Itās not too hard to separate your real skills from whatever exploits you use against the AI in survival. I know better than to go for v-skill crossup -> bnb over and over again on a human opponent.
So far the Ed changes have been OK/nice to have but heās losing his core corner pressure tool and not really gaining anything to replace it. With the preview of the changes Iām actually leaning towards Ed being slightly nerfed since most of his buffs seem to be just QoL changes so he actually works properly and the universal system changes are hurting him a lot or just not improving his game that much.
If the AA buffs go through might switch back to Rog for S3 since Rogās probably dropping down to mid tier again and the cast wide AA buff looks to benefit him more than Ed.
So far Iāve managed to finish all the trials except Karinās vol. 2 ones, and I already finished all the easy survivals and a few of the the normal ones for the characters Iām marginally competent with. Between those and the General Story on Extra difficulty I managed to bank an extra 280,000 fight money before AE, and I was already planning on buying the season pass this time around.
Iāve been having an off week and at the moment donāt feel very confident in my abilities, so I really donāt know if I want to deal with the frustration of playing ranked for an extra 5,000.
