Cen saying AE plays aggressive like 3rd Strike? Sounds good to me.
Keep in mind this is coming from a Honda character who can't play vanilla/super style honda anymore :lol :lol Not holding down-back is probably a whole new world to him LOL.
Hmm, I think with certain characters having buffs (mak, dudley, sak, hakan, etc.) and the 2 twins having good offense there's a varied representation, but at the same time, a lot of offense was also removed from the game (cammy going from mixup -> counterhit, gief losing mixup, Ibuki's mixup getting nerfed, rufus losing full damage on U2 AA making jump back not as scary against him, etc. etc.)
If anything, the offense is just being transferred from one group of characters to another, so it just feels new hence his statement.
The game was already a lot more offensive and footsie oriented than 3rd strike though at top level play, so the comparison doesn't really matter too much. You look at top 8 EVO matches or top 8 matches from any major really, and it's a lot more offense oriented than Yun running away until he gets genei jin, or Chun just being a bitch of a wall non stop.
