[just_2swift]

C'mon hat trick changes:16Bit

 

[xRCx Ryan]

Ex hat seems to be +7 now

 

[just_2swift]

Ex hat seems to be +7 now

That's a big change!

 

[zoofs]

ex hat +7
ji2 heavily changed
scaling on all combos but mostly changes on 44 links, does like 3-4% less on some combos as in f2 hat, 44, run, b321 spin, jik 21
ex spin now sucks you in on block

and yeah I don't think he needed any of this except the ex spin thing

 

[just_2swift]

Any hat trick boys out hurr

 

[Goat-City]

He needed less damage that's for sure, so glad about that change! If he's going to have such godlike corner pressure then he needs to sacrifice midscreen damage just like GM Sub Zero.

J2 is normalized

How normalised? What does that mean? Just curious.

 

[Linkuei82]

I'm fine with that. Not sure about the damage scaling because that hurts the other variations damage.

 

[SM StarGazer]

Its still hell. In buzz saw I believe f22-low bat is +5-etc. Couldnt get in a reversal without it getting blow up. Against PL mind you.

[Sirius Jones]

We probably won't know until March 1st

 

[SM StarGazer]

In Buzz Saw. And even on block low hat comes back faster. Its recovery is stupid.

wait so am I understanding this right or not ? ex spin tempest is unblockable ?

 

[IrishMantis]

IIRC His D4 is -6 now was -3

Instead of pushing you back when you block, it draws you in closer. It's so you can more easily punish it.

oh, ok. Had me sweating there for a second. thanks.

 

[IrishMantis]

Lao's J2 feels the same are we sure its changed?

 

[Goat-City]

No, he means when it's blocked it pulls you in closer so it's easier to punish it.

 

[WiseM0nkey]

ex hat +7 it's soo uneeded tbh.

now he has to 100% bait armour, like Erron black.

yeah they should of made normal hat -5 Ex hat was fine imo

 

[WiseM0nkey]

and lol at ex spin that sucks you on block... hope you scrubs are now happy, maybe you'll learn to punish a -28 one day

 

[Spencer]

Wow if what y'all are saying is true. I seriously doubt he's s-tier anymore.

man... They should make his 44 convert easier since they scaled it.

Sad Day for Lao mains.
