Mortal Kombat X Patch Notes 7/2/15

[Method]

Even if pre-patch Tanya was fine (debatable), NRS can't risk another CEO style Tanyapocalypse at Evo. Maybe players would have figured out the MU, maybe not, but NRS isn't gonna chance it and I can't really blame them. If it weren't for Evo looming, it's likely they would have let it rock for at least another month or two.

Again


U play Cassie

I am not talking about winning or losing. I know Cassie is top tier. I like having fun when I play. I am not the type of person that automatically has fun if he wins. I have fun when a game is enjoyable to play. A fighting game with skewered risk/reward is just not fun to me. Maybe I'll come back to MKX but right now all this game does is get me mad.

 

[Northern Slasher]

But seriously how the fuck is the fact it takes me 5 minutes to get through "Connecting to Online" still exist?! Such an annoying piece of shit this game can be.

 

[Eldriken]

all this game does is get me mad.

Same here, which is why I don't play it too often. I play it on occasion, but only when I'm really bored or just want to have fun with Jacqui.

 

[SEV]

Well I'll certainly keep using him haha just because dash cancels just aren't my thing, I appreciate the chill responses also, very civil convo. I'm curious why you think the meterless damage is gone though? Let's say you got a hard knock down or are full screen and you activate regular SF, aren't you in an advantageous position to get that nice damage still? Make a a good read or wiff punish and there's your 35% and up combo. If you have SF active full screen no one is gonna sit back and eat those fire balls so then you have someone coming to you which is more or less in your favor

Well you never want to cancel your last WP in a combo because you want the +56 restand. Before you could get either 33% from F44 WP SF F44 WP, or 28% from F44 SF F44 WP. Now you can only get 21% from F44 WP. But the flip side of the coin is that the 28% and 33% combos, that are now his new one bar BnB's, are some what low for metered damage.

The variation thrives at being mid to close range and your combos leave them standing so the scenario of FF Liu continuously chucking fireballs full screen isn't really a plausible reality unless you're playing a character that's trying to keep you out, in which case the pressure and mid fireball from DF would most likely be more beneficial.

The damage bonus on the fireballs acts similarly to EB's caltrops in the sense that it's small enough to be irrelevant unless if you're already on death's door, but could cause lesser skilled players to do something stupid.

 

[RunwayMafia]

Hmmmm...in the lab now. After a teleport she just stands there with her back to the opponent...ugh

 

[Hurleyguy2152]

Sweet! Tanya will still be good, just not dragon Ball z good anymore lol more diversity in characters in top 8 hopefully! Evo is gonna be hype as fuck! Since nobody else has said it, I guess I will.. THANK YOU NRS FOR CLASSIC ERMAC!!

Hmm good points. Ill stick with FF but I really should get down DF as well

 

[Groove Heaven]

No Erron nerfs

 

[MadeFromMetal]

I need to save this explanation in Notepad or something...

It's not 6GB, that's just the overall size of the patch file. If you notice, it doesn't start off at 0GB/6GB, it starts a lot closer to it than that. Most of the patches are 1-3GB at most.

You know...you'd think you wouldn't need to say this every time, but sadly, you do. (Have we done this before?)

 

[getoverhere--->]

you may aswell take away Kung jins bow when doing njps, and his dive kick, which Kung Lao already has.

Yes please do

 

[Jason Clark]

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this or pointed it out, but Jax, Johnny, Kitana, Kung Lao, Mileena, Scorpion, Sonya and Sub-Zero all have a third fatality locked.

 

[Matador Fiend]

Its good that they are trying so hard to make kitana viable and that they pulled shinnok from the bottom, but why the fuck are they making no effort to pull Goro out of the damned toilet?

 

[looktotheluna]

And they keep nerfing my chars. Tempest Lao you will be missed. Never allowed to live .

Orbiting hat is +12 on block now. Nothing wrong with that at all.

 

[Eldriken]

You know...you'd think you wouldn't need to say this every time, but sadly, you do. (Have we done this before?)

It's like Deja Vu. lololol

 

[Northern Slasher]

Yeah I'm done with this game. Aside from waiting more than I play because every fucking scrub on this game leaves after 1 win or loss, I honestly don't even care that I won.

All that means is that I guessed better than he did on heads or tails.

 

[DevilMaySpy]

No wonder I've been seeing *censored* playing Batman on PS4 for the past week

You just gave everyone here my real name. =O

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

LOOOOL still no news of X1 loading screen bugs.

Ya I'm done hoping for fixes to that.

 

[tylerlansdown]

Changed a few things on the patch notes page. Hat dance should actually read Orbiting hat. Deep Stab should read Grab-N-Stab.

Sorry. Carry on.

 

[Bombardier777]

What are the silent nerfs/buffs?

 

[Johnny San]

This is the only patch where Mileena hasn't received a direct buff. That's the important thing to take away from these notes.

 

[infamy23]

Couple quick things about the Tanya nerfs.

Her big combos in Naginata have taken about a 3% reduction. Smaller combos are the same or 1% less.

I can NjP her teleport on reaction regardless of the timing. I was always able to do this, but before the nerf, I had to actually wait for her to come out of it, now I can just NjP basically whenever I want and I'll get a full combo.

If I fail to react to the teleport, and I end up blocking a NjP, or a Ji2, I get free pressure on her because she is negative when she lands. So her reward for successfully jumping in on you is that you get to pressure her. Pretty much the exact opposite of how jump-ins work in every fighting game ever made

If I guess WRONG on her wakeup that she will armor, and she does EX teleport instead to get out of the corner, I can run and punish her for 38% because of the new landing frames. So my reward for guessing WRONG is a 38% combo and she is still in the corner.

 

[Braindead]

You just gave everyone here my real name. =O

'sup Kev.

 

[looktotheluna]

It looks like that's what it takes to get buffs/nerfs now a days lol. You see all the Devorah players complaining about 1 frame links, they make her links easier. People complain the most about Lao Tanya Shinnok, they're the ones who get nerfed.

I didn't wanna believe it, but it actually seems true. Fuck I should be complaining about Goro way more, I want my Shokan to not lose to every other character in the cast lmao

It does look that way I know and is getting rather stupid now.
