Doombawkz's Incredibly incorrect patch suggestion thread

Doombawkz

Trust me, I'm a doctor
Because the 5 billion other ones just aren't enough.

This is my opinion, but keep in mind it may be so incredibly wrong that some may feel I should lobotomize myself with a rusted rail spike. To that note, yeah probably. These threads are dumb to begin with, but I figure I might as well make one as well.

To save on space, find the character you are interested in and click the spoiler to read.

See something missing? Feel your character is neglected? Its my list, so too bad (though I am open to people's opinions and will likely edit it to fit what seem like logical needs that I might've overlooked)

P.S. EDIT
I also want all mids to be true mids so people will stop saying they want it. This is my list, dammit. Make your own :(

Flash:
~ Allow for his mids to actually count as such.
~ Increase duration of trait, but also increase the scaling to better promote it as a generalized footsie/combo tool instead of simply a combo-specific trait.

Not too much, but it should probably do around 60% of what it does now? 75% maybe.
Just seems a bit extreme when you consider the advantage it gives on top of the damage is all.
I'll take it.

People want to nerf MB Staff Spin, but they want to nerf it the wrong way by not making it as + as before. Nerfing the chip a bit but keeping the advantage is fine.

I agree with the NW suggestions at least, didn't look at other characters.

Scorpion's flip kick should be at least -5 on block not -10 as it is now and maybe MB Port should be neutral or less negative on hit?

Honestly its all pretty small changes, most character who got a nerf somewhere got a small buff somewhere else barring Superman who received a few smaller changes and BA who lost the orb cancels and got a slight scaling increase off of his clouds.

It being -10 but him being airborn for a good amount of it prevents people from getting as huge of a benefit. Also to my knowledge, isn't MB post still safe on block? Right now he still has his mix-up potential and generally has his vortex, he just doesn't have the damage to make it threatening.

MB Port is -8, Hawkgirl, NW, and more can full combo punish it.

I went ahead and added in minor scorp frame changes on the flip kick and port punch then, I think -4 on MB would prevent the free punishes while not being too smothering, and -8 from -10 makes it a bit better to go against people whose most damaging options are a bit slower.

MB Teleport is punishable by some of the cast even with the push back and with flip kick at least being -5 would help with him always being unsafe after everything besides 2u3 (overhead shoulder). Fixing his Strings would be nice too.

I'm willing to concede if you are spending the meter it should at least be somewhat safe, but as far as flip kick goes, making it -5 would render it a very effective and generally unpunishable footsie tool on top of his already zone-control heavy kit. Making it -8 means if you make that good read on wake-up it'll do its job, and its a bit forgiving if you make the wrong read, but it isn't good enough to just throw out randomly to check the opponent.

Agreed with the Flash changes, but a lot of Flash players disagree and with good points to their opinions.

Zyphox More universal thread to get points across man.

Xenrail You could add some info on some off these characters if you'd like bro.

AK Harold More suggestion threads haha.
 

FOREVER BALLIN

Flash is bottom 2
I like some of the Flash suggestions but he doesn't need true mids, his B3 is fine imo, getting I think around 39% or something is good (that's a combo with B3 in it) for 1bar no trait and also his trait can already be used for more than just combos

Good point, was just thinking about it as means to make his strings safe, but they should be safe in the first place.

38% Raw B3 actually, and trait change so its used with more emphasis outside of combos but it's a very risky change, I tagged some more Flash players so they could give their 2 cents on the matter (they will find there way here tho). B3 after mb lighting kicks would be nice and broken haha.

For Superman, increase scaling off of heat zap. Scaling on super breath is fine right now, lets him get 47% midscreen. Heat zap is what makes corner damage really high. It's only used mid-combo in the corner. More recovery on zap would stop the corner damage, though. Scaling could instead be brought up on standing 3 to lower corner damage. Only a bit, though. He should be able to pull 50-60%

Yeah, I'm just thinking making the b.3 a bit faster on the pick-up would allow for more combo potential for the character himself, and would probably help with some of the drops that may occur within the tight links Flash combos are infamous for. Its more a quality of life for people not as savvy with the quick inputs (like myself) while not breaking the bank since, generally, its the same move that simply puts more control into the hands of people using it while not making it something that can be thrown out mid-combo by itself.

Trait, although I agree it ~can~ be used for footsie tools its cooldown is incredibly long and is better spent doing the damage as it is now. Increasing the duration and scaling means it can still be used for combos, but its not necessarily the end-all optimal choice that you have to neglect the neutral state for. Meanwhile, decreasing the cooldown helps offset the damage scaling by ensuring you can go into trait more often (not significantly so). But as I said, its just my opinion.

I believe Superman should also get better pressure of his other strings if they nerf F23 and normals what do you ya think?

B3 after MB LK would be godlike but as you said that would broken as a MF lol and I meant doing something like B22 MB LK D2 b3 J3 B22F3 LC is like 39%, if I was to do a MB B3, well I wouldn't I'd do Mb F3 instead.

38% after F3 as well so really just use b3 during combos, I gotta find some block strings which could use B3 before even thinking about buffing it.
