First thoughts with the patch
F4 is noticeably slower
B12 works just fine in juggles, but doesn't guarantee F4. Although like @STRYKIE pointed out, standing 3 is +17 on hit and a good replacement for MOS reset.
Levitate is still gr8
Combo scaling nerf seems very slight if non existent, F4 damage nerf seems to affect combo damage more than anything
