There was nothing wrong with Laura vs Rog.
Abigail TRADE oki data list.
From A10. Shows which characters can mash out of which trade setups. Green means Abi will get a combo, red means you can push that button and get a trade to safely reset (like trading 3 frame with Fang after s.HK on block)

We can all blame Daigo for sponsoring him out of all the Americans he could have sponsored.
Discovered by Momochi and Infiltration last night - Akuma has a hidden buff in the corner that is amazing. He does st.mk into ex burning hado. It’s +8 on block and you can only interrupt with a 3 frame normal or special. If you crack and get hit - it juggles for absurd damage. The reason I think that this works now is because they increased the recovery on st.mk but now it also does increased block stun, so it’s almost impossible to interrupt.

Ryu’s VT2 feels really powerful now. I almost feel guilty when I land it cus the damage is nuts with ex donkey kick cancel and it’s pretty easy to counter your opponent if you take your time.

It needs to be this powerful considering the resources and the risk put into it.
Speaking of that…

I am almost certain we will get a 3.75. There is just no way Capcom is gonna keep the game like this. Can you fucking imagine the rest of the year without a cape? No way uh-uh. Capcom will save the day.

well that “buff” to Nash’s VT1 teleport isn’t all that great. tried it many times against projectile setups and it gets caught every time. it’s not throw and projectile invincible on frame 0 so it’s almost useless. the only real buff so far to me is his VS having more advantage on hit so you can combo but it’s still -7 on block.
Nash seems a little better but i think it’s because overall the top characters got nerfed. i haven’t lost to a Rashid yet which really says something. also, no one seems to be picking Abigail anymore. it’s just a shit ton of Guiles and Ryus.
I think this patch made things worse balance wise except for Balrog and Zeku.

This is exactly the kind of post I would “insightful” but I am not going to heart it that’s too strong.

The thing is if you do a read like that, raw ex air SPD is much safer to do and will grab people out of the sky in situations where you mistimed the flying headbutt.
If the flying headbutt kept the 400 stun, then it would be well worth the higher risk due to a much higher reward.
And they could have also made it so that jump mp and jump mk could be cancelled into ex air SPD.
That would be a big buff for Gief.
You can buffer the air headbutt. You waste a bar if you go for the read and air EX spd out of nowhere.
About Laura’s vt2:
Being a two bars trigger let’s you have at least one more mixup. If you spend the trigger quickly you can feasibly get two a round.
The counter stance is cool and its usability can only get better with time. Countering abigail’s 100 frames punch warms my heart. I need to test if I can interrupt some common blockstrings with it.
The counter stance + dash is kinda useless against fireballs because they recover before you do unless you cancel the dash into the choke, and you have to be pretty close to do that.
Yeah that has been my experience as well. The VT2 dash thing is good to have but it isn’t going to massively swing zoner fights in her favor with how long the recovery on the dash is, or with how long long the combined start up of dodge + dash is to go through a fireball on reaction (maybe I’m just slow).
I do like the potential for VT2 to let you get out of otherwise shitty pressure situations. I think it will be fun to experiment more with and see what she can get away with using it. It is also nice to have a 2 bar trigger as it makes it a little easier to be spendy with VReversals if you need them.
