New game mode: everyone gets a 9f mid...




... And Liu's F4 is now 3f

 

My grandma works at NRS and I've got the inside scoop on some of the 3rd variation names...

• Baraka: Anti-Dentite
• Nightwolf: Thunder Chief
• Frost: Frostitute
• Kung Lao: Hattitude Adjustment
• Kollector: Taxman

Still waiting on the Subzero variation "Blue Balls"

 

Would love a "No Fatal Blows" game mode. My online win percentage would go up at least 5%

 

Fixed with new link.

PLEASE LET THIS BE A THING!

 

I think it will be some team k/o or elimination mode!!

Either of those would be hella dope.

 

i will claim full credit on several variations if they happen to exist

i will claim outrage if they don't exist

so I got something to do either way, passes the time.

 

So it seems like they just added a new rule in pro tour saying that any variation released at least 14 days prior to a pro kompetition event is gonna be legal.

I was expecting 3rd variations to come after ECT but after reading that I can defnitely see it happening later this week or next week.

 

Jax's fatal blow is now a high

Glad they're coming in faster; but here's some food for thought, will future DLC characters only release with the standard two and have a third added later? Or will they release characters with how many variations are already made?

My expected variations that will actually impact how characters play/ will be worth looking at:

1. Kitana (fan toss combos with upward fan toss)
2. Sonya (I'll be curious to see what they do with her)
3. Jade (has to get the combo extensions which would make her less of a zoner)
4. Skarlet (all buffs will make her a more upclose fighter)
5. Scorpion (misery blade stance will be interesting and very mixup heavy I think)

 

A new mode, huh? Wonder what that could be...

 

New mode might be the new "pvp" Krypt area that got leaked a few months back.

Progress is fucking satisfying.

I will cheer my lungs out if they add Tag Kombat.

 

will this have anything to with the 3rd slot in gear?

 

Liu Kang's forward2 will become a 5 frame overhead to patch up where he is lacking something.

 

So tomorrow will be new game mode, patch, AND third variations? That's crazy.

Jax's fatal blow can't be the ONLY balance change they made. I'm pretty happy with the game balance but if they help out Frostbyte and finally make Ridicule useful I'll be a happy camper. I've given up on Kotal but if a third variation has a decent set of moves I'll go back to him.

Don't play with my heart

So we can expect balance changes as well.

I just hope the tweak some moves as is, Kotal delay yecame disk for starters.

 

Oh lord the new mode worries me...whatever it is, sorry I'm a pessimist lol
