Some patch details via NRS stream

You havent looked at all then Voncroy. Danc.o.c.k(take the dots outXD) Jedirobb and Delriach are all very good Sindel tourney players. They have all pretty much dropped her though because at tourneys they say her whole game is based off of a 50/50 guess, so they got tired of it.

P.S. Levitate is super unsafe, even when canceled. Ill use it to fake opponents out sometimes, but it isnt really a good move at all.

MK9 sold didn't 3 million copies because Tom Brady was one of the beta testers, they bought it because it was a nostalgic game being updated for the new decade and it looked awesome, and marketed by Warner Bros. Even in the grimdark days when the series looked and played like crap, millions still bought the game. The tournament scene has almost no impact upon exposure or public mindshare of the game. It would be like believing that millions of people buy Hyundais because Mario Andretti made a couple commercials driving one.

MK's focus on improving the gameplay was part and parcel of the revamp spirit in this reboot, and it served them well, but if all these 50 tournament players beta tested the game behind closed doors and no one saw any tournaments, the game would not suffer. Let's not go crazy overestimating the importance of these guys.

Right.... The only reason I even love this game is because of how hard they are trying to make it tournament worthy. I didn't even play MKA or MKvsDC in a person vs person match. you know why? Because it's unplayable at a high level. I'm not interested in a game with infinites and gimmicks where it's 50/50 into your whole life bar. Mortal Kombat has a great name, where people will buy it regardless... So why not live up to it?

Sorry but... as inconsistent as online is. It should not be based on that. And balance should always be done based on the highest level of play. Why? Because if it's balanced at the highest level. That means the lower level players who find someone/something broken, it means it's not broken... they just have alot to learn.

PLEASE NRS. Don't become blizzard at the start of Starcraft 2 Release where they were pretty much just nerfing anything anyone cried about before people had a chance to learn how to beat it.

Kung lao's spin was punishable by full combo to begin with. So... All they did was make it more newbie friendly to punish. whoopde doo? I say recovery frames on low hat will destroy that loop so that's nice.



EDIT:
I bet if you take a noobie and ask them to make a tier list... It's going to look WAY different than a pro's. And that's becaue the newbie has a lot to learn. I'd be really depressed if they started catering toward newbies whining. The higher level players are necessary for a balanced game.

Or unless you like playing against kung lao/raiden 24/7. The high level attention is necessary.

In a case where raiden's teleport is broken online but not broken offline.... Well that's a slippery one.

To satisfy both communities... I'd be down with a online nerf only for something.

Sure that'd mess people up who switch. But offline people tend to be offline, while online tends to be online.

Although I swap between both, i'd rather offline be the one with the attention. It's the one that shows true skill.

I agree her low grab needs a buff, it needs to be faster and/or have more range. If by "high" you mean her anti air, it needs to be faster. It has virtually no priority over jp or jk, like say, KL or Barakas spin does, and is only worth using in a juggle or the ex version.

I believe Stryker is getting his grenades buffed, as Ray90 pointed out.

Sindel doesn't need that float at all. She is getting armour on Ex Cartwheel now..

Baraka, I definitely agree that his blade charge should go full screen. It does have high armour properties which is good, but range like JC kick would be nice. His chop chop is fine, just need to practice his combos more ;)

But isn't Sindel's Cartwheel already like Kabal's Low Ground Blades? Like invulnerable for any frames or something like that. I can never hit her out of it.

And I thought that Baraka's Chop Chop kan only be komboed off a Blade Charge. I meant that they should've patched it so that they are hit into the air long enough to be Blade Spinned too. Just a thought. I guess your able?

ur over exagerrating it. its not that serious. f3 2 still leaves you at a fram advantahe on block or hit. plus its easier to hit confirm into nutpunch with f3 3 anyways. he is still the exact same person and will still be s tier
 
Absolutely loving the Reptile NERF, that dash is IMPOSSIBLE to punish online! GOOD NRS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Time for a drink

I don't care. I could count on one hand people who *****ed about 3,1, special. Its a hugely uncessary nerf and it completely changes the way I've played Cage since May.

**** that noise.

BTW before you guys go on Cage-is-S-Tier rant, educate yourselves http://testyourmight.com/forum/showthread.php?11060-Why-Cage-isnt-S-Tier-Why-Sonya-Is-S-Tier

ur not a true johnny player then. just because f3 2 isn't special cancellable anymore doesn't mean it'll change the way he plays. it still has frame advantage on hit and block. he still has frame advantage or safe block strings that are still special cancellable. still has frame traps. still has trick throws. stll has nut punch. still lightning quick. still has ome of the strongest xrays in the game that can lead up to morr than 50% damage if u combo after it. still a corner combo freak. surely u get my gist. he is still gonna be s tier and if ur crying because one of his many safe and frame advantage block strings aren't special cancellable anymore, then just stop using him.
 
Sindel has been nerfed 3 times, quit yer *****in' Johnny Cage players! This+TYM is the most *****ing about a RUMORED nerf i have ever heard.

Maybe if the reptile player I a scrub and doesn't know he has advantage and can block before u can try and punish. I honestly dnt know how u can say its punishable.
Click to expand...

its punishable dude, its punishable. I can punish it with 2 1 with kitana and that leads into her godly juggles. its -15 on block so that's enough time to punish it. if u can't get a combo out, just throw him. trust me, its punishable
