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.

Fighting games are serious business.

Kalyx triaD
05-27-2011, 03:56 PM
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.

05-27-2011, 04:53 PM
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.

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.

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
06-02-2011, 10:03 PM
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?
06-02-2011, 10:22 PM
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
06-02-2011, 10:26 PM
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?
06-02-2011, 10:34 PM
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.

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
06-18-2011, 10:27 PM
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.

Skarlet is out people

Emperor Smeat
06-21-2011, 06:53 PM
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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Actually, that IS being discussed.

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

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

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.

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

4plyr tag mode is super fun. The game's saving grave (for me).

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

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?
