No offense at all to Tekken Master, but there are some phenomenal players in our scene who can play, win/place, but aren't good when it comes to things like tier lists and balance changes. Hell im like that too, thats why I stick to playing and reading and not making balance and tier lists.

Im not gonna insult him, but the changes are pretty crazy, i just came back and took a look and literally made the blinking white guy meme face.

I thought alchohol wasn't allowed in the Middle East, Breh...At least I hope TM was drunk when he conveyed these thoughts...There's so much NO in here it isn't even funny
Who said it's not allowed..
you guys think we live in the desert and ride camels
There are more TMs here that don't get to travel, if they could you'd see more evo top 8s like we had between TM and Fox
Middle East is a region ffs with 22 countries.. how about that?!

It's this attitude and alike that drives pros away from posting anything on TYM.
I'd take TM pov over any of us (mid lvl non pro) players any day.
come on, you and him are definitely better than that, so i don't agree with him, does this gives him the right to get butthurt because i said no?
Who said just because he is a "pro" he gets to say things and expect everyone to accept his point of view?
Do you know what country do this? Mine, and yes and we're fucking tired of sheeps and ass lickers who follows everything a person does because they have "credibility".

Pro players aren't any different than us, the only difference is many of them have the opportunity to play in tournaments or have better conditions to do so compared to some of us, if you really feel that bad over me making a joke, i'm sorry, but as long as i'm able to think for myself, i will question every top player in here or any game if i don't agree with their opinion, and that's not a bad thing.

Besides, he already said, that's his opinion, so we don't care everyone has the right to have his own, no one asked for his opinion, but someone posted anyway and asked us what we think, we said "fuck no" and that's our opinion on the matter, lol i have nothing against anyone in here, or tekken master.

I still find hard to believe a guy like him wrote this, but he already admitted he did lol, i'm just saying, no single person in this game knows it all or everything about everything, there is over 70 characters in this game, and there are very few that has players who actually dedicate their time with rare gems, for a guy like TM, i expected him to have balls to hold the opinions and move on since he wrote this, rather than getting butthurt over this which no one really cares, ppl are just ppl.

F21 being -2 is too strong.

It being -7 or 8 is ok. But it isn't his biggest issue. You only need F211 to be hit confirmable and the rest of hsi changes are too much.
Yeah just keep it safe and it's fine. A staggerable mid would be wonders though if the hitbox is left as is.

The rag doll change won't be a very big deal IMO. You'd just have good af hitconfirms from anti airs.

I'm not defending or objecting the proposed changes by the OP, I'm not going into it

I'm critiquing the type of feedback by some

Why the mockery if you can logically give a counter view as well?

Why not pick Relentless over Unstoppable though? I can see why the damage buff is a nice thing to have, but I don't feel like the heal is that great. Picking Relentless for the teleport and input reversal seems like a better idea to me.
Most characters have the same issue actually, it doesn't make the weaker variation bad though.

Think Shinnok, Bone Shaper is really good and Necromancer is completely viable now, yet everyone picks Impostor because Paulo doesn't know how to balance and the variation is busted now.

Learn to make jokes without offending or condescending

So instant air tele is easily reactable in a meta where the match is played at 200 mph
And you should hold a cheap way of breaking any neutral (this applies to alot of characters btw)

You really got offended by "I thought alchohol wasn't allowed in the Middle East"? No further questions then.

Bullet with your name on it
What i'm about to write is some explanations on some change that received a negative/Positive comment in the Thread ... (( i might mess-up in some sentences, which i'll fix later if i find any ))

1. The main universal change that all these changes have in common is is to reduce the Wake-Up/Reversal Meta and that no safe Armor Attack special move should be safe. that's why you'll notice in the change-list a lot of armor moves became heavily more punishable and some armored moves armor gone to reduce the multiple armored moves options on Wake-Up.

KL Teleport is already bad, bad startup, bad tracking, useless on block, jab punishable on reaction and he adds more startups
Why would you make Lao's regular teleport even slower? It's already one of the most useless moves in the game
Kung Lao's regular teleport should only be used on a read.

Possessed expush is fine
read point number 1 above. ................ But still Possessed will Have two wake-ups, EX BF2 ( -10 on blk ) and EX Tele ( slow with one 1 of armor.

respect to the overhead from mid range.
he will get in using DF1 and still be 0 on block ;)

Changes proposed to Balanced are in the line of nrs changes: complementary and not addressing any of Balanced's true current problems.
He Should receive excellent buffs, because he will be broken ... i guess balance wasn't meant to see the top tier light :(.

Lack of Cage section hurts my eyes
HE said Johnny in all variations is fine and in a good place now including Fisticuffs due to everyone being normalized.

Double digits for swarm queen again? No, thanks.
additional recovery on regular low puddle was added and can be escaped with armored special.

Surprisingly Sonya wasn't even mentioned.
She is fine the way she is.

I mean I get that -2 on block makes EX-DB2 too easy to constantly throw out (especially with Thunder God's meter building), but -12 would make Raiden's wakeup game really bad outside of Displacer's EX-teleport. -7 I could live with, but -12 is too much.
Read point number 1 above.

Who punishes her DF2 or MB DF2 from full screen and how?
i would like to know that answer.

Simply neutral duck the bullets then do the move asap.
Kenshi can do bf spirit asshole. Quan can do Rune and obviously his Warlock nonsense and I think he can fuckin MB trance from fullscreen too, Jacqui can shoot back as a punish, Shinnok BS can do scoop from basically fullscreen.
nope

If they remove the armor off ex stomp he won't even have a wake up for pressuring opponents unless he uses two bars basically??
Read point number 1 above.

Because you wouldn't be able to use it mindlessly on wakeup?
Just like what TM suggested in his Point 1 above.

A lot of what you stated aren't punishes. Only punishes comes from the low profiling projectiles and slides that not every has and the gap that not everyone can exploit. Only people that can really exploit that gap are TP characters. The whole trades with Soul Ball, Ice Ball etc. Thing is a stupid argument because the purpose of those moves are to win every trade so complaining about how you lose a soul ball trade is stupid.

Are you just trying to spread misinfo for buffs? ik you know Kenshi can't punish, Quan can't punish, Kano can't punish, Johnny can't punish, Koyal can't punish with overhead sword, Tanya can't punish with B2, Shinnok can't punish. The move is minus 10 and all those moves you said these characters can use are slower than 10 frames
Thank You

So pretty much buff Tekken Master's characters and nerf everyone else
Tfw you want to buff your characters but nerf everyone else's.
You can tell who he plays from these suggestions lol, no bias in there :DOGE
He plays 80% of the cast at a high level ... but thinks that currently kotal & dvorah aren't tournament viable and near abysmal and need some improvements. Tekken Master Said that: with the current patch, u won't see Swarm Queen nor WG/BG Kotal in Top 8s anymore except if he used them. he wanted to include Sun God, but i reminded him that Illusions gets Top 8 in Majors, but he replied that but not relying on him Alone.

First of all Shinnok doesn't have a f223 string, it is f224.
First of all, it was a typing error and i didn't notice it till later.

Second, It is hard to understand what you want his shoulder to be, first you say ex bf3 is -23 ( on what????block??? Hit????! Seems that on block since you are saying down from -15) then you say ENhanced bf3 and ex bf3 are -20, I assume you mean meterburned bf3 and meterbuned ex bf3.
Shinnok's don't need to be -23 on block to be punishable.

in the current version, bf3 is a godlike move with the added meterburned launcher. he suggested that ex bf3 becomes -23 on blk because a lot of shinnok player abuse the meterburned launcher and just perfome a regular ex bf3 in fear of the MB'ed launcher and store the second meter. with that mentality ex bf3 became a powerful move. same goes with regular bf3 .. but Tekken Master said that regular bf3 should stay -15 on blk.

- Tele-Flurry and EX Tele-Flurry are now 30 frames on recovery.
[/SPOILER]
i love balanced Kenshi with all my hard and he is one of my few characters that i play consistently, but being 30F on recovery is gonna make him way too overowered.

B2 only gets nerfed in Grandmaster? And remains -13 in the other variations?
all variations .. sorry a typing error

Seriously? He wants to kill Mournful?


Boi if you dont get yo....
This change will buff her and with the current pushback ad blockstun, its very hard to punish.

12 frames move with a lot of range that sends the opponent to fullscreen that is where Mournful can zone the shit out of her opponent, will do 10% damage on hit and -10 on block but still with a lot of pushback and blockstun...

Yeah... it will kill Mournful :DOGE
Thank You Bro

It'd be more interesting to know what the general consensus on a tier list would be before suggesting balance changes, especially with MKX being on its last legs and Injustice 2 right around the corner. I'm surprised no one has made one yet.
we will do a tier list soon :DOGE

berserker stance even means
his chainsaw stance

do you need to wait 3 frames longer
wait 3 frames longer

He has single handedly killed anything interesting/good about Unstoppable
he will still be good with everyone being normalized. and for both of his command grabs having their armor removed, Read Point number 1

> Kano

> Make ex upball -11

Kill yourself
Read Point number 1 above.

why not just say bicycle kick
Bicycle Punch is for Dualist & Dragon Fire .... he was refereeing to windmill punches in Flame Fist Variation, that's why i wrote FBF4 under Flame Fist

Swarm Queen changes are pretty on point. A lot of people are just seeing the return of puddle oki, but don't seem to realize that the recovery nerf is still there. Anyone with a decently fast wakeup can punish D'vorah for trying to use puddle on knockdown, so even if it was +20 for a bar, you still have real options to get out of it.
Thank You :rolleyes:
Since I'm the only person who gives a shit about the character;

Bo' Rai Cho changes

Universal


F2 changed to a mid from high (All variations)

F2 startup changed to 12 frames (up from 15)

Dragon Breath

Unchanged

Drunken Master

Any of these options - plus what I haven't mentioned in that thread.

Remove armour from ex bf3

Remove invincibility from ex dd3

Bartitsu

DF3 launches without spending a bar, startup changed to 28 frames (down from 24). Changed to -15 on block (down from -13). Still keeps it's insane damage scaling from the current meterburn version.

There are some more hits I'd be willing to take in drunken master and bartitsu in exchange for what I'm asking but I haven't thought of them as of yet.
according to Tekken Master ... BRC is fine the way he is and will actually raise in the tier list a bit with the normalization across the board.

Ex telestomp is his armored check for people that try to jump out of command grab or punch walk,
Read point number 1 above.

Seems like Erron would be worse after these changes, is that even possible?
Read point number 1 above.

on the contrary, he got buffed here ... Faster F1 ... For Gunslinger, Stand into 4 has 4 Less Recovery Frames. and Stand into 4 turned into High,High is still gonna give ppl trouble, just look at full-auto's gun-shot (( df2 )), its high but still give ppl trouble. and for Outlaw, he will receive a safe normal that he can end string with Tarkatan Stab DF2/ EX DF2 being -5 on blk (( from -23 )).

Erron:

Armour removed from EX Command Grab - EX DBF2
Read number 1 above.

Cyber Sub

Divekicks is more minus on block


Dragon Fangs

Remove armor from EX Telestomp


Erron Black

Armour removed from EX Command Grab - EX DBF2

Gunslinger

Stand into 4 is now High,High (( from Mid,Mid ))


Kano

EX Upball - EX DB2 -11 (( from -5 ))


Jax

F212 is -10 on block (( from -5 ))


Kung Lao

Regular Teleport has more startup


Alien

BF4 is -15 on block (( from -10 ))



lmao.
i'd like to know the reasoning behind these and as well as pretty much everything else in the op list.
for Dragon Fangs, Erron Black, Kano ... Read point number 1 above.

for Kung Lao, regular teleport should only be used in a read and not randomly. if the KL player wanted a fast teleport, he should spend a bar.

Alien, Evo 2016 :DOGE ... JK, to reduce his 50/50s.

Jax F212 is a buff actually ... these are the reason,

* F212 launches near jax for a follow-up combo

* F212 has more damage scaling

for Cyber-Sub, to reduce randomness and be more punishable when attempting a low/overhead hard-to-blockable mix-up with the ice bomb.

Your Ermac changes are horrendous m8. 0/8 I r8 no h8 but srsly m8.
you want to use armor ... use EX DB2, it has armor. the other 2 string changes is needed.

No one notice he asked cyber sz ice ball to be -3 on block
Safe iceball, rip the entire cast. I have a feeling this was a typo lol.
he needs it.

You're pretty entertaining to watch on stream, dude.
Don't ruin it with becoming a TYM-poster.
he didn't post it ... i did :DOGE

My nigga... who the fuck wants to BUFF grandmaster ....
With the double cooldown on ice clone ... its gonna hurt him a lot.
Shame on the 4 souls that agreed with these changes
i was the first :DOGE

if anything, the non ex clone should go away whenever the opponent succesfully block an attack
This is a good suggestion.
Wow nothing but nerfs for kang and Kano up ball is now punishable.

Nope.
Read point number 1 above,

Smoke's f4d1 really doesn't need to be changed in my opinion, it is a good tool that allows you to stay safe on confirm but be punished if you finish f4d1,2 without confirming. No change.
he should go for the other string ... F42 (( - 5 ob blk ))

The change that I would make for Imposter Shinnok in general is to not allow him to get "FREE" ex moves. Ermac, Cassie, Alien, Johnny, Kotal, etc. He should have to spend a bar to get the enhanced version of these moves.
Good Suggestion

@x-azeez coming in clutch with that friend support doe lol.
:cool:

Does he mean his hat throw which is pretty fucking terrible?
the pretty f*cking terrible move that every pro mkx players get hit by it all the time for some reason.


Interested in who those 6 "yes" are.


No offense at all to Tekken Master, but there are some phenomenal players in our scene who can play, win/place, but aren't good when it comes to things like tier lists and balance changes. Hell im like that too, thats why I stick to playing and reading and not making balance and tier lists.

Im not gonna insult him, but the changes are pretty crazy, i just came back and took a look and literally made the blinking white guy meme face.
Crazy Changes ??!!






And for Last, GRANDMASTER SUBZERO.

The double cooldown will help characters that gets raped by constant ice clone that reappearing at a fast pace to have a very good chance to get in on sub play their game. also GM will have less damage in the corner because he will be forced to not do a ice clone mid-combo in the corner so that he can bring the ice clone and resume his MIX.

and the added 7 frames on regular ice clone on recovery plus with the ice clone doesn't go away on block, will help subzero in unfavorable matches like, dvorah, predator HQT, tremor's, Bartitsu, Shinnok, Sektor, Full-Auto, Lasher, Mystic, Scorpion, Possessed, Tempest, Buzzsaw, Tanya and a few more.

Laos regular teleport is too fast so i agree we should make it 35f on startup and remove all ability to track.
Also remove buzzsaw bnb's as they are broken.
Ex tele should have no armour
Spin should be at least 15f startup with no launching capability
Hattrick hat trap should have 55 recovery frames.

LOL so what you guys think?
WOW .. there are like 13 changes in that post alone :DOGE

I mean sure, I could live with DB and bartitsu as they are now (universal changes are quality of life stuff) but drunken master absolutely needs a damn rework or balance or some sort, that shit is so unplayable. I take it online regularly now because it's swaggy and fun but it just SUCKS. If they change drunken master to make it actually usable and not a dumpster fire I would be fine with him for the rest of the games life.

One rule doesn't apply to all, not every character armor needs to be unsafe, some characters are already unsafe as they are and they've been built to heavily rely on their armor move, if you make changes universally, you will only hurt characters that needs them. Defense mechanics will becomes worse and knockdown offense will be a fucking fest again.


Kung Lao's regular teleport should only be used on a read.
KL regular and ex teleport are already used mostly on reaction, because its slow, has a bad tracking, can be jabbed on reaction, most of its followups don't connect while you neutral duck which makes its easily avoidable, tele3 is -6 on block, combo punishable by some, if TM gets hit by TP shennanigans and he is unable to counter them, he deserves it, KL TP is bad and if anything should actually be buffed, but definitely not the startup, the followup options needs to be consistent and need a better hitbox.

I understand tempest teleport being annoying due the hat spin, but his teleport don't needs more nerf, its already bad as it is.


He plays a 80% of the cast at a high level ... but thinks that currently kotal & dvorah aren't tournament viable and near abysmal and need some improvements. Tekken Master Said that: with the current patch, u won't Swarm Queen nor WG/BG Kotal in Top 8s anymore if anyone else except him used them. he wanted to include Sun God, but i reminded him that Illusions gets Top 8 in Majors, but he replied that but not relying on him Alone.
No one in this game plays 80% at high level, no one, no TM, no Sonic Fox, no REO, no one, playing some of these characters at the highest level requires time, lots of it, requires huge MU knowledge, and not every variation in this game has potato moves shared universaly, some characters variations are much harder to use than others, though i can't deny some characters are full of potato moves which are pretty easy to reach the highest level when most of said moves are mostly very hard to counter in a game like MKXL with pretty bad defense mechanisms.

with the new 9F F1 .. killer is gonna become super scary to face in-close .. because the opponent will have to guess to either block the Chainsaw stance into 1 or Killer cancelling his Chainsaw stance into another 9F mid F1.
