Some comments, if more explanation is needed I can expand.
Imo Balanced now beats all Cages. Not mk9 style, but he wins, specially to A-List which is the one that suffered the most from stamina changes. He beats jax of course. In general any character without teleport, projectile and/or a good way to get in fast can have some problems vs Balanced since the stamina changes.
About dragon's fire liu, it used to be considered 8-2 and now it's a bit better just because Liu has to think a bit due to new ex push. Can't do braindead b1 to break all the armor kenshi had. Still 7-3 imo, Liu keeps all the rest of things that make the matchup suck.
Hqt is not even a matchup, it's a rape. Period. Dominates everywhere.
Nimble rep is still bad but changes in his armor make him less threatening from fullscreen. Also push being -10 is very good in this matchup.
Mileena is still a bad matchup but doesn't feel like the struggle it was before. Same happens with Cassie.
Cristalline Tremor is a very bad matchup. He can close distances very well, and flex limits options.
Mournful matchup sucks. She has better zoning and reflect doesn't properly reward the majority of times, for instance she doesn't give af about an aerial projectile getting reflected, she recovers in time to avoid it unless specific close distance where the reflect is basically a read. Ex glaive is a pain in the ass and can't be reflected. The other kitanas also do better than before since exrk was huge in this matchup.
About Lao, all three variations do better against Balanced than before. Tempest is equal, the rest win.
Jason is a very interesting matchup. I think he has slight advantage, but Balanced definitely has a chance if all tech is exploited.
I might be forgetting some, will update in that case.
