I'm a Manon player and I think its CRAZY that you haven't mentionned the wakeup drive reversal change for this patch. It is undeniably huge for the selected chars you mentionned as they already had poor defense.

I do agree that Capcom didnt balance the chars equally, nor did anyone get the same quality of buffs or nerfs, yet the game feels more stable and I think that having a +1 move on block in b.hp and cr mk being +3 makes Manon a stronger char overall then last patch.

Unironically she might have a worst matchup spread now but she is a better character.

The thing is if you buff lower tiers, but also buff characters that are already good, the meta will most likely stay largely the same. It's exactly what happened with guilty gear strive.

[jettmanas]

Good points. Though they could've done more, it's nice to see those changes. Looking forward to playing.

[darthrodent]

Wonderfully said. I just can't shake the feeling that we've all seen this movie before. Characters that are already good with mysterious buffs, characters in desperate need of help with minor (some would say insignificant) 'changes'. After all this time waiting this seems even more meh than normal for some.

Great vid. The bias from Capcom is off of the charts.

Love the content as always. I also love SF6. I get that it isn’t for everyone, but the people in the comments whining about core mechanics (not the balance of them but the fact that they exist) really need to move on to something else and let those of us that actually enjoy the game keep on keeping on.

Man with how long it takes I guess really my outlook now is “patches will be nice but don’t anticipate them” - for example that DownDown input fix was plaguing me since November and it just now got fixed - I’m gonna spend time with the game more wisely with this in mind

[antonsimmons]

Pick a top tier or just hope you get lucky, because low characters will get nerfed and already strong ones will get buffed. Just normal FG things.

I feel like this patch should’ve been a mid year patch to wait an entire year for a patch that only kinda changes the game is wild. You would think there would be a new mechanic or something. Then again I am a kimberly player so what you said adds up.

Good stuff Mura, a ton of great patch content

[nicorobin]

drive rush is only easier to stop in the first few frames. otherwise it's exactly the same.

[despicableree]

Great points, especially Honda!
I swapped off of Honda last season, but he’s looking much more viable now!

[chozo]

as a cammy main im really disappointed in the patch if this is it for a whole year.

[Boss__CQC]

I appreciate the Drive Rush change. It feels much better when checking and the opponent can’t as easily and brainlessly skip neutral with it. I would’ve liked it if the drive reversal startup was the same in neutral as the reversal version but hey ho. So good job Capcom, thank you finally.

[elvandar]

How to fix Manon, bring Abel back. With great oki and specific invul c.grabs... it would be a solid mid-tier.

[SuperNinjaMarth]

Up vote immediately from the character to character change posts. 👌🏽

[HellecticMojo]

Everyone needed AKI level changes, not buffs, but changes.
It's a very disappointing patch for sure.

[geoffreytasker]

What made me upset about the Kimberly changes is in the grand scheme they don't do anything to fix her issues. Yes, ex tatsu into level 2 is great, but the super itself still sucks. They let ex izuna from hard vagabond work, but it has no juggle value so you can't follow up with anything outside her forward hard kick command normal into special. Light Vagabond can combo but it has to be spaced and stand mk feels less risky but i have to work on that. I am off the opinion that They gave her new routes, but pretty much no real reason to use them. So Kimberly is played largely the same.

[theartofpqh]

I still have no desire to come back and play the game. They haven’t changed any of the things I was hoping for. And I’m blown away they haven’t revised the stupid in game currency for dlc

[ouranos]

I think there will be a minor patch before CPT season starts. It was the same in SF5 for the first few years.
