REO
Undead
With the highly anticipated Kombat Pack Season 2, there's a ton of speculation on what will happen, which characters will receive changes, who will be added into the roster, any general gameplay changes, and much more. Lately there hasn't been much of any information released at all, so I think this is the perfect time during this slump to post what we think will happen or what we want to happen.

- Pushback on block for the first two hits of EX B,F+2+BLK reduced so the final hit does not whiff so often.

Tremor:
- EX D,D+4+BLK damage decreased to 10%.
Crystalline
