Interesting changes....

[Reality]

Yo Aris I want a mp3 link for the latest podcast like the first one so I can put it on my mp3 player. Did you forget to put it up? Don't want to stare at a youtube for 1h plus amigo.

[Aris]

@reality, Should be ready by the end of the day.

[Qeruberosu]

Not gonna lie, when i saw "character balance changes" i got a little worried they were gonna fuck shit up, SC5 Style.

"Fixes for display glitches."

what does that mean aris?

[rewre]

so does that mean console characters will be released to the arcade?

[Wonkey]

@rewre

They don't go into detail about what display glitches but it shouldn't be too severe. It was probably some icon or something that keeps popping up or incorrect spelling of sorts.

Oh and no word on when the console characters will be released to the arcades.

[FoxSt3v3]

the first thing I'd fix is the staple damage off of a Chreddy Safe, 14F, Counter Hit Confirm~able Mid Combo starter that can lead to mix ups on block.... CH b+1,4

Keeping the move and the mix ups is potentially fine... just scale that ludicrous damage please ^_^
