“Let’s give Liu two throws it would be cool”
“Yeah, he’d be sick!”
“How about Johnny?”
“Cage? Fuck him, he doesn’t need one!”
“Ok.”

“Let’s make the players use only one trow cause fuck the players and their characters”
“What about Johnny?”
“Didn’t you just hear me? I said FUCK THE PLAYERS!”
“SAY NO MORE!”

Quick request, Braindead: can you please change the title to specify that this patch is XB/PS only? I'm sure us PC or Switch folk already are used to delayed patches, but it helps with clarity.
 
So having a serious patch issue my game keeps randomly fucking letting go of block and other buttons and im freaking out cause i just spent 130 on a pad for christmas and it was fine yesterday .. is anyone else having issues? any saibot players ?
I'll try tonight after I reinstall the game lmao.

EDIT: Which pad are you using?
