Subzeros command grab tic that will lead into a full combo or reset for one bar is definitely making him the viable offense choice apposed to Grandmaster.

 

[Sunny_D]

Also Cyber Sub hype! Hes already still decent but more buffs coming my way )

We can't be saying shit like "full combo" or "reset" for move we know nothing about, it's how you create salt for no reason. That being said, interesting change.

Yeah but if it is going to be his command grab attack he most likely will be able to meter burn at the end of it, and even if he cant you can still do a tic after his norm reset which is still going to make his offense strong af. Not broken Strong but definitely more than viable

a mileena buff yay!

 

[Xxonemanwolfpax]

so explain to me why mileena is getting a buff??? and cryo command grab hype!

 

[ragnar0kz28]

If Kitana doesnt get something I started using removed, I will make a video after the patch for some safe combo enders into sharpen, into more pressure

Well I don't think it is a buff, as she will have to burn meter to combo after roll. They reduced the hight of the opponent after roll.

 

[Gofer_MK]

Did that ball roll nerf just kill mileena? From what I understand, she can only convert off of ball roll if she enhances it. I don't even know any combos where she doesn't use a ball roll. I feel like she won't ever have meter anymore. Especially in Ethereal.

Well, she has a lot meter all the time, let her spend some on other things, not just the breaker.

Watch the video again.

ok, but whats actually the point of this? it might do better scaling so way higher damage. I hope it doesnt make her worse omg

The point is to use meter, on which she sits through the whole game.

How is what they're showing for Mileena a buff?

well if it scales for a good amount its kinda like a buff, if not its not

 

[Sunny_D]

Its not a buff if she needs to meterburn to combo off it. Qlthough i do think she will be able to continue it meterlessly in the corner hopefully. As much as i hate playing against her she still needs to be able to combo without meter to some extent.

to begin with she doesnt need a lot of meter, so if this extender only costs a bar AND if it scales her damage way higher then its a buff, if not its not a buff

 

[Xxonemanwolfpax]

thats all im trying to say

 

[Invincible Salads]

aaaand,just like that mileena dropped, she can't get meterless combo's no more congrats nrs, u ruined mileena.
