I thought it was just me, but I've noticed that after doing a Vana run the Zombies are attacking a little differently with their jump attack. They seemed to have removed the grab attack whist adding in a jump attack? I've noticed I'm now taking damage when they jump on top of me.

Not sure I like it, I seem to be taking more overall damage. But that might be because I'm not used to it, can't really tell yet.

Any other thoughts?

I'm happy to see the change.

I'm happy to see the change. The old jump attack was buggy as hell, and zombies needed a bit of a non-cheap buff to make up for them losing their tracking a few patches back.

FSC is now vaguely challenging again! I actually got ground down to 1 pip in a few rooms, though admittedly I still didn't have to dive into capsules or revive at any point.

ya I like the flying knee to

ya I like the flying knee to the face from a Zombie attack, it caught me off guard the first time he did it. I thought I was lagging but sure enough the next zombie damaged me just by grazing by me,

I hated the old zombie jump

I hated the old zombie jump attack, he leapt at me, missed, and started biting air

I'm torn. The old jump attack

I'm torn. The old jump attack was glitchy, but this one has a few problems too. The two things I don't like about it are that you can't bat them out of the air with your sword, and the hit area seems a bit large when they land, in my experience.

Yep, I keep forgetting about the new lunge and just stand to the side a little. It's going to take some getting used to, but since zombies were a joke before, making them a bit more challenging is fun. I wish they kept the grab attack though, since I had some fun making one zombie jump onto another and start chomping.
