The hotfix just came out...

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

The Hotfix just came out on PS3 only.

It DOES work even if you aren't connected to the internet, as long as you updated once.

There is no patch, it automatically applies.


List of official damage nerfs:

Nerfed

Scorpion

Sub Zero

Smoke

Reptile

Kung Lao

Noob

Liu Kang

Not Nerfed

Raiden

Nightwolf

Cyber Sub Zero

Johnny Cage

Sonya

Kano

Baraka

Jax

Barely Nerfed (1-3% off of BnB)

Kitana

Ermac

Jade

Shang

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

So Reptile BnB is down 7% 43 to 36

Kung Lao's is down 3 or 4% I can't recall what his old one was.

Smoke's is down a whopping 10%.

 

[Fulan]

ermacs BnB dmg is down by a percent or so. lol.

 

[GNG Iniquity]

I'll have to boot the game up shortly and see if they did indeed speed up the frames on Kano's upball. I did hear conformation regarding his F+3 being fixed to hit low, though, which I'm happy about! F+3 B+2 will be far more viable now.

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

Wow, Sub Zero's BnB is down by like 7% or something crazy.

I'm doing:

3 3 xx Freeze > NJ Punch > Back+1 2 > 2 1 2 xx Slide and I'm only getting 30%

 

[atthegates]

posted my findings here: http://testyourmight.com/forum/showthread.php?4000-The-MORTAL-KOMBAT-9-IS-IN-STORES-NOW-NEWS-THREAD-(DLC-Patches-Updates-Spoilers-amp-Leaks-etc)&p=59318&viewfull=1#post59318

- global damage nerf
- kano's f+FK low hit
- baraka b+FK-FP chain now has less recovery -> followup combos possible. check the link for the combos.

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

Noob's damage is down from 24% and 27% on his BnB's to 20% and 22%.

I'm not the only one getting this right?

I tried my long ass sonya 48% combo and it was the same just now, so I assume it isn't just me.

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

Sonya's damage is literally untouched.

Hello new main? haha.

 

[Deathology]

Kung Lao Corner: Teleport 2 > jk ~ dive kick > spin > jk ~ dive kick > jk ~ dive kick > x-ray > dash 2, 4, 1+3, 2 (was 74%, now 54%)

Edit: Sonya did receive a small damage nerf for some of her 40%+ combos, but only by like 1% and 2% for the ones that I've tried, it was probably just from the global damage scaling.

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

Liu Kang's BnB down by 5%

Jax is unchanged from what I can see.

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

Scorpion BnB down like 4%

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

It appears Ermac is almost untouched.

Like someone said I think it's down by 1%?

 

[Konqrr]

Kitana bnb 51 down to 48.

This update is ONLY on the PS3 right now lol

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

Shang BnB down 2%

Almost no change for him or Kitana.

 

[DanCock]

chef or konqrr.

is sindel able to still flight cancel? her infinite gone? and is she able to finally use that scream in ground 2 in 1's like 4~scream. ???

shang tsung seems unchanged as well.
j.P-BP-BP-FP,QCB+BK, QCF+BK, QCF+BK+BLK, d,u+BK, dash FP-BP-b,b+FP (42%)
j.P-BP-BP-FP QCB+BK, QCF+BK, QCF+BK+BLK, d,u+BK, dash, FP-BP-HCB+FK (43%)
Corner j.P-BP-BP-FP,d,u+BK, f+BK-FK-BK, d,u+BK (36%)
all the same before and after patch.

 

[REYTHEGREAT]

What? What was done to smoke? The damage overall? Or the OTG smoke bomb?

 

[cgerrr]

I don't think that 1-4% damage nerf will stop Kung and Ermac from dominating: expected something along the lines of 10-12% damage nerf. And nerfing the damage of already weak Saibot bnbs is beyond me, of course if there isn't some new undiscovered features for him in this patch.

No news on Raiden? He really screams "nerf me".

Like the Baraka buff - maybe we'll see some Baraka action soon.

Think that Sub/Smoke damage nerfs are justified - good call NRS.

Edit
Scorpion got nerfed too? Lol what next: let's nerf Noobs BnBs maybe? Oh, wait...

 

[ezpk]

Raiden BnB still does 33%, didn't test others.

Sub mid xray BnB does 43% instead of 49% so I think his Xray scales more now (Mid without xray does 30% instead of 32%)

Yes she can flight cancel, no idea what her infinite is, she can cancel into scream, but I couldn't find one that combod. Of course I don't know her at all.

 

[ezpk]

OTG smoke bomb still works but his combos do less damage.

 

[atthegates]

Nightwolf:
*j.P-b+BP-BP,QCF+FP, dashing b+BP, QCF+FP, dashing FP-BP-BP,f,f+BK (40%,unchanged)

but:
*Corner j.P-[f+FK-FP-BP]x3, FP-BP-BP,f,f+BK (14 hits, 48%) down 6%

ahh sounds like she's the same. I'll test it tonight thank you.

her infinite ill make it simple to test, go into practice put full meter on then do 2 into EH scream then do flight cancel into 2 EH scream again if the damage resets and they don't get knocked to the ground then her infinite is still in

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

So basically Ermac and Raiden got away untouched, Kung got almost no nerf, and characters like Noob and Reptile got nerfed the hardest?

Yeah this looks like a great patch!

 

[Tim Static]

Todays hotfix was damage buffs for Kano and made online free for PSN users till the store is up.

A patch is coming in a couple weeks and will actually fix quite a few bugs and buff some more characters.

This is direct from Paulo Garcia. fyi
