Youre starting to sound like tom brady now lol
Did you find something new?!
About Takeda? What do you wanna know?
Just if you've found something new. I haven't come across anything lately.
Hmmk, btw i didn't found anything new right now but feel free to ask something.
Lol, are you going around searching for nerfs? Let the character breathe for at least a week before you run around looking for things to nerf.
So then lower the startup frames since sometimes my flame aura is clearly on the screen yet my opponent still gets right threw it. Also, there is nothing "armored" about it.
No I'm not looking for nerfs, I have a pocket liu kang that I play for fun, but I also do my research. This current buff shot him up the tier list, and I have an eye for broken mechanics. Idk bout you but I want a balanced fighting game. Also, I said flame aura is "practically" like an armored move not that it was. It functions like one on a defensive side, but having that move hit when it's entirely gone from view is rediculous. Only kenjutsu kenshi has the luxury of invisible moves, and it makes sense for him aesthetically.
Lol, "an eye for broken mechanics". Of course Liu builds meter faster because he is the master of block strings in this game; it's his shtick. Also, flame aura is nothing like an armor move no matter how many times you say it. The startup is very long and if I try to use it anywhere near like an armored move I'd get blown up.
By "easily 25%" I take it you are talking about execution, because it feels like 25% is the absolute most you can get off the parry that I know of. As far as the 73 frame window being necessary for the punish window, it's not. Sonya's parry has 4 frame start up and is -36 on block, and it converts for 44% for a meter. Does her parry look OP to you? Because its not at all.
Sonya's parry has half the recovery because it doesn't parry lows. Seems fair.
It also does 20% more damage, hell it does almost 10% more than your most damage WALL combo, which makes it an actual useful trade off for the risk that it runs, which is also much less than a whiffed Ice parry. There is a different between mispredicting a parry and getting D4'd, or mispredicting a parry and sitting there for 73 frames, which is often the difference between the two.
This seems like pretty bad logic to me. "Only have the EX Aura up when you plan to get hit!" That's not how this game works, and it's not something you can predict. If you ARE lucky enough to only get hit whenever you decide to meter it, well then either you got extremely lucky with your decision making in when to EX, or you just outplayed the shit out of your opponent anyway and it was just a worse use of meter than say, Ex-ing a Hammer in Cryo.
Ok now, does that to you sound significantly better than Breaker, which every single character has access to? Hell to me it sounds worse, for many reasons, especially considering breaker can be done at the drop of a dime completely unlike ex-Aura, and completely stops their tempo with a standing reset. This is the problem to me, at very best, it's DEBATABLY better and only situational. It's even easier to argue that it's much worse than Breaker. However, it's extremely hard to argue that it's worth trading off an actual useful variation, for one with a tool that is comparable in power level to Breaker and can be used instead of it, because Breaker is a tool available to EVERYONE.
Look, you clearly speak as though you want imbalance in a fighting game. So let's agree to disagree because I know what I've researched and I'm gonna stand by it. You seem like you're gonna stand by your remarks too because you're afraid your characters might get "normalized" so let it be at that.
Nah dude, @Ares_Supreme got a point. I was with you up till you posted the LK changes. Don't get me wrong, the changes you mentioned seem sensible at first glance all things considered and you aren't asking for a massive nerf, and I won't argue that it's wrong. However, there is a difference between wanting to change things that have been in the game since day one on all platforms, and changing things that have been in the game for one day, on one platform. The reason I won't argue that it's wrong is because I don't know, and neither do you. We have no idea what this will do for Liu Kang, so let's just let it ride for a little bit longer, and you might have a case. Flame Fist is still probably only on the level of Dragon Fire now, it's not even a clean cut best variation, and it's not like DF Lui Kang is making waves in any competitive scene. It's ok for for characters to have things they do remarkably better than other characters, it's not as though LK doesn't do a lot of things remarkably worse than a lot of characters to make up for it.
Someone disagreeing with you doesn't make them wrong. You clearly have issues with opposition and constructive discussion. Also, my characters are constantly getting normalized. Guess what? I don't cry about it at all; I deal with. Hellfire Scorpion is my main. Do some research before throwing out bogus claims. I literally just picked up Flame Fist Liu as I had already been playing Dragon's Fire which is still my second main.
