MKXL (XXXL?) Oct. '16 Balance Patch Changes Reaction and Predictions Thread

[CaptainCM]

They didn't mention any specific SD Cage nerfs, did they? He seems to be a contender for one of the best, unless patch notes state otherwise.

 

[ProudDisciple]

This should wait until the notes are posted so we have more info to base our discussion off of. =P

I tuned in just in time to only see the belt match

 

[Aramonde]

They didn't talk about fixing sky drop. I like the 2 hit armour on stab but what about the other two variations?

 

[Tanno]

No what is going to happen is on hit, you can either do the F42T and side switch, or cancel f42 like you always can into the cmd grab and do the same like you used to in cryo. Its a good buff

Well, I'll see about it in the lab. I won't know if it will connect with the other special attacks.

Where sub at though?

The whole point of variations is in full effect now. If you want two hits of armor, pick Warlock. Pick the other two variations for different reasons.

No KP3
No new Arenas
No new Stage Fatalities
No new Brutalities
No new costumes

We're shown but there is still hope

Which was stupid to even have. These guys are a bunch of amateurs. "Balance patch stream!!!"...instead it was half assed like everything else NRS does. But they definitely had time for a boring "belt match" while leaving a bunch of characters unexplained. Ugh. But I guess I should just be happy to even get another patch from these dudes.

Nah man that command grab into combo on top of those 50/50s make him top3 at the very least. In your list I'd say he should take Kano's place.

Love the positivity!

Exactly stop complaining. MKX could have been Left behind in favor of Injustice. Grow up

 

[Renzokuken]

I don't know whether to be optimistic or not about Paulo saying that this patch brings all of Kung Jin's variations more on an even level with each other.

 

[shaowebb]

Bo Rai Cho's movement is greatly improved and he can nullify projectiles with either his staff spin or flame thingy. Thing is though neither of the projectile stuff moves push him toward opponents and stamina costs on run startup and run punishes are massively higher making dash tactics much riskier as it costs you breaker options. The flame looks like you may be able to just chuck it out there for whatever reason safely enough but I dont think he's above mid tier in this new environment if that unless his frame changes and hitboxes are a bit better than the stream led to believe.


So far the best buffs IMO are how many safe tools they gave Kitana and Kenshi alongside of Dualist Liu Kang projectile buffs. Just solid as hell looking tools on those. I honestly feel the Dvorah armor is an advantageous tradeoff of tools IMO. Helps her wakeup.

 

[Tanno]

I'm reading the notes. Wow, they nerfed as fuck Alien. lol

They fixed Alien's sky drop drone bug.

 

[SM StarGazer]

• Kitana (Mournful) - Staff Smash & Eclipse Kick now have 2 hits of armor
• Kitana (Mournful) - Increased glaive projectile damage by 1

Y'all are fucked.

 

[shaowebb]

Patch notes are up now!

Basically you are just latching on to papa NRSs sack. These guys are jokes at everything they do. NRS has to get more professional as a team, but you would never believe it on TYM unless a top player is pissed for a day.

 

[Perdition]

It is not the positivity you want, but you have to know somewhere inside that cutting a balance patch stream short for lame matches is a bit stupid. Some people tuned in for an hour to hear changes relevant to them, but instead got bad gameplay.

 

[Wowbiggulps]

Relentless Jason blood mist has 3 hits of armor now

Sounds like Lord Paulo needed somebody's character. And no I'm not rising sacks. MRS could have EASILY left MIX as is. Be happen we even got five minutes of talk time. Stop complaining about every single thing. The patch notes are up and tomorrow you'll be enjoying a new MKX. Be happy my dude

 

[shaowebb]

Tremor - Towards+BP now has 26 startup frames (down from 30), is +2 on block (up from -6), and has 11 less miss recovery frames
Tremor - Towards+BK is now +6 on block (up from -14) and now hits high
Tremor (Metallic) - Magma Blast now has 2 hits of armor
Tremor (Crystalline) - Krystal Blast no longer has armor

You have my full attention there Tremor.

I will stop, bro. Just a bit frustrated that I was managing to watch this at work(with chance of being caught, hahah) and they did not even mention my characters. If that was going to be the case, I would have skipped the stream and waited for notes. Cutting the balance talk short for a balance talk stream for two non pro players....that is as insulting as it gets for the small base of fans who went out of their way to watch.

If they get all positive feedback, nothing will change. And NRS needs a change in style.

 

[SM StarGazer]

But you got to see changes in motion. Could have been worse
