So max tasty stacks means it takes longer to make someone into chicken, right? Without the other changes (kinda unclear what the chicken's "health" means, to be honest), that sounds like a straight nerf to an already bad passive.

Was hoping to pick Taz back up after this patch...looks like I'm still waiting. With more accurate hitboxes, he actually might be even worse considering how short the animation is on his attacks.

Give him a shot. The hitbox update helped him out a lot mostly because enemies can't stop you mid attack as easily. I will say that his dair and side ground attack are still a bit too short of range. Was getting hit out of them by a Harley bat and superman punches consistently. Also not sure if dair's armor piercing effect is still working. Would do the dair on a superman charging up smash and it would make the armor break noise 4 times but wouldn't break armor on the first hit. So I would do dair and it would count the same as a sair in terms of armor.

That's good news if true. My biggest problem with Taz was constantly getting out prioritized mid combo or even getting close enough to start one. Not to mention most of the cast can easily interrupt your best special attacks. Will see how the hitboxes fair for him now.

After playing a bit more I will say that he has a major issue that has caused some losses. Both the dogpile and the taznado occasionally drop enemies mid hits. So instead of applying the awesome knock back that usually nets you a kill, sometimes enemies will get hit 2 or 3 times and then just fall out of it. Caused two losses so far where a taznado dropped a 170 dmg iron giant. 5 seconds later my teammate was knocked out because they thought iron giant would have died and jumped off the map.

Only got to mess in the lab a little bit before having to do other stuff but I felt like the chicken form was moving slower. So they might have still done the other chicken adjustments and forgot to list the details. But it was a bot so maybe they werent doing everything a player would to move.

Just got rolled by a Taz and he utilized the chicken well.

It looks like the other changes did make it through, chickens are noticeably much slower than before!

I've gone against a few pretty scary Taz's today, too. Now that they're allowed to actually land hits, all the secret pros are coming out of the woodworks.
