and make this character irrelevant, so...yeah....

Can I get the source for the music I can totally tell it's touhou 🥹
