SSF4 AE 2012 Changes Part 2

That is a sizable amount of nerfs that hit Fei and I’m not completely certain all of that was warranted. The rekka change alone drastically changes how you have to play the character and eliminates an entire portion of his meta-game…which was already somewhat boring anyway. Oh well, a lot of the changes to other characters are quite nice though.

I was just hoping that the good characters stayed good with only tiny modifications (in fei’s case, chicken wing dmg reduction and medium flame kick reduction) while worse off characters were brought up in an attempt to even things out. I thought that was the goal but apparently Capcom wants to do things heavy handed. If this much changed for Fei then I wonder what will happen for Yun. I hope they don’t do much with Yang but since he’s the offensive version of Fei he’ll probably get hit hard too.

Shit, I don’t even play this game that much but even I read that Akuma nerf and thought …you have got to be kidding right?? :confused:
