Universal improvement to everyone’s Down+Medium attack

Joker
The Joker’s Wild (Character Power) parry is active for 4 more additional frames.

Killer Frost
Freezing Cold (character power) now has 10 additional frames of recovery.

I wonder what the d+2 change means? My first thought is damage scaling but why wouldn't they note that if so?

Also highlighted the huge changes (besides scorpion), this means that good KFs can't cancel with their traits correct? And we might actually see some Joker parries :ssh:

I'm guessing they'll be more reliable anti airs. At least, I'm hoping so... Flash could really use it.

Scorpion

Shroud of Flames (Character Power)no longer starts it’s cooldown if it gets interrupted before it is activated.
Flip Kick (Down + Forward + 2) is now -10 on block (up from -1).
Teleport Punch (Down + Back + 3) now has more recovery time when blocked.
Slightly adjusted the Teleport Punch (Down+Back+3) speed
The Teleport Punch is now a High attack and has slightly more recovery when it misses.
Increased Welcome to the Netherrealm (Supermove) damage to 37 (from33.75)
Slightly adjusted his Jumping Light and Jumping Hard hit-boxes.
The Teleport Punch (Down + Back + 3) on block is now -8 and slightly pushes back farther.

They're really loving with Scorpion :smith:

On the other hand, Bane buffs :neckbeard:

That Flip Kick nerf has been in action since the hotfix that made his normal Teleport a High attack, actually. I guess they just decided to list those now for completeness or something.

Edit: I think the nerf to Superman's super is appropriate. It still lets him have it as a costly but threatening move even from full screen, but now he doesn't get the same damage most other characters get off their lesser utility supers.

That is a really good patch. KF, BA, Superman, and Scorpion ate well deserved, sensible nerfs. Metropolis rooftop finally fixed, universal AA buffed. Aaaand some Harley/Joker love. I want to see that deg222 vs Rico ft5 again post-1.05.

I love fighting people who are completely clueless about how to stop stick-stance Nightwing. I was just fighting a Scorpion who was abusing the hell out of his jumping 3 at first, so I went stick stance and just crouched while jamming out crouching 2 when he tried to jump in and crouching 3 when he tried to rush up or play footsies, plus a helping of shock spam if he tried to use his hellfire. After a while I was going after him with jumping 2's into forward 2's and the moment he tried to counter-attack I went right back to whackin his knees and ankles all day. :v:

Some folks from Norcal were at WNF, with Wound Cowboy being one of them, and his Sinestro steamrolled the opposition to get him the win. Nice stuff.

Yeah, that n52 is skin is really cool but her face just looks really jarring and wierd with the short hair. I think its that general squinty face she has in her neutral stance. Also every since I ripped off f0xy grandpa's technique I've been getting tons of 10 game streaks and rage quits on ranked. It really is the most heart warming thing.

So who else should be in the BN 2 Pack? We got Aquaman and most likely Hawkgirl. Who else was featured in Blackest Night? And what about an Earth-2 pack to join Grundy? I don't know much about DC to say.

It's almost guaranteed gonna be the pre-order Black Lantern Batman. Because if someone needs more outfits, it's Batman.

It wouldn't matter to me because I don't have that one. But I don't think they would do that. People who already have the Batman skin would be paying for 3 skins and only getting 2 out of it. I think (or at least hope) they would release that one separately like with the Man of Steel skin coming out.

I would like to see some more creativity with the Blackest Night skins though, rather than just all black lanterns. I bought the first pack, I probably won't buy a second unless it includes other lantern types.

I need to ask, because I keep getting absolutely wrecked: as Doomsday, what the hell do I do against a half-competent Nightwing? He's by far my worst matchup, leagues and leagues more trouble than most - I'd say Hawkgirl is a close second, but only because no one ever picks Hawkgirl.

Go to practice. Set the dummy to always block. Set reversal to on and set different specials. Set wake up to on and set different specials. Block them and see what you can punish them with. If whatever you use isn't blocked then it's something you can punish with. If not then it will be blocked. I think that's a good place to start if you didn't already know. Record some of the things they do that trip you up and set it to playback and see what you can do. Or try to bribe someone to go into training mode with you.
