Johnny and PM needed it, let's be honest that Final Kombat top 8 was absolute dogshit, probably one of the worst finals I've ever seen in FG history . Nitaras buff is solid tho, she needed that.
Those where good nerfs but saying the jhonny nerfs it’s just a “step in the right direction” when his best kameos have already been nerfed, he has low health, an even weaker defense against zoners and a bad neutral is wild
@@Geanfranco1010Johnny and the words “bad neutral” should never be in the same sentence. Still has a 9F advancing mid. Still has the best buttons in the game. Still has the best/second best movement in the game. Still has the best synergy with Khameleon. Just yapping to yap. Also Khameleon nerfs did nothing b/c her cooldowns are still broken & Stryker just got buffed.

Ig all of them got skill issues too?
RIGHT? I meam they could have made b2 just 1 frame faster but they buffed s3 and especially s4 which is like his most useless tool? While his 22 hitbox is still really wonky?
As a reptile main this felt like quality of life changes rather than buffs. Back 2 being safe should have been there, and the only other meaningful change was 2,4 and F2,4 being safe. 😐feels like we were two steps back and Nrs just put us two steps forward. Same with the rest of the changes mostly.
Honestly charged back 2 being plus is great, this is probably the most he’s going to get. But it makes Rep/Khameleon and Rep/Sonya really dangerous now with both safe low and overhead launchers
The changes to reptile were BIG. The tail move of 2,4 being safe now adds so much needed safety to his mix up game, since he has major problems opening people up without invisibilty ans giving his turn all time. REPTILE/Sonya will work pretty good
LOL call me crazy but I feel like they don't touch Johnny because they have a Van Damme skin... Mortal Kombat was made for Van Damme back in the day.. maybe he negotiated he has to be the best person in the game LOL Only reason I can think of why they keep him so strong
Havik's itty-bitty buffs to his standing kicks may be marginal, but little changes like that actually speed up the game. Plus, I 'm just a personal fan of "less bad" buffs for how rinky-dink they are. If NRS was willing to do that with more characters with (a lot) more moves, just like they did with Scorpion's F3,4 it'd add up to help speed up the game, even if just a little bit. Still, they need to step up to the plate and buff kameos like Frost and Darrius like they did with Sonya.
@@jerrod9009 No, ninja will be happy, because he will be able to return back to Liu. Of course he had to play peacemaker on last tournament, because he's broken.
buff ideas, spread the word Havoc: He needs at least five new attack strings, he needs his legacy move that titan havoc has were he takes off his head and rolls it but its a mid, has the same affect as reptiles acid ball, and also hits mid exploding on contact. he also needs another one of his legacy moves that again titan havoc has where he bends his hole body for a low projectile and the amp of that can be a knock down allowing for combo extentions for cameos like scorpion Sub-zero: he needs his attack strings made slightly faster except for his overhead, he also needs 1 or 2 new attack string launchers, both his regular and amp iceball needs to be faster to not only be able to combo with it off of normal attack strings but in juggle combos too. He should have the ability to throw his ice clone, i also think he should have his ice burst special back with the same proporties as mkx to compliment his ice clone(but just does not send you that far away). lastly he needs some of his damage scailing off ground freeze. Scorpion: should be buffed by making his amp ground tp a launcher again and make the cancel built in to both his regular and amp tp. buff the amp hellfire move by removing the damage over time and making it function like how it does in mkx allowing him to combo after hitting it. he needs new strings some mix ups(i personally want his mkx overhead back). some moves need to be sped up Quan shi: needs his mind control move from mkx back, and make half his attack strings faster. and finally his low tentacle needs to be one bar Raiden: change raiden's b2 back to the mkx launcher but make it as slow as sub'z b2. give him back his vicinity blast move back with the same properties as mkx. Give him back his mkx amp lightning projectile back for combo extentions but have his regular fully charged move have the same proportys as the amp. he also needs to be buffed by making his amp electrocute special launch no matter how many bars he uses liu kang: for starters nerf his f4 one button pressure but give him his 113 mkx launcher back along with maybe 2 or 3 more new attack strings to make up for his pressure and to make it less braindead. make his low fireball slightly faster, change his air fireball to the mkx fireball and the amp the one we have now. give him back his mk 11 dragon parry, and finally make his fatal blow start up 2 hits but the first one restands kung lao: nerf tf out of his wake up special by making it unsafe af on block. give him back his mkx or 9 spin back but have it have work the same as mk11 so he can use it more than two times in a combo. swap his dive kick now for a mix between his mkx or 9 dive kick. he needs his mkx tp, and his low hat back, but nerf his mix up buttion's he has now by making the overhead follow up slightly slower. give him his mk11 21212 attack string and his mkx 44 launcher attack string back. and also he needs his hat spin. Nitara: buff her by making her command dash like homelander so for instance all of her normal attack strings that leaves her in the air cost no bar anymore to command dash and it cost no bar when she is in the air command dashing for combos but the next one after that does. and also make fer overhead that leaver her in the air slightly faster. she should also be able plus after hitting her bf2 special allowing her to cameo combo after it. lastly give her back her legacy projectile move back. Reiko: give him his invasion boss special move, the one is like jades dead butterfly move from mk11 but it launches and he uses his spear(this is already in the game files btw). give this guy at least 1 more special move that involes his knife that's on his person but he never uses for some reason. he needs like 5 new normal attack stings involving his knife and his spear, maybe 2 of them be launchers. smoke: give him his smoke cloud move back from mk9, along having it hit low but have the same start up as the one he got now. make his command dash special cancelable anywhere instead of just near yr opponent. also another command dash sending him backwards but the max distance is half screen but he can cancel it at any time during that animation too. and lastly make it easyer to do ground combos after his amp db 4 special. Reptile: give him his acid pool amp special move back but make the amp the special and make the amp of that last longer along with his claw swipe move from mk x. give him 3 to 4 attack stings and have at least one be a launcher and at least 2 be for mixup followups. and lastly allow him to move after doing his forceball just a tad bit more almost like how mkx was but just not as broken Li mei: 4 or 5 new attack strings, 2 a launchers 1 plus frame one, the rest strings into lows. she needs a new special that let's you command detonate her lantern with one fast motion, fast enuf to do it mid combo. change her base air overhead special hit reaction on airborne opponents, instead of a knockdown it leaves li mei grounded and the opponent in the air allowing for combos like how she could in 3d mk games. also give her back her overhead command special and the amp allow for ground combos. and lastly allow her to be able to combo with one amp projectile grounded and in the air. y'all stay tune i got more heat for every character
Glad to see the mid's get some buffs. I play a top 10 character that never gets nerfed or buffed and I like it that way. With that being said ive been wanting to see Geras and reptile get some help just to spruce up the game a bit. Need to help Shang a bit too and maybe another nudge on ol Havik. I play none of these characters but I like to fight and want to have fun. Running into Johnny every other match is still fun, but it would be nice to play somebody else from the cast more often.
Lei Mei can hit here lantern with a projectile by doing the air projectile. That makes the lantern explode and that explosion now hits mid (used to hit high)
Jhonny is the only character i mained since the game came out, al least till they release Takeda, and to be honest i want Johnny to be nerfed. Im tired of everyone saying he is the most broken character. I would just play Johnny for the fun of it, not because he's broken, and that would bring some more variety in the game i guess
@@jle7852 Having no projectiles in this game doesn't matter. Literally anyone can get a projectile. Even if you give johnny a projectile it doesn't change his tier at ALL. He's still the best in the game.
@@godsongregory8221 I agree but they are willing to nerf characters more instead of buffing them, so do the same to Johnny if that is the route they are taking.
As a Havik main (yes we do exist) these don’t change much. His drop dead string having more recovery means he might have some new combo routes but he has an 18 fram start up on his mid and can’t open people up to save his life.
Fellow Havik Main here Imagine if they did something like making his projectiles not be destroyed when he gets hit, or make back forward 2 an actual command grab? That would be nice.
For the Li mei sky lantern one you have to do her air fireball and hit the lantern. It would make the lantern drop lower to the ground but it was still a high. Now when you do that it becomes a mid
Peacemaker nerfs are huge but most people are gonna cover with Kameo no one is popping force field dead in your face. That up and away chip was needed tho
For people saying why didn't Johnny get the peacemaker treatment, it's because they would rather nerf a guest character to the ground rather than nerfing one of the MK characters.
@@Twisted_Ozzy because he doesn't need it he's been nerfed before. I swear you idiots want every character to be nerfed into the ground so you can get easy wins,then cry for buff then cry when the character gets buffed and you can't beat him online. Typically mk casual. Smh
I like this game, one of my favorite mk's, alot of people paint it to be way worse but it's the opposite, damn near each character is copy and paste flow of previous games Kung lao mk11 bf2amp with right kameo if u3 from mk11 Ermac is mk10 u can't poke his mid kills u Radien is mk9 All is just I love the game the patch forsure is step towards many more
Khameleon need to meditate like shujinko that will be a fair nerf And secondly Kung Lao need a buff And lastly the f4 of Liu kang is less than 12 frames start up they need to nerf it too
Imma a scorpion main and the changes were kinda useless.. he was already safe off forward 1,3. the cancel frames are Eh at best bc he could already cancel into specials and an another forward 3 safely..
As a Peacemaker main he’s u playable now. Bad damage unsafe, slow strings. The make the most fun characters awful and don’t do hardly shit for Sub-Zero, or even look at Khameleon but nerf Stryker ??
Sub-Zero Needs a damage buff, and at least a new move or or a faster overhead. Even with Scorpion tho I prefer sub zero, I must admit also that scorpion needs a buff also, they are the face of mortal Kombat. Sub zero always get treated like that, but I'm shocked with Scorpion
I strongly disagree. Sub in the right hands is a menace. I hear you that his overhead is slow but come on..Every character needs unsafe moves with high reward to balance the game 😂
The fact they the most annoying thing in this game un my opinion is everything being safe because of cameos and they make more cameos that benefit that is so baffling
Subzeros Synergy with Khameleon is so insane that if they buff sub too much he will become insane. I already think he’s a really strong character the main thing that needs buffing is the subzero players.
Fuck peacemaker. The only reason you feel it’s too much of a nerf to peacemaker it’s because EVERYTHING he did was broken. Safe Force field at the of BnB, 5% chip from overhead drop on block, spamming very hard to react and at times hard to punish torpedo, Eagle at the end of every combo on block to be safe.
@@josepgz7480 that’s a skill issue, you can easily out space him and with shadow kick nerfed he can’t control neutral that well and with his best kameos taking more life out of him It’d be dumb to waste 2 meters for like a 33ish% combo
@@NickopzTV why not? It’s an armored launcher that takes 2 bars, a kameo meter, has 0 pushback, it’s -21 on block and 52 on wiff and it doesn’t give you that much damage unless u have hype. If anything it should be replicated to other characters
I don’t think Johnny continuously needs to be nerfed cause then they’ll make him unusable. I think these nerfs are fine but I hope they focus on buffing other characters instead
Dude I get the meta argument, but I can’t stop playing this game. I think you’re spending way too much time in “meta KL hell” 🤣 I do hope they actually balance/buff the majority of the cast after EVO. I guarantee they’re waiting til after that to lay it on us 😏
@@NickopzTV Wouldn’t that be contradictory to say? That means they’re meta, meaning they’ll get the most play bc of their kit. nonetheless I don’t see how ppl are running into trouble against that team, after obtaining matchup experience I very rarely lose to JC and Kham even with the gimmicks
@@BdaMoneyMaker The meaning of meta - In essence, a "meta" in gaming terminology is a generally agreed upon strategy by the community. The community thinks johnny and peace were in a tier of there own. With peace getting nerfed now johnny is the meta. This is a rare case in gaming where there is no reason to play anyone else but johnny if you are trying to be or compete with the best of the best. That is why you saw a johnny mirror at final kombat. And why you will see multiple johnnys in top 8 at evo.
This patch is so trash, scorpion is strong already and giving him more is just redundant, peacemaker doesn’t deserve nerfs after already being nerfed twice
@@NickopzTV his 2, 1 string is as good as general shao’s 2, 2 and his spear is a good zoning tool that gives you full combos on hit, his synergy with khameleon is so good
@skull_reviews4964 His synergy with Kham is ok. I agree with everything else but that doesn't change the fact he's the worst character in the game. Kham is broken and doesn't even make him top tier. That says a lot. There is still no reason to play scorpion in this game. Just play Ashrah, Shao, kitana, ect. They all do what he wants to do but better. And Kham makes them all top tier. Unlike scorpion.
By nerfing the two best kharacters (Johhny and Peacemaker) the game is dead to me now, instead of buffing other kharacters, they make them weak and not fun to use. The same thing goes to kameos, make them to the same level of fun and make them strong as Khameleon.
It’s called making them more fair you clown they are still top tier 😭 these characters were so strong they had 0 bad matchups and bodied the entire cast. No buff are gonna make reptile that strong.
This argument makes no sense, buff everyone to balance, nerf everyone (who needs it) to balance, it’s the same outcome, balance, go play with your doodle then.
As a reptile main this felt like quality of life changes rather than buffs. Back 2 being safe should have been there, and the only other meaningful change was 2,4 and F2,4 being safe. 😐feels like we were two steps back and Nrs just put us two steps forward. Same with the rest of the changes mostly.

li mei main here the ariel project would hit lantern the opponent can just duck now they’re forced to block
Which makes that lantern more useful at full screen
Li Mei Lantern change is when you hit the lantern with the air fireball.
Nitara deserved more. Still loved Sonya, Reptile, Scorpion buffs. Stryker has an interesting change too
yeah, nitara string wasnt cancelable before after the full string. now you can stagger a bit
As a Havik main (yes we do exist) these don’t change much. His drop dead string having more recovery means he might have some new combo routes but he has an 18 fram start up on his mid and can’t open people up to save his life.
Fellow Havik Main here
Imagine if they did something like making his projectiles not be destroyed when he gets hit, or make back forward 2 an actual command grab? That would be nice.
Nitara couldn’t hit confirm that string before but this buff isn’t what she needed imo. She needs more health and a mid armor.
For the Li mei sky lantern one you have to do her air fireball and hit the lantern. It would make the lantern drop lower to the ground but it was still a high. Now when you do that it becomes a mid
Super stoked about Sonya's leg grab since one of my main partners are Mileena/Sonya
Inevitable is the snap not hourglass charge
Nitara 12 could be dialed in with 1212 which is unsafe or 124 which is safe with a gap between 2 and 4 . You couldn't cancel using 124.
Can General Shao get anything? Like atleast a reduction in startup on his piss poor projectile, or a 12 frame mid rather than a 14?
1:15 this is wayyyyy better because it actually use to hit barely a dash distance away.

The li mei buffs are good you read the sky lantern hits mid not the ground version
The gaps kill sub-zero's changes.
Drop dead full combos with Mavado, with only a 50 point health drop, this team is gonna do things.
Imma a scorpion main and the changes were kinda useless.. he was already safe off forward 1,3. the cancel frames are Eh at best bc he could already cancel into specials and an another forward 3 safely..
i dont think no character needs nerfs just buff everyone and make them insane
The havik buff is nice, but nah, all in all, he basically didn't change at all... buff havik plzzzz
Bro Sonya overhead still launches 🚀 wow
Sub zero is already annoying and buff sonya by making her a main roster character
What!?!?!? I can't just torpedo in neutral with 0 consequences!?!?!?!
They did peacemaker way too dirty
As a Peacemaker main he’s u playable now. Bad damage unsafe, slow strings. The make the most fun characters awful and don’t do hardly shit for Sub-Zero, or even look at Khameleon but nerf Stryker ??
I’m happy with the Sonya buff
Sub-Zero Needs a damage buff, and at least a new move or or a faster overhead. Even with Scorpion tho I prefer sub zero, I must admit also that scorpion needs a buff also, they are the face of mortal Kombat. Sub zero always get treated like that, but I'm shocked with Scorpion
I strongly disagree. Sub in the right hands is a menace. I hear you that his overhead is slow but come on..Every character needs unsafe moves with high reward to balance the game 😂
@@sinclairmooreyou can say that about any character still doesn’t change the fact that subs damage is mid asf
Yall please run a ft5 nitara scorpion especially after the buff
The fact they the most annoying thing in this game un my opinion is everything being safe because of cameos and they make more cameos that benefit that is so baffling
Is mk1 worth buying for pve or solo content alone
Hard no.
Subzeros Synergy with Khameleon is so insane that if they buff sub too much he will become insane. I already think he’s a really strong character the main thing that needs buffing is the subzero players.
Sub is really bad without khameleon
Yes without kam. He doesn't have many tools
@@Icyy22i think hes amazing with janet
bro y’all saying without kham, y’all do not know how to be patient and actually strategise with subzero lmao
Buff your poster childs nrs, sub and scorpion
😢😢😢 Me as a Kitana main!! No overhead still and they tweak her 😢
Fuck peacemaker. The only reason you feel it’s too much of a nerf to peacemaker it’s because EVERYTHING he did was broken. Safe Force field at the of BnB, 5% chip from overhead drop on block, spamming very hard to react and at times hard to punish torpedo, Eagle at the end of every combo on block to be safe.
Nice. Its never enough. They should probably stop development
Nobody better not pick up sonya kameo i been using her day 1 😂 with kitana and lu kang
But they keep forgetting about the issue #1 of this game.... Sento
Why do they change so little at a time wtf it’s 2024 they should have been had these characters balanced .. what’s the hold up
This patch brought back the black screen glitch 😂😂 bruh whats going on with this game ??
Idk about li mei. Alot of people are playing her and rewind has been maining her lately.
we need more buffs not nerfs
Why would you want them to nerf enhanced nut punch, it already takes 2 bars of meter 💀
Cause he op as fuck, bro don’t need meter if you can’t hit him in the first place
he shouldnt have it in the first place.
@@josepgz7480 that’s a skill issue, you can easily out space him and with shadow kick nerfed he can’t control neutral that well and with his best kameos taking more life out of him It’d be dumb to waste 2 meters for like a 33ish% combo
@@NickopzTV why not? It’s an armored launcher that takes 2 bars, a kameo meter, has 0 pushback, it’s -21 on block and 52 on wiff and it doesn’t give you that much damage unless u have hype. If anything it should be replicated to other characters
@@Geanfranco1010 Because he already has armor and a parry and the best offense in the game??
All this is just stalling for the eventual Ultimate Mortal Kombat 1 where they'll sell you a cast that is actually buffed in a meaningful way.
Peacmaker is good though
@4:04 this guy always complains about nerfs. But when it comes to Johnny's nerf it becomes a step in the right direction 😂 @Nickopz
U said right at the end of the video, this patch is not gonna make me play the game at all ,lackluster patch ,I'll just wait for tekada, garbage patch
Ninja and unjust are getting destroyed now😂
Ninja don't need PM
@@NickopzTV combo breaker and final
Kombat say otherwise
does he know the meaning of "the worst"?
what are you talking about?
As a scorpion main I can tell you he’s not bottom one far from it
I forgot Geras was even in the game lol
I don’t think Johnny continuously needs to be nerfed cause then they’ll make him unusable. I think these nerfs are fine but I hope they focus on buffing other characters instead
Dude I get the meta argument, but I can’t stop playing this game. I think you’re spending way too much time in “meta KL hell” 🤣 I do hope they actually balance/buff the majority of the cast after EVO. I guarantee they’re waiting til after that to lay it on us 😏
meta doesn't even matter anymore. johnny and kham are in a tier of there own. Nothing beats either of them.
@@NickopzTV well I’m hoping it’ll be a little more balanced soon… 🙄 I feel like they know it, just don’t wanna kill any characters…
Final kombat was dog💩 full of peacemaker torpedo yolo 💩 Jhonny vs peacemaker or mirror matches between PM and Jhonny 😂
Come on don't nerf johnny again 🤦🏽🤷
these slap on the wrist mean nothing
That microphone is way to quite. But thanks for the visualisation of the patch to make morons like me understand
lol
I think sub zero needs some damage
Nerfed my boy because people like to whine too much. Learn the game
Any character that isn’t Meta is boring or uninteresting, Copy
meta doesn't matter in this game anymore. johnny and kham are in a tier of their own.
@@NickopzTV Wouldn’t that be contradictory to say? That means they’re meta, meaning they’ll get the most play bc of their kit. nonetheless I don’t see how ppl are running into trouble against that team, after obtaining matchup experience I very rarely lose to JC and Kham even with the gimmicks
@@BdaMoneyMaker The meaning of meta - In essence, a "meta" in gaming terminology is a generally agreed upon strategy by the community. The community thinks johnny and peace were in a tier of there own. With peace getting nerfed now johnny is the meta. This is a rare case in gaming where there is no reason to play anyone else but johnny if you are trying to be or compete with the best of the best. That is why you saw a johnny mirror at final kombat. And why you will see multiple johnnys in top 8 at evo.
wtf was those Geras “buffs”?! Still no mid staggers? Wtf is that
This was very disappointing patch
This patch is so trash, scorpion is strong already and giving him more is just redundant, peacemaker doesn’t deserve nerfs after already being nerfed twice
scorpion is the worst character in the game
@@NickopzTV his 2, 1 string is as good as general shao’s 2, 2 and his spear is a good zoning tool that gives you full combos on hit, his synergy with khameleon is so good
@skull_reviews4964 His synergy with Kham is ok. I agree with everything else but that doesn't change the fact he's the worst character in the game. Kham is broken and doesn't even make him top tier. That says a lot. There is still no reason to play scorpion in this game. Just play Ashrah, Shao, kitana, ect. They all do what he wants to do but better. And Kham makes them all top tier. Unlike scorpion.
By nerfing the two best kharacters (Johhny and Peacemaker) the game is dead to me now, instead of buffing other kharacters, they make them weak and not fun to use. The same thing goes to kameos, make them to the same level of fun and make them strong as Khameleon.
It’s called making them more fair you clown they are still top tier 😭 these characters were so strong they had 0 bad matchups and bodied the entire cast. No buff are gonna make reptile that strong.
@@josepgz7480Peacemaker isn’t top tier anymore
Their was nothing wrong with peacemaker I really don’t understand this 😂
This argument makes no sense, buff everyone to balance, nerf everyone (who needs it) to balance, it’s the same outcome, balance, go play with your doodle then.
Pointless comment
W patch TBH
the first w after a year which is a small one
But still a W
As a reptile main this felt like quality of life changes rather than buffs. Back 2 being safe should have been there, and the only other meaningful change was 2,4 and F2,4 being safe.
😐feels like we were two steps back and Nrs just put us two steps forward. Same with the rest of the changes mostly.
