ive been at a complete stand still when it comes to picking a second character to learn. I've mained Jin since release and no one really feels as solid or as good.
With all the bitching I encounter, I fear NRS is going to nerf kill him, so who should I pick up on the side?
I literally have no idea...
Raiden, Ermac, Liu Kang, D'vorah, Quan Chi, Erron Black, Kenshi, someone else?
Who do you think will feel good after playing with Jin for awhile?
The Fighter has an answer for almost everything and normals that are around 2x as long that lead into greater damage than almost every other fighter. It's too early to say whether or not any fighter needs nerfed yet, but if they do nerf KJ, they would have to destroy him to make him unviable, he's looking super solid right now and he could take a nerf to his damage and still shit on people.
And maybe this is just me, but his Dive Kick is really fucking hard to punish on block sometimes for some reason. I know it's like -30 something, but I'm stuck for a good 15 frames or so after I block it and nothing will come out. I don't know if the frame data is inaccurate on his dive kick or something, but I'd like to not be frozen in place almost as long as he is after blocking it.
And Brady has already proven that there's a lot that we don't know is punishable yet, and I haven't tested strings with KJ to see what's punishable, but at my current level of understanding he seems pretty fucking safe. I don't want to see anyone nerfed yet, but KJ is among the most likely candidates right now. If it comes to it I'd like him to be a little less safe and maybe not take off half my health when I get opened up by that ridiculous range. As for the range itself we the players need to train ourselves to deal with it. If they were to nerf KJ in the areas I just mentioned I think he would still be very viable and honestly still be the fighter that always shits on me.
But like I said, at the end of the day it's too early to be nerfing shit. Give them game
at least a month and some change before any changes like that are made.
