Mortal Kombat X Patch Notes 6/23/15

[hayatei]

And Ronin Takeda was left alone...not sure how to react

he doesn't need anything

 

[QuantumBit]

Mine is taking forever on Xbox. I fail to see why these patches need to be so big.

 

[crosstalk]

Can someone explain what "2in1 Cancelled" means?

It's just another term for special canceling.

 

[ExpiredCodes]

It took me 4 hours to download.

tyvm

 

[Kidigital]

Did you have to hard reset? I don't have it

 

[MK Peanuts]

Took a really long time for me to download the patch. I didn't like time it or anything but it was a while. It kept pausing itself automatically and I had to keep restarting it.

 

[CURBOLICOUS]

Liu Kang buffed boys! He officially has a 50/50 in dualist now!

@AK L0rdoftheFLY @AssassiN @XBlades @CURBOLICOUS

Hasnt he always?

 

[GGA Max]

Very much a blow up. It's 2015 damn it. A disgrace to modern technology how long this thing takes. Whoever is responsible should be ashamed.

 

[Nereus]

Did you have to hard reset? I don't have it

Same here.. i don't have it on xbox either

 

[Kanalratte]

confirmed. Sub Zero in the next patch bottom tier.

 

[QuantumBit]

Did you have to hard reset? I don't have it

I just started up the game and got the download prompt.

 

[Shark Tank]

When they buffed Blood God Unbreakable was doomed. don't even try and deny it.

Any of kotal variations are the least of your worries right now

 

[ChrispyCream7]

Sonya's patch notes make me a little moist. Especially her energy blast.

 

[Mighty Durpyena]

There's a stage brutality in Quan Chi's fortress using SK's hammer

 

[Samsara]

Any of kotal variations are the least of your worries right now

You miss the point. When they buffed his totems (including his defense one---obsidian I think) they removed any incentive to actually play Unbreakable. Outside of a slide and a ice ball, Kotal now does everything Unbreakable does with better damage and more tools. Do you see my point yet? They didn't even think it through, and now when they had a chance to balance all the characters they chose to ignore Subby. This is the issue.

Well then you're still fucked if you want to switch because BG is still ass. So start downplaying

 

[kivatt]

It finally finished. It was weird I paused it then unpaused it and it sped up for me

 

[Konqrr]

Oh god why did they buff sonya

Mostly fixes. Why they buffed her Leg Grab damage and made projectile mid is beyond me but the Leg Grab lets your opponent out of the corner in her non-uppercut combos so it will only be useful midscreen where it knocks them far away.

So does tanya's ex-tele have any use outside of being a combo extender?

anti-air, now with the removal of armor it will be harder to connect but it still works

Oh god. Looks like hellfire scorpion is useless

Scorpion has all the tools he needs to win. You literally can't zone him. His d4 outranges most of the cast. So he lost his stamina block infinite, boo hoo. If he had a meter block infinite that would be one thing as meter is hard to come by, but Stamina comes back so fast after using it for FBC so it's beyond dumb.

Tanya didnt get slammed at all. They nerfed what all Tanya mains agreed needed to be nerfed and fixed her hitbox issues. AND buffed Pyro. I can't speak for anyone else but I am fucking ecstatic right now.

This exactly. Tanya got what she had coming.

KITANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3

 

[Samsara]

I could care less about switching to blood god, merely using Kotal as an example of a misguided decision on NRS's part---- not that buffing Kotal was bad, but that Buffing Kotal in a way that invalidates an already weak variation of Subz without in turn giving Unbreakable any attention was just plain silly.

 

[OBS|KH Rattlehead]

retty sad Scorpion's 1 bar BNBS no longer work. And here I was really mastering his fireball cancels. Oh well, back to finding a new character that fits my playstyle.

 

[D4G]

We survived another patch Jax community!

Nerfing Jax is equivalent to supporting terrorism. Jax is an all American hero who's earned his due as an MK powerhouse.

 

[kayuza]

There's a stage brutality in Quan Chi's fortress using SK's hammer

doesn't seem to have any explicit conditions either..

 

[Youphemism]

Thoughts:

• Jacqui - Stanky Leg (BK ~up BK) is now listed in the movelist Ayyyy that's good, but Stanky Leg? Lmaoooooooooo

• Kano - Black Dragon Ball (enhanced) damage increased by 4 Noice, this'll help Commandos mostly.
• Kano - Uprise Ball (enhanced) damage increased by 3 and is now -5 on block (down from -27) Meh still a bar though, which we need for combos.
• Kano (Commando) – Choke & Strangle are now -4 on block (down from -14) Sexy.

• Kitana – now pokes out with a fan in Punishing Poke (Down + FP) "Oh no but it's -10" I can hear it already *eyeroll*
• Kitana - Rising Blades can now be special move 2in1’d out of on hit I wonder how this will affect her bnbs/damage
• Kitana - 2nd fan in enhanced Fan Toss is now a mid block Ugh but Paulo said mid fans were dumb.
• Kitana - Fan Swipe (Towards + BP) is now -6 on block (down from -18) +8 on hit (up from -14) and has 12 less recovery frames Inb4 "but it's not an overhead, it needs to be an overhead for her to be viable"
• Kitana - increased combo damage scaling after Rightful Heir combo (Towards + BK, FK) Hahahaha

To be honest if there are Kitanas that still aren't happy after all these buffs then they don't deserve to continue with their whine posts, they'll just need to shut up and get on with it instead of complaining.

• Kung Jin (Ancestral) - now goes into a ducking state during Low Shot Yo dat Green Arrow buff

• Kung Lao (Hat Trick) - Hat Call Back is now a mid block Noice.
• Kung Lao (Hat Trick) - Hat Call Back of a Low Hat Trap is now a low block Interesting...
• Kung Lao (Hat Trick) - slightly easier to juggle combo after Hat Call Back Yayyyy, hitting NJP after that was a bitch.
• Kung Lao (Hat Trick) - reduced High Hat Trap recovery by 25 frames 25 frames! PogChamp
• Kung Lao (Hat Trick) - reduced Hat Trap & Low Hat Trap recovery by 15 frames Hol' up.

I mean I was messing around with Hat Trick before and wasn't sure since it did mediocre damage, had mediocre setups and had hard to hit conversions but I think I might look at it a little more now.

• Liu Kang (Flame Fist) - Windmill Punch & Windmill Flurry can now be 2in1 special cancelled on block/hit I wonder how this afects him...
• Liu Kang (Flame Fist) - Shaolin Flame can now be 2in1 special cancelled out of Thank god, the recovery on this is insane.

• Mileena (Ravenous) - doing the Quick Taste combo (Away + FP, BP, throw) will now heal her a small amount as she bites I like when NRS do interesting things with moves.
• Mileena (Ethereal) - Reduced the recovery on Vanish Away & Vanish Towards. Also allows for combos to continue afterwards. Ohohohohohohohohoho!

• Reptile - increased damage of Shedding Skin combo (FK, BK, Down + BK) by 2
• Reptile - increased hit/cancel advantage on Sneaky Snake combo (Away + FP, Down + BK) by 20 What will this do for him though? He can probably link it into Klaw Pounce/Bounce or something now? I feel like I'm missing something here.
• Reptile - increased damage Toxic combo (Towards + FK, Away + BK) by 2 Doesn't this already do 16% though?!
• Reptile - Low Heel (Down + FK) now has 7 startup frames (down from 9) and is -3 on block (up from -2)

Holy Reptile buffs (and three nerfs) Batman!

• Scorpion - Eternal Vengeance combo (BP, FP, BK) has 4 less cancel advantage and no longer resets the block stun when it's 2in1 cancelled out of Get fucked Hellfire Scorpions lolololol
