Eliza rework thoughts so far New Super (++) The ability to convert previously awkward sekhmet hits is fantastic, the crumple is a nice touch. This would be worth it even without the ability to recall and continue a combo. M spiral(?) This still doesn't exist to me. The Meter gain seems no...

Might be a big ask, but adjusting quick match matchmaking so that you can avoid pairing with the person you declined against repeatedly?

If possible fix the no replay bug for double ko Balance suggestions: Make Lenny cause invincible knockdown (like sweep or soundstunless moves) this would maintain her neutral tools, satisfying chunks, but limit it to a reposition reward rather than a huge combo. It would also limit her Meter...

here's a more practical 3v2 burst punish for Bella with slide assist. it's universal and works everywhere except when you start completely cornered, but there's a simple change to make that work too. The only tough part really is getting the runstop into trigger against heavies since you need to...

Without beat extend it's a bit trickier to do 1 reset kills but I got something worked out for my current team: This can be made easier by going straight to HP+assist as the otg, but might need a bit more work if you go for the command grab option This one is way too much work, but killing...

I have a bunch of footage from recent sets with my newer team. Let's see if I can learn some stuff by going through it.

Ok, I've been messing around in beta to work out some 1 reset kill strats. This should work on lights everywhere, but might need a different follow up combo on heavies such at this you can also go low like this in 3v2 a burst will kill, so they should be scared to tech throws or mash out...

any tips on the c.mk runstop mp reset? Seems pretty inconsistent to confirm it into something.

Thoughts on cerebella/big band/peacock? Beat extend m is good defense and opens up important conversions for bella. Anchor peacock gives extra chances to switch her in to an advantageous position. What i am not sure of are the assists for bella and peacock. Excellabella gives taunt combos or...

This is just devil's advocate, but you could also approach it from the risk side rather than the reward side. For example when at max undizzy, give the defender armor.

This seems fine to me. Dying in 2 hits per character was pretty normal in earlier patches. Adding burstable points on the hitgrabs seems fair though.

Regarding opening gambits; my thought at first was that the characters with instant(ish) threats like Eliza's dp, or Bella's kara command grabs would be the ones with the strongest openers. With Val and Parasoul it's obviously not that simple; they're definitely strong, but they don't really...

So what characters win the opening gambit? so far I'm thinking Big Band, Eliza and Parasoul. Any others? Are those ones wrong?
