Discussion Ed Boon is Asking Which Fighters Need "BUFFS" in MKXL Using Twitter Polls

[21122]

Why is Tremor one of the choices??? I thought Tremor was still solid, no pun intended.

Crystalline yea but not the other two.

 

[Tweedy]

Sub Zero > Kenshi?

Tremor > BRC?

Popularity contest city. Jason even being in it is a joke.

 

[gam224]

Kitana does need it. Come on Kitana boyzzz

I hope jason gets insane buffs and becomes new S+++ tier character. All the salty fanboys will gouge out their eyes and smash their controllers.

 

[Eldriken]

Kung Lao is beating Kenshi? What the FUCK?

 

[Invincible Salads]

I hope jason gets insane buffs and becomes new S+++ tier character. All the salty fanboys will gouge out their eyes and smash their controllers.

only buff jason should get is having all his grapples able to choose which side you want, kinda makes taking people to the corner moot when the majority of your offense tosses them OUT of the corner -_-. oh, and make his b1 a true mid, as in it can't be low profiled by d4's.

This list does not have Tanya on it, so it is invalid.

 

[NSR]

DLC Poll is pretty much near identical as before, Tremor is still at 31%, while Bo and Jason are both at 25%. (Goro is last, at 19%)
As for original cast poll, Sub-Zero is dominating the poll, at 35%, while Kenshi, 2nd highest, is only at 26% now. (Kitana is third, at 22%, while Kung Lao is dead last, at 17%)

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Bo rai cho should be F tier, worse than unbreakable subzero. No one asked for him.

 

[Grr]

Leatherface needs buffs

 

[SaltShaker]

Since CSZ has actually been removed from the game, if Balanced Kenshi became a competitive variation I would pick up MKX again.

But in reality, any buffs would go to the other two variations while Balanced would get a useless 1frame adjustment on Telefurry.

Hey I wonder if Ed Boon is a troll known for building up hype for things that sometimes don't happen? Huh... But the design team at NRS take suggestions from Twitter right? Like nerfing Full Au....oh wait a minute.

Kung Lao is beating Kenshi? What the FUCK?

You're assuming Tempest, remember Buzz Saw and Hat Trick are still variations and Hat Trick is TERRIBLE

 

[Darth-Nero]

Yeah those polls are obviously a joke, inb4 yet another buff'em-all patch. Yet Raiden somehow gets overlooked cuz hes not popular or mainstream.

 

[Skylight1]

Makes a twitter pool, without using variations to ask which needs buffs? That's an automatic bad sign... Let's hypothetically say this pool isn't troll-worthy, what would make Sub-Zero better at this point? Why not just focus on the lower majority of the cast that lacks a lot of good stuff and perhaps give them something that everyone and their mother's could easily do, for Pete's sakes?

And honestly, why no mention of Necromancer? I'd take Unbreakable, Hat Trick, High Tech, Mournful, Balanced over Necromancer ANYDAY. The only thing that's not as good as Necromancer (surprisingly,) is Master of Storms.

 

[Skylight1]

@Pig Of The Hut I feel the Balanced buffs coming

Not even Obama can troll us as good as Ed can. So with that in mind, I HIGHLY doubt it.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

If they don't nerf the top tier, then buff everyone mid and below, if they do nerf the top tier, then only buff low tiers.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Which Alien? I would love it, if they had buffed Tarkatan. The other variations are already strong.

Dude, Tarkatan is retarded.

 

[myri]

You're assuming Tempest, remember Buzz Saw and Hat Trick are still variations and Hat Trick is TERRIBLE

That said I'd still like my plus frames on block from ex hat spin to go back up a bit.

 

[Amplified$hotz]

Fisticuffs Cage says hi! xD He asks for an Exfistbump

How do you think giving it less recovery or making it cancellable like flame fist would affect it?

 

[honeybooboo]

Well following boons poll trend, i think hes hinting on these characters getting buffs

 

[KHAOTIC_UNCLE-_-CREEPY]

Make Raiden great again. Buff Raiden...and.....Fujin and Rain.

 

[Vinnysouls]

what the fuck, jason needs no buffs!! hes a cheap ass character

 

[FGF111]

I think only Cryo, Unbreakable for Sub and Hat Trick for Kung Lao needs buffs.
For Unbreakable, i wonder if making normal parry 1 frame would be too much, he would basically be able to punish all gaps for free though.

For Kenshi and Kitana, all variations need some buffs. Maybe reduce some recovery time from Kenshi's strings and Make F22 for Kitana an OH string.

I don't know anything about Goro so i can't say anything. However, Jason doesn't needs any buffs whatsoever. Aftershock or Metallic for Tremor could use buffs (or maybe they could just revert some nerfs from the previous patches) and Bo could use all round buffs as well.

I also think Tanya desperately needs some buffs, oh and obviously Alien too.

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

For Unbreakable, i wonder if making normal parry 1 frame would be too much, he would basically be able to punish all gaps for free though.

Nope. His parry has 1 year of recovery when it whiffs. And he doesn't do much damage with that. Everyone can guess and stop before the gap to bait.
Like Pig said, give everyone bullshits to balance or normalize everything. Even with that 1f parry I still think he's weak

 

[NSR]

Sub-Zero's at 34%, Kenshi's now at 29%.
Tremor is still at 31%, Bo is now at 24%. Jason is still at 25%.
Gotta say, I feel bad for Kenshi and Bo players, but oh well. It is what it is.
