Hey, everyone. So with the release of the new beta that hit today (2/08/16) I made a video with @SonicFox5000 of us testing out all the new characters introduced and seeing what has changed.

The characters added in this update are:

- Erron Black
- Ferra / Torr
- D'Vorah
- Ermac
- Reptile
- Kotal Kahn
- Sonya
- Quan Chi

Check out the videos below:

Part 1:


Part 2:


Changes that aren't listed in the video:

Reptile:
- Nimble activation seems to have slightly less recovery

Ferra / Torr
- B,F+2 (Boulder Roll) in Lackey is a bit safer on block and recovery slightly faster in general.

@YOMI REO why are you saying that Ermac's Mystic Push is -14 in your video? When you went to the frame data page twice it still shows -24. The start up is 14f so maybe that's what you saw?

I seen you streaming tonight. Pig and Ketchup doing the same thing actually finding changes. Seem like F/T got even more stronger. I personally thought they were good already.

Only thing I would change for them is make Boss slide or toss gave you more plus on block to help you rush in vs a zoner. But the pop up launcher is cool I guess.

We're all from Earthrealm. If not, cool pic brah.
So DVorah and Reptile were both buffed?

Initial impression, this seems kinda short sighted to say the least, all their competitors were just nerfed... but we'll wait and see I guess. DVorah getting 11f wake up would have put her in top 5 LAST patch, now that everyone's been nerfed she is gonna be a BIG factor for sure.

Someone messaged me saying his push is now -14 on block so I went with the assumption that they were right, lol. I should have tested with SonicFox to make sure it was true, though.

I played with him tonight and his push definitely seems safer now although I haven't played him in awhile so I could be wrong. People tried to run in when I did it at max range and could not punish it.

Ah ok. I don't know the exact number but I went to the lab in the regular version to test it after watching you block so close. The same string you blocked when semi close I wasn't able to block in the standard version, full combo punishable, so it's definitely safer now. Pretty good change.

@YOMI REO I know you've been playing EB as of late. What are your thoughts on his changes? I know you said you feel he's different, but I was hoping you could elaborate a bit on that.

Max range it was safe against most of the cast.Maybe raiden could punish with superman and some other chars with fast full screen specials

It wasn't always max range, but the point was it seems safer for sure. Just wish he had the projectile and he would be Mk9 Ermac.
