Although he already laid to rest the notion that a new character will be revealed, he does promise a demo of the new features in Tekken 7.

Pokkén Tournament player and commentator H2 demonstrates Gardevoir okizeme changes in ver. 1.5

Gardevoir is shaping up to be a much stronger character in the latest arcade patch of Pokkén Tournament. In particular, her neutral has increased dramatically, thanks to knockdown buffs off of 8X and push-out buffs on the normally unsafe Psyshock.

But H2, a Gardevoir main and frequent face behind the commentator’s booth at several majors, wants you to know about how Garde’s wake up pressure works differently in 1.5.

The problem, as H2 notes, is that the buffs for Gardevoir’s neutral buffs in 1.5 actually mean they can’t be used in Future Shock oki setups anymore. To get the same reset potential and guaranteed chip damage, instead, you’ll need to use a properly-timed meaty 5Y. Ultimately this is better for Gardevoir, because it gives the advantages of both of her current okizeme options in one setup, but it’s much more difficult to time a meaty 5Y.

Combining all this with the fact 5Y is getting increased range, it sounds like a lot of Pokkén players are going to get slapped by these Gardevoir buffs.
