What do you mean by dedicated 50/50? Are you talking about Ice Hammer and Slide as 50/50? Enlighten me.

B2 and b33. Although you could argue that needs meter to launch with b33, he doesn't for b2.

 

[God Confirm]

Never did i imply slide was op or anything like that, but you do make a fair point about cryo. Again we'll see where this goes.

sorry man i wasnt saying u were, i was just making a joke

honestly tho i think Cryo will be a bit better than I said. Jax has no advantage or oki after Quad Grap like other grapplers and Sub is likely to have, also Sub's D4 is amazing and if hes ticking off that like it shows in the video... I still think he'll be a worse Jax but he'll have his niche

 

[Ger187]

ok now that i see that they not only changed frame data for few moves and (how it looks) really put effort in this, i really look forward and get my hopes up that more stuff is coming for MKXL

Guys I think we're missing a very important point about this update:

If they're taking this much time to rework movesets... imagine how many secret brutalities they're going to slip with the update! Some of the moves they're working with already have brutalities that could get second phases (like Cryos grab which always looked like an unfinished brutality).

Kenshi

Yay Kenshi!

 

[Bruno-NeoSpace]

KENSHI

 

[hkriderz]

Kenshi got a launching overhead. So essentially he has a 50 50 with bar now. No hitbox as well

Don't know if that's worse for the game or good for kenshi lol

 

[Doctor Stabs]

Does that buff even really help kenshi? Why would you risk burning a bar like that at full screen?

Edit: Maybe the speed is faster. Can't tell.

Probably only full screen for demonstration purposes, it will be used during combos.

I am looking forward to SubZ/Kenshi counterpicking.xD

Sub's counterpick is Kenshi.

 

[Gofer_MK]

Sub's counterpick is Kenshi.

I know... due to the hurtboxes we will see some more Subs no doubt, and subsequently, more Kenshis to counterpick him. xD

You don't play kenshi.

As a SZ main I'll have a hard time against Kenshi. I'll have to pick Kenshi as a counterpick against that Ermac, who I hate the most. xD

Maybe I played against @Immortal for his Kenshi MU, but now I'll have to redo it to get used to this new Kenshi.

 

[hkriderz]

Umm... ok...

I don't see where me playing him has any relevancy to what I said

Unbreakable is good against Kenshi (Possessed) from what I saw. Depending on the patch reveal for Unbreakable, I might switch from GM to Unbreakable.

Maybe, but Kenshi has his skydrop APs to fuck SZ around. His parry works against the grounded attacks, not the jumping and skydropping attacks.

You can slide the crap out of those ones though. Slow start up and recovery.

If Aura is on, Sub won't take as much damage as he normally would and unless Kenshi is going to rely on that gimmick, Sub will adapt.

I backdash when I can and EX ice blast with GM.

tremor getting pushbacked that far hopefully doesnt mean he still has his pushback bug :/

So my theory is that PW is now unsafe, order to make it safe you have to EX it, or just EX PW is unsafe on block.

Kinda like Shinnok, but not as good because of no pushback before the 2nd EX. So it should be punishable like -10 but not -24

Goro always had a Mburn launcher at the end of PW?
