Breakthrough - Hellfire Flame Aura Hitbox

[Eddy Wang]

The very tip of that little flame that is a limb away from scorpion has active frames, which of course hits you when you're trying to punish it after the move gets activated, as much as i love Scorpion i think this is a bit unfair, but is has been there since the beginning, if its not going away now though.

Agree, I always thought that hitbox was too big. Anyway, I doubt anything signficant changes in the game from now on.

@eddywang, simple question about scorpion, his ninj. variation, his 114 is a push back and safe with a BA -2 I think, how am I able to punish his 114 with my f33xxdb2+R2~nip~jip~bf4 , I can do this frequently, and the data says otherwise , blue dragon

This is the least broken thing in this game.

 

[Mitsuownes]

Yes. I know the solution.

Give Quan Chi his meterless unblockables back and Sonya 9 granades by default.

Moving on.

Hold up son, I want my F13~Ice ball CSZ back first.

 

[Matix218]

He most certainly needs it.

Seriously, he does!

 

[BornThroughAshes]

Honestly with all the shit in the game this is far from unfair in my opinion. Sure, the hitbox and active frames are insanely good, but nothing game changing to be be considered broken.

 

[THTB]

Don't really see the issue...

I think everyone that's played hellfire knows this. It's fair honestly he should be able to get it up kinda for free. Now if scorpion had advancing mids and jailing pressure like A list it would make it kinda a problem.

 

[Nedyrc]

Im okay with the range but i think aura should suck you in on block like kung lao's spin to make it easier to punish

lul wut.

Nah, as long as there is overpowered jump attacks like Kotal's etc this is actually fair lol.

 

[God Confirm]

He kinda relies on it having a big hitbox, this really is no problem

 

[Dankster Morgan]

If anyone shouldn't be nerfed it's scorpion. He legit needs this.

No freaking way. Hellfire scorpion already has garbage armor with a risk reward that is always in the opponent's favor. And gets out footsied by most of the cast. The one awesome thing about flame aura is that it makes people think twice about running or jumping in. It is already punishable on block, why does it need to be punished on block at long range too? It doesn't even make sense aesthetically in the context of the move. Flame aura is fire, but KL spin is a tornado spin so it makes sense that the air would suck you in, but not for fire

Thank you for your opinion.

@Eddy Wang Just wanna know how did you pick Kabal ?

Hahahaha

 

[Invincible Salads]

eddy you have the weirdest complaints sometimes.....

anyways. the real issue with flame aura is that it jails off of 21 whenever it feels like it. i think its a breathing hit box issue or something.

It is not unfair because when a character like Sonya Blades arch kick can bypass it every time even the ex version of flame aura, it becomes useless against certain types of overhead and air attacks. Try it and you'll see.

 

[MK FIGHTER]

Once Scorpion is hit it shuts down, projectiles shut it down, ground tremors/pounds shut it down, overheads shut it down, interactables shut it down, armored specials and moves shut it down, xrays shut it down. How much more useless do you want that flame aura to be Eddy? Like really.

 

[JTB123]

Buff flame aura.

 

[MK FIGHTER]

Hahahaha

Mitsuownes, what's your take on the flame aura being unfair as Eddy Wang said? I'de like to hear what your take is on this since you're like the demi-god of Scorpion.

 

[Mitsuownes]

Mitsuownes, what's your take on the flame aura being unfair as Eddy Wang said? [...]

First of all, please don't call me that.

Second, I do not agree with him. End of story.
