It seems Cammy really does have the best V-reversal in the game, it even works on the nerf hammer.
Guile got off pretty easy as well. In fact, he may be better now? Throw buff seems pretty significant for him.
I think the urien horizontal blowback change was done to remove the left/right mixup after lvl1 tyrant blaze -> medium headbutt. It still covers quick and normal wakeup, but now you won’t get mixed up with a right/left depending on how you wake up after getting hit by tyrant blaze…but only midscreen, you can still do some nasty stuff in the corner.
I seriously can’t see any difference on the st.HP crush counter distance.
Now you only get 3 v-trigger II uses and I still don’t understand the whole armor properties after the first hit stuff.

Infil demonstrating character changes one by one.
So Ken’s c.LP is now a tick throw as promised, except not really cause the throw will still whiff if they hold back.
Ah well, still looking forward to fleshing out s3.5 Ken. The reduced push back on c.LP is a legitimate buff. Being able to connect three lights into a shoryuken without even starting at point blank range is sweet.

It definitely still works. Its just range specific now. There is however a crouch hp CC combo thats pretty dead tho

Also the nerf to pushback on booms feels pretty significant vs guile. You can bulldog him on the ground and look to trade crush counters with booms as a plausible strategy now.

Popping in SFV for the first time since DBFZ dropped… must test this new Laura and cry over Abigail 
Zeku buffs, eh?
Well I think I made a fake LTG quit so tonight’s been fun.
Yeah I really don’t know about Abigail. He’s probably mid - upper mid now. They REALLY took away a lot of his shit.
If he dashes forward after mashed Abigail Punch, he’s at least -3. If you normal rise you can jab punish on reaction.
After Bay Area Sunrise (his run throw), if you dash forward against a character with a 3 frame the best you can get is a trade with cr.lk
They didn’t just take away f.hp xx HP Abigail Punch, they also nerfed the damage of EX flip from 120 - 80, so his old cr.hp, EX flip, f.hp xx lp flip does less damage now then he had before they gave him f.hp xx Abigail Punch.
No oki, much less damage, lights push out so quickly he doesn’t really get any real light pressure. He just isn’t anywhere nearly as scary as before, not sure how he’s going to compete with the top tiers.
3.5 too good.

Okay so Bay Area Sunrise oki might not be completely gone against 3f characters, if you dash up trade cr.lk you can use the trade to combo b.hp,hp.

Not gonna lie, I’m not a fan of nerfing stuff. As annoying as Abigail was, I just held those L’s and did my best to improve in the matchup. If it were up to me, aside from some damage and hurtbox changes, I wouldn’t have removed the stuff that made him ridiculously good. It just doesn’t sit well with me.
Hopefully the Abby players stick with him and keep doing work. I always found the character fun to watch since he was…different than the usual.

Can’t believe they went through with that boob-changing Juri costume.
Menat’s costume looks cool. Still hate her though.
Surprised about the positive feedback on Chun. I’ll give that stuff a try after work.
He still has cr.lk. He is gonna be okay except against Guile. We are all fucked.
