I'm sure that having a bunch of asians working on balancing the game won't destroy knockdown characters who aren't already good.SFIV is so rigid now, in terms of meta. Both of these characters have evolved around their setups, and balance changes up until now have done nothing but bolster that. This is not like IGAU being a year old. This is an almost 6-year-old series being played in a time where EVERYTHING is spread around much, much faster than the old days. At this point, it's really, really easy to see who is going to be affected heavily by the DWU change. Characters that played off of hard knockdowns a lot are hurt. Characters that struggled to deal with said knockdowns are helped. Characters who were strong for reasons not related are helped indirectly by a shift of importance in the metagame.
It's easy to see effection but not the extent of it.
