Blaze got nerfed way too much (PLEASE DEV READ THIS)
her default kit sucks now. her combos arent fun to do and they took away her freedom. ive found some stuff but its KOF level of hard to pull off and very situational. its a beat em up game i dont understand why the need of heavy nerfs like this. it just take the fun out of certain characters. while all the dlc characters are awesome.

If someone from the devs team will ever read this. Please, don`t nerf characters in your game. I saw plenty of games that tried to "balance" fun mechanics or builds and became boring for people who was passionate about them. Leave infinites and all this stuff for people who cares about them. Cool combo options aswell.

Blaze feels slow as hell to me. She's got so much start-up and recovery on what feels like everything and her mobility is worse than Axel.

i agree it feels like a bug to me. she supposed to be a fast character with low damage output. now she is just slow and low damage. something doesn't feel right.

Her new forward special is actually nuts. Borderline broken.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYgUxfxKe1Y The change they made to her defense special hurts those who can do stylistic combos with her...

Wow , thank you very much for this. I had no clue they had destroyed Blaze gameplay like this. What ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is this?

it seems they want to get rid off infinites. but thats a bad decision cause those combos are fun to do. I hope they are not balancing the game with the battle wich nobody plays and cares about.

You know, to be honest, I don't care about Blaze's infinites but the obvious encouragement of the blitz spamming with the introduction of survival and new simplified movesets for some of the characters makes me really worried the game design has taken a severe 180 turn from a technically strategic feast to a rather simplistic ->-> attack formula. I hope I'm wrong about this but it's getting worrisome. Never ever have I come across that many blitz spammers online even in very the early v04 days. It's not even funny anymore.

Nah when leaderboards and stuff are at stake then balance is important.

Feel free to play easy mode

I said this, but then I realized how broken the other characters are like Shiva... Jesus. Actually makes me sad as a Blaze main.

to be fair her new blitz _is_ easy mode so that train of thought doesn't really hold much water

To be honest his new update has basically brought forth the rise of forward special everything.

Don't be, as a fellow Blaze main we still have an incredible combo (not score combo but normal combo) potential >_<
The new blitz send people flying easily so it makes it easier to deal with the new zombie horde modes but if you want to keep them close her old blitz is still the best in my opinion. Combine it with the new forward special, the double bicycle thing, and you can do some amazing things.

The difference between us and characters like Shiva is that they cover a lot of ground when doing combos so it makes it harder for enemies to hit them on recovery. On the other hand I've lost track of how many times I got slapped in most of my recoveries after a move.
