Well, this is a thread for a few things i have on my mind.

First off, State of Balance. The last one we got was in like june of 2020 or something? I'd really love to see it now... that's all for that.

Next, General feel of the game has changed so much... Before it was who was more skillful at parrying, dodging, blocking and so on, but lately, especially after the ccu, what i've experienced is way more turtling especially at higher levels, people relying on extremely safe moves (Glad's zone attack, black prior shield bash, tiandi palm etc.) I thought the ccu was supposed to make it more offensive based, but in reality in my experience it's just made people turtle more and slooooowly tick away at your health with pretty much the same few moves over and over. Would love to hear other people's take on this.

Okay, this one's just to vent my anger, Shinobi. At this point his backflip is useless, quad dash is gone, he does no damage and his stamina is ridiculous. I honestly only play him for his mobility, as it's incredibly fun, but man... It's real rough to fight alot of characters with Shinobi i'm talking tiandi, JJ, well, anyone really. This sort of goes back to the state of balance, on the last one he had a 36% win rate in duels... that is abysmal. IIRC it was down to 27~% with some characters, how the hell hasn't he been either reworked, or buffed at all?


Okay. That's all for my rant.
