The fact they removed crouch teching still gets me hype, it's quicker and a lot more hectic from what I've seen in regards to movelists, ~V-Triggers and such, yet at the same time it's still street fighter. Q when???

Patiently waiting another 7 years for Slayer with BBU

Lambda could play in a completely different way, right? I'll hold onto my tiny bag of hype for that, don't want to waste it otherwise (^:

Katawa Ragna Hell. I'd play it. Ed: We have likes now?! Jesus Christ I'm going to whore myself out

This had me laughing for a good 15 minutes none stop

The "Buff low tiers to they are top tier" Argument makes me cringe. That's the absolute laziest way to "Balance" a game. ASW seems to have the League of Legends approach to some characters, though. So I can see why a few people are pissed. They just keep removing tools from characters and giving them paltry compensation buffs to try make up for it. "Alright. Mr Shishigami, Miss Nanaya. We took away most of the things that made you engaging and dynamic. But here, have a brand new Overdrive! Don't worry if they suck, we slipped in a few new incredibly useful special moves too! But don't get too happy, if you discover something hilarious in your current iteration, we'll take that off you too and give you a few more + frames!...Next year"

They kind of just left Bang and Makoto on the line. That or the work experience kid did it.

The Growler changes were more of a fix. Everything else was a QoL buff and his OD D Cancels were a straight up buff (A hilarious one at that. Some combos are going to look brilliant). I'm happy with it, to be honest. I expect the System Backdash nerf will apply to him, because I really expected a backdash nerf. Not sure how input changes are a buff, either. Ten more years.

Everything looks somewhat reasonable. Nobody got wrek'd. Bang still boring. Yup. Hazama and Valk still ace. Yup Compensation Buffs almost across the board? Yup All is well!

When will Bang be fun again?

So. This Valentine uses the same creepy Teeth balloons. Pretty cool.

You say that as if it's a bad thing. Koko mirrors for EVO grand finals, kill me now.

When Street Fighter AE was released. Yun was instantly the single best character in the game, Ono, one of the heads behind the game came out and said they wanted him to be this strong. They didn't care about the impact he would have on the game. Daigo switched to Yun, Yun was everywhere, Anti-Yun tech was the top of the agenda and if you couldn't beat Yun, you were going to have a seriously hard time. Looking at characters like Dhalsim and Chun-Li. He was unhealthy for the game. Kokonoe could have taken CP down the same route, but they nipped it at the bud, and I think the game will be better off for it until they get off their ass and fix her.

Woooo. I return. In a way I'm glad they did it, though I can see why people would be a bit pissed off with it. But I don't see how any rational human could say she isn't broken in her current state. Even without the infinite blockstring. "Oh but you need to land multiple 1f links" ....So?
