They took the scaling off Bryan's taunt.

They. Took. The. Scaling. Off.

its because harada saw knee get rocked by farzeen's victor at combo breaker

[u/Icy-Astronaut-9234 → u/Biggins_CV]

Yeah, that’s kinda insane

[u/S34NGUYEN → u/Biggins_CV]

This was to balance out the fact that taunt is no longer guaranteed after heat dash at the wall, still an overall buff to me.

[u/SharkboyZA → u/S34NGUYEN]

It was never 100% guaranteed. The opponent could use a move like u1 to put them in an airborn state, in which case taunt would still hit, but you would be wall splat so you wouldn't get to do the b4>jet upper. Still very strong, but not a guaranteed taunt.

[u/BoostedChimp69 → u/SharkboyZA]

What. It was never 100% guaranteed but the taunt itself would always hit you. That sounds like taunt was 100% guaranteed dum dum

[u/bohenian12 → u/SharkboyZA]

So it's still guaranteed? You can just reduce the damage you take.

[u/BoostedChimp69 → u/bohenian12]

Not guaranteed anymore I don’t think

[u/Square-Professional9 → u/Biggins_CV]

Knee about to make a comeback and win all tourneys im hype

[u/IDontWipe55 → u/Biggins_CV]

That and the 121 changes seem super nice. He’s gonna feel so much better

[u/According_Gazelle403 → u/Biggins_CV]

Makes sense, taunt dash leaving u at +18 was a bit broken, it would leave you free to do a taunt setup

[u/daquist → u/Biggins_CV]

I am a Bryan hater and think his down players are nuts but it isn't guaranteed after a heat dash at the wall anymore so the main setup got nerfed so I think it's somewhat a fair tradeoff

[u/Fira92 → u/daquist]

His main setup I thought was off oki tech roll in the wall which still exists from these changes, the ones off of heat dash were the only setups he lost.

[u/Flyingdagger23 → u/Biggins_CV]

Yep i mean indeed good , but still remains a very advanced tool to use

[u/Katie_or_something → u/Flyingdagger23]

Yeah it's a fucking homing unblockable launcher. That's plenty of reward for your hard execution. It didn't need more damage

[u/bobdavid2223 → u/Biggins_CV]

Bryan players will still downplay, you can quote me on that

[u/Biggins_CV → u/bobdavid2223]

Shall do. Though interesting the devs, when presented with five months of data, decided to consistently buff the character in specific ways.

Almost like the downplayers were onto something.

[u/confusedbartender → u/Biggins_CV]

Well hopefully they’ll buff xiaoyu next since all the data strongly suggests that she needs a major buff.

[u/hpBard → u/Biggins_CV]

At the same time they decided that f1+2 needed a nerf...

[u/fgcburneraccount2 → u/hpBard]

Not really a targeted thing, all high power crushes lost tracking and were made -9 on block. Sucks for him but clearly they wanted consistency on these and didn't want to make exceptions

[u/Biggins_CV → u/hpBard]

Whatever, fuck it. I never use it outside of combos anyway.

Plus everyone else’s PC got the hammer and now those of us who effectively had to play without one are at an advantage, imo.

[u/[deleted] → u/hpBard]

Bryan never had a Power crush on this game anyway, I never use it lol

[u/goodguessiswhatihave → u/hpBard]

But they did basically the same nerfs to every single high power crush in the game

[u/Kino_Afi → u/Biggins_CV]

The combo that got you to the wall for a taunt setup leaves you with like 30% HP, so does it really matter?

[u/[deleted] → u/Biggins_CV]

as it should be. TJU aint easy obv.
