Question Who was the MOST Overrated character to get nerfed?

SonicNinja3532

The Wannabe Prodigy
Cage isn't bad right now lol. A-List at least. All he should get is this:
1. remove weird 5 frame delay on block thing. Cage players shouldn't have to have different timing on hit or block, execution nerf is bizarre considereing his cancels are less deadly now.
2. Make D3 -5 instead of minus 9. His only 7 frame poke shouldn't be punishable. He should have weaker defense though, so I think -5 is fair.
3. Either make ex flip kick mid or give NP armor back and make it a 2 bar armor launcher and give the regular np the ability to mb on hit.
A-List would be really good after this imo.
Regular np can mb on hit in a list already though?

Spammer. Crouch walk hater.
If MD is playing Injustice 2 I actually want Sub-Zero to be in just to see what kind of shitposting he comes up with.

But unfortunately clone is not something to be feared in an injustice context, there were such horrific multi hit zoning tools in the game and armor/hit ignoring traits that grandmaster would be vaporized in an instant.

Which....if I think of it...it would be awesome :D Let him in, sure.

I think sub will probably be like a mixture of his variations, in injustice.

Maybe he gets a redesigned clone that absorbs more than one hit... :DOGE

Shaolin was overrated.... he had no need for nerfs. Actually I think he still is overrated. However he remains ok but lacks damage making the KJ player have to outplay the opponent.

He means that you mb for a bar as well.

So ex np would be regular np with armour, then you mb for a bar.

2 bar launcher.

Most characters who have better defensive options in terms of pokes/backdash/njp have better armour which makes no sense. Cage needs something
He's one of the best offensive characters in the game he pretty much has it all tbh except for a good poke.

That got hit hard and didn't deserve it?
Cyber Sub, Cyrax, Kotal, Fisticuffs, Tremor.

No reason they should've nerfed the Up Rock.
Everything else, I could've lived without, no matter how dumb it was.
2 and 3 getting made Highs...okay. I see that.
The OTG scaling? ...eh, okay. HURTS, but there's ways around it.
Even nerfing Crystalline's EX DB1D...I could see the argument.
But the Up Rock?
He's a zoner for pretty much his whole lifespan and you eviscerate his main means of setups and space control?
Nah.

hunter predator got it pretty bad as a result of the fucking"sonicfox" combo and of course CSZ, RIP

There it is...

Lacks a good mid without stamina or an armoured mid or any fast moves (his fastest is a 9frame high) or any real mixups

He does not have it all.

If he has stamina he has most of the boxes ticked.

In some matchups his 114 121 strings have horrendous whiffing issues.

Are ya' ready for MK11 kids?!
I'm gonna play Devil's advocate and say (as someone who didn't play him by the way, just so we're clear that I'm not biased or whatever) most, if not all of the Cyber Sub hype at launch window was merely propaganda to attempt to coax NRS into continuing to patch the game.

Thing is every single KP2 variation got propagandarized during launch window, it certainly wasn't just Cyber Sub, and all of them had some straw-clutching talking points attached to them. It's just that Cyber Sub took the biggest hit relative to how good he was perceived to be. (you can't nerf Leatherface to the ground if he's already in the ground *roll safe memes inbound*)

Besides all that, the patch he was nerfed in, Bo Rai Cho was also nerfed, which pretty much proved it was simply a pre-prepared "just in case they complain about KP2" umbrella patch and immediately lost any validation behind whether NRS were actually right to do it.

I actually completely agree with @STRYKIE. There's a major panic button mentality in this community, where, if something is perceived to be very good/bad then it has to be fixed ASAP, instead of actually seeing whether it is good or bad.

Remember when the October 4th patch came out and everyone was screaming that Buzzsaw Lao was top tier?

Too bad YOU... will DIE!
Tanya got fucked relentlessly in ways that were truly outsized. She needed a few adjustments at launch, yes, but everyone whined so much that they nerfed her absolutely into the ground.
