Patching bugs is a thing, changing the way a character plays is another one. You can’t just blow up two months of work on setups a day before the event.
It seems right now the only character deserving a nerf is Urien. But only one thing here or there, then buff the other characters. But knowing capcom they will just make Urien worse than in S1, and nerf some mid tiers.
Also, they should nerf Ken. Fuck Ken.
Legit only Uriens and Rog that might need a nerf at this point. Both characters get waaaayyyy to much reward. Also reversal aegis not getting stuffed by meaties is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.
Laura is stupid but not OP. Like turn your brain off dumb. Honestly I’d just like a slight need to her j. MK.
Mika is really underestimated. She might not even be low tier. Mika can still get EX peach off clap midscreen. She isn’t bad.
No it doesn’t. You might have to relearn combos and setups right before your first live event that you have worked on for 2 months. This is bad not only for mains but also for the others that have to adapt on the fly.
People have been skeptical with Ibuki and Balrog being allowed at EVO 2016 only 2 weeks after release and for good reasons. It doesn’t make much sense to balance things again when we don’t even have tournament experience to prove what’s really broken or a public beta that is intended for that.
If they nerf it even more they might as well just remove the hitbox from it.
