I, uh, I think Ky is fine without the j.S cross up in Xrd lol It's not like what he's supposed to be doing. He just has good normals and + frames and a fireball and it's fine.

His air fireball recovery makes them almost useless vs faster characters an issue he hasnt had since x2

Lame. Oh well.I was talking about wanting j.S cross up, air fireball is a thing to look at elsewhere if it is poop.

It's relevant in the sense he needs things to keep momentum in his favor vs the fast characters. Once he gets them down they just gotta play a waiting game til they can escape since his openers as it stands are easy to react to. This has always been Ky's flaw but it's worse in xrd without a good reason to back off to bait with air fireballs anymore.

What's keeping him alive right now is the damage he does off ch for the most part and his good ground normals.

But that's pretty much why people say Faust is a better Ky in Xrd

he still has landing lag after yrc no matter what he does after. YRC air se is almost a waste of meter

I think I remember Brawl Marth having something weird that was similar? lol
Up B to grab the ledge, but if you jump back onto the ledge after, you'd have that extra lag/recovery regardless.

I haven't heard that lol and Faust is just ridiculous anyways. As far as momentum goes Ky is pretty honest but he's okay. I'd rather see other things get toned in the game than just give Ky another mix up.

I'm really bad at Ky lockdown in this game. I was too used to FRC Stunedge so much. : /

Settling on Sol for now just because he fits my style more in this game.

I'd give him is ex j.d again, Air CSE, CSE being brought into the air from yrc, and yrc air fireball recovery fixes.

Man I know it's regressive and all but if xrd was just ac or +r with lovely graphics I would give a shit about playing it. Still think it's a good game tho.

The new rc system while dumb is fun. I don't mind them keeping it. It just sucks some characters got really hurt by some of the reversions. This doesn't really feel like it built off of reload and instead feels pretty inconsistent on character changes and moveset reworkings.

My bigger gripe with Xrd isn't that characters got weaker cause stuff, it's more about how ridiculous and strong a lot of other stuff is. That game is offensive in how much stuff you have to hold in any given situation.

That's GG in a nutshell though

only stuff a bit too much is ram corner stuff, elph corner stuff, millia hs disc double hit

It's worse in Xrd as a whole than in previous versions. New systems plus things being stripped down plus char's having too much piled into their designs with few answers. If that game goes the route of just adding more offense to combat the current stuff, I'll probably never play it. It's not fun to avoid situations rather than have a decent interaction.

You forgot Eddie as a whole, Faust f.S, Chipp KD and YRC stuff. It's all too much.
