Athena guide me, the thunder God...
The new patch hit all the characters and brought a new era on our game..
These changes nerfed the run cancel characters, armor launchers and buffed pressure! This is my opinion about TG and if anyone wants to keep playing him ...GOOD LUCK!
Buffs for all Variations:
I'm not gonna drop Raiden YET. I will try Displacer as hard as i can until the end of the game..
Peace.
PS: MoS still sucks...... but he is better than TG maybe lol
These changes nerfed the run cancel characters, armor launchers and buffed pressure! This is my opinion about TG and if anyone wants to keep playing him ...GOOD LUCK!
Buffs for all Variations:
- Superman(bf3) recovery on whiff is great now and he can't be whiff punished THAT easy as pre-patch. Also has 2 hits of armor! (Good anti-zoning tool)
- DF2 is a mid now and MAYBE will some abusing down pokes after our poke of course. (Btw d1 df2 can be interrupted by 7f moves/specials which means is still punishable on block)
- *SEMI-BUFF* ex db2 is a mid now, still safe on block (-2) and 2 hits of armor but without a knock down.
- AA buffs in general.
- Pressure is strongrer because there are no launchers with armor or they are need 2 to launch.
- No double pressure with b11 fbrc. That was a great mind game with TG and now with the higher stamina costing is available only once. Huge nerf IMO, because not only you can hit confirm anything, you can't even run a bit and go for b11 cancel because you will run out of stamina.
- His combos became more strict and you have to go for easier less damaging combos. The combos out of df2 ex,B2,3~4 and 2~1~3 midscreen are way harder now.
- His defence is worse now(as many many other of course) because of the armored launchers. But still for TG was a good solution against heavy zoning characters like SZ grandmaster. Now this MU for example is waaaaay harder.
- *SEMI-NERF* Maybe the anti-airs got buffed but he still lacks his df2 ex for a solid launcher anti-air without the risk of getting hit. Also db2 ex has worse recovery on hit in the air knock down making almost impossible to convert out of it unless the opponent is above your head.
- No more safe 50/50 in the corner with b3~2/b2 db2ex because of the knock back change.
- STILL NO GOOD MID MOVE IN MIDSCREEN!
I'm not gonna drop Raiden YET. I will try Displacer as hard as i can until the end of the game..
Peace.
