Breakthrough - Demolition One grenade per combo?

[ILuvFightGames]

Hi, so if I'm understanding the new patch correct then they really did a number on Sonya demo. Is it true she's only gonna be able to do one grenade per combo? And her OH is reactable now correct?

Yup, bye bye Sonya and Mileena, Arise Tanya and Kitana

Only one grenade of each type, so one stun and one explosive.

Mileena's going to be fine, she just won't always have a shit tun of meter to burn in piercing.

Yo these threads are so unnecessary. Read the notes. Yes they balanced her. Yes she's still good.

 

[RevetLeafing]

This will make people actually use the explosive grenades

Hello Covert Ops.

Why can't they post stuff that's character specific? I'm guessing your character got obliterated in patch today?

It was in the notes. Why make a post asking a question about something that has already happened and nah, both of my characters are fine Alist and Commando.

I remember the last time they fixed Grenades.

And the time before that

And the time before that


It's only a matter of time before people start swagging out with electro grenades making people hover over a short pitch frag grenade just long enough to have it hit meaty and comboing for maybe 5% less in the corner. Lets be honest here, Sonya mains are crafty bastards. I doubt this will really stop them.

I was only doing one grenade combos most of the time but I guess it'll be cool to experiment with the explosive.

Yea it was more of a discussion than a question.

Came off more as a question, but I understand what this is leading to. My apologies.

Yea it was a question, well actually two questions but my aim was for your thoughts on it, I don't know if I can change the prefix but I'll try.,

Can't really speak for Demo mains, but she still seems solid. She keeps her nades on hit. You just get less damage. Something most Demo players are used to because they sacrifice damage for reloads.

She still won't be better than Tanya or Kitana

People aren't going to react to 19 frames in real matches. Grenades still trade, her 50/50s will still be ambiguous and it'll be way harder to blow them up with most armor now being splat moves, rather than full combos. Poke into grenade still exists. Etc

Demo, Mileena and Cutthroat got slaps on the wrist. Ermac got buffed practically. Alien got nerfed but he'll still be good. None of the top tiers got ruined imo.

I didn't mention Takeda because I don't have a real prediction on him yet.

 

[Tweedy]

Sonya players acting like Sonya is dead, is the equivalent of a fat guy thinking he'll die from starvation after not eating for 6 hours.

 

[Vslayer]

True, but it just means piercing is going to involved more thinking to spend meter. I'm just gonna go ahead and pick up kitana

 

[Konqrr]

The combo damage is slightly less. I haven't figured out how to use EX Grenades to extend combos yet... It's like they made Demolition more simple with the nerf but she'll be fine.

sooo she can still do 50/50's into 50/50's into 50/50's into 50/50's they just do less damage now and she still has the bomb spacing and dive kick hmmmm R.I.P

the cool thing is I use Special Forces. so untouched besides the B1 slower and bigger gap in B14. but hey i used the mids mostly anyways and frame traps with her highs and so on, that Drone lets me drop like 4-6 attacks with Oh and Delayed mid like a boss.

wait isnt the Overhea dreactible and have a huge gap in it now. like basically they said even tyler can punish it?
