What's new

Correction: ALL push block setups now do 0%

Joker was a friend of mine, he was always happy. but he couldn't take being low tier anymore after months and months of depression the news of pushblock nerf pushed him over the edge and he leapt off of the Gotham bridge last night. RIP the Joker you were never allowed to live doomed to a life of low tier with no chance of buffs

The messed up part is that it was just as unfair as stuff that is still in the game.
It's not comparable.
Also, who else gets/got guaranteed damage from defending?

There's literally no justifiable reason to give somebody 38% for defending properly. Unless obviously they block a really unsafe move.
I could put money on it that all of the other unfair stuff in this game you talk about is offense related.

Is WoWo's Muffdive in the corner safe or can anyone punish it? (I'm too lazy to go into the WoWo forums)

Then you'd be broke. Martian: zones all day and then punishes you when you try to move and get around it. Aquaman: abuses FTD from far range and then massively outfootsies everyone when they get in, plus takes 17% every time he touches you. Batman: outzones zoners and stays in as long as he wants. There is alot of dumb design.
 

Immortal Kombat

almost moderate success
So let me get this straight. NRS takes time out of their day to nerf Sinestro, Lex, and Joker, but decide that the clearly dumb characters get to stay the same.
- Martian has a safe overhead teleport launcher, good zoning, ridiculous pressure, 4 way guessing games on knockdown and good damage. Sinestro needs nerfed.
-Aquaman has a move that chips for 17%, almost unmatched footsies, and the best AA in the game. Sinestro needs nerfed.
-Batman gets to do whatever he wants with bats, pressure you endlessly and still maintain a good zoning game. Sinestro needs nerfed.

Unreal. This character is a waste of time.
Good old NRS community. If you cant beat em, nerf em

but when you get in on batman or aquaman or martian you have at least a fighting chance where you could pick right and deal damage. With the whole pushblock thing you wouldn't be able to do anything to sinestro except maybe throw, otherwise he could just walk backwards wait for you to get fed up and try to touch him and take a bunch of life

This wasn't a "nerf" to any particular characters. This was a fix for push block. Which is meant to be solely a defensive tool. Not something to start offense with. However while not being able to do damage, characters are still able to knock the other player down and set up 50/50's off a push block.

Everything you mentioned there is caused by an attack, not a block

How do people not realize that Sinestro's shit is pretty much the same as Lex's/Joker's unblockable push block setups? All of them take resources to do. People need to stop with this myth that it's a "free 38% combo/vortex setup if I block you." Two trait shots and one bar isn't free. What everyone is up in arms about is it's ease of use, but the reality is it's really not any different. Is it stupid? Of course! But no stupider than tons of other shit in the game that is still there.

No, i'm sad because he had a chance to be top tier and NRS decided to remove it.
I can see why you'd be pissed off man but also try think of this from the perspective of all players. Also he still has the ability to do a vortex of this anyway does he not? I'd like to see you try and play as Wonder Woman or green lantern with this tech against sinestro. That shit was already hard enough but with this it was near impossible

Yea, he can land a vortex if he wants to use a bar and two shots for ONE PERCENT guaranteed.

Joker had a possibility to be at least a little more viable. Now it's gone... Joker players applaud you for staying with a character that is still top 10 without this tech. That's loyality!!! Smh.
Also IMO everything you listed is indeed broken AF. But it doesn't break the rules of the game, this Sinestro tech being difficult to land or not is broken AND break the rules of the game. You should be sad if Sinesro was bottom 5 before this tech was found and got nerfed. But the character is top 10... Pls

Dude, this is still useful because rather than just push blocking someone to get them away you can use your trait to push them full screen! You still being able to create a vortex or push characters to the other side of the screen still makes match ups like Wonder Woman and lantern much harder...

Exactly.... and the push block is simply suppose to get a break from pressure, it's not a reversal button.

It's still not worth it.

It's weird with Cyborg. Some setups work fine others give u 0%. Might have something to do with the stun and when the TA hits.
Can you test grounded 112 and f22 TA push blocks set ups?

Also what about ending juggle combos with 2xxTA (midscreen and corner) ?

Any difference between normals and specials?


Got damn this is terrible for cyborg haha
