so who are the hardest characters to play from an execution standpoint?

Shang Tsung for starters.

don’t know why the stealth patch thread got closed, THE STEALTH PATCH IS OUT. restart your xbox, gentlemen. exiting the game doesn’t seem to be enough.

i just played lots of matches online, no patch applied.
i rebooted my 360.

kano’s f+FK is a low.
cyrax resets are still in. don’t know about the bomb trap, didn’t test that one.
looks like a global damage nerf (edit: actually, some character’s damage output has been left untouched, for example jax). sub’s bnb now does 38%, down from 41%, ermac’s j.P-BP-BP-teleslam, j.K-tele, dash BP-BP-force push does 1% less, and combo into x-ray instead of force push does 2% less than before, kung lao j.P-FP-FP-BP-spin, walk, jump up j.P, dash FP, dash FP, dash FP, dash BP-BK-FP+FK, BP followup now 32%, formerly 36%.

edit:

baraka now recovers quicker after b+FK-FP. corner j.P-b+FK-BP, jump up j.P, b+FK-FP, b+FK-FP-f+FP does 37%. New midscreen combo j.P-b+FK-FP, dash b+FK-FP, dash FP-QCF+FP(9 hits, 30%)
baraka lost his special cancel on f+BK.

edit: not a global damage nerf as i thought at first. jax and shang tsung#s damage is the same, for example.

AtTheGates · May 21, 2011, 2:11am

How do you unlock stage fatalities? I’m trying not to spoil the game and play it as a semi-campy single player game aside from local vs., but I cant figure out how to unlock them…

Imma go with reptile.

Robo-mitsu · May 24, 2011, 6:07am

Nerf Kung Lao. Yes. Nerf Smoke. Okay. Nerf Sub? FUUUUUUUUUCK.

Blood_Feast · May 24, 2011, 8:42am

Kung Lao and Sub Zero are still S tier characters. Don’t even fucking trip.

Robo-mitsu · May 24, 2011, 3:20pm

Where did I say they weren’t?

Lord_Raptor · May 24, 2011, 8:33pm

All they did was bring his damage down a bit, he can still zone like a champ.

Shoryu_Reppa · May 25, 2011, 4:29am

A few of them are unlock playing through challenge tower. For the others you have to figure them out yourself

xStingy · May 25, 2011, 6:04pm
