MKX Hotfix 6-1-15

[STRYKIE]

Ya Liu Kang needs some love... like overhead combo starter

What did they do to Jacquie ? Did they fix B2 starter ?

He has one, God forbid some characters have to press more than two buttons to make a mixup work.

However, the Jacqui fixes give me hope that we can campaign to get Liu's hitbox issues fixed.

Ermac untouched... kenshi being buffed...

Considering that F12 string was frame trap central, and Raiden already having lots of tools at his disposal.....This makes it harder for him to frame trap. If you know what to expect, you can punish him for it now as opposed to before. That minor change is a big deal.

It wasn't a frame trap. F12 is -3 on block. You have 9 frames to do something.

 

[Wetdoba]

He went from bottom 4 to top 2-4

But then people will finally learn to neutral crouch telefury and he'll be back to bottom 4

You are severely underestimating the power of the Shoulder Barge.

MK9 Vets remember...Kenshi is Coming.

 

[RyuKazuya]

KENSHI !!!!

Where does it say teleflurry is a high

 

[ChaosTheory]

I'm no conspiracy theorist, but there seems to be a correlation here.

 

[Wetdoba]

Where does it say teleflurry is a high

it has always been one, that's not new to the patch, it was just so negative on block before there was no reason to try to duck it, now there is and its still got crazy whiff recovery

 

[Cossner]

Raiden still has the 44% vortex in the corner, a ridiculous meter building string and the best punisher in the game and you guys are crying because he can't f12 Quan chi to death anymore?

 

[Sultani]

Mileenas d1 is now a 9 frame... cool, so now it's broken two frames faster. Make it not wiff point blank. God.

*cast

 

[Sultani]

Man, so i cant just ex parry the predictable f12 for 46% anymore cuz people think its bad?

 

[Sultani]

Kenshi mains are rejoicing. Someone that they will actually listen to should explain to them what exactly the problem with mileenas d1 is. Her changes dont really do much of anything.

It wasn't a frame trap. F12 is -3 on block. You have 9 frames to do something.

You're not wrong. It does indeed have a 9 frame window, but some characters still got jailed for free because of it. So against a decent portion of the cast, it WAS indeed a frame trap. You could always just complete the string and be safe anyway. Also, it's not a terribly big thing for Raiden to deal with, it just means he has a chance to land more overheads since everyone is gonna be expecting a high.

 

[IMakeItL00kC00L]

So instead of just nerfing TG and making f12 like -5 or -6 or whatnot, they nerfed that and his other 2 variations that aren't nearly as strong.

*facepalm*

 

[ZeZe]

Oi, NRS you forgot this -> SubZ's klone does not disappear on block any longer.

 

[NapalmCL]

You could always just complete the string and build a ton of meter while being safe anyway.

Helped out.

 

[Eldriken]

Gonna drop Jacqui and pick up Brokenshi.

Senpai @Pig Of The Hut, take me under your wing so I can make it rain tears.

You mean against like 3 or 4 characters which most of them got 8 frame or faster pokes in this patch lol. Yeah I don't know how huge of a deal f1 being a high is. Won't know until I play a lot. It seems like a huge deal... but don't want to over react. Just... hopefully it's not a huge deal since he doesn't really have any other mids aside from b1 which is still 7 frames lol. Just don't know what all b1 leads to.

 

[Awkward Sloth]

See complaining about your character does work you guys. Buff Tanya she needs it her d3/4 are too bad and she can't handle pressure.

MB fireballs need to be over heads and plus on block like MB Zod Balls. I mean she has one less ball than Zod that's so unfair.

Takeda is too fast now. He has good everything not fair and balanced. #BlametheFlashPlayers

 

[Big Pampering]

F1 being high is a huge nerf. Raiden is still possibly top 5 though. I'm sad they didn't change ethereal. I'm glad kenshi got buffs but did he really need that many?

If he is still top 5 its not a huge nerf....

I.... don't think that quite applies when it still has almost twice as many startup frames and there's generally a lot more characters who can punish it in close quarters than in MK9 lol. It's been a few hours, let's see how these changes come into practice.

Also, for anyone wondering, the hotfix is now live for PS4.

IT IS? WHOOO. TO THE LAB.

It's not live for me. Must not be for the US.
