Guilty Gear Strive v1.11 patch notes - All buffs and nerfs

Guilty Gear Strive is set to receive a new DLC, Happy Chaos, and with it a patch that addresses some important gameplay bugs.

One of the most egregious ones involved May, perhaps one of the strongest and certainly the most oppressive character in the game. 

With patch v1.10, May's horizontal Heavy Slash (Mr Dolphin) got a damage buff and overall rework that made it a more impactful tool, however, since the Wall Break values were not adjusted, it meant that May could output massive amounts of damage.

With a new fix on the way, May mains will now have to work harder to find high-damaging combos as it means current optimised routes will likely not be useful due to Wall Break activating earlier.
