MB Backdashes

[Braindead]

I think this might have been suggested before, but I'd really like to see this with the possible gameplay changes we're gonna get with KP2.

I think this game could really use a new mechanic, a MB backdash, which goes double the distance of a regular backdash, has more invincibility, and maybe a little less recovery, in exchange for a bar of regular meter or an additional bar of stamina.

Since half the strings and normals catch backdashes without actually intending to scout them, I think it would this would be very useful and would buff the defense aspect of the game.

Opinions?

Yes

Back dashes kinda suck as is

"0f recovery or it's not worth it" - first words came to mind without much thought. Depends on how it'll affects 100% of the cast (not just who's on the radar)

Well it doesn't necessarily mean that someone like poor Kenshi shouldn't get his normal backdash buffed if this was added.

I'm pretty sure I saw a status update within the past 6 hours saying MB backdash as a suggestion lol

Yeah I think it would be pretty good but I haven't thought of how it would change the meta or if it would be too good or anything. Just initially it seems good to me.

 

[FL Rushdown]

I'd say no.

 

[Braindead]

I'd say no.

Why?

Just give me a meter burn back 3 and a dream, and I'll be all set.

Half the cast in this game would be able to break the armor on MB B3s fairly easily lol.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Kano's regular backdash would be better than Kenshi's MB backdash

Not if I have Catwoman's.

You need a vortex, a half screen SAFE slide and a zoning tool that you can convert off of from full screen. You need a broken character an a dream. #NerfKillerFrost #BrokeBitch

 

[conqueror]

nah i would suggest to fix backdashes that sucks e.g. kenshi, raiden, etc

 

[DrManhattan]

No. In a game that requires resources to back dash they should be better.

GTFO if I think a back dash should cost fricken meter too.

 

[scarsunseen]

How about if a MB Backdash cost one bar of meter but let you keep your bar of stamina? I think that would be an interesting change. Could make footsies and spacing much more interesting.

 

[Spencer]

No BRUH the only Idea I think should be implemented is 1 bar block breaker which is almost the same thing.

I GUESS YALL FORGOT ABOUT ZONING CHARACTERS.

Zoning characters would become top tier you would never get chance to touch them.

Think about Quan chi building meter throwing projectiles and when you get close MB back dashing.
When you if you get him in the corner all he has to do is somehow get you in a trance then use that time to run away.

I GET frustrated just thinking about it.

Don't forget the other characters to FULL AUTO J
KITANA
The Predator

Such a Headache.

Backdashes take 1/4 to 1/3 of a bar. Maybe make some better somehow. Would be a small step in making defense more than just waiting through plus frames and guessing 50/50s. Personally, I don't think a defensive minded player could make it in MKx.

 

[youthinkyoubadyouaintbad]

i think there should be a meter burn backdash but it should cost 3 bars of meter. Good way to teach the cowards a good lesson. Hold dat rushdown dawg.

Mileena's would just look silly if she goes double distance, but im for it

 

[1man3letters]

so give everyone mileenas ex fade away??

 

[Gamer68]

Nah, just make dashes take 1/4 of stamina instead of 1/2. Anyway, I kinda doubt we will be getting gameplay changes anyway, to be honest. It's not really something NRS has done in the past and I think they will continue that "trend" (if you want to call it that) in MKX. Would be cool to see gameplay changes though.

 

[God Confirm]

This is basically where it's at, and it would be a massive buff to characters with fast really long distance advancings for whiff punishing. Basically, Cassie, Reptile, Predator, Tanya,

Kotal would be on this list but his backdash is trash I don't think it would be useable even doubled.

Master of Souls and Jin might be on this list too which could be a small positive, but their space control into combo is much slower so wouldn't be as good and would only catch the longer strings. Wouldn't offset that the ones who benefit the most are already mostly top 5 or top 10.

I say no, but i think it is a good idea in general but to be implemented now would need to come with fixes to help rebalance the already titled mets that will be tipped further by this change

Weve talked about this and I did post the question on my status a while back but I believe adding a hit of armor after the invincibility would be fine. So characters with multi-hitting strings can still pressure and breakthrough but it could scout out pokes and rekkas.
