This is stupid. Swarm Queen had a good overhead but a bad low to run cancel from. Now her only overhead is the kick, which is not as good. This is also a nerf to Venomous, who now lost her d+4+_f+2 poison mixup.

I really hope this new move in venomous is worth something, or else they just nerfed a low tier character.



I get the hate demolition gets. I really do. But nerfing her b+1 did nothing for special forces. The b+1 move wasn't even the problem with demolition. It's launch punishable and you can armor anything that comes after it, on block.

Special Forces didn't even get a variation specific buff. She goes from low tier to absolute trash tier. This is unprofessional.
Worst post I've ever seen. Not even a close second.
 
Someone explain to me what I'm missing here..

"Flip n' Roll can no longer recover in time to juggle."

"Flip n' Roll can be enhanced to roll backwards to juggle."

Does this mean You can MB EX Roll and use TWO meters to use it for a juggle, but you can't combo off EX roll anymore? If that's what it means... Mileena went right into shit tier again.

She had dangerous mixups that required meter, but now they require TWO meters to even be a problem?

I am probably just completely misinterpreting this, but it's almost as if you do not need to respect EX roll wakeups anymore and you do not need to even respect the overhead option while being pressured...

Plus he mid is gone.

I mean, she probably needed some adjustments.. but I cannot see how in the F this is what they decided on.

You clearly didn't read the full patch notes nor watch the stream. What you're missing is that almost all armored launchers are gone. Mileena is one of the lucky ones to have one, now it just costs 2 bars for a combo. For example Kitana got the same treatment.

Mileena most likely is still one of the best characters in the game, so no need to be dramatic about it lol.

So what i missed was the part about armored launchers.

That said, mileena now has zero decent overheads outside of burning two meters. She's never going to hit anyone without having two meters because theres zero reason not to just crouch block.

Her mixup threat is almost completely gone

It's not gone, you just get less damage out of it. And Mileena always has the 2 bars to spare anyways so it's not as big of a deal as you think really.

Armored launching mixup is worth 2 bars imo.

My Kano been grounded from a roughneck to cuddle bear. Taken away his armor wakeup options?? CT got hammered harder then it needed. Toke away Armor in eye blast for Cyber was a mistake. Cyber need all the help it can get, its his harshest variant to open others with.

Seriously, no armor on Kano EX ball? How the hell am I suppose to get out the corner or get close to zoners? What options beside EX upball do I have? Garbage pacth yet again.

Tested stuff on my boy. Everything is fixed, except of D' Vorah's D3 and D4 not having hurtboxes. They pass through Ice Klone without being frozen.

Well, PC player here. So long I havent played the game and I want to come back. Im an Alien fan, but I think I come in the wrong moment. Do u think he is gonna be a viable pick even with all these nerfs? What variation should I choose?

Same for Cassie, she looks nerfed. At least Kitana got some buffs.
