Augmented slots aren't going to be in competitive mode.
That's silly. Any OP combo relies on a particular move to make it so. Nerf the move and voila, balance. Unless you have some bizarre definition of balance like "the character must be competitively viable no matter what combination of abilities a player picks."
"Nerf the move and voila, balance". Maybe nrs should have taken that into account in mkx, if balancing a game is such an easy task. There are many factors in balace, and one has to take into account the way everything interacts with everything.
they have, repeatedly. Set variations for competition. They have not figured out how many per character or whats on each yet.
It has to be accounted for that they're taking competitive scene more seriously and making explicit game changes and mechanics changes to support this. How much of a difference that'll make for balance, I have no idea, but you don't either.
There's the money shot.
Custom variations for some, fixed tournament variations for others.
That's what I thought, but new information seems to contradict that, and I can't find any actual records of TYM hard confirming one way or the other. Any links?
Nerfing a move because of one of many potential moveset variations will make all the other balanaced set ups using that move trash. These moves don’t exist in a vacuum and often in these types of customizable moveset situations the imbalance comes from abusing combinations of moves and not singular moves themselves. Or the more likely case, instead of nerfing it they try to remake it to function different without making it worse. Which ends up making that original set up balanced, but making others too strong due to the new changes.
No. Not at all. Augments are purely for single-player.
