You guys know devs don't like to be insulted right, like just being a fatalist dick doesn't make anyone work harder or take you seriously

This is outrageous i've never heard of such a thing

 

Health nerfs are really stupid. It just a simple cop out for saying we don't want to fix/change things and the easiest way out is to reduce HP.

Everyone should have the same base health period. +/-50 for kameos is OK. But imagine Quan Chi/Mavado going against Shao/Tremor. That's a 40% health difference.

And what is shao-tremor gonna do against quan?
Balancing health is also balancing, like it or not.

Yeah but it's a really weak form of balancing imo, the character's tools are unchanged but there is slightly more risk to them and that's it, and i'd be fine with that if the health changes weren't so minimal

Take for example Chipp Zannuff from Guilty Gear, a really strong rushdown character who can run a train on you with the right read but if you get the right read on him then he's goofed because he has

• The 2nd lowest health in the game
• The highest defense modifier
• The 2nd highest GUTS Rating
• And at one point in Strive he was the lightest character in the game, meaning characters could do even higher damage combos on him, but weight classes got removed a few months ago

This makes Chipp the character with the lowest effective health in the game, nearly half of what the average has meaning even the smallest mistakes can cost the round for him and yet he's still a high tier character

MK health changes are miniscule compared to this, if Johnny was a Chipp level Glass Cannon instead of having a single poke's worth of health difference then i could at least understand why his options are so safe while his damage is so high
