General/Other - Liu Kang [EO BETA] Liu Kang DF has no changes? Idk about that

[buyacushun]

I wonder if they only figured out what to do to fbrc block strings. Or if this a theme for all long blockstrings.

Good find @Pig Of The Hut

 

[omooba]

This is a super smart change

you agree with this? like he builds no meter at all after a fire ball cancel?

 

[PapaRegadetho]

I think Hellfire should be left as his is not guaranteed IMO

Maybe so, but isn't 21fbrc21fbrc21 guaranteed? And with the flame aura activated, thats prety good chip damage.

 

[Derptile]

So how does this work exactly, if LK doesn't have full stamina then he doesn't build meter, or is it only if you loop FBRC over and over?

Either it's a pretty rough change, since his guaranteed meter is what made him so broke lmao.

 

[IrishMantis]

Obviously some people will still cry because TYM but I think this change is a perfect halfway mark where majority of both sides can come to agree with.

Same with Alist, or even Stunt Double in that case it wouldn't bother me

I think the Cancel players just find it very satisfying doing blockstrings rather than meter building

 

[omooba]

I think Hellfire should be left as his is not guaranteed IMO

I know the same argument can made about Kobu but she's a different issue altogether

yes he is and the new patch is giving him more run cancel
nah nerf him too nerf his ass

 

[DarksydeDash]

Wait whats the nerf?

 

[SylverRye]

I like this tbh. Now that meterburn fly kick is +1, f213 cancel advantage is reduced and the cancel meterburn has been altered, the multitude of people bitching about him will calm down. Or people will still lose to him and complain, either or lol. Good find pig.

 

[SaSSolino]

wasn't there a hole in the f213 string?

 

[Ares_Supreme]

Liu Kang main here. This change is 100% okay with me. Very smart indeed.

 

[IrishMantis]

Nope

Is it confirmed the timing is changed?

 

[Lokheit]

Is this something only happening with Liu or did everyone with long jails get the same treatment? It might be a new universal property but I can't test by myself (PC).

 

[Bruno-NeoSpace]

I approve.

 

[SaSSolino]

Nope



Is it confirmed the timing is changed?

he still jails and there's no hole in the f213 string, so what exactly is the nerf now? the meter building?

 

[Ares_Supreme]

My question: In the last LK patch, the timing on fbc was pretty strict, so, I am finding it hard to wrap my head around it being more strict

 

[omooba]

he still jails and there's no hole in the f213 string, so what exactly is the nerf now? the meter building?

they took out the 'infinite' and meter building what else do you want

 

[RM_Gamer]

I agree with this change but what about his other variations :\

 

[IrishMantis]

he still jails and there's no hole in the f213 string, so what exactly is the nerf now? the meter building?

Yes I haven't checked

It's either he builds less meter, stops building meter or Scales meter building for each rep in check today

 

[GreatKungLao]

f213 cancel advantage is reduced.

That is a mistake though. LEAVE OTHER VARIATIONS ALONE!!!

 

[SaSSolino]

they took out the 'infinite' and meter building what else do you want

maybe I misunderstood, but if f213xxFBRC still jails into itself, the infinite is still there.

 

[the.hamburglar]

Thanks Tom Brady
sarcasm

 

[SylverRye]

Ok so he still builds meter on block with his cancels. I just watched a match between me and a kenjutsu player from beta last night. Its reduced though but it builds. There is no hole in f213,the Cancel advantage was just reduced but i can still get it to jail if im perfect, im im slightly off u can armor or backdash after f213, meterburn fly kick is +1 now. Liua biggest problem was the looping and that's been dealt with. If those arent enough nerfs than i dunno what to tell yall lol. The witch hunt is gonna be on alist now lol

 

[GreatKungLao]

maybe I misunderstood, but if f213xxFBRC still jails into itself, the infinite is still there.

How the hell FBRC true block string is an infinite if you can do FBRC only twice with F213 and MB FK is +1 and I might not have a meter to do it now.

Why people call Liu Kang's pressure an infinite even after this nerf info is beyond me.

because everytime liu kang catches me I still have to respect f213xxFBRC twice and the liu kang player can just use that to do whatever he wants, so it doesn't that seem much of a nerf, that's all. chill out.

 

[SylverRye]

The "infinite"was on kenshi erron takeda and i think jason. Nobody else, liu is a cancel character, he will jail just like dvorah and a list. With mb fk being reduced and a few characters getting better pokes, the fly kick doesnt guarantee free pressure like before. Stop calling a jailing string an infinite please lol. Lius easy loops from f213 is what caused the uproar and nrs knows it and is correcting it. Chill lol
