Pokes

Did they nerf or buff pokes in this patch ?heard
it both ways

Both.

They were liike ''uhhhh, yeah, we did listen to u guys. The poke system sucks. So lets fix it'' and then they nerfed A LITTLE (like 1 fuckin frame) some pokes (geras, erron, scorpion and some other 3-4 characters) and then they BUFFED other pokes (frost has now a poke that is only -3 on block, another poke from her went from -6 to -4... Kano d3 went from 10f to 9f and -7 to -5, etc).

So yeah, they nerfed A LITTLE the mashing of some characters but BUFFED the mashing of some other characters. This patch is hilarious lmaaaaaoooo

Because it is both ways. Most have more advantage on hit to jail into highs more easily (or at all, even) but have more recovery on block/whiff so it isn’t as much of a mash-fest and you can actually take your turn after blocking one.

Still rough to take advantage of plus frames on pokes with/against some characters.

The characters that got their pokes buffed can't mash, that's not how it works, for pokes to be mashable they gotta be fast and be barely negative. Ex: Geras' pre-patch d1 which was 6 frames and -3.

They nerfed pokes that could be abused non stop, buffed characters with bad pokes and buffed pretty much everyone's hit advantage on them to make it possible to jail highs.

The poke meta of this game is because of the block recovery frames it makes punishes inconsistant and your only attack thats fast enough to punish a poke. This could be fixed easily

Man, what? People just replied that you're able to take your turn after a blocked poke and why. If you try to take your turn when you get hit, that's on your lmao. Pokes are fine now imo. It's wacky hurtboxes/hitboxes, whiffing issues on strings and jump-ins they have to fix.

 

[Jbog]

If pokes were minus 6 instead of minus 3 then yeah u can take a turn mostly people jyst poke again and if ur charater doesnt have a quick mid u poke again making 3 pokes till pushback happens.

You can absolutely take your turn at -3

Block > poke back with your fastest (or poke into special if you're feeling feisty and you wanna send a message)
Block > grab
Block > neutral jump
Block > back up and whiff punish

Lab what works best for you and your character.

 

[Bruno-NeoSpace]

The poke system in this game is still GARBAGE!

Pokes that are barely minus on whiff and block, with a very weird blockstun, not plus enough on hit and you can cancel them into specials to fuck the counter-poke. They are sooo bad that people are not even trying to hit confirm it (I'm included) because most of the times you CANT because the time you get to react to the hit confirm you already lost a lot of hit adv frames and then you get poked on HIT LMAAAO. And pokes into backdash being a thing is just... Wtf nrs
