Nobody thinks the clip is just in slow motion to show off whatever they're trying to show off? Sonya's b1 is just automatically 51 frames?

That's exactly what I thought... it was just a slow mo clip. lol

NOPE 51 FRAMES GUYS!!!

 

[Wetdoba]

Keep crying, now Quan will zone and play footsies with his no hurtbox sword. Looks like its time to learn to play fighting games everyone

This is the biggest blessing ever, no more mashing armor into full combo or doing braindead mix ups for ANYONE. NO MORE SCRUBS ALLOWED

Now I have a reason to play again, Paulo finally got lasik, his vision is clear

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

What's happening to MKX you may ask? IT'S GETTING RID OF THE COINFLIP MECHANIC YOU SLUTS.

You're my new favorite.

I'm guessing overheads are being removed or possibly becoming very unsafe now? First Sonya now Quan? Wonder what else is next

what happened to sonya?

 

[Wetdoba]

what happened to sonya?

Overhead looks reactable now

 

[trufenix]

I'm shocked. I was expected just a nudge here or there, but they heard y'all loud and clear. No mix ups, no advantage, no armor. We gonna be playing virtua fighter with teleports come wednesday.

She got nerfed hard, and now she's so slow.

 

[Belial]

But Quan seems to be the same. I'm guessing anyone with overheads has been hit hard, and anyone with jailing pressure of the likes is gonna have a complete overhaul

That means you can block low and react to overhead?

We don't know man. There is no frame data, we don't even know if these gifs are running at 60fps.
Anybody who says "x character is fucked or x character is new top tier" based on what we have is just shooting from the hip.

They run in 60fps. It's, I think, the practice session with anything disable for showing purposes. I felt them as slow.

I know nothing is concrete 100% but everything is interesting so far. Id very much welcome a game where it's not based on guessing right and having to hold +30 on block strings that jail all day. I like what I'm seeing.

 

[Darth-Nero]

no more overhead b2 for quan....

What the absolute fuck, NRS?!?!?!

Fucking RIP Quan.

 

[Slymind]

I feel that NRS's heart is in the right place, and this is good, unfortunately given some answers over this forum since the gifs started to drop, it shows that some people don't care about actual balance, they just want their characters to be above everyone else.

 

[ILuvFightGames]

What the absolute fuck, NRS?!?!?!

Fucking RIP Quan.

Would that mean that all you have to do is block low against quan?

 

[hkriderz]

The Quan nerf is one of those where we need more context. I have a feeling it's a universal change to 50 50s so let's just wait and see.

It would be very odd if they specifically targeted Quans overhead only because that would be a very unnecessary nerf

 

[Darth-Nero]

It looks like it i mean, am all for getting red of 50/50s but what does summoner have now to open ppl up? God i can't wait for tuesday, this is officially a new game now.

 

[JDM]

"What the fuck How am I ever supposed to get a hit now? People can just block all day and I can't do anything.


NRS YOU'RE SO STUPID"


:3


I love NRS player's reactions to changes

Clearly they didn't play MK9

 

[Belial]

That's a great way to put it: new game. Especially so if new defencive mechanic comes along (kounter)

 

[Blewdew]

I really like where this is going
