Since I've only seen this on the Busa forums thanks to @
Brute I'll post Shoryuken's article on the changes here:

This patch is okay. Mostly unnessary stuff, some bad things, some good/great things. Really excited about the changes to Ein and I might make him my 5th main because of them. 33T is feared again!
The hold damage buffs were nice too.
Pretty happy about Leon's changes. Not much to say here.
Busa's were mostly unnecessary but the hitbox changes are nice-ish. I'm worried about 33P though. I think the Izuna 33P Shoho Izuna combo looks amazing and does great damage, so it would be said if that were taken away with the given re-float height adjustment. Doesn't specify whether the change is good or bad though. They might even make it easier to do the combo!
Alpha's changes make me very happy. They nerfed Alpha's bullcrap like having insanely quick recovery for B.U.R.S.T. and having super-delayable KKKKK strings, but made 66T easier to do by making it 6T instead. Alpha's parry is also faster now, but has more reasonable advantage on guard and I'm curious what exactly that start-up stance change with do for 9K. As a whole, Alpha is now a bit more fair for everyone and I'm saying this as an Alpha player myself.
Solid patch overall. It's good that there were any gameplay changes at all and I'm very grateful that the 33T input is fixed.
