Mortal Kombat X Patch Notes 7/2/15

[aieches]

oo okay, so your saying for me to join team Kang, Team Kitana, or Team d'vorah... okay i got you

 

[Awkward Sloth]

I did. Slight damage scaling adjustments mean what? 25% became 19%? I doubt it.

I don't trust NRS after CEO scares. Hell they left Scorpion have double damage scaling for like 3 months. So I'm Skepticle about how well NRS will handle it

 

[Eldriken]

What move is that anyway? ex bf2?

Yep.

 

[jharris]

pics of ermac skin pls

 

[Pterodactyl]

Yep.

I mean, maybe if they at least made it do more damage than EX bf4, maybe that'd give it some use, but geez.

 

[Zoidberg747]

Well I saw that but it said "slight" scaling.

I thought slight in NRS' dictionary actually means slight.

How big is the scaling?

About to test. Im a little scared now.

 

[D. R.]

It was fun having you all on my Shinnok bandwagon for a couple days. Good luck with KL peeps.

 

[Magnum Magpie]

OMFG TANYA GOT NERFED AGAIN??? Ughhhhhh look at this @RunwayMafia i cannot! These morons!!!

I find it ridiculous NRS gave her these ideas only to remove them due to whining, bitching and complaining players who can't find ways around it.

 

[Eldriken]

I mean, maybe if they at least made it do more damage than EX bf4, maybe that'd give it some use, but geez.

If by "7 damage" they mean 7%, it now does 16%, which is only 1% less than EX bf4.

 

[Alright RyRy]

Any idea when this goes live?

 

[Ares_Supreme]

I can't believe Tanya players are seriously surprised! Like get a grip on reality! I half expected FF to get nerfed and i'm fine with it; still gonna go back to DF because the slight nerf makes DF just that much better imo but damn. Tanya was CLEARLY getting nerfed. Sorry you spent so much time on such a broken character.

 

[Dasblackman]

Awesome! New patch...oh wait I'm on PC we're 3 patches behind at this point....

 

[Ares_Supreme]

Any idea when this goes live?

Looks live on PS4 already. i am forced to download a patch right now

 

[Devin Thorn]

I'm pretty sure that the only cancel advantage, if any now, from regular SF would be from F213 SF, and you need to spend meter to get decent damage again. I don't think WP being cancelable, alone, is enough to make this variation competitive with Dragon's Fire; DF has better pressure and zoning, and safer meter building and chip. The meterless damage was the variation's main allure, so if you're going to be spending meter regardless, why not go DF?

What? You don't always have to be linking SF in combos and block strings, it's not like you can't activate it full screen or on a hard knockdown. The meterless damage is still there lol so what you gotta ex SF now to get cancel advantage in a combo or block string.

 

[dph1990]

So pleased they sped up the bounce back move for Kitana. All we could possibly ask for now is that they might fix her EX db2 from being so easily low profiled and she's perfect. I don't think Tanya got mauled either which is cool. Kinda sucks that Shinnok's pressure isn't as good as it was though!

 

[ForeverKing]

@FOREVER KING plz make a goro thread asap

It looks like that's what it takes to get buffs/nerfs now a days lol. You see all the Devorah players complaining about 1 frame links, they make her links easier. People complain the most about Lao Tanya Shinnok, they're the ones who get nerfed.

I didn't wanna believe it, but it actually seems true. Fuck I should be complaining about Goro way more, I want my Shokan to not lose to every other character in the cast lmao

 

[The Magician]

It's a normalization, the people complaining are sad they can't run away for free or whiff jump ins for free.

 

[Harlequin969]

Basically what happened last patch was they accidentally made her 112 and b1 WC combos a 1-2 frame link, this change should make them almost how they were before(still hard, but not as hard as possible) if it does what I think it does.

Oh good. I'd rather see more D'Vorrah then the mess of Tanya that was CEO.

 

[Rathalos]

6 gigs for a balance patch?

 

[coolwhip]

damn RIP to the shinnok & kung lao block strings. instead of nerfing them, NRS should've made block breakers cost only one bar.

but I am happy as hell about tanya & even happier about kitana

How is making a universal change to a mechanic better than just addressing the two issues pertaining to two particular characters?

 

[EMPEROR PRYCE]

Oh good. I'd rather see more D'Vorrah then the mess of Tanya that was CEO.

Until u see nothing but Dvorah lol


Anyway. This games over patching is really getting irritating. Catering to the players instead of the players leveling up. Simply. Tiers run this fucking game and its dragging it straight to the ground.

 

[TrulyAmiracle]

If by "7 damage" they mean 7%, it now does 16%, which is only 1% less than EX bf4.

Amazing.. still death on block and still not worth the bar, Best buff~

 

[ScorpionMaster]

lmao... all these plebs crying about shinnok nerfs when he's still top 8.

 

[cR WoundCowboy]

Once again, the people who whine get what they want. This is super disappointing.

 

[Devin Thorn]

Would someone explain why the Liu Kang FF fix isn't going to kill him? I feel I lack that respected voice in the community because I haven't been here long. But seriously people overreact to patches way too much
