Percival main here: The reason why the guard crush was taken away was because off certain hits (namely +15 hits like old Zerreissen), he could set up an unblockable combo starter, similar to Belial with his old 214U, though significantly worse due to having to use f.L on standing block and the setup being entirely dependent on your opponent teching the Zerreissen knockdown. It was a gimmick regardless, and it seems with this patch, they wanted less knowledge checks (M Vira install DP, Ferry normal changes, Zeta j.U guard cancel baits, etc.) Hope this clears it up!
A problem with cancelling into 236M off of his pokes at close ranges before this patch was getting swept out of your fireball cancel and the trade being good for your opponent. Now it just counterhits them because of the faster startup. From farther away (fH) you can get some pretty nice conversions off of it if they happen to get hit. Overall 236M is way better now.
I’d also like to say the mid air hitstun change on Macht is much more impactful when it comes to anti air combos. Before you needed air CH and a stock to get a decent anti air combo with M Macht, now you can do his old anti air combo stockless (L Macht) without a counterhit depending on height, get a much better extension afterwards without needing to spend resources, AND he gets a muuuuch better air CH route where he can fit 2 Machts into one combo. Counterhit fH > 214H~M with a stock also kills you dead, you take so much damage. You get a link into cH from his fireball trap range. VERY impactful. You likely already know this but this is for the next person to come along
I'm going down the list of characters in order of the patch notes. This project has also taken way longer than I expected: between labbing the two versions, recording the footage, and then editing it, it'll probably take me into next week to finish when I was hoping to be done tomorrow. Glad you want to see it though! I got some Yuel players I'm chatting with to get more context on changes on well, so I'm hoping to do her justice.
@@cdmangakaYou’re doing for GBVSR what Bafael does for Street Fighter. Thank you so much for your hard work. It’s very appreciated even if the view numbers aren’t that big.

I like alot of these changes. They really didn't need to buff flame carpet. That move is already really strong.
i gave you a like, no like shows up

Will you be doing Yuel soon? I really hope to see breakdown on what she got.
Im curious too because ngl looking at the td.5M and autoguard change I will not be playing that character for fun anymore.

@@cdmangaka Excellent! Will look forward to it. x3
Thanks for your work!

Thank you!
Would it be an interesting mechanic if Percival consumed his stocks to increase the damage of his SBAs?
That could get toxic real fast unless they nerf the damage it does at base.
@@FatherAbroham I think it’s better if 214U stays the move responsible for this mechanic
