Yes I know that people just want to do 2 bar combos without having to think about breakaways but Noob needs some sort of alternate speed projectile to compliment the klones. If he already has air teleport in that variation he doesnt need dive kick klone to change his jump arc and grounded klones will occupy the space infront of him plenty. Hopefully this variation gets whatever spirit ball is to compliment the grounded klone specials
Someone said ghost ball is a slow mid unblockable projectile while spirit ball was a fast high blockable projectile. Both moves take away 1 offensive and 1 defensive meter. Ghost ball probably better for set ups and resets while spirit ball will be better in neutral and easier to combo into for more meter drain more often
Thanks!! Im so torn between which variation to start with. Both looks so interesting.
Yes I am really glad they ended up making a full MK9 Noob variation and then replacing sickle snag with sickle teleport in the other. Sickle snag was extremely boring to me. Sickle teleport will be fun for doing teleport set ups to appear behind people when they try to wake up
100% Agree with this. I think universally sickle teleport got the bigger reaction during his reveal and with his regular teleport being a combo starter already in this variation it opens up his overall game more than just bigger damage on two meter combos.
he has tele pop up in one of his varations. No sickle snag is sad though. Kabal lost his aswell.
Apparanty we have the regular variations (like the beta) and the tournament variations. It's really strange i am not sure why they went this route. Maybe we will get another patch on release that will change this.
Dawg is Amplified Shadow Tackle unblockable
What do you mean by "regular variations"?
I presume shadow tackle can only be amplified on hit, which makes the hit "unblockable". This is a silly and misleading piece of in-game data that NRS has utilized for a while in their games.
I figured as much, it would be too good to be true.
It's basically a bunch half baked custom variations NRS slapped together. Some of them dont even have all 3 slots filled out. These presets are standard in all modes except tournament mode and ranked. So like you mentionend, if you want to train with tournament variations (which you will find in tournament mode) you have to set the appropriate tournament moves manually in training mode.
That process sounds tedious. I hope NRS addresses this issue in the day 1 patch.
