SFV AE - April Patch - Rashid Critical Art Nerf
19Quick tech video regarding the latest April 2018 AE patch.
In Street Fighter V AE's April patch, Rashid now runs out of invincibility frames on frame 18 of his Critical Art, making it substantially easier to V-Reversal him on reaction if you have a 17f startup V-Reversal (Many of them have been normalized to this startup speed).
SPECIAL NOTE: Blanka has a 16f V-Reversal but it is active for 3 frames, which means it will still hit on the crucial 18th frame needed to counter Rashid's Critical Art. This appears to be the only V-Reversal in the game with 3 active frames and may have been expressly designed for this purpose, as it was established upon his release version.
In other words, Capcom has been planning on nerfing Rashid to prevent him from scoring CA chip-damage kills before Blanka was even released.
For 12F V-Reversal Characters: this absolutely means that characters with 12f V-Reversals will be completely helpless to avoid a CA chip damage kill in this situation: Zeku, Ken, Chun-Li and Zangief.
===Evasion-Type V-Reversals===
The following characters with Evasion V-Reversals will also be inescapably trapped due to the new recovery frames imposed upon them: FANG, Ed, Kolin
Characters who can completely evade and even possibly punish Rashid after the V-Reversal: Vega, Menat, Nash
