Some things I know went wrong… the throw is the most common and the most irritating - why her throw range is now garbage.
Anti air also seems terrible, I would be like, this is ridiculous, people jumping in stuffing back + hk, st mp, st mk, nothing would work for anti air it seemed.
Her hachanzu wannabe thing got stuffed every time I tried it.
Her jump v skill thing got stuffed or punished almost every time I tried it.
My own fault but seems like any time I needed to poke someone, I was holding back and got some shit move, missed the damage, and got whiff punished.
Besides this I got destroyed for a lot of fireballs, startup so slow and speed is crap. Even ex version is so slow.
This thing with holding back making her do close moves I find unfair for her charge fb.
Seemed like v trigger got me nothing as I was near death getting it at all and didn’t make much difference since footsies seem useless without range or seeming like she can combo to convert to anything. Also seems like trying to do her combos is a big risk, like trying to get st lk into legs after back + hp I’d miss consistently and be swept.
I hate command legs btw.
Her crossup seems crappy, like it is as bad as mk crossup in 4 which is to say garbage.
Her jump forward lk seems crap (maybe decent as air to air, but I liked using it in 4 as it was like jump forward mk in 2 which really worked for me), jump forward mk in this seems clunky. Like I couldn’t combo it into anything with range so you have to jump in all close - the animation makes it look like you’re hitting them on the head with the inside of her knee. That is a big part of what I don’t like, she feels clunky to me, like omega chun in 4. Similarly, why you can combo cr hp as easily into hard birdkick as lk version seems like the game has all the balance of omega, which is to say none.
So basically by the end I was going into matches like this character is garbage, I have nothing, no damage, no range, no antiair, no poke game, and no throw. Defense didn’t really get me very far. Without a gameplan or any confidence, even when things went more my way, I lost by a little rather than a lot.
I’m not interested in playing other characters, so if that’s chun in this, I’m not interested in playing the game period. I am pissed as I did enjoy street fighter 4, and with the game going where it seems to be in 5, I’ll miss playing. Also I feel like why bother playing 4 if this is where it’s going and everyone is going to be playing this.
