MKX Patch Notes 5/14/15

[Wetdoba]

Not overly nerfing the "top tiers" while giving the lower guys new moves entirely? Classic Reptile? This is super hype

 

[NB Semi Evil Ryu]

This looks like a very well done patch to me, personally.

 

[nfdsallwd]

they nerfed Kung Jin, time to pick another top tier. nah but these nerfs are reasonable, i really don't want to be able to mindlessly mash ex overhead kick and get to pressure opponent after that. and his damage was way too cray, maybe there will be reason to learn optimized combos now.
also, as i understand, option selects with different moves coming on block/hit are still present?

 

[ericscissorkick]

Better damage scaling for Kung Jin? Thanks!

Kitana and Shinnok get new attacks? Yes please!

Reptile gets a Klassic Costume? YESHHH PLEASEEE!!!

I think the damage scaling was reduced lol

 

[EndofGameBoss]

I don't really care THAT much about this stuff anymore as I got my 10 in a row, but glad to see they're fixing the Spectral Ermac! Uggh X-ray Kitana and Mileena ill have to watch for

Most people won't be wasting meter on a x-ray unless it can win the game by using it's armor. I'm glad I can throw out a tele kick now on projectile zoning opponents without worrying about eating a combo though lol.

 

[Declan Deegan]

they have ruined sub zero for me! as soon as i like a character

 

[Youphemism]

I wonder what Shinnok's new B3 is...

 

[EndofGameBoss]

So, Kung Lao's spin was nerfed and Kenshi wasn't buffed?

 

[PND OmegaK]

Will this stop the Kung Jin whining?

 

[Protips]

Klassic Reptile makes me so happy. I've never liked his lizard look. The rest of the patch looks great!

 

[Brutal Chimney]

is anyone else surprised they didnt nerf Jason? that two low-overhead of his is arguably worse than anything kung jin could do

 

[Pterodactyl]

I like this.

Goro overhead's got me rubbing my nipples

edit: Hot fuck they actually made Shinnok's spooky hand a directable move, I'm so happy

It's like they gave us the only thing that we were missing.

GOOD FUCKING PATCH.

 

[VOR]

Cool, time to put a little more work into Shinnok. Want him to be at least mediocre so badly.

 

[Name v.5.0]

They took out the stupid hold block plus mash attack crap. Thank Science...

Klassic Reptile? Meh...

 

[Luke Stofan]

Kinda sad to see no changes to Kenshi. Don't want to see Pig quit this game

 

[Afk Skinny]

Also wish they adjusted Mileena's low sai too but, the tele-kick has me happy enough

 

[Peckapowa]

I think the damage scaling was reduced lol

If the scaling is reduced technically that means his combos would do more. I assume is combos are being scaled down. It's not the real problem though.

 

[Banazama]

Well, guess there's no reason to ever use Tempest Kung Lao now.

EDIT: Never mind. Didn't think less recovery would mean 40% off everything.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

FUCKING KLASSIC REPTILE DOEEEEE

 

[ericscissorkick]

No nerfs for scorpion? How am I not suprised

 

[Zyphox]

so basically no #Tuffbakeda?

 

[RelentlessOhio]

I can't believe they nerfed Lao.. and Sonya..

They Didnt nerf him.. his best variation is Buzz Saw anyways..

 

[RoboCop]

Downloading the update now...

 

[xXstealthflameXx]

HAHAHA rip high damage combos Raiden, KJ, etc. That's what you get HAHAHHA

 

[gdf]
