thats quite fast. I hope we get impressions soon. I also hope the AI operators get their hands on the patch asap

Jesus Christ K' doesn't need any tweaking at all, he's just really solid.

While I agree that K' is good the way he is they still need to tweak him because

1. There's a bug where he jumps in and if you guard his attack he continues to move forward pretty much bypassing the guard animation/hit-stun and regardless whether you or the opponent gets he hit he's still in your face, which pretty much explains why you see a lot of K user's spamming his j.C/D as soon they have them in the corner

2. He can hit you with his st.C before you recover from a GCR

besides that he's cool

Yeah, those are the tweaks I wanted for K'. After that he is fine.

All characters who have bugs that players seem to exploit need need fixing.

From Madman in Japan:

It's still been under half a day since the update came out so there's not much details yet. I'm assuming that SNKP might make an announcement to the general public on their blog today.. if they're competent.

According to some early reports, the bugs and infinites have been taken out (say goodbye to the massive Mature population). The roll HD has reportedly been taken out. Players are saying that there doesn't seem to be any balance changes?

I probably won't have time for hands-on until the weekend.

I dunno.  I'm excited as hell since we might have it patched before our tourney (23rd of Oct).  Drawback is that they have to ship a new HDD versus just downloading some patch so we won't get it for a few days.

the HD roll taken out? what this mean? you can not be able to roll while in HD mode?

[krazykone123]

No I think he meant you can't initiate HD mode during a roll anymore

Shame, it was such a feasible strat for Shen =(

Finally, I can start using Raiden again.

[Zabel]

It seems like characters didn't get changed except for glitches & Raiden has none. Why weren't you playing him before. And please don't say some honor bullshit.

[Diavle]

This has to be one of the fastest rumor to confirmation to release ever.

Even if its just the bugs/infinites that are fixed its all good, it was pretty embarassing watching that Mature infinite in action so much.

Someone should check if they at least fixed Raiden being able to juggle after a CD counter, that was definitely not okay.

If no other balancing has been done then it is disappointing but what the hey, can't have it all. At least this way there is a smaller chance of new issues popping up (*cough* Elizabeth/Raiden XII bug *cough*).

[fujifujifujifuji]

About balancing, let's just wait a bit longer to see what other chars need balancing. If they rush, we're not gonna like it. Plus Raiden really only need to lose his Drop Kick comboability, so as to make it akin to Tizoc's Gri-Dro kick...which is awesome. I liked HD roll...aw man.

[Shiranui_ninja]

Well, I don't know about Raiden and K', but I'm sure from now on we will see more interesting Matures (because now people will play with her like a normal character, even I guess she will be less selected), Vices, Ralfs and Hwas.

Oh hell no...

[Cibernetico]

This imo is a good start if they are planning on any future changes. It's great to know that all the bugs, glitches and infinites were the priority in this update to the game and now they are gone. Unless of course someone finds something new which I'm hoping not.
