NRSting patch. The reiko projectile trade could be their first step towards trying projectile trading in MK? Just a thought. EX going away is kinda tragic. Personally super excited for those scorpion kameo aura changes, I have been using it a lot on Shao/Scorp lately with high pay offs and it's looking like my go to for Conan as well.

I cannot see a single difference of raytracing on vs off.

Also, the memory leak problem from the first ghostface patch is back, which means you are absolutely fucked if you play tournaments because it will randomly manifest and fuck your entire game. Yay. Classic NRS.

The Reiko nerf HAHAHA LTG is going to jump off his roof. At least he's a real grappler now and not a retarded grappler/zoner

I wouldn't even say it's projectile trading. Reiko's doesn't stop theirs, which is what projectile trading would be, yeah? The opponent's projectile blows through his and damages him. Previously, this could only be done via certain EX projectiles (Tanya, Sindel, Sub-Zero, etc), but now it can be done with any basic projectile, even against his EX one. That's the part I find to be strange. The EX projectile should have been left alone since it costs a bar. It's whatever, however. Myself and others will adapt accordingly.

Reiko now has to be played at kick length or closer because you're losing 100% fireball battles. Yay.

Sektor is now a nightmare.
What's funny is that there are legions of people saying that now Reiko players have to learn to play the game and not rely on just projectiles. Who the hell are these people and why are they that bad to where they're losing against just that? If they're able to get beat by just projectiles, the skill issue is on their end, not ours.

If it's so easy and so effective, why isn't everyone doing it to achieve wins all over the place, you know? I can't stand the mindset of these clowns.

I sincerely think that regular projectiles cancelling out Reiko's EX projectile is just bonkers. Like, what the hell is the point of that?
