It takes a brave game designer to take an good move and make it better. It takes a braver one to take a bad move and make it worse.

The creation of Miguel's b,df4

00:00 - 00:05 Mr. Murray comes up to me. "We're making a new move for every character in Season 3."

00:05 - 00:07 Hurry up, you're in charge of Miguel.

00:07 - 00:10 Lucky me. I hate that characteyr.

00:11 - 00:16 SAV df2, SAV db3, his playerbase is nothing but spamming scrubs.

00:17 - 00:21 So we made his new move a low.

00:21 - 00:24 A low!

00:29 - 00:31 A low!

00:31 - 00:34 Miguel has like 15 lows!

00:38 - 00:40 A low!

00:41 - 00:47 The guy has one useful mid

00:47 - 00:50 he has SAV df2

00:50 - 00:56 but that's getting nerfed!

00:58 - 00:59 One mid!

00:59 - 01:01 And we're giving him a Snake Edge

01:04 - 01:06 Miguel already has

01:06 - 01:08 two Snake Edges!

01:13 - 01:14 A low!

01:14 - 01:16 And it's reactable!

01:16 - 01:20 Take that you scrubs!

01:21 - 01:27 But wait, this low is still too good! Way too good!

01:35 - 01:36 So it doesn't even launch!

01:36 - 01:39 It's a counterhit launcher.

01:41 - 01:44 But seriously, it really was too good.

01:44 - 01:47 After SAV uf3, this gave you a guaranteed followup.

01:47 - 01:49 It was like 40 damage.

01:50 - 01:53 So now it doesn't hit grounded.

01:54 - 01:56 A low.

01:56 - 01:58 And it doesn't hit grounded!

01:58 - 02:02 Try to use it for oki? It whiffs!

02:05 - 02:07 A low!

02:10 - 02:11 It's- it's

02:11 - 02:13 *wheezes in Spanish*

02:15 - 02:17 Bryan has this crappy low

02:17 - 02:20 We basically copied it for Miguel's new move, input and all

02:21 - 02:28 But you can cancel Bryan's, and you can't cancel Miguel's!

02:29 - 02:30 You're committed?

02:30 - 02:32 You're stuck!

02:36 - 02:39 All 27 frames!

02:40 - 02:42 And it doesn't even high crush.

02:50 - 02:55 It's his worst low by far.

02:56 - 02:58 It's worse than his Snake Edges?

02:58 - 03:04 They're weaker on counterhit, but faster and high crush.

03:04 - 03:09 Not that it matters since they're all getting blocked.

03:09 - 03:11 And SAV db3 is way better.

03:16 - 03:20 So we nerfed that too.

03:23 - 03:26 We wanted to "encourage" them to use the new low!
