What's your wishlist for the new balance patch?

Dragon install! GIVE ME DRAGON INSTALL. DAISUCKER PLEASE. I NEED THE READY OR NOT. besides that, riot stamp and sidewinder as air only special moves on 214P and 236P. sidewinder probably with very heavy same move proration or we might end up with sol having even higher damage than he did at launch.

my other main, axl doesn't need jack shit. j.2S or some kind of special move equivalent would be nice to get back.

**and of course, Sin. ohh boy do I have a wishlist for sin.**

make beak driver not minus on hit and slightly less minus on block.

​

let Sin use any followup from any special. P for hawk baker followup, K for elk hunt followup, S for hoof stomp followup, H for Beak Driver followup.

​

K followup still yeets far away like it does now, but it is +11 on block if you use gazzelle step immediately after. idc how the frame data has to mess around to make that happen, he's spending two stamina on this he deserves big plus frames. 2 stamina takes a full 5 or so seconds to come back, and he actually needs to have the opponent block a special before he can even CHOOSE to spend that much meter on +11.

​

S followup becomes 0 on block. I want Sin to actually have a 100% safe blockstring ender at close range and this is good enough. plus, it will leave him in the opponents face and neutral frame advantage so it will be incredibly useful to preserve screen positioning vs zoners after getting in with elk hunt and not wanting to spend the 2 stamina for K followup into gazzelle step.

​

H followup is now +3 but has 15 frames of startup and leaves a 2 frame gap when cancelled from beak driver on block(again, idc how the frame data needs to be changed to achieve this), giving beak driver an actual use since the opponent has to mash throw or reversal to beat it, but beak driver is long enough that it'll whiff if Sin doesn't press, turning beak driver into a mixup on block that leads to sin getting a punish or geting in if you guess wrong or play it safe and just block. also a risky pressure rest after any other special since the slow startup will be mashable but if they don't react in time or are afraid of a frametrap you are now +3! YAY!

​

also make beak driver just less - on block and not minus at all on hit so using beak driver without the followup is an actual valid choice. and give sin's far slash a use, currently it's pointless to ever press that button. make it like Sol's 6H- fast and far range but you die if it gets blocked.

​

oh, and in return for all these buffs Stamina now has a set 3 second per stamina recharge period instead of the weird system we have now where using a followup pauses it for 2 seconds or 1 second for gazzelle step and then it starts recharging again at a variable rate depending on how much stamina sin has left.

​

a lot of these numbers are negotiable and even some of this would make me happy and I'm no game balance designer, but rn it feels like Sin has to spend stamina just to do stuff other characters can do better without spending anything. I want stamina to feel more like a big button to press when you want to push your advantage a lot instead of a button you need to press to even be playable but it's locked behind a crappy "only x presses allowed per minute" timer.

​

also it would be nice if still growing gave you back stamina like it used to in Xrd. maybe even a digestion system where you have to wait 5 seconds after eating but get a free extra 2-3 bars of stamina that do not recharge on top of the three recharging ones you have. currently the move is literally just a taunt, it does nothing.

***for some wackier suggestions:***

let sin do elk hunt and beak driver in the air. no followups, hard knockdown.

make his current jump dust his j.2D and give him Sol's jump dust with a different animation.

give axl Benten again.

give Sol dragon install 2nd

give KY dragon install second, accessed by using dragon install while already in dragon install. it just deactivates dragon install and makes Scum dipper plus on block.

let Sol do gun flame in the air. he just slams down to the ground instantly.

let Sol do fafnir in the air. it would be funny.

add holy order sol and remove him immdiately citing balance concerns just to troll the entire playerbase.
