Froggy Knee (Back Punch, Front Kick) and Kneet Trick (Towards + Back Punch, Front Kick) now move slightly further and have a larger hit region when opponent is in a combo

Devastating Blow (Away + Back Punch) fully charged now starts up 3 frames faster and recovers 3 frames faster

This is honestly big for Reptile.

*Acid Spit Ball is a new Special Move performed by holding (Front Punch) during Acid Spit or Enhanced Acid Spit
(Air) Falling Fangs & Enhanced (Air) Falling Fangs can now be cancelled by holding Down
Enhanced Invisibility now becomes fully invisible about 2 seconds faster*

This is just crazy, full screen projectile. Sub-Zero or Scorpion Kameo is gonna go crazy.
 
50/50 in my opinion.

Some nice buffs for Rain and Reptile.

Too many nerfs for Peacemaker and Raiden, particularly Raiden.

Typical NRS patch. Nothing special.
I think the Raiden nerfs get overshadowed by Stormcell having less block pushback before the final hit and the extra recovery being so minimal that a Kameo can still cover for it, mainly Kano Ball
The only Peacemaker nerf i think was too much is making Force Field only absorb 2 hits, 3 or 4 + some cooldown would've been fine

The main thing i'm mad about is how little there is outside of 4 Characters and 1 Kameo, i don't think everyone needs like massive buffs/nerfs or anything just changes to spice them up, hell even Scorpion who was one of the showcased characters on Twitter as getting big changes only got a single new string that fixes only 1 of his issues
Edit: The new Scorpion move don't even fix this damn issue, can only cancel into BF2 and has a gap

Raiden and Peacemaker got well deserved nerfs and I will die on that hill. You can still make stormcell safe with kano, or do superman whiff into kano knives, but now there are no guaranteed knockdown into stormcell chip death, nor jump into stormcell, get caught and die. Nice.

Rain and Reptile got nice buffs. Still early to say how much those will help them though.
 
Was expecting a lot more balancing, but at least there were more than a couple of characters changed this time around. And was expecting more buffs for Scorpion, ah well
 
They actually gave Sub-Zero nothing... lmao
Maaaaybe the hell blades kameo change on scrop will open up his kameo options a bit...but uh. Yeah. Not thrilled enough by all this to lug my computer out of storage. Looks like i'll be waiting until June to play again.
 
I really wish they'd buff the universal D2 "krushing blow." I've never seen ANYONE use it. Feels like a cool idea that will never be implemented because it's too expensive on meter.
It's the lack of changes like this that make me feel so despondent about the game. This is a SYSTEM MECHANIC that sees no use, and would likely give a lot of much needed depth to the roster and the gameplay, but months in and they've done nothing for it.

I get that a system mechanic change can feel dicey because you might not catch something and make everything worse, but at the same time fucking hell if we can't get D2 MB to matter, what's the hope for the reams of other useless moves? It's extra awful when it's a kameo (looking at you goro), because all the supposed "depth" they're bringing becomes one stupid trick.
 
I don't get it, to turn on crossplay, I have to own and link the trash mobile game?
What? ...
And another season with trash color schemes, like what is this raiden yellow green skin?
Is this the season of raiden? As good as mileena ... TRASH!

The Shao skin is nice tho

Afaik you dont need to have mobile game, just making a WB account and logging inside the game should be enough.
 
I thought I have linked it, my bad. (do it later) The picture looked like it. But still, to be force to create an account and link it, is kinda wack. Like, I can really see how casuals don't do it at all and miss out on a bigger pool. Guess T8 spoiled me, you just turn it on and done.

Speaking of T8, man please NRS, with the story addon, revamp the online gameflow.
Let me use practice mode and mash buttons, while searching for online ranked games.

(T8 made MK1 dust, not gonna lie here ... still love to unlock all brutals with everyone xD
Shao still misses his 5th brutal I guess? ... I wonder if they add secret brutals with main fighter patches, like omnis hold L2+R2 and d,d,d (f41throw) one is really nice and hidden.)

Back to topic, Ermac looks really cool, good job NRS
 
50/50 in my opinion.

Some nice buffs for Rain and Reptile.

Too many nerfs for Peacemaker and Raiden, particularly Raiden.

Typical NRS patch. Nothing special.
Raiden has a safe full screen tp, decent zoning, amazing pokes, amazing ability to convert, amazing whiff punishes, amazing chip, and amazing damage. If he plays full screen you have to play his game, then if he switches to playing footsies you still have to play his game. And he can switch back and forth as much as he wants.

And maybe worst of all, none of this is locked behind high execution mechanics, it's literally day 1 stuff that's being used from lowest rungs of ladder through pro play.

How do you look at that and go "yep this is a character kit that should be top 3"? No way fam, these nerfs are long overdue.
 
the lao kameo changes seem .... sus


I don't know why this was changed. It seemed pretty apparent that if it was out and you landed on it, there should be some positive reaction for whoever was doing it
