A new DLC character means new patch notes! In addition to various character specific changes, this update includes an overall nerf to damage output during soul charge, as well as a slight nerf some vertical tracking.
Jaxel is the owner and operator of 8WAYRUN; so if you have any issues with the website, he's the one you should be bugging about it. During the days of SOULCALIBUR II, Jaxel may have been considered one of the top Talim players in the world. But since then, he has become a total scrub who can barely play at a competitive level. Keeping that in mind, you should take anything he says about the game with a massive load of salt.
