Top tier? I doubt it. Also if we are going to give her back her soft divekick I’d rather only the EX version be plus. They should retool air EX legs so it behaves like the light version.
Also I’m not saying Chun doesn’t deserve it but I would rather we not add more “fuck you im plus bc EX” tools.
Top tier Chun would need plus oB air legs back, her old fireball, and Kikosho to 2 bars at the very least. Maybe a throw range increase too. Even then I think she’d still be midtier since her offense is pretty trash compared to what Akuma, Ibuki, etc are doing. If we want to push the envelope even further I’d say make Heavy LL knockdown so she can KD in neutral without burning a bar.
Really what she needs are those things and a real VT. Reinkiko and Kikosho are trash compared to shit like Shuriken and Aegis.
Guile is mid-tier now.
Believe me.
How can a char that can’t Fisher Price neutral his way to victory be good?
Sobat won’t even trade with 3f on block anymore.
Or maybe it does, I don’t know.
Thank god the gullible masses bought into the Guile nerfs.
While I was one of the biggest proponents of her getting her og lightning legs nerfed, giving her back plus lightning legs feels warranted ATM. She’s way to weak to both fireballs and divekick style moves to not have a great offense.
But, let’s be real. It won’t happen.
A change that COULD happen for her is make her instant ex legs her old plus on block lightning legs. That would make her plus frames locked behind meter which is an sf5 thing. Further, she could get a real tiger knee motion. It’s absolutely ludicrous that kage and akuma both gets worlds easies tiger knee moves and Chun is sitting there with some of the hardest true tiger knee inputs ever.
Her throw range could use a buff but that probably won’t happen.
Hi legs knocking down would be nice but only possible if she got no oki midscreen off of backrise. Capcom doesn’t seem to like light starters to have oki against backrise and chuns hk legs is available from a light starter iirc.
A damage buff on her st.hp, while not realistic would also be good for her. Or a damage buff on her st.mk (I stand by the fact that this would be a good overall game wide homogenous buff)
Giving her cr.mp a bit more range or making it duck fireballs a bit faster would also be a good look… and something of that vein NEEDS to happen for her.
I still love the character but she has way to many problems still, even after all the hyper situational buffs she’s gotten since she was nerfed into the ground.
Personally for me I think the thing that is strongest about chun is her cr.lk,cr.lp,cr.mk xx msbk combo that starts from a low in renkiko and gives her a really good oki situation… is the very best thing about the character…and that thing isn’t all that great so that shows how weak she is.
She needs some common sense buffs not this hyper situational stuff.
Having said that, her v skill buff is VERY close to making her tournament viable again. It gave her access to strong damage which she never had before.
I played Ultra Diamond Blanks yesterday in a FT5, didn’t do the glitch, but then he said he wouldn’t do it.
I don’t see the point of the excitement really. Its like making two moves in chess, you know it’s not real, they know it’s not real, anybody watching knows it’s not real.
Fucking around online, like yeah whatever, fast track into black list I’d assume lol
I was thinking about that the other day when I went to do some of her S1 trials to get some FM and was taken aback by all the stuff she couldn’t do. She really has gotten a lot of buffs since S1. Comboable cr. lk, combo into V skill, f.hk crush-countering, new combo options from V skill etc. On paper it looks like a lot, but damn if none of it really makes a damn difference at all.
It’s funny to look back and see how complained about this character was. Especially compared to the bullshit that exists now in it’s current form. She was destroyed in one revision and never recovered. Meanwhile, most of the top tiers are still on top after multiple adjustments.I really don’t know what this character needs to be good. Nothing they’ve done seems to be working. I just wish her offense wasn’t so poor.
