Pls.. stop talking about nerfing Baraka

[BadrO_RambO]

srsly... the first character that i mained ina fighting game that turned out to be pretty solid and you to nerf him?? WHY

i always mained low tiers in my life
SF5 (ken)
DBFZ(S. Broly)
SF6 (blanka)
MK11 (Spawn)

and finally comes MK1 where a character i like that is so good.. everyone wants him nerfed.. the ♥♥♥♥ is this luck that i have.
Baraka is solid, but doesnt server a nerf. He ltierally has no mixups lmao. you cna block low all day and react to the easiest reactable overhead in fighting game history. You actually have to play some good neuch with him to win.

Nerf Jhonny woh has a million unreactable overheads instead
and let baraka rock

Baraka does a simple 1 kameo combo and gets 40+ % off of it. Sub zero can string together 40 hits and do barely 30. He is overpowered, plain and simple.

then buff sub zero and dont nerf baraka. plain and simple

well when you play KL and you see 90% baraka. If a nerf will reduce the amount of barakas i see then please nerf.

with Cyrax, Baraka has 50%+ combo, combos off grabs, a wake up that goes across the screen, fast projectile, and insane chip dmg.

He is not, Sub Zero is just too weak. There is neither a reason to play Baraka or Raiden if they don't deal loads of damage because their mixup game is non-existant. Especially Raidens fastest mid is 18fr startup while Johnnys is 9fr startup. Just saying...

Broken ♥♥♥♥ with Cyrax nerf him

[Jirai]

People do not seem to understand that Cyrax is the problem, not Baraka. All of Barakas special moves are unsafe on block, just saying...

Rather than nerf him they should tune and bring up the rest of the cast to be on his level.

Its easier to fix 1 character. Yes, not nerf but fix.

But 1 touch and 50% of your health is gone.

who is Baraka?

[werwolfgaming]

If ur so worried about nerfs u should just not be a 1 charachter main u should find the best charachter each patch and learn them thats how u ensure u get far in kombat leauge hopefully they will balance most off them to be about equal

[Conway Bieber]

If they just buffed Sub zero and Kitana the cast would be more or less balanced. Most characters can get 45-50% combos if you're really skilled with them. Sub Zero is weaksauce tho and Kitana relies on kameo

[Conway Bieber]

But i do agree that Raiden and Baraka are currently the most OP characters. Scorpion has to do all sorts of crazy aerial combo shenanigans to get the same damage baraka can get by pressing 2 strings and RB

Your sample size isn't indicative of the actual popularity trends. Even at high rank I barely see any Barakas. The most popular characters roughly are: Johnny, Raiden, Smoke, Sub and Scorpion. This just sounds like a salt post if anything.

As well as Kenshi and Johnny. The top Kenshi player thinks Kenshi is top 1 and placed Baraka as #4. Lot's of posting scrub quotes here as to why they lose.

Okay now imagine you lower his damage to 320-340dmg and nerfing Cyrax.
There is literally no reason to play him anymore.
If Cyrax doesn't give him the stunlock or making his special moves safe he has nothing. He literally has no mixup game and Johnny is already a hardcounter to him. I dont think that it is a solution to form a 7-3 or 8-2 matchup in Johnnys favor. There are diffrent types of characters in the game... those who have a huge damage potential and those who can mixup a lot.
In that regard we need to take a look at Kung Laos hat assist cooldown... just saying. It is not smart to nerf a character without thinking of all consequences.
