Probably true. But even subtle stuff can hve a big effect. I doubt if Makoto players really understood why things were so much worse after CS2 till they saw the hitbox nerfs to all of her moves. The people I follow on twitter are complaining about it too is all.
Then the only other thing I have to say is that the video I posted was the first video I watched after learning about 2c stuff. but then, I'm sure it's still pretty good, it has a nice hitbox and it recovers fast.
