Her leg bomber is now gone from defensive stance, so if you want to bounce somebody during a combo, you have to use Grand Spike 2 P+K instead. Vanessa has no low throws in Offensive stance, that sucks, but she has 3 low throws in Defensive stance now. So people could do multiple escape inputs in Vanilla, and it was annoying now you have three choices, B P+G, P+G,or F P+G while in takedown state and they only have a 1 in 3 chance of escaping

The positive things I can tell you is Her lancer Tackle ground and pound is improved.

I will just say that the new features of Final Showdown (new stages new moves better music new characters playable Dural who is a beast with a killer moveset, by the way ) outweigh my ire over the omissions and missteps. Shou (japanese star VF player) Said some in Japan say FS in final showdown stands for 'FUCK SEGA', I'm starting to see where he was coming from. Honestly, they seriously fucked up my favorite character, all for the sake of making the game n00b friendly. If I knew how much they were going to butcher Vanessa's movelist, I don't think I would have been as excited for Final Showdown. Sadly, Vanessa also lost her Gliding Toe, Gliding Middle Hold G, UBK, and her Gliding Slicer, and Gliding Back Knuckle Hold G, UF P. UPDATE: Vanessa's stance switching move is called 'Switch shoulder' and her Prone upkick stance is called Intercept stance.
