What does this change mean for Darkseid?

I guess the 112 isn't a HKD anymore on an airborne opponent. But I'm referring to the d1 change.

Skarlet scientist
They’ve been doing this since the beginning of time and Ivy’s whip attacks still say -338 on block lol
Which is why their algorithm that currently works as the punishing and counter indicator needs to start counting and displaying the in game frame data on the contrary of keep adding it manually for the past 5 years.
 
First of all, I really like that they've made d1~BGB fully universal now.

A pretty good set of buffs/nerfs/fixes tbh. A few characters ignored who I really wouldn't have expected to be, but those that have been nerfed/buffed have largely had said changes be very reasonable.

NRS's approach to patching has definitely improved. :)

GL and Starfire got buffed, Catwoman and Supergirl got nerfed so this patch was great for me.

Think it was a solid patch overall.
