They “buffed” cl.HK overhead by increasing its damage and stun, but they reduced hit advantage. I wouldn’t care about that except that reducing hit advantage also reduced counter hit advantage.
So now you can’t combo from counter-hit overhead cl.HK into Stepkick any more 
I just… man, I wonder why they did that. That’s a really big nurf
Yeah, it’s a pretty big nerf. But to be fair, it was pretty damn good before.
CH overhead into full step kick combo was a big deal - meterless hard knock down off an overhead was good, but of course only worked on counter hit.
Overhead into hard knockdown for one meter (cr.lp/cr.lk xx EX CoD) was WAY too good. I understand why they nerfed it in exchange for a little extra damage/stun.
Of course, Dudley retains his stupid overhead into whatever. If you ask me, Dudley is a way better “Abel” but he managed to escape unscathed. I blame the lack of high level Dudley’s in Japan.
In summary, yes it sucks - but it’s probably fair now considering Abels oki game and the buff to EX CoD.
