Elphelt is out.
Axl and Pot got new moves.
Wild Assault Changes.
Minor nerfs and buffs.
I haven't tried out the new patch yet, how are the corner to corner into wallbreak into positive loops affected if anyone had the opportunity to test it?
I mean, they're still around. The reduced burst gain for positive bonus seems good, though I'm not good enough to notice and I've just been playing against Elphelts spamming the rekka mixup anyways lol
Since positive doesn't last as long, the loops are somewhat nerfed as you only have to hold 5 sec meter dump pressure post wallbreak instead of 10. Still lazy and too easily accessible, but better than before.
These seem like smart changes. Almost too smart. Like the person in charge of balancing the game is different now. Happy Chaos has been around for 2 years, and he only just now got his guard crush loops broken.
Elphelt seems neat, but not my type of character. Her jumping hurtboxes seem too small though. She's high-profiled my 6P several times already even though she looks like she's colliding with it.
