We should grind the krypt again. 7gb has to mean something.

In the words of Black Manta, "I'd rather die here"

 

Oh seriously
Rising star costs a defensive meter too
It's not enough that it whiffs the first hit like 90% of the time I have to whiff my meter too

I mean if flawless blocked can't be amplified is fair but the meter

And what bugs me more that Sonya stayed the same

 

Yey. Another patch where they entirely ignore about 20 variations that literally never get touched.

Brilliant NRS.

The annoying thing is that every patch they change some dumb as shit tag assist or something nobody cares about but let still don't fix obviously total garbage variation. The fuck.

Its great Jacqui taking a hit, but God it's tiny shit patches once in a blue moon.

At least geras can't just yeet about like an ice skater

 

Yeaaaah, I'm putting a stop to this now, @Kiss the Missile and @Juggs. Let's not do that.

 

I'm in shock they did nothing for Raiden..

Oh well, it's a good day to be a Kitana main ^^

 

• Skarlet - Scythe Slam (Away+Back Punch) deals 20 more damage

This is an insult to the Skarlet community, do they really think that B+2 doing more damage will encourage us to even use this shitty move?

this is it, unistalling this game.

 

Skarlet b2 is not a great move but still works.

I always use it when the opponent wakes up.

 

• Increased the button input buffer when exiting a block hit reaction from 2 to 5 frames

ok wait, is that as big as it sounds? that would be a pretty great thing.

and when exactly it's a bad day to be a Kitana main? She always gets buffed every patch it's not even funny

 

ok wait, is that as big as it sounds? that would be a pretty great thing.

Can you please explain it to me , what does it mean ?

 

For everyone sad that their character didn't get touched: I believe there's a much larger balance update on the horizon. There's simply no way this game is not getting significant changes within the coming months.

 

"To put that buffer change into perspective for everyone, before a "1 frame punish" was actually a 3 frame or so punish because of the 2-3 frame buffer out of block. Now it's like 5-6 frames. I don't like that tbh I think it removes skill from the game."

From Tweedy's post on Twitter.

and now it does 20 more damage, not 20% just 2% more, great buff lmao

I dont know how else to explain it

You have more of an input window to get your button out of block now. So for me, for instance, I'd be using noob's b1 after blocking a poke, but shit loads of times get poked out of my b1. Which frame-math doesn't make sense, it's bc I wasn't near frame-perfect with my input of b1. But that window is now bigger. You can buffer it. So I can input my response to the blocked poke much easier.

This applied to any inputs out of block stun. Punishing is now way easier, and poke wars are now easier to stop if you've blocked successfully.

 

This is off topic but i am thinking what happened to all those "Jacqui is fine go practice and learn" arguments now?

What doe's this change, really? It cost her a bar to jump in on you from fullscreen (defensive not offensive) and she can no longer cancel her landing lag (which I only saw used once in Final Kombat). Once she gets in she is still gonna maul you, that didn't change.

That may be true, but she doesn't get in for free from full screen against the majority of the cast anymore.

 

Got it so basically punishing is way easier now

 

Got it so basically punishing is way easier now

Yes.

 

Yes.

Thx dude

 

It must be. 7GB sounds a lot for those changes only.

The size is about inline with the other PC patches that include DLC characters as well.

So yeah, we'll likely need to wait until next week.

 

That may be true, but she doesn't get in for free from full screen against the majority of the cast anymore.

For this nerf to really work it needs to cost offensive bar. As it stands, she gets to jump in still have full use of enhanced air blast and by the time you get away from her that defensive bar will have come back. The landing lag change might be more impactful, I didn't see used much in Final Kombat but I used it quite a bit when I played her.

 

Skarlet - Scythe Slam (Away+Back Punch) deals 20 more damage

 

Gotta get a close look at these lab features.

Kitana seems like she got quite an adjustment. Hope it works out to be just right. Let everyone stop playing HB when next to nobody wants to be.

My personal wish is that the Variation would focus more on Halfblood Stance as opposed to Edenian Razors.

Calm down man.

When you get sad, just remember you are not a Shao Kahn's player.

 

My personal wish is that the Variation would focus more on Halfblood Stance as opposed to Edenian Razors.

I feel the same, half blood stance is a pretty interesting move, with the cancels and the KB, edenian razors is just autopilot...
