It didn't come with mine.

 

[Anticitizen One]

didn't eternal champions have a sequel on Saturn? I remember getting it off ebay a few years back.

edit: nm i was thinking of Guardian Heroes

 

[RiZ III]

I actually remember Eternal Champions not being terrible.

Eternal Champions was awesome.

 

[G-Fex]

Eternal Champions yeah....

Well that's 10 times better than all other MK Clones

It had one on Sega CD.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Anyone? I'd at least appreciate an answer to the Liu Kang throw question. Much obliged!

You can tell which version of a throw you did by which side of you the opponent ends up on.
Some animations are exactly the same, but you still end up switching sides if you hold back and throw.

It came with the Activator.

Hahaa Hotaru and GRRL Raiden aren't shitty but Rain is? You're funny.

I think theres a chance Hotaru will be DLC simply because hes in the intro.

But honestly I like the way the game is. I'd rather have them work on balancing, fixing online features and maybe other things (adding button config to pause menu, adding chapter select/theatre mode to story mode, tag-mode story DLC). Save new characters for the next game.

Yeah, a Prince joke that didn't end up being a character with any interesting moves or a cool fighting style wasn't too impressive to me.

BRUTAL: Paws of Fury

Oh god, I owned that as a kid.

So will Khamelon return?

Agreed. Especially since they did MK1-3 in this one they need to save MK4-7 characters for the next one since the lineup obviously isn't as strong (without a bunch new characters and/or major tweaks to the old ones).

 

[Minamu]

Hmm, how do I unlock my alternate fatalities/stage fatalities and

Spoiler

babalities

? Is the Krypt the only way unless I accidentally stumble upon them? Feels like a stupid question :S

Also, I'm stuck on the tower. 70~ something. Gotta out damage Jade as Kitana. How the hell? I beat the game by spamming specials. I'm no good at linking combos

 

[KlockreN]

RT @TheEvilBread @noobde If Kenshi is DLC, will he be playable in 'Test Your Sight'? Noobde: What is there to test with Kenshi?

RT @1uxu1 @noobde LOL and what about Stryker's X-ray vs Kenshi? Is it an auto-fail? Noobde: That is a GOOD POINT !!

lol

A control sphere isn't interesting?

A video with the same combo over and over shows him to be interesting?

 

[GuessWho]

Episode 3 of Legacy was really, REALLY good.

But for shit's sake, you can say FUCK on Youtube. In fact, that's all I hear on Youtube!

holy shit you weren't kidding, episode 3 is REALLY good.

 

[Big One]

Yeah...well that's kind of what old MK is. Not sure if you can be impressed by any character

 

[kaskade]

Does that twisty dpad xbox controller work well with this game? I don't have the controller but If it's a lot better than the regular dpad I'll pick one up whenever I get the game.

 

[notworksafe]

Just not sure what you were trying to show there.

How about this then?

I'm not sure if I'm more happy or mad about this. Happy that Liu has to be the character I'm missing but mad because I tried over and over since he kept throwing to the same side. He alway seems to do it backwards but I've hit throw without touching back on the dpad so I don't get why he never throws forward. The animation I'm seeing is him running up them bicycle kick style to kick back, does he do a different animation for forward throw? He always seems to turn.

YES. At first I thought I was just trying to convince myself to justify my purchase but then I played with my roommates regular controller and it sucks balls compared to the transformable d-pad controller. So much easier to execute moves and fatalities. It was especially evident when spamming attacks against Shao Kahn in story mode.

Ha he does!

Do you have to send a proof of purchase or anything?

I have it, I think it's pretty good. Haven't gone back to try it on a regular one for comparison's sake though.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Why are the post MK3 characters coming to shit up the game? Quan Chi I can understand because of his backstory, and Kenshi for the same reasons, but come on, save those for the sequel!

1) they have to stay competitive with what other fighting games are doing and those games are offering extra characters as dlc.

2). It's just for fun. It won't impact the story mode or canon at all.

 

[TriniTrin]

It said to just email them with that info. It didn't ask for proof of purchase in that email.

 

[SuperBonk]

Just beat all 300 tower challenges. End Game is so easy to cheese with Scorpion's teleport. Only had trouble with a few challenges, including the one where you have to hit Kitana 30 times or so. Sounds easy enough but I swear she's set to God difficulty or something.

Nice looks like I'm getting some free cards then

 

[MThanded]

looks like we psn gonna be down for quite a while. Netcode should be fixed by the time i can finally play online again.

I usually buy all my multiplats on 360. I dun goofed on this one. I'd like to play online.

 

[Squall ASF]

Any DLC request list not including Rain is full of fail. You can have whatever characters you want as long as he's in. I'm not sure why anyone wants Robo Smoke though...that's rather redundant and the only reason

Spoiler

Cyber Sub-Zero

gets away with it, is because we've never seen him like this before.

Well Cyber Smoke does different stuff from the normal Smoke, but he doesn't really have an original moveset in the original games to be fair. Having him launch a claw from his chest to bring you over to him would be pretty neat to see and see how NRS could get creative with it.

 

[strikeselect]

A glimpse at some of the hate mail I've received online... I love you too Xbox Live.

 

[G-Fex]

wait what'd you do and who'd you play as?

 

[Ninhead]

Anyone wanna trade a 360 classic Sub for my 360 classic Scorpion?

 

[strikeselect]

wait what'd you do and who'd you play as?

Scorpion, Ermac and Liu Kang.

I do different things with each character. Zone with Ermac, rushdown with Scorpion and Liu Kang.

It's not easy being an African American homosexual in the sanitation industry.

I was actually going to say that's another reason he'd be pointless, just a scorpion clone. I didn't mention it because I think in the last two games (not counting vs DC) he had more original moves. I sympathize with NRS though because it's kind of tough to come up with a bunch of moves for 'smoke'. Easier with elementals. The hook would be just like Scorpion's spear, is that a big draw?

 

[LordAlu]

We need an HD Remix of that game, STAT. Get Sirlin on the line.

And don't call me Shirley.

To be fair, human Smoke before this game was literally a Scorpion clone, except faster and better combos. I think Netherrealm can give robo Smoke a fairly unique moveset based on what they did with human Smoke in MK9.

Not to mention that Smoke already had a pretty unique moveset in Deception/Armageddon for the few that remember those games.

I salute you sir. I wish I at least got hate mail.

I get beaten after 1 or 2 matches then they quit after they get bored.

It's amazing how much they could tell about him from just one game of Mortal Kombat.

Is ANYONE maining Lui Kang? I always hated that little prick.

Or maybe Jax? I wonder what the least used character is right now
