Wow I never used this risky shit for earning respect.I think reborn will be fine, only thing we really lost is people having to respect d1~teleport
People think Scorpion is free now.Honestly after this nerf i think i am playing better now. I have a winning streak of 12
I wouldnt be so sure. His gameplan has not changed very much man.Poor Scorpion. Because some low skilled player cant handle his move, now he is totally f* at high level plays. Feeling the pros who was using him.
He wasnt doing good at all in the Pro competition so far, it will be even worst now.
Scar's full screen buffer teleport mixups hurt a bit lol.I wouldnt be so sure. His gameplan has not changed very much man.
What? Shut upHow come Scorpion has a TP and not Johnny Cage ? See ? You are comparing carrots and bananas XD
It wont whiff on crouch blocked opponents. I definitely tested that out lol.Okay I checked that Cassie's low shot is still punishable by hellport. Dev's cared about that move properly.
It whiffs on pokes of course.
I played few matches and ran into situations where I wanted to whiff punish a move as usual but that move was a D4 and whiffed. So yes no more "bypass neutral" in poke war or on simple button read as if this button is a poke you whiff.
D4 is -9 and yes feels slower. Was it -9 before?
"Scorpion - Quick Kick (Down + Back Kick) recovery increased by 5 frames " it nerfed the recovery only.
If it was -9 (and probably was) I did not really cared about that my bad. -9 is quite minus not to press buttons lol.
Btw Scorpion looks fine but I played SR so probably teleport mixup Reborn players are said mainly.
I totally agree with the D4.The high tele mostly hurts raw reborn teleports imo. Best bet now is to just use it to make strings safe.
I honestly barely noticed it being a high when playing last night. I usually use it for whiff punishing and in combos so it hasn't changed in that regard.
The thing that bothered me most is the 5 extra frames of recovery on d4. His f4 is still good anyway but you can really feel those extra 5 frames.
Thats remain to be seen, cause so many variable are in place. But even before Scorpion was nerfed, he wasnt doing good at tournaments. Its just him and Sub Zero nature. At High and Pro levels its not that good.We probably won't see scorpion at top 32 or even top 64 unless there's some hidden tech with this nerf
I was saying this on Twitter last night. I hardly feel affected by this nerf at all because I don't play Reborn. If anything, it's going to make me a better player since I can't get away with just throwing out TP like a poke.The nerf doesn’t really effect me since I use Searing Rage. Actually, people are playing really strange. They either go in with no hesitation, or they neutral duck and just sit there. It’s really hilarious actually, love it.
It just makes fighting characters like cage and kang harder imo. A blocked d4 will give them more advantage now.I totally agree with the D4.
Was it -9 before patch? I do not remember but I was a bit shocked when I saw the frame data yesterday LOL.
Nah I fought people yesterday and they were outright ducking from full screen waiting for me to TP. Honestly I started using that to close space since they were sitting still. I could at times stop short and hit them with a TP after they got antsy and tried to hit a buttonPeople think Scorpion is free now.
Only teleport cancel abuser scrubs are free if they are baited even harder than before. Too much baiting is less efficient for the opponent though and Scorpion can play better footsies.
As I play SR the opponent is less stressful about the teleport and do not try to duck just block as usual.
But agaisnt Reborn we might experience ducking ducks all the time which is good.
I actually just mentioned this above lol. One dude was letting me close distance since he was waiting for me to TP like some online scrubThe nerf doesn’t really effect me since I use Searing Rage. Actually, people are playing really strange. They either go in with no hesitation, or they neutral duck and just sit there. It’s really hilarious actually, love it.
nrs always trying to take the easy way outThats remain to be seen, cause so many variable are in place. But even before Scorpion was nerfed, he wasnt doing good at tournaments. Its just him and Sub Zero nature. At High and Pro levels its not that good.
And people always cry against them, cause they are 2 of the most played characters.
Matix218, right now i have like 10 option against Scorpion teleport. I can either block or crouch and get a D2 KB and punish him for 400+ dmg, depends on the character. With Sub if i decide to go for the second KB with cross-up i can hit him for 486 damage.
I can jump and punish him. I can stand and block and punish him. I can flawless block punish him.
And everytime he eat big, big combo.
I mean his teleport always was a punishable move, but now its give more option to your imagination.
Im sorry but this is not a proper balance changes and im not talking about Scorpion but as a whole.
If you want to not get pissed many, many people, the right thing to do is to nerf something, but buff other thing, to change things up. Take something, but give something as well. Shake up the things as well.
Also there should have been universal balance, for KB, FB, throws damage and so on.
The most idiotic things you can do is to give 1 character 100 hp, and to lower the hp to the other. How dumb really is that? This is a f* FG, how can you make 1 character 950 hp, and other 1100 for example.
If this is their idea for balance things, we are in a big of trouble.
Thing is if I just threw TP out I paid for it.I was saying this on Twitter last night. I hardly feel affected by this nerf at all because I don't play Reborn. If anything, it's going to make me a better player since I can't get away with just throwing out TP like a poke.
from what I hear that's what some people wanna do. they even mash low profile buttons so they hit scorpion teleport everytimeI actually just mentioned this above lol. One dude was letting me close distance since he was waiting for me to TP like some online scrub
That online scrub TP waiting worked before too against Searing Rage.Nah I fought people yesterday and they were outright ducking from full screen waiting for me to TP. Honestly I started using that to close space since they were sitting still. I could at times stop short and hit them with a TP after they got antsy and tried to hit a button
