I'm currently watching the NRS stream on 8/31. They said:

Sonya's X-Ray scales more, so no more 70%+ X-Rays.

B332 jails on block and doesn't whiff on duck.

Air Throw also does take more damage.


  • Sonya - Increased combo damage scaling after X-Ray
  • Sonya - Away+1,4 is no longer a hard knockdown :( :( :(
  • Sonya - Fixed a bug that was causing 2,2 to sometimes be more negative on hit on ducking opponents
  • Sonya (Covert Ops) - Last hit of Air Strike no longer ignores damage scaling
  • Sonya (Demolition) - Lowered the input priority of Bake 'n' Wake on wakeup

I understand the X-Ray nerf, and I'm glad they fixed B332. But that's all? I was hoping for something big for her, like an EX dive kick or something. Oh well. I'm fine. I'm alright. It's cool.


Someone give me tissues

No but in all seriousness, I'm just happy she wasn't nerfed (except x-ray which is understandable).

EDIT: I take that back.

Yea I'm fine with this. Definitely happy about B332 not whiffing.

EDIT: I also take it back... RIP B14 HKD

AIir Throw also does take more damage, overall they didn't give her much attention. its funny how everything we;ve discussed gets addressed, I really think we should be more vocal about changes we'd like to see for Sonya.

am a tad disappointed because if they're going to scale all of her post Xray damage then that'll sting.

hopefully she'll get some better frame changes when the patch notes are released.

Yea, it's complete bullshit. I use that safe reload every time in the corner.

Nrs is just a fucking joke.

Here are the notes

  • Sonya - Increased combo damage scaling after X-Ray
  • Sonya - Away+FP,BK is no longer a hard knockdown
  • Sonya - Fixed a bug that was causing BP,BP to sometimes be more negative on hit on ducking opponents
  • Sonya (Covert Ops) - Last hit of Air Strike no longer ignores damage scaling
  • Sonya (Demolition) - Lowered the input priority of Bake 'n' Wake on wakeup
  • Sonya (Special Forces) - Increased Away+BP damage by 4
She's been nerfed badly and unnecessarily, even Predator got less nerfs, are they kidding me or are they trying to get rid of Sonya.

First her dive kick nerf and now this?

It probably means that the timing is less strict to perform Wake N Bake, which would be a very good change. I find the timing awfully difficult as-is. And it's one of Demo Sonya's best moves to get people off her ass when she's down.

yeah that move is a total guessing game if it'll come out. I just didn't understand the wording.

Does back 1, 4 not being a hard knockdown mean that demolition is dead? I mean you no longer have a safe reload since 2134 is not safe from tech roll right?
