General/Other - Kotal Kahn [EO Beta Closed] Kotal Kahn Beta Changes

[Qwark28]

You don't even need armor to punish, u can punish that on reaction with Liu kang's F4 whose start up is 10 ,, frames, so any thing faster works

Armour is the go to punish because it's the safest. If you mistime a punish you'll get hit by a Sunstone or swords.

 

[jharris]

only thing that needed changing was 114 whiffing and the f/t air grab and sun choke whiff issues, neither been solved?

Very true tho, but its not too difficult to pull off imo.

 

[the.hamburglar]

YOU CLEARLY DONT PLAY SUNGOD.

lol why do you capitalize everything

 

[Eldriken]

What is the pizza buff

EX Pizza eats projectiles.

 

[dennycascade]

EX Pizza eats projectiles.

No fucking way. Is this true!?

Also did they buff sun god's variation logo? I could have sworn it did not have a skull before.

 

[perfectghast]

On block the opponent can jump out of the command grab after b1,4. But you can play mind games and do DF1 or EX Pizza and catch them in the air. Using armor is the best option out unless you guess right

@Qwark28

Do you have the beta? If you do, you think you can make a video of said changes to KK?

 

[Wigy]

Wait. Surely fast armour blows up b14 every time?

 

[xA1SinceDay1x]

If b14 tick connects on block annnd hit you guys cant possibly complain about b1 not ticking anymore

So true....

 

[Pnut]

b14 tick sucks ... who cares just armor. Most armor specials in the game just punish b14 and there's nothing Kotal can do lol.

 

[WiseM0nkey]

Honestly the changes overall hurt Sun God. B1 leading it to potentially greater damage always made the thread of b1 tick throw scary. Now they don't have to deal with that pressure. B14 command grab can be armoured out of or jumped.

Overall not good changes for Kotal. Was a shame that it seems Blood and War God are left relatively untouched too. Was hoping Blood would get an Armour move of some sort.

yeah sure..... an Armored move to Blood god

 

[TKB]

Great to see all this kotal players who have never been to a tourney complain about b1 not ticking lmao. If your opponent isnt just eating back 1s and hitting you for 50% when you whiff they dont know the MU.

Lol and that's why you don't just cancel b1 into command grab every single time. You do realize you can just complete the string b122 into grab right? Go right ahead and stop blocking every time I do b1 and eat more damage.

Haven't played MKX in months, I had the game torrented on PC to occasionally lab but deleted it a few weeks ago.

 

[CarlosOceano]

Blood God did not need armor. The nerf to back 1 tick was needed even less. Pizza buff is really nice tho!

 

[TheRealOnlyGoonie]

FOR REAL PEOPLE DONT REALIZE B14 IS SHIT.

 

[mattnin]

FOR REAL PEOPLE DONT REALIZE B14 IS SHIT.

It is not shit. It's a great high damage combo linker. It's harder to execute than b12 or 21 but it should be since it has even higher damage output than b122.

 

[El_Rubio]

Someone said that 4 in B14 is faster, is that true?

 

[TKB]

Someone said that 4 in B14 is faster, is that true?

Yes, if only slightly. B122 feels a little faster as well.

 

[AZTEC-GOD]

Someone said that 4 in B14 is faster, is that true?

It seems like it, also thought b122 was faster. Not 100% sure though sorry.

 

[P3irce]

Anyone want to test if ex pizza goes through grandmaster clones ?

 

[buyacushun]

So has anyone tested every grab cancel? Cause right now it's looking like his only reliable ticks are off of pokes and weird timing off of jump ins.

 

[Phosferrax]

b14~anything isn't good.

 

[AZTEC-GOD]

b14~anything isn't good.

It is if you condition your opponent.

 

[Pnut]

Ex sword throw was nerfed ... only hits once on block now
