MKX Patch Notes 5/14/15

[Bugman]

Shinnok is getting buff finally. In now I got three words to say: DEATH TO ALL.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

SZ clone goes away on block now? Nerfed to the ground.. and wtf if the cooldown on clone now? 2 seconds AFTER it goes away on its own?

Cry > Level up.. its the best way to win.

*looks at Kenshi*

....not really

 

[kivatt]

Can you check if the clone goes away if Sub-Zero blocks a move?

From what I see. Yes

 

[legion666]

Shinnok now has a true vortex.

If anybody now complains about this later on, don't say Mustard and I didn't tell you so.

It isn't a vortex on every character! Only on those that he can combo back into Mimicry! On others it's just a guaranteed mix up after a mimicry:/

 

[Name v.5.0]

GUYS OML KUNG JINS OVERHEAD (F2,4) AINT SAFE ANYMORE, FULL COMBO PUNISHABLE

(SORRY IF LATE)

8 frame window to punish, and there's a bit a space. Not many characters will be able to full combo punish.

 

[LaidbackOne]

Can you check if the clone goes away if Sub-Zero blocks a move?

Yep, subbys clone disappears if he blocks an attack now.
Plus Kitanas new normal

I wonder how much it will affect Sub, Kung Jin and Quan Chi.

Well still, who cares, it's no longer safe. That's all most people will care about.

Happy for Shinnok buffs. f** kenshi. remove him from the character select screen so kenshi players will move on.

 

[tjcombowins]

Tanya is looking black and hot.

 

[RWDY Nori]

Yes we do.

No, you really don't. 2 Kahns just cracked top 8 at TX Showdown, the last major.

 

[Biohazard]

they nerf sub? really? and no nerf for scorp or erron? I wonder why...

what would you want nerfed on scorpion? his ability to hit low or overhead into a vortex? or just salty over the amount he is newb spammed online...

 

[Ugodimak]

What's with Tanya's derp face at the select screen?

You weren't complaining on twitter to Boon. It's how things get done.
But your time will come. And people will know

Tanya is looking black and hot.

I'm loving it.

 

[Reptile_Style]

HELLLLLS YEAH!!!!! Liking the

 

[TheGabStandard]

13-14 frame start up is what is needed here.

Hmmm...I'm not sure if I agree with that

 

[LEGI0N47]

This is going to be an excellent read in the morning. What has life come to in order to be excited to laugh over the moaning from game changes and the downplaying to follow in short order after that.

I dont understand how this is a big nerf. If the clone is between sub and his opponent, blocking an attack wont matter because they'll just shatter the clone first. Not like you can shoot a projectile through it. Block doesnt matter there either.

Where does this really apply??? How is this an earth shattering nerf? Even a blocked teleport punch attack isnt a big deal. Sub gets full combo punish if he blocks.

 

[MK_GDROM]

For those who want to know the PS4 patch is already out in Eastern Time zone. Sub-Zero's clone is now -118 for recovery.

 

[TopTierHarley]

No, you really don't. 2 Kahns just cracked top 8 at TX Showdown, the last major.

What does that have to do with anything? Harley had Top 8s in majors, doesn't mean she was good.

 

[Eric The Scruffy]

As a Kung Jin main I'm actually kind of glad ATM Bojitsu is getting the nerf stick. Not saying he was OP or too good (who knows right now), but fair or unfair that variation was honestly pretty damn boring to play or watch, especially considering how good it was.

I've been wanting to main Kung Jin since day 1 and now that the PC version is starting to be playable I can finally start grinding it out...but I was starting to think he might just not be for me when ancestral Kung Jin is so heavily outgunned by bojitsu. Maybe now we'll start seeing more variation from the character outside of ChrisG.

 

[-narshkajke-]

I hear ya. My brother mains Sub and I didn't think he needed the nerf. Waiting to get off from work to hit the lab and help him see what adjustments grandmaster sub players will need to make.

it really sucks to see sub get nerf, and it even sucks that I play on PC really want to hit the lab soon

 

[Ra Helios]

I don't understand cassie nerf please help me understand?

 

[STRYKIE]

Rather have the human version personally. :/

Maybe the alt color gives him human skin? Bit of a pipe dream but nobody knows yet I guess...
