I see so many dudes in the FGC say how they miss old games like if they don't exist anymore. Yet here is SMUG giving us top tier SF4 content in 2023. Love these vids, keep it up.
I know right. Many people still play Street Fighter IV even on PS3, and many play Third Strike on FightCade. The games still exist, you just have to look in the right places to find players.
@@woweezowee9000 Well, I think he just keeps getting command grabbed by Manon. Even if SF6 was universally loved, fans of the old games wouldn't just decide 3rd Strike or SF4 no longer hold up. It's an objectively false opinion.
@@blackmanta2527 oh, that's true. Manon fell off so hard but Abel didn't need no gold medals, hands is all he has and hands is all he needs. and step kick, of course
i've played this Mirth before on steam. They def wait till it's busy at Mcdonald's, use their wifi & get on ranked. Then when you adapt..they kick the router, switch to Burger King wifi mid set& put the router on the fridge, so it gets warm.
I remember 801 Strider's Abel striking fear in the heart of Daigo. Also, USF4 wasn't given enough time. We didn't need Omega, just 1-2 more years. That would've given SFV a little time to be slightly better at launch. Oh well, it had to be this way.
Of course they have a lot in common, they're the same character. Manon has the same Fighting style as Abel, she came to take his spot. Abel was supposed to be the new face of Street Fighter but now they shifted towards Luke so they don't need Abel anymore. This character will never return, Manon made sure of that.
@@michaelvasquez5382 the only new character i like is marisa. i do wish Thawk and abel come back though, i still feel like abel is unique enough to come back although i'd absolutely give him a couple counter throws.
They were both so much cooler characters to add, instead we get a woman more Man than Woman, and a child in booty shorts....yippee...I only liked Abel and was likely indifferent to T Hawk but I'd much prefer him over the corny child they replaced him with.
There is a number of old chars im very curious to see in SF6, some of them not exactly because i love them but because i'd like to see what they could do under the rules of parry, drive rush, multiple supers, more juggles, more wall bouncing, ground bouncing, etc... And moveset changes of course, as every returning char changed a least a little bit. And Abel is surely in my list.
@@TiredAsl Anything after USF4 is completely garbage. I understand that you're a casual player and I understand that street fighter 5(which is completely the worst SF within the series) is your first fighting game, but you would have to play the other street fighter games to understand why a lot of people still play USF4. The only reason why Capcom let SF6 on all the consoles is because they are trying to get as much sales as possible.
@@skipfuego6339what’s your CFN so I can fight you on Sf 6 I need to see why your hating so hard …. However I do agree with Sf 5 being the worse of the entire series
Even with an OP character the game is still better than anything else on the market these days. Just played Halo Reach and that's better than any FPS out today too. Old games really are the best honestly. For real. Modern gaming just has way too many problems that older games didn't have
I still think SF4 is the best gaming game and I don't mean to say anything about SF6, but I think SF4 moves and different quirks and techniques for different players. But in SF6, if you hide the player's name, you can't tell who's who and everyone seems to be doing the same moves in one pattern. What do you guys think?
For me the best SF ever, very difficult to learn but once you understand the mechanics the game gives you so many options, lots of great characters and levels and no modern controls that have total frame problems
The only reason I ever played Abel was to unlock Fei-Long back in SF4 vanilla, never touched this character ever since, not in SSF4 and certainly not in USF4.
even back when i SFIV released on the 360 and i didn't have online Arcade CPU Abel still kicked my 9yo ass 😭 i swear no one else in the entire roster gave me any kind of trouble but him
I love how capcom is damn unaware of the real fighting world when it comes to French athletes, they keep on seeing them as Judo practitioners (Abel, Manon) because France has a lot of Judo Olympic gold medalist, but that doesn't mean they only do this combat sport. There is a fighting sport that comes from that country called Savate and is pretty close to kickboxing. France has almost as many titles in international karate competition than Japan. And as far as I know, Jerome Lebaner wasn't a ballet judo player, but is seen as one of the best K1/UFC athlete (the old version of it), on par with Mirco and recently Gane, Fiorot, Saint-Denis, Fairn, Charrière, Gomis are top combattants in UFC ... so why the damn gimmick, Capcom; being a bit sour that France beat you most of the time in a Japanese originated combat style?
give manon step kick, give manon step kick give manon step kick, give manon step kick give manon step kick, give manon step kick give manon step kick, give manon step kick

If the new games were good people wouldn't want to play the old one
@@usernameluis305there are always gnna be people who want to play old games, what do u mean lol

they don't miss the old games, they miss the old meta.
Abel was taking bad mamma jammas to the Parisian alleyways before Manon did, the way they both rob your games and your money matches
yeah man I dig that and I'm really enjoying smugs game 🎮 play!
Able is a way more viable though 😂
@@blackmanta2527 oh, that's true.
Manon fell off so hard but Abel didn't need no gold medals, hands is all he has and hands is all he needs. and step kick, of course
I want Manon to grab me, Abel not so much..
i've played this Mirth before on steam. They def wait till it's busy at Mcdonald's, use their wifi & get on ranked. Then when you adapt..they kick the router, switch to Burger King wifi mid set& put the router on the fridge, so it gets warm.
💀💀💀
naaahhh not the router on the fridge 😭😭😭
Yeah I feel this.
Fighting Abel was fucking pain
Me as a newcomer to street fighter who had to fight a top 10 Abel while learning the game, true pain
made 801 a legit problem 😂
2:29 I love voice actors when they just scream
Yes Abel is in fact Manon’s long lost brother 😂😂😂
duff city himself still having the character-specific combos....love to see it. this game rocks
Aw man I miss this robbery character...
I miss this game at its peak in the FGC
That punish as 4:27 was so damn nasty I had to take a shower immediately! Wiggedy Washed!
I said the same thing out loud ..... just sick
God SF4 is always a treat to watch.

Man Capcom HAS to put Dr Diddles in SF6. I wanna see him in the game even if I don't play him.
Brazil's Keoma went from maining Abel in 4 straight to Manon in 6, they have a lot in common.
And please, Capcom, bring Dudley back for 6, I beg you!
@@Iori-gq5bo No they don't, I personally want them too, but no they don't HAVE TO return.

@@Iori-gq5bo and Hakan
@@Iori-gq5bobut Abel is already in, tough I Agree with Dudley and Makoto
No they don't ,the most similar character to Abel Is Marisa ,I live both charachters
As an akuma player i didnt have too much trouble , but 2 combos/ mix ups off abel and it was game over
Abel was super fun to play as but playing against him SUUUUUCKS. Manon wishes she was as oppressive as Abel
dude had straight up infinites as well as ridiculously easy throw setups, nightmare character
So does Alex.
Can you imagine Abel being in 6? The guy would be a nightmare in the right hands.
Replacing Abel and T Hawk was a waste. I can understand Fang being replaced.
Exactly how i feel, i dont hate the new characters i just really liked abel and t hawk tho
Abel could totally return to me, but not T Hawk... unless he gets a severe moveset expansion and cool redesign, the Dee Jay treatment.
True, and both were my mains too
@@michaelvasquez5382 the only new character i like is marisa. i do wish Thawk and abel come back though, i still feel like abel is unique enough to come back although i'd absolutely give him a couple counter throws.

Abel is what people think all grapplers are
I miss Abel so much. I wish they'd put him in SF6 so people could lose their minds over another grappler lol

Manon is literally next Gen Abel
@@g0ddish434 where's her rekka that ends in a throw because that's what I miss about him most specifically
@@carcosa_swampThat part. They’re both French and grapplers, the similarities end there
Every time I see able I just think how god-like 801 stryders able was this game is still top tier
Abel is a true beast. Manon too.
Dope to see new SF4 content. I love that game.
SF4 looks so snappy
the SHK reaction into EX MGB was immensly satisfying
Especially on Abel😂
shit is busted man. but dudley needs that tbh.
When I saw Manon, my first thought was, "Female Abel?"
I like Abel way more, though.
why did I never clock she was female Abel lmao u so right
Uh what!!! Let’s go and that Abel is solid AF. Crazy this game is still popular. So epic
Dear God who are in Heaven, please bless Smug for uploading USF, he was a good lad for it.
Thank you and you're welcome.
I love watching smug play usf4, but why use G**’s name like that!? You are wrong for this.
@@GOD1SF1RST using gods name to bless someone?
@PinkLighterFan...No, I do not think he is done with ( yawn ) sf6. He just wanted to take a break from easy mode....so he went back to USF4. 😎
I never had too much trouble with Abel, but I played grapplers xd
Gouken and Akuma were actual nightmares though LOL
We need Abel in SF6
I love how people still play my favorite street fighter game to this day. I used to play this when i was younger on the PS3.
Sheeeeesh the spacing at 4:32 was godlike. I’ll buy him some turkey neck bones if I ever see smug for that one.
game still gives me ptsd all these years later, i about flipped this computer when i saw them points go down at the end of the match
4:25 that whiff punish St.HK into EX machine-gun blow was nasty. If I got hit by that i would have to rethink my life at that point.
I swear I saw “SF6 Abel”😂
This set,was DEFINITELY a challenge!GG's with the greatest of ease,Smug!
I dont usually do this, but, first?
No way.
Great video as always. Still love SFIV.
Hey smug, abels Ex throw is throw invincible lol. It literally beats gief ultra 1 lol
Imagine SF4 with rollback. I think many people would go back, even if its just for a week or two. It's a really good game
A week or two? They will go back to SF4 in a heartbeat. SF6 is garbage 🗑️
@@skipfuego6339Im a casual player n shit but sf6 is pretty good, I actually enjoyed it not like sf5 which was my first fighting game like a year ago

801 Strider was a beast with Able

The fact you said halo you lost. Halo is not the best shooter out here
@@siftknife761 Don't care. It is. Or was
Real one's remember Juicebox poppin off with the Jutsu every time he landed an Ultra 😂
Loved Abel in Sf4. Used to frustrate the hell out of my friends 😂😂
Good game man 😎
The outro is so cool 😎
I love abel and dudley the most
If Dudley returns in SF6, it's over! Smug will be the ritchest man alive 😂
Mena would be the best Dud player lol
i knew that, du HuuuuuddE!

Just pretend you won’t get command grabbed, Smug 😏
Smug loves his fisticuffs characters....if Ed ends up being one I can definitely see him playing him😂
wake up babe smug upload
I'm up
Abel has so much swag.
Smug you’re a Beast!
Thank you for still making videos about SF4!!
For me the best SF ever, very difficult to learn but once you understand the mechanics the game gives you so many options, lots of great characters and levels and no modern controls that have total frame problems
This man be command grabbing with G stop the cap Smug XD! 😂
yeah bruh there was an abel killer in HEY akihabara that was fuckin EVERYONE up all night on sf4, shit was cash
Nah that perfect was crazy too sheesshhh 7:00
Still the best SF till this day
Goated 🔥
3S 4L
Alex beginnings - they should had made another series continuing Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact - Giant Attack
A set between my 2 SF4 mains, I love it.
4:27 awww hell nah 💀, bro got checked real hard 💀
Still more fair than Laura
4:20 😱 OMGGG🔥🔥
4:27 that was a sick confirm
Love me some Dudley. He better come back in SF6
Abel is so rad.
Oh, god... I hate Ultras and invincible backdashes with a fiery passion...
I do not miss that netcode.
Abel may be able to rob you but when the character is robbed of pretty much any good crouching combo he kinda needs it
Actin' like you won't be commaaaaad graaabeeeed 😅
Omfg smug…. The nuetch footsies 4:30 was nasty.
The only reason I ever played Abel was to unlock Fei-Long back in SF4 vanilla, never touched this character ever since, not in SSF4 and certainly not in USF4.
I joined the military right around the time sf 4 came out. I never really got to play the game but it looks so clean!
4:05 sleeper cell got activated
there's a small part of me that misses playing as ABEL
dudley has drive rush in this game when no one else does LMAO
even back when i SFIV released on the 360 and i didn't have online Arcade CPU Abel still kicked my 9yo ass 😭 i swear no one else in the entire roster gave me any kind of trouble but him
ROBBERY CHARACTER LMFAO IM ROLLING RN
Abel was a cool dude tho
I hear so many people say they miss him and I'm just like "no you don't" lmfao
You did if you played him 😂
those games were intense 🔥🔥🔥🔥
18:35 Hawaiianshirtman vibes 😂
Where it all started 2012 will always be the best year of gaming😮💨
subscribed. and i love Abel so im sorry he gave yall ptsd haha
Playing Abel: 🤭
Fighting Abel: 😓😡🤬🤬🤬🤬
thank you smug for still playing legend usf4
9:34 Smug was MASHING that jab like a mad man!
You have to mash that jab on Abel
Abel cooked my ass so bad I quit fighting games for 2 years

Oh how I loved SF4
This still my favorite street fight.
Sf4 is probably one of the best fighting games to ever come out
Don't jump 😈
