I still want our Sonya Mirror but now i also want My Liu vs your sonya too!Dear Hacker,
We still have your kitten, however, the most recent revision has us very pleased. The removal of Glitch Jabs will immediately improve the quality of the game. Due to this, we have chosen to spare the life of your kitten.
We have decided that Liu Kang may remain in the game and selectable, as beating on him is still fun.
We have placed the kitten in a jar with his release pending the release of an additional, N64 MKT based UMK3 hack.
Liu deserves to live Phil!!! Stop the hate heh
There was no one there to test, only a couple people with a passing interest so it would have been me vs the CPU but we also streamed MK9 and Injustice over 7 hours, then over 3 hours of WWE 2K14 which ended up closing out the night. This left me having to pack up the next day as soon as I got to the ball room because I had to be at a wedding reception that night and it was a 4 hour drive. S0....TFC will be the next time there's a mass testing of the game. I might run some nights of me vs an online opponent from my house if possible this weekend since I have some bandwidth to spare on my 4G card which I'll use for the stream and play off the hardline. No promises.
you can no longer win with lao
Personally, I'm not a Kung player, but I was curious as to what other disadvantages he has?you can no longer win with lao
i do realise double jabs are history, i wrote it few times already, nobody seems to see the actual point..
lao has disadvantages in original, not only accident hat throw, but a few more, any comments on those would be nice
Elbow hitbox has already been fixed.
I'm anxiously awaiting/dreading the human smoke and ermac nerfsElbow hitbox has already been fixed.
Uppercut isn't much different than others, it just doesn't extend forward as far as some (here is a pic sent to me from the hacker):
Notice how for the ninjas, their sprite goes above the hitbox? This means that any attack that extends lower than their own sprite can hit them out of their uppercut. Besides, Kung Lao doesn't need uppercut when he has spin really... who jumps at Kung Lao? Only someone who wants to lose.
As for the Dive Kick limitation... he gets 60% on a punisher and still gets good corner carry. The hacker told me that if he figures out how to add Damage Protection to reduce the overall damage of whiffed Dive Kick combos, he will remove the hit limit... but if it can't be figured out then the hit limit will stay.
You guys saying that Kung Lao is bad now... lol... with the removal of GJs, he is more of a threat than ever. Just because his ability to kill you if you made one mistake is gone doesn't mean he is shit now. Your opponent has to make two mistakes to lose this time.
I like how nobody is complaining about Kabal as he is the absolute most nerfed character... but he still has great tools to win and it takes 3-4 opportunities now instead of 2-3.

@MKK hanzo is not the hacker.
The only nerfs they really need are damage nerfs, imo.
Ermac still has one or two 100% corner combos but they are VERY difficult to set up. He does get in the 70% range now though and the TKS now counts as a hit in combos.I'm anxiously awaiting/dreading the human smoke and ermac nerfs
Just don't kill off all the ermac 100^ corner variations. He NEEDS it!

If it was ded, he definitely would've fixed up UMK3 long before MK2. Either way, maybe he (the hacker) will be nice enough to drop us a status quo once he feels his work is all done.
Could I possibly ask the reasoning behind this change?
COMBO CHANGES:
- Knee,LK,B+HK has been removed
Its not like every single KL player is bitching about it except one?
mb because theres no KL players in USA?Its not like every single KL player is bitching about it except one?
what about the others KL players around the world?
do u have any1 in mind? why don't they suggest something?
very good point. Also less recovery on blocked dive kick would be nice. Faster moves and mobility in exchange for damage nerf is totally ok imo
Exactly, you just can't jab,hold block and jab to preemptively block. You have to do this same tactic manually now.
Kung Lao, inarguably top 5, now has dramatically nerfed Kabal, semi nerfed Smoke coming, somewhat nerfed Nightwolf, severely nerfed Ermac. It's really about how players have long played Kung Lao being affected but the spin's infinite properties are simply unreasonable. He has the most practical and easy infinite pound for pound, in terms of application and set up. A spin generally = game over. With that, the dive kick still leaves open the realm of cross screen infinite. A numeric limit to it's usage is logical at this point, but maybe not as early as it is right now. It'll definitely be told when players get to test if Kung is nerfed too hard, but he has so much other stuff, rather than hunting for infinites. Kung is also going to get other buffs likely.
