The notes don't say bullet hitbox has been expanded. The notes say Victor's hurtbox has been expanded when using bullet moves. It's labeled as a nerf in the patchnotes because this means certain moves by the opponent (don't ask me which) won't whiff anymore when used during his bullet moves.
I've found that you can get much higher combo damage using that Iai 4, 2 now. But the trick is to bound before you do it, not after. A combo I figured out after testing for a little bit was df2 launch: df4, 2 -> Iai 2 (tornado) -> df4, 2 -> Iai 4, 2 -> db1, 1 into perfumer -> perfumer 1+2. This is 71 damage, pretty good compared to the 65 his usual staple gets. The perfumer 1+2 will also floor break. You can instead end with perfumer 3 for 70 damage, or perfumer 2 for a bit of wall carry. This can be worked into other combos as well, I believe so far the trick is to not exceed 6 hits before doing Iai 4, 2. And being able to heat burst after it means even crazier damage with a f1+2 heat dash u1+2 (84 total if done in the previous combo) db1, 1 and heat burst seem to be the only things that will connect after Iai 4, 2
Those who dont know: Good news guys, they nerfed Victor! Those who know: Damn now he get 8 branches of 50/50 while before Victor players always used to on 3 holy grail : Expulsion! Kulkas! And armored knife spam.
@lightingthief4482 Basically they're changing him from spamming 3 or 4 broken attacks and made him a stance mix up character like he should've always been
And that's why the patch should have been focused straight on nerfs. These "compensating buffs" for half the cast are gonna create a whole new set of problems that weren't there. They keep fixing stuff and then breaking some other, they don't learn.
Better for approach thanks to transition to iai mixup, but worse at close range. Before it was kind of similar to Claudio iWR2 where you could use it in their face if they hesitated a bit, now you'll get launched or stepped every time. Would've preferred if they made it +3 instead of +2 on block though to allow for a few more safe options on block.
The way I use Victor is buffed. I'll have more 50/50 utility and overall versatility. FF 2 into IAi stance to start pressure/mix. D2 in stance +4 now! My combos with gun won't drop. Punch parry! FF2 and U 1+2 was getting side stepped already. I'm liking the changes
Same. Literally the only thing that's changed for me post patch is b1+2 can't whiff punish from quite as far away. Everything else is either irrelevant or an outright buff
@@africankingjon thank you victor may be a beginner friendly character but ppl get around him a lot and plus a lot of characters are just better then him anyways but all you'll hear is complaints about him
He has a 70 damage combo off normal now: df2, df42, iai 42, db11~f, perf 22, iai 2, then either b31 or u1+2. Consistent even if off axis (after a sidestep)
Not gonna lie, he got a ton of new and cool stuff, id say if you were ACTUALLY good with victor you might enjoy him even more, how ever this patch is detriment to all the lowtiergods put there spamming b1+2, ff2 and expulsion like they were goin out of style.
I did the punch parry on accident against a Steve with no prior knowledge of it existing and I was just like “Umm…excuse me, but WTF DID I JUST DO!?” We were both flabbergasted, but I considered it payback for all the times Steve players made me feel silly by becoming lore accurate against me and dodging bullets. 😂
wouldnt exactly say that nerfing his 3 best moves is a buff for victor, brother That said we might be looking at a rework soon if they buff his other soon to make him less braindead.
@@X_The_Y but they buffed others in their place. He's not nerfed, just different. Instead of fishing he's more CQC based like his character (lore wise at least) is meant to be. His 101 dmg no wall CH wr2 is gone, sure, but he can still push into the 90s easily and can do so in more ways. Routes are easier, bnbs do more damage, wall carry is actually insane now too.
Wdym, his main trio: powercrush, expulsion, and wr2 are completely worthless now. He has absolutely 0 tools to stop pressure. He can't enter stance easily, so if you pressure him he'll fold like a pancake
@chucklos391 yea, I saw the patch notes say hands only, lol. After messing with it, I found out how to do it properly. Thought it was a glitch at first
He's got 0 tracking on most of his moves, easily one of the top 5 most linear characters in the game. If you nerf everything, might as well delete the character
they given him new stance new moves and they call it nerf? i saw as a buff for him given him more options to play with some nerf damage for sertin moves
It's not just a damage nerf, all of his three strongest moves (powercrush, coup de grace/wr2, and expulsion) are now useless. It's pretty much a completely different character.
@@biivii100 its kinda shitty idea to throw out heavy punishable i17 move into -17 with inconsistant pushback online with unstable lagspikes all over the place. Though you i right, i thought b3 was i18
It took me awhile to notice but its not Lai stance its iai. Japanese art/stance for unsheathing your blade really quickly, its putting yourself in a position to perform devastating and blinding attacks from that stance
This is getting spammed by Vic haters.. His three best moves were turned to trash in one patch.. This isn’t the same character at all.. All his best stuff now is hidden behind his stances.. Top three moves gutted this was is insane. Back 1+2 is almost comical to watch smh. I’ll see how things shake out but even Farzeen is blown away.
@@smickeyYT I disagree. They gutted it. Range is shorter. The tracking actually just doesn’t exit you don’t need to side walk just a half ss gets you a free punish. You can only use it as a wall break and combo ender now.
@@hywolfgaming8932 Bro it's a super evasive, high damage, safe move. It had zero weaknesses in heat. It NEEDED a tracking nerf. It is not gutted, you just now have to use it THOUGHTFULLY instead of MINDLESSLY. Relax

Thanks mate. Picked Victor up recently. Did you discover this combo on your own?
I incorporated that df 4, 2 into Iai 4, 2 work in most of my combos thanks man
@@carlo5771 I figured it out myself day 1, I'm sure a lot of other people have found them too and made videos of it
You just do down back 1, 1 after the new Iai tornado. Makes his combo universal with all launchers for a decent damage increase.
it's been almost 5 months and there's still ppl call LAI stance. Brother its IAI
Yaoi stance, gotcha

Ff2 doesn’t track counter clockwise side step
i like they didn’t kill him,actually some good changes,i was scared he’s gonna get massacared😅

Well at least Victor mains need to actually think to play the game.
We actually do think learn how to stop it lmao.
there were a lot more braindead characters than victor lmao, one of them also being a new character azucena

I guess people haven't figured out you can get out of negative frames with perfumer :D Oh, boy.

Nah this is an overall buff for victor..

These changes make him a lot more interesting and fun to play for me
Literally the only character I hate playing against 😭war never changes
Hmmmm ill have to lab the parry a bit more was testing it last night and could not get it to work
It’s a hard one. Only works for punches. Wish it parried all.

Btw the pick up after lai 4,2 is db1,1 or df3
For his Lai 4,2 maybe they meant it to be a wall carry now after spin
can you make a vid about lars and shaheen ;DD
