    I do think he needs a bit of a nerf, but not to his damage, he just needs to be more punishable so people have to actually think more about using his combos, give him more risk to his reward. He's a high damage brute and I love that it suits him perfectly, it just needs counterbalanced and his wreckless bloodlust could be portrayed in making him more punishable.
    I just hope he dosen't get over nerfed.

    • @YMan-zo5kg
      @YMan-zo5kg 8 месяцев назад +7

      Well most of the issue is that cyrax is keeping him safe too often and he’s doing too much chip damage. If you sit and block everything you are kinda screwed and if you get opened up you gotta break. Also he stuffs wakeups with the deceptive low kick and it’s hard to armor through his pressure.

    • @blehblah766
      @blehblah766 8 месяцев назад +2

    • @iandragooo
      @iandragooo 8 месяцев назад

      I mean all parts of his main launcher (B3) are all punishable in various ways. You can easily duck the High of B3,1 so that's already negated. The option that is supposed to poke people ducking the high (with only 7% damage) with B3,2 also leaves you unsafe on block for a full combo and B3 on its own is -14 though Baraka steps back a bit but I've been punished by some characters (ex: Smoke)
      So I don't think Baraka is that safe at all. I really don't see anywhere else where it would be justified to make him unsafe (excluding where you can use Cyrax to keep him safe, just talking about Baraka on his own)

It almost seems impossible that with all their years of experience that they release characters as broken as barka and johnny. Like Baraka has every possible tool, safe mix ups, an insane jump in punch, huge back dash with far reaching normals, massive damage and he can combo off his throws? They're doing too much.

  • @zanpakutoman4225
    @zanpakutoman4225 8 месяцев назад +5

    I think the best nerf for the heavy hitting high tiers like Baraka and Raiden would be to increase scaling on combos that use the same special move multiple times in a combo. Most of their damage comes from high damage special moves being able to combo into themselves (and I think both of these moves are DF2. Coincidence?). Whether if it's through meter burn or Kameo, these moves can extend into another string/hit into another rep. I like Baraka, so I still WANT to do these combos and confirms. But, I'm more than content with either making them weaker or forcing players to end/route them differently. (The chip damage is a whole different conversation, but I feel like the whole game needs to reevaluate the chip.)

    While it may not be super useful I love baraka’s enhanced air blade spark. When the enemy is airborne it actually ground bounces for a huge launch so it can lead to some really fun combos. In the corner I do B3->1 into a slightly delayed jump 2->4 and then cancel into blade spark and then follow up with something like 2->1->DF2. Not optimal but it gives me dopamine

Bro has literally everything. He can zone, fight up close, is fast af etc. There should always be a draw back to characters. NRS has a really big problem with not knowing how to properly make character archetypes. And example is Reiko. A grappler…with a projectile? Grapplers should NEVER have projectiles.

    My friends wanna give me grief for loving Baraka and how he plays, but he’s one of my favorite characters from the beginning, down to design. I wouldn’t mind trying other kameos outside of Cyrax though. Need to work on Baraka with frost kameo. Two freezing moves, low and mid, with an armored glacier drop that turns into frost rapid punching the opponent is extremely good for working with Baraka. You got freeze stubs to open up opponents for more damage.
    Also gotta use tremor with Baraka when he comes out. Dear god Tremor is gonna work WAY to well with Baraka players like myself. His variations and altogether utility is gonna add way more options to Baraka’s already long list of attacks, specifically setups. Tremor’s ground pounds and rolling spikes are gonna have opponents forced to block low, opening them up to Baraka’s brutal specials and attack strings that mostly consist of mids and overheads, with exceptions to chop chop going low. I hope they bring back Tremor’s armored flex. If he dishes that armor buff on Baraka, opponents are screwed if they even think of attacking unless they use a heavily armored attack themselves.

    @Trueunderdawg - my thoughts are like yours - i think baraka deaerves his time in the sun *I'm a Li Mei main so not a baraka lover* Cyrax could potentially use a SMALL nerf. The ONLY thing I would change about Baraka is his little kick hop *back 3* to not invalidate armor. I would also make that change to Milena and i could definitely call the two characters balanced then. The hop is reactible and the chip damage is annoying but manageable. Not being able to armor because they simply decided to say no to your wakeup is totally unfair. OR give every other character a way to invalidate armor like Barakas back 3

    Leave Baraka fix Li Mei lanterns, lol. Certain kombos eat her 2nd lantern input and reduce start up frames for the lantern. As soon as that lantern manifests a shape it should be poppable, not just once it leaves her hand. If they added a realism aspect since if something blows up in your hand you would be damaged, then that would mean baraka shooting bones/blades from body would damage him

Aaaaaand I guess just decrease certain moves damages and that's pretty much it. And not just Baraka, other certain High Tier Kharacters we of that should get the same treatment.😅👌

It would just remove barakas one of two low attacks that aren't crouch jabs. The double kick launch is the only mix up he really has. His back punch stab that hits low is fine but it's would be his only low hitting combo starting option, and if we're talking about nerfing his jump stomp and overall damage then baraka would just have one kinda eh mix up that just leads to a basic 30 to 40% combo, and unless every other top character is brought down with him then baraka would plummet to about kitana's level where he's kinda cool and fun to play, but it's not worth playing him competitively

    Loved Baraka on MK11, I'm kinda happy he is geting the attention he deserves thi time, but I'm also a bit mad that this attention came with the complaints that he is TOO good and deserves to be nerfed. How about nerfing every 40% plus combos from this game? Or maybe nerfing Cyrax because I think he deserves that WAY more than Baraka. A lot of characters in this game seem's broken alongside the right kameo. Like Raiden, who can reach a combo of 100% damage. How the hell is this "normal"? And let's not even talk about Johnny Cage "star meter" or whatever that's called and Kenshi and his THIRD kameo move (the ghost partner) which is stupid AF. Netherealm guys were probably high when they came up with these crazy things.

    I think every cast member needs more launchers 😂 like mkx, but tune down the damage output universally but let them combo off near everything, mkx almost every character I think had 3-5 launchers or special moves that allowed for more combos, but the way it is now some mf’s can only use cyrax, if cyrax gets nerfed then their character will probably change as they need that damage compared to just throwing on sub or something

    • @Asterious_
      @Asterious_ 8 месяцев назад

      Or make the “combo” kameos ambush button all be their pop ups, the main cast needs to have their own complete routes without the cameos and some of them don’t, a good example in duality is kenshi vs Liu kang, let’s use kenshis sento overhead launcher, he can a few routes to go from mid combo to how he wants to end it, Liu kang on the other hand is juggling his opponent with his new version of the dragon fire kick, and then scorpion kameo or whatever for extra damage, why is his only good combo route come from essentially spamming 3,3 dragon fire ex 3,3 dragon fire ex into another dragon fire lol, his bicycle kick isn’t even fast enough startup to finish with any longer combo, it always whiffs, so if you’re playing Liu kang! It’s easy damage but you’re essentially doing the same exact move over and over. Where’s his mkx launchers throw a few of those in there
