Well, the reason that the point turns around when Double goes behind them is because Double's actually going behind them. There are actually setups that use this to set up a double tag that hits crossup. It's a silly gimmick, one that gets blown up with a HCH punish if it fails, but there is tech using it. Changing it without having an effect on that... the best solution would probably be to up the blockstun so much that the point doesn't ever turn around.
It already existed on everyone but Filia/Fukua/Valentine/(can't think who else, maybe Fortune idk, people who had their crouching hitboxes raised) since forever. If it's been there since then it's pretty obvious it's fine.
Like Dynamo hitting above/behind bella?
I was kind of feeling this was too but I didn't know how to say it. I feel like the shadows are fair because she loses damage etc. after she's already on the offensive or has already hit you with it, instead of risking things to get the hit (which is fine if that's supposed to be the balance of the move). It just feels weird cause the rest of the game feels like the risk is using the move initially and then being rewarded if you hit. It almost feels flipped. "Use this to get the hit. You got the hit now all your damage and reward stuff is scaled to oblivion". Idk how I would fix it if there was something like that it feels like that's what I keep hearing.
Were you even watching? We're talking about snapping the point while there's a living teammate that should've come in, he would not have gotten a wallbounce. He used it plenty of times throughout the set so it wasn't that rare either.
But this was always in the game and has nothing to do with Fukua. Parasoul can do this since a long time ago. And like I said, the following combo is nerfed pretty hard.
I remember bringing this up when it was introduced. The reason for this that was told for me was that because solos suck, this is a way to help them be better and give them an advantage by not letting them wall bounce
I think you're right. I kind of had a pessimistic view on how we was played, but not necessarily how he COULD be played. I think big band is fun to watch and play! Just not all the time for the former. It's fine, people will get better, give it a few years and who knows what it will be like.
Yes. On that note, I would like to see hornet bomber get armour properties for the logical reason that a butt traveling at that velocity and the amount of frames per distance can withstand any force of nature.
Her offense was better before. It's still good now , but better before.
It's important to make a distinction here. Fukua is capable of capitalizing off of winning neutral better now, which is nowhere near the same as a character being incapable of winning neutral. They aren't really two things you can compare. Her setups are dumb now, she can confirm of of any mixup, but they don't change much about whether or not she's beating someone in neutral.
It's been ridiculous since August. She can mixup high and low with a shadow+assist without committing to anything herself. With the right assist you are never allowed to act other than blocking correctly. She can more easily confirm off of m shadow at max range than she could in retail. All of her confirms, new pokes she can use and convert from, mixups that are now viable by sacrificing just a tiny bit of health. She does less damage but it honestly isn't a big deal because it's less of a nerf and more of a "if it wasn't this way it would be incredibly busted".
I dunno. I still think retail Fukua offense and reset game is much scarier. Hence being the reason it was taken out and replaced with this less scary high low only game with auto block added. Auto block doesn't help with side switch resets.
Retail Fukua had access to left/right/airthrow (with no follow up)/anti-mash (other than air supers) off of the M Shadow vortex (she probably has some other resets using M shadow that I don't know about but this is the main one she lost). The new Fukua can do high/lows that are safe vs supers, she can do fast high into low (and vice versa) and she can mixup which side she hits with the shadow as well (the resets Sonic was using also look to be relatively safe to most reversal supers though I'm sure some like Fenrir would beat it). I don't see how you can say retail Fukua's resets are better than beta Fukua's.
Against sage, the win ratio was like 1.5:1 which is pretty normal from what I've seen in the past. It was against shade where he was dominating. But that's besides the point .
Double hasn't gained anything in regards to her pressure in the beta so why would it matter if he showed himself playing Double in beta (which he probably has done anyway)? Meanwhile Filia gained airball dash cancelling on block which was near the start of the beta and he has uploaded beta footage of that.
Because everytime footage of sonic playing solo, this community goes crazy. So even though there isn't much change to double or filia, I believe sonic has some tech that is crazy that would make people see and quespionage those characters differently.
