Kain's definitely a fairly high tier character, but he plays alot like old Sephiroth, least he feels that way to me.Originally Posted by Leon
I know man, he was my main for a reason lol. Got to a point where I could kill lv100+ Chaos without even taking a hit, just because of Seph's insane comboability. He went from God tier, to pretty much total garbage. I mean seriously, EVERYBODY else I've seen so far has recieved some serious buffs. New HP mvoes with ridiculous ranges, new comboability, revamping old moves to make em better... what does Seph get?
All DC combos nerfed, as in completely removed. Fervent blow/Godspeed range nerfed. Haven't actually timed it, but the shield duration on Scintilla seems shorter, and the stab after seems shorter. Heartless angel nerfed, now has a 'cooldown' so it's not a good move to use for pressure. As for 'enhancements' he gets... A new brv move that's essentially a different, shorter animation of of SC with wall rush instead of chase and a shorter range. The speed of his EX glide has been increased! Because that's totally a ****ing useful ability right? Oh, and the range on Oblivion is longer, because you know, that's a great move to use from a long ways away, since you know it totally doesn't have a slow preditable startup that says, PLEASE BLOCK NOW BECAUSE WHEN IT STAGGERS ME I'LL BE BEHIND YOU FACING THE WRONG WAY GIVING YOU A FREE BACK ATTACK! I'd say he plays alot like Cloud, but that isn't accurate anymore, since Cloud got buffed. SE was too busy chasing Seph with the Nerf guns to go after anyone else.
