Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Form One:
    1. Trident Lob: Abyss throws his helmet as a trident. Jump over the splash damage.
  2. 2
    Standing Arm Swipe: He swings an electrified arm. Watch out for breaking pillar pieces.
  3. 3
    Rushing Body Press: Similar to Juggernaut's Headcrush. Use Advancing Guard to push him away, but be cautious of follow-up hits.
  4. 4
    Blue Homing Sparks: Three sparks home in on you. They do minor damage and can be blocked.
  5. 5
    Stomach Blast (Hyper Combo): A belly button beam. High block damage. Super jump over him before it starts.
  6. 6
    Green Rain (Hyper Combo): Green sleet falls from the sky. Block it; it's fast.
  • Form Two: Abyss is now part of green ooze, with Super Armor and limited movement.
    1. Blue Flamethrower: A short stream of fire. Stay out of range. Can destroy some projectiles.
    2. Small Laser Beam: A thin laser. Block or jump.
    3. Big Laser Beam: A thicker laser. Does significant damage if not blocked.
    4. Green Bubbles: Unblockable bubbles trap you. Shake the joystick and tap buttons to escape. Pop them with any attack.
    5. Spinning Photon Array (Hyper Combo): Beams fly in all directions. Block it.
  • Form Three: Abyss is a large, red, dog-like beast with a floating ball above him.
    1. Venom Fang Attack: A leaping bite. Block it. Cannot hit if you are at the back of his body.
    2. Flaming Breath Attack: A long-lasting gout of red flame. Does significant damage.
    3. Ground Flames: Vertical flames shoot from the ground. High damage and can juggle. Get out of the way or block.
    4. Fire Column: Abyss pounds the ground, causing a column to erupt. Low damage and range, but fast. Can hit twice.

    • Strategy:

    • Form One: Block most attacks. Jump over Rushing Body Press and Stomach Blast to attack from behind. Use quick combos and block his attacks. Save Hyper Combo power for the next form. Iceman's HCs can be blocked for no damage.
    • Form Two: Back off and use long-range attacks against his repeated Flamethrower. If close, jump behind him, do a quick chain, and retreat. Destroy Green Bubbles immediately. Iceman can use Ice Beam for an easy win.
    • Form Three: Avoid Ground Flames and Flaming Breath. Block Venom Fang.
