Holy mother of buff lists. F2U2 just got a WHOLE lot better. Sucks that you can cancel from B2 and B33 on block now, that hurts FA and Shotgun but is a buff for High Tech lmao. Standing 1 and 4 getting faster is alright but it's the range that's the problem. Glad she has better pokes though. Air Fake Out combos are going to be HYPE! Kinda sad that they didn't buff the speed of Tech Shield but oh well. LOVE that low blast now stuns all the time, that's going to make for a SUUUUUUPER dirty corner game.

So they buff his best variation and buff Cyber's already best attribute by giving him another good anti-air and nothing else. Ok lol. Commando making 32 more useful is good, would've liked to see more ticks though. I guess the new Cutthroat damage buff combos will be cool to see, if anyone decides to play Cutthroat anyway. Hopefully the Up Laser MB combos are worth it, if they do less damage than spending the bar on normal combos then the buffs might not even be useful. Good to see they're buffing Up Laser into utility though.
