Official Soulcalibur V 1.02 Patch Notes!

I see people in here literally crying "wtf, they nerfed Yoshi!?" when the only *nerf* Yoshi received was tweaking the damage of ONE of his abilities by a whopping SIX damage! We have no idea how many frames they tacked on to it.

Yoshi was already severely nerfed from SC4 to SC5. He's playable, but no where near what he used to be. The few remaining Yoshi mains (many have moved on to better characters) were hopeful that he'd be buffed at least a little, but instead they nerf him even more. Granted, the nerfs mean nothing since Indian Stance teleports are useless anyway, but the point is that a character who was already lacking, is now lacking even more.

I think most non-Ivy, non-Yoshi players would rate the characters about equal pre-patch. But yet, Ivy gets major buffs while Yoshi actually gets nerfed.

All that aside... How does PS not give ZWEI a bunch of buffs? Unless 3A is advantage on block, that buff doesn't really do much for him. The 3B BE buff doesn't do much, and unless B+K reaches across the screen, that's a useless buff as well. So arguably the worst character in the game gets 3 useless buffs, while Ivy (who won the first major) gets a ton of buffs... WTF?!

because, namco dr.dogg, because namco.

although i am never for a game getting patched this early (look at what all the patches did to mk9 scene). this patch isnt too bad, i feel leixia and tira were hit a little too hard . but those are the break with namco when they nerf/buff chars...... still feel the game is lacking until i see some patch note that in big neon lights ALL HITBOX ISSUES FIXED . but coming from namco that is a fantasy i will never see imagined. oh well
 
Like I've said elsewhere on the site, I'm really surprised that Pyrrha got off so lightly. Apart from making the stab and CE more unsafe on block, she is still the same. I can say that I'm happy with that.

I can't say the Natsu nerfs were undeserved, she was a bit too strong imo. However, I really feel bad for Tira players, she was nerfed needlessly. It wasn't like she was that strong to begin with, imo.
