Game is super easy to understand. You have two attack buttons. Normal and Special. You have four Normal ground attacks. Neutral, Up, Down and Side. In the air, you have five normas. Neutral, Foward, Back, Up, Down. You have four specials regardless of which character you play. Neutral...

Significant? Or just enough quality to put him in a better competitive state without being overwhelming?

The new balances changes are pretty severe for some characters that would definitely see a drop on their effectiveness. There are also some changes I disagree with (Kilik’s AAA and BBB cannot be ducked or stepped respectfully now). Along with some minor changes that will adjust how players...

Don’t skip Sieg’s K. This is his old TC K on a new input. It’s still fast, still TCs, and still gives plenty of push back and adv. on hit for some good mixups.

Not much discussion going with Groh lately, what gives? Did we give up on the guy? He still seems much more popular than Algol or ZWEI.

I daresay he's still top along with Sophitia, even after the patch. Too much stuff from Soul Charge puts him over the edge. I also feel like he needs more telegraphing on his weapons. In otherwords, we need to be able to see the weapons coming out sooner rather than at the tail end of their...

Raphael has a number of things going for him. One of those is that he is one of the very few characters with tracking Bs, great damage off a few basic combos. A Punisher that lethal hits and some absurd RE setups, that, much like Soul Charged Sophitia, is difficult to deal with for some...

Yeah, no. Mina has some really good step punishment with 6A and others. Arguably her big weaknesses is being relatively unsafe, largely negated thanks to her impressive range. Still I don’t think she’s high tier, but others do, so I’ll side with them for now. Until I can get better...

Too early for 2B, but here’s where I can comfortably rate some heroes. Top: Sophitia, Azwel High: Mina, Ivy, Raphael, Xianghua, Geralt Mid: Groh, Voldo, Cervy, Kilik, Maxi, Siegfried, Yoshi, Zas, Asta Low: Talim, Taki, Nightmare, Mitsu, Tira. Balance is pretty tight, and this was made before...

So, I'm just going to come here and say it. 2B just isn't any fun to fight against or play. Not that's she's impossible to kill, or overpowered or anything like that, but the fact of the matter is, she breaks Soul Calibur's old rules of short and sweet combos. SC was never about long winding...

All combos guaranteed Lots of ring out potential

Against players who lack a good understanding of footsies, general spacing or just like to bull-rush, she's a killer. Against more patient players and those with solid fundamentals, she can struggle a little. She's a great character with easy-to-use long range moves and great tippers (that...

22bA has the same animation as the first hit of 66AA but doesn't auto-evade and forces a backturn on the opponent. It's high, but it's also faster than 66AA IIRC. The only really good adjustment is changing WR A to knockdown as the move prior was usually the worse option from WR attacks. The...

Overall damage is low. But 2B can do so many crazy things and hit so much, it hardly ever matters, right?

Joker from Persona 5 is coming to Smash. One wonders if he'll have his Dream Needle special. It'd make him the second character to ever be able to put someone to sleep.

Too many people are selling Sophitia short, she's very, very good in this game (like she is in all games). It's not just punishing she's good at. In SC-state she's insane when it comes to pressure (and all those break attacks just make it worse).

Just make sure you're really close on 22(A) and you'll get a 3B launch in most cases. If you're in SC-state 4A+B can launch for guaranteed follow-ups.

So I think a lot of people tend to harp on a lot of his weaknesses, but aren't really understanding strengths or aren't really seeing them. The thing about this version of Cervantes, is that he can really play at any range extremely well. 6B, iGDRs, or 66A+B, or pressure hard with 33B 66B, and...

2B will supposedly release on December 11th. Though until we get official confirmation, it remains unconfirmed.

Ironically, AVN B clashes with a lot of moves, but won't break stance, this can be kinda useful in order to avoid punishment when entering AVN at negative frames and you need something like AVN B to shut down any sort of horizontal retaliation that might come at you. AVN B being 12 frames helps...
