I like her grab. I think she's solid in this version. Am I the only one who thinks so?
How many times do I have to shout to the heavens that I think ZSS pretty good to the heavens? That's the general consensus of the zss boards too.
ZSS players were just upset that her playstyle was changed so dramatically when she wasn't even a problem in 3.5. I mean, obviously she would need nerfs from 3.02 (including nerfs to blaster), but outright removal of some of her coolest stuff is mean. Also, we are mad about her throws because they don't work. Upthrows lag is so bad that heavies at low % can DI in and hit you before your animation ends and dthrow isn't even a functioning tech chase throw like it was intended. All of her throws are basically "throw them slightly this way. Not close enough to do anything, but not far enough for it to matter much." It's just kinda lame and boring, especially since they made her new playstyle so DD heavy.
Basically, imagine if they removed JC on quickdraw and then gave him some other grounded stuff to compensate like a better downsmash and dash speed and etc. Even if it was a really good character, all the ike players would lose their minds.
Anyway, OP, this post is almost certainly going to get moved to the zss boards in a bit and I'll be happy to explain things to you there. ZSS has tons of interesting character specific things and techs that you need to know to play her. Once it's in ZSS forums, I'll show you the world
