latest 'balance' patch

[Prismatic Lollipop]

i didn't bother going into too much detail, only jumped straight into ranked.
As we know, this balance patch left Feng almost untouched, Lars and Lili and Victor completely untouched, Asuka and Leroy buffed into godhood, and Zafina aswell, and allegedly fixed directional inputs behaving in a way they shouldn't be.

and right off the bat, i match Lars, Victor, Lars, Victor, Victor.

i try waking up into low block, and get low launched by Victor.

10/10, this game makes me want to off myself.

Zafina didn't really get that much shes basically the same with a touch more pressure all her stances are vulnerable to sidestep.

I had to laugh when I played around with kazuya to find hes been nerfed again, and the so called buff to hell sweep is nothing. it's not major but it's still laughable.

They haven't touched King. Remember that.

they gave Zafina what Lars got to simply avoid RA and jailing opponents without effort.

The game is still ♥♥♥♥. Matchmaking is still ♥♥♥♥. yoshimitsu has a up ? Really ? ♥♥♥♥ harada !

Lili is balanced for gods sake. She picked first time in tournaments and won evo doesn't mean she needs to be deleted from game

[mmm..mlurp]

If Chikurin is playing Lili she must be S++ tier and bordering on being busted. I like watching him but he's an even bigger tier ♥♥♥♥♥ than Knee.

Choosing the right character is also a skill.
If he’s noticed that she is top tier when others were focused on Drag, Azu and Feng then Kudos for him.

Come on guys, why are we still talking about Lili in here. Arslan lost to a Steve, the new narrative is nerf Steve because he's OP.

I agree. I'm not hating on him. If I was a pro making a living from a game, I'd tier ♥♥♥♥♥ as well.

"a move launched me therefore the game is unbalanced"
wtf is this post bro
Asuka and Zafina werent buffed that much too

[Prismatic Lollipop]

from some of the posts here, i realize that some of you don't realize the potential those buffs have unleashed.

furthermore, i still get hit by mids when i'm standing blocking.
i checked replays and command history and somehow it's still bugged.

cannot wrap my head around this supposed fix.

In the patch notes, the devs said clearly that characters that were not yet touched will be balanced in the next patch 1.05 in June.

That includes Victor, Lili, King, Paul and Yoshimitsu as they mentioned them. It could include other chars too like Nina.

I don't think they're done on balancing the chars touched in 1.04, IMHO it is not unthinkable that the next couple of patches in 2024 will nerf a little Jin, Reina, Feng or Eddy for example. We wiil see.

either way, if you care that much about ranked and learning matchups, go to practice after every balance patch. going straight to ranked clearly aint helping

I’m surprised people are downplaying Lili.
