Heyas Dandy! Ghostpilot here! I've been peeking around the video to compare notes (very nice job and extremely thorough, by the way)! Wanted to pass along some additional bits that I had found. Chris: The way they nerfed this poor boy's jump D is that it's *significantly* harder to crossup with it now; which just further compounds his loss of pressure and lack of damage. I don't know what he did over to the folks at SNK, but they nerfed him like he was 98 Chris. Up until this patch, I'd been using him on point, but I'm considering replacing him. Shermie / O. Shermie: The way they changed the hitbox of her d.C was that it has a smaller hitbox on the backend, so it's more likely to whiff when the opponent is directly over her head / crossup attempts now. And to confirm with O. Shermie: you are correct in your interpretation that all of her kisses are now the same frames as her A kiss (which are changes they made in 98 FE and 2k2 UM). It's pretty substantial as her old B/C/D kisses were 30 / 32 / 34 frames respectively. It's a nice buff to her zoning / harassing game, as she can now juggle one kiss into another without having to burn an EX like she used to previously (so if they landed on your A kiss, you could juggle a C or D kiss, for example). It also lets her do dirty things like do a second D kiss after her C throw to catch pre-jump frames. It'd be lovely if projectiles gained meter without having to connect (as they did in previous games) but alas. That's all I have for now, but lovely work, man!
1:16:05 that Fusa ken buff for Kukri is actually huge. Before this you could punish him with a DP or smth like that between his close standing C and Fusa Ken, now it's a true block string.
5 and a half hours...You absolute madlad.
