Health buff isn’t to survive combos, it’s to deal with chip set ups and unconverted hits better.
There’s probably little chance of her actually getting buffs, and I would settle for the exploits being gone. Her slide… why the hell shorten Phoenix and She-Hulk and give Nova and Hawkeye 3/4 screen slides? That’s just stupid. Capcom just decided She-Hulk and Tron and Phoenix were just getting too much play. None of the other dominate characters were nerfed that hard, or were just buffed (Wesker, Wolverine, ZERO, Spencer and Dr. F’ING DOOM). But, like I’ve said, I have no problem with the way she plays now… and really haven’t had much issue with her health. I do believe it is stupid to kill a character with a simple exploit (side exchange). Let me re-iterate that I have no problem whatsoever with a legitamate Phoenix/D Phoenix kill setup.
I agree completely with the poster above. Especially now that Morrigan can do the same WITHOUT burning XF.
