Can anyone give me a rundown on the Zeku changes?
Thatās what Iām thinking too after re-reading Karinās changes to make her āmore offensive.ā
Simply put, he can switch a lot more freely between his OZ and YZ forms.

Good guy Ryu, sharing his chair.
Sharing shmaring.
Cammy cannon spiked his ass out of it.
Wait to people actually want menat nerfed? She is probably the most balance character in the game at this point.

why the ever living fuck would you use VT1 with S3 Kolin?
In some match ups the corner carry is useful and it easier to freeze your opponent, that said I agree with you. Especially against Guile and Akuma. Even my old ass can punish fireballs on reaction in VT2ā¦sometimes.
Menat is in a really really peculiar spot.
She was intentionally made hard to use to appease the āSrteetoh fightah Fihbu isa too eezyā crowed but in doing this they filtered out all the plebs that canāt use her. So since no one can use her except like 2% of the player base, Capcom canāt just knee jerk reaction nerf her unless she has some truly game breaking stuff in her game plan.
No one can just causally lab out her BS, so itās easier to just be like, āokay just nerf the bitchā. I know Ahkos would prob say something along the lines of āget gud bitch boiā but I feel like the situation isnāt that simple.
Menat takes too much work to play right and even if you got her gimmicks down chances are you still arenāt playing her optimally. Capcom is literally adjusting this character off of like 3 niggas.
So what do? I donāt have the time: [Read] (Iām too fucking lazy) to figure out every Menat meaty, corner set up, loop, vortex, gimmick. She has to offer and I donāt play enough Menatās to understand how to handle her game plan.
Now Iām not asking for Menat nerfs. Let her be strong whatever. Iām just saying this is the consensus and Itās never gonna change till a baby can mash out her VT1 set ups.

i think itās because Capcom knows who they want to be top for each season and who will be the underdog. theyāre putting on a show for all the viewers. Cammy hasnāt won enough and they want to see her winning more events. if the audience boos loud enough (Abigail) theyāll nerf the character/s.
I donāt really get all those Urien changes, Iām pretty sure Iām fucking stupid.
Quarrel kick is now +3 because no one fucking uses that shit, ok, I get that one.
Why did they nerf st.HP crush counter and then bring it back?
Why did they increase recovery on st.LP and cr.LP?
Did they remove cr.MK xx tyrant blaze?
Why did they make v-trigger II cost more v-gauge on use if itās worse than v-trigger I?

Yeah one day weāll get LOLs modded up in this bitch. Hopefully.
I mean like Daemos said, I guess thereās no debating that shit is political about balance changes with viewers and CPT money on the line. With that said I think with Abigail they figured Abigail was fun and needed more stuff to be fun with. I think they were just stupid enough to not put together that he would be like 3 archetypes in one with the buffs they were giving him. Looks like they figured it out now. Itās like how they gave Urien a cross up and shit. I remember when I read patch notes and saw Urien got a cross up and was like āWTF whyyyy??? does he need that??ā He probably wouldnāt go too much further down the tier list if he went back to no cross up like 3S, but having a cross up just pushes him up that much further.
Yeah thatās how Eddie/Zato stayed top tier in GG for years and whenever he gets nerfed into something thatās not top tier Ogawa calls bullshit and bitches because WTF Zato is supposed to be top and who cares if the peons canāt breakdance on the stick and use 2 characters at once. He can do it and it lets him win so thatās enough and you wont have to deal with it unless you fight him so if you canāt handle peon Zato then git gud.
E.Ryu was like that too. The only other shoto that you really needed to bother using once he rose up was Ken, but E.Ryu was clearly good enough to be the shoto to mostly use and he had combo swag that people were action movie bomb scene wiring their sticks for just to perform better.
I personally dont really have a problem with her because Ibuki has enough ways to pick her way in on her and then you just fight her like every other character once you get in. For other people though who play characters where your chances to get in are much slimmer, I can see why there would be frustration. Overall though she adds a zoning dynamic to the game that people want so she probably isnāt going anywhere for a while.

You know, had the stun on the air headbutt been kept at 400, then being able to cancel into air ex SPD would be well worth the risk and the difficulty of pulling it off.
Manage to land it? Hereās 650 stun for your trouble, or 750 stun in VT2.
It would be worth risking trying to pull that stuff off in neutral if your opponent jumped in this case.
I can answer your Cr.HP into CC question. They put it back because they are nerfing Crush Counter damage.
Awww man I donāt wanna see that nerfed Ibuki s.HK CC damage. Awww manā¦Tuesday.
I guess itās worth it so bad EX DPās dont destroy Akuma and anybody that isnāt a big body.
What time does the maintenance start?
Cammy Boyz still being blessed by the Capcom gods
