The fact that she can poke and start links from st mk is very real, the ammount of things she can do now is scary as hell, her overhead now combos with cr.MP as well which in turn i believe is +6 on hit.
Does it? I was only able to get it to combo if I used the OH as part of the target combo. If I just did it, it only combo'd on CH. Not a big nitpick , just wondering if I just missed the the timing there somehow, I only tried it a handful of times.
Still though, I retract my previous statements about her, I think she's miles stronger than s1. I never realized just how much range her st.Mk actually had either, it outranges st.mp and just barely loses to cr.mp! That's fucking awesome, as she has a real threat normal with reasonable, of not insane, range. I do wish she had more threat off of lows to make the OH more terrifying, but just having an OH that.combos in to 210+ damage is kinda insane, and if you establish her cr.mk or lk or they are a charge character or just used to downbacking all the time, man she can get some work done!
I'm going to resist the urge to main her though, I might not even pocket her - for now - as I just have to be realistic and try to work within my limitations and her vtrigger execution is just too fiddly for my hands, which this past year it feels like have gotten significantly worse. Maybe when I get settled in to Akuma and Guile (maybe Urien.. I'm sorry but he's just dope) I'll start fiddling with Ibuki.. but I dunno, we'll see.
All in all though, I am VERY happy with her changes now that I've had time to objectively look at them, experience them a little and see them in action.
