The Rainwater nerf was brutal. It made Axl's offense, combo variety and reward much worse. The few buffs he got were simply not enough to compensate for lost strenght and lost sauce.
I'm sorry but 5/5 for axl is straight up insulting. He didn't need 6k into rensen, when we literally had mantis to do the same job and he didn't need corner combos from whistling Wind, when we had RAINWATER !!!
Didn't even mention the actual Jack-O change. Dash cancelling off the kick is cool, but the nerf to sweep is going to force anyone still playing her to relearn most of their setups, because if they involved a sweep, they probably don't work anymore.
Yeah, Jack-O's change is hard to understand the reasoning on- really feel like the character favoritism of the patch hurt her, because what does this patch do when she was already a pressure monster- she just... doesn't get oki for some reason? It just seems like such a pointless change.
Axl is not event close to a 5/5. The charge input change was nice (I stopped playing with him because of it), but I would not consider it a very significant buff, more like quality of life or a buff for new players, and the Rainwater brutal nerf was greatly underserved.
Gonna be honest the scapegoat changes do hurt some of my old corner sets up on HC. I do see the reason for the changes even though you could get through clone by gatling. My issue is the fact that the move still takes health for what is essentially a back dash. It seems like a small amount but it was a good trade off for essentially pre taking a hit to have advantage. With that utility gone I can’t really find a reason to use scapegoat. 35:58
I love listening to you talk about things like this, it's really nice. I think there might be a way to streamline some of the buff/nerf stuff, but it was very solid. Hearing your honest take on not just good or bad changes, but where you think the character stands afterward this patch was the most enjoyable parts for sure.
Many Millia players will not agree with you. Earlier backdash cancel gives practially nothing for the opponent to worry about. And Kapel nerf is brutal. Everyone got huge damage buffs and Millia got only 15 EHP, she dies evem faster now. And the damage buffs she got barely increase her damage, but change all of her optimals.
I just got the game and damn am having a blast, I don’t know a thing about the balance so I don’t have a opinion yet. But I love the characters and goddamn the story is so fucking cool anime of the year
Kizzie, calling Axl's changes a 5/5 is actually a sin, bro the rainwater change legitimately ruined him in exchange for making rensen a quarter circle so it can go into 6k . The minor buffs he received absolutely didn't warrant them gutting rainwater .
I'm sorry but I think SOL isn't even close to 5/5, he's a 3/5 at best, his changes just made him go from one combo method to another, and removing the full screen effect Vortex, causing him loosing one of his good tools of getting close to Zoners during them shooting projectile is awful.
Test got all the changes last patch. This patch just rounded out a couple things. They play so much different overall, but not from THIS patch. But the combo of things means Test's throw is a menace now. Safe jumps, stain pop, teleport strike throw shenanigans...
14:50 bruh I understand being compeltely wrong about 214H being good but like, every faust ever is calling that nerf a buff because he now comes back towards instead of walking off in many situations Genuinly would struggle to find a competent faust player who doesn't think the change is a shadow buff
Idk if we'll see people doing air throw until they give us good oki off air throw. I play Leo and the best oki he can get off an air throw is like a close slash meaty. Ground throw puts you in backturn and even if it didn't you'd be able to 236H whiff and do a bt.K meaty which would be huge. They're giving some characters better air throw oki but it's gotta be all characters man
Pot is A LOT STRONGER than you think. They literally reverted him to +R with Strive Damage. HFB will be the replacement of Kara and since HFB will carry the armor frame of HF, this will enable for 2S>HFB pressure you used to see in old school guilty gear. Now, one change that you failed to mention is F.D.B. The change to F.D.B literally flipped A LOT OF HIS MATCHUP. Ram, Faust, I-No, HC, AND ASUKA are now among his best matchup especially Asuka. 90% of Asuka moveset got flicked including his 2D AND HIS DP making this is one of a few 8-2 or 9-1 matchup. Ram can't abuse her sword toss because Pot CAN FLICK THE SWORD TOSS AND THE EXPLOSION NOW. I-No Chemical Love is flickable now and Flick can even work vs. crossup as well. HC gunshot is now flickable including his crossup gunshot and steady aim. All of Faust items are now flickable including Mini Faust and Trumpet Mini Faust, Hammer, Meteor and Banana Peel. Another change was Slide Head now does damage and got guard crush property back. You will get some W because somebody forgot about that move doing damage.

bruh gave millia 4/5 and ram 3/5 lmao
Bros gotta be trolling lol
@@dazmo4348 yep. On video: pot beat millia just 1:9 MU

Adding timestamps would be 5/5
I don't understand how hes rating the changes. Axl and millia were already weak characters that got nerfed so why do they get such high ratings?
Axl lost a lot of potential with the rainwater nerf :(
Its been 4 years, that potential never came. Let it be.
Many Millia players will not agree with you.

7:10 yeah let’s remove what mains of this character like so people who don’t play him will pick him up and play him. What a joke from arcsys

Sol 5/5 rework as Tatuma an evo finalist gets his ass beat in the background by a random happy chaos
It's taken from the game storage channel, they pick specific games to make a close looking set, and he was going even.
I'm annoyed that Sin got all these changes and they still didn't touch the eat move.....
Gave Sol and Axl a 5/5 but gave Ky a 2/5 LMAOOOOOOO
I'm sorry but I think SOL isn't even close to 5/5, he's a 3/5 at best, his changes just made him go from one combo method to another, and removing the full screen effect Vortex, causing him loosing one of his good tools of getting close to Zoners during them shooting projectile is awful.

Teleport strike throw is fake unless u meaty crow. And we might have worse matchups than last patch too
@whitemoth4339 yeah, it still creates a lot of guessing games.
6P nerf hurts a lot though
I see Kizzie dropped. I click
14:50 bruh I understand being compeltely wrong about 214H being good but like, every faust ever is calling that nerf a buff because he now comes back towards instead of walking off in many situations

I'm probably late but the haircut is OD!!!
the loss of bandit revolver is criminal for sol. He is missing something that gives him forward momentum meterless for confirms.
Anything recent about match ups
This guy is wrong with everything, Chipp is now extremely inconsistent, Anda have less routes with the cHS nerf.
Where does he talk about Potemkin
Nice video
Totally unbalanced game. Biased developers and community.

i do not like the new sin whatsoever :(
this video makes no sense.
I have a hard time giving a like to any video of this type that's this long that doesn't have time stamps. Enjoying the video otherwise though.
Yo
Blah blah blah millia bufs so strong blah blah blah.
video:
Delete this trash potemkin rework
Sol went from solid to ass, he never was broken.
thats some mad revisionism lol
Tell me you didn't play this game @ launch without telling me
@@nlm7033bruh tell you don’t even play the game without telling me deadass
Dude ram is broken. Like actually. Watch ram or sqs video.
Wish they removed the guard crush on beak and hoof in exchange for the old stamina🥲
im sayin 😢
Sin should be able eat to get stamina back all they’d have to do is tweak its frames and he work well
