MK9 patch in the works?

RTM2004

Revenant Jade
Only patching that they should do is fixing meter drain and input bug if possible or fixing online servers.
Patches can't fix these real issues in MK.

Patches can really only balance the current characters and buff low tiers which would be a good thing.

Jade needs three things to be used and seen more in tournaments.

1)needs 12 to link into staff slam to get a punisher. (9f)
2) Restore U3 to a mid so that she gets her footsie game back
3) Make Kenshi's "apparitions" projectiles so she can rape his face.

Fun fact: Did you know, some of the former top UMK3 players help designed and tested characters like Kabal? It wasn't just Injustice, you know.
From what I've heard, everyone thought that Kabal's dash cancelling was broken when they first found out about it, but that wasn't going to be removed.

On Friday, Mr. Boon was talking to Tom and PL when that was brought up. He said that the patch was done and ready to ship around the time Injustice dropped but I didn't quite hear why it wasn't released.
 
Armored Neckbite would be nice. She needs a new D1, that shit is stupid.
Let D1 the way it is not all characters are suppose to have a good D1. Besides I'm so used not to use it. What Mileena needs is definately armor on neckbite. And maybe also make the move only -2 on block so it can be used after a D4.

I also remember reading in an old post that second hit EX teleport should be an overhead. That would help her too, it would improve her pressure.

Low ball is gonna make her broken so forget it.

But to be honest even if a patched happened, unfortunately I doubt they are gonna change anything on Mileena. At least they are gonna help her inderictly be nerfing KKKC.

During EVO Goldfish and I had the opportunity to talk 1 on 1 with Ed boon when we ended up on the same elevator. I asked about the possibility of a final mk patch and boon told me that although he couldn't say much they recognize the need for it and talks are currently happening. What that means exactly Is unclear at the moment but it sounds hopeful. They really want it at EVO next year. What do you think of this and what changes would you hope to see? I hope quan remains untouched except for a 6 frame move added to deal with that dickhole Johnny cage.
Not only a patch/update but...

MORE DLC!

Reiko, Fujin, etc... imagine the hype?

Are ya' ready for MK11 kids?!
Yeah the idea of "well this character has this move so we should nerfs their pokes to compensate" really needs to be scrapped, at the very least.

Not only a patch/update but...

MORE DLC!

Reiko, Fujin, etc... imagine the hype?
Reiko is already in the game, y'know, that fellow who sits on the throne in Outworld? #Kappa

In all seriousness, let's not get ahead of ourselves (even if it means Robo Smoke), I can only see more DLC happening if this "patch" is UMK9.

They should just come out with umk9 in a year or so on next gen consoles. Update the animations, graphics, add like 7 or 8 new characters, new stages, and of course balance updates based on community feedback. Imagine mk9 with the graphics of KI3....dem particle effects :O
 
They said they couldn't patch p1 advantage and all that shit so why bother. Just wait til MK10, keep playing MK9 in the meanwhile.

So if Injustice is now what it was then, what was the point of testing it if we just ended up with about 5 patches anyways.

Probably because most testers don't spend an eternity at NRS, but rather, a few days, and even those who stay longer have so much shit to figure out that there will always end up being broken stuff, infinites, etc... that players will later discover. I also really don't think top players who are brought there to test have as much influence as you think. Ultimately, NRS will do what they want with the game. Testers are there to consult, help, etc...
