So after some time in arcade mode, getting the feel for the game again and learning some new characters, I have to say a lot of the jumps feel very floaty now, at least compared to Extend.
When I was trying out Jin I noticed how drastically the moveset has changed. It basically feels like a new character now. Amane seems like he would be capable of a lot of full-screen cheese. Terumi's meter gain is crazy fast. So much has changed, not that I was ever a top tier player or anything, but I'm really back to basics.
Also, man I suck.
