Alright, I'll just a throw out a list here of the things that would help NW, but not change his plan dramatically in the tier list.
Fix Mb staff spin whiffing
Fix flip kick whiffing on crouching opponents
Fix the air dash glitch where NW's characters spins rapidly
If possible, fix the fact that certain huge characters will never be crossed up by flip kick
Make his backdash recover faster in escrima, to help with his defensive options since his d1 is slow
Make his forward dash recover faster in escrima, to help with his problem against zoners
He doesn't need a low starter in escrima, his d1 in staff to be a low, or anything crazy. NW needs his bugs fixed, and his mobility tweaked so he has better offensive options for dealing with strong zoners, and better defensive options to deal with offensive characters who can disrespect his lack of "get off me" tools.
i like all of it, in fact i love it, is it gonna happen, i really really doubt it... NRS wants off this game already they just want MK10 now.. if some dedication where to be given to this game to make it close to what a final product should be, they would need to fix so many bugs and so many characters that it would take them a long long time... NW has everything he will ever need... the problem is with the system itself and how it works...
this game has HUGE stages yet it has the slowest walkspeeds iv ever seen in a fighting game.
Dashes for 90% of the rush down character have really big recoveries while some sooners can dash just as fast and recover probably faster
Major Bugs all around be it stage/character/frame specific this game is riddled with them
Misleading information like Mids not actually being Mids and whiff on certain crouchin opponents
Stages where the wall doesnt let you go anyfurther but specials and other stuff go thru making certain characters drop from combos for instance Zods MB heatvision doesnt recognise the corner and continues making the character drop out...
i mean the list could go on and on i rather not make this any longer pointing it out, fact is i doubt this patch will fix any of this stuff...
