Finally a Geras nerf that might actually have some impact. Good changes on Johnny and Jacqui too.

Can't believe they're still buffing Kotal and Kitana. Like holy shit, how many buffs do you need to start winning, damn. Not even Raiden mains perform that bad lmao

 

with this patch and its adjustments, why couldn't they just give Frost-byte's BF4-amp easier KB requirements? Give this girl some damage, please.

Kitana didn't get buffs. Her 2 less good variations did. Big difference. Also since you mentioned Geras, it's the exact same situation. He keeps getting nerfs and people are still getting carried by him. Maybe this will be enough.

 

Geras's dash distance needed to be nerfed but Kotal's distance is fine?

I swear, I think they pull buffs/nerfs out of a hat and just go from there. I do not understand their decision making at all.

 

Bro Buluc Kotal is kind of nice now i think. I'm interested to see what the hit animation on heavy blade is like now because that move was useless.

 

Calm down man.

When you get sad, just remember you are not a Shao Kahn's player.

Just Like Shao Kahn, Skarlet is not even in the game at this point.

i could understand the reason of slower recovery on sand traps but this doesn't makes sense bro. Agreed.

Why would Kotal Kahn dashes be nerfed? Unlike Geras, he has no access to low sand trap and stone clone to zone, anti-zone, and run away.

 

can someone enlighten me what 2in1 cancelling is?

i didn't mentioned that Kotal needs to be nerfed. You made up. i am saying if the dash distances like Geras's are problem, why Kotal staying the same. Also do not underestimate forward dash into f24 string.

 

This is a huge patch. People who don’t understand the game won’t get how big this is. But people who know the meta know.

 

can someone enlighten me what 2in1 cancelling is?

From EventHubs: "buffering, Cancel, Canceling, Cancelable, Super Cancel, 2-in-1: These mean to cancel the animation of one move to go into another. If something is, "cancelable," that means you can interrupt the animation of this move with another with some form of command. The most popular cancel is a normal move into a special move.."

 

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.

Have you tested this out online yet?!

I know what cancelling is but that 2in1 I don’t get at all. what does that mean? Like the Kotal Kahn buff for S4. does that mean S4 is now cancellable and wasn’t before?

sorry for probably asking a stupid question lol

You can cancel his s4 into specials, yes.

thank you, I was confused af

damn nrs why not just say „s4 is now cancelable“ xD

Geras's dash distances in combination with the low sand trap and stone clone may be a "problem". Kotal Kahn has no low sand trap and no stone clone so his dash distances remained the same. This concept is no rocket science and I fail to see why it is difficult to understand.

 

Lmao, half the damn list is dedicated to Kitana, meanwhile Shao and Skarlet get a dick in the butt.

Who authorized this?

 

how do i do custom reversals and get-ups?

Oh, that's cool. If s4 on block into totem is safe then Buluc is probably as good as Ascension now. Possibly better.
