Well, fellow members of the Royal Court, We've made it. Our girl got hit with the general system changes, but her positives shown on stream (And to be posted in the notes shortly) will be a game changer for her in so many ways. The biggest changes are the faster B2, Safer EX Throat Slice and Fan Nado (IN RS), and EX Flutter. She is shaping up to be a force now that the playing field has shifted.

Stronger glaives is a good buff. That's all I wanted in mournful.

Ex slice is confusing. The reason I played mournful was for safer armor but now throat slice is safe AND A MID there's no reason for ex shadow kick.

Pressure will be better since b2 was buffed.

I'm excited

Yeah i'm hype. The fact she still has armor on her rising fan, safer armor, and canceling float into jip is going to lead into so much more pressure. I'm really loving these changes.

Just how much faster is B2? This was my most wanted change since the last patch.

Loving the float changes!

I would have really liked it if D1 was 7 frames and more plus on hit but These changes leave me in little position to complain at face value. I hope the Square Boost changes apply to both the grounded and air versions of the move.

So if I'm understanding the notes above correctly; if you want an armored launcher AND a full combo, you need two bars?

Looks like it's longer to recover from the air.

Exactly.

It's like that for a few characters now. Notably Mileena with her EX roll and Goro with EX Punch Walk.

Safe wakeup, armored launcher, multiple 2 hitting armor attacks, more damage on zoning, better rushdown, easier to escape


While she still hits like a truck, still has a good ground game, good frame traps, good corner carry, etc.

Everyone is about to pick her up. Ya'll know this, right ?

I just picked her up last week or the week before after months of deliberation and now she's getting buffed lmao im not complaining.

Edit: just thought about it, assassin didn't get any scaling buffs potentially. This means her f11 ex fan combos with sharpen active are gonna be soo ridiculous lmao. Imagine doing 21 ex sharpen into f11 and catching someone. If you have two bars its death.

Seems fair to me tbh. Being able to confirm into a full combo from an armored launcher or confirm into float shenanigans on block from an armored launcher all for one bar would be way too much.

Yup. Royal Storm is looking like maybe her best variation again, and one step closer to MK9 Kitana who I miss dearly.

Great changes. I'm hyped. I think i'll just miss her one bar EX Rising Blades + full combo with one bar. But all that was done is worth it.

It's too soon to get cocky.
I'm super excited. Can't wait to train tomorrow with her.

Sonic said he's picking her up again. If true he will be insane to watch.

She's always been able to do that. Nothing changed about Assassin except her run
