[Eldriken]

No rising ice for sub idk wtf they wanna do with him

Seriously. I wanna know what all changed. lol

Yeah it's hard to really tell what's really good & whatnot now especially whenever they don't show it on stream. Makes me even more anxious to get ahold to them. lol. I'm pacing too & I'm not even home yet bro!

 

[QueenOmega]

As a Cetrion player. I'm honestly not really interested in a third variation. I honestly think it cannot get better than spring cleaning, unless they give her some new abilities.

According to leading scientists everything in the game has already been figured out, though.

Nrs games have insane depth

Dvorah's 3rd

Dvorah's 3rd

This is it, everyone. This is going to be the strangest variation in the entire fucking game. It's like a Frankenstein's Monster of a variation.

Not saying anything about balance, just that everyone best be prepared to have no idea what's happening with the bug bitch.

Depression Blade + MKX style njp be praised :^)

Waiting on the full patch notes is hard right now ngl

 

[PLAYING TO WIN]

They did say tonight, right?

 

[LawAbidingCitizen]

They did say tonight, right?

They did but I think Evil Canadian said he rewatched the stream and it said today and later with the patch?
Not sure if he is joking but I remember it saying patch will drop today watch Twitter for updates

 

[Eldriken]

They did say tonight, right?

Nope. I think he originally said that but probably messed up his wording as he later stated "not today" but with the patch.

they said both
that its tonight
and its not tonight, and will be with patch, which is also not today

one is an error

the later the day goes the statement of today grows higher in likely hood of being false!!!!!!!!

You should look at K&M's V3 speculation videos for each character. They got most of them right and here is
Scorpion with:
Sin Blade + Misery Blade (3rd Variation)

Yeah, I watched the streams. Just wondering about more frame data changes that haven‘t been mentioned. If any were made.

 

[MagicMan357]

I bet kano still sucks

 

[FreshFromTheDeli]

I bet kano still sucks

He gets Snakebite and Optic blast. Probably his best move in the game is Snakebite so it's a win for him.

 

[kantboy-2]

Kano has moves that were designed to be used together (Snakebite, Bio-Pull/Trap, Manhandled) and no variation takes advantage of it.

It's not a win; a draw at best.

 

[FrankOceansWaifu]

Yet we’re still defaulted to a single set of gear for every variation

 

[dribirut]

Wait I’m confused. Did nrs day they were dropping these changes sometime today??

Kollector gets Chakram.

Oh boy @Evil Canadian gonna like this.

Apparently Kollector has Chakram/Relic pull according to 16 bit on twitter. (i now read the post, i repllied before reading, the quote has the twitter, derp derp derp)

So Chakram got buffed to a 2 point move, which is fair I guess cause its re-goddamn-diculous

Relic pull kinda sucks a lot though! Hope its changed.

 

[FreshFromTheDeli]

Apparently Kollector has Chakram/Relic lure according to 16 bit on twitter.

Do you think the Kollector downplay will continue?

I mean people downplayed Kitana and look what she has got now. And it sounds like Kotal ain't getting no universal changes to his frames which makes me sad.
