Sagat got nerfed, gief got nerfed, ken got buffed, ryu got nerfed.
Basically a general overall balance. Ibuki is very good now. Don't know if you played 3rd Strike but she has all her reset and mixup shenanigans, a few more target combos, SF4 style links that go into target combos, and her super jump cancel from her target combo of standing lp,mp, crouching hk, standing hk is a whole lot easier. This is also the same SJC cancel you need to tk her qcf hk special which is the move that you did in 3s to get the run under after the launch from the standing hk at the end of her target combo. In other words she is buff as hell now because she does a ton of damage and is fast. However she's still squishy.
Guy is pretty mid tier. A lot of characters flat out beat all of his pokes in every way. His mixup isn't very good outside of the corner. All of his combos are still situational. The most upsetting thing is the way SF4 juggles work took away a lot of his alpha 3 combos. Like final fight combo, link standing lp qcb hk. Which was the way he could combo into qcb hk anywhere on the screen in Alpha 3, but they took that away since in Alpha 3 an air hit was a guaranteed combo. Overall he's pretty hard to play compared to other characters, and he's not the same goodness that was alpha 3 (He was top tier in that game because of his amazing normals and high damage output.)
