I feel like them intentionally showing it like that means its pretty much in no matter the tears.
Such an awesome change I hope Sim wrecks everyone. Focus really messes with Sim's character design and it will still be effective at close range where you can't use MK.
Sim isn't exactly dominating these days, so giving him a legit tool like that for one of his major flaws makes sense.
The fact that it's tied to MK and not one of his hard attacks will definitely serve to keep it balanced.
Is focus really the thing that is wrecking sim? My belief is that the problem with sim is that he is suspect to being rush down (like vs dive kick characters). I don't recall seeing very often in a match where the opposing character is spamming focus to get in to the point where I say, geez he needs to have a far focus breaking attack.
Having a multi attack far normal may help a little, but it doesn't really help his main deficency, IMO.
Needs to use a more appropriate icon. Here:

I'd assume they have something in the pipeline for helping him out against dive kick pressure. I think any further buffs beyond that to his keep away would turn him into too much of a counter pick gimmick (either picking or being picked against).
They seem to mostly being going for an overall buff method (outside of Cammy so far) to keep everyone happy.
In sim's favor?
Yea he will still be super free to Yun and the like but its a start.
All because sim can break halfscreen focus attacks? I'll take your word for it, I just assumed Sim can get outzoned by Ryu, and once he's in Ryu can rape sim.
LOL?
Seriously though another character that will get screwed is Ken. Dhalsim is currently 5-5 this will easily make that match up 4-6 or 3-7 in Sims favor as well. Ken's best way to enter (much like Makoto) is focus parrying
No more focus parry fireball > focus parry limb
This, but I think a lot of people don't realize that every character should not match up well against every character, or else what's the point of having multiple characters?
Yes, Sim is free to rushdown after they get in, but maybe he should be, since he blows up other archetypes. Want to beat rushdown? Counterpick.
