I like things about direction they are going with Manon's changes but don't think what they've shown will be enough to move the needle for her outside of the drive reversal change. She needed better combo damage but her interactions related to the drive system still disadvantage her more than most other characters. Without a better drive rush or at least a better move for checking drive rush she will still struggle in all the same match ups. Her anti fireball tools still need buffs to perform the function they are meant to have. She is still very meter dependent too. She is still the only character to my knowledge with access to plus frames with spending meter on drive rush or burnout.
I understand this is far from a full set of changes, but the fact that they showed off 2 buffs that address the same flaw and both in ways that require significant meter is a little concerning. If they said stand me was 6 frames, or made 4mk +1 on block if you don't do the target combo or something and I would've been a lot happier. I'm worried that Capcom will spend 3 seasons on buffs that aren't impactful like did for Alex in sf5, which would be a shame for a character with such an interesting play style
I feel the same way and I fear without some more significant changes, we might officially lose iDom from the game (unless he decides to change characters which seems less and less likely).
Are there any VODS of this tourney? Kept looking at the Reversalgg twitch but they only have the Tekken stuff on?EndingWalker is killing it this weekend. Him and Problem X are looking pretty good for season 2. Brussels Challenge has been amazing so far. Also this is probably the last time we see Tokido on Ken lol.
I think SF6 was on Damascus stream but top8 was on Reversal.Are there any VODS of this tourney? Kept looking at the Reversalgg twitch but they only have the Tekken stuff on?
Not going to happen for season 2 but I would really like to see them go absolutely wild with the drive system. Like have characters with less meter, some with more, maybe even have 1 character with no drive meter but is stupid broken in other ways, like maybe Makoto's buff super puts her in burnout and that's how she gets stronger. Stuff like that. Not saying they need to reinvent the wheel with every character like guilty gear does but there's definitely more to play around with here than what we have so far. They could get real crazy with it is all I'm saying.
Also v shift was dope. They should bring that back somehow.

He really is terrifying ..He went from being just plain ugly to legit scary.This might be my new avatar!
Yep I was buying the early passes just for music in the hopes of one day playing them on stages.If the jukebox works the way I hope it does, Im about to buy every battle pass for the rest of this game's lifespan just to get the old music.
My guess is next month during not-E3.
Evo, it's in July this year which would make it 2 months after Akuma releases, also evo seems to be the only fgc event capcom still cares about in relation to marketing
Isn't season 2 on May 22?Evo, it's in July this year which would make it 2 months after Akuma releases, also evo seems to be the only fgc event capcom still cares about in relation to marketing
Isn't season 2 on May 22?
While Year 2 is later?
I thought season refers to the balance and Year the character pass
