Wooooooow, well that's just great. Balance at its finest right there.

Oooooo helloooooo...

...I ought to look very closely into that video and judge for myself.

I will try it in the lab once I get home and see if I can replicate it in DOA5U.

If not, I guess we will have to wait and see whether the PP4PP7K would connect near a wall.

In DOA5+, 4P+K PP6P~K looks just as slow as in the trailer but PP4PP7K does not land. It may look like a buffed launcher but odds are, its not.

In short, I wouldn't worry.

She can get a lot more than aforementioned juggles. I'm still the only Ayane player that actually takes advantage of the better free canceling in this game.

I'm sure Kasumi will get 420 new moves with that nerf she received.

That...doesn't quite acknowledge her concerns but good for you regardless.

Ayane gets buffed because 97% of the people who use her offline get wrecked.

Force, look into her concern to see if it is actually a buff. The basic premise of this status is the concern that PP4PP7K would land after counterhit 4P+K PP6PH.

The point that I am making is that the launch is the same in the current versions, yet that specific string does not land near s wall. Ayane is still recovering.

As of now, no one actually knows whether or not she got buffed. It is, and will be, speculation until patch notes release.

It probably won't add much relaunch potential, but any relaunch off of Ayane's BTPP6P is definitely a buff, especially around downslopes and corners. Then again it may barely add anything significant. We'll know once the game drops.

Well, the point is that I am mimicking that exact scenario and the launch looks just as high and just as slow - and yet, the PP4PP7K string does not land. Therefore, we do not have suffice evidence to prove or disprove any alleged buff.

So yes, as Force said, best to wait.

Alright, so I tested the exact scenario on DOA5U, on a big screen, and replayed the video a good dozen of times as a comparison - and it does look like it is a higher launch.

If it is in fact true, will it be character-breaking? I don't think so. Is it a buff that I think she needed? No. lol

Give me BT 4P+KP GB xDDD
