Dunno, but they intentionally did that because of the character overall. Her strings are subpar - poor. SS attacks are not good off raw on block. i35. She seems to be having issues opening people up. Which incase..it may lead the phase 4 player to actually be committed to grab more incase they block so much. As of right now, we can't really ask for buffs because we don't know if that is how she suppose to be.
Overall, don't really care for the character. I do believe she's not really worth 6 cash because she looks just like Kasumi. Probably worth it for Kasumi players, idk.
I Think TEAM NINJA knew Phase4 was Op so they Gave us this for a reason She would be broken without this nerf and Besides we all know Phase4 was going to get nerf anyways just like Rachel So Phase 4.
is just fine People Depend on frames instead of actually playing for more than just a week As i said again i gave ppl a week for ppl to drop phase 4 they couldn't even last a whole Week LMAO. I'm not going to be surprise if i see alot of phase 4 players in Top 8.
This is coming from someone that excels in the neutral and footsies REALLY well. Phase 4's neutral is just really bad in that her 6P mid punch in itself is a risk on block. 3P is not an option at all. You have no strings to scare anyone or make them respect it. All she has is just P, PP and 2P.
I've never said a character was flat out bad in this game before, until now. Phase 4 has very solid damage, and her mix ups are rewarding when she can get it started. But that is very difficult task considering she HAS to get a counter hit. She cannot open you up well at all. Her neutral tools are very bad outside of P, PP, 2P and a few range assests.
