“Working as intended” classic lol

Edit: Wasn’t Shao already top5? Why is he getting buffed?

Kitana got nerfed, but top tiers are staying the same? A joke. :)
Dude, she's gotten so many fucking buffs that it's not even funny. A slight nerf isn't gonna destroy the character.

Now on the subject of the top tiers staying the same: yeah, that's kinda dumb, but what's new about that? lol

I hate this game, bros. I deadass saw that Baraka got that change, and was like, "OH, that's dirty. Maybe I'll re-download to play Baraka."

Bwompbwompbwooooow
I swear sometimes NRS will make a cool change, whether on purpose or not, the feedback of the move is mostly positive, and then they’re like “hold up, y’all are having fun with this? Well that’s just unacceptable, it’ll be removed shortly, thanks!”

it reminds me of when the stance flip/change move finally had a use in I believe Injustice. It had zero recovery so it was great at using it to bait a reaction out of your opponent. But this was deemed to be too strong and was nerfed. Like, consistently one of the most useless moves in the history of NRS games finally has a use, and they’re like “umm, you’re not allowed to actually utilize that move! It’ll be fixed shortly, thanks”

Bizarre

We're not talking about a small nerf. It appears that her damage has been severely nerfed. She didn't need it, she was and is fine. She's an honest character. Don't see why they needed to touch her. Okay, maybe her corner combos? Sure, but overall?

She got buffed, cause she literally had, and still has no sauce compared to the rest of the cast. Literally no mix. Just footsies, and zoning (which isn't the strongest thing in the game). A character relying only on punishing people for their mistakes will never be good enough, when you got top tiers just mashing shit and get rewarded. :)

It's a good thing that Tyler was able to respond to that issue quickly and put out a statement.

Of course, the same people that complain about communication will also complain about them fixing an unintentional thing, because that is what drives likes and updoots.

There are definitely some questionable decisions in terms of certain top tiers not getting adjusted, but I think it's good that Reiko and Baraka got buffed.

Kitana players...well...I don't care about them.

They're just barely above Sub Zero players in the basement dwelling tier of downplayers.
 
is it true sindel was secretly nerfed? haven't checked yet myself but saw an assertion f1 hits high-high-mid now (as well as a 50 hp reduction for her)

I'll go check now. Gimme a minute. Gotta boot up the game.

Edit: it's a high-high-mid. I thought it always was anyway. >.> Was it a high-mid-mid before?

T-1000 is way cool, why does every dlc pairs best with Movado? We need more kameos adjustments.

Why are we buffing Shao and Subzero again?

im pretty sure it was high-mid-mid before, with the gap between the first and second hits being so small that it basically functioned as a mid. this might make it easier to read and punish with neutral ducking now
