they have addressed fuzzy guard, QS4G.
Maxi gets lots of damage nerfs
Natsu gets some nerf, her biggest nerf is WR K being less safe and linear, she retain most of her damage moves (bombs).

- Buffering time has decreased when you get hit by the opponent character. This is to avoid attacking when you accidentally hit buttons after getting hit. Direction key/pad buffer time has not changed.
Awesome, I've had this happen so many times.
- Fixed character's guard burst damage not recovering between rounds. Characters that were affected: Voldo, Astaroth, Raphael, Tira, Algol, Z.W.E.I., Patroklos, αPatroklos, Xiba, and Ezio.
Wow, that's pretty bad... and of course Raphael is on that list
- Unblockable frame duration is now longer during the back step. No change in moving distance and speed.
Does this mean I'm going to get punished even more for trying to move?
EDIT: and did they not nerf the damage on Natsu's air throw? That shit is insane.

I saw someone on 8wayrun say that the developers thought she was broken. I don't play her so I can't really say.
I'm not too happy either with some of the changes to Raphael. SE got nerfed for some reason, Prep K is even more unsafe now even if it gives stun on CH and 22_88B is probably unsafe now.
The new stun from CH 6BBB/Prep BBB is cool though.
Uhm, quite the opposite. You are more safe when back stepping.
Here's what they are saying on 8wayrun:
So the time before you can block has been increased. That's how I read it at least.

If I had the time, I'd draw Aeon dancing in a rain of buffs (with one little damage nerf in the corner).
There are some pretty funny joke patch notes here: http://www.toptiertactics.com/2012/03/leaked-soul-calibur-5-patch-notes-1-01/#ixzz1pQjKiTm7

I thought Tira would be buffed (at least her Jolly stance), not nerfed to the ground.
Same here. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the people who create the game have no idea how to balance it. Reminds me of Capcom with Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom.

Sorry. I couldn't hear you over all the buffs my main got!
Stay salty, my friends.

At least now she has a better reason to be gloomy.

Soul of Devil Jin:
A.A.B (Flash Punch Combo): shortened opponents freeze on 1st attack hit. 3rd can no longer connect into a combo when 2nd attack misses (even if 1st attack hits). Same change to 6A (Jab).
3K.B.K (Rengoku): created distance after 3rd attack hits. This will make During Fly A+B easier to evade. Same change to 7K.
666K (Leaping Side Kick): changed property from Mid to High. Every character can now duck 666K.
While standing A.B (Twin Pistons): launch height lowered on hit.
66K.A.2K (Demon Cyclone): lengthened opponents freeze on 2nd attack counter hit. Decreased 3rd attacks ring out range.
During Advanced Step B (Rising Uppercut): launch height lowered on counter hit.
During Advanced Step A.9 (Heavens Door): ring out range has been decreased. Same change to During Advanced Step aA+B+K.9 (Heavens Door).
a+gA+B+K (Obliteration): lowered rise in critical gauge.

I bless down the rain down in Africaaaa ~
Lost ring out range, the height in which characters got launched is reduced for some moves, his 666+K is now a high and it's now a bit more easier to dodge lasers. No mention of any changes to DVJ's 3AB:A+B+K > EWGF though.

So, pretty much Xiba's nerfs were to make a lot of stuff unsafe/more unsafe if I understand correctly? :/

Essentially the same, except you can't spam the hell out of Angel Strike without getting smacked for it. That's fine with me as Pyrrha didn't really need any buffs or nerfs imo.

Alpha Pat is pretty much unchanged, aside from 1B:B being harder to do (but doing more damage). Oh joy.

Well everyone else got nerf.. so that's a plus for him.
At least your main didn't got buff into FOTM, people (including me) are already getting upset with since they over buff her into S tier.

I think he needs to be tightened up right now before adding extra stuff. He's got some surprisingly good damage and tricks, problem is ZWEI is so slow at the moment and it can be difficult to land unlike all the other characters. Like his 1k is stupidly unsafe when it would be safe on any other character.

Patch is out in NA on PSN, just got it a few minutes ago.
Tira notes:
- JS 6A, B is no longer a combo at ANY range
- JS 2A, B no longer knocks down on B hit but they still get pushed back a bit.
- Mood change rate on A+B is pretty bad now, even A+B held. It's pretty much useless given the high self-damage incurred. Taunt might be more reliable now.
- QCF K BE still mood changes most of the time. Sometimes fails.
- JS 66B BE hardly mood changes now. With additional changes to GS 4K and GS BT B+K stuff like GS 4K, JS 66B BE, GS B+K, 66B BE is pretty much removed.
- GS 3B, 4A still combos, but 3B, 4A, 3A, A does not.
- GS 3B, 4A, 4K, 66B still combos and with the buff to GS 4K and 666B this is apparently the Namco approved combo now. *rolleyes*
- GS 3B, 4A, CE still combos, but timing is weird
- 6K still seems to duck under highs pretty well
- Haven't really gone into specific frame advantage changes, but I bet they're bad.
- GS 44A now mood changes most of the time on whiff or block.
- JS CE damage buff is a whopping 7 damage.
Fuck you Namco.

So Viola is looking is still looking okay? She looks a bit stronger as far as I can tell.
I love how detailed these patch notes are, but it's pretty hard to understand from the perspective of someone who does not play these games seriously(yet...).
I've been on the fence when it comes to this game for a while, but I really liked playing Hilde when I borrowed the game from my cousin.

You mean vanilla Marvel vs Capcom? The only real bad buffs in ultimate were Wesker glasses, Zero buffs and Phudaaaive.
She did? I get the sense that she got some some nerfs, but not this bad.

Weird thought; I wonder if they adjusted the scripts for the AI in the arcade routes, and in quick battle.. it would be funny to see them attempt combos that no longer work, but behave as if they do.

It is any good?
Well shit, I didn't realize that Raphael can no longer combo 3BBB after hitting 22_88B. That really sucks. 11_BB or 66A+B are his best options now.
33_99KBE into CE does pretty damn good damage though if you have the meter.
I finally had some time to try the online. Apparently I'm not considered a beginner, I got kicked at least 3 times for "trolling" with my beginner title. I haven't played since 3 and I've never played the game against anyone but my brother :/ Oh well.
I probably didn't pick the best character to start with too, it's been really frustrating but I think I'm starting to get comfortable with Raphael now.

Don't know, and quite honestly I'm not really motivated to find out.
Not going to be playing this game for a while either.

So, it's not just me? It seems like they've kind of broken the ranking match search with this patch. Although, I guess it might have just been the inconsistent release of the path throughout different regions. Maybe after everyone has gotten the path the ranking match feature will go back to working as usual.
Tira got killed more than any other character in this patch. Maxi just got damage nerfs, Leixia got some frame nerfs and a slight nerf to her WR B(BE), Natsu got move property nerfs to break some of her OP combos...
But Tira got hit by all of that AND she can no longer guarantee stance changes with her brave edges. Namco done destroyed her. Pisses me off enough to not bother playing this for a bit.
