Do you think so? In it's current state yes it would be, but the move needs to change regardless, the biggest issue that lies within
is that it registers as a GB but the fact it's so highly punishable makes it a ridulous risk to take as a whiff punishing tool, almost every character can launch punish it and the remainder can simply throw punish it, the reward you get for landing it on CH isn't comparable to other whiff punishers in the game (45 dmg on CH, a recoverable knockdown and if you land it as a wall hit you can't follow-up after because of it's recovery), it's hitbox is also highly bugged and will whiff the majority of the time if the opponent is not front facing, again crippling it's ability as a whiff punisher. The move deserves to be safe (atleast -4) because of those reasons. I know we have
which is +5 on block but it's not suitable to close distances at a 28 frame start-up, don't see why you would use that move outside of launching anyway she doesn't need the + frames on that move. BT
on the other hand is not easily accessible and shockingly slow to setup outside of oki with
and another move which has an unreliable hitbox . When you have characters like Tina where all of their GB moves are safe, I don't think it will be criminal to give
some love. Reduce the active frames because she doesn't need them and increase the start-up so players can react better to it by way of SS,
or whatever means they choose.
As for her changes, they're nothing crazy. I think it's safe to say nobody cares about her rope
buff, lack of tracking on
series isn't a huge loss but
loses it's reliability as a safe, ranged poke string now which was something I used a lot.
giving crumple stun on NH is great news and essentially changes it to what it already does on CH, but as it's hold escapable (you cannot throw punish if it's held as well because of
's super long recovery, setting critical hold to fastest also grants the opponent +1) and
is a high she cannot combo afterwards and the only reliable mixup you have is
and
since
track whereas
does not. Not sure what the
buff means but I guess it's a positive.
