Yeah, people still havent realized that this was a developer fix list and not a game balance patch.
1000 times this. Was Balance affected? Yes. Right now every single character forum on TYM has a thread burning their character to the ground about how bad they've been nerfed. Even Erron Black has a thread talking about how bad the 1 frame jump nerfed him. Yes, Erron Black.
As a Raiden player, I still feel he's very much still top tier and his damage was nerfed but he's still Raiden. He still has many ways to rack up damage, so he didn't need 50% combos in the first place.
JC! he will be the wild card at evo! someone is just camping out with him not showing his stuff off so he can take that S**t with an unknown gimmick. lol. Also no one even did any successful traps or set up at #TXS so really this is @Tom Brady fought for showing off month one of the game. messed it up for every body! lmao
The thing is, and all the other Cage players agree w/me (I'll always be a Cage main by heart even though I'm maining Raiden): He is a GREAT char............in the wrong game. MK9? This guy would be retarded top 5. This game, which depends on everybody have 50/50 marvel combos? No. He's still an annoying chip char, but he can't sustain pressure like he used to. A-List requires stamina. So after 2 cancels, you're done. Stunt Double? Clones run out after 2, then 3 hours of cooldown. Fisticuffs is LOL useless. There is almost no reason to duck against him. All he has is 113 (the 3 is the low) to nutpunch. Oh boy. You can mix up 11 to F2 overhead but 11 has probably the shortest jab range in the game now.
You know what else people cried about/wanted?:
Yes Qwark. Find and share tech! I'm sure things are still possible
thats my point. there was so much that could have been address but wasn't. And to those that are tired please go to sleep then. That will be a few less (multiple expletives)
As someone who mains Johnny, I watched you video explaining how to punish the clone. According to that as long as I have 1 bar of meter at every given point in the match, it should be just too easy for me to punish. Get real, even in your video you proved that for a character like mine without a bar to burn I just eat clone pressure strings.
So does Reptile. We're even now.
That is the most bizarre part of this. Is this typical TYM behavior to react to dev fixes with chaos?
Because this wasn't a balance patch. The devs said themselves it was to make sure everything was working as intended. There was a glitch with the clone that caused them to give it a cooldown. The only real nerf was being able to make them disappear on block.thats my point. there was so much that could have been address but wasn't. And to those that are tired please go to sleep then.

R: If you have to blame someone blame NRS for making the decision, not the community.
Granted, Grandmaster is probably the worst match-up for Lackey. BUT, Vicious is in turn, probably the worst match-up for Grandmaster. Think on it, this is the sort of thing that variations were made for.. It is supposed to be like this; Some variations will happen to dominate others, but the player now has the option to turn the tide by counter-picking with another variation of the same character. Imo favorable/unfavorable variation match-ups shouldn't be any cause for nerfs. Why should unbroken stuff get nerfed to begin with.?
Nope. not like it maters but who do you think pointed the cooldown out? also i agree.Because this wasn't a balance patch. The devs said themselves it was to make sure everything was working as intended. There was a glitch with the clone that caused them to give it a cooldown. The only real nerf was being able to make them disappear on block.
Once again, this crying rhetoric falls flat on its face because there was a 25 page thread of people shouting that he shouldnt be nerfed. If NRS actually did listen to us, he wouldnt have gotten nerfed and a lot of other characters would have gotten changed. And quite frankly, we have no idea how our ideas would affect the game and the balance would probably end up being shit anyway.
TL
Then why stay? At this point a good 50%+ isn't even about the patch affecting GM Sub and tech after.
A 17 years old that has won countless tournaments and is pretty much the man (boy lol) to be beaten. I say he has much more voice than me, you or anybody else in this thread combined.
And you are saying this and so sure about because....?
Nice way to handle it.
