That's one thing I was thinking about changing, maybe make 21 hit mid on all characters but making another part of his game more punishable. It just feels dumb that he can't do anything really vs the likes of Sonya but can pretty much hop around all day on the rest of the cast at times. I guess you could leave him the same but I think with the nerfs to the top characters he would be number 1 losing only to Sonya, Cage, and Kitana but I guess he could be left the same
right now he's barely in top 10. kabal, sonya, kenshi, freddy, cyrax, are all better than him outright and there's 3 or 4 more dangerous tournament characters. i dont think kenshi, freddy, cyrax, or sonya need nerfs. kabal absolutely does
Proposed cage changes: ending animation needs to say "he got caged" (or "she got caged" for females) at the end of rd 1.
Proposed Cyrax changes: Slight increase in damage scaling from normal bombs and leave the reset or take out the reset and leave the big damage combos (maybe buff damage by a couple % in that case). He's a killing machine, lbsh, by design he needs it
Proposed Jade changes: For fuck's sake make her not awful please. other low tier characters at least have dirt or are fun to play, but maaaan.
Proposed kabal changes: 3-5 more frames of recovery on iagb. -1-3 cancel advantage across the board. Character now S, but not S+
Proposed kitana changes: armor on ex cutter, 14f startup on iaAss, b3 hits low, cutter -1 on block, ex cutter +1 on block.
Proposed kun Lao changes: 2 hits mid. buff scaling from 3spin in the corner in juggles, ex spin 6 frame startup, make 1, 11, 112, and 1121 -3 on block, make 4 +6 on block (still wont be used, lol), make f2 0 on block and +4 on hit, decrease the number of frames you can hold grinding hat by10% (it doesnt say how much it is in the frame data
Somberness), make jiptele4 hit all characters in the corner (it whiffs on females).
Proposed noob changes: make upkneee -5 on block. reduce recovery of runner and slide by 4 frames each. make d1 + on hit (vs crouch). make ghost ball 18 frames startup
Proposed scorpion changes: d3 is +4 on hit
proposed sub-zero changes: increase the area where ice clone doesnt come out. make ground freeze 20 frames. buff damage scaling slightly
proposed universal changes: make all moves hit where they look like they should hit. this affects quan chi, lao, ermac, nightwolf, sonya, baraka (dat fucking gut punch overhead), and smoke. Normalize gravity; certain characters fall slower or faster than others (e.g. c.sub falls slowest, liu kang falls slowly, scorp falls quickly, sheeva falls fastest). correct input bug, correct meter drain, reduce negative edge.
(gotta be a man of my words)
