So did they just stop mentioning the ender damage changes near the end of the changes or does the second half of the season 2 cast not have nerfed ender damage?
agreed. I really like this about Kim.
It was very apparent in the trailer, which is the gameās showcase to the world and non-KI players!
Man thatās a lot of changes Iāve only read Glaciusā overall it seems heās less hard-hitting ,but has better mixups. Can someone dumb the rest down for me?
Yeah, I agree about the lighting. I mean, Kim Wuās stage was really well lit and I really liked the look of it on the whole, but the way it hit the characterās faces almost seemed to wash them out a bit or make them seem less detailed. At least thatās how it looked on the stream and that was a VERY small sample size to go off of, so while Iām slightly nervous about it, I donāt think itās something I really need to think too much about just yet.
I agree about the features of her face and her actually looking a bit more Korean, same goes with her size, for that matter. Sheās slender, sheās smaller, sheās not just tall and full o bewbs just because sheās a female character in a video game. I think they did a great job with her character design.

My boyās TJ and Jago seemed to improve quite a bit, great new tools. Glad you got beat down, Kan-Ra, you butthole.
I think Kan Ra got more normalized than anything else. The stuff they changed about it him would seemingly make him less exploitable in terms of certain tactics, but I actually kind like some of the new stuff that he got, so hopefully heās a better character all around because of it.

Iām gonna give Aganos another go now, looks beast!
Medium laser is 2 hits, if they shadow counter the first hit, you canāt pip cancel it. I know he is a momentum based character, juggle potential means you have the ability to cash out damage from juggling. Fulgore cannot and wasting the meter to cash out a small white bar would never be worth it. He doesnāt have juggle potential. He can land a few hits until you plop to the ground, but thatās it. None of Fulgoreās enders build him spin speed. Landing the hit after the ender does. Using an ender after a round doesnāt make it useful, that makes it useless outside of when the opponent canāt do anything. Using those enders into the beam isnāt juggle potential either.
If they shadow counter the first hit,the second hit would probably hit them. You keep refering the potential damage as a little small bar. How do you know it will be a little small bar? The new juggles can make it a bigger bar for a cash out. It isnāt he can land a little few hits and the opponent falls to the ground. It was that way but S3 is changing that with the ground bounce overhead,target combo,and new lasers.
Seriously now. Change Mayas MP & HK autos so they have 2 different animations instead of the same over & over.
The only reason I will pass again on her, which is a shame. Was sort of happy with TJās changes.
Two more things from the Patch Notes that are bugging me:
[*] Sweeps are now breakable and counter breakable. Forced quick-rise will occur if your opponent uses a counter breaker, leaving them punishable as expected
What?! 
WHY?! A sweep is an excellent mix-up that causes a hard knock downā¦ For most of the cast, these moves are somewhat slower, and if they whiff, the opponent gets a chance to punish it. Iām sure thereās a reason behind this one, but itās absolutely bizarre to my that it wouldāve even been suggested. Maybe someone from the KI Crew can explain this decision? 
[-] Sabrewulf no longer gets any damage bonus during instinct. He still deals chip damage with normals, however.
If anyoneās saying that poor Sabrewulf ādoesnāt need the damage bonusā for his Instinct, look at all of the fun options that Shadow Jago has during his Instinct. Look at the awesome passive Instinct bonuses that Glacius, Cinder, TJ Combo, Riptor, Hisako, etc. get from Instinct, vs. the inclusion of one move that might help put on the pressure. The cherry on top is that Sabrewulf would really benefit from the 10% damage boost because of the damage nerfs sent out to him and the rest of the cast. Whatās up with that? Iām extremely disappointed with the Instinct nerf more than anythingā¦ 
There are plenty of great changes all-around in this batch, especially for Hisako, Riptor & Spinal, but these changes are a bit too jarring for me. What do you all think?

Sweeps are only breakable mid combo, not when done raw. They initially made them unbreakable because they allowed safe counter breakers. Theyāve managed to fix that so sweeps donāt need to be unbreakable anymore. Same applies to blowouts now being breakable.
Well, I canāt argue with that! 
Great explanation- I appreciate that, MBABanemobius!
My beef with the Sabrewulf Instinct nerf still stands, though!

So basically Wulf is no longer a ārushdownā character? I watched the animations used for his changes, I hope they will be smoothed out at least. They looked a little cumbersome.
Iām gonna miss having a more effective way of DPing jumping Glacius and Sadira, but dat laser doh!
That mini hype beam though.
I wonāt lie though, I feel Fulgore may have a harder time defending against Rushdowns. But I am looking forward to his new H-laser. But unless the enemy is far enough away for it to work it may be too dangerous to use. safe to assume Rush-downs will have it easy.
On one hand his new lasers and new target combos hold alot of potential but I donāt his medium laser will do much for zoning at closer distances.
On another hand though it may be safer when dealing with stuff like Sabrewulf and Orchidās slide.
Also while I was upset about h-laser being nerfed distance wise at first, I used it for juggles and it was still good at stoping players like Glacius who spamed HK all over the place.
I doubt Cyber Uppercut will do me any good in this instance since DP inputs are still pretty hard to implement before the punch. But who knows, Iāve stuck by Fulgore through alot of changes and Iāve adaped when he got his changes in season1 and 2, Iām sure I can adapt to this.
Against rushdown,his new target combo into juggles mihgt help. His new medium laser is bettr for juggles.
