It does make some sense to have gauge scaling more in line with damage scaling off a Perfect Parry.

Even to this day, the damage on Punish Counter Throw surprises me. It makes sense, but it's just SO MUCH more than a regular non-punish throw...

The DLC characters are actually quite cheap comparatively, which is very nice. Where the real money is in fighting games is cosmetics, and capcom is dipping into that well *way too hard* right now with the prices they want for them.

You cant just spam it but i have gotten some enormous combos from it, i love it

It definitely makes sense that since perfect parry gives so much reward in regards to position (going from holding mixups or oki to having control or OKI pressure yourself) that it shouldn't give you as much reward in terms of resources.

The crossup accidental input thing was something I remember causing me a ton of trouble early on, but I bet like most people, I eventually rebuilt that timing / muscle memory. I hope it didn't break that.

Love the light scaling change. I always thought it was really stupid that the drive system allowed you get close to the same damage of starting with a heavy, off a frickin jab. It was boring to see any hit go into dr into the same exact combo.

Wake up Drive Reversal is basically a reset button if it lands. Due to this I may not use it much against certain characters like JP. I'd rather deal with him close up, not put him back where he wants to be.

Buffer windows are absolutely broken. I keep getting the break dance with Jamie in neutral. They need to fix this asap.

Aki was already strong, I’m just glad my character got buffed as well

Seen tons of ppl mashing DI as soon as they see blue in the Combo Breaker pools yesterday

I watched other videos that mentioned the damaged scaling, but it just didn't sink in. But your demos really helped bring the point home

The perfect parry option select is such a DUH moment for me. Thanks for the info.

I havent watched the whole thing yet, so maybe you touch on it, but something worth noting is that the change to parry (specifically the forwards hurtbox shift) will make ot way WAY easier to PP projectiles

I hope you continue doing these selective analyses. There are tons of channels who do full patch notes reviews, but I love the in depth explorations into specific mechanics, system mechanics, and stuff like your lab exploration for characters and stuff like that. It's some of my favorite SF content in general. I'm too new to FGs to discover a lot of this nitty gritty type stuff, but it's also the stuff I find most interesting in other games that I have much more experience in, and I can only hope I'll be able to get to your level of theory in FGs in general.

As someone that distanced themselves from the game because I wasn't a huge fan of the previous meta, this new patch actually sounds pretty good. All of the universal changes are pretty well thought out, nerfing the damage from lights specifically seems like a very good change, since they're usually doing work in up close pressure situations, so it incentives the player to pressure with mediums if they wanna make it hurt, making them vulnerable to wake-up dReversal. Coupled with the damage nerfs to a lot of the heavy hitters, I think this will lead to longer matches and an overall healthier meta. also, Aki is definitely going to be a menace this season, her change list looks like a buff Bible.

I understand the light damage scaling for more variety of convertions, but I think this heavily hurt some specific characters like ed tipping the scales in certain matchups

Big street fighter fan so''Love the new update,,great breakdown of it 👏👏👏 ,, the new changes I feel makes rounds last longer with the reductions ,,,,still feel it needs ABIT more tweaking tho 👍

The drive gauge regen nerf is pretty cruel for perfect parry. I would at least let them keep that, if not even buff it to compensate for all the nerfs. I think letting people recover their own gauge and putting yourself in a better spot is less problematic than getting a perfect parry and demolishing the opponents gauge.

@dodang_9147

2 ай бұрын

that demolishing on drive gauge is huge nerf to JP because it was only ways for JP to put people into burn out to do Chip damage on his zoning. Like a big thing for zoners is destroying drive gauge to do chip damage on their ranged moves. this change puts it too far in other direction where zoning characters don't have good options to put people into burn out to be relevant. I think this is definitely going to be adjusted in the future where certain characters might not have same drive gauge burn out for perfect parries globally. Guile and JP and even things like Marisa need that type of burn out gameplay happening.

Yeah, hearing about the light scaling reduction I thought this being a nerf to Ed, changing from a bit Luke to a lot of Ken to Ed, he's so more dependent on his lights and especially light specials than the others I'm familiar with and the boy sure doesn't need nerfs unlike others mentioned in this comment...

Perhaps the reduction in Drive Gauge damage works together with the increased combo damage scaling to work in favor of the player playing catch-up. Sounds like Capcom is shooting for more entertaining tournament matches. Everyone loves a comeback.

Fantastic explanations, much appreciate the deeper look at potential consequences of the changes

the parry and the drive reversal change are probably the best buff to zangief for this patch

When you discover gameplay tech that is being removed...due to its removal...

Yo Brian, is no neutral over? Would love to see you get your runback ft10 against rob

This makes me think T. Hawk will make an appearance in season 2 or Haggar

I think the damage scaling change is huge nerf to Lily, since basically a majority of her combos/conversions start from double lights.

The universal light attack combo starter scaling combined with the buffs Ryu got to damage and Denjin make him such a menace no. Hitting like a truck on short strings of medium and heavy attacks is his whole thing.

30:50 trueeee!! Thats gonna make players reinvent themselves and look for resets and cheeky opening, kinda some charactera in sf4 who trives on risky offense

I'm glad with the perfect parry change. At times I felt like the meta was punishing players for initiating.

"Combo damage reduction" ((laughs in Zangief))

IDK man.. I get what is being said about the PP nerfs but to an extent, it was nice having the option to commit resources to hit the opponents drive gauge. 3 bars for a punish counter combo w/ super that is heavily scaled was such a terrible proposition. Now, along with the regular parry changes, people are going to have much more drive meter to work with on average which means for frequent use of drive rush nonsense which is equally if not more volatile that landing a perfect parry to steal the round. This entire thing goes back to the drawing board where the devs shot themselves in the foot by making drive parry function the way it does and its general ease of use, meaning they have to work around its implemented existence / effect on the core gameplay that changes like this even need to be made. Everyone complained that perfect parry was too low risk / high reward when the reality is what they really wanted was more ways to apply fisher price drive rush offense.

I like wen it takes more the 2 to 3 good combos to kill a person…so all this dmg scaling I like….I truly think when a game is at 3 to 4 combos to win is like a perfect combo to dmg scale….im not counting hits in between…at full health….wen a game is at 3 to 4 combos to kill and 5 is max….makes the back and forward more interesting….not someone doing 1 combo and 4 gabs after that to kill someone….no skill in that u just have a character that good cause 1 mistake happen….

They should have nerfed repeating strings with scaling incurring when the same two heavy or heavy into medium into drive rush repeat. Tired of seeing the top characters do the same 3 times in a row into level 3. Make people change up the strings mid combo. Sure it would end in something like Lily where conversions are still linear, but it isn't 3 reps of the same two high damage/advantage buttons.
