Mortal Kombat X Patch Notes 6/23/15

ZeZe

The smart stuff!
With almost every character adjusted, Reptile will soon have company. In this game if everybody gets adjusted and your character stays in place it's as if he regressed. Sub so far got only nerfed which impacted negatively his clone plus last 2 patches Cryo and Unbreakable were completely ignored.

As long as there are future patches though there's still hope for all characters that are lacking; the number of which diminishes, which is good.

Can confirm Fisticuffs is now useless. You can back dash and armor out WAY easier. Glad I'm a Stunt Double main.
Yes, that string was what made special that variation. Now he has nothing but a too risky-low reward pressure. Hope nrs guys change their minds in the next patch. They have been too much severe with fisticuffs, which is now bottom tier for sure.

pretty sure the fisticuffs nerfs were because they were worried it would make the game look stupid at evo

and before anyone mentions 50/50s, that shit is nowhere NEAR as obvious to a viewer who doesn't know the game

honestly it was going to be his worst variation long-term anyway, this just makes yall do what you should be doing now anyway

overall this looks like a heck of a job to me...raiden/dvorah/erron seem like they got nerfed the right amount relative to the other top characters, kano & ermac finally get noticed, etc. would still be a bit concerned about goro & ferra/torr + *maybe* reptile, more so than sub since he has a more solid base design.

It was now the worst variation indeed. But at least it had points where it shined, and was a different, more pressure oriented way to play Johnny. I think if someone thinks it was stupid, would be completely wrong. Speedbag had its risks too. Not as much as it has now, ok, but it had. Now against some characters it's almost a suicide to try to pressure with that string.

It's sad that nrs took too much into account comments of people who cried after seeing djt's performance.
That a player manages to use properly and efficiently a character doesn't mean the character needs a nerf.

Do you have an obsession with Tom? Literally like every other post from you you're talking shit about him
Apparently disliking someone because they are a hypocrite with the mentality of a child is tantamount to obsession. The only time I ever mention Tom Brady is when I see him whinging (which happens frequently, believe it or not).

Now, I suggest that you try not to be such an obsequious drone. Are you aware that Tom Brady is capable of speaking for and/or defending himself? I don't need his army of rabid dogs jumping down my throat every time they hear someone voice their opinion regarding their precious overlord.

You are a tool.

Didn't accuse anyone (it's a fact), just seeing all subzero crying while the char is still better than 3/4 of the cast and very easy to play. Erron Black got nerf, he has gunslinger variation completly useless, and we are not making that much noise. It was a question. I imagin all sz players using Torr, that would be bad for their heart.
We have one variation that's better than 3/4 of the cast. Cryomancer is expensive and lacks meaninful tools and Unbreakable is officially both unviable and obsolete.

Sub-Zero mains are quite easily the most irritating and obnoxious bunch (which isn't that surprising if you look at Tom Brady). You'd think that Sub-Zero was bottom 5 by the amount whining and complaining you see...
We were ignored. Completely. We're still stuck with 1/3 of a character who's mid tier At best with a tool that can be disrespected. We have 1/3 of a character with an inexplicably awful move with low utility, which is clearly either filler or unfinished. Lastly we have 1/3 of a character who has been both ignored and inadvertantly rendered obsolete.

Is Subby bottom 5? Of course not. But he needs attention or soon Unbreakable will be. People like you seem to get off on bashing the Sub community. Just because you don't care about the character doesn't mean anytime well reasoned points are aargued that we're suddenly scum of the earth.
 
This post accurately demonstrates your lack of intelligence.
You fancy words clearly indicate that you are highly intelligent. A grasp of the English language is obviously the only indicator of ones IQ.
Now, if you could only combine that with some social awareness, then you may be able to have someone actually take what you are saying seriously.
Keep ripping on Tom Brady. It obviously shows that you are jealous.
