I am fairly certain Sub and Tremor will get some buff love since they won their polling for such.

I don't mind a nerf to b12 Piercing, just not Tanya level of overkill. It has a part in the way Piercing plays and combos.

On a side note, I hope Tanya gets some love in this patch. She deserves a few buffs.

Call me optimistic, but I think the fact that they have been waiting this long to announce it (they still haven't truly announced it) they are taking serious amounts of time on this patch, which should mean an increase in quality. I think they have this one down.

Wait, wait, WAIT. WAIT.

Did I see someone make a comment about Killing Machine? Ohhh, he gets "infinite" armor for six whole seconds. He can't jump. If he lands a combo too late into the buff, he drops it and likely gets full combo punished. If you avoid him altogether during his buff (hint, hint, HE CAN'T FREAKIN' JUMP) until it runs out, you get a full combo punish.

Where's the issue here?

Please tell me who are the top players getting into top 8 with Kano and Cage. Just curious.
If you really think someone needs to make top 8 with a character for them to be done you obviously have no logic lol. That's like saying if a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it then it was silent.

Yeah but unless I'm a serious player, I'm not going to spend hours and hours learning how to do this one very annoying thing just to beat this one specific character. It's just not fun or meaningful.
Lol it doesn't take "hours and hours" to get past zoning in this game man. i appreciate your posts though since it is interesting to see week 1 MKX thoughts again, I thought Jacquii was stupid too back then when Justin Wong bodied me with his day 2 Jacquii 20-2.

Feel the nerf of despair
That was after other buffs she already received and they made her forward advancing footsie tool less disadvantageous on block, more advantageous on hit, and plus with b12. Those aren't little tweaks. That would be like saying Cassie's B1 + on block would be a minor tweak.
The primary alteration to her game was changing b12 to +2 on block. F1 was made +2 on block at this point but the real story was b12. That was when Foxy started making his come up with the character. Everything else she had received at that point did not affect the characters overall strategy .

Receiving a 6 and 7 frame d1 and d3 later in another patch and making b1 -2 (from -6), and reducing the cancel window altered this style slightly. Sai buffs were icing on the cake.

i voted tanya cause nerf tanya
Savage af.

So are my top 5 picks automatically condemned as OP? Not that who I voted for doesn't have some stupid stuff but I'd still hate to see anyone receive the Injustice Scorp/CSZ/Tanya treatment.

Imho Alien, CT and Piercing are the only characters that are legitimately overwhelming. D'Vorah and Takeda are dumb too, but they're somewhat manageable and at least have exploitable weaknesses. Again, not that they don't need adjustments, just that I don't see them as "OP".

I'm pleased to see the votes are pretty unanimous though. And muh boii Rep with one vote over here like ayyy #stealthbuffmystealthbitches.

So no one cares about wargod/sungod Kotal? I guess we're gonna hear a lot of "On your knees!" in the next few months.... If you don't nerf him at all, at least make it so he doesn't say that line over and over again lol.

And what's up with all the Ermac hate ??
