Glad to see more gameplay changes to various characters.

For sub-
Enhanced Ice Klone & Fully Enhanced Ice Klone cooldown increased by 60 frames

1. Ok looks like we've still got at least 3 clones (normal/enhanced/fully enhanced)
2. Sooo is the cd for regular clone now separate (or was it always?) , but i'm assuming it just uses the worse cd (no using regular if you just used EX and it would still be on cd?)

I mean fuck they almost need a meter for sub's clones cd. Not just for the sub player but the opponent as well. It probably works, but feels so inelegant.

 

Smoke and sub zero got new toys and homelander got a little more manageable. Everyone else is mostly the same. No complaints from me.

I hope they fixed the weird memory leak thing that was happening in the PC - while not introducing a new game-breaking bug (like desynchs)

 

Well halleluja. They gave Sub-Zero some shit. Time to lab tonight

 

First thing I am personally messing with is the new frost ambush. Seeing some wild things already like gaurenteeing sento on block for kenshi players and setting up potentially plus launching mix after any knockdown. +4 on block unless a streamer lied to me? Huge launch to it as well. Saw a General Shao route setting it up and doing a full b32 b32 rotation back into axe for about a 60-70% sequence for a bar

 

Hmm, might have to mess around with Smoke again.

Still would like to see a massive balance patch but I doubt we’ll ever get that. As I’ve mentioned before, there’s zero incentive for NRS to put that much time, money, and effort into a balance patch that less than 1% of the playerbase would actually even appreciate. And that’s assuming every comp player liked the changes. As we know, that has never been the case. Never will be able to please everyone.

Also, glad they didn’t panic and listen to the people complaining about Scorpion. Yes, he’s a good, arguably top 5 or so character now. But nothing he has needs to be nerfed. js

 

Haven't played in awhile but if Goro kameo is viable now I might have to comeback for that crazy damage.

 

The kitana changes look fun, it looks like new combo opportunities in the corner as well and Sonya comboing off of normal flick could give her really good damage

 

So the Replay Takeover feature is absolutely greatly implemented.

• You can turn off the countdown and pop-up windows for instant action, great.
• You can show frames and button protocol.
• Time skipping feels fantastic.
• You can set your own safe point and jump to it.
• Slowmotion is also nice to have.

For sure not just a thrown in feature but really thought out trough.
Massive thumbs up, @NRS.
-----
So I went online, still watching the dead boring screen ... ... ... WiFi-Warrior (Decline) ... ... ... WiFi-Warrior (Decline) ... ... ... WiFi-Warrior (Decline) ... ... ... Cable-Warrior (let's go) ...
I still won't play online in my spare time, it feels awful but hope for online practice while searching games, is really high now, seeing how well they implemented replay-takeover.

62 days left
Patch notes:

• you can now search for online games (ranked or casual) while in practice mode
• cable players get an option, to filter out WiFi-Warriors (why not ... I also waste time of WiFi-Warriors when I decline all of them ...)

Playing games, where single frames matter on WiFi, is an insult to gamers ... stop it scrub and enter the gaming world (For those who don't care, waste your time or enjoy it with other WiFi-Warriors.)

 

It took 13 and a half years, but it looks like Sub-Zero FINALLY got the buffs he's been waiting for .
