That pretentious diva is full of it. But I guess you are right, I hope they buff aas abit more if they hot fix anything just remove the unblockables and game will be perfect.
The fuck are you and whats up with your mega scrub posts?
There was no hotfix.
Watch Cdjr's stream archive for the last weekend. For some reason the frames on the rockets were greatly reduced on the stream console.

Perhaps you should, and perhaps next time do it before posting a bunch of misinformation in the forums.

EX-Hellfire: 27f startup, 4 active, -1 on hit.

There literally isn't a timing that DOESN'T trade into full combo for Sektor, anywhere on the screen
Umm it's not misinformation I know what i saw and have been playing mk since forever, also pretty sure the aura does as you've admitted....

Either way sektor isnt as powerful as people are bitching perhaps they just need to learn the match up instead if crying nerf? Maybe practice?Just a thought, Theres far worse shit in the game....



yepp exactly just what i wanted to say and think word for word, people must at least learn to play neutral and defense again, everyone is running like hell in this game, and now you are calling a good defensive tool braindead? tell me about all your plus and safe strings that has a mixup, restand, unblockable etc etc hahaah, run mash run mash is your thing? where is the skill there? ahaha
Exactly, but you know how tym is people would rather bitch over shit than adapt and learn the match up. It's already been proven that sektor Isnt even the most op cyborg. Lol

ohhh up rockets or whatever its called, yeah theyre like plus 48 on hit( i think) plus 18 on block
They aren't +48 on hit. There's no way. Sektor has way too much time to do something after hitting them with an Up Rockets trade, hitting them from full screen, etc.

Isnt plus 48 enough time to fun fullscreen? Ive been hit from fullscreen, sektor ran up and still got a combo

They should restore tremors uprock and leave sektor alone aside from taking away a few frames of hitstun. Also Tanya should gain "some" of her stuff back they went too far..

Nope. To put it into perspective for you:

Quan's pre-patch hit advantage on Trance was +80 and it's now +46. With Trance in its current state, you don't even have time to summon a bat after landing Trance, which is faster than running up to someone from full screen. I believe +46 gives you juuuust enough time to do a jip.

So, Up Rockets supposedly having only +2 more hit advantage than Trance wouldn't give you enough time to run from full screen.

I'm wondering if each hit of Up Rockets is counted as +48 hit advantage and it stacks on itself. It's like what, 3 hits? That would be upwards of almost +150 hit advantage, which would likely be enough time for him to do what he does.

It's muuuuuuch better than +48 on hit...it's so plus that from full screen you can dash in twice, do a jump in punch and it'll STILL combo.

They should restore Tremor's Up Rock to what it was before and just make it a mid. A "few" frames of hitstun taken from Up Rockets wouldn't be enough. It needs a lot more than that.

For starters the aura does nothing close to it and I made no statement admitting anything of the sort, I was going to say something different about the Aura till you said you clarified you were talking about Hellfire

How, in any way shape or form, does you playing MK for a long time make it anything but complete misinformation when you say something completely wrong? You just said trading with Hellfire leaves you at disadvantage, when it reality it leaves you with enough plus frames to full combo punish from anywhere on the screen, then you admitted you haven't labbed a thing, but now its "you know what you saw" as though it changes the facts of the matter. The fact that you've played MK for ages just makes your attitude towards testing before you talk even worse.

I reckon they'll probably nerf the hit advantage of Up missile. It's so ludicrously plus you don't even need to have reactions to hitconfirm.

However, here we go with the "X character has this so Y character shouldn't have it" again.

Tremor's Up Rock was overhead and set up for a hard to blockable situation a lot. They're not QUITE identical moves.

No but he needs it Ketchup! How can Tremor ever be viable without an overhead/low corner setup that's a hard to blockable and shatters armour!?!?

You thought I meant aura when I said hellfire, but aura stuns the opponent when hit. Hellfire I was referring to on trade, literally at the exact same time Sektor won't be guaranteed to get a free combo, not everyone's trade is the same on hit. Because it's not wrong and you're just coming off as a pretentious elitist, I don't care about "frame numbers" because for one people on here debates about this move being this amount of frames, then next day someone else claims that's wrong and posts their own. I just go by simplicity, what's safe, what's not, can/can't be countered, I don't care about technical bs that's constantly being debated on here regarding individual frames of moves.

Secondly, again though I'm not wrong you're wrong because you're assuming the wrong thing for one. I said hellfire, you say "aura" lol. Because I've spent a lot of time with the game, I just told you I'll say it again, hellfire on trade with Sektor's shower rockets few times during a match I've played I didn't get free teleport into damage. The only reasonable explanation is lag spikes, given the new, improved netcode is million times better. Yes, I know what I saw as in you know actual gameplay? What are you going by exactly? Do you have vids? proof proving me wrong? Til then please be quiet, the fact that your arrogance blinds you to something that's so obvious you're a scorpion player, why are you here in a sektor discussion again?

EDIT:

Ok, few things for one I admit I made one mistake with the variation I was referring to minion grab, which has the same hellfire command Down, Back 2. I was confusing hellfire variation with inferno. My fault there, however I was correct in what I'm referring to...observe.

tremors "hard to blockable" was a HUGE gimmick, you never even had to attempt to try and block it and was full combo punishable without meter and only option tremor had against the people who knew just to hold the down button was to do b322 which is -18 but people just wanted to cry instead of go to lab it.

Your ignorance and spreading of misinformation about Tremor's "hard to blockables" is one thousand times worse, especially when you have built a reputation as one of the community's most trusted players as far as tech is concerned.

And you've built up a reputation as being one of the communities biggest laughing stocks. Yet here you are.

You said, "Hellfire" and I thought, this guy couldn't possibly be saying that he thinks a 27f start up move that is -1 on hit could possibly be a POSITIVE trade for Scorpion with Sektor's Up Missiles. Maybe he meant Flame Aura, heaps of people get the name mixed up? Hence why I said exactly this, copy pasted

"I'm going to assume you meant Scorp's Flame Aura, as his move "Hellfire" literally leaves you negative on HIT?"





Hellfire I was referring to on trade, literally at the exact same time Sektor won't be guaranteed to get a free combo, not everyone's trade is the same on hit.
Well, that's factually incorrect, tried tested and proven incorrect, and you need to STOP positing misinformation simply because you refuse to lab

Because it's not wrong and you're just coming off as a pretentious elitist, I don't care about "frame numbers" because for one people on here debates about this move being this amount of frames, then next day someone else claims that's wrong and posts their own. I just go by simplicity, what's safe, what's not, can/can't be countered, I don't care about technical bs that's constantly being debated on here regarding individual frames of moves.
thats great, and as such your refusal to actually lab/learn things means you are CONSTANTLY posting untested stuff as though its factual, and unsurprising you are constantly getting it wrong. It's not elitism - there is simply no place for this in competitive discussion and you need to stop arguing it, there is no two ways about it, whatever your reasoning for it, you are just unleashing a constant stream of misinformation upon TYM, people who don't know any better than to listen to you are damaged by this and people who do know just have their time wasted. Just take half a minute out, jump in the lab, test if what you are saying is even remotely accurate, then come back and post it on TYM



Secondly, again though I'm not wrong you're wrong because you're assuming the wrong thing for one. I said hellfire, you say "aura" lol.
Yeah you can keep bringing this up but it just makes you look even worse


Because I've spent a lot of time with the game, I just told you I'll say it again, hellfire on trade with Sektor's shower rockets few times during a match I've played I didn't get free teleport into damage.
Then a.) you misplayed and missed a LARGE window to input the teleport no matter how you trade, and b.) this was never your original statement, we werent arguing whether you get full combo on hit for trade you were saying word for word "if you trade with someone like say sub-zero or scorp's hellfire you're stunned just as long if not longer actually". This is undoubtedly wrong, even if you aren't always guaranteed a Teleport (which once again you defintely are, as I will prove shortly).


The only reasonable explanation is lag spikes, given the new, improved netcode is million times better. Yes, I know what I saw as in you know actual gameplay?
Oh so because you missed a substantially large window due to "lag" on this new net code ( :rolleyes: ), that doesn't make it misinformation to say that you are stunned equally as long or longer after trading with a Hellfire, when in reality you at least +38 even at the WORST possible trade time to the frame? It's still misinformation, and someone with your attitude towards the game of refusing to test things because you are "casual", would do well to take it a bit more gracefully when your baseless assumptions are proven wrong by someone who has taken the time out to check.

What are you going by exactly? Do you have vids? proof proving me wrong? Til then please shut up, the fact that your arrogance blinds you to something that's so obvious is kind of sad
Not that it should be necessary for me to make this, as the onus is really on YOU here to spend like 2 minutes in the lab and test it for yourself since you haven't yet, but regardless here is a video showing Scorpion trading Hellfire with Sektor at the latest possible time (after -32 from Takedown), and at the earliest possible time (+5 from blocking a Sektor D1). Any later and Hellfire gets stuffed, any earlier and Rockets get stuffed. Both times have a massive window in between them to full combo punish with Teleport from anywhere on the screen, in the case of the second one I literally have time to backdash (33 frame backdash) and then teabag first, THEN go into the teleport, after trading with EX Hellfire.


You may consider yourself thoroughly proved wrong.

P.S. the irony is real in the last part of your statement.

you're a scorpion player, why are you here in a sektor discussion again?
I don't know, why are you discussing Scorpion in a Sektor discussion? Why are you discussing other characters at all and arguing against it when people call your incorrect statements misinformation, when as you say you haven't even labbed them? Hell why are you even discussing Sektor if you can't be bothered to check the stuff you post about him is right?

Regardless, my obvious answer to your question, is because I'm also playing Sektor. However, I'd also like to answer that I'm an MKX player in a thread about an MKX character, and not everyone is like you and refuses to level up and learn about how other characters work before posting misinformation on both your own character and theirs.

I had rather make people laugh than be ignorant and/or spread misinformation. The expectations for the "tech guy" must be ludicrously low these days.

I have never been referred to as the "tech guy", nor have I ever referred to myself as the "tech guy".

I am the guy that put Sorcerer on the map and pretty much wrote the book with him though, so I guess that counts for something. Keep living in a dream world as usual, Dave.
