Didn't they already nerfed that in the previous patch

Yeah

Yes, this is the second hit her. Another 1-3% across the board it seems

 

Homelander's high execution optimal that does 40% now costs 2 bars of meter to do. I feel like it'd be okay letting him do 2 flies and then the third costs meter. Like let the high execution characters have high reward

 

 

I underestimated how far up close torpedo goes tbh, but thanks Azeez for giving us pointers on how to punish it

Its so tight I'd rather just block, wait for the Khameleon fan lift and punish accordingly.

 

Once again, any Kameo that allows me to remotely do what I want to do with Nitara... gets a health nerf. FFS

 

Buff Havik

 

Buff Havik

Broke: Buff Havik
Woke: Nerf Havik

 

Isn't Peacemaker best kameo is Kano?

What's stopping him for doing Torpedo followed by Kano ball? So you duck the torpedo but then Kano ball comes flying right behind you.

 

See now I can actually use Homelander, because I'm not good enough to do those combos which now cost 2 bars and you shouldn't use them anyway. Did he get nerfed otherwise than that? Like can anyone explain this to me, and explain it to me like I'm 5: "Fixed Jump Attacks during Flight be able to be canceled into Flight on block"


Anyone know the new optimals for Homelander now? Also, RIP my Tanya/Cyrax theorycrafting.

 

Weird that nerfed Janet is nerfed more and buffed Scorpion kameo is left untouched lol

 

The Cyrax "buff" was a glitch?

Peacemaker receives two nerfs while Johnny Cage remains the same character?

Every day this game gets one step closer to being as bad as Mortal Kombat 11.

I am /dead.

Next thing you know, we're going to get a surprise free DLC, and it's going to be MK11 Flying Jacqui. You might as well at this point.

 

Janet catched a stray at the end lol

For real. Lolol

 

Reptile's damage from Acid Ball is good in my book, Now to slip away unnoticed as everybody complains about what the Hotfix didn't do...

The hotfix specifically mentions that the Acid Ball was having incorrect scaling (since the game first came out?), so this is intentional. I have not played the game after the patch, did he get a damage bonus then?

 

Following a dev for 10+ years and still claiming they don't know what they're doing is certainly a strat.

Yeah. They undid his damage nerf. Thank god

I thought the damage nerf was applied to S3 cancels?

Nah, the Homelander release patch lowered all his damage in general

 

Everyone: Nerf Cage!
NRS: Slightly increased combo damage scaling on Hop Punch & Hop Skip Punch

Thank you to being receptive to community feedback NRS.

 

Also, aside from undoing homelander patch stuff, this patch did absolutely fucking nothing, lol. Peacekeeper, kham and janet are all still fine. Borderline unchanged even. Especially Peacekeeper.

And my biggest gripe about Homelander was his over head dive punch combo starter being safe on block if the Homelander player keeps pressing buttons, which is still alive and well. This character is gonna be totally busted as long as he has this, is my prediction. And on the flip side, he'll be nothing without it. This is my hot take, at least

Maybe they keep hearing "Nerf Cage" and they think Janet is the Cage that's being talked about lol

 

While at Final Kombat Ed + Tyler were VERY active in talking to everyone in regards to direct feedback on changes to the game. This revert was almost no surprise but I wouldn't be surprised if you saw Cyrax come back to life + more eventually. This was the most active I had seen them at an event so we will see how things go from here. Hoping something huge comes with a Season 2 of Pro Komp myself. Large seasonal changes/meta's if they plan on committing to the game for a while.

Also sir please tell me someone mentioned adding actual defensive mechanics to the game

 

As I said, NRS is a fucking joke. Didn't touch Johnny Cage at all. They must be jacking off to 57 Cage mirror matches in tournament play. Final Kombat top 8 was disgusting to watch.

Also, great job on giving Sub nothing almost a year later.
