I can see how the cr.mk hands pushback MIGHT be different now due to the blockstun changes on hands. Would be hard to test if it changed unless someone has both prepatch and patched version replaying the same inputs.
Yeah I plan on doing various block string with me cornered pre and post patch so we can see the difference in training squares. I could just be crazy but we will see.
Fyi I play makoto as well, if you psycho stream with your back not close to a corner Makoto can reversal ex hayate and she hits decapre clean as ultra one harmlessly travels past her.
She’s not the only one. I saw Ryan Hart against Knuckledu in Capcom cup just dash up DP with Ryu to beat Psycho Stream. I’ve only been using it after knockdowns for set ups really.
Stealth hands nerf confirmed. Approximately half a training square pushback is lost.
Pre patch 1.04
c.lk, c.lk, c.lp, c.mk xx lp hands
Ryu fp dp whiffs
Post patch 1.04
Same string Ryu hits 100% of the time. I’m assuming same with Akuma as I was getting hit by his light dp quite a bit. This makes the shoto match more a pain now. I’m gonna test more variations with Akuma and Ken and some other block strings.
