>>94364237>then play classic why even use modern if it's a downgradBasically its a cost- benefit thing. For most characters it isn't worth it, but in some you lose so little and get so much it is worth the price.
Two particular cases are Bison and Luke, which keep all their medium punches and lose stuff that isnt that great, and one gains insta scissors and the other gets the best turtle game of them all, which is why you see both around in high elo where there is usually no other moderns.
Other cases are Chun, who after buffs keeps her full set, and Cammy and Juri because of their divekicks
