Capcom has announced that Street Fighter V will be adding some new costumes to the game later this month, which will coincide with the series’ 30th anniversary. The costumes will be available on August 29th, and will cost $3.99 each. The characters that will have new costumes are M. Bison, Guile, Ibuki and Karin, which you can see through the previous link.
Last month the game added Abigail from Final Fight to its roster, who was accompanied by a new level called Metro City Bay Area. The following is a breakdown of Abigail:
■ Abigail’s V-Skills and Critical Art
V-Skill: Hungabee
Abigail thrusts his sizeable belly forwards (either high or low) countering the opponent’s attack and setting himself up for a combo opportunity.
V-Trigger: Max Power
After popping his two-bar V-Trigger, Abigail can charge up his four different heavy punches for one hit of armour and extended juggles. A full charge will break the opponent’s guard.
Critical Art: Abigail Special
Abigail slams his opponent with a downward open-palm strike that puts them into a daze. He then hoists them into the air, pummels them like a makeshift speedbag before launching a savage hook that shatters the screen.
■ Abigail’s Nitro Charge
As the largest character in the game, you’d expect Abigail to be all about the command grabs. He has two, as it happens, but what makes him stand out is his Nitro Charge run. This special move has one hit of armour (two for EX!) and can be cancelled into four follow-ups – a stiff punch, command grab, cumbersome overhead or V-Skill. Suffice to say, Abigail isn’t a one-trick-pony, he’s a horse-power-house.
■ Abigail’s Costumes
Also arriving alongside Abigail are his Story and Premium Battle costumes, as well as his own personal stage, the Metro City Bay Area. Fight on this stage long enough and you might see the iconic sunrise that fans will remember from back in Abigail’s Final Fight days.
Street Fighter V is available for PlayStation 4 and PC.
