What does everyone think of isabelle after her 4.0.0. buffs?

[~The Koopa King~]

Do you think they make enough of a difference for her in the long run?

Faster Lloid and farther rolls are astounding buffs, especially since far fewer characters can run past Lloid or dodge it at the ledge.

haven't had enough experience with buffed Isabelle yet, but i think these buffs have the potential to make her a more consistent character. probably not a top tier anytime soon, but she might demand a little more respect from opponents.

of course they could also not matter much at all. she's still the same character with the same playstyle as before, and marginally better options aren't necessarily gonna make a noticable difference when everything else is the same.

Definitely nice, but definitely not game changing. I think it moved Isabelle up only a couple of spots on the tier list because now everything works how it always should have. Great QoL improvements, but not great buffs.

Either way, Isabelle has been getting some attention lately, so I think she's on the rise regardless. I think soon people will start to see Isabelle isn't a bottom tier anymore.

Sorry for the double post, but I found something interesting that I wanted advice on:

Around the 9:30 mark, Isabelle manages to lock Snake in the corner using only jab. It didn't seem like he was just hammering A, but it seemed like there was a rhythm and maybe even in between hits he was taking steps forward? I'm not sure, any advice on this would be great.

EDIT: Posted in this thread because jab was buffed in the most recent patch, allowing this to happen.

I see, I see. So like, this is definitely getting patched out, right?
