I was the original poster of this thread. The patch is still not in effect for us yet. It was used in the NRS tournament but it isn't officially out yet.

Freddy got alot of nerfs to his infinities/resets/block stun moves.
Kung lao spin got nerfed hopefully to all hell and his low hat is VERY punishable with slower recovery frames which also removes the block stun infinite Kung lao has. (thats a glitch and perfect legend used it to beat REO in the finals... no respect for him)

As for the person talking about kano upball, that been nerfed a long time ago and is punishable by an uppercut from almost any character now.

Cyrax bomb trap been nerfed a long time ago too.

Reptile's elbow dash and Kung laos Lowhat and spin are the ONLY problems I have with this game and they are BOTH being nerfed. The game might be PERFECT next update.

Raiden's tele and combos are also slower from last update so he been fixed already. Just waiting on Kung Lao and Reptile to be nerfed then this game will be 100% perfect......

Well, The DLC should be mandatory in a patch like Freddy was...... Why the Hell do you need a comp pack installed from the PS store to play as rain skarlett and Kenshi that i PAID 15 BUCKS FOR..... But EVERYONE who brought Freddy can use him 100% all the time?
I got ripped off and scammed by NRS, Hopefully they fix that and game will be perfect again.

-----------------

On a sidenote, I seen experts use ALL the characters in the game and can tell you that they are ALL good in the right hands except maybe Sheeva lol.

My only complaints are 3 characters in this game right now currently.

1.Kung lao, Overpowered. (nerf next update)
2.Reptile, Elbow Dash overpowered (nerf next update)
3.Sheeva (underpowered, even in the hands of expert players).

Everyone else in the game is perfectly fine.

If you get the opponent in a corner, you can do it 5 times in the same combo.

five times is not equal to infinity -__-

I disagree. I use Sheeva a lot and I feel she's already perfect. She could probably use a little speed as well as Baraka, but other than that keep her the way she is.

I do great with her.

Sheeva should have it where she can cancel out of her ground pound for baiting and mind games and a moderate boost inspeed and she'd be great, Jax is a powerhouse grappler and he seems so much more mobile.

This too. I cannot believe she doesn't have that.

Nor does it need to be nerfed.

Scorpion reset needs to go man it is a pain.

Are you talking about his 50/50 spear reset after teleport?

Do you mean his vortex game?

spear -> F+BP, FP, teleport -> low/mid mix-up into spear -> F+BP, FP, teleport -> low/mid mix-up and so on...


Ever since I found out about his vortex game I started to enjoy playing as Scorpion. Before that, ugh...

It can be really annoying to get caught in it, but it's not broken.

He's no different than any other fighter with a high a low attack. You ever fought a good Quan Chi player? 50/50's all day with less risk.

The game after this patch literally seems perfect with every fix that was needed.

Only missing 2 things that I can think of in my head currently.

-Sheeva should be able to cancel ground stomp.
-DLC should be MANDATORY like Freddy's patch was. I can NEVER USE RAIN cause noone has the comp pack EVER. This isn't right.

I agree with you but my thoughts on why it wont get removed is... Scorpion is NRS's poster boy so he needs a super easy reset combo that can do like 60% to make him tournament viable or else he wont get picked in tournys (he still doesn't get picked btw) This is why I think it hasn't been removed its been discovered a few patches ago and well it is scorpion we're talking about and we all know who Ed's favorite character is dont we?

ive seen expert ai kung lao, he's easy to beat just duck and uppercut cos of his teleporting n a ranged attack like strykers gun can stop him mid spin...

he's still one of my most ferocious mains.
