Capcom Details Big Balance Update for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

4.1

Capcom kicked off Season 3 of competitive Street Fighter V back in January with the release of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, which added several new modes and some of its own balance tweaks. Now, over two months later, the fighting game developer has detailed an upcoming patch that will be a plethora of balance changes.

This update brings slights tweaks and changes to almost every character, which may shake up the metagame a bit. When it comes to game mechanics, Capcom has modified how crush counters, throw escapes, normal throw damage and v-reversals work on a more technical level. This update will become available tomorrow, April 3, after a bit of sever maintenance.

You can check out the full list of patch notes below to get a better idea of what exactly will be changing:

GENERAL:
Crush Counters
Taking both rewards on hit and frequency into account, changed the combo scaling on crush counters.
Throw Escape
Changed so that a throw break cannot be performed after the move has been input, with the exception of normal and unique moves. This is to weaken the defensive technique of using certain special moves (primarily movement special moves) together with the throw break.
Note: Previously, throw escapes could not be performed only for moves that gave the character some kind of invincibility or armor.
Normal Throw Damage
Increased parameters for characters that have less reward on hit.
V-Reversals
