Challenge Mode Walkthrough Notes
Abel's Normal Trials show you a few ways to set up his Ultra with his Crouching Hard Punch. This is an important skill to take with you because his Ultra is a solid way to score some damage in a match. You'll also see some of his other combos here too.
On Abel's second Hard Trial, trying hitting Dan with almost the end of your foot when doing the Standing Medium Kick then Dash and Link into Standing Hard Punch. Having the right spacing helps ease the timing on this trial.
If you have trouble getting through his trials though, make sure you scope out the video on the right for a visual walkthrough.
Completing all of these will unlock a few Titles and Icons related to Abel.

How can i do the 5° hard? It's so difficult put Hp after dash..
Posted by Hector on August 22, 2009 at 7:37 p.m. #8
if your not getting the hp after the dash, your not making the dash fast enough, you gotta press > mk > hp, the second > gotta be rly fast.
