Easy to say while just watching it. I bet everyone who got RO'ed by it in a video thought the same thing. Seems like you came to your own conclusion already.

The guard breaks are going to help open people up a lot.

You should look into the Maxi forum. Your description becomes even more apt when he starts using different colors for his text.

Excuse me good sir... I was trying to help out people who've never played SC.

Then there is no witch hunt.

Easiest way for a non SC player to conceptualize this... Imagine Guile. Now give him a spinning piledriver that bounces people back to full screen. That's basically what we're describing here.

Well, just bear in mind people figured that out about Hilde very quickly. Counter play never amounted to much etc. She dictated every game she was in to the detriment of the game. Ivy's tools as they are don't leave much wiggle room in that respect, and I don't think they'd have to change a ton...

Hmm. Ivy can RO you from full screen with a low throw. She's also not fully baked yet in terms of damage output etc. I don't think counter play will reveal she's opened up. I think Ivy will likely just get stronger once people better know what they're doing with her.

The way the game's built you kinda need it as is. Pain to get Sophie off once she gets going otherwise.

They bring the builds to tournaments for player feedback. We're providing it. I personally don't care about the animation. The move properties in aggregate are the issue from what multiple players have stated here, on twitter, on Discord, in person etc. This stuff has been circulating since the...

Unlikely. They rebalanced Sophie etc from build to build. I doubt Ivy will be any different.

I was just kidding. I found myself focusing on my character since my character was under immediate threat. Also tired to figure out if there was a difference between the two animations while I was playing Link. Just got lethal hit 2x for my trouble. I only noticed that raised arms purple...

But she glowes purple and raises her arms for the throw and just stabs the ground for the other. Perfectly practical when your attention is focused under your own character's feet.

Ok question for you. Why does that low grab need to track sideways? Ivy has multiple moves to check step already. As it is now, the way her move set is structured, opponents are limited to a 2d plane with highly restricted options on wakeup. How would removing that side tracking with that...

Reacting to that startup animation's not exactly simple. (Though in the team tournament we were all on laggy Samsung monitors so reacting to it was actually harder than it should've been so that particular video is not wholly representative. Look at top 8 if you want to see how this all plays...

Why does he wear the mask?

Don't make him into a Bane meme.

BAK can knockdown if you hold the K a little. As it is, it seems to me that Maxi's going to be built around baiting GI/RE and opening up looping via guard breaks making them hesitate to use those defensive mechanics. There's a lot of mindgame potential within the loops as is. The issue there...
