Let's go you piece of shit. Playing this all night

Are you on 360? I will fight you.

[G]

Nah son. The 360 is for little girls

[Gonzo]

It's a good thing you're not otherwise I would have uppercutted your fucking head off.

[G]

Oh my

[D Mac]

Let's go you piece of shit. Playing this all night

Tomorrow afternoon, you will suffer multiple deaths.

[D Mac]

Some of the lag on this is atrocious. Finally had a match with no lag and flawlessed the guy and kicked his head off. :cool:

[G]

i don't know any fatalities

[D Mac]

You got me with Scorpion and Liu Kang. Then I was on.

[G]

i only knew moves from those classic guys. some pretty embarrassing stuff like those 20 seconds of uppercut whiffing back and forth

[D Mac]

Wait can you even do Tag Battle Co op online? I know you can locally.

[Kalyx triaD]

Think that was dropped.

[G]

Apparently you can get free character sheets or something mailed to you.

First makeshift patch for the game includes a lot of minor tweaks and doesn't require a mandatory download notice. The first bug and fixes patch won't come until the Skarlet DLC pack arrives.

Reduced some of Kung Lao’s combo and overall damage.
Reduced the damage on some special moves.
Increased the damage scaling after Kitana’s Enhanced ground fan toss.
Adjusted some juggle’s damage scaling.
Reduced the damage on some basic combos that were doing too much damage without using any meter.
Increased Sheeva’s damage output for several of her moves and attacks.
Temporarily Changed around some of Sonya’s fighting style properties to reduce her ability to lock someone down in block stun.
Changed Kano’s Towards Front Kick to a low block.
Reduced the recovery on Kano’s Upball to be closer to Johnny Cage’s Flip Kick recovery.
Increased the damage of some of Baraka’s special moves and attacks.
It is easier to juggle combo after hitting someone with Baraka’s chopchop on the ground.
Increased the damage scaling on a frozen opponent.
Baraka’s Away Front Kick, Front Punch combo is now a true popup.
Reduced some of Reptile’s combo damage.

Trailer for the 1st non-character DLC pack is set to be released on Friday but no actual date or price for the pack was given.

The pack is basically all the different costumes that were given away as pre-orders for the game (classic costumes for Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, Ermac, Jade, Mileena, and Kitana) and classic fatalities for Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Reptile only.

Scarlet and Kenshi still set to arrive later as the 1st characters DLC pack.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's funny that after all these years, people are now paying for palette swap ninjas. It's like Midway is getting us back for all those old jokes.

[Drakul]

Nostalgia always sells.

[D Mac]

I'm buying ALL the DLC. I haven't played a fighting game this much since Soul Calibur 4.

[Kalyx triaD]

Because you quit them in a week. Fighting games take investment.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Because you quit them in a week. Fighting games take investment.

Fighting games are serious business.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yes.

I mean, you're gonna get your ass kicked. There are very few new fighting games. And even new IPs have mechanics that are tried and true. You will get your ass kicked. And from there you can do one of two things:

a) Buck up and take the beating, know that win/loss is not important to a newbie, and learn. The magic starts when you start to 'get' the game. Not win consistently, but 'get' the game. You go on learning it from there.

b) Or you could curse the game, blame it for your lack of understanding, shelf it or sell it, and move on. It's a downward spiral because all fighting games have universal concepts like timing, spacing, reading your opponent. And by casting off every fighter due to difficulty, you just hurt your self.

I know guys who just give up fighters at the first sign of losing. Then the next game comes, they play it, and then quit because they're losing. I try to tell them winning or losing means nothing compared to learning the game. That takes time. It doesn't have to be 'Kalyx spending 40mins in training mode' time, but certainly longer than a few games.

Unleash the warrior within.

I get what you're saying, and that's both is, and isn't my problem.

I'm not saying you're doing this, so don't take it the wrong way. My problem though is people who act like someone doesn't "get" or "know how to play" a certain fighter just because they don't like it.

Street Fighter 4 for example. I'm not saying it's a bad game, but I don't enjoy it. My enjoyment level has little to do with how good I am at the game, or how much I practice. I'm just not a fan of it, it's not a game I enjoy. I have little doubt that I could practice more and get better, but getting better isn't going to make me enjoy the game more. Furthermore, it seems like a waste of my time to use what little time I do have to practice at a game I don't enjoy.

On the other hand, I enjoy the new MK a lot more. Practicing at it is more entertaining to me, and feels like a better use of my time.

So for me, it's not whether I "get" the game, it's whether I enjoy it. Sadly, people take themselves too seriously and assume that the two are related, which I find insanely obnoxious.

[Kalyx triaD]

I understand you 100%, it's something I dealt with during CoD: MW. I simply don't like the design, and dudes figured I didn't 'get it'. So I played MW2 to lvl 60, having fantastic games on the way. Screwed with Blops a bit then left the series when I was reminded why I disliked it. But now people can't say 'Kalyx doesn't get it'. I understand that not everybody has the time to invest just to nullify an argument, though.

But I can tell the difference between dudes who leave a series due to tastes vs dudes who just hate losing. Night and day. And I deal with the latter quite often. I hate seeing lack of fighting spirit.

[D Mac]

I'm just not a big Street Fighter fan. MK and SC are my games of choice.

[Kalyx triaD]

Stay out of this.

[D Mac]

Allow me to recap this exchange.

D Mac: I didn't play fighting games much.
Kalyx: That's because you didn't play fighting games much.

[Kalyx triaD]

No I think the original exchange holds up, Tommy. Nice try and shit.

[Fignuts]

To my knowledge, SF4 is the only fighting game d mac tried and quit.

[G]

finally got a chance to do the challenge tower. really good stuff. only up to around 40 or so. some incredibly stupid ones tho, like press a certain button 5 times :-\

[D Mac]

To my knowledge, SF4 is the only fighting game d mac tried and quit.

I did'nt quit like after one match and shit. I played it enough and actually gotten better at it. I just stopped caring. I'm just not into the characters as much as Mk.

I got mine in the mail today although it was kind of hard to figure out the numbers since I never bought the guide and wanted the cards as a quick reference for when I get the game later in the year.

Ended up using the Sub-Zero's card to figure out what the numbers meant since I used him the most in Deception and Armageddon.

I am not sure what they are either, but I think it's 1-X 2-Y 3-B 4-A on a 360 controller.

[G]

The miniguide app for Iphone/Ipod Touch rules.


It looks like a great app, but it's $2 and these are free. And you don't have to worry about the iPhone turning off and having to unlock it and click the app again. These are always out for you to see.

I was thinking of getting a small photo album or something to put these in to make it more presentable and easier to navigate and handle.

[G]

So...do you have to unlock (buy) a fatality in order to use it? I was doing tag ladder with Sektor and Cyrax, and for some reason couldn't do Cyrax's Babality. I see that it is an unlockable, but I also saw that Sektor had an unlockable, but I was able to do all of his fatalities (that I know of). Me confused

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Nah, you just have to do it, and then it shows up in the move list.

I don't think you can block the last round for it to work though.

[G]

I think I may have blocked. I didn't know they kept requirements to be able to pull them off. So silly. Do you get the alternate outfits for beating the single player ladder, making those Kyrpt purchases useless?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Yeah, they kept the blocking requirement. I think it only counts if you actually block an attack though (so using block for a x ray combo or stronger special is okay.)

Yeah, you get the alternate when you beat single player ladder, and also the ability to pick the pallette swap for each costume. You can pick the palette swaps by hitting whatever button that lets you choose the costume, and then choosing the costume with start instead of the normal button.

[G]

Thank you for your wonderful help.

And it's more then worth the 2 bucks. I'd pay 5. Are you really that cheap?

You select your console, then a character and it will give you all the special moves, combos and fatalities for that character. It also has been updated with all the Krypt Kontent and secrets.

The mystery character's shadow looks like a normal guy. At the same time though, he could have some sort of gauntlet on his left hand.

[Fignuts]

Kenshi

[Reavant]

no kenshi has already been confirmed... hes the second character... common get it together dmac

[D Mac]

It might be Frost, since you see her in the game sometimes fighting in the background on the Pit.

[Reavant]

you see a ton of guys fighting in the background... i doubt theyre going to do frost considering theres two sub zero characters already

[Fignuts]

Fujin and Reiko are pretty popular post-MK3 charcters.

Bo Rai Cho?

[Ermaximus]

Someone post the image? Might make it easier for us to figure out as a group that way.

Boon said Bo Rai Cho would not make it in the game...



and the pic is very vague... they might have not decided who it is for sure yet and make the character based of the feedback they get online.

WB Games announced the Kombat Pass will allow gamers to pay in advance for all 4 initial DLC characters at the cost of 1200 MS Points (#15). It ends up being a savings of $5 compared to paying $20 for all 4 characters separately.

The pass will be available when the Skarlet DLC is released on June 21 and guarantees access to the other 3 characters once they get released in the future.

At the moment, the PS3 version of the game will not be getting this discount deal.

I was originally going to say "lame," but then I realized something. Weren't 360 owners supposed to get Skarlett for free anyway? Wasn't that announced prior as sort of a trade off for Kratos. Looks like they're getting her for free still, but only if 360 users give in and buy the other 3.

[Emperor Smeat]

If I remember she is only free for the first 1-2 weeks and then goes to paid status for the 360. Then at some point later in time she will arrive on the PS3 as a paid character.

I'd assume the deal is more for those who miss that "free" window of time but still want something to make up for the lack of Kratos.

Pretty sure both systems get her this Tuesday. Whether or not she'll be free on 360 for 2 weeks will be interesting to see.

[Reavant]

Skarlet is out people

[Emperor Smeat]

For those that are having problem either downloading or finding the DLC pack for Skarlet, the problem is due to the DLC pack being too buggy and unstable when it was released on the XBLA marketplace.

The problem appears to be related to the Season Pass and the character keeps showing up as a 400 MS point purchase when earlier reports stated she was supposed to be free for a limited time.

The compatibility and/or bug fix patch meant to be released at the same time also ended up being too buggy.

[D Mac]

Skarlet's pretty cool but not worth 5 bucks IMO. Maybe 2.

[Crimson]

Yea..so we have a blue,yellow,green(reptile v.1),black, and purple ninjas.

[Kalyx triaD]

[Ermaximus]

Yea..so we have a blue,yellow,green(reptile v.1),black, and purple ninjas.

Blue, Yellow, Green, Gray, Purple, Black, and Red.

I actually think only Mileena should have her mouth covered.

[Fignuts]

So who here plays this regularly on PS3? I know D-Mac does and I've added him.

I wanna get a close knit fighting session group going for this, in the same vein as our street fighter group.

Especially since I am no longer a part of said street fighter group due to 360 failure. (NOTE: this is where I would put a sad smiley, if I were a gaylord who uses smileys.)

[Fignuts]

Also, holy shit I didn't know classic Sektor and Cyrax costumes came with the Skarlet DLC. That is awesome. And convenient, given that I have to decided to use him a lot.

Think the characters I want to start out with, are going to be:
Sektor
Sindel
Reptile
Jade
Smoke
Skarlet
Nightwolf


Nightwolf is a fucking beast. Especially if you know how to use his advanced moves.

[RoXer]

Should be getting the PS3 version pretty soon

[RoXer]

I'll be Akuma

[Fignuts]

And I'll be Dhalsim

*wink*

[D Mac]

I don't know if you actually have to buy Scarlet to get classic Cyrax and Sektor. Check the dlc in extras after you load up the game.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, I think it was just coincidence that I got them when I got skarlet.

[Fignuts]

Honestly cannot wait for Kenshi. Feel like he is going to translate really well to 2-d, and be mad fun to play.

Also hoping for more classic skins.

MK4 Scorpion
MK2 Shang
MK3 Sub Zero
Zombie Liu Kang

As for characters, I think Kobra could be cool, and offer up a unique style that no one else in the game has. Havik and Reiko could be cool as well.

So who here plays this regularly on PS3? I know D-Mac does and I've added him.

I have it on PS3, but I barely ever play online... or at all right now, with this whole annoying bar studying thing going on.

Also, I THINK the extra costumes are free, and you get them either when you buy the DLC character, or when you download the free compatibility pack.

Classic Smoke and Noob comes with Kenshi I believe.

I doubt it'll happen, but I'd love unmasked Sub Zero, and maybe a Cyber Smoke.

[Fignuts]

The free Smoke and Noob costumes that come out alongside kenshi aren't just more of the same classic costumes. They're actually styled after mk2.

Niiiiiiiice.


Just joined a group who is buying all dlc, so I am golden.

[Kalyx triaD]

Weren't they all MK2 skins? That was the gaga right, MK's biggest joke is now something people want (palette swaps)?

The padded design was an MK2 thing. IN MK1 the fabric was smooth.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, but everything else on the outfits were mk1. The differences are subtle but they are definitely there.

[Kalyx triaD]

AH

The padded knees and the 'grated' masks. I see it now. The tunic is the same and it threw me off.

No the design for mk1 was also padded but you couldnt really see it with the bit space on mk1....

look real close, the pattern is there on the mk1 ninja

[Fignuts]

Even so, I would have preferred smooth for the mk1 costumes as that's what they looked like. Would have made them stand out more from the mk2 ones.

They are still badass tho, so oh well.

[G]

Yeah I hate the padded versions. Would love a smooth costume with a mk2 grated mask.

[Reavant]

yea but the costumes were never smooth

[Fignuts]

It doesn't matter what they were. They LOOKED smooth so that's what everyone wants. I doubt many people knew they were padded. Especially people who only played the home versions.

They really are the best. The best part is that they were free, unlike D Mac's $1.99 iPhone app.

That was crazy. What happened to the slow paced days of MK1. I think the biggest combo was uppercut then slide.

And they're really bulky and take up space! Unlike my $1.99 app.

When I played last, I used the app because my "binder" was 10 feet away and I didn't want to get up. I guess it disables the auto lock thing, because it stayed active.

[Reavant]

I dunno if its NRS or WB but I hate how they didnt give the DLC characters alternate uniforms or a spot in the necropolis

[D Mac]

G, Fignuts, if you wanna get schooled today I'm down.

[Funky Fly]

Betting the costumes are so they can sell you more later. The Nekropolis was probably built without DLC characters in mind and it'd be a pain in the ass for them to fix it now. Certainly not going to complain though.

[Crimson]

So how do we "unlock" their finishers or babalities?

[G]

Just perform them then they show up

The game itself was built with dlc character in mind... that was their big thing they harped on when promoting it during development not to mention having preliminary code for scarlett on the disc already

[G]

yeah dunno what to say about nekropolis. did all the standard people come with 2 costumes?

[Reavant]

yes

I do not own this game as of yet. Still watch the vids.

[Ultra Mantis]

Really want this now, especially since Kenshi came out. If I didn't have a backlog of around 7-8 games I would be all over this beaut.

[Reavant]

OH.... MY.... GOD....

lol..his fatalities look pretty cool

[Funky Fly]

Fuckin' wow. Rain looks like the shit.

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure if I want to laugh or be amazed.

He shoots out water bubbles as a projectile but at the same time takes a lot of cool looking moves from other fighters in the game.

[Kalyx triaD]

That bubble reposition move will be broken, just you see.

[D Mac]

awesome

[G]

thank god he isn't a total fucking pussy like in the movie


<iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eGOBhx74dVM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Kalyx triaD]

Everything about that movie is out of context.

[G]

i know, but every time i hear rain i think of his stupid fucking face from the movie.

[Kalyx triaD]

He wears a mask. :)

[Reavant]

that movie was so gay

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Not sure if I want to laugh or be amazed.

Exactly. I watched the video, and I couldn't help but think "Really, water bubbles? What are you, a fucking Mega Man villain?" With that said, I'll probably end up downloading him, as I'm a schmuck, and I love this game.

[Reavant]

dude rain looks fuckin sweet and they used all his powers just like they were in mkt

[G]

[Reavant]

mk2 kitana and jade

[Vietnamese Crippler]

I like Skarlet over Kitana and Mileena.

Well the next character should have been revealed by now. Wonder what the deal is.

[Ermaximus]

Well the next character should have been revealed by now. Wonder what the deal is.

They're revealing who it is during Comic-Con later this week.

[Emperor Smeat]

NetherRealm Studios confirms the "Klassic" costume packs are causing online matches to either disconnect or not allow certain matches to be playable due to a hidden bug that occurred after they split all the costumes as pre-orders for different stores.

They are working on a patch but for the time being the quick fix seems to be to just delete and then re-download the skins from PSN or Xbox Live Marketplace. They also are requesting that all the compatibility packs be downloaded regardless if you did or didn't buy the DLC characters.

http://www.giantbomb.com/news/a-rather-selfish-psa-for-you-mortal-kombat-players/3503/

[G]

I have one account with the downloaded skins, then my main account I use to play with has the compatibility packs. Both the skin and compatibility packs are the same size, so hopefully I'm not just wasting space.

just seems completely random

Oh that is fucking badass!

Also, with that confirmed, I can't help but wonder if the other half of the rumor will be true.

BEcause Jason in MK would be epic.

[Reavant]

lol wow

Actually, that IS being discussed.

[Fignuts]

Maskless Sub-Zero apparently the next classic costume. Was hoping for that one!

First few seconds in the video

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Hopefully that means Cyber Smoke too. I really don't want another Scorpion costume.

[Fignuts]

Dunno, I'm hoping we get a pack of UMK3 ninja costumes in the future.

I'd be fine if this was the final character, but I'd still love more dlc in the form of costumes, stages, and fatalities.

Maybe give us some post MK3 costumes. Those games may have sucked, but there were some pretty sweet character designs.

[Reavant]

The next pack will be the umk3 ninjas... look at the "unmasked" sub zero. All they did was put superman's head from mkvsdc on the body of the umk3 masked sub zero

[RoXer]

ps3 version in the mail

Can't wait to destroy you.

[Joe Kerr]

Since they won't do the movie they should do Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash in mortal kombat

[D Mac]

Roxer did you get this in the mail yet? If so then you, me, Fignuts, and sgand need to have a little tourney this weekend.

Yay. Just got this last week. Haven't put much time in though. Up to Smoke's chapter in the story and have done 2 arcade ladders thus far. Done a lot of versus with friends already (they all had it, mostly on PS3 for Kratos), but my only 2 of my irl friends are even klose to my level at this fighting game shit. :-\

Anyway, someone klear this shit up for me. The kostumes in the first few kompatibility packs (free) are not the same kostumes offered in kostume pack 1 (paid), right?

[Reavant]

right
