** STBL ** EXCLUSIVE Mk9 Patch Tweeks/nefs/buffs TONITE!!

Vulcan Hades said:
I don't see how anyone can disagree with the fixes. It all seems good and legit to me. How can you even complain when the game was so broken to begin with. MK9 can only get better seriously. Balance changes are a good thing. Especially when it's mostly glitch fixing and buffing. Even characters that got damage nerf wasn't really uncalled for.

I thought Kabal's damage nerf was kinda uncalled for - Ermac and Kung Lao especially definitely need it more, but I guess that's because I'm attached to Kabal because he's my main - but he already does pretty low damage midscreens, even if he has a free combo starter.

Post by Permodius outlines the new Baraka:

I'm loving him! He is more viable now and is what he was supposed to be, a rush-down/mix-up character with little tools against zoners. His B3,1 actually launches high enough to be followed up with another B3,1. He can finally break 29% mid-screen and meterless, and I've only been messing with him for 10 minutes. This is the combo: j.1/2, B3, 1, Dash(Buffer), B3, 1, Dash(Buffer), 1, df1. If I thought of this in 10 minutes imagine what others will discover by the end of the day. I don't know how his specials were changed yet though, or even if they were. One nerf that I found is that he cannot special cancel his F4 anymore, not even X-Rays will work. His general damage was increased too, because combos that I did before are doing more damage. Like this combo for example, j.1/2, 2, 2, 1+2, Dash, F4, 4, df2 (Does 32% damage and did 29% prior to the buff, timing is strict). He has more overheads now! His F2 is now an overhead, including all its combo variants. He also has two low, high, medium strings: B3, 1, F1 and B3, 2, 2. If you guys know anything I don't please post it here. I am sure there are things I still haven't discovered about the new Baraka. It would also help if you guys posted any good combos you have found. I am so glad that NR listened to us!

A corner combo for Baraka can go as follow. J+2, b3,1 b3,1 b3,1 b3,1 EX Chop Chop = 15 hits, 42% damage

Wow, I didn't know that.

This could potentially make Baraka a seriously good mixup character. Can't wait to try him out. :)
 
Sub-Zero had a 62% damage combo before. Now the maximum he can do is 53%.

But one good thing though is that you don't need to do super-complex combos with him anymore. They all do pretty much the same damage.
 
Also, PS3 servers are still a bit laggy but not as before, sometimes it's actually playable, sometimes I can't do a combo, etc.. I don't know if this patch modifed the netcode,though. Now sleep time here in Italy, see ya all in 8 hours.. Please post the tweaks! :p
 
I actually was able to do some complex combos online today on PS3 still had lag but was better then before. I actually had fun online. I just hope they do some more polishing to the online netcode and continue to nerf and buff characters that need it. Right now Kung Lao and Ermac need the nerf the most, they are way overpowered its ridiculous.
