Holy fuck, I just saw the reasoning for Gen's nerfs and they are such a huge amount of bullshit:
"We want him to be like old Gen" - No links, no anything to make him like Alpha Gen. But look, they gave him touch of death, only now it does standard unltra damage but it's gray and Gen's go no way to go on the offensive, yay!
"People could bully folks with Mk > Hands loop on block" - What? Easy reversals, Ballrogs jabs, Geifs mix-ups, Seth's (now multiple) free ultras, Akuma's vortex etc... It was one of the least scary things in the game.
"lol, you're a cheat, you use turbo, nobody could ever comprehensibly MK>hands (what mid-kick>hands trial? Who are Honda and Chun?)" - If I ever meet Ono I am going to punch him once in the face for every hour I spent getting my Gen links down.
Also I think one of my favourite parts of the entry was:
"While there were many people who felt that the low jumps made attacking easier, in IV there were a lot of instances where Gen would hit the ground before he could get his attack out, so we made our adjustments with this in mind."
I'm just going to go cry in a corner for several hours now.
