He can now store Gamma Charges from other actions, making him formidable throughout the entire match.
She has excellent pokes, can transition to multiple stances, and has many 50/50s to accompany it.
She’s horrifying when she gets going.
There are very few downsides to Asuka’s gameplay now.
Devil Jin
Want another character that can obliterate you with a barrage of mix-ups?
Devil Jin has finally received buffs and is now firmly one of the best offerings in the game.
And she is much stronger now.
Nina is much more aggressive now, which makes us shudder just thinking about it.
The nerfs keep him from reaching the likes of Bryan, but he’s still an excellent character now.
Kazuya has received said buffs, making his offense downright vicious and seemingly hopeless to deal with.
Lars
Next up is Lars, who also received nothing but buffs, placing him firmly in this tier.
Overall, he is remarkably strong in Season 2 and deserves to be picked up.
Clive
Clive was a menace when he was first released.
Clive is back for better or worse.
Rejoice, Eddy fans; Eddy is back to being Eddy.
Heihachi
Being a Mishima, Heihachi is naturally weak to sidesteps.
Heihachi was already very good in Season 1, and now he’s just that much better.
Lidia
Lidia is another character that was decently strong in Season 1 but was a bit challenging to play.
They also received unique heat moves that are very strong, so beware of the bears for another season.
Now, that has changed, as you could buffer Dragon Charge, making it substantially easier to execute.
He’s still very, very annoying, though.
While that does align with this patch’s overly aggressive design, he still feels very tame overall.
His damage output is also still very high, and his new tools still make him quite formidable.
And lots of them.
Overall, he’s still strong but was oddly targeted with nerfs.
He can also transition into his Lingering Shadow stance more frequently, giving him access to more 50/50s.
Feng may very well be better off now, even with all the nerfs.
He plays so differently that he belongs in this tier, even if he might technically be stronger overall.
She’s a shell of her former self, and it’s such a bummer.
