Last night...I played pre-patch MK9.

[Axel_Redd]

judging by the amount of players

not really

what did subzero all have prepatch besides his resets?

 

[Seapeople]

how was sub S-tier?

The biggest reasons imo were Tom showing really good results at tourneys, the general lack of armor, and other characters hadnt been explored to the extent they are today

Yeahh but by the time his reset was known he definitely wasnt S tier anymore. I'd take lack of armor over the reset any day though

agreed, can you imagine the corner traps

 

[BlackBryan]

Knives all day, son!

I was called unreasonable for deleting the patch sometime ago too. ;_;

Pre-patch is something I wanna explore, but there's no one to play with here. It is fun to see the AI try punish Lao's spin with Gotha Grab though.

I'd love to see a casual pre-patch tournament. Especially Kabal, since he was unexplored back then.

 

[Konqrr]

Sonya corner infinite FTW!

Midscreen anywhere infinites too. Why were they removed? You're welcome

Sub had dat damage and the resets too. He was very very good pre-patch.

Scariest thing is, Sonya is better now than she was with the infinites...

No, you would get hit.

No she isn't lol ... she touches you with d4~ms, the round is over to a block infinite... how is she better now without that?

I'm bustin' chops!

 

[Justice]

According to most around here, Sonya is still like that without the infinites.

I just find her to be more well-rounded post patch. But yeh, the damage output was insane back then

 

[TakeAChance]

I miss that Jade. That Jade was beast.

 

[Mikemetroid]

Air to air jump punches not scaling was fun times early in the game when they happened non-stop

Upball was fun too wasn't it bro

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

LMFAO Reptile 47% midscreen BnB and 67% corner into reset, crazy meter-building , pushback on Elbow Dash and lack of armor + less invincibility frames on wake-up makes Forceballs BAWSS.

And my beloved pre-patch Sub. Corner Ice Clone set-up into just-out-of-range 22 on block ALL DAY!

Not to mention Raiden Teleport was like -10 at the time.

Smoke JK~AG reset anyone?

Cyrax B1212 bomb trap.

Kano KNIVES AND UPBALL OMG.

how was sub S-tier?

I don't know if he was S tier (in hindsight, lets face it a lot of characters were very unexplored). But he was definitely atleast A+, and it wasn't even just stuff taken away from him it was all the other buffs other characters got that affected Sub more than anyone else. Jax used to loose to Sub, Johnny Cage pretty much could not touch Sub, Sonya could not wake up vs Sub. Basically every time another character got an armor move it was an indirect nerf to Sub Zero. Not only that but he actually used to be a very damaging character, even without his reset.

 

[Konqrr]

Hardest nerfed - Sub-Zero
Biggest buffed - Jax

Not touched at all - Kenshi

 

[DanCock]

I love sindel pre patch. 4 special cancel was amazing.

Hardest nerfed - Sub-Zero

I think Kano received the most significant nerfs. He went from top 10 to bottom 5 within a patch. At least Sub Zero is still a solid mid tier character.
