I'm Going To Make Abel Vids

Hey guys just wanted to let you know that since i have a console, and once i get my stick modded and working i will be making some videos. I have planned to make Abel videos for quite awhile now (since December). These videos are not going to be anything super fancy, they are just going to be short(maybe long) videos of tips and tricks you can use. I will keep you guys updated. Also remember that document i made for Abel's normals? I am deciding whether i want to make it a video now but that is undecided. Hopefully I will get my stick soon so I can start on this video thing I have been wanting to do. Let me know what you guys think! Also if you have any suggestions or anything post it and I will do my best to fulfill it.

Abel Infinite!

I wanted to post this a long time ago but kept forgetting but Abel has an infinite against chun li and rufus! they are both slightly different but the one against chun li is (close)st.lp xx cr.lp (far)st.lp x 2 f+mk dash and repeat. The one against rufus is (close)st.lp xx cr.lk, cr.lp, (far)st.lp f+mk dash and repeat. Here is a video from youtube showing the infinite.



I think that this infinite is good. People may disagree but hey an infinite is an infinite. I say its good because you can start it off of f+mk dash and i would say that the f+mk dash is one of abel's best tools. i mean since you can do it off of that it seems like a great tool against chun and rufus. Sure the damage sucks but its free damage and during it you can mix it up from there.

Street Fighter Bar Fights Just Ended...

What can i say about bar fights? everything about it was awesome. so many players came out, new and old and it was a blast. i got to meet a ton of players, i got to hang out with my favorite street fighter buds and really if you didn't go you missed out. all i can tell you is don't miss the next one! great games played, awesome matches, a HUGE turnout too. good shit to Gootecks for running this. i didn't expect so many players to come out and who would've though there would ever be a line to watch sf4? that place was packed but it was awesome.

Before i forget, Denjin is having another ranbat (ranking battle) this saturday 4/11. The more players the better. i hope we get more and more players each time. The first ranbat was a huge success but lets beat that and get more players! come support team SBO and play in the tournaments! here is a link for more info. http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=184653
