1) Yes and yes. You can even do crouch throws, both of them, out of the armor dash.
2) Yes, 236A+G
3) 44A feels nerfed to me too. But I think he'll be more effective at zoning than in SC5 because JG is gone.
Actually I think WL A does give you a lethal hit if you aGI something with it, that's the condition for this move to Lethal Hit. IRM or PW shall confirm this.
WL does not beat 2A, but it does beat every verticals including kicks. PSL1/2 aGI beat 2A clean and can guarantee some stuff like RC A B, so it's pretty strong !
I think SC5 44B is now 3B, it's even better ! But the thing I liked the most here is the 33bA from SC4, hit high with a good RC transition... I loved that move in SC4. With how fast and tech crouch RC K is now, that's even better !
What I saw on that one :
1) LO A is still the same slow but TC & tech step low.
2) If he choose the backdash during the RE cutscene, he ends up in RC and it seems to be boosted ! His RC B just after made him glow
3) A blocked CE leaves him in RO... I dunno if it makes the CE safe or semi-safe...
You saw this one from the story trailer right ? I'm pretty sure it still goes into LO ! Also it seems it's not a stand alone move, as he looks like he's doing a SC2 2K just before. It could be an interesting string, especially if it's a NC lol
6A+B is also back ! LO K is now SC5's LI K. Also in one of the vid, on the right screen, you can see Maxi's CE hitting without any animation after, a la Paul in T7. Strange !
I'm kinda optimistic concerning SC6's Maxi gameplay as I know that Oosaka (a well known japanese Maxi player) is working on the game. I dunno if he's going to be mid/top tier or anything but at least he should be enjoyable. Still, I hope PSL3 returns and that Maxi stances are well-equipped...
