Reptile got buffed, AGAIN!

I just tested the Dash Attack changes and now the opponent after Dash Attack 2nd hit is in a small juggle, this means that if you got an ambush Kameo move, you can now juggle the opponent after the 2nd hit.

Reptile players eating good!

EX is safe against FB too. Idk all the kameos that will convert but I tested Scorp and worked like a champ

Welp, of al the things to nerf/hotfix about t1000 they go for 2,4 hit stun, wich causes super fun kameo interactions.

I assume this means now that the madam bo drink loops dont work.

Sindel 50 health nerf she’s dead now.

No buffs to Kitana sounds sketchy already….

It doesn't work with janet, mavado, or sonya, all kameos who really help and benefit reptile. I think the better aspect of the change is that its safe on flawlessblock

But it does work with other Kameos, Reptile is a character that can work with every Kameo with the game depending on your playstyle and gameplan, and like Aquaman said, with Kameo Scorpion it works very well. So you just need to find the right Kameo for this movie. I already saw that Sektor can juggle after this with Missile.

Normalized maybe not nerfed to the ground.
He got multiple nerfs meanwhile Cyrax goes untouched.

Of course. NRS probably wasn’t really aware of how good Cyrax is while doing the recent balance patch. A lot of people didn’t even know of the Cyrax+Sareena team until the recent Texas Showdown major. Also, Cyrax isn’t really that OP imo. She just works really well with some Kameos, especially her + Sareena. Also, it’s not like a bunch of Cyrax players are dominating the meta. How many Cyrax mains even attended Texas Showdown let alone placed well? Genuinely asking btw, I have no idea, but I feel like it’s a low number

I'm saying it's fucked up to lure people in with something busted and magical, take their money, and then immediately neuter it with no concern for the people they just pissed off

I do agree that NRS has traditionally had a bad habit of over nerfing characters, they also have had a tendency to knee jerk balance characters. This is why the NRS community has some of the most downplayers you’ll ever see. A lot of them are simply afraid of their mains who they have worked hard training with getting nerfed and nerfed to the point to where all the work you put into the character has gone to waste. That said, there hasn’t been many nerfs recently that completely nerfs a character into the ground, at least not that I’m aware of. Anyway, this is why I’m such a strong advocate for buffing far more than you nerf, and that when you do make nerfs, to make absolutely sure they’re warranted and to not overnerf or change the character so much that they’re no longer fun to use.

However, with all of that said, they didn’t lure anyone in with some sort of promise of the character being OP. He just happened to be really good, too good. They never advertised him as made purposely top tier, there was no reason to assume any negative intent or an intent to deceive anyone. Also, the nerfs are due to community feedback. Not just with their words, but also simply demonstrating what he was capable of doing. Some still don’t think NRS takes the communities feedback into consideration, which is absolutely wild to me that some actually believe that is true.

So, it’s not like they intentionally advertised T-1000 as an OP character and/or marketed him as such. Only to know they were going to nerf him once a good portion of the purchases of him went through.

It’s impossible to make everyone happy. While I do think they should buff instead of nerf the vast majority of the time, that’s often fairly unreasonable to expect. I’d imagine it’s a lot easier to maintain overall balance if you just nerf the OP character versus buffing a bunch of other characters. The balance patch would take much much longer to do, and tbh, balance patches don’t really benefit NRS hardly at all.

I could do a deep dive of all this, but a lot of it would be things I’ve said so many times before already.

He'll be all right. T-1000 players will just need to level up.

People have gone farther with worse characters.

Yeah I don’t think that’s was my point.
I could do better with Lao even before the nerfs, T-1000 was fun now trash
Might as well pick up Quan now but no I think I’m just done with this game.
Fatal furry is more fun.
