I think Kounter is going to be a mechanic to defend against heavy pressure. How it will work or if it's going to be universal or only for defense oriented characters...we will see.

The obvious nerfs are going to happen, and at least one top tier will get close to low tier. Many htbs will stay, same has stupid cancel advantage on block.

At least one character will be overbuffed, and imo it's going to be Bo Rai Cho.
Kenshi will not get more than A+.

Zoning and defense will still be weaker than offense.

Not even gonna predict about Fisticuffs. Just waiting to see.

Koumter? This my 3rd time seen this.

I'm guessing one of a devs hinted at something called kounter?

Mileena's base character is super solid, like variationless mileena is honestly probably better than some mid tier characters. But adding EX fade, one of the dumbest moves in the entire game with an already really solid base you get a character that can be so flexible to ANY situation because the answer to most problems is fade, it's that powerful. It can abuse gaps it can play mind games it can be used to wake up it can be used as a counter poke reversal, whiff punished, plus frames, extending combos. It does EVERYTHING.

In regards to Fade what CrazyFingers said is correct. The thing with Ethereal is that aside from great meter management you do need a lot of knowledge on the roster to abuse Ex Fade in the most effective way in every MU. It is to me part of the reason why it is very underrepresented as it is a lot to think about compared to other variations in the game. But it is also why it is so good and doesn't need any adjustments.

Also @EdenianWarrior you can spend a bar in the corner if you want to.

I got it. Every character is replaced by Leatherface and Leatherface is of course the best character in the game. Welcome to the Leatherrealm.

Any pressure that isn't frame tight she blows up, she can use ex fade to punish things like sonyas bake n wake. Ex fade links combos for higher damage, she has jailing pressure of her own with ex fade. It's probably the most multipurpose special in the game. It does so many different things that it's options are nearly endless.

Gimmick stolen by Jordan Peele
Let's see...

Alien turns into a literal coin flip character
Bo Rai Cho gets his mobility buff but will still suck
Cassie...doesn't get much
Devorah has her puddle destroyed, mains will have a fit, will no longer be "braindead" and I will drink the night away
Ermac gets deleted from the game as he will eventually plot to crash the game as soon as someone highlights him on the character select screen
Erron Black gets nothing significant
Ferra Torr's EX toss moves become significantly less safe on block, somehow achieves nothing.
Goro gets nothing...you have 4 ARMS DAMNIT.
Jacqui gets nothing
Jason's D1 gets nuked
Jax gets a legitimate nerf and the community will be at an uproar
Johnny Cage...A-List gets nerfed, SD gets slightly toned down, Fisticuffs after having a bunch of buff threads demanding NRS to buff the character...gets nothing.
Kano: Cutthroat gets nuked and questions will rise if he is comparable to Killer Frost. Cyber gets buffed
Kenshi. See Johnny Cage and Fisticuffs...I am already checked out at this point.
Kitana...nope. Nothing.
Kotal...he's fine.
Kung Jin...Jump ins get nerfed
Kung Lao...nothing.
Leatherface...B1 and F2 get sped up a bit...but that's it.
Liu Kang...gets a bunch of useless buffs.
Mileena...Piercing gets nuked.
Predator: Probably gets a bunch of unnecessary buffs because Guest Characters!
Quan Chi: Nothing.
Raiden: Will somehow become relevant again.
Reptile: Better anti air potential
Scorpion: Nothing
Shinnok: Impostor gets completely destroyed, Necromancer gets an unexpected buff and runs rampant on the majority of the cast. Bone Shaper stays the same
Sonya: Demolition gets buffed to the dismay of Tweedy and quits the game
Sub Zero: Klone gets buffed, and finally is a top 5 character once again...also Unbreakable buffs that do nothing and will still be hot garbage
Takeda: Kunai gets nerfed but everything else stays the same
Tanya: Nothing
Tremor: EX Down shatter for Crystalline becomes very unsafe to m2dave's dismay but everything else remains untouched and he will be fine.
Triborg...nerfed. Again.

That's not even touching blockstun, low profiling, and other nonsense that's spread throughout this game. Man I need a drink...
