every patch i go check dvorah/kang/alist jails...every patch disappointment

 

[I GOT HANDS]

Yeah, I edited the post. My bad. I'll hold that.

Still, Tarkatan isn't wrecked by any means.

i agree, just clearing up the misinformation that EVERYONE not just you seems to believe about Tarkatan

 

[Alright RyRy]

@EVB Alright RyRy I'm thinking enough characters got nerfed to the point Imposter might be a definite for top 5. I still think you're a @zoofs certified maniac for thinking Reptile and Goro deserve anything though

Reptile could use a few very minor things, nothing crazy.

Goro could of gotten is F2 shaved down on the startup by maybe 8 frames or so. None of these would make a real difference. Goro can't get F2 off a JIP because its so slow.

Nothing crazy or character breaking.

Please never put Zoofs and myself in the same sentence.

I already said this in another thread but Sektor's B1,2+4 (EX) had its hit advantage toned way down so...no more armor breaking for a bar

That's why I don't train seriously with dlc characters. Half of the stuff you learn is a waste of time.

 

[smellyloser]

Okay bruh, you need to chill just a little bit. All the characters listed above did need some toning down (yes, even Bo Rai Cho. He was terrible before but his damage was clearly not scaling correctly. However the nerf to fart cloud has me a lot sad).

Also, nerfs to the top tiers are buffs for the low tiers. IMO, it's better to bring the top tiers down a notch rather than risk over buffing the low tiers. The last thing this game needs is more Takeda's.

his damage was nothing compared to what other characters like F/T and Kotal can do, scaling on ground fire and drinking means you get punished for playing the character correctly, this didn't fix his damage it just encourages bad play since now he has little reward for doing things right like drinking mid-combo and trapping the opponent in the corner.

and nerfing top tier doesn't make bottom tier better, Raiden getting murdered didn't make Jacqui's neutral game any better it just meant you now have two worthless roster slots instead of one

Are you sure you play any of those characters/variations?

Nope, mainly because I have no reason to do so. I tried learning Ermac and Goro then realized I was working twice as hard for half the result. Give me one thing any of those characters/variations can do that someone else in the cast can't do better.

You forgot Necromancer in the rant about how characters are shitty now.

I agree with EVERYTHING here except the fact Johnny Cage and Jason are broken. Unstoppable/Slasher Jason is hardly broken and in fact, got nerfed due to the Universal stuff added.

I honestly forgot that Necromancer even got nerfed since nobody plays it. I had to check the patch notes. You're absolutely right, add that to the list of completely backwards nerfs that nobody asked for. Holy shit that's terrible.

Johnny and Jason are broken as in they're terrible and don't work. Fisticuffs is a completely useless variation that NOBODY plays. Jason is just garbage all around.

 

[M2Dave]

Can someone elaborate on the tremor nerf? Did they just nerf regular up rock again? Also how bad does it hurt him?

I tried to hide the good shit, but the pre-hotfix up rock was almost as advantageous as old up rockets. LOL. The hit advantage has been reduced by half and is similar to the current version of up rockets.

The EX up rock has five more recovery frames, which means that the hard-to-blockable set ups have been removed.

The delayed OTG glitch doing 13% of damage has also been removed. The scaling is always consistent now.

 

[DownfouralitY]

lol I just literally cannot believe that they nerfed Bo' Rai Cho. Literally the only good fucking thing that he had was his damage.

 

[leoj89]

XD I ain't gonna clown though cause I don't think the clone army is safe just yet.

Mornful players is this patch a good or bad thing for kitana players ?

 

[The PantyChrist]

Hat trick still shit

 

[pretty flocko]

I'm so confused by the Boraicho nerfs why did they nerf such a horrible character

 

[navaroNe]

maybe this is just some cruel and early april fools day joke...pls

 

[Bugman]

I'm so happy for NRS nerf Triborg to the ground. Thank you in made the elder gods watch over you.

 

[Phosferrax]

every patch i go check dvorah/kang/alist jails...every patch disappointment

Did the same with Milenna

 

[Hellbringer]

Congratulations nrs, for winning the award of releasing the most retarded patch in history.

Rip cyrax-march 2016

 

[kantboy-2]

Fuck minus, not safe rekkas.

Happy?

 

[themanDan]

So they made drunken master even worse than he was before but kept mileena the same? lol, if this is the last patch, this game will be dead in a couple months.

 

[bumpyface]

I'm kinda glad they nerfed Acidic. Now I can use her with a clear ConScience lol.

 

[WATCHD0G]

honestly i don't know who the fuck to main anymore

 

[Kamikaze_Highlander]

Maybe they finally came to their senses and made Lackey's D1 plus 2 on block again

Yea Lackey went down to crap tier when he lost his 6f + on block normal

 

[Jigga jinx]

yep, Cyrax ruined i switched characters. and dropped acidic.


No net after bomb equals noone playing cyrax, unless they are out of thier mind.


i can think of several ways they could have removed Resets and HTB's without ruining his entire midscreen.

just like NRS. nerf a character that has cancel pressure(raiden) and let it ride with several others D'vorah, Liu, Johnny, Jax, Erron, Scorpion.

fastforward to now.

remove
HTB from cyrax,

and then Give Tremor an htb, leave CSZ, tekada, Cassie, Quan, Predator htbs.


it doesn't seem logical or thought out at all.

if they are gonna take away Vortex's then take all of them away.

if your gonna take HTB's out then do it to all the characters.

They act like politicians. Sonic Fox can use any character and dominate. Ppl are trash at the game an think that they lose b/c sub has overhead dive kick. They lose b/c smoke can..could use 3 moves in combo. And then they cry. Sub offense is broke now.Like worse in the game .In game u really not going over 34 against real competition . Now we @ 31 max no meter.

 

[The chosen puddle]

honestly i don't know who the fuck to main anymore

A character you like and find fun. Ill never drop tremor no matter what NRS do at this point its play what you like.

 

[1man3letters]

Did the same with Milenna

haha i wonder whos been having a worse time?
seeing bullshit chars staying bullshit or patch after patch seeing a char get buffed from shitter to stier?

 

[TakeAChance]

I concede, with the dlc nerfed Mileena is no question top 5.

 

[Kamikaze_Highlander]

Wow, they seriously nerfed BRC?
NRS.Has.No.Brain.

I think hit stun on fart was stupid too long. Fart, jump back, swig, swig, jump in was ridonkadonk.

 

[Kamikaze_Highlander]

MRW Pretty much everyone got gutted and we got 1 buff(normalization really)
