The Piece Your ABA is Missing

I'll ask here, a few people have asked me to go over Jealousy pressure like I did with normal mode, would people want that?

thank you so much for your recent content on aba - her overall reception is making me feel like an insane person. claims of her being a "one chance" character completely throwing off the window the fact she can uninstall/jr keygrab into so many advantageous situations for nm with gauge to spare, are really hurting the way people approach her gameplan i feel. this aba rewards both patience and moderation! feeling comfortable in nm and being willing to end jr on a switch is what brings balance to her "swingyness". id love to see some gameplay footage from you, especially in matchups vs speedy characters. its what i usually struggle the most with. thank u! great vid

I've been saying this whole time that base form ABA is actually not terrible. She's actually got a lot of solid tools for both defense and pressure

leave it to some random channel on the internet to produce the most elaborate Aba content. Beautiful series

Maybe because pressure is lacking but i totally agree that more and more people are blocking the mix. Moving towards a more jealousy maintaining playsyle maybe key no pun intended

I know this is an older video, but I hope you know you will be remembered as one of the pioneers of A.B.A. Meta. This video covers one of the most important things about her

good video! well written, clearly communicated, hell yeah

Resets are such a cool aspect of fighting games, neat idea to reset into standard pressure with mids rather than a reaction check mixup.

So refreshing to see a pro guide talking about how strong nm is. Her 5h rivals Nagos, she can combo out of any confirm, and the uninstall can seriously trip with peoples mental cause they KNOW you can reinstall at any point. landing one hit in nm can kill (at that point in the round) with just some install meter.

thank you for the video. i definitely agree. another thing im so so so glad she has pretty high health. obviously she needs it but it really feels nice. absolutely right i think tho, people will be cutting jealousy short. i started playing like that last night got into a flow...omg was so much fun. she really does feel like a puzzle. the entry is pretty high tbh to play with her, but i think people understand these options go a lil deeper. frame data could be better with parry and such...maybe even a charge that sucks health like asuka S mana charge but we'll have to see how she plays. so far tho im glad they brought her back and didnt skimp on moroha

a few things. first of all, i know you covered normal mode pressure, but i still think it's pretty weak to fd and deflect shield, hard to stay in. as for playing neutral with jealous, it's really strong, but if you get caught at all you lose your resources, which kinda sucks. there's also the fact that it's sometimes just hard to set up jealous at all in neutral if someone is keeping you in check. i feel like you'll need to swap between modes for both pressure and neutral a lot. in neutral you're gonna be swapping to jealous at like, full/three-quarter screen distance to gap close. in pressure, if you're in the corner, you'll probably wanna find a way back into normal mode to keep your pressure going longer and to not run out of gauge, maybe after looping mix a few times and going into rrc or projectile super or whatev. then you gotta keep up normal pressure until you either get a hit or eventually feel like it's time to use resources to go back into jealous and go for broke. i think a lot of when youll be pressuring or playing neutral as either stance will come down to how full the bar is anyway, but her ability to swap between them in pressure relies a lot on your burst and tension, and her ability to swap in neutral relies, frankly, on the opponent letting you. most characters have a way to bully aba at around poking distance, where aba's fastest button is like, f.s. she might need to condition the opponent to respect her 236k, 214k and 5h to get the opportunities. tho it may be hard to get anyone to respect that. another thing. i feel like leo will be incredibly tough. good midrange tools that can keep aba from going into or out of install in neutral. flash kick will waste your meter if you get caught in install and to make a lot of its pressure less scary, and if you get caught in normal mode (which relies heavily on interactive pressure with slight plus frames from keygrab, and also needs to use the very reactable 236k to stay in) you're back to square one. i also dont know how she escapes the blender. idk seems rough. idk her limited time to run offense just makes characters with good defensive tools really annoying.

Love the aba videos so much! I think she has a lot of potential and there is a lot of doomer talk around her. She’s also very fun in my opinion with lots of strong tools… so thanks for helping me get better with her!

"Oh, I won. Weee- Oh, I lost" sums up ABA in a nutshell.

great video thank you for the combo at 2:47 btw lol

loved the last guide and this one was great too! looking forward to more A.B.A content ^^

even with jealousy gauge sub 25% I find it pretty consistent to recover with Parry or get in Haul and Heed and punishing the dodged attack

Good video! Finding places to enter JR without actively combo'ing the opponent is gonna be big for sure!

Really want to let you know that I am really really extremely glad you are looking at her amazing strengths and how you can use them to play around her weaknesses instead of assuming her weakness holds all of her strengths back. I really believe that as time passes this character will end up being really good once people develop her and realise how she's played and how to route optimally with her (I think her combo routing for example is extremely intricate and maybe even the hardest to learn out of anyone in the cast due to just how many options she has can all be optimal depending on the game state), and it's extremely refreshing seeing someone out there able to look at the character as their whole rather than "oh I'm fullscreen against hc and I can't do anything!!!!!" Keep up your good work, handshake emoji

keep up the lab work 👍

the past two vids about aba ive seen from you make me wanna pick up the character, deff got a sub from me!
