Is it worth it? Losing one of the hypest and legit interesting and unique v triggers (which i thought was the whole point). I don't care how they frame that shit. That's a legit nerf.
Boom loops were mostly useful as a timer scam. His V-Trigger has a lot of utility, and it being 2 bar is likely a bigger buff than losing the loop is a nerf.
His c.MP having increased knockback is the bigger nerf, but it might open up stuff to work outside of the corner like s.HP, c.MP, Boom, Backfist, or even s.HP, c.MP, Boom, High Kick, Flash Kick, depending on how much later the Boom hits, now.
Also, c.HP being a crush counter is a major buff for two reasons:
1. Guile arguably relies on his c.HP more than anyone else in the game. It being a crush counter opens up for him to get big damage off of it as an anti-air, assuming it launches like his s.HP currently does. Since he won't have to drop charge, it'll also be easier to juggle into a raw super.
2. Assuming s.HP keeps properties similar to what it has now, s.HP->s.HP->BnB->Super combos would be possible on counter hit, or it would just be an easier hit confirm into big damage, given that his potential damage with it was a bit limited by the CC launch, before. I do suspect that s.HP might be changed to something like a 9f startup, +6 on hit, 0 or +1 on block, though, to keep it from being too strong.
