[RUMOR \ LEAK] Patch notes posted on MK11 Discord. Next patch is 9th August

[RoboCop]

Based on NRS’s track record so far, I wouldn’t be surprised if these were the literal word-for-word patch notes, spelling and all! Legit, if NRS’s community manager didn’t know how to spell Cetrion, would anyone actually be surprised?

 

[deathstroke187]

also Geras sand trap now mid and -5 on block ??? minus 5??? wtf..

 

[Evil Canadian]

Kotal buffs isn't 3 pages long so obviously fake

 

[Ray'sGoodLiquor]

RIP Kabal. My heart hurts.

 

[Swindle]

[sub_on_dubs]

she needs it

 

[Daemantalo]

The way this is written smells like a 4chan leak lol.

 

[AroundTheCorner]

Fake news. And if it isn't, terrible news. Jacqui needs no nerfs, nobody does, but she barely has enough shit to stay above water.

 

[Trini_Bwoi]

oh, Kabal's B1 isn't already a high?

 

[Under_The_Mayo]

Man, dvorah F1 being a mid would be a game changer.

 

[NothingPersonal]

The leaks have started, fake or not, means the patch is coming. I'm hype.

 

[BarakaTile]

Jacqui's dash punch is mid now

Why? It has no business to be a mid.

 

[FoughtDragon01]

'Fixed multiple hitbox issues within game'

[just_2swift]

I'm still waiting for cyborg buffs. But in the meantime BUFF lao

This is so fake it hurts.

1: I don't see Kabal being touched literally at all in the first patch except for MAYBE some slight damage scaling adjustments at most.
2: Sonya only getting away with damage scaling changes seems silly.
3: Shang's Corpse Drop being two overheads is also silly.
4: The entire list of Jacqui changes is utter horseshit. As much as she infuriates me to fight, there's no way they're going to make her cancels require defensive bar. At most they'll make them have larger gaps. I'm not even going to humor the dash punch change with a comment.
5: Cetrion's boulders are already slow on the wind up. That's not where Cetrion's power comes from and I don't see NRS nerfing random shit like that.
6: Rereading the Skarlet change makes my IQ drop on every attempt

All that conjecture aside, the general wording usage doesn't line up with NRS' typical patch style, the formatting is all over the place, and the misspellings and grammatical nonsense stand out badly. I get the story is supposed to be "Hey, I got access to something I wasn't supposed to so I wrote as much down as I could," but this doesn't even look like enough effort was put into it for that scenario.

In conclusion: yawwwwwwwwwn

 

[RM Ree]

Thank goodness for Sub-Zero changes. As it is, it’s hard to find a use Thin Ice db4

Because it doesn’t friggin’ exist

 

[LawAbidingCitizen]

Well let's humor this, every single buff/nerf was misplaced. Nothing that needed it got changed and the important stuff wasn't even mentioned or explained: Hitboxes, Fatal Blows, KB Requirements, Meter Regen ect.
This might be legit, I can see NRS F-ing shit up like that again.

But most of it is so laughable the author is clearly out of touch with the game. First question was, did they copy it down wrong? Was it all typos? Even NRS isn't that bad at patching right?

 

[Samsara]

Why would they give Jacqui a fast advancing mid that is -6?

Cant be real.

 

[Eonfuzz]

Why would they give Jacqui a fast advancing mid that is -6?

Cant be real.

Because according to the leak she'd be losing easy cancels (They require defensive bar now)

 

[NothingPersonal]

If Shao's f2 will be a mid and his buff will be faster, the dude's gonna be legit. I'd like to see more options on his f3 string though, since I'm playing more pressure Shao. Better stagger, safer, cancelable. Also more universal kb's.

 

[LawAbidingCitizen]

Because according to the leak she'd be losing easy cancels (They require defensive bar now)

Cancels are not what makes her good. The cancel is more negative than just staggering F3/F31/F12 which are all -2 on block.

Making her cancels cost meter would literally do nothing to hurt her. The mains would only have to lab up muscle memory with staggers instead of pressing LT(easier) and its saying she gets a lightning fast high dashpunch changed to a mid that's -6 on block? Yeah fucking right. They would have to be off their meds to give Jacqui a buff that absurd.

 

[freerf245]

Fake af

 

[theotherguy]

means the patch is coming.

I don't think it should be a surprise to anyone that a patch is coming and just after EVO. That was what pretty much everyone was expecting.

 

[GLoRToR]

Fake shit
