Just cause you dont know how to deal with it dosent make it a spam. Rule number 1 of fighting games just do the same thing until they figure out how to beat it.

@scarace360:

No, it's a spam. That's all anyone does, especially if it's a lag-filled game. Trust me, my ranking and W/L is high enough to counter it, but I get sick of people just using that move. It's boring.

Spin is only more punishable. Unless they completely change how he plays, Kung Lao is still going to be really good. And it won't stop Kung players from using spin just as much until they keep getting punished for it. It's up to you to punish dat shit.

Unfortunately you need to figure that out in a match, since training mode is shit.

I've only played for a little after the patch, but I feel confident in saying online is significantly better. Player Match actually works now and all the matches that I've fought have been virtually lag free.

I will say though that I've had more games de-synch since the patch than prior to it. Perhaps that's NRS's way of dealing with poor contentions. If someone starts pinging below a certain threshold the game is just dropped. Or maybe I just have bad luck.

@xhavoc86: I tend not to play King of the Hill, so I can't speak for that. I have heard in other parts of the internet people complaining that the patch broke King of the Hill. Some people are also saying that this patch may be a mistake, since there are no official patch notes (just the hotfix stuff) and it's only gone up on NA PSN.

I'll check out King of the Hill when I get the chance and see if I have a similar issue.

Well they suck and you should punish them and beat them as hard as you can. And lag sucks but if you dont want lag play offline.

As a Sindel player, im glad about smoke and kung. But then again. smoke was easy to bate. Kung spins at the snif of you standing up(regards ssf4 players) Yes, overpowerd at the time, but you could bate them to hell. anyway, i love the patch, this time you can flinch, step and "fire ball" for dash and scream. Love it :D thank you WB <3

That's odd, mines 1.02, but i will say mines did not update right away, i was playing for a while and then it interrupted me midway and prompted me to update. Trying playing around arcade ladder for a while and see if it pops up eventually.

@Jaded_Racoon: The fact that people are saying that there are a lot more dropped games combined with people claiming that they aren't updating leads me to believe that the update was pulled for going out to early and now there are two version online. If you are fighting someone with a different version, it probably just drops the game.

Yeah, King of the Hill is not in good shape right now, but my experience with just player matches in rooms and been tremendously improved...when the game isn't dropped.

I thought I heard that the stun on Cyrax's command grab has been lessened too, pretty much eliminating his bomb trap. Watching some of ReveLAtions over the weekend makes me think that this might be true, but there was only one or two Cyrax players and they didn't use that trap too often so I couldn't tell. Any confirmation on this?

@HelicopterSpy: You have longer to break the command throw and the recovery is shorter if it lands. So in practice the bomb trap is gone. You can still do it if the person you are fighting ins't paying attention though.

@HelicopterSpy: It's just a matter of adapting. Cyrax's game has taken a hit since the bomb trap was patched out, but people will figure out alternatives. Unless that's all he had going for him, in which case you should have probably picked someone else regardless. Cyrax still has some options outside the bomb trap. He's not like Liu Kang, who's pretty much screwed if he looses that corner trap.

@Azteck:
u=up
d =down
f=forward
b=back
1=front punch
2=back punch
3=front kick
4=back kick

Truth is Cyrax was always sorta crummy. His bombs and nets take a while to recover and his rushdown is trash. What made him a top tier character were his traps. A few other tweaks could make him great once more, but right now, I dunno.

@HelicopterSpy: Cyrax is still good a putting on pressure and causing mistakes, between the unpredictable of where the bombs will land and how large the net is. It's just a matter of taking advadtage of the mistakes...and figuring out how to deal with teleporters, since neither the bombs or net trade with teleports at mid+ range.

So, as my game still won't actually patch (balance changes seem to have been downloaded), was Skarlett part of the patch ?
