Why do the Faust buffs seem so weak? Or are they banking on monitor lag being significant indirect buffs to his j.2K overhead and command throw? Monitor lag goes both ways for his pokes when it comes to reacting, but I could be wrong on the payoffs. Unless FB door is way faster than it seems, even with monitor lag it's a gimmick that requires a lot of tension to count for much. The item changes seem underwhelming at the moment.

also: [ElvenShadow] FA New food item just gives health I guess. Lame New dumbbell causes knockdown on hit. I used it in an item super and I think it hit another item and got canceled out or something Force break door only works from back door. Can be combod off off only if you RC it and catch with 5p [Venom] {6P, 6HS} chain removed 6HS is faster Woshige [on +R] They have nerfed the amount of stuff that the upper tier can do, and buffed the lower tier ones. At the moment: Eddie feels so strong and it doesn't feel like any character can win against him. lol? So Faust can burn 25% for a gimmick door, and then can convert it to some amount of damage by burning an additional 50% tension. TOTALLY THE BUFF HE NEEDED sadface popo Though to be fair a lot of the things that made matchups suck for him have more to do with things other characters got, such as moves that obliterate his ground pokes. Given that Faust isn't getting any other outright new moves, unless Faust gets something stupid like pogo FRC or ludicrous buffs to his normals, the only realistic way his odds are going to improve in the face of that stuff is if that stuff gets nerfed.

Faust changes: 5K CH doesn't knock away the enemy anymore Chikuwa (new item) recovers some HP Dumbbell apparently causes more stun than the Hammer Tarai/Pan now hits 1 screen away Oh boy, Faust sure has the tools needed to fight modern Slayer/Eddie/Testament now!.... ... ..... ....... ............ T___________T

Honestly, as much as I love Faust, I actually really look forward to learning new characters for reals once +R comes out. It's not because of whatever matchups Faust has, but it has more to do with doing stuff that Faust could never do or never had... things like IAD-based offense that's actually worth something, or using FBs for something other than low-return gimmick plays. I'd like to get my roommates into the game, but they are all really noob at fighting games and I frankly don't know GG well enough to offer any good advice on any other characters. I'll probably spend the summer teaching them fundamentals in 3S lolololol

WHAT IS THIS MOVE YOU SPEAK OF
-
Other characters: - crazy stuff Faust: - coins bounce after hitting ground and can hit opponent after bouncing - FB door that isn't fast enough to combo from 2HS - two new items one of which had no immediately apparent effect and one of which (the barbell) I hope is aimed directly at the opponent's position There had better be some awesome "minor" tweaks to him because Faust is a DNF in the GG arms race.

Lots of stuff going on.... I'm starting up an incubator with one of my profs, I'm helping teach courses this summer, and in the next term or so I'll be heading up a class on physically-based rendering. There's also the possibility of PhD, but I kind of don't want to do it unless I absolutely have to or I can fit it in with whatever work I am doing at that time. It just doesn't seem like a good time investment to be doing that as the only thing.
