Abigail (アビゲイル Abigeiru?) is a video game character who debuted as a boss in the beat 'em up game Final Fight, and is set to appear as a playable fighter in the Street Fighter series starting with the second season of Street Fighter V. He is a hulking brute of gargantuan proportions and former enforcer for the Mad Gear Gang.
Biography
Appearance
Abigail is an extremely large man with a Canadian leaf logo flat-top haircut. His attire closely resembles a white version of that worn by the Andore Family, but he is keen to point out that he is not one of them.[2] He usually wears facepaint, but in Mighty Final Fight, a non-canon retelling of the original Final Fight with chibi sprites, he is seen without facepaint.
His height, weight and strength even surpasses Hugo's, making him the tallest and heaviest character in the whole Street Fighter franchise so far.
In Street Fighter V, his tanktop sports skull pictures, tire track prints on his pants, and tires worn as armbands with "Mad Gear" painted on them.
Personality
Story
Early life
Final Fight
Abigail was a top lieutenant in Belger's Mad Gear Gang, in charge of the city's Bay Area. When Haggar's daughter Jessica was kidnapped by the gang, Cody and Guy took a shortcut through the Bay Area on their way to Belger's penthouse. It was there they encountered Abigail, who told them:
"Hey, cool down. She must be having a good time with Belger!"[2]
At this, Cody rushed to save Jessica from Belger's hands, leaving Guy behind to deal with Abigail. After a difficult fight Guy managed to beat Abigail.
Street Fighter V
In the Metro City Bay Area stage, he seems to own a garage called "Abigail's Scrap Metal".
Gameplay
Fighting style
Abigail uses no finesse in his fighting, just brute force. He picks up his opponents and throws them around like rag dolls, and occasionally turns red and uses running body slams. In Final Fight One, "Alpha Cody" (a non-canon unlockable character who is the Cody seen in Street Fighter Alpha 3 somehow reliving the past) notes that he hadn't been terribly impressed by Abigail, asking whether he still stuck to "using only one attack pattern".[3] In Mighty Final Fight, one of his humorous attacks is to pick up his opponents and kiss them.
Notable in his Street Fighter V gameplay is that he is more of a striker to contrast him with Hugo in order to deviate from the trend of large, hulking characters often be grapplers.
