All hope is lost. They even nerfed Trance......son, it's orge.

I'll still play her though. I love her <3

nerfs:

nerfed damage/corner carry (fine) and some silly corner converts (also kind of fine)

 

nerfed air swords notably (fine, but removes some unique gameplay aspects outside of burning YRC on them, and her meter build is already kind of unique so idk if this will actually work out)

 

nerfed j2/5/8D recovery. lameeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

dauro unsafer on IB (-5 instead of -4 for green) makes it scarier to throw out as a high damage poke. 

 

toranshi nerf, whatever. should be using meter on YRC and Blitz now anyway

 

cmd grab nerf, lol. make the worst cmd grab in the game worse, oh well.

 

nerf damage on 6S/H, 6K, and PPP. whatever

 

blitz can stun ram if she's too close when they blitz  a sword: okay

 

uhhh buffs:

5pk4k, new possibility and more untech. probably the new knockdown. i hope it's nicer than having to do 5P1KK, and I think it will be since 5PK moves forward more. so you can 5P4P confirm into the new string.

 

3K low profiles more stuff i guess

 

calvados

 

ram gets a pretty beefy combo on blitz AA near corner (i heard corner loops are still in, just nerfed) and grounded blitz so woo

I want to Boleive Cloukyo, but I'd like to play them together! Hopefully they find a happy medium with Rammy. At the risk of sounding unintentionally petty zaeris, I don't have a shred of sympathy for Zato players. LOL! :)

I fully believe that the loketest version of Ram is RIP but there are at least 2 more loketests to go so no reason to really worry yet lol.

 

They are just testing changes and seeing where the characters are at after taking stronger tools away.

 

Maybe people will finally stop saying characters like Ram and Zato can "never be bad".

Oh, so we're confirmed to be getting three tests? O.K. That makes MUCH more sense. There's so many moving parts to her that seeing how far they can break her to ensure she's at least SLIGHTLY weaker following reconstruction actually sounds pretty smart. Wasn't +R proof enough that Zato could be bad? I forgot where he ended up. Besides, all he got here was forced Eddie management, and they even buffed his command grab. He looks fine. I just don't want ANYONE to die, since we don't have a Kokonoe problem anywhere.

I'm reading mixed reports on the Blitzshield buff but overall it seems like the opponent needs to be almost point blank range for the stun effect to take effect. I've read that things like Ky's throw->CSE if reversal BS doesn't put Ky in a stun state. Based on how Ramlethal sword oki worked I don't see this affecting the majority of her set ups.

Theres no confirmation on the number of Loketests specifically but every game Arc has released in at least the last couple years has had 3-4 loketests so there really ins't any reason to believe it would be any different for Xrd.

Yea I don't suspect the blitz shield change will matter much for ram as we really aren't that close that it would affect us.  That is ofc assuming we still have any oki left after the nerfs  :toot:

Ah. I seem to recall BBCP 2.0 only having one or two, and I know P4AU 2.0 only had one, and was basically 98% done at that point, with the majority of those changes making it to the final build of the game, including the need to Confusion that they literally said in an interview was an exclusive change to the location test. For what it's worth, StunEdge says that Ram, Zato and Milia are still good, just not Top 3 anymore, and that Ky and Axl are the most improved characters, jumping up to the high end of Mid Tier.

He also feels that Faust is likely #1 now, which is no real surprise honestly.

That's not what we're worried about. Of course she's still gonna be good!!!!! The question is, is she still gonna be CHEAP???!!!!

The dream is dead.

 

I understand the corner carry, corner combo, and damage nerfs, but the jump sword deploy and dauro recovery nerfs are messed up. Hopefully they will reconsider a few things. I'm wondering what the pk4k string will be like though. Counter-hit jump D wallbound seems like an intersting buff, though at first glance it doesn't seem like it'll do much for her since everyone uses j.8D. I won't complain about the Calvados buff; I use it sometimes for chip and sniping but it's whatever really. I'll wait to see more opinions and footage before I make any final thoughts.
