If Capcom keeps giving mostly buffs across the board, we'll soon need some universal damage reductions

Be it small buffs or large buffs (except for Ed, sorry for you Ed mains...) overall the whole cast is getting more damage and better oki. More guess situations means defense is becoming more and more of a roulette.

I get the choice to mostly buffs instead of nerfs, nobody likes their character to lose options, lose damage, lose oki... But on the other hand, it means that rounds will be decided in less and less interactions. Guess throw twice and you're dead. Get PC on neutral twice and you're dead. The more characters are able to convert small hits into big damage, the more volatile the game becomes.

Imo we should need some overall reductions soon. Be it damage across the board (say everything does 10% less damage), or reductions in super meter gain or drive gain.
