MKX Hotfix 6-1-15

[Afk Skinny]

They fixed Jacqui, thank goodness, and I'm happy for Kenshi and Kitana, glad Mileena got faster start up, but I want a more consistent d1

 

[DevilMaySpy]

Raiden's F1 is no longer a mid, it's a high now.

 

[Bryck Walle]

I'm eager to see how that raiden F1 being a high plays out.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Wtf Takahashi family and Mileena aren't the only ones with slow normal issues. Reptile got overlooked

 

[Phantasmagore]

Call me a noob, but what difference does it make? Also, the gif is awesome, no pun intended.

 

[SaltShaker]

These Erron nerfs make no sense. Sand was already super punishable and left you point blank, and if 21122 is left unchanged then he still has crazy tick throws regardless if we get no oki off his command grab.

This.

Nerf tackles HIT advantage and sand toss even though that was easily full combo punishable on block.

Disregard all the bs surrounding 211 string(s), +8 sand ball for a second free 50/50, and the "tick throw"/be hit 50/50 during combo strings on block.

I like some of these changes for sure, but can't help but be incredibly upset at this.

• Erron Black - Tackle is now -2 on hit (down from +20)
• Raiden – F1 is now a high

Gee, I wonder what kneejerked NRS into making these changes....

Fuckin' armchair critics and their peer pressure...

 

[DevilMaySpy]

Am I reading this correctly? Kitana got NERFED

?

Edit: Oh ok, they made B1 faster so they made B1,4 slightly negative. That's fair.

My Kahn Bretheren, tonight we celebrate like true Gods!

Tomorrow, We shall give them nothing! And take from them Everything! It's time to strike back!

Bro, NRS doesn't take tym into account for buffs/nerfs. We're nobodies here

 

[Phantasmagore]

I'm still fairly ignorant about game mechanics so can someone explain what is the significance of Raiden's F1 being a high?

 

[Bryck Walle]

Considering that F12 string was frame trap central, and Raiden already having lots of tools at his disposal.....This makes it harder for him to frame trap. If you know what to expect, you can punish him for it now as opposed to before. That minor change is a big deal.

 

[Johnny San]

Sand was already super punishable and left you point blank

Mileena couldn't punish with her 8 frame Roll from certain ranges. I guess they wanted it to be a more stable punish across the board.

Watch Combo Breaker or MWC

You can duck it now, which means you aren't trapped in blockstun forever if you don't have a low profiling move.

It means you can neutral duck it.

Yeah she would've been raiden if they didn't Nerf it. It was +2 pre patch

 

[SonicFox5000]

Erron's command throw is still +/ Its just not as plus anymore </3

 

[PetulantWaste]

Oh what a day! Oh what a LOVELY DAY! Kotal Kahn now snatches fools from the sky. No more jump ins for you!

 

[xKhaoTik]

so kenshi got bane treatment?

 

[juicepouch]

I'm upset they didn't buff goro's alt costumes

I wouldn't mind if the 21122 shenanigans were removed, but now all oki after our main combo ender is gone. Really bummed about this, oh well.

Mileena couldn't punish with her 8 frame Roll from certain ranges. I guess they wanted it to be a more stable punish across the board.

Not many people are going to use Sand from that far, but you have a point. I don't mind this change.

 

[protools27]

So is this real or nah?

No one needs to know, edit your post quickly.

Omg NRS has hit us with the nerf hammer and Erron Black sucks now, oh my god whatever shall we do besides forever suffer in the hellish pits at the bottom of the tier list

The oki was part of the problem though. The tick throws weren't that bad except they guaranteed another 50/50 practically.

Also these changes were all really good. The takeda buffs will really help him and I think the Dvorah nerfs are manageable(although the F44 nerf hurts venemous )
