Didn't he also ask for volunteers? Couldn't the "right people" have jumped in?I mean, it is REO and Atk on the balance. Who would you choose?

Yeah, he did, if I'm not mistaken. No one bit on it lol.Didn't he also ask for volunteers? Couldn't the "right people" have jumped in?
REO Detroit xSMoKEx etc.. And we are only responsible for some of the changes... Some things, other people tried to get him to do. Also it's pretty hard to change a lot of things in that game due to the coding.. most of the things we wanted can't even be changed like TBTB saidI mean, it is REO and Atk on the balance. Who would you choose?
In some basic aspects, sure. But other than that, it doesn't play like UMK3 at all. As someone said, MKX plays more like UMK3 than MK9, but still on a more basic level. The closest thing in MKX to UMK3 is Hellfire Scorpion, which is why I loved using him pre-nerf. I still use him but don't play MKX much at all anymore anyway. I've also heard he was even more like UMK3 Scorpion with tp cancels requiring no stamina, but some testers said that was "too good" and made it cost not 1 but 2 bars of stamina. I still don't understand why they nerfed him in the ground, but that's the NRS way. Instead of waiting to see how the perceived top tier flesh out in the meta, they almost immediately get nerfed when they may have never have needed to be nerfed in the first place. But the over patching early and often and then eventually abandoning the game is the NRS way, so it is what it is.MK9 plays like MK3. They gave us what we wanted.
It's odd that you'd try to call me out on my tier list after the preposterous one that you presented to everyone.You just had to fill space because the top guys only use a few characters lol. Characters like Cage and Kano are bitched about by a ton of people, so it's an easy and safe choice. Jacqui is the only character ranked high on that list might be controversial. For the most part all characters ranked high are either placing or are disliked by the community. Funny coincidence.
Im not sure how you play Baraka, but all the good ones that i have faced never really make use of his strings in neutral at all. They just patiently play footsies with d4. Baraka does have bad frame data on his strings but he does have a 6f d3 and blade spin is 7f. I do like that you try to give some explanation for why you feel the character is bad though, unlike other people on this thread...I'm not sure how much you played MK9 but Baraka was never any better than like, bottom 6.
I mean, maybe you might've caught a few people off with his sporadic double digit plus frames, but the second anyone informed enough took the time to research that the startup of his normals resembled moon gravity, it was almost always curtains.
Yes sir, I come a couple times a day to look for new info on the games.Dude, you live?
Yeah, now we have characters, variations that can't be punished, while Kabal had bigger holes then Swiss cheese LMAOYeah theirs a ton of revisionist history going on right now
Yea in 3 years of mk9 competively play we all saw these mystery Barajas in tournament run rampantIm not sure how you play Baraka, but all the good ones that i have faced never really make use of his strings in neutral at all.

Dumb aspects? like what? Frame trapping is his whole game plan. That's how he was designed. You may find it annoying but that doesn't mean he is broken. What top tiers need nerfing btw besides kabal and kenshi (and nothing dramatic should happen to kenshi)?. The nerfs shouldn't be too crazy. Lao shouldn't be touched. Cyrax only needs his reset taken away. Kitana shouldn't be touched. Even after the nerfs, Cage should still be around where he is now on the tier list or maybe even worse because of the buffs the low tier characters will get. So no. Cage really shouldn't be touched.He literally has REO being involved on the rebalancing. I think he consulted way more players but no one really helped. And a rebalance isn't a case of just leaving characters the same just because they operate fine under the current state of the game. Cage would simply be boosted by the high tiers getting nerfed, and still retain a lot of his dumb aspects. Also, remember, the changes possible are limited due to how poorly coded the game is. Sonya can't even get the desired changes because EX cartwheel is given the same code as regular.
While you say those specifics. As @THTB stated. This implies that certain moves CAN be changed without messing something up entirely. After all if MK9 is coded to where certain moves & EX Moves are tied to eachother. It may be impossible to give a desired buff to a character without completely destroying/breaking them and thus have to come up with an alternative route. And while a low tier might get a buff that helps deal with cage pressure easier, it might not be possible to help out others given the circumstances.Dumb aspects? like what?

Pig plz, we all know tournament results don't reflect balance.Yea in 3 years of mk9 competively play we all saw these mystery Barajas in tournament run rampant
*obvious sarcasm*
I don't think this is a good justification for making cage unviable though. The argument shouldn't be "well since we can't buff jade enough to help deal with cage then we should just take him out of the picture." . If it is impossible to buff some characters enough to deal with cage then I think that should just be a pill we have to swallow. You're not going to make people happy by ruining their characters.While you say those specifics. As @THTB stated. This implies that certain moves CAN be changed without messing something up entirely.

Yea so anyway......apparently mk9 absence has turned some people into well educated character analysts and now know more than the prosPig plz, we all know tournament results don't reflect balance.
@NSR This doesn't sound like something legitimate then to be considered for tournament use. It seems it's maybe just designed for casual use because if things are getting changed by people other than the pros who know best then it's one man's dream plus pros opinions used here and thereDJT MIT Myself REO Detroit XSMOKEX are already in it and some of them like i said we didn't do.. we only got around to half of what we wanted. some of the other balance changes we had no part of.
Return of the jobberOnly thing funny here is someone mentioning Baraka in a conversation as relevant
Viablebaraka was prolly better than bottom 6, he was def. better than kano sheeva stryker nightwolf jade csz and maybe sindel
What's cfwThe only problem with the MK9 update, and the reason I was so excited to contribute but ultimately bowed out, is that it probably can't be played by many.
Unfortunately the requisite of a CFW severely limits the participants. On top of that, you can't play online since it's probably risky with a modded PS3... not to mention even if you did, it's subject to MK9's shit online.
Sucks cause NSR's project is fucking awesome.
Quote me here w the list@Pig Of The Hut
exactly which changes are the ones you deem amateur and casual? tell me.
CFW stands for Custom Firmware. Reminder to people that MK9 TE is on PC as well.
