The hotfix just came out...

[G4S KT]

the one I use is:

3, d+1, 2 > late jump kick > airthrow > smokebomb > 3, d+1, 2 > jump kick > airthrow

starting with a jump in punch it now does 45%. used to do 43%

EDIT: No longer so sure it's more damage than it was, but it sure isn't 10 percentage points fewer like was claimed at the beginning of the thread.

 

[G4S KT]

Also, Kano is one of my secondaries and his one bnb:

b+1, 1, 2 > dash > 2, 1, 2 > dash > b+1, 2 > up ball

(starting with a jump punch) is up to 37%. I'm not sure what it was before but it sure as hell wasn't 37%

 

[KangDo]

Can someone test this combo for Liu Kang?

b+, dash, b+, dash, f+, bike kick

That's the one I did instead of the traditional bnb and does the same damage. Can someone see how much it does now?

Edit: Just tested it. It also does less damage but now 1% more than the traditional one.

Ok I tried many times and I don't know if I miss something or what but I get 44. And with jump in punch I get 47 lol. Is the patch something you download or what? Cause when I turned my ps3 and all I didn't get any notice.

 

[babalook]

can someone test 21EXbomb, mid bomb, uppercut, bomb explodes, b2, dash 33net, teleport 33reversekick it did about 52%

Not impressed at all

Some titbits on Scorpion:

1. His mid screen BnB went from 43% to 41%.
2. His corner BnB (requires 1 meter) went from 52% to 48%
3. And LOL, his went from 31% to 30% as it's were soooooo overpowered to begin with
/sarkasm (one of the worsest X-rays in the game, now with reduced damage)

Not impressed, NRS. Damage is the only thing which keeps Scorp barely competitive (if at all) and they bit-by-bit stripping even that away.

I'm still lol'ing at reptile being nerfed so hard

First off yes before I start ranting. I went ahead and stopped my background download to test this out anyway.... I dont know where all this hate/ignorance whatever of 360 came from. This is the first update I have ever seen on 360 where it doesnt exist when one is not online. Updates don't just start disappearing for no apparent reason like some people think.
Firstly updates prompt you whether or not you want to update. Choose no if you dont care about being online and things being fixed but if you choose yes it gets saved to the system memory. The mufuggin 360 does not have Alzheimer's people you unplug it the update is still there. You unplug the ethernet cord its still there. Why? Cause its in the system memory things don't disappear without a rhyme or reason. You never come online an update will never exist. If your system cache gets cleared every single update will get deleted in the process. End story end rant.

Some say that on the 360 you have to be online in order to get the hotfixes. If you are offline then you are playing vanilla MK. Personaly im no so sure about this whole thing cause i havent tested it.

@Koompbala: The hotfix is applied on the fly when you start the game and you get this message: "Checking for new online features." You DONT download anything. NRS applies the fix from their servers.

3. And LOL, his went from 31% to 30% as it's were soooooo overpowered to begin with
/sarkasm (one of the worsest X-rays in the game, now with reduced damage

It was always 30%.

how do you know this? lots of games have that message when you start the game but you still have to download a patch.

 

[ClawlessVictory]

This is great. Now fix the goddamn netcode.

I consider myself a huge Mortal Kombat fan, and I really like this game, but I simply have no desire to play it anymore in it's current state. I haven't played it in about a week now and have gone back to Street Fighter. Netcode like this is completely unacceptable and I, like many others I'm sure, will lose interest and move on.

 

[D_Matt_Ma]

Not that anyone cares, but I confirmed poor Jax got nothing from the hotfix, which puzzles me to no end. I also confirmed Baraka, Sheeva, and Kano got a buff, while... Jax got nothing. That patch coming out in a few weeks better do something for the poor dood.

 

[lobo]

NRS needs to STOP NERFING SHIT. don't they realize that we like having tiers to discover and overcome and play with? lets not make this game into tekken6 with 30 variations of one character. pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!

 

[THTB]

Lol, the nerfs for the most part are only damage reductions and issues that needed to be fixed (Sonya/Kabal block inf, Quan rune trap guaranteed on block, Baraka being ass).

 

[Konqrr]

On page one, I mistakenly said that the patch was only on the PS3. It was always on the 360, but you had to download it then restart your system and be connected to XBL for it to be active.

So for anyone who doesn't know, sign into XBL, start the game and it will automatically download the latest info, then reboot your Xbox and sign into XBL again and the patch will be active.

Sorry for any confusion.

@DanCock, Sindel's infinite is still in... that will be fixed in the full patch.

 

[Dandy J]

The 'nerfs' to characters where the % of combos only changed a tiny bit sounds like a change in the scaling algorithm for the entire game, not specific character nerfs. The notes seem to reflect that.

You dipshit your not making 360 look any better here. No where in my post did is say it prompts to update. Also the very first sentence in my huge rant answered Dmck's question. You obviously just skimmed over my post which is fine. But you skimmed over critical points I made. I was talking about people saying how updates disappear in general not this one specifically. But if you actually read my whole post you would actually understand what I was talking about.

 

[deathgun]

yea, it seens the update only works when you get online. Yesterday I connected my 360 to update the game and it worked. Now I turned the videogame on to check it out (its not online) and the update wasnt there. The reason for doing a patch system like that is beyond my brain capacity, seens like a hugely idiot thing to do, even more when you think they done the game "looking for competitive playing". Its gonna be funny to play the 1.0 version in every tournamment.

 

[Zebster]

Its gonna be funny to play the 1.0 version in every tournamment.

Not every tournament. EVO is gonna be played on PS3 which doesn't have the patching problem.

You can make your point without calling him names. He didnt say anything to warrant you calling him a dipshit.

 

[Hitoshura]

Noob bnb damage midscreen got nerfed? AWWWWW It sucks enough :/

 

[Koompbala]

I beg to differ but your a mod so I know that I should listen to you. My reasoning is if I put myself in Repulsar's shoes and I call someone out. Quote someones post dont fully read it and miss critical points in the quote and mention how their wrong. If that was me doing that I sure as hell expect someone to call me a dumb ass for it. Which has happened to me before and Ive called myself dumb when I catch my error before anyone else, but I guess thats just me.
