Again, stop with the accusatory tone. You\\\'re not helping anyone here. \\\"Three year long edit war\\\" makes it sound like it\\\'s been going on for three years. Which it hasn\\\'t. I just came back to SFV for a few games, some of them as abby, and noted how badly he dealt with pressure, something that many players of his agree on.

I disagree with that. Hence my usage of Zangief, another MightyGlacier in the same game, as a contrast. Don\\\'t strawman me.
Nobody wants to be on the defensive, but certain characters definitely do better in that situation than others. Abigail on the other hand, handles extremely poorly in that situation, as many of his players would attest. He can\\\'t \\\"tank hits until he finds a chance to land a hit.\\\" Trying to simply play offensive while you\\\'re at frame disadvantage with Abigail is a suicidal proposition. You need to try and reset to neutral so you can win back the initiative before trying some kind of crazy reversal play.
Abigail \\\'\\\'does\\\'\\\' in fact lack in defensive tools, which is a straightfoward definition of a GlassCannon, someone who is lacking in defensive ability. And yes, it would matter if someone\\\'s wakeup options were awful. That would make them a GlassCannon since that means they fold badly under pressure and \\\'\\\'on the defensive\\\'\\\'. Pure statistics can\\\'t always tell the entire story. Hell, if you looked at Abigail vs Ryu in a situation where a rushdown character like Cammy was in their face, and measure how much damage they take before they recover to neutral, as a percentage of their health pool, Abigail is almost certainly going to lose out in that comparison, he\\\'s just more vulnerable.
