BLANKA
-Rolling Attack is easy to use for surprise attacks and chip, but since there's a large hittable box surrounding Blanka, it's actually easy for it to be stuffed by your opponent's attacks.
-All versions have the same hurtbox, but EX is projectile-invincible
LP Rolling Attack's hitbox
-Normal Electric Attack only has a hitbox at Blanka's head, but because the hitbox spread over the front and back, even if you do a low attack up close, you'll get hit
-You can beat the attack by using low attacks from a distance

MAKOTO
-Out of Makoto's specials, Fukiage has the biggest change
-The hitbox is extended downward, while the hurtbox on the arm has been significantly reduced
-Since the attack reaches lower, you can hit your opponent with Fukiage during lvl.2 FA crumple, allowing you to use it in combos
LP Fukiage's hitbox
-cr.MK's hurtbox is smaller, making the move easier to use as a frontal anti-air

DEE JAY
-EX Jackknife Maximum is slightly buffed
-The hitbox of the first hit has been expanded to the foot, making it easier to land
-The opponent's falling trajectory has also been changed, making it easier for all hits to connect
EX Jacknife Maximum's hitbox
-All normal versions of Machine Gun Upper do more damage, though the mashing difficulty to get maximum damage is slightly higher, so it might feel tougher to do compared to Super
T.HAWK
-diagonal j.MP now has a 6F startup (2F faster)
-st.LP hurtbox is smaller, making it easer to use as a poke
st.LP's hitbox
-Raging Slash's (UC2) startup is now 3F (1F faster), with a larger hitbox, and is completely invincible until the end of active frames, making it massively improved over the SSFIV version
