WTF Should I Do 07 - Abel.avi

Ok, this is a short vid, I did not focus in a counter to breathless cause against breathless your best option is to try to bait it and keeping a medium to close distance, that way if the abel player activates breathless, you can counter it with a HK FlashKick, other than that is always a guess, if you jump on reaction to breathless and the abel player set you up for that exactly, you best option is to backdash like crazy that way you may have a chance to land and backdash out of breathless, don't use sonic hurricane against it, and if you are at medium to large distance, an ex sonic boom could stop breathless in case the abel player delays it, like I said it is pretty much a guessing game.
I wanted to cover in this vid, something that could help us deal with abel forward kick (dash), that move is pretty damn good, it has priority over other normals, the dash will close the distance gap, and Abel is a lot stronger when he is close to the opponent, so I found a couple of moves that can stop it, why do I think this is more important, well, after the froward MK dash, abel can, do a normal grab, or a command grab, or a st HP into change of direction combo, several options to attack, and guile has less options to defend, specially if you didn't have a FK charged and a couple of ex bars just in case, this description is way too long, I know you got the idea, as usual, comments are greatly appreciated.

is there a reason u do the flash kick> super instead of the sonic boom> super?

[MoD1ns1d3]

@jones0787, it does more damage.

I he decides to TT you after forward, it's a wrap

[MoD1ns1d3]

@Iandakidd, I tried to see if it was possible, I've never tried in the past, cause I always ended up thrown, so I gave up on countering it a long time ago, also, only st LP and st MP worked for me, every other normal got thrown or with mixed results, I recorded it several times, just to be sure I was not day dreaming or something, the timing is tight but it can be done, and the st LP will help you for both, a TT or a st HP, but you will trade with the st HP and end up receiving more damage.

@MoD1ns1d3 Brilliant vid geom .. these r really helpful thanks. i personally think, against a good abel, guile's ultra 1 should be used rather than sonic hurricane. what do you think?

[MoD1ns1d3]

@dynamitewarrior, I came to the same conclusion after doing this vid, I still think Sonic Hurricane is the better Ultra, but against Abel, Flash Explosion is a much better choice, there are a couple of situations that slipped by when editing this video, and I wanted to try a few more things, but I was already tired, maybe I do an update in the future, there are still some things that are worth showing.

I would also like to add, after TT into jump cross up...Guile can low strong and trade out of it. This avoids the mix up guaranteed in exchange for a traded hit - taking minimal damage. Thanks for everything else, I am learning Guile and these help immensely.

You are great! Thanks for this. Looking forward to any updates. *subscribes*

Please advise how to deal with Abel's Utra 2. His Ultra 2 can pause, Abel is practically activate and wait for me to land if I jump. No way I can escape this crazy Ultra 2

[gilligan0177]

@gilligan0177 my only answer to this right now without putting a lot of thought into it is zoning, throwing an EX sonic boom or neutral jumps at random? its not easy... i guess if you see they are doing the EX grab move and are expecting it, maybe it can be blocked?

[gilligan0177]

Modinside... great video but i want to bring something up. My biggest problem with Abel is playing players that enter with a focus (absorbing my single attack) then attacking... or the EX version of the grab move (dont know the name) this absorbs one of guile's hit and then they proceed to attack. I do a lot of this with guile but needless to say only high level players will do this. Any suggestions as to how to counter this? I hope i made myself clear... take care man

[OneLoveJK]

By far my scariest matchup. This should help somewhat (though I'll still hate Abel passionately).

[Contrastique]

@AlphaQSilly The Abel costume was released by the time he posted this, but it is odd that he has the other costumes...

[mikoal]

Hey geom, good stuff, i really like this series.

I get more frustrated on his TT setups and air TT setups.

After his TT or Air TT, he can dash forward/back, then do an ambiguous roll, then follow with block, TT, or his punch punch thing. How exactly would be a safe way to get past that. im thinking flashkick would work, but if u werent using flash kicks, any solutions? thanks
