Some of you guys are overreacting, the patch notes wasn't even that detailed at all, wait for the patch notes, and if your character really didn't got nothing then you're allowed to go apeshit if you feel like it.
I for once, will stay away of character changes until I see the patch notes for more detail, right now I'm really excited about the general changes Mk XL will bring to us.
The fact that normals do less chip and build way less meter it's already a win, this in combination with new breaker mechanic, will pay back to who preserves his meter mostly for other uses, so thank god, and Paulo there are no longer huge meter builds, random breaks and people building up meter like water.
This also means, dumb characters that could continuously apply pressure and get refills won't be doing that for a while, which gives you more room to breath and turns the game less on a one sided game.
Either you preserve your meter for better use, or break but play carefully to not get caught onto something.
Jump attacks are MORE negative on whiff, this makes trip guards far more evident than they already are, air games are far more a risk and now ppl that likes to avoid attacks and punish won't be taken lightly.
NjP and NjK are all very punishable on they way up, makes perfect sense, it's a panic button so you reading that SHOULD reward you with a clean punishment.
There is a punish indicator in game, if you hit someone on their recovery frames the hit spark flashes red instead of the usually white, this will help to identify what can be punished by what in a single glare, and we will see a who among us has a very clean game, or if is just a masher.
Is the game still a 50-50 fest? I'm not sure, we will have to play to find out.
Otg now scales damage, this one I didn't got that right, but I'm assuming it has to do with characters that can continuously hit you with 50-50s in the corner as sonya, so her hitting you in the corner with her bullshit will scale more damage, not sure, but that is the only sense I can come up with now.
Hitbox on characters have been expanded, hopefully this means no longer hat trick will have to struggle to apply pressure to anyone I the cast that is not kotal Kahn.
I'm just salty because it seems the gravity issue of hcb having different heights making it inconsistent has a possibility of still be in the game, which is surely unacceptable, but also touched cause I can now combo and use away trap at will because a right read will give me an extendable combo. That you Paulo, game looks amazing and this week is to me just like the final week of 2015 when MKX was no the final countdown to launch, is taking forever.
And the tip of the cake, online will be better, Mk has finally sparked my interest to pay for online, and will do exactly that so I can finally play my fellow tym brethren, hopefully get to play some pros and devs as well.
