SFV Current Reported Balance Changes. FULL PATCH NOTES coming NOT Today

Am I the only one who understood that they were going to just give a preview of the patch today? Though I didn’t think it would’ve been THAT small.

Laura changes PLS ANYONE
There MUST still be a single Laura player in the US…

Basically my situation with Rashid rn lol

The inability of this company to get anything remotely right beyond combat systems is astounding.

Rest in Pieces Mika.

Mika will still make people rest in peace.

MIka played perfectly fine without mid screen passion press combos. All it means is that you use her command throws for their intended purpose: always cornering her opponents.

Guile now has a 2 bar V Trigger. This is confirmed.

He has apparently lost some corner combos (and the loop), but can now combo st.mp into cr.mp without counter hit. Don’t know if this is true or not but the 2 bar V Trigger definitely is.

More changes… http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1spcufj

Tl;dr

“Bison honestly feels like one of the best characters in the game to me now. He’s also much more fun and much more oppressive. He’s closer to a real boss character than he’s ever been in a main SF title.”

Also patch comes out on the 20th and the psx build is the final build.

No more Guile loop? NO FUN ALLOWED. Better to be more solid than more flashy I guess.

Bison is going to be a beast. Now instead of not fitting the game much at all he should fit it pretty well. Still not hearing enough nerfs from Necalli to have him overtake him yet though.

Unless they severely changed his V meter build, V Trigger twice a round is going to be strong (even if it’s a nerfed version of what it is currently). Using critical art more often will be a thing.

there was no fun in it…as someone who need to do it and to watch it.
i would rather see him get a buff where he can do the same amount of damage with less hits then to sit there and watching that long ass boring loop.

No changes to Cammy? She’s gonna be the new Chun…

she already WAS the new chun

Wow we might actually start seeing Bison at tournament play next year?

Yeah I’m sure the Bisons will pop out again. A lot of people liked using him and you saw him early on, but he had to be stored away once the struggle (that I predicted) started getting too real.

He’s really not that hard to use so he will be a character that you will see others pocket.

@truendymion Apparently Cammy got the nerf hammer harder than Chun. According to Myers all divekicks seem negative, including EX. V-Reversal doesn’t knockdown anymore.
