[JayEH]

Balrog screw upper being DP motion is ass.

 

[Renekton]

So confirmed all the S2 characters after Akuma are "new to the universe"

 

[Khezu]

5 new characters are Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Cable, and Doctor Doom.

 

[CountBlack]

deejay's friend is coming I know it

No Gil?!?!?

 

[Justinh]

thanks, the fgc sucks at gathering changes and posting them to one place

I wish they'd do what Killer Instinct has been doing and just having a long ass presentation of them showing off every change and how it can affect gameplay and situations...

I don't play Killer Instinct more than once in a blue moon and not online, but I find that thing they do when they run down the changes fascinating.

Also, yes thank you OP for trying to come up with a definitive list of changes

 

[Son Of D]

Wait, so does that mean they're all newcomers?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Dhalsim: gets buffs not from being low tier, but instead from being severely underplayed.

Still, nowhere in them patch notes was standing strong being CCed by Necalli's sweep or other such shenanigans.

 

[ElFly]

Zangief needs more than this, particularly against a faster Dhalsim

but maybe the other changes are subtler

 

[Westlo]

Eh.... their strike rate on new characters in IV and V isn't that great....

 

[ElFly]

Eh.... their strike rate on new characters in IV and V isn't that great....

Hakan and Juri were legit tho

Rashid is cool and Fang would be ok if the in game model wasn't bad

 

[TheSpoiler]

The only characters I've seen people universally hate is El, Rufus, and sometimes Hakan. As for V, most people seem to like the newbies besides FANG sometimes.

[Rice-Eater]

They're posting a sneak peak of the balance changes on the capcom unity blog tomorrow, so hopefully we get a lot of new stuff

Are these balance changes final? No feedback from fans or anything?

I'd be kind of surprised if that were the case but so be it. Just don't make us wait long. Release it at the end of the month or beginning of next month at the latest. We don't need to wait till February for this to drop.

 

[hertog]

Where are my Birdie buffs?

 

[sixteen-bit]

looking forward to the Capcom Unity blog post with the changes

hopefully Laura buffs

 

[paolo11]

From XSK_Samurai (ryu player at capcup).

Ryu changes #SFV S2 (one game test):
-V-Reversal is negative on hit.
-Throw has no follow up (no more throw loops).
-DP 4f not invinc. (1/2)

-Normals feel a lot slower.
-V-Trigger activation = frame data changes (faster normals).
-Damage nerf all around(?).
-st.lk is still 4f

Dp not invisible?

That plus the damage nerf huh...

 

[Celcius]

Will there be a patch for ps4 pro to fix the shadow dithering? Has Capcom said anything regarding this?

 

[Eternal Flame]

Whatever they settle with, I hope they keep the less nerfs more buffs approach.

 

[Jenenser]

Means no nerfs yet!

(Schrodinger?)

xD

dunno what they should/could nerf effectively.
i rather hope they buff her a little bit. atleast make her exthrow useful...

 

[Neoxon]

Guile's V-Trigger is now 2 bars instead of 3.

 

[Kashiwaba]

Guile's V-Trigger is now 2 bars instead of 3.

FML!!!!! His v trigger was over powered already

 

[ColonialHawk]

FML!!!!! His v trigger was over powered already

I for one welcome our 2-bar Vtrigger overlord.

Pretty much confirms the intent of weakening lights as AA, reducing pressure off of throws and removing meterless invincible reversals.

 

[Neoxon]

America's taking over SFV in the CPT. Might as well let freedom reign in-game, too.

 

[HardRojo]

Is it true Nash V trigger now requires 3 bars?

 

[Raylan Targaryen]

Is it true Nash V trigger now requires 3 bars?

No?

There's a picture like 4 posts above yours

 

[ElFly]

Maybe guile can throw less sonic booms during v trigger to compensate?

Would not be surprised if Capcom wanted to reduce the overlong combos guile can do currently

I hope not, they're so hype!

 

[abstract alien]

Zangief is going to need a Guy style command run in order to fight Guile now.

 

[mooncakes]

Its a glorious day for Ibuki


Here is some buffs currently by F-word:

• Ex Kunai restock gives 3 kunais
• + on St mk
• can press any normal from her glide.

[Neoxon]

Urien's j.LK is now a cross-up.

 

[m_shortpants]

Urien's j.LK is now a cross-up.

Oh....SHITTTTT!!

Should be interesting.

 

[mnz]

Did they change Ryu's j.lk?

 

[jett]

Eh you made me think this was an official list of changes.

 

[kunonabi]

well...now i don't have any character to play in sf 5. rip mika

It is depressing to see her get hit so hard. Maybe espn was tired of seeing her in grand finals.

 

[Menitta]

Cammy:

- All dive kicks looked nerfed on block except V-Trigger version.

Damnit...

 

[cackhyena]

I really wish jab as an anti air was a completely gone. I only found it useful in 4 to negate dive kicks at certain angles. You should have to work harder to keep people out, imo.

 

[Neoxon]

Oh....SHITTTTT!!

Should be interesting.

Indeed it will be. Now I can't wait for Season 2's balance patch to drop.

 

[Vex_]

still trying to figure out who complained about cammy why she got nerfed. She was fine the way she was. And ken got nerfed HARD too holy shit.

On top of that, they took out the trademark I-frames from DPs across the board? Someone at capcom wants to jump in on wake up alot and got mad.

 

[HardRojo]

No?

There's a picture like 4 posts above yours

Lol for some reason I thought only Guile's was visible. Great to know.

 

[Sesha]

The only characters I've seen people universally hate is El, Rufus, and sometimes Hakan. As for V, most people seem to like the newbies besides FANG sometimes.

People basically hate on everything that isn't muscled badasses, cool guys and hot/cute girls. Weirdos and uggos usually only get a pass when enough time has passed that people get nostalgic for them.

I don't see a whole lot of hate for the new Birdie, so I'd go for Rufus being more annoying than anything else.

 

[JayEH]

I think boxer deserves a cross up too

 

[GuileBootCamp]

Urien having a crossup is a pretty scary change, the more I think about it.

 

[Sayad]

FML!!!!! His v trigger was over powered already

This might actually be a nerf, it probably deplete faster and it's very likely he wont fill more than one per round.

 

[- J - D -]

Cammy nooooo.

Ibuki buffs yesssssss.

 

[Neoxon]

Urien having a crossup is a pretty scary change, the more I think about it.

AND I LOVE IT!!!!

 

[sephi22]

But doesn't 2 bar mean he gets less booms per v trigger?
