Update: This story has now been updated with the complete patch notes for the the Ver. CE202105 release, which is available to players now.
We previously knew Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition would be going down for maintenance tonight, but we didn t know for what exactly before.

Mika, Rashid, Zangief, Laura, Dhalsim, F.A.N.G, Alex, Ibuki, Balrog, Urien, Akuma, Kolin, Abigail, Menat, Sakura, Blanka, Falke, Cody, G, Sagat, Kage, E. Honda, Lucia, Gill, Seth, Dan and Rose.
5 moves that should be nerfed in Street Fighter 5 s next balance update Posted by John Velociraptor Guerrero • January 7, 2021 at 3:40 p.m. PST • Comments: 71
It s been a good year now since we last saw one, but Street Fighter 5 will soon undergo a new balance update for 2021. The game has already been refined a handful of times over the last five years, but there are still a few attacks that are clearly too good and that ultimately sap away from the fun of the game when they re abused.
I ve gone through and selected five such attacks that I think should be first in line (though they re in no particular order) for a good beating via Capcom s nerf bat when the next update rolls out some time in later February.
