11/6/20 KK - Confirmed System / Balance Changes Coming

[Dogeofthesea]

I am practicing Kitana's up fan combos already. It's glorious to see her back.
Var 2 Kitana can be butchered to F- tier I don't care

 

[GrandMasterson]

I'm honestly shocked at how many significant and positive changes there are here. It's almost getting me excited to play this game again after dropping it a year ago. If we could get some break away changes then I'd be over the moon. Dare I dream?

 

[scrubjesus111]

Short hops are also buffed by the fact that knockdowns are more important with meaties being possible now. Oki will actually be a thing in this game. This also buffs 50/50 characters like terminator... I’m scared.

 

[Wigy]

I have been NRS’s biggest critic on tonnes but these changes are GREAT. I still feel annoyed its taken SO LONG. But its finally getting there.

 

[Sutter Pain]

Did yall get the option to decline WIFI on KL that was one of bigger complaints I have seen around twittter and here.

 

[Jbog]

All other changes are great but finally fixing poke meta and hit boxes really best news ever!!

 

[Zer0_h0ur]

Only thing is how the heck am I ever gonna get off the ground against the 9f mid crew and 50/50 crew lol

 

[scarsunseen]

#5 is a big buff for every setup character because there are going to be fewer wake-up options.

 

[LawAbidingCitizen]

1. Custom variations are being added to Kombat League / Ranked and Tournaments
2. Some moves are banned from competitive play despite customs. Example given was Terminator's "Terminate" move

Do we know what moves are excluded/banned? Will it end up being custom but no custom for some characters?

1. Most characters have had their D1s and D3s adjusted, including more recovery on block
2. Hop attacks are now entirely immune to D1s until you're in the recovery frames

Basically D1's are drastically nerfed hmm

 

[Dogeofthesea]

So is there anything about balancing krushing blow requirements across all characters? Please buff Johnny

 

[Gaxkang]

Seeing how the D1/D3 difference really plays out is probably of most interest because the basic gameplay needs a real overhaul. As it is it is terrible, and doesn't hold up online anyhow. But it's...just, bleh.

I hope they are doing something more with hitboxes/hurtboxes since even the most basic of those have problems that make the game look/feel clunky and ridiculous.

The custom variations is a good thing...to use the moves you want, but it will increase the cheese factor of what is already a cheesy game. So core gameplay gotta try to balance I guess.
Game has a long way to go to be more than a mashy cheesy party game really.

Raiden's Super Punch is only safe on block if you delay it

Raiden's Super Punch is only safe on block if you delay it

I figure a Scorpion will just hit teleport when the punch is delayed

 

[Jbog]

It will be nice that everyone's best buttons won't be d1 or do or d4 that has been beyond boring and annoying.

 

[NoCharge]

I'm practicing Shao 62% and Spawn 4 krushng blows combos. It is glorious.

Shao 62%?! Explain yourself, heathen.

 

[NoCharge]

Shao 62%?! Explain yourself, heathen.

Humiliate damage buff, dark priest buff, f34-bf3amp, b3, 4-bf3amp, b2-db3 kb, b2-db3.

 

[Pyrosis]

Oh. Humiliate. ...So. Not real. Lmfao.

 

[NoCharge]

Oh. Humiliate. ...So. Not real. Lmfao.

I'm hoping for buffs.

 

[Wigy]

Humiliate damage buff, dark priest buff, f34-bf3amp, b3, 4-bf3amp, b2-db3 kb, b2-db3.

ah yes, a combo just for an opponent with narcolepsy.

 

[Pyrosis]

ah yes, a combo just for an opponent with narcolepsy.

For when you play against someone who forgot to pick their controller up at the start of the game

 

[Gaxkang]

Well if they just gave the taunt moves armor just for the move, it would stop other characters from insta-comboing from across the screen or something heh

 

[Felipe_Gewehr]

Can someone explain me what's the point of having "tournament variations" slots now that customs are allowed/will be the norm for every gamemode?

 

[Trustful_Whale]

They're just variations now.

- Hop attacks are now entirely immune to D1s until you're in the recovery frames

- Getup animations are a few frames faster so you're on the ground for less time no matter what option you choose

- Delay wakeup is now just 1 middle timing. Also has an animation. No longer a short or long delay

Huge game changers
