Mediocre patch overall. Was more pleased with the S2 patch notes of Tekken 7 tbh.

I'm gonna disagree with you, but I play Astaroth so I'm biased.

Fair point, good patch for Asty mains. They needed it.
1
For how low tier Astaroth supposedly was, I feel like a lot of people played him. Do a lot of people just like his play style?
1
He was OD in previous Soul Calibur games and a tremendous scrub killer. In SCV, he had damn near infinite setups at the wall if you couldn't tech properly for instance.
1
He’s the only pure grappler in the game and he’s super fun. If there were more characters of that archetype in SC I think he’d have less play.
1
there's no real "main" character in SC, so just about everyone gets played.
Talim's not bottom tier but she has by far the lowest winrate (she's upper mid IMO)

I might jump into this game now that Tira doesn't appear to be the servbot of this game anymore
1
I'm still on the fence about getting this game.

What are you waiting for? Game is pretty alright now and the patch looks to make it mostly better.

I loved SC2, hated 3 and 4. Kinda like 5, in your opinion would I like 6?
1
i'd say SC6 has elements of both the best of 2 and 5, they just added the controverial RE to make sure nobody liked it too much
i'd say that but i actually like RE :(
4
Yeah experiencing RE and SC in the beta guaranteed I wouldn’t pick this game up. Such a shame, they were so close to perfection.
1
Not him but yes, games like 2 and 5.
2
It tones down a fair bit of 5's bullshit, kinda slows pace with soul charge and reversal edge, and keeps step killing with Run Counter, but the game also makes movement good again.
I'm enjoying it as a player who only liked 2, but I would say you should find a character you think is sick enough to warrant dealing with some bullshit before playing.

Tira with 3 pages of buffs and I'm still not sure that she's out of Dan tier
She's likely playable, it looks like they tried to give Jolly the ability to not get run over in neutral which is a really good start. Not like patches are ending early this game anyway.
Looks like more DLC beyond the Season Pass was datamined out confirming what you said.
