Hmm , true i guess , but atleast they should make her ex tonfa unsafe or something (example making her not be able to delay it) because its pretty ridiculous to be fair.
if chip, meter building and safety gets nerfed, shouldn't that be enough? I mean if it can only go from "gapless guaranteed punishable" to "long gaps, guaranteed loses pressure/punish by 7f reversals", doesn't that sound fair? I like the rekka mechanic but what I think most people hate about it is that even when they react/read correctly they get shafted by pushback and dynamic blockstun (current online made it seem worse than it is, as well)

So if I were to propose a change, I'd reduce block stun (this will allow people to use normals during rekkas, which they can now but just not early enough because Tanya has too many "timings" in her favor) and the last rekka to a maximum of -4 on block with reduced pushback.

edit: additionally I would make her EX Tonfa Toss punish tech (which is character-specific) universal for all characters (if there were to be any changes, it should be that)

I 100% agree with taking armour off tonfa strike. She doesn't need a safe armoured move that can be hit confirmed into full combo. She already has a a 50/50 armoured wake up option, one again leading into full combo. It only makes sense
If a combination of rumoured nerfs are true, there's no real reason to remove armor of Tonfa Strike, it's a reading tool that has the damage potential of 8% (unless meterburned again), removing it wouldn't help opponents all that much either as she'll prioritize her meter for EX Drill Kick more often (which you can dodge and punish the same way you do her Tonfa strike or even Split Flip Kick; backJIP) and having her Rekkas adjusted might normalize her safe use of armor either way.

"You play weird" It's called being unorthodox ;)

I'm wondering, are you trolling when you say she has a 50/50 wake up or you actually mean it?
 
Tanya needs a lot of help.. more help than some of the characters. Out of the entire cast she is one of the few that is completely dominated by one variation. Tanya needs some mega tweaking for the other two variations can become viable as well.

Thoughts on possible changes from a mediocre player that is a confirmed cheater is front page news?

New low tym.
Mediocre players place top 3 in majors? Dragon is a top player, and has shown that. Whether you contribute those victories to him as a player or his character, thats your call, but its impossible not to acknowledge where he currently stands.

I enjoyed this video, its very level headed and actually makes the nerfs that everyone are saying will "destroy/kill/murder" Tanya, not that bad. She needs to be taken down a notch, and we know she will, Dragon is just preparing for it. I have no idea why anyone would ever bring up his ESL dispute or just straight backlash about this video outside of extremely petty reasons. Thats the new low for TYM.

The worst thing about her is the low execution high reward tier.So kill this bitch.......
 
Am I the only one who thinks if those changes happen she is a good candidate for the worst character in the game?

Or people really underestimate their own. It's no wonder they don't level up.
Do you block this every time? Do you block johnny cages f2 every time? Cause that's also 17 frames. Did wonder woman not have a 50/50 in injustice? (with a 12f low and a 17f overhead)
