Video/Tutorial - Unstoppable Problems found with Jason's Resurrection (Updated Oct 4 Patch)

Update: With the Oct 4 patch Netherrealm has fixed two bugs: the Predator Scimitar Stab bug and Health Debuff Round Loss bug! This is terrific news and I would like to thank NRS for the fixes. You can see the fixed bugs here:
Fixed Problem 1 - Resurrection can win a round against Cutthroat Kano

Also there's a bug with cutthroat kano that causes him to die if he triggers Jason's resurrection while his damage buff is draining his health.
This unfairly wins a round for Jason if these conditions are met.

Fixed Problem 2 - Avoid Resurrection Bug against Predator



Jason's Resurrection activates when he reaches 1% health or lower. If the second hit of Predator's Scimitar Stab lands the final hit on Jason, Jason will not resurrect right away. In the footage provided, if Jason keeps moving or doing anything at all he will not go into resurrection unless he stops moving completely or gets hit again. This means Jason still has a potential comeback window before using Resurrection when he should have resurrected. I have actually had this scenario happen to me and I was able to win a round against a Predator player online. The first hit of Scimitar Stab will activate Resurrection normally, and EX Scimitar works completely fine as well. Again this scenario is very rare but will make Predator players think twice about ending a round with regular Scimitar. And here's the best part! Jason can activate a health buff to get back into the positive health zone and continue the fight like nothing happened, AND he can be put below 1% health by the scimitar stab over and over again so this bug could be repeated forever.


There still remains two problems with Resurrection that existed before the patch and should be known.


Problem 1 - Alien's Pounce can cause a side switch


Alien does not have any special moves like Predator's Scimitar Stab or Jason's EX Squeeze that allow him to choose which side to throw the opponent. If Jason's Ressurection activates while he is hit by Alien's Pounce OR EX Pounce, Jason is thrown to the opposite side. This should not happen because every other member in the cast as well as Jason in his other two variations when killed by Alien's Pounce does not get side switched. Another reason why this should not happen is because Jason does not get side switched if Resurrection activates on the very first hit from Pounce.


Problem 2 - Bo' Rai Cho's Throw can cause a side switch

Pretty much the same thing as stated with Alien, but it happens with Bo' Rai Cho's Throw. It happens with his forwards and backwards throws.

Good tech for the predator matchup!

Lol but yeah this needs fixing. Also there's a bug with cutthroat kano that causes him to die if he triggers Jason's resurrection while his damage buff is draining his health.

I was lucky to not fall against Jason with my Alien Tarkatan...

Thanks for your vision, Paulo!

These are really cool! It's such a weird bug. Good stuff finding these, I heard Unstoppable is S+ tier already.

Also, pro tip, Scimitar is pronounced "sim" like "simulation" not "skim" like "skim milk."

Damn that sucks for Kano. I haven't seen it happen but That should be addressed too.

Lol I have problems like this with various words. I used to say infrared like in-frared rather than in-fra-red

Just bumping to show everyone I found another side switch bug with Bo' Rai Cho's throw. I missed testing that and had it happen to me online today.

Also added in the cutthroat kano damage buff problem.
