soooo... any buffs to Kokoro at all? or is she just doomed?
No, only characters that recieved actual balance changes are Rachel, Momiji and Alpha-152. It's much MUCH too soon for the entire cast to recieve a balance patch right now.
And honestly, some of the things Rachel received are kind of...stupid (no I do not play Rachel). Everyone's (talking competitive players here) main concern was the ground hit whiffing and she still retaining massive advantage. Now her ground hit is treated as everyone else's, as it should be.
MY other concern is that Rachel's PPT should not be an offensive hold, it should be a regular throw. It is difficult enough to see as it is, actually reacting to it (even if incorrectly) and getting caught on Hi Counter Hold is ridiculous. Rache's strings are literally ending at all 3 hit levels, viably, coupled with an Offensive Hold. Silliness.
I feel as though the whiff being where it is now (as it should have been in the first place), and the PPT being changed to a regular throw are all she needed changed (PPT is an OH but I am just stating how it shouldn't be one). All of her other "nerfs" are unnecessary, to be honest. Because she's not breaking the game, nor are her match ups all positive for her either.
Rachel is only scary "if" the vortex starts. Other than this, she's just another good character.
