2.0 最烂的一个版本，还不如之前的S4，至少还能爽玩。平衡补丁想一出是一出，左右脑互博的改动，最尊重玩家练习成果的游戏。把好玩的角色改的无聊把角色特色改没。降速招新？GG特色就是角色互赖，真想立回拉扯我干嘛不去玩街霸。游戏不好玩哪来的新人。2.0这么一改新人来了也没攻略看，为什么？之前的连段都打不了了都成了“废攻略”。改的新人留不住老的也要跑。我看还是卖的太好了，都别来玩，垃圾游戏。 2026.5.21 最不尊重玩家练习成本的游戏👎，打了几年的东西说改就改。改动想一出是一出左右脑互博顾头不顾腚。什么叫玩家26D用的太好超出我们预期要删。 SOL加炮拳弹墙加大升龙直接上墙让你用炮拳打连段，后面又加大升龙派生删炮拳弹墙让你用升龙派生打连段，有你这么改的吗，按着玩家头用新改的东西。PO当时删移动附加给补偿了指令投霸体和判定距离，移动附加没过几天又回来补偿的增强还在，造就了胖宝宝传奇，改的时候懂脑子了吗。先不说HC重做的有多烂，搞了一个开枪取消开枪，整出来无限开枪压制，知道要比赛还不改，不想用想都知道不知道怎么改，后面削无限压制还把其他招砍一刀，这HC还能玩吗。还有什么RA脱手飞剑 NA一刀崩防打2 3割，改的时候根本没懂脑子。越改越烂越改越无聊，还是那句话，垃圾游戏别玩。
