MKXL Patch Notes 3-29-16

[Redux]

I need more details on the smoke changes please.

So regular smoke bomb is safer

Ex smoke bomb is less plus on block

He got damage scaling nerfs?

Anything else???

Ahhh, I wish I was not at work. ...

21 is +17 down from +24. and s3 got nerfed too. check the smoke forums for more finds

 

[SyntaxPoint]

Who actually thought Bo Rai Cho needed nerfs, maybe damage a little but come on. This is just ridiculous

 

[Shirai Ryu Dog]

No more 50/50's lol sike

That would be the best thing ever

 

[SM StarGazer]

Mournful. Nuff said.

 

[aieches]

@EMPEROR PRYCE @FluffyKittenPops

Spoiler: ANGELINA SAYS

we must stay in the shadows

 

[Shirai Ryu Dog]

they fucked Kung Jin hard

Im sure he wont mind

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

lol at least they're still working to make online better. That alone makes me really happy.

 

[aieches]

Im sure he wont mind

first time i actually laughed out loud today..

well done you

 

[Wigy]

OOOOKKKKKK. Cyrax mains, all of you. If what strykie said is true, our character is still top 5. I mean, i think we're overreacting here. Yes, he has no midscreen 80% guaranteed loops with throw mixups, that was kind of a little bit too much. But he still has STANDING armor.

His normals are total garbage, pokes especially? Literally what is good about him now aside from decent meterless damage?

 

[Numbskull727]

But f13 push opponent far away and freeze slowly flying and...
Its work in the corner ( b1 and f13 )

f1,3 still works on big guys like ferra/torr

 

[ninjutsubreh]

Typical TYM over reactions

 

[CrimsonShadow]

• If a breaker is initiated while the attacker is below ground it will no longer animate faster than normal

My day -11 tech is gone, might quit MKX

• Some knockdown reactions now longer reset the buffered combo damage scaling used by unavoidable off the ground situations

Ruined, wtf Paulo

• Made some corrections to movelist frame data

Ruined

• Alien - Adjusted the collision of Towards+BK to no longer miss against some duck blocking characters

BUffed alien?? How could they buff Alien he was already broke?? Thanks Paulo

• Alien - Away+BK is no longer high attack immune for during its active frames

Ruined, I paid good money for this character, now he's nerfed through the ground due to community complaining.. Another promising character ruined, thanks Paulo

• Alien - Adjusted Tail Flip to address it sometimes missing against some characters if they were duck blocking

Now Tom Brady won't have to quit the game

• Alien (Acidic) - Can no longer win a round from poison damage

NRS robbing players of justifiable wins, gonna play SFV

• Alien (Acidic) - Acid Blood is now +1 on hit (down from +11)
• Alien (Acidic) - Erosive Blood is now +8 on hit (down from +38)

ALien has no offense now, how am I supposed to get pressure? MKX is becoming a defensive game

• Alien (Konjurer) - Fixed a bug that caused Facehugger to sometimes remove Kung Lao's hat for the rest of a round

Ruined
Also is there a patch for ForeverKing to find his shoes

• Alien (Tarkatan) - Adjusted Away+BP to reduce it missing against some characters if they were duck blocking

How could they buff Alien, he was already broke? MK9 was better

• Alien (Tarkatan) - Straight Slice no longer builds meter on block

This is all thanks to me showing my tech, never making a video or streaming or playing in tournament ever again

• Bo Rai Cho (Dragon Breath) - Doing Ground Fire or Ground Blaze while in a combo adds some combo damage scaling
• Bo Rai Cho (Drunken Master) - Doing Drink or Chug while in a combo adds some combo damage scaling

RIP, we hardly knew you, another normalized character due to knee-jerk forum posts

• Ferra/Torr (Lackey) - Colossal Crush will now correctly combo from a hit

Broke

• Johnny Cage - Tweaked the 2nd hit of Nutcracker to remove some instances where it could miss from a some duck blocking characters from a certain distance

Gonna be 9 Johnny Cages now in every Top 8, thanks Paulo

• Kitana - Slightly increased the range of Down+FK

• Kitana (Mournful) - Adjusted Glaive Return timing on hit to combo more consistently from mid screen to full screen

Kitana players always crying about their character and they buff her, maybe I should cry about Ronin

• LeatherFace - Towards+BP is now +8 on hit (down from 13)
• LeatherFace - Towards+FK is now +15 on hit (down from 20)

How is he supposed to beat Cyrax now? Unwinnable matchup, thanks NRS

• LeatherFace (Butcher) - Skull Smash & Skull Fracture now have 8 startup frames (up from 6)

• Liu Kang (Flame Fist) - Adjusted repel regions of Windmill Punch & Windmill Flurry so the last hit is harder to low profile on block removing his option to 2in1 cancel it on block

Calling it now, Liu Kang beats the whole casts 9-1 or 10-0 thanks Paulo

• Quan Chi (Sorcerer) - Added code to Dark Curse to not add armor if he being juggled in a reaction. This is currently not active because it would likely be more detrimental in most cases

If I was smart enough to understand this I'd probably complain about it

• Tanya - Adjusted BP,BK to hit duck blocking opponents more consistently

NRS dumbing down offense, thanks 16 Bit

• Triborg - FP is now +12 on hit (down from 19)
• Triborg - FP,FP is now +9 on hit (down from 19)
• Triborg - FP,FP,FP is now +15 on hit (down from 17)
• Triborg - Towards+FP is now +13 on hit (down from 20)
• Triborg - BP is now +14 on hit (down from 19)
• Triborg - Towards+FK is now +15 on hit (down from 20)
• Triborg - BP,FP is now +17 on hit (down from 24)
• Triborg - BP,FP,FK is now -1 on block (down from -6)
• Triborg - FK is now +12 on hit (down from 29)

• Triborg - Down+FK is now +12 on hit (down from 18)
• Triborg - BK is now +12 on hit (down from 17)
• Triborg (CyberZero) - Towards+BP will no longer sometimes be missing it’s hit regions when canceled into from a run
• Triborg (CyberZero) - Ice Ball now has 26 startup frames (up from 21)
• Triborg (CyberZero) - reduced the stun frames on Ice Ball by 13
• Triborg (Cyrax) - Shrapnel-Port now has armor, does 5 more damage, and causes a different reaction on the 2nd hit
• Triborg (Cyrax) - reduced the stun frames on Net & Advanced Net by 30
• Triborg (Smoke) - will no longer be invisible for some frames when 2in1 cancelling Away+BP,FP or Towards+BP,FP into some background interactions
• Triborg (CyberZero) - doing Drone summon while in a combo adds some combo damage scaling
• Triborg (CyberZero) - doing Dive Kick while in a combo adds some combo damage scaling

• Triborg (Smoke) - Doing Fade-Port & Smoke-Port while in a combo adds some combo damage scaling
• Triborg (Smoke) - Smoke Bomb is now +5 on block (down from +8)

Dropped Triborg for Goro, anybody have any guides?

Overall a few things are clear from this patch:

• NRS hates DLC
• The DLC is too strong
• Zoning isn't viable in this game
• Zoning is probably too strong
• 16 Bit should never have been allowed to balance games
• There are too many patches in this game
• We need more patches
• ForeverKing needs extra shoes
• Injustice 2 will have Captain Cold
• I'm hungry

 

[DDutchguy]

Paulo is like "fuck Tremor in his stone ass y'all". Also fuck Cyrax, though that one was sorta justified. Also apparently, just fuck Triborg altogether (Smoke got his shit damage nerfed wat)

 

[ItachiRaiden1233]

Good patch, now Triborg scrubs and BRC scrubs need skill to win.

 

[x TeeJay o]

Stealth nerf for Tark Alien hmhis damage is reduced when using rekka grab ender. Used to be 37/36% it is now 29-32

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Yes.

Only on wakeup.

 

[KingHippo]

Crimson has the worst trolling I swear to Christ lol

 

[smellyloser]

That's it. I am fucking done. I am close to uninstalling this fucking game. I am certainly not buying MK11 or Injustice 2 or whatever the fuck they make next.

NRS has NO FUCKING IDEA how to balance. No changes to the characters or variations that still remain DOGSHIT.

Kenshi is still shit.
Jason is still shit.
Jacqui is still shit.
Raiden is still shit.
Ermac is still shit.
Goro is still shit.
Unbreakable is still shit.
Fisticuffs is still shit.
Dualist is still shit.
Hat Trick is still shit.
Inferno is still shit.
Noxious is still shit.
Special Ops is still shit.
Lasher is still shit.
Ancestral is still shit.
Marksman is still shit.

And that's not even getting into actual balancing. Those are just the characters/variations THAT I KNOW OF who have NOTHING, and there is NO REASON to ever pick them. And now since XL has been released the only things that have changed are:

Tremor is now shit.
Kobu Jutsu is now shit.
Bo' Rai Cho is now shit.
Triborg is now shit.
Tarkatan is now shit.
Acidic might be shit too.

What the FUCK are they thinking? Who the FUCK thought BRC needed to be nerfed? Who the FUCK thought Tarkatan needed to be nerfed? And why the FUCK were these nerfs put in place instead of saving some of these COMPLETELY USELESS characters/variations?

MK9 was bad with it's 5 viable characters but at least NRS didn't change everything every two weeks. This game has gotten WORSE over time with DLC characters going from being completely broken to absolutely useless. I can't take this madness anymore.

THEY DON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE. THEY GIVE POINTLESS GARBAGE BUFFS TO JASON AND UNBREAKABLE AND FISTICUFFS WHILE IGNORING THE ACTUAL REASONS THOSE CHARACTERS ARE BROKEN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ANYMORE. WHY. WHY?

 

[Eldriken]

Only on wakeup.

Yeah, there's that little bit that I forgot to mention. Whoops.

 

[ArmedCalf]

Lol this is a hilarious patch

 

[ArmedCalf]

This patch certainly did not make Netherrealm great again.

 

[Krabman]

This is justice for all the cyrax players thinking they were good for doing the lamest shit on people with little matchup knowledge.

 

[THTB]

My day -11 tech is gone, might quit MKX

Lmfao

This thread is mad entertaining btw.

 

[SyntaxPoint]

Ground fire now decreases the damage for some of BRC bnbs, that literally makes no sense... At all

 

[ItachiRaiden1233]

Y

You are delusional if you thought Bo was fine. Most of the cast could not even approach him and his cheap fart cloud crap.
