Updated: Results for SSF4 AE and UMvC3 through the top 8 have been posted along with most of the characters that were played. Also, you can see an embed of the finals after the jump.
Who died? I only catch the stream when they were talking about it, and I didn't listen to any name.
@4 Relax, dont be disrespectful, and pay your respects where they are due.
So many WESKERS real talk!
How to nerf him so people would use other charcters
Nerf his hitboxes. Most combos work on both sides of his body.
Make his attacks slower.
Make his OTG hit box REAL and not HUGE like it is now.
Make the OTG come out the same but activate slower.
Lower his Xfactor Speed and Power
REMOVE THE GLASSES power up. It's not in his character or is necessary!
Make his teleports have recovery. It has like 1 frame of recovery. Make it 3.
Gun move does half the chip.
NO LONGER can teleport after gun!
Max Wesker can not cross up randomly.
System wide change!
The camera now zooms back at all accordingly at all times except super jump. That way mix-ups from him and others can be measured. Instead of guessing when a new character is coming in what side the aggressor will be on.
The fastest way to nerf Wesker:
- If his glasses are broken: Do not allow him to X-factor. If he uses maximum wesker / tags out / gets tagged out then his glasses are back on
- Reduce the % of damage when glasses are broken
- Reduce the % of damage during x-factor
- 950,000 instead of 1,000,000 health
The only problem with him IMO is the damage. Nothing more
- This coming from a Wesker fan btw.
If someone uses someone else than Wesker, X-factor than brings in Wesker, the X-factor bonus doesn't add up if his glasses are broken
@#6 so far from what I heard it was a seizure it stems from a condition he's had since childhood and it resurfaced.
R.I.P. SK one of three amazing Rose players I had the chance to come across.
I meant that's another thing I would remove to balance wesker to be like most of the cast and not have BS

Noel Brown said you can mash Okami Shuffle...That's um...VERY WRONG!
He did say Wesker is the best in the game...that's news.......
R.I.P sksksksksk222
From one Rose player to another, his put mine to shame.
Bless his family & friends through this tough time.
There's also a thread on SRK about what happened:
http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?...
I've fought of lot of Weskers in my days in Vanilla. Still do in Ultimate. Half the times I actually won against Wesker players, I often was forced to sacrifice one of my characters just to take him out. He's does a lot of damage for very little effort and is very quick for a character with above average health. Every time online, scrubs do the same combo over and over (LMHS MMHS Gun OTG, assist, and then relaunch) and it's still annoying as hell. And that sunglasses buff was not needed at all. Capcom really needs to learn how to actually nerf characters effectively instead of thinking that a simple health nerf will solve the problem (like they did with Phoenix and Sentinel, though the latter kind of deserved it.)
1) Ok. Wesker's buffs on this game = unnecessary. His damage output rockets now and due to his speed up without his glasses, the shortened combos due to the nerf on his gun and increased hitstun scaling from assists = negated.
Remove glasses buff. Remove his new 236HH combo potential, the better frames on the moves they buffed and you've got a character that's still good, but due to the hitstun scaling nerfs and his gun nerf, not as good as Vanilla.
I'm a Wesker player and i'm annoyed with his buffs. It makes me want to drop him.
RIP sksksksksk222. I never talked to you personally, but i've seen you around, and as a fellow Rose player, I can't help but feel like a big part of me has been removed from this world. I hope your family and friends can get over the greaving stage as quick as possible and remember you for the genuine guy you are and always will be.
um.. spencer is the best char in the game..don't know why your all whining about wesker. Spencer can one touch kill you without Xfactor and 1 and a half bars
Wesker should have gotten nerfed instead of "nerfed"
Wesker is good But he's useless against Dark Phoenix!
Capcom balance team has really gone downhill. Everyone, from the scrubbiest scrub to the best in the world, can tell what's overpowered and what's useless within a week of touching the game. And yet the balance team proves to be clueless. It usually takes 3-4 iterations of a Capcom game to get the simplest understanding of what balance means.
Yes, the balance is so awful that Wesker was chosen by 3 people in top teams, 1 using him since Vanilla constantly as well, and there are 15 different characters used in this top 8.
The 2nd placer using characters that are NOT rushdown and nobody thought were viable(see Morrigan/Joe comments anywhere)
Clearly, a failure.
Thank god we have geniuses here that know what is best concerning balance and can truly comprehend the full metagame within 2 weeks.
I believe we are confusing the players skill level with the strength of the characters we are using.
Though I think it is funny how Noel Brown uses Frank West primarily for his assist, just to replace Akuma. No stepping out of bounds for him.
Wesker is definitely a strong character, but I don't he will clearly be the best character (like Wolverine and Phoenix in Vanilla)
"...and you do NOT want to throw up against a player like Dieminion." lol
So sad :( RIP
