Abe - What an Oddworld: Support Thread

[Firefly201085]

At the beginning of this game, Abe is a happy, ignorant worker at RuptureFarms, a meat-packing plant, but discovers that the plant's boss Molluck the Glukkon has decided to use the factory's Mudokon slaves as a source of meat. At the end of the game's introductory sequence, which is a retrospective voice-over by Abe, he runs for his life. The Mudokons’ spiritual leader, the BigFace, reveals that the Paramites and Scrabs slaughtered and processed by the Glukkons were formerly sacred to the Mudokons, and orders Abe to relight holy flames extinguished by the Glukkons. Having done this, Abe is empowered by BigFace and infiltrates RuptureFarms, where he frees the remaining slaves and destroys the Glukkon board of executives, but is himself captured. Should the player save a certain number of Mudokons, their free compatriots rescue Abe, and he receives a hero's welcome from the Mudokons he rescued. Should the player not save a sufficient number, Abe is executed by Molluck.

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee was widely acclaimed for having innovative gameplay, good art direction and engaging cutscenes; however, its steep learning curve and system of only saving at checkpoints sometimes received criticism. It was the first game in the planned five-part Oddworld series, which includes the direct sequels Abe's Exoddus (1998), Munch's Oddysee (2001) and Stranger's Wrath (2005). A remake of the game, titled Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty!, was developed by Just Add Water and released via digital distribution in 2014.

I support! Abe would feel like a unique character for his moveset potential such as managing Mudokons like Olimar, throwing grenades/rocks/meat, chanting to create portals or teleport, possessing opponents or Sligs (more possible), riding Elums and finally, transforming into a Shrykull in his Final Smash. With games on Nintendo consoles such as Adventures and it's sequel on Game Boy, New 'n Tasty on Wii U and recently some games were ported to Switch, and Oddworld Inhabitants expressing interest for representation in Smash.

For a fact, he was planned to be included in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (Sony's platform fighter) alongside The Legend of Dragoon's Dart Feld, before the DLC was cancelled.
