I see. Thanks, guys. However, judging by how Sony works, I think it'll be late the night. Usually, it gets its update during 4am-5am (Greece time).

Well, since today is Tuesday and the PlayStation Store has to update for new games, the new PlayStation Plus free games, sales, etc, it will probably be around 3PM EST or so that we get the patch.

I hope that isn't the case, however. I'd really like to get some practice in with the new changes before having to go to work.

I hope so, too. I want to check things out for my boy, and update the information for UB and stuff.

I wanna test the changes to f1(2). I mean, Mileena's b1 in Piercing was 11f, right? She did great with it. So, maybe this change to Kotal's b1 isn't all that bad. People do have legitimate points when they say with the universal changes that his b1 would have been way too good in what's to become the current build of the game.

He still has great strings without any change as far as I remember. The b1 stagger into throws/tick thorows was annoying, a lof characters were not able to do anything, we were scared to push buttons :( He still has his advantage with the sword toss but obviously not as great as it use to be but still legit i think.

Every character in the game had an answer to his tick throws.

I dont think armor breaks are gone. Combine ex-bomb with F21...
The strength of his old armour break was the element of mix. F21 is not a mix.

Time will tell. But this patch may have made Cyrax worse on paper. However, the changes to stamina and anti airs may have helped his neutral, we'll just have to wait and see.

This is the result of you whining about nerfs and buffs. We asked for the balance, and you kept whining about nerfs and buffs. Now face the consequences of your whining. This is why NRS was laughing on your face. Good luck. ;)

I think we're going to have to just wait to see how prominent wakeups are now they're weaker across the board, armour breaking was godlike before because everyone wanted to wakeup because they knew it beat most mixup attempts if they knew the MU.

In theory people will be blocking more because armour gets less payout whilst having more hits, but at the same time with b1 being really slowed down it's going to be a lot harder to mix people from air net/in oki.

Everything about Cyrax is going to change, we just need to get our hands on the actual patch to figure out just how much.

Opponents armouring through the clone out of the corner is nothing new just can't D4 Armour Break anymore with the new 2 Hits.

Need to bait it out or break it another way, then when there's no meter it's still business as usual for GM.

Haters will still hate we just need to be smarter ⛄
True dis. Be a Heisenberg to get rid of these punks.

Neah, now we just can wait and armor through your attack and the clone, so corner game is gone while meter is available.

Frost BROKEN bomb launcher is gone, no more safe armor spam after finally getting arround the clone.

You will NEVER break armors again, so tough luck.

Idiotic j1 spam while opponent is trapped by the clone will now be anti aired with everything (hopefully, because IF IT STILL HITS YOU DONT WANNA KNOW)

Basically now it's a timeout game midscreen that we just have to play the same as you.

Or just pick F/T which is unchanged, and destroy you.

I feel good about this.

M.D needs more Takeda beat down in his life. To make him realize that Mortal Kombat top tiers doesn't revolve around Sub Zero. Never did before, and never will.
I am curious if he actually is the only one to keep more than 1 rep of his pressure because of pushback in shiray ryu kunais still there.

However, Takeda is a lot more manageable than GM that's for sure.

Also Top tiers didn't revolve around Sub Zero because of Takeda in the first place.
