Official Soulcalibur V 1.02 Patch Notes!

One thing to correct that I fixed in her SA.

In Gloomy :6::6: or :3::3: or :9::9::bA+B+K: (Wild Beat Scherzo (change persona)): decreased damage (20→15). Decreased chance of personality change.

This move is in Jolly.

As a Xiba player... who thought Xiba was pretty low tier to begin with... I'm actually okay with this patch. It seems mostly justified and "minor". Its not the "over-nerfing" I was worried about.

Yeah I was totally expecting drastic changes seeing how different the demo was from the final release. Sieg and Ivy were horribly nerfed.

Glad this is what the good players are noticing instead of character nerfs. This is what's gonna change the whole game.

It may or may not change things. Currently there is an "unblockable" period of backstepping but not backwalking. But in the patch trailer, in the Pat vs Pyrrha clip, Pat did 1K (hit) into 66B and it CH Pyrrha's backstep. That would indeed be quite a significant change to not be able to backstepG an i21 move at -2.

With more advanced movement techniques, one should be able to cancel that unblockable period, like tekken backdash cancelling. Backdashes are cancellable into 8WR, so you could cancel it with any direction and press G. Cancelling with a side direction could make you sidestep but back or forward should work fine. Hitting 4 during a backdash puts you into the backwalk, which is immediately cancellable into guard, and 6 works because all forward movement can be cancelled with G.
