Welcome to Akihabara
@supahotbean I think @Eddy Wang is talking about the f4 into electric at the wall. F4 is +4 so it is easier for kaz to frame trap off it with electric because he can skip an input and have it come out at 13 frames if done perfectly. But he can also have it come out at 14 frames and skip the input but executed 1 frame slower. Not easy anyway but electric punishment / frame traps with the other mishimas there is no leniency. At the same time its the only standing normal hit launcher kaz has under 20 frames.

Feels like a mix of Leroy and Hitomi from Dead or Alive. I really hope Lidia is neither braindead nor broken like Fahkumram and Leroy were when they debuted.
Both of those asshats ruined Season 3 and broke the game by themselves.

I didn’t really see much leroy goin on there bro other than she appears to have some sort of high and low parry. She seems a bit like Jin with random heihachi moves sprinkled in. She even stuffed hei’s qcf2 with her own version of it. It didn’t show any 12 frame ch mid launcher, hell sweep or any other Leroy nonsense let’s just pray for the best.

But I honestly dunno why they gave us this instead of wang or bruce or something. I really couldn’t care less about this character.
edit: wow just realized she comes out tomorrow... I love how namco does that lol.

Saw the parrys and the fast launching low but it looks like a counter hit launch. Still good it looks fast but she looks like she has alot if frame traps.

lol @ the sfv ken cosplay. It would be funny if they gave her Jin's old magic 4 with the crumple.

This character, who’s representing Poland, her stage is...

Island Paradise?

I lived in Lithuania for four years, which borders Poland.
Island paradise isn’t a descriptor that comes to mind.

Namco is making high execution characters like Steve worse.

Fahkumram has been overnormalized.

Julia will probably be OK.

Overall garbage patch that makes the game less fun to play.
sorry bro but fuck fahkumram. I haven't even seen the notes yet but that character can be throw in a dumpster and I wouldnt care. His design was too hard for them to balance apparently, they should have just thrown him in the toilet and brought back bruce. Edit: after reading the patch notes I wonder #1 if the Leroy change to hermit low parry now parries unblockables? #2 The explanation why they changed steve kinda made me laugh. "This string high feint high and mid feint high was too hard to mash inbetween like an idiot instead of low profiling the second hit. No need to worry anymore....if steve does these strings now you can patiently wait and just punch him in the face after" Is what I read.

Too hard when you are as incompetent as Namco's "balance" team.
Damn I just noticed they also nerfed the crouch cancel frame advantage off flicker. And df2 tracking is gone. I mean I think steve will still be ok but we will see. The 3 frame nerf to blocking after whiffed b1 I don't honestly think is too big a deal. The hit box on that shit is huge. Whiffing rarely happens and if it does you probably deserve to eat at least a 10 frame punish.

You can now duck and whiff punish with while standing launchers, which used to be impossible before.

When you could do so in previous iterations, the character was mid tier or worse.
