You're absolutely right. A blocked drive reversal, on a burnt out opponent, is -2 now. It's pretty safe to say that recklessly burning out, to put the opponent in the corner, is a thing of the past (I'm looking at you Luke).

Problem is they buffed everybody else. Her biggest combo starters got scaled 20%. I’ve been finding workarounds, but gaining is tough at the moment. The ‘hard work’ gettin put back in Kung Fu FR.

[@MDToboggan]

You just have to sub out the stand heavy kick from your combos and change your routes it's not the end of the world. The characters that got stronger this patch were also the ones that were already weak and needed buffs so it's not like a character that was in her tier placement last season got buffed and surpassed her in fact Deejay, JP, Luke etc all got nerfed harder. The only thing that will probably be different this season is the bad characters that already lost to her probably just lose slightly less now.

[@paulc7400]

Damn, 5HK felt so good to punish with.

[@alexferrier5732]

​@@paulc7400Ikr, it had that "oomph" you could feel the impact and the animation looks powerful too, a strong high kick to the face, it was fun and satisfying. Now I have to punish a DP with weak ass crHP (does only 100dmg less than the old bnb, it is not weak on numbers, but weak on animation and feel of impact). I don't think stHK nerf was necessary.

He did use Heavy Kicks but you have the option of canceling it early instead of waiting for the entire move to finish. For some, it's a safer way to go into level 3.

[@beauleidig8670]

Personally, I've always felt that nerfing is the laziest way to "balance" a game. I think the better way of handling things is to leave the high tiers alone, and buff the low tiers up to match. This way, you achieve the balance without completely screwing with peoples play styles. But, I'm just some guy on the internet.

[@SuperShado101]

I think its good to nerf in this game because most characters feel pretty strong and fun to play, but the top tiers have game changing moves like amnesia, luke cr.mp, dee jay drive rush, that separate them from everyone else

[@beauleidig8670]

@@SuperShado101 I get that. My point is that instead of nerfing those moves, or taking them out completely, why not give the other characters something they can do to even the odds?

[@alexferrier5732]

That is what capcom exactly said some months ago, that they were rather gonna focus on buffing the low tier than nerfing the top tiers, and they did buff the low tiers, and ended up nerfing the top tier just as they have always done, essentially having the same balance approach they have always has in their fighting games. I was excited for the new balance approach they said they were gonna take, only for them to backtrack on that statement and doing the same.

[@emperormegaman3856]

@Allexferier I don't think Capcom meant they would not nerf at all though. Merely that they would buff more rather than nerd heavily. Which they did. Sure they nerfed Chun, JP, etc, but they moreso buffed Ali, Ed, Ryu etc.

[@emperormegaman3856]

@Beauleidig it's not lazier to do one or the other. It requires about as much thought on the devs part. Now, it is less satisfying for a player to see their main nerfed (something even a casual like me can understand), but sometimes a nerf is necessary, if you just attempt to buff everyone you could just end up making the whole game more chaotic. And sometimes a character is legit doing stuff that weren't intended. But I'm just some casual on the internet. I make no claim of speaking the undisputable truth.

No keep the work it's worth it ! Try to see how to work around the st.HP. We can now chip the drive gauge with it and still be safe (-3 on block now). Also great button to whiff punish with safer hurtbox, and is now + on block after drive rush !

[@alexferrier5732]

​@@TabootrinketI have to respectfully dissagree on the stHP buff, it feels unnoticeable and was definitely not worth the trade of losing stHK dmg. StHP was always unpunishable before with the minor sense of spacing, you never did it point blanc where it was punished by light buttons anyways. And the being + on block with drive rush I thought it was gonna change her meatie game specially midscreen since drive rush stHP leads into bHP and it is too good a combo, but guess what? That was only some training mode stuff, in practicity, her old meaties are still better and need no drive rush. You just have to see any pro-Chun matches now and see nobody is using stHP neither as a neutral tool nor as a meatie, it is just not better than what we had before. I would trade back old stHK for this new stHP any day of the week tbh.

I don’t think you can be low tier with a fireball into drive rush or a cancelable crouch medium kick. Chun just has to work a little harder for her big damage and her amazing neutral is slightly more whiff punishable.

Conditioning an opponent seems to be a key in gameplay because I’m able to get away with much more from them being afraid of making the wrong move and respecting me lol. I’m only a platinum so take any advice from me as you see fit but over time with getting better, I’ve learned to look out for their favorite things to do instead of just looking for my own openings to do something. Like how they setup their favorite combos. Stop them a bit playing good neutral and they gain the paranoia/respect towards you making the fight a little easier. Hope that helps!
