Which Characters Does Punk Think Got THE MOST NERFED?

[@androgynousaardvark7415]

"Gief players are just Gief players." Truer words were never spoken.

[@CineGoodog]

Nope, MenaRD just switched to gief.

[@YunisRajab]

@@CineGoodog Mena was playing Birdie so he's been a grappling guy

[@SHendrixx2]

Respect to Punk for not downplaying Cammy

[@AP-Design]

Chun got more than a slap on the wrist. She’s not bad now, but the bigger damage scaling on some key combo routes and slower back-walk speed means she has to work harder to maintain dealing good damage, and she’s already a technical character.

[@JoeyCentral]

Agreed. Also contrary to what people say, I do not believe her buttons are the best. I think Cammy's buttons are WAY better than Chun Li's buttons and unlike Chun Li, Cammy has a command grab, divekick, plus on block neutral skip, and insane pressure that isnt dependent on drive gage. Oh and she is WAY easier to play. So I dont know why youd pick Chun Li to compete when Cammy is a way better choice.

[@AP-Design]

​@@JoeyCentral Yeah, I wouldn't dispute that.

[@tryingtochangemyways5074]

Chun is my favorite sf character outside of Laura..But I can't pilot her this game to much execution required

[@milton5417]

@@JoeyCentralI sort of agree, but I wouldn’t say Cammy is as strong as you imply. Plus, Chun li has a fireball and plays a more neutral-based, reactive game. If playing a rush down character like Cammy isn’t your style, then she isn’t necessarily the best choice.

[@Kobebeef27]

Blanka carry me to Master rank. So the fact that nobody uses him it helps a lot along with it being a solid character

"(Deejay) hasn't really dropped off too much" All the clips you were showing of Deejay were Fuudo and Xian - Xian is actively looking for a new character and Fuudo mains Ed now.

[@AdrianCHOY]

And then you have Zhen getting 5th at EVO, I think he’s still doing fine

[@kenfajardo6953]

The funny thing is Im a Guile main and have been stuck in high Diamond for a while. Thought id learn JP just for fun as a side character.. No joke, he carried me to Master Rank in a matter of weeks.. just shows that he can still be a menace in lower rank regardless of nerfs lol

[@loganmcgee18]

Chun slapped on the wrist? Yall are fuckin' high. Movement speed nerf. 20% damage scaling to her st.hk (used to be strongest starter) Can no longer do her OD kikoken loops ALSO do 20% scaling now. Scaling done to her SA2 combos. The combos that utilize both of the above btw... so 20%*3 4/6M b.mp/f.mp no longer hit confirmable. You see less Chuns than you see Luke or JP now..

[@verbatim7508]

They slapped Chun on the wrist-that's why she never wins anything and Valmaster and Moke are the only Chuns with noteworthy tournament placements, right? 😭 That's why everyone's playing Chun instead of switching to Ed, Cammy, and Rashid 😭😭

I feel like this was spot on definitely with Ryu because S1 he was okay needed some buffs but capcom added a little bit more sauce to him and now he’s really good

[@Mr_Archer15]

When was this filmed? Like right after evo?

[@TimeEnthusiast]

I’m not sure but they mentioned the UFA Ryu win so it must be recent.

[@siegd.warrens451]

Was playing Tekken 8 before Akuma update, then back and was confused on where is Luke and JP gone to cuz usually You would often see both. Then continue the ranked grind with Ken again, I totally thought I was doing so bad with SF6 now that I kept failing my input with Ken (later I found out they change a move's input read) after the move fixed then I can do combo normally again. Ken to me doesn't change that much, like he is still strong let's be honest here and got him to diamond 2 days ago. Now time to switch to other character, Terry seems interesting though (I hope...)

[@JoeyCentral]

So glad to see everyone calling out the bullshit about Chun Li getting slapped on the wrist. She got hit way harder than that. They probably just got molly whopped by Moke (who BTW would have won many more tournaments if he picked an actual top tier) using Chun Li and was like "yup Chun Li is top tier."

[@weedandwater]

Is there a more recent patch than the one in may?

[@mechanicalpants]

There was a minor balance patch with release of Terry, but not all characters received changes, although many still did, it seems that they only got 1 or 2 small things (buff or nerf) and nothing like the big patch in May

[@Rachis01]

Missed opportunity to say "Jamie is drinking this patch!"

[@Mack9077]

I was a Luke player, biggest problem with playing with him now is perfect knuckle combos aren’t worth the precise timing anymore. I rather just play with someone else that don’t rely on perfect timing to get mediocre damage

@@ΚρανίΩ no dude, I´ve been playing with AKI since she came out, her damage is almost the same. She didn´t got more harmful combos she just got acces to the tools she barely used when she came out.

[@evilded2]

The ability to link to stand light kick absolutely increased her damage. There are so many scenarios where you wouldn't have been able to convert into m & h whip before.

[@gerardesc7221]

@@evilded2 her connecting to standing light kick only helps her to connect to medium lash and the bubble. Like I said her damage is almost the same. If the opponent is not poisoned then the light kick doesn´t add a lot of a damage.

[@evilded2]

@@gerardesc7221 I have to assume your trolling or didn't play aki in season one but just in case I'll inform you. H whip is the best ender if the opponent isn't poisoned but is very unsafe so you want to be able to hit confirm it. There were many situations in season one where you would connect with crouching LP at a range where (due to pushback) a second crouch LP wouldn't reach. This meant you could not safely cancel into H whip. This was not an uncommon situation since you would like to use c LP to frame trap, after forward HK for instance, after the first jab however you would end up in the situation above. The buff to her conversion ability now means she is getting significantly more damage in this interaction where she would have got almost nothing before.

He clearly doesn't play DeeJay. DeeJay had the worst and most unnecessary Nerfs since release. Luke and JP were OP and deserved nerfs. Yet they received less severe nerfs than DeeJay. DeeJay struggled with anti airs, so they nerfed his anti airs... DeeJay could do a lot of damage on punish counter so they gave a huge nerf to his st hp with a 20% combo damage reduction if you start with it. But he can still get the same damage with cr. hp. So all they did was nerf his neutral game, st. hp being his longest normal. St hp st lk sobat kick is one of his main combos in neutral. Now the damage is pitiful.
