Hate Speech: PATCH NOTE APOCALYPSE

I'll admit I got a little freaked out when the patch got announced last week but I calmed down and decided I'd just deal with it if my character was nerfed to hell by the patch. Fortunately, she ( Pyrrha ) got off lightly, though with the system changes on top of it and possible hidden changes, I may end up eating my words, ha!

Would have I being upset? Yeah, of course, I'm generally character loyal once I pick my character ( I've remained loyal to Juri in SF4, even though she is generally seen as being mid tier at best. ) I want my character to get better, not worse. That said, I still agree with the nerfs she got, anything that helps make the game less brain dead is a good thing in my books.

I too, will reserve my judgement until I've messed around with things when the patch comes out.
 
As much as they nerfed Maxi's damage (which, honestly, was pretty ridiculous), I feel that he will still play pretty much the same. I'll deal.

What bothers me A LOT is how much they legitimately beat Tira into submission. I honestly don't understand how Namco can go from at least SOMEWHAT listening to the community by toning down Maxi's damage output, to basically making shit up about Tira needing more nerfs than any other character in the game.

It's not the nerfing, so much, as HOW MUCH they nerfed with her. I'll reserve a final judgement until I can see how the couple of buffs she got make things work out.

Why on earth did Tira receive more developer nerfing focus than ANY other character in the game?

For god's sake, Pyrrah is practically untouched!!

Ranking aside, I'm happy that Namco IS taking the time to patch. I'm just a little annoyed when things seem to come completely out of nowhere.
 
It's always better to nerf the few glaring overpowered moves/mechanics/characters rather than to buff everyone else and throw a largely balanced game into total chaos.
 
I abused fuzzy guard whenever possible, and I am glad to see it go. It wasn't gamebreaking, but it was pretty stupid anyway. Could be viewed as a tangible buff to certain characters, too.

Hilde changes seem like gianourmous buffs.
Cervy's BT B+K sounds like it will let us hold G turn around and then iGDR or something. Fun times.

iGDR is already guaranteed in that situation. Likely it'll allow for a 3B. It's basically a non-change; same damage, same degree of difficulty, just 2 ways to get it.
