Was watching 2 videos. his power got nerfed from S Rank to A Rank and they added guards to the Tower (ninja girl, ugh)

I hope this is not a repeating pattern. I hate patches SO much

They patched it? Groooooosssssss.

Yes they did, in February.

Anyway, the changes since the early Tower videos seem to include:

1. All damage except the delay kick reduced from S rank to A rank

2. Added 1f or 2f of startup to the spinning fists. While not totally huge, in Tower that's a breaker

3. Seemed to put a hurtbox more on the spinning fists.

Looks like I need tp update the rules so pre 2/17 runs aren't accepted

I'm going to try to run it again soon, but yeah, spinning fists (or lariat as I called it because Haggar) was everything. It was arguably the best move in the game. I'll have to see how impactful the nerf was in terms of gameplay.

Just ran a Mysterious Warrior story mode and beat my time. Not sure about the Tower, but doesn't seem to make a difference in "story" since the fireball is still king.

Antho, it's a big difference in Tower. OHKO's became 2HKO's, and stun time adds up, plus you get hit more........

Someone put up a broken time anyway (hehe)

Also, to be fair, there's a BIG difference running 40F and 100F in the Tower, the 6:43 time proved that we were being way too conservative, playing 40F like 100F.

And yes, the nerf definitely affected your run negatively; however you were a lot more practiced and optimized so your time improved a lot.
