Im completly agreeing with this. This forum helped me to grasp this game an overall diffrent point of view. My tactics, bnbs, charcters all changed and i learned everything needed to know about mathups thanks to the dedicated people here. Without the community i might of lost interest in this game and ocassionally play with friends but this game is by far the bestfighting game ive played these few years.
Reptile gives me a little trouble online, but it seems that the recovery on his dash is fine in proportion to the damage it dishes. Kabal's spin and Scorpion's spear, for example, can lead to huge damage but leave the player at a huge disadvantage when blocked or whiffed. The risk/payoff ratio is perfect in my eyes.
Yeah Kabals Xray is pretty much super garbage atm, i'd be nice for an armor buff of some sort. But I guess it's okay considering people don't use xrays too much and it conserves meter if you don't use it. Kabal + 1 meter advantage for not ever using xray.
this is one of the most ridiculous not thought out at all buffs in the thread.
Tom... that's why I said i'm not 100% advocating either one... I don't like putting out buff ideas because I don't like buffs and nerfs very much myself. I was just wanting to see what people thought about that.
Yes, I'm pretty sure I have. I'm also pretty sure I didn't say "should" or "needs" anywhere in my post. Let's take things out of context because I asked a question.
then why suggest it........
My answer is above. It already is safe from max range, from close range it would be spammable and a little overpowered. Having his EX blade charge go full screen is honestly a ridiculous notion no matter how you put itXD
Because Baraka needs to get in to make things happen, and he currently has one of the hardest times getting in of the whole cast. That was the whole point of giving JC's ex shadow kick armor. What I'm saying is I have a hard time imagining him beating a top-level player playing a char with good fullscreen options. That's why I would not suggest that ex be fullscreen AND safe, so it would be more like ex shadow kick.
I am. If Kabal went back to his original block stun after F32 I would play him again. So, NRS, please take this feedback from a tournament player into consideration.
You CAN punish him w/slide if you block it at the right range. If you take away Ermac's range on that, it severely neuters Ermac.
Not only that but there is a sweet spot where Ermac players will sometimes think they can safely TKP but because Subzero's dash deceptively covers alot of ground you can dash in and 2,2,ice ball. Expert Ermac players will try hard to stay out of that range but I have caught even a few of them with that.
I swear I've gotten poked out of it fullscreen before. Glitch? (This was online)
Let the haters hate. They obviously don't play Baraka. I don't necessarily agree with making blade charge safe, but fullscreen ex blade charge is something I feel he needs desperately. He has to spend EVERYTHING (all meter) to get in versus zoners who can zone for FREE. That's the crux of the situation. Nightwolf got a fullscreen armored ex shoulder bash that hits overhead, but Baraka can't get the same treatment with his hitting high? It's not like Nightwolf even needed the armor, he already had anti-zoning tools. Johnny got armor on his fullscreen gap closer and he's a much more deadly close combatant than Baraka. I'm not saying Baraka is bad, he's actually pretty good with a lot of nice frametraps, but fleeing zoners are a fucking nightmare for him, especially if they have air fireball games (Sindel, Liu Kang, Kitana, Mileena, Kabal, etc).
