Discussion MKXL Character Buffs & Changes General Discussion

And I honestly wouldn't mind a list nerfs such as getting rid of his jails and turning to +6. A 7 frame poke is so good. If he had a 7f s1 he'd be super dumb.

As long as he still had positive pressure to work with, it wouldn't really be an issue aside from reducing his chip damage.

Damn the Tanya Kobu players got hit hard

Here's a video to show my condolence on the subject

i expect to see a lot more Alien players

REKKAS LIVE lol

 

[Asodimazze]

Good changes but I expected some buffs for Ancestral, High Tech. Too bad they didn't get something.

Also, fisticuff buffs are very bad he is basically the same as in Beta. Not viable

You have to EX now. BS! I have to commit a bar of meter just to tick throw if they blocking. according to the Kano footage, you have to EX just to connect the combo ender into grab. That really suck, cause I play Commando and tend to use meter for quick parties. Now I have to do it just to tick throw! That garbage son. Tick grabs are different for everyone. Kotal and Erron tick throw are different also.

Isnt it like on block you tick like you used to but on hit you have to EX Cmd?

 

[ninjutsubreh]

Hmmmm are his Rekka staggers reactable or punishable?

his one punishable (some ppl said it can be delayed and becomes safe) and it doesnt juggle

I'm happy they didn't ignore FC completely, as I expected. But yeah, he needed a lot more to be viable. No ex fistbump, no (at least not mentioned) frame changes for speedbag...

Let's see what happens in monday. The whiffing issues of speedbag NEED to be solved. If not, that damage buff he is getting on it will be quite pointless.

the beta grappling system is total braindead, its just like 50/50 but worse

Okay thanks guys

I probably should not of asked as it's not meant to be released yet

Sorry Tim

 

[TheIrishFGCguy]

Don't really think HQT needed a damage nerf but oh well. His zoning overall remains intact and that's all that matters so I'm content.

Didn't they say from command grabs, it will connect on hit only if you ex hit and on block it will connect normally? Did I hear it wrong? Do you have to spend a bar for it to connect on block to?

You can jump or backdash from a tick grab. So no, its not brain dead. I'm speaking on behalf of Kano grabs not Kotal or Errons.

 

[WATCHD0G]

not a fan tbh

I can respect that....not everyone will agree with it but it is something that has bothered me for the longest time

 

[StiggyWiggs]

We did it guys! All the Tanya bitching finally paid off.

I'm more upset about hit confrim then I'm forced to EX my grabs. I like where its currently at if I hitting you then why I'm force to EX? I hope tick throws are still in cause B1 had its own mind game. Will I grab you or choke you? If you jump my choke will catch you, if you backdash my kanoball will hit you. Stuff like that!

 

[thlityoursloat]

They made B122 easier but kept its god awful scaling?
Did anyone ask for this? -_-

Ronin BOYZ

Ronin BOYZ

Lol you going full steam ahead with this huh?

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

I like how they nerfed Mileena's B12. Honestly I was expecting B1 to become a high or some other stuff.


Also the fact that Ronin barely got touched is music to my ears. I called it! People were too busy crying about Mileena and F/T.

Yeah she be still able to use it like she did before but hopefully can't abuse as much in touching distance.

Yep Ronins OH nerf doesn't mean shit I barely use it in neutral

I've pretty much mained Kotal since the last couple weeks of the ESL, I just don't want to put War God or Sun God as my tag since I play both equally.

But yeah, i'm dropping Lao for Ronin. Plus frame boyz.

 

[Arzumis]

The ronin army will grow

Yeah I picked him up just to show people how dumb he is but ended up liking him enough to pocket him he's still dumb

I play him a very weird way though lol

 

[DarksydeDash]

Has anyone got the entire patch notes? I know they didn't cover a lot of the overall changes.
