Im sorry but you are wrong here. Scar won the tourney with Demo Sonya who was severely nerfed. Smoke was also nerfed. Sonic didn't go full Cryo. Sonic used Jason and Cassie whom were untouched. Sonic is still good and he will continue to dominate but he is not the only one who placed after their character got destroyed. Just stating some facts.
Huh? Can you elaborate on the bolded?
Yes. He also got Hayatei to end the next round with an X ray just to make sure that wouldn't happen again. It was hype.
I hate the only one type of grenade per combo, I don't like her exploding grenade I don't know why lol. 3 stun grenades in a combo was badass!
Flamefist definitely moved up imo
Sonya was toned down, but not severely nerfed or "destroyed", she's still great and plays mostly the same. Same with Smoke.
I definitely wouldn't call Sonya "Destroyed". "Moderatedly toned down from broke" is probably more accurate
Which is the same for every character that got nerfed. None got destroyed as some claim. They simple toned down the broken stuff.I definitely wouldn't call Sonya "Destroyed". "Moderatedly toned down from broke" is probably more accurate
that is exactly how i would describe alien as well. I get that tweedy is bitter as he lost and all but Alien is NOT trash now.. no way.I definitely wouldn't call Sonya "Destroyed". "Moderatedly toned down from broke" is probably more accurate
tarkatan has to hitconfirm now instead of being braindead and front flippin for free a lot o the time... poor him now they have to think.. and tail having a hurtbox. oh god no... and don't even talk about rekka's because first of all rekka's arent a mechanic thats safe if you do more than 1 spaced one. and they've never been high low vortex mixups. so what they did making you commit to it is what needed to be done.
It's called an opinion
I realize that. I gave my own opinion, as well. I find Shinnok to be obscenely boring to watch.
I wasn't really asking for a link to the patch notes, myself and others have had access to those for over two weeks now. But more so an explanation as to how you came to the conclusion that Sonya was severely nerfed or possibly even destroyed(?), in your own words. It's easy to point out the differences in frame data, Smoke's in this case, but that alone doesn't really tell me how he fairs in the current build of the game with all the changes they've made. For instance, didn't the universal nerf to armored launchers actually benefit Smoke as opposed to the rest the cast that more heavily relied on them in the previous meta? An indirect buff of sorts? Does that really equate to Smoke being nerfed?
"Destroyed" was a quote from Tweety who is saying Alien got destroyed in the patch which is false cause he only got normalized just like the rest. The patch notes should be to enough to understand the huge difference in Sonya now. Using only two grenades of different types to combo is a huuuuuge change FYI. You can look at the finals of SCR where scar was doing 16% or maybe 20 something percent on combos because he had to reload where before he could go up from 30%. B1 being slow now leaves Sonya with very slow mids so now she can be more easily poked out of any pressure. Don't confuse Scar being good with Sonya being top tier she has definitely been toned down yet scar was still able to win while other are blaming their loses on the characters.
