It is kind of a bummer, yeah. Especially since Gustaff Fire assist got nerfed too. If it was one or the other I would've been okay, but both might be a bit much. I'm hoping the one buff she got (combo after Bandit Boulder w/o assists) makes up for it.
Well, her drills being completely safe are a huge buff, too. It leaves her at 0 frames to her opponent, which means if you got the other guy trained to be defensive, you can just throw them.
I'm hoping they buffed her other normals to make up for her jumping H nerf, and that nobody's noticed because almost nobody knows how to use her on point without jump H.
Honestly, though, as long as she can still combo after her drills, with faster special moves like people are saying, she'll probably stay around the same tier placement she was, and I'm pretty okay with that.
Really looking forward to trying Ghost Rider and Nemesis, too. Originally I was considering replacing Dormammu on my team with Ghost Rider, but Dorm's getting so many great buffs there's no way I'm not using him.
So I'm thinking Ghost Rider/Firebrand/Nemesis as a backup to my original Tron/Dormammu/Sentinel team, though even then Sentinel might get replaced if I don't need him for Tron's more damaging bread and butters anymore.
