Alright, I saw Tweedy’s tweets about his thoughts about the game so here are mine. Out of all the NRS games, this one is my favorite by far because I feel like it focuses on neutral and outplaying your opponent the most then others. There are definitely two huge issues tho.

Fatal blows- This mechanic has gotta change for sure. It’s a free use armor special that gets you 30-35% on raw hit and gives characters a threat of a 40-50% unbreakable combo everytime they reach under 30% for getting outplayed. Also it’s not guaranteed punishable since some

of them push you back and are super fast on startup. It just creates this ugly mind game at the end where the person who’s losing has the advantage to take the round over the person who’s winning. To change this I recommend it requiring all four bars to do but that could be too

much. Other changes I have are Remove Armor from all of them and make them have no pushback at all so you can safely punish if you react on time. I would also tone the damage down so they do less/scale more because being a 40% unbreakable machine when you’re losing is dumb asl.

The other mechanic I strongly dislike are breakaways. That mechanic allows me to do whatever I want if I know you don’t have fatal blow and I have the health lead because it’s a brain dead mechanic that is used sometimes to punish the person doing a combo. For this, my changes

would be removing them and adding back some other system like breakers or just making a universal button to armor break breakaways because the armor breaks in the game right now aren’t balanced for everyone where Kabal has a godlike one and Sonya has a garbage one.

Other then those mechanics, J3s are broken but those could be fixed easily if they were attended to but the issue with the game I feel right now is Breakaway and Fatal Blows. These two mechanics the way they are now just give the person losing an advantage and add ugly mindgames.

If you guys see this and adjust breakaways, Fatal Blows, and change J3s so that we can Anti-Air them on reaction without them stuffing it every time, I think this game could be perfect.

Also I hope you see this and can make changes whenever the next patch release because I feel this game could be great for a long time if certain things get changed.
