Okay, these notes are “firm” and scheduled to hit this Tuesday. Mind you that this is not the full list or may not be the full list and to keep an eye on www.themortalkombat.com for them to release the full list officially in due time.

What’s the asterisk noting for improved netplay? Is this a real patch (aka the netcode patch we’re all desperate for) or just a hotfix that will improve server stability or something?
From STORMS:
“Nothing, it was just added in… meaning, “Improved Netplay” was added to the notes. That’s why I put it at the end because it didn’t fit anywhere else.”
You have absolutely no way of knowing if he’s still good or not. Tournament play has revolved heavily around the guaranteed mixup after stomp. It was cool and definitely not OP given how low Quan’s damage is. No clue why they decided it needs to go.
Watch REO playing as Quan Chi vs. THTD and you’ll see that Quan was FAR from weak. Remember, a lot of the MK vets that playtested this game know shit that no one else knows.
Quan Chi has major problems, including terrible wakeup defense and generally unsafe playstyle. That was my first time playing vs a good Quan Chi, so I didn’t know what the fuck to do lol.
20. raiden no longer has adv after b312 and 334 are blocked. he is now at -1
Anybody know what the frame advantage was before? I’m just wondering if you can still “frame trap” with a cr.1 but maybe just the timing is tighter.*******
But they didn’t. NRS NEVER set a date for the patch. It was only a rumor.
Also that asterix means nothing literally. It’s just to signify that it was added to the notes after the article already went up. Come on guy, I mentioned it right in the third post of this thread.
