MY PREDICTIONS FOR THE NEXT BALANCE PATCH - POST YOURS

[Heartwire]

There's a lot of people that would disagree with that, myself included. It seems to be an extremely mixed bag.

For me, I've gone from having 50% unplayable matches to close to 95%.

I've been having more success fortunately, however even with the new matchmaking (latency based) I still get laggy matches sometimes that make me want to throw stuff.
But overall my experience has improved (not optimal, but it's better)

That will always be the case. I honestly wish the improvements were universally noticed and not just for some. :/ Sorry you're not one of 'em.

The netcode could use some more work, but damn, dude. That's harsh.

I'm more concerned with who exactly he feels I play in MKX that benefits from lag. I surely hope he's not trying to refer all the way back to Injustice, lol. Despite playing Doomsday, I got my ass handed to me plenty of times by people online, so it's no excuse.

 

[Crathen]

Erron Black (Gunslinger)

-Standoff Stance cancel ( 1 ) slightly faster recovery

-Standoff Stance 2 bigger horizontal hitbox and safe on block ( it actually whiffs on crouch blocking characters ) , faster recovery on hit

-Standoff Stance 4 bigger horizontal hitbox ( first bullet whiffs on crouch blocking characters )

-Coin shots hits overhead

Kotal Kahn ( Sun God )

- General EX Air Grab has 1 hit of armor

- General safer on block b12 , b14 , f1b2

-General faster recovery on successful Mace parry

-General faster recovery on Sunray

-General faster b2

- Faster startup and damage from Sun Grab ( 10% , 14% , 19% )

- Increased healing from EX Soul Scorch ( 10% , 15% , 20% )

- Increased meter gain from Soul Scorch ( half a bar , 3/4 of a bar , 1 bar )

-Way faster recovery on Sunray in Sun God

Kotal Kahn ( Blood God )

- Successful EX Mace parry stuns the opponent leaving him +20 ( can't combo from it )

- Vampiric Totem to work as intended and not disappearing when hit

- Blood offering faster recovery only in Blood God

Kotal Kahn ( War God )

- db3 on hit slightly more advantage , right now you can be punished for using it in the corner

I'll have to think about it

 

[Diego de Souza Costa]

Kenshi
Balanced and Kenjutsu Ex rk -9

Kenjutsu db1 inproved gravity which allows normal combo after hit

Balanced Ex sc travels further than regular sc

D3 is a low and 0 on block like quan

and his moves have to come out faster too.... or at least "Rising Karma"(to be more reliable Anti-Air) it takes ages to start... jesus christ... -.-

 

[Alright RyRy]

Goros F3 is now a 10 frame move. Since it would be the only viable advancing normal.

Goro can now link a SG after 1 or 2 on block (Like Ferra / Torr). But opponents are able to armor out.

Goro can now control which side he ends up on after EX Telestomp.

Goros B12U1 loses the Sektor syndrome and always connects.

This would make Goro a complete character imo.

[its_ezie]

reoooo showed possessed kenshi nooo type of love love. i think his tele should be able to be used in the air. I think his low demons should be safer on block as well as his bf3 (his possessed version of tele fury) and i think his f2 overhead should be universal across variations. kenshi needs these.

i agree with shinnoks buffs, i would add that his bf+4 flick move should also track better on running opponents because as of now you can run through just about all of his specials.

Takedas normals need to be faster on startup more specifically his b21 overhead string.

The liu kang buff is a little eh because the windmill punches (including the ex) are both pretty negative on block so whiff or not if they are blocked liu kang gets punished. Flame fist is probably one of his worst because of it. I think his windmill punch should have a similar property to that of his BK where it can be meter burned at any point in time to start a combo as well as make it safe.

The three characters that need buffs most is shinnok, KENSHI FOR SURE, and takeda. Liu is fine despite him even getting nerfed a bit with the recent patch but his flame fist could use some help.

Erron Black:

Gunslinger
- Stand Off Stance~2 safe on block.

- All coin shots now hit overhead.

Fuck yeah!

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

i don't like these

i'd simply make 2 a mid. That is really all i'd do for him.

in any case....

 

[Farpafraf]

D'Vorah db4 EX now launches for a full combo.

EDIT: I'll be reasonable and only request that for Brood Mother variation since it's probably her weakest.

We need it

 

[NRF CharlieMurphy]

btw.... i hadn't really looked at these characters that people are all agreeing are bad.... then I did

wtf were they doing with Kenshi? like....... those frames? why? KNOWING teleports would reach him on block......... why?

Is he like in the alpha stages of design?

 

[Juggs]

Shinnok (Necromancer)

- fix tracking on all necro specials
- reduce the start up of all necro specials by 2 frames
- reduce recovery on MB versions of all necro specials by 3 frames
- 5% damage increase on all necro specials

 

[Big Pampering]

''Prediction"

So all these people are now just doing what they have been giving other people shit for. Asking for buffs and nerfs. I am okay with this but don't go giving other people shit for doing something and then turn around and do it yourself.

 

[Osirun]

@Juggs You read my mind.

 

[STRYKIE]

Kenshi d3 is actually salt into an open wound bad

Hits mid and is not good whatsoever

I'd like to see humor in this and say maybe it's a "price of divekicks" kind of thing but man this is some seriously question-begging sabotaging. LOL.

Check out Mileenas frames if you like bad frame data. Unsafe for days.

 

[Asodimazze]

Kung Jin Ancestral:

Air arrows hit overhead

No time limit for stun arrow

Kung Jin Shaolin:

Faster db3, 12 frames startup I would say

Kung Jin, general:

11 0 on block from -2, like it was prepatch

Ferra Torr general:

Damage buff
f32 hits overhead

Scorpion hellfire:

much less advantage on fireball cancels
less damage

 

[STRYKIE]

Lol, looks like most of those were a joke. Last thing this character needs are buffs. He is perfectly ok atm.

Scorpion has a pretty good arsenal and I think he can function without these changes except for Takedown remaining negative on hit. Spending a bar on your only standing armored move and then being forced to respect a wakeup yourself isn't fun.

 

[Baconlord]

That actually has no business being an overhead lol imo. It already has good range, good for poking, & can be cancelled into a special. I would rather for standing 3 to be an overhead than that if anything since it's a good knockdown; even though it's unsafe, but it would be worth using if an opponent blocks low. I see your point though & see why you would think so because of the hit animation, but still. I would like her d1 to actually make contact too.

Also, I like the Kitana ideas.

I know but a man can dream

 

[Byites]

kung jins ex bojitsu spin unsafe on block.

Remove quan chis op summoner mix ups ( not sure how they would go about this)

Make kung lao hat trick more fun. Possibly add new special moves.

 

[NRF CharlieMurphy]

Her frames are fine

she has 0 on block things and a 7 frame launcher that AA's

Kenshi literally gets punished full screen for doing anything.

 

[Afumba]

I hope for something like that

Ermac
General
- b2 unblockable when fully charged or make the string otherwise useful

Mystic
- tkp saver on block
- ex tkp - next combo after ex tkp drains meter. If Ermac is hit or after X seconds effect is lost.

Spectral
just something... dunno... maybe Sindel types of projectiles


Mileena
General
- ex sai cancellable

Ravenous
- armor on pounce

Piercing
- low sai +on hit


Kitana
- ex fan cancellable

 

[Asodimazze]

kung jins ex bojitsu spin unsafe on block.

Kung Jin bo spin is already unsafe, everybody can punish it

 

[ragnar0kz28]

His knives have to be mid, how don't you understand that yet. Secondly nothing is wrong with Jacqui's gun.

Not in my point of view, Kanos knifes are retarded like this

 

[LaidbackOne]

Well, your point of view doesnt matter since they are obviously not 'retarded'.

 

[STRYKIE]

kung jins ex bojitsu spin unsafe on block..

It is, git gud.
