I noticed it was able to go through Rashid’s projectile when in a string if delayed properly (so that it wouldn’t stuff the start-up)… so yeah that’s rather new. It used to just flat out trade before with the projectile hitting Ken, no matter if delayed or done early. Idk if it’s the same stats as before, or if invul starts earlier.
Still don’t know for how long it’s projectile invincible though or what actually adjusted. Would need to look into hitbox/flag checks.
Otherwise, I’m probably going to call it placebo since he had frame 3-6 Fierce DP proj inv for a while… and just assume the Rashid change was “that” bad (which makes sense).
EDIT: Confirmed placebo. Nothing changed with Fierce DP projectile invincibility.
Alright, so people using their mains in Casual Matches has its good sides as well. It feels particularly great when you beat some Super Platinum Guile main with your day 2 Sakura, especially if you’re just randomly throwing out heavy Tatsus in neutral.
Speaking of: people will complain so much about that move in a few weeks. It’s positively braindead. But I think at least one of your tools has to be like that in this game if your character wants to keep up.
The new Alex is very strong, a sum up of his new buffs for non Alex players -
More midscreen damage
More corner damage
+3 oH ender from mid combo routes
Can now make Lariat an uncounterable mixup outside of EX reversals
More AA damage
A 5f command grab so +2 is now a true 50/50 mixup for him
Alex is hella buff now. One extra tidbit is that his hard hits don’t have the new CC scaling value, so when he stuns you into a hard hit you take pre patch scaling in addition to his new increased damage.
man people are still complaining about alex like season 1 alex was better than this version, he got like all his buttons and specials buffed what more do you want?
its just annoying how people keep using season 1 versions of a character as the base of when they were really good. S1 nash was good but only cause of a stupid play style and system engine made him that good but now i feel like hes better in terms of his rushdown
