IGAU: Official Patch Notes v1.06 (9/24/2013) + "Mystery Skin & NRS Live Stream regarding changes"

[Galactic Geek]

Personally, I'm just happy with all of the non-character changes & the buffs to ALL 3 of my mains: Lex, Grundy, & especially Lobo. As for everything else, I'll see how it all pans out when the patch lands on Oct. 1st...

 

[RoGE]

Deathstroke

Deathstroke is already a solid character with a (now) more viable trait, now he can get more safe traits on various knockdowns. He pretty much gets guaranteed damage off it so nerfing his gun damage during this was a good move. -my 2 cents on this

Batman
· Increased recovery time for the Stay Down combo (Back + Medium, Hard) when it is blocked or misses.

Not knowing the exact amount "increased" exactly mean worries me a lot. I was expecting the trait duration "normalization" (in fact, I think it's good for balance terms) but this... I'm worried.

P.S: Damn, Black Adam, just.... damn.

 

[ApocaLips]

Deathstroke trait massively nerfed... AHAHAHA WTF

 

[JRosa21]

any way to get this front paged or stickied?! PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW

 

[Dr. Handsome]

So......who wants to play MK?!?!?!

 

[Rathalos]

King of the Hill Challenges – There is now a default KOTH challenge assigned to you.

What does this mean? Will there finally be a challenge window pop up when its your turn to fight? So we can have proper streams now?

Or is it something stupid I'm missing?

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Oh, they managed to add input buffering when blocking? That's incredibly awesome.

Excellent job, NRS.

Added to alternative controls only

 

[RONALD ROGAN]

GL did NOT lose his vortex. He just lost his anti-wakeup force-stand options in his vortex... which IMO is fine b/c that shit was frustrating and inconsistent anyways.

 

[A New Angel Is Advent]

Black Adam
-fixed an issue in which he was getting wins.
I'll still play him, and I'll treat every round as a salty runback against nrs. I hate all of you.

 

[Tony at Home]

Love how Aquaman's trait was soooo dirty, it got a cooldown nerf, and THREE characters have patch notes dedicated to "no longer glitches against Aquaman's trait"

 

[Akae47]

Be objective people please...........

 

[DarkPage]

feel bad for black adam... only cause superman is almost still superman. but yo i mean im pretty sure lobo is gonna be a great character

 

[Error]

Like I said in the BA thread:

New intro pose, Black Adam runs in like Billy Batson, shouts "SHAZAM!!!" reverting him back into Teth Adam and he disintegrates.

 

[CongoFury]

WW untouched..perrfect!

I think its time I rekindle my relationship with KF..

Hmm...raven is not even mention in this patch...i guess she is the most balanced character after all...

Poor Black Adam...

It's probably just so it can be punished on whiff. I've seen people jump over me after doing it, and I can still block even while I'm still rolling almost. That thing is WAAAY too safe.

 

[LEGI0N47]

i'm a bane player but dang i feel like they did black adam wrong

If you're a Bane player you shouldn't. And you should be mad that all projectiles counting as projectiles wasn't a general fix.

 

[ryumanjisen]

I agree, that's thing is too safe. If only it's it can be punished if someone jumps over you, I'll breathe again.

 

[Aris_adapted]

RIP THIS FUCKING GAME

 

[Obs_SmSwag]

Lol, Wonder Woman absolutely untouched. Reo's salty

 

[Name v.5.0]

Input Buffering in Advanced Controls - After Blocking in Advanced Controls, you can now buffer special moves without resetting to a neutral position on the controller.

Am I stupid, or does this mean with Advanced Controls on, you can more easily do D1~Special?

Why only on Advanced Controls? I'm sick of fucking weird buffer issues. Some characters like Zod can really suffer from it.



Also...a universal walk buff would have been spectacular.

 

[lawzoers]

The damage reduction on MB F3/B3 is huge! It has the potential to revamp the metagame as we know it.

Not to mention a straight buff to bounce cancels.

 

[Eddy Wang]

Green Arrow gets buffed. YES!!

 

[Fred Marvel]

GL did NOT lose his vortex. He just lost his anti-wakeup force-stand options in his vortex... which IMO is fine b/c that shit was frustrating and inconsistent anyways.

ah thought so, thanks for clarification
Also

Green Lantern and MMH now tied for best character

troll post? lol

 

[Rathalos]

Offline Restart Match - From the pause menu of an offline versus match, you can now instantly restart the match.

Oh, I guess we can skip long ass win poses now, neat.

A lot of nice quality of life changes in this patch.
