301683, Very weird buffs and nerfs, plus the SRK nerf...
Posted by Wonderl33t, Wed Jan-25-17 02:58 PM
Regarding the SRK nerf, the game was already very homogeneous and bland gameplay-wise, and now it's even moreso.

Guile didn't need the buffs at all, at least not all of them. They should have given him either the st.mp buff or the UDK buff, not both. The 2-bar V trigger is a wash, to me. And I say this as a Guile main. Oh, and an under-the-radar buff was giving CC ability to cr.hp and taking CC away from st.hp. Cr.hp was already a very good meaty button due to its high number of active frames (5, if I remember right) and ability to link cr.lp on CH (maybe even cr.mp, I forget), and the fact that it's safe (st.hp is -6, for comparison). But now it doesn't matter! Easy CC launch -> GHK into FK for massive damage, off of one button press. It's even more braindead than Ryu's meaties, believe it or not.

It makes me wonder if that was an intentional effect, or if they did it because st.hp being a CC button made no sense whatsoever other than being an easy mode CC combo starter.
