Something just came to me since I been following the USFIV/GGXrd location tests and reading reactions to character changes.
What games/characters have received some truly brutal nerfs over the years?
The one thats really strong in my mind is Talim from Soul Calibur 2 going into Soul Calibur 4. She was complete trash by this point, it was almost laughable that she was upper mid at one point and dead last if not next to dead last. For starters:
-damage reduction
-speed reduction (she’s a teenage 5 foot filipino)
-removed wind charmer 2
-reduced pushback on mid pokes
-increased cooldown on many attacks
-old launchers now only launch on CH
-lows can be guarded on reaction & unsafe
-AA/BB cant stance into wind charmer
-She HAS to do an attack after her “evasion” stance or else she will auto flip forward into her death
Yeah. Talim got roasted. Any other character get nerfd into oblivion like this poor girl?
Other than the damage nerf and her inability to build meter while floating what else?
or is that all they needed for storm to get owned?
Marvel could have opened up a doorway of posibilities just be giving characters little special things that other characters dont have. I still miss vanilla assist call from SJ height
