I definitely don't want to sound spoiled or anything, but I feel the buffs she got were more deserved than needed. It feels nice to have certain attacks being a lot safer and a lot more consistent. However, I feel having at least one overhead starter would have gone a long way. Hell, even the low hitting b3 from 2 patches ago (That was just cut and pasted from the second hit of 3, d4) getting some follow ups would have been nice along with having some more variation specific strings. That would have helped her game immensely in Assassin (Especially when going up against high level Sonya, Kano, Tanya, Et al.). I think her getting these changes in spades is a result of NRS admitting that they were lazy with her design in general (Look at Mournful's normals still having fans and no staff as well as her overall playstyle before the patches before you argue.) and giving her what she should have had before. I'd trade some of her unnecessary buffs (2 in 1 Rising blades) for the F2 being an overhead anyday. Overall I just wish NRS gave this character what she deserved in the beginning since she's such an icon to MK. Good to see they saw the error in their ways.
Still, I digress. In spite of myself, it will take some time to really sieve through this good set of changes. Competitively speaking, I don't know if she can win a major by herself, but at least she doesn't have to try like hell to make chicken salad out of chicken s*** anymore. Fans up fellas.
