This is a low key buff for us Noob players lmao.

I am so fucking happy right now.

Also: bye, Jumpin' Jacqui. Have a nice life.

For a small patch, there's a lot of good stuff in here. Still a long way to go, but this is a VERY promising sign of things to come.

 

Most important change! Jade's staff now glows purple with klassic skins!

She won once again!

 

Ah lads wtf is this 7.5 GB patch for a couple of frame adjustments lol the timer just keeps going up! I have work tomoro

 

Well then.

ALSO, lol @ Geras getting nerfed again. Like... why?

I believe that was meant to target eternal Geras, to be honest, If you have no mobility and lost the life lead, you are screwed.

 

Big change to the meta here is defense was buffed. You now have more frames to press your button outta block. Makes mashing on defense better. And mashing in staggers are basically nerfed

 

Sindel's Perfected Thorned Armour augment is now broken following this patch, "opponents that strike you receive 30 damage"... not anymore they don't!

How do I report this?

 

Damn I really hope this comes to PC in a day or 2 like the last patch did.

 

It blows my mind how they always try to butf Kitana yet Scorpion is bottom five and they think he is fine

It's almost like Kitana's base kit is mediocre and only works decently due to one variation with a huge crutch move while the other two variations suffered.

These were less "Kitana buffs" and more "Fan-fare / Fearless buffs."

 

Kotal top now 4 into db4

Yet Skarlet, who needs changes infinitely more than Kitana does at this point, gets 2% extra damage on her b2 which no one ever uses. I'd love to know what the thought process behind this was.

You answered it yourself. So you use it more.

If Spawn is in this patch (and just not unlocked, of course), then I expect us PC players will need to wait until next week. If not, we might be good!

 

I just got mauled by @Mr Aquaman. Dude's good enough to mop my ass regardless, but that change to s4 is insane. It's not why he won, obviously. But being able to do s4~db4 on block in Buluc while staying safe is nutty. lol

What about on hit, what happens? the old s4 sent you flying.

What? What do you mean?

 

lol, Raiden

His s4 on hit by itself now launches you for a combo. You can AA off of it and convert as well.

You can probably do s4~db4 safely on hit. Maybe, anyway. He only dabbled in the lab shortly before proceeding to kick my teeth in. Shit was actually embarrassing.

It must be. 7GB sounds a lot for those changes only.

 

Gotta get a close look at these lab features.

Kitana seems like she got quite an adjustment. Hope it works out to be just right. Let everyone stop playing HB when next to nobody wants to be.

 

This is off topic but i am thinking what happened to all those "Jacqui is fine go practice and learn" arguments now?

Like the same Ex-Liu Kang pre patch players that said the same thing before his F4 was adjusted, I don't see them anymore.

Only reason I could see it being 7GB is if there's audio changes/additions due to Spawn's inclusion. If it includes all of that, sure. Makes sense. Maybe.

 

We should grind the krypt again. 7gb has to mean something.

 

What? What do you mean?

I dont know how else to explain it

You have more of an input window to get your button out of block now. So for me, for instance, I'd be using noob's b1 after blocking a poke, but shit loads of times get poked out of my b1. Which frame-math doesn't make sense, it's bc I wasn't near frame-perfect with my input of b1. But that window is now bigger. You can buffer it. So I can input my response to the blocked poke much easier.

This applied to any inputs out of block stun. Punishing is now way easier, and poke wars are now easier to stop if you've blocked successfully.

Could be uncompressed audio. Audio/Video files take up the most space in cases like this. Assets usually don't account for much and there's no way there was 7GB worth of assets added.
