I was about to say f4 is broke but it's a high so it's all good. I like these buffs a lot. I just wish I could have 7f poke but 8 is good. What about stone punch cancel

 

[OmGxBdON]

I'm sorry but the metallic buff is meh. Screw the armor

 

[Marinjuana]

Well they gave us the mid people were clamoring for.

I love that f2 buff, and I'd rather f4 be a high then a sort of mid.

Hey man that two hits on magma shatter is gonna be huge in some matchups.

Edit: His pressure should also be a lot better without launchers being rampant. And hey 6 frame f1 with the changes to stamina I wonder how flash parries blockstrings will be looking.

Yeah but if u can still cancel the stone punch I'd rather not use letallic unless it's against lui Kang but even en metallic is still meh

@General M2Dave what are your thoughts

 

[Folux182]

The only thing that saddens me about the changes is the change to the Up Punch not having armor anymore. I loved using it to AA

 

[OmGxBdON]

Oh shit I just realized that . But 6 frame AA with nerfed jumps. Don't really need the up punch anymore

 

[Folux182]

Oh shit I just realized that . But 6 frame AA with nerfed jumps. Don't really need the up punch anymore

True! Didn't even think about that. It'll take some getting used to, but at least he still has other options. I think Tremor got through this patch just fine, possibly made him slightly better

 

[1man3letters]

we kept the double digits plus frames on bf2 and ex bf4 which is very nice.
dunno why they buffed d1 and not d3 but that being 8 frames is insanely good.
6 frame f1, lmfao!
i like the f2 change, at least when we get it by mistake now, were plus
glad were still keeping the flash parry aswell, id well take losing armor on db2u/d for keeping that.
b1 change is awesome, 14 mid, yes please.
nice they put his big leg plus on block like the rest of the cast, being a high is alright since b1 got buffed i guess.
metallic changes bit strange, no more armored projectile and 2 hits of armor on lava db1.
glad ex crystalline still launches, id rather that than it having armor and not launching.
the up shatter nerf seems at face value to be a nothing nerf

im really hoping they fixed his pushback bug and it just wasnt mentioned

 

[M2Dave]

@General M2Dave what are your thoughts

The game has changed so much that I have no idea what to think at the moment. I will share my opinion in this thread soon. What do you think?

 

[1man3letters]

just thought there whatever about no armor on db1 crystalline will have a harder time getting off the ground with no armor on db2u, wakeup flash parries it is so lol

 

[B. Shazzy]

I mean the lack of a real armored threat when doing cancels is gonna feel good but having no armor yourself is gonna be a whole new world lul good luck tremors

 

[Gengar]

Cookies still work. We are still in business boys

 

[Gengar]

also, everyone lost armored launchers, but i didnt see any mention of taking away our flash parry when Ex stone punch is cancelled

 

[xInfra Deadx]

B1 buff could be a bigger buff than we think right now...

I think the nerf to jumps and the run mechanic makes aftershock go up the tier list especially cuz they didn't touch him but the armor nerf. He would still struggle is his losing MUs but definently not as much. Overall I think he has been inadvertently buffed a lot

 

[MasterBelmont]

I'm perfectly okay with these changes. I was still fine with how he was post-XL patch, so just about anything's good with me (apart from a big nerf, of course).

 

[M2Dave]

From the perspective of a Crystalline player, the loss of the armor on EX low stone shatter is devastating. As you already know, the EX low stone shatter has quietly been the best overall move in the last two or three versions of the game. Now that the armor is gone forever, Crystalline Tremor players will have to find innovative ways to manage low pokes.

I believe if Tremor retains the armor on the EX stone punch cancel, which appears to be the case, I cannot imagine Crystalline (and Aftershock likewise) being anything worse than mid tier. Crystalline also retains crystallization, which, with the overall normalized armored attacks, will be better than ever, particularly in the corner. The universal buffs, even to the worthless overhead, are welcome. On paper the character still ought to be very fun to play without being too strong or too weak.

Report your findings with Aftershock in the next couple of months in the Tremor forums or the Illuminati.

 

[Tweedy]

Bdon teach me Aftershock.

 

[Tweedy]

So i'm assuming Tremor still has -7 armor with EX stone punch? I don't see anything about it or it's modifications.

Also if his D1 is still -3 then that's super nice.

Happy for the Tremor community and maybe i'll come in and see what's up with the Sub Zero MU, now that my tail gets frozen lol.

 

[Zhidoreptiloid]

Guys, up stone puch have no armor now? That mean, we cant combo after AA... What will be AA now? uppercut?

 

[M2Dave]

Correct. But if you press up or down after EX stone punch, you lose the armor. EX stone punch is insignificant on its own. The million dollar question is whether EX stone punch cancel still exists or not.

Hopefully, uppercut, standing jab, and f+1 get the job done.

 

[Rude]

So Tremor can still flash parry, right?

 

[Rabbit]

i was really hoping for some metallic changes but looks like that variation will stay a troll pick to use against players with poor defense and that never block low.

would of been happy with at least a buff to the gold pebbles
