Hope to see them soon. The game is making me impatient for the moment I get an Xbox One.

 

[SAREDODEVIL]

ranking system? YES!!!!

 

[DJ L Toro]

Take a note NRS, there's no mention of "rebalancing." patches should be used to fix bugs and make the game better. I cant wait for this.

Take a note DJ, this isn't twitter, we don't like bullshit and slander here.

Maybe in this game you won't be free.

STOP...

RIGHT...

THERE...

the game was patched 2 days after release to remove universal unbreakables w/use of instinct cancel. This patch removes more unbreakables and the unblockable crouching LK after an overhead into instinct cancel is blocked.

Those are 3 MAJOR changes that had/have a drastic effect on character balance. Example: Sabrewulf vs Glacius was not a bad mu in the day 1 version, but became one after Sabrewulf lost his big damage instinct cancel unbreakable.

This shows that even when a dev says "we wont patch early like other *cough* companies do, we will let things develop first", they will patch and patch the game at the first sign of something they don't like.

NRS did a good job with IGAU.

I wonder will winning a match be equal to losing a match. Currently it's easier to lose rank than to gain it. You lose more in your ranking bar from losing than you gain from winning a match.

Don't lose then

This was how it is in SF..based on your bp or pp or whatever the hell it was. All I know is I sat pretty around 2k points because even beating someone who was "better" than me got me less points than what I'd lose from losing to equal or lower skill rank people.

Tom Brady we know you love nrs and you will say inj is the best fighting game in the word... But its not.

DH romoved unblockables for the better, I know as a tymer you always wanna have the advanced by abusing brainless shit but this game is mind games and footsies.

SW vs Glacius is a bad MU? Welcome to the world of fighting games buddie.

 

[trustinme]

Is there any chance they can patch the dpad at the same time?so I can actually get the character I'm controlling to do what I want? Microsoft,go fuck yourself.

 

[PND_Ketchup]

Hopefully they fix the ranked matches so people get punished for quitting out.

I also hope to see Sabrewulfs corner bug removed, getting sick of using my setups in the corner and being sent fullscreen for my trouble.

 

[SAREDODEVIL]

The game is pretty balanced right now, only bugs and glitchez. Waiting for the classic costumes and spinal.

 

[Linkuei82]

Toro on blast.

 

[Riyo]

But Sabrewulf bodies Glacius doe.

 

[Konqrr]

Ranking system... oh boy. Here come the MK style rage quitters.

And NRS games have no mind games right?

You completely missed my point. The point was that even when a dev says "no early patches, we are using a wait and see approach", they will still patch as early as day 1 or 2. Yet people like you seem to support it when any company other than NRS does it, and blast NRS for doing it for.. as you said "the better". My point had nothing to do with wanting to abuse anything..

and never come to this site and blast "tymers" as ppl who want braindead shit. This coming from someone who cant win when they cant escape a combo anytime they want after they get hit... See how dumb that statement was? About as dumb as yours..

Maybe I came off a little defensive and while I do agree with most things you said I still dont see how you can compare removing an unbreakable combo to mk9 dash nerf, kanos nerfs, subs nerfs, universal armor, player 1 advanced, random frame advance, inj scorpions nerfs etc.

I love mk but nrs makes their games feel stiffed and weird ass hell, the only reason most of us played mk9 is bc we love the franchise and why most dont play inj is bc we dont love it and the game feels horrible not to mention weekly changes which dont happen with DH on KI3.

DH only patches broken stuff, they dont nerf or buff chars a few weeks after release just bc scrubby tymers dont know how to deal with it.

 

[brizzle]

But Sabrewulf bodies Glacius doe.

And cage bodies kenshi

 

[Sami]

Them weekly Injustice changes. Seriously, I can't keep up with all the patches over the past 2 and a half months.


edit: in addition, DH has the luxury of having a tiny roster of characters to balance (even then there are still bad MUs present). Lets see how well they cope if/when the roster gets to traditional fighting game levels.

I am not comparing anything to MK9, only to IGAU where they only patched for the better of the game. They did a pretty good job w/IGAU is all i was saying.

I have no issue w/DH patching multiple times this early, I was telling that guy that all dev's patch early and often if the game NEEDS it. Sometimes these patches effect balance but for the better of the game.

Bad MUs are part of the game, why is it the AE players grind out bad mus and most of us just cry at the first sign of a possible 6-4?

Bad mus are part of fighting games, if you love your main grind it out if not just counter pick.

In KI3 the 6 chars seem tournament viable and im sure when spinal ans fulgore comes out they will be too.
DH has been working on the game for about a year and the game feels fluid, depth and fun to play. Now look at mk9 with 32 chars? And only 6 tournament viable chars, if u were serious about winning a mk9 major you had to use Cyrax, kabal, kenshi, sonnya or kung lao....

I dont want to keep bringing out the past but just check this out and see for yourself all things that were wrong with mk9.

Sure we can lol about it now but this things hurt the game so much!

 

[Tom Brady]

So.. the fact that IGAU was done pretty well means lets keep bringing up MK9...

Also, IGAU was patched several times, with a big roster. KI will now be patched 2 times in the first month. Thats fine, they are needed patches. My question is: Why is it ok for any other dev to patch their fighter multiple times but people bash NRS for it? Especially when the patches to IGAU were for the better of the game...

I got you, maybe Inj is a good game and I just don't like it.
For some reason it seems to me that you always try to talk down on DH/KI to kinda defend Nrs/Inj tho.

I would really like for you to name a few things u don't like about KI3 or why do you prefer Inj over it? Like what makes you said inj is your favorite fighter when you have KI?

I have never said anything negative about KI3, there is nothing I don't like about it. I defended NRS when someone said "Take Notes NRS!"

NRS patched IGAU for the better, DH is doing the same with KI.
