So are thoughts about Ninjitsu still the same but just different damage?
Ive always loved his armor breaker and now i get to play Leonardo with Scorpion. Legit

I'm having a lot of fun with ninjutsu now. His ninjutsu strings are actually worth using now, before they were garbage. Seriously. I might make the switch, but to be clear I haven't lost any love for hellfire.

Well theres really no reason too. Noonr wants to see scorpion weak again or get the injustice treatment. But noone wants a 2 hitter quitter in a game, with vortex to mention, either.
Seems like theres still solid options and cool damage. Nothing to complain about and thats why i stopped playing Scorpion for a while cause all the hate.
Cant wait for your videos man. You must be busy or something. Pretty excited to see Ninjitsu rise. Any frame changes in that variation?
And also i cant find any of your match videos

Stealth frame changes to be sure. I'm fairly certain b32f2 used to be negative on hit. It's now +10. I think b2 and f2 might be safer now? b2 seems to scale less too. Can't sure about that. Can't sure about a lot of things.

I'm on my ps4 right now, and it's definitely a +10 hard knockdown. It's making for a good measuring tool as well.

after b32f2 in the corner, I was able to stuff tempest KL's EX cyclone (7f startup) with b4 (13f startup). The +10 reduces the b4 to a 3f startup, and that means that the first and second hit of b4 come out within 4 frames of each other.

Omg i gotta learn how frames work in this game. I felt like i was back in Algebra 2 for a minute. Need formulas

It's...more like basic math. Kung Lao is at -10, and he does a 7f armored move, which means it takes 17 frames for him to attack.

b4 hits him on the 13th and 16th frame, breaking his armor and stuffing his attack.

See why stealth nerfs? I'd rather they just outright say what they hell they did, instead of unexpectedly finding out.

Sometimes there is stealth buffs.
Cant wait until @Triplswing discovers what good came for Ninjitsu besides the obvious damage. Dont know any Ninjitsu mains. @OutworldKeith i believe
Click to expand...
But I don't know why though?

I personally feel it is disrespectful to just stealth nerf thing without notifying people.
Just keep it 100 and give it to me straight up.

But it is what it is. I'm still going to use Hellfire, and maybe Ninjitsu. Never Inferno. I grew up from that a long time ago

Is 2,1,4 xx FBC still positive on block? How have the combos been affected? Is Ninjutsu a serious threat now?
Click to expand...

It is still positive but any follow up can be armored it feels like. Maybe a perfect FBRC into a d1 jails at best.

Pretty much he has to replace his second set of 214 with a 123 now in combos because ex tele will whiff doing the 214. So he loses a few percent in some cases.

Ninjitsu is legit now I think yes.

No, it's taken out. You'll have to develop a better mindgame scheme with B3, 21, 11, 21 FBC, stuff like that now. They've also taken out 214 tele 214 Extele combos for all variations. So now, you'll have to get used to using 214 > 21 ExTele or 214 > 123 xxExTelexx for BNBs that require 1 bar of meter

He's still fine, though. The only thing that I disliked was them taking out 214 tele > 214 Extele combos in all variations.

Youre the Ninjitsu main correct? Hows it so far? Ive been at work all day.
Click to expand...
Yep! Day 1 main.

Ninjutsu's biggest weakness was the damage output. With the damage buff he's perfect. He still has great anti-armor moves, anti-air, great space control, etc.

We just need to slightly adjust his BnBs.

Wow, +10? That is a game changer for sure. I played ninjitsu at launch but switched to inferno/hellfire like most scorpion players. Gonna have to pick ninjitsu back up now. I still like inferno just for the 50/50 vortex into full combo or throw, and it isn't as bad if you condition your opponent to block high with f2, f4 and overhead demon. The armor stuffing ability and space control of ninjitsu is almost too good to pass up now that the damage has caught up.

Looks like Inferno's damage has been nerfed. I believe there is extra scaling on his low minion grab. :( Looks like Scorp will be a 2 variation character after all.
