Who's everyone playing?
I've been playing the demo (cracked) on P.C since it dropped. Alot of characters have some crazy but good changes. A few inputs for Xiaoyu's moves have changed, and she has a good amount of + on block moves to keep her pressure going. Shaheen is no longer boring. He's really glowed up with new combo enders, options from his stance, conversions and his jump cancel. They did a pretty good job at making Jun and Asuka not feel like clones; Asuka's install is very unique. She also has newer + frames on block.
My sights are set on Jun and Raven. Raven really glowed up, he's not in the demo and I didn't play him in the beta but watched a lot of footage of him. I like his shadow clones and new stances. I was a bit bored with Jun at first but after going through her move set in the demo, I think she's going to be a top tier or upper tier character. Her wall damage is dumb, her stance cancels and mix-ups make her feel a lot like the Helena of Tekken. She's a complex character (gameplay wise) but that's what makes her unique. I could be completely wrong, and she ends up being low tier lol but will still play her. She seems to have a full tool kit; good normals/pokes, good punishment, good tracking - Landing some of her tracking moves gives her +13 on hit which set ups her for guaranteed moves that go into heat, a lot of 50/50's, good handful of + on block moves, good sidestep (but not Lili sidestep tier), and a good backdash.
