Well, I thought that nerf isn’t such a big a deal, and +18 on hit is ridicoulus, but I accept I’m not familiar how the divekick works. I am open to sugestions, if yo uthink is too much, we can reduce it, change, etc. Worth noting I wasn’t in favour of nerfs anyway.<br><br>What you are saying is very interesting, I will think about those questions and try to come up with some answers. I’m also curious about your own ideas. That should make for an interesting discussion. <br><br>Btw, I was rewatching a match from CC, and F Champ and Flash M. were comentating. They both said they would love another balance patch. <br><br>I also add here the 2nd batch of buffs (character limit don’t allow me to put everything in 1 post): <br><br><u>The Buff List part 2:</u><br><br>[spoiler]<br><!–[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>Explanations:</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>[spoiler] Simply make the moves hit where
they should. What the hell is this c.LP should be called c.LWrist</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>F Mk: for better pressure and

<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>Hp: essentially, completely
whiffing vs a crouching cammy or having adon/juri dash forward under it is
bullshit</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>Mgb: The moves are unsafe as is,
there’s no reason Dudley should be at such a
high risk off using these non cancelable moves. At least make him +2 on hit so
he can continue to pressure vs characters with hitbox altering moves like Ryu’s
c.MK which, at the moment, will push Dudley
out on these moves.</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>here’s why dudley
loses to grapplers. get rid of being punished for literally EVERYTHING, and
this match up instantly becomes a lot more even.</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>F Hk: Fix his f.HK not allowing him
to connect ANYTHING when he counter hits, or uses f.HK meaty vs characters,
Balrog, Chun-li, Rose, Gen, and El Fuerte. If it’s not Dudley’s
fault, make f.HK move forward more during recovery frames so he can at least
Kara HP Jet Upper.</p>

<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”> </p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>Explanations: </p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>[spoiler] Honda was never broken in Super, so
the amount of nerfs he got is simply stupid. From Super to AE he lost 205 dmg,
and from AE to v.2012 another 30 dmg = 235 dmg loss, same as Yun from AE to
v.2012 – except Honda wasn’t anywhere close to ae Yun’s level. He also got
other nerfs, Ultra 2 was destroyed, hitbox nerf for ju mp, blockstun reduction
for hands, etc.<span style=“mso-spacerun:yes”> </span>He also didn’t received
any significant buffs since vanilla. For a character that was never considered
broken and never won a major, all these nerfs are plain stupid. If Capcom don’t
want defensive characters, they can simply erase Honda, Sim and Guile from the
game, there’s no need to make them mediocre. </p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>I think it is common sense to
undone part of the nerfs he received:</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>- Give back half the dmg for HP:
100 dmg (it was 120 in Super, 140 in vanilla !!). I can understand Capcom not
wanting Honda to have a 120 dmg poke, but making it having less dmg than MP is
stupid, esp. for a poke that has 10 frames start up.</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>- Give back half the dmg for
Oichos: they are Honda’s main tool for opening people up, and Oicho was
traditionally one of Honda’s feared weapons in ST</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>- Give back 1/3 of Hands dmg (it
did 140 dmg in Super): I can understand reducing Honda’s bnb dmg, but not at this
degree (35 dmg reduction ??)<span style=“mso-spacerun:yes”> </span></p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>- L HB: a completelly uncalled nerf
– why would you nerf an antiair tool, especially one that is slow (13 fr start
up), and needs a charge ? Give back the dmg partially (it did 130 in Super) </p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>Honda is supposed to have big dmg,
that’s his character archetype, it always was. He has no reliable comeback
factor, and a terrible oki game, so landing big dmg is the way he wins. </p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>- H Hands: give back a part of the
blockstun he had in Super (he had +6). Hands are Honda’s main pressure tool. It
needs to be advantaged enough that holding up, backdashing or mashing a 3-4
frame normal wont defeat the second hhs. Honda has no true strings, no 3 fr
normal, and his cr lk is 5 frames so I dont think this is a lot to ask. </p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>Some characters like Akuma or Seth
that have many tools at their disposal can afford to have some of them not
being usefull. But Honda doesn’t have many tools, so he can’t afford to have
useless stuff:</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>- Shikofumi: Capcom decided to give
him an unique attack, but right now this move is complete garbage – at 30
frames start up, obvious animation and requires Honda to give up charge, is
completelly useless. Considering that Shikofumi is Honda’s only overhead, and
that Honda’s mix up game is far from stellar, I think it would be correct to
make this move more usefull. Even at 23 start, Shikofumi would still be one of
the slowest overheads in the game, but at least it would be an option that
Honda can use it occasionally, spicing up his gameplan and making him more
interesting to play. It’s also a cool move, it’s a waste not to be
usefull.<span style=“mso-spacerun:yes”> </span></p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>- M Hands: right now Honda players
have very few reasons to use this move, since it pushes forward less than
fierce version, so you can easily miss hits and get punnished. One way this move
might become more usefull is if both M and extended M (Renda) hands would
receive a hitbox buff. Honda has some very interesting combos involving M hands
and Renda hands, but unfortunately, those combos works only on 5-6 characters
and are very unreliable, being very space dependent. Honda also has a combo
into ultra with Renda hands, but it works on 4 characters, and only 1 works
both standing and crouching. Considering Honda doesn’t have much diversity in
his combos, this buff would spice up Honda’s game, and make him more
interesting to play. It would also give Honda players a reason to use M Hands.
Also, since Honda has very poor comeback factor, and both his ultras are bad,
giving him more ways to land his ultra should be ok, and Renda hands would have
a reason to be used. The combos would still remain heavily character specific
anyway.<span style=“mso-spacerun:yes”> </span><span style=“mso-spacerun:yes”> </span></p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>- Ex Hands: right now this move is
almost never used. The only time you see it is when someone mistakes his inputs
and does the moon walk. The whole purpose of Ex hands is to allow for more
advanced combos, to be a bridge in combos. Problem is, right now Ex hands
allows for 1 frame links only. Now, other characters also have 1 frame links,
so that shouldn’t be a problem, but this ex hands 1 frame links are unplinkable
(unless it is used start buton), and the timing is very unnatural, since
there’s a big gap between links. Even more, because ex hands has a lot of
animation, the opponent has plenty of time to mash a reversal/ ultra, so if you
miss the link, Honda player is guaranteed to a eat a fat punish, unlike other 1
framers (Rufus, abel, others) that if missed are mostly safe. Even worse, Honda
waste 1 meter bar, which is huge for Honda. Simply put it, right now the
risk/reward is not worthy, so nobody is using this move in a serious match.
Considering outside ex hands, Honda doesn’t have much damaging combos, and that
ex hands are also very character specific, I think it should be fair to make
them usefull. The hitbox buff would also help so some hits doesn’t whiff on
some characters, and the last hit connect with more characters, allowing these
combos to be a little less space dependent and work on more characters. The
combos would still remain difficult, need ex meter (very valuable for Honda),
and character specific, but this would allow Honda to land more damage in
combos (right now his standard punnish does 265 dmg), have a reason to use
meter in combos, and make him much more interesting and fun to play. </p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>- Ex Oicho: another useless move. 2
out of 4 ex special moves are useless right now for Honda (ex hands and oicho).
While for every other character that have an ex command grab, this move have
some special abilities that gives a reason to be used, in Honda’s case, ex
Oicho doesn’t have anything – it has 0.02 more range than L Oicho (completely
irrelevant), and 10 more dmg than H Oicho (no Honda will ever waste 1 bar for
this).</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>By giving the invincibility, the
move would have a purpose in Honda’s arsenal. This would help Honda a lot on
wakeup, because right now Honda’s fastest reversal has 8 frames start up, so
Honda can be easily safe jumped by almost everyone. Honda is supposed to be a
defensive wall, a tank, the ultimate defensive character, but unfortunatelly he
can easily be abused on wakeup by vortex characters. This is out of Honda’s
character archetype – I understand that Akuma is supposed to give Honda
problems with his zoning game, that’s Honda’s traditional weakness, but it’s
not understandable why Honda has to deal also with Akuma’s vortex (same case for
Seth match). This buff would help Honda in some of his bad matches, and would
also keep him true to his archetype – this would also be an awesome throwback
to ST Honda, where Oicho was an awesome reversal. Range should be reduced
accordingly, since keeping the current range would be too much (ex Oicho will
have the shortest range). </p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>- Oicho: In ST, Ochio throw would
swap positions except in a corner. In SF4, Honda is generally at his strongest
when the opponent is cornered and he is crouched just outside. Not only is
Honda at his strongest, but Ochio throw specifically is strongest at this
point. It would be great if Honda <span style=“mso-spacerun:yes”> </span>not
corner himself and (more importantly) give his opponent the entirety of the
playing field to back away and go back to keeping Honda out with
fireballs/whatever. Honda doesn’t have a corner carry move, he is a defensive
character, a charge character, so it’s not like he can easily put his opponent
in the corner. But if he does this, he should be rewarded more. This buff would
most likely affect mostly Honda’s bad match ups – the matches where he needs to
go on offensive, and less his good ones, where he usually just turtles. It
would be a big help in matches like Ryu/Sagat/Guile, when Honda finally corner
them to be able to put more pressure on them. It would also be another nice
throwback to ST days. </p>

Honda stronger and more interesting to play, while keeping him true to his
archetype, keeping his traditional weakness and traditional bad matches, and
not make him broken. (Emanuelb, TWG Arthur, Stevo).<span style=“mso-spacerun:yes”> [/spoiler]</span><br>

<b>El Fuerte</b><br>
<br>
- <u>Guacamole Leg Throw</u>: Fix the trade (example: Ryu jHK’s El Fuerte
Guacs. they both hit each other, Fuerte takes full damage from jHK and flies
back like he should from getting hit in air. Ryu teleports to the ground hard
knockdown, no damage.)<br>
- <u>Habanero Back Dash</u>: Fix the deadzone (there are times when you run
back you can mash jab (sudden stop) and El Fuerte will not stop, instead
hitting the wall and running forward, still not stopping.<br>
- <u>Tostada Press</u>: Fix the splash hit box, I can’t tell you how many times
I splash, I see Fuerte touch them, nothing happens, then my ass is grizazz<br>
- <u>cl HP</u>: +50 stun (200). Run Stop Fierce is a rare occurrence in high level
play. If you eat it and you play a low stun character like Viper, you deserve
to get stunned. This is really Fuerte’s only damage. Any Fuerte that relies
solely on his mixup is almost guaranteed to lose.<br>
- <u>Propeller Tortilla</u>: +18 dmg (150). The best thing this move had going
for it was beating Ryu/Akuma DP free in Vanilla, changing their properties
indirectly nerfed Fuerte. The damage nerf is unnecessary<br>
- <u>Quesadilla Bomb</u>: reduce the start up by 1 frame (16). (Densuo).<br><br></span><br style=“mso-special-character:line-break”><span style=“font-size:12.0pt;font-family:“Times New Roman”;mso-fareast-font-family:

- <u>Teleport</u>: needs some improvement. Either extend the invincibility a
few more frames, shorten the recovery, or increase the distance traveled. As it
is, it’s not much of an escape tool, which is to say that it’s not much of
anything. It doesn’t need to be as good as Akuma’s, but using E.Ryu’s teleport
successfully should not only happen because it’s so terrible that the opponent

</p><p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>[spoiler]- Red fireball: Just tweak his red
fireball’s recovery to 1f or 2f slower than Akuma’s for all versions. That’d be
enough to improve their usefulness from “marginal” to
"situational," which is all his red fireball really needs to be.
Currently, E.Ryu’s red fireball is mostly relegated to tacking on a bit of
extra chip after an Ultra or throwing the LP version as a gimmicky bait if the
opponent jumps in thinking it was the slower HP version. In fireball wars, a
well-timed red fireball by E.Ryu at the right spacing can, admittedly, turn the
tide in his favor or even blow the opponent up completely. Still, there is very
little justification for the move being so slow to recover.</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>- Axe kick: L: Right now I don’t
know what Capcom wants us to do with this move. It’s unsafe on block, isn’t a
true block string when used with low forward, and it does shit damage with no
follow up or mix up opportunities. Pretty much all it’s good for is FADC
combos. But that cost meter. This change will at least make it a pressure tool,
but it’s still unsafe as it’s not a true block string and when spaced poorly,
it can still be punished by fast normals or specials.</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>H: It’s extremely slow and no Evil
Ryu player uses it. It’s very easy to stuff it or jump out of it even when
canceled from a normal with a lot of hit stun like st. HP or st. MP. If it’s an
overhead, at least there will be some incentive in going for it and hoping to
catch your opponent off guard.</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>Ex: It shares a similar problem
with the HK axe kick, it’s slow and gets stuffed or jumped out of so easily
unless canceled from a high hit stun normal. This will at least make people be
forced to block it similarly to Makoto’s EX chop. But it remains -4 on block
and with very little push back, it’s definitely punishable on block. So it’s
not something that can be thrown out without fear.</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>The axe kicks is Evil Ryu’s unique
special move, but Capcom has made almost every version of it crap. The only
semi decent one is the MK version. These changes makes that move much more
relevant, but not too strong. I changed very little else where so he’s not that
different from before, except that you may actually use the axe kicks more this
time around for pressure and as overheads. (Time Pants, Rice Eater, Otori). [/spoiler]</p><p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”><br></p><p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”><!–[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>Explanations: </p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>[spoiler] Capcom balanced him pretty well
from AE. Only needs some small tweaks that didn’t make sense.</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>Flame Kick: nerfing antiairs
doesn’t make much sense in this game. All flame kicks were nerfed with 10 dmg,
but M with 20 – so at least equalize the nerfs (-10 dmg for all). The fadc
combo is barely worthy right now anyway.</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>Cr mp: Fei Long doesn’t have big
dmg output, so there’s no need to nerf the dmg of his pokes</p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>H CW: nerfing the dmg was
understandable, but 40 dmg reduction is way overboard. Right now H CW has less
dmg than M version, and coupled with the loss of invincibility from Super is
just too much. I say settle for the middle 120 dmg (so L-100, M-110, H-120). </p>
<p class=“MsoNormal” style=“line-height:150%”>CW: chicken wing connecting on a
cross up is something very rare and very difficult to time. There’s no need to
remove it, it’s mostly for fun, to spice up Fei’s game.</p>

AR-SA”>Cl MP: an uneeded nerf. Fei Long doesn’t really have character specific
combos, so removing one of his few doesn’t make much sense. The combo works on
8 characters, and the dmg was already nerfed. Plus, is one thing that could
make Fei more interesting to play. (Emanuelb) [/spoiler]</span><span style=“font-size:12.0pt;font-family:“Times New Roman”;mso-fareast-font-family:
