We have Evo to represent the US scene. East coast players travel really far for that. Why can't they do the same?

今回は全体的なバランスを考慮して無敵時間の削減を行っています。Zanken said:
For this revision, after taking overall balance into consideration, an invincibility time reduction has been done.
Bolded is the key word, which means reduction (not elimination). I don't know much about her i-frames during UC2, but they didn't flat out say that it's been eliminated.

The only big nerf I see with Ibuki is with her jump back kunai thing. Don't play Ibuki, but it would seem the improvements on her normals might make up for nerfs to damage and such unless they nerfed damage hard.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but as-is her U2 only has 1 frame of invincibility. I'm assuming they either took out her invincibility during ultra freeze or added recovery frames afterwards where she's vulnerable to meaties and such.

I thought Rose had instant recovery on U2 instead of invincibility.

IMO no. The only really detriments I see are losing damage and stun on neckbreaker. The kunai damage being reduced is weird, though, since it doesn't really do that much damage when it DOES hit.
He falling straight down from a jump back kunai is fine, because it gives her a bit more chance to avoid fireballs if you're trying to lame it out at the end of a match.
I really like seeing her s.lk and s.mk each coming out a frame faster. She'll have more link opportunities for that, since her poking game is rather crummy and her damage output isn't that high, either. I can already see linking to c.lp into a standing s.lk or s.mk, maybe a s.lk-mk-hk TC and follow-up.

Gray damage for Gouken's back throw stuff?
did they shorten the tech time to make up for this?
did they shorten the tech time to make up for this?
The important points from the Q&A:
Chun-Li
-No changes to EX Legs, but because the hitboxes of some characters have been changed, there should be more cases where it's easier to land
El Fuerte
-Tortilla has no invincibility, not hit, not projectile
Sakura
-All her changes weren't listed last week, since she had such a large section, but her backdash's ground frames have been revised (assuming to be in line with the other backdash changes)
Cody
-Almost all his changes were covered in last week's blog, so otherwise, he's the same as his Super iteration. No improvements to walk speed, no reduction to special move recovery, and no improvements to the knife itself. (The three things the person specifically asked about)

Cost seems to be the big difference (and location). I priced a ticket to Vegas from NYC, and it was $400+ to fly around the dates of Evo (I chose July 8-12). The same dates going from Montreal to Calgary is like $600+.
The Cannons don't hold Evo in the location of Battle By the Bay anymore but Vegas. It makes it easier for Phoenix, SoCal, Texas, etc players to get there.
The only players who were really able to go to Canada Cup was Edmonton/Calgary. It was great to build the scene but it wasn't indicative of a Canada championship since Montreal and Toronto weren't there.
Maybe the reason Kadey cited is one of the reasons why those players didn't come. But my understanding is there has been a scene in Toronto/Montreal for awhile (and they've come to US tournaments).
Nice costumes. Want, want, want.

Sakura's hair looks really silly in the new alt. Maybe it's just the angle.

Jump back kunai is interesting. Wonder if you can combo into it after doing it instantly now since you fall down right away. Possibly instant jump back kunai > cr. Hk > s. HK tc?
Interesting. After reflecting more, the damage nerfs aren't that bad since most of characters are getting damage nerfs. Or am I wrong? Also, on the 3rd TC4 to neckbreaker, people get stunned before the neckbreaker even happens, so you would get the stun once you complete the neckbreaker.
Was hoping for a faster cr. Mp though.

If all you want was to see was East Coast Canada play, Montreal has that Nemesis 2 tournament in January. Sp00ky played the teaser for that a few times on the stream.Spiderjericho said:

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Gonna have fun watching The Gootecks play as Rose with her new costume

There's going to be a really fine line between fixing her karakusa (either range or priority) and making it OP. As it stands now I feel there's so much potential when you're able to land one. Most of the matches I play I tend to dominate fast, or get dominated fast, many of those dependent on how reliable I can karakusa or play mind games around it.
The recovery is a bit much, and if that was decreased a bit I'd be cool with everything else being the same. It's too easily punishable with it's current properties. But it still should not be beaten by normal throws.jlai said:

We have the best Gen apparently, too :lol.
Until I kill a bunch more Sentinels in the Danger Room, my Cammy would get blown up by some above-average Rog or Fei
Learning Fei matchup a bit more though, and will redownload the Rog matchup. My files got corrupted while trolling with Sakura and Ken for a bit. Will see how much I remember in December, going straight Black Ops until then. Need a soft reset. I haven't seen an Akuma better than Shin's in the country so far. He just has to download a couple more matchups - I still take him over anyone except Air or a surprising FeiLong lol.
If they hosted it here, there wouldn't be anything to do after the tourney and in between days, Winnipeg's fun scene aint the funnest IMO. Maybe it's just "grass is greener" but I'm pretty sure it's not.
As for where it's held, as long as it's not some Ice Hell, it'd be just as awesome. Would be cool to get more East representation but hey, life goes on. Tourney was great with just a handful, and I think as every regional scene levels up, it will only get better.
And although JS is the best, Canada does have other great players. Lots in the East, some out West and in the Prairies too, all of whom I think can go (and have gone in other games) toe to toe with the US's best.
Re: Changes - altogether, I think matches are going to take even longer in AE. Everything sounds like less damage/stun
Maybe they think that'll open up the offense? Just makes me think people will block more since it'll be an even better option. Glad they gave Gouken something.

Rose is getting all Moulin Rouge up in here.
Maybe it's because I play a 900 health/stun character, but I don't see the problem with this. As it is now in Super I see rounds ended with the timer still at 85 or above all the freaking time, and not just scrubs getting mashed out but good players who just made one or two mistakes. I seriously doubt we are going to see that many more time out rounds because of a few nerfs to damage and stun.Killa Sasa said:Re: Changes - altogether, I think matches are going to take even longer in AE.
