Oh nononono.
I’ve been waiting a long-ass time to get those Ryu buffs. You gon wait until SF6.
I’m getting from Alex that his EX Elbow is now cracking-knuckles-first punishable and that EX Knee hits standing opponents but is nerfed in damage.
EX Power Bomb got a slight damage buff and the rest are slight Trigger adjustments.
Still trash.
Akuma only got Demon flip nerfs but Shakunetsu hadoken got buffed because apparently it was poorly used.
Yep. Capcom’s brand of AntiBalance 
strikes again.
Ryu was good in S1 he can fuck off, besides you don’t even play the game

And both versions of him will be good in S4.
Rashid ate very minor damage nerfs and that’s about it.
Standing shot has 16f start up now and deals 20 less damage!
I won’t be able to link it from st lp any more, ffs!
Capcom, PLEASE!
Somebody link the FANG changes.
Need to make sure what bullshit I’m going to avoid by not playing this nonsense anymore.
There are barely any notable improvements, other than hadoken speed.
Alex and ryu look like the big winners.

Oh and cody…
Trust me, those are QoL buffs at best. Overall he got nerfed again.
Builds less V-meter, less stun on Psycho Knuckle, sweep is far worse. Crmp xx Psycho Upper doesn’t really help him that much, EX Psycho Upper change only works when doing it in combos, the rest are meh
Unless they’re planning big things for 4.5, he’s not budging from where he is
they basically did what me and most of you predicted, nerf the current top tiers slightly and buff everyone else to make them fight the top tiers on an even field

So in terms of my characters:
- Chun got (and lost) pretty much nothing.
- Sak got a lot of small but good buffs
- Vega got stance change from claw punch buttons and a new EX CT for more juggle combos. None of his real problems were addressed though.
Not feeling this patch so far. It’s not terrible but just not very exciting.
Maybe Kage will be cool.
Yes, but where is the S4 Character Pass? Is there one? Why was it delayed?
I understand now that last year they revealed all the characters then to push the release of AE. This year is different, and Kage could be seen as a continuation of AE’s release rather than the first S4 character.
But again, is there an S4 character pass? I find it alarming that they left it open ended like this. Usually when an SF game begins recycling assets (e.g. Kage) it means the end of its cycle is near. This makes me sad.

What did I tell you guys?
If you liked Season 3, it wasn’t going to change.
If you hated Season 3, it wasn’t going to change.
Calm ya asses, shake your asses, play ST or get on that 3S Genei Jin hype.

“Kage is only the beginning of the next season of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition! We’re doing things differently this year, so we’re eager to share the details with you soon! Thank you for all the continued support. We can’t wait to show off what’s next in 2019!”
So there’s that at least.
