Which characters will they NOT touch in the next patch?

I'd like them to do something about characters that aren't used very much, and weaker variations like D'vorah Brood mother, Erron Black Gunslinger, Kung Jin Ancestral etc. to make them more viable and prevent one strong variation from dominating. I feel like SZ, Scorpion, Raiden, Jax, Kenshi and Ermac will be untouched.

A few thoughts on expectations for which characters will neither be buffed nor nerfed in next week's pending shake up:

(1) Kitana: this gorgeous Edenian frankly seems to be in a good place at the moment, I don't see NRS tweaking anything.

(2) Tanya: another gorgeous Edenian who is also in a good place. No nerfs. No buffs.

I would add Kung Jin to the above list, but I could see ancestral getting help.

Which characters do you think will get through the next patch unchanged?
For Tanya remove the 2 hits of armour to 1 hit and fix her final hit of rekkas to -23 and not -12 like frame data says it is and we have a deal

NRS, Guilty Gear, and KI, the holy trinity
because i have really shit luck kenshi will not be touched and balanced will be left to die in a hole since they somehow decided it was reasonable to make telefury, a massive space control/zoning tool in his arsenal, completely fucking useless because of how horribad it is on whiff
 
So since we're getting a stream & the hype is building & fall is the season. Am I wrong to assume that this patch will be MKXs "The Big One"? Injustice changed for the better, hopefully MKX does too.

Also #BuffNetKode people don't read paragraphs unless you mention net code.

I hope NRS don't go a make jabs over prioritise jump ins as it will really hurt a lot of chars because in this game most chars don't have a super hard to react universal jump ins like MK9.

But if they added like a 2 frame window on D2s having piority over jump in punches, that could be good since most don't lead to combos, you would of to make a read if it's a jump in punch or kick and plus it will take execution

I am like the blue rose
The way they are making this patch sound, I have a hard time imagining anyone will be left out. Maybe certain variations will be left untouched, but I can see Displacer Raiden getting some buffs for sure.

My main man Jax will probably have some of the least work done overall. I am expecting them to fix his mid strings so they cannot be low profiled by neutral ducking females, and perhaps make his midscreens hit more consistently across the cast.
 

Pterodactyl

Plus on block.
I predict that Unstoppable Jason will continue to be the shittiest thing in this entire game, primarily because it's the shittiest thing ever but absolutely nobody uses it so nobody bitches and moans about it so NRS probably don't even realize how bad it is.


Hopefully they at least make it so that you can choose to spend meter to resurrect instead it being a forced decision.

Spammer. Crouch walk hater.
Nobody cares about Reptile, so no changes to his useless meterless trait activations.

100% agree, that move already hits twice and is safe with 2nd rekka,

why the flying fuck does a skinny little girl have a move with 2 hits of armor anyway and a half rock man getting his shit stuffed like hes a little girl.
i dont like to coplain about nrs decisions but a bit of logic wouldnt of gone a miss there

I wish I knew Kung Fu.
I'm not sure they'll leave anybody totally untouched, but I think a bunch will just get some minor adjustments to certain moves. Just in response to the major tweaks they'll do to some characters, as to avoid creating broken matchups.

However, I guess Sub not getting touched seems viable. I mean, I don't care all that much 'cause I don't play Sub, but at this point it would be a surprise.

There is exactly a 0% chance Tanya goes untouched. I just hope they don't nuke her.



I still often find myself wondering why the hell they gave EX rekka two hits of armor lol.
Yeah, the two hits of armor point is pretty hard to argue against I suppose. I just felt that they nerfed her pretty significantly last time and she is no longer OP as a result. Still top tier, but not OP.

I dont care what they do....however Ermac's d3 needs to be punishable by everything. Cause I'm Salty about that bullspit.
