Soooooooo Kano, one thing that I don't like is the loss of armor on PowerBuff. This is a useles move right now. And the regular buff is grabage. But overall I am happy with the changes.

For whatever reason, NRS has this maddening tendency to randomly nerf at least one fairly well-balanced character, in each patch, unnecessarily. I think Kotal is that character, this time around.

I mean, of all the variations in this game, why in the holy fuck would you nerf Blood God?

Honestly it is hard not to be bias since
War God is the only character I spent a lot of time on

I also felt that Kotal was well balanced considering what the meta was prior to this Oct patch.

Time will tell to what extent he will be affected by all the changes

It probably won't go live until some time tomorrow afternoon/early evening.

I predict no earlier than 3pm EST.

Why is no one mentioning Eye Burst being +4 on block? Now he doesn't have to hit confirm; he can just do B1 afterwards.

Please say this is a typo and is meant to be -4

It's not even that good a change to be honest, ex knives are +5 and hit mid whereas Eye Burst hits high and is +4. You still have to hit confirm, why waste meter like that?

At first glance it seems high tech got a nerf, when in actuality it's pressure was changed. Quick burst now has a strong mixup to it. The longer you hold it or the higher the level of the QB the more advantageous it is, or you can quick burst instantly then charge QB to put them back in pressure and to you being advantageous. I am a High tech Jaqui Sonya Briggs main and I approve of these changes

No, this is 100% a nerf.

She already had the mixup prepatch, but now it's less effective since she can be poked out of it. QB being -1 is a massive nerf as is 1 cancel on block and the stamina changes meaning she won't be able to get in (and when she does she won't be able to pressure yay). Changes to cancel advantage of qb also mean that 114, 121, b3 (and potentially b2?) no longer jail into anything. I think the b14 will still retain is jail although it'll be much tighter.

Ahh well. It is what it is. Even though they've completely destroyed my character I'm excited for the entirely fresh meta! Who knows, there's every chance I'm reading this wrong and high tech will still be a great character. Either way I'm excited to see how everything plays out :).


Funniest (as in most humorous) change has got to be the nerf to brood mother's damage though. That's just friggen hilarious.

This is stupid. Swarm Queen had a good overhead but a bad low to run cancel from. Now her only overhead is the kick, which is not as good. This is also a nerf to Venomous, who now lost her d+4+_f+2 poison mixup.

I really hope this new move in venomous is worth something, or else they just nerfed a low tier character.



I get the hate demolition gets. I really do. But nerfing her b+1 did nothing for special forces. The b+1 move wasn't even the problem with demolition. It's launch punishable and you can armor anything that comes after it, on block.

Special Forces didn't even get a variation specific buff. She goes from low tier to absolute trash tier. This is unprofessional.

Special forces is far from low tier. Given all the changes to other characters she's sitting in A/A+/S right now.

I'm surprised they didn't nerf her harder tbh. Just wait till you see Scar pull her out now that it's the best Sonya variation in basically every single way.

So, Unstoppable was untouched...or was he? Now with all of these multi-armored moves, is his Green Buff better than ever? Think about it...

I dont get Kotal changes at all lol.

Jax got nerfed hardddd. The changes to the game is gonna fuck him because one of his major threats is being able to reliably armor break which is now gone since everyone has 2 or 3 hits of armor

I was looking for a reason to start using Kitana.....guess i got it lol. Tomorrow is day 1 kitana labbing and learning
