Same as Alex. I agree with everyone that there should only be buffs unless a character is broken. A properly balanced fighting game is one that has EVERY character viable. That's all any gamer wants. To pick a character they feel fits their preferences whether it be aesthetically or mechanically, and to lose off the strength of their lack of skills, not because their character walks into a match inherently at a disadvantage :snoop: its fuccin common sense.

The only warranted nerfs I saw were Mika (but they overnerfed her) and Chun-Li. Otherwise, what they did was okay, sans Urien and some of Laura (I'm biased since I have her as a secondary).

Then, they started taking away things from people who already struggled and took out a defensive option in meterless, invulnerable DP's. The game is rushdown at its strongest, and I'm an offensive player (Cammy main). At some points, it gets boring, but I actually enjoy playing with Cammy right now so none of it is stopping me. The game just doesn't have the depth it should in terms of mechanics and styles.

Capcom really didn't go with this well, and it's been a year and people still have valid complaints.

What is with Capcom and nerfing shyt that doesn't need to be nerfed. I'm still mad they nerfed Tron and Sentinel in UMVC3 for no reason. :francis:

Yeah Capcom over did it with nerfs, especially since they said they wouldn't do that before the game even came out. :snoop:

charge characters are easy to use?
They are when they have amazing normals. If you spend the match holding down back you shouldn't be playing charge chars in the first place

And you're leaving out that Rog has a dp now, which is a HUGE deal. Crush counter HK into cr hp->dp gets you great easy damage. Even MORE if you have the meter.

Watch Smug matches. All he does is fish for whiff punish with Hk, and he gets away with it because that button is great.

I don't believe he needs to be nerfed, but don't act like he's so difficult to play

I think if FANG was any more effective at his game plan, people who don't study the matchups (aka 80% of online players) would hate fighting him. Not saying it's right, but it is what it is lol.

It sucks for high level and/or pro players like Xian though.

I have to agree. I was actually against the smash being a DP move. and I watch smug vids all the time.
