Wouldn't you rather use a fightstick than the shitty 360 d-pad? Although playing with friends is a big plus...gillFTR said:

"I didn't type that they weren't any. But it isn't nearly the same as MVC3 where everything is cancelable. Also going by exceptional cases, it still wouldn't apply as SC2 Ivy allows to input half the motion for SS, attack, sidestep, complete the motion for Summon Suffering or add one input wait a split second for the stance change, which allows for the Calamity Symphony."
I'm not sure what the SC2 Ivy bit has to do with anything? And who cares if it's not nearly the same as MVC3? It's a different game with different mechanics. It's like this concept is beyond so many people.
At any rate, the point I was making was that there are definitely easily hitconfirmable strings in MK9. I haven't gone through the entire cast, but out of the handful I've tried, they all have at least a single, very easily hitconfirmable string.

I haven't got to mess with everybody yet, but I've messed with Sonya and Smoke the most.
Sonya: 2,1, military stance. Allows many follow-up options after including just dashing in from military stance and doing 2,1, military stance again! It's really good.
Smoke: jump kick, air throw, smoke bomb. Gives Smoke the ability to combo off the easier jump-in attack.
I'm thinking of learning Mileena next as well. I'm working on getting her air sais down pretty low to the ground. Plus she's got some interesting normal attacks, overheads, command low attack.
You guys are missing out if all you're doing is playing some boss in single player mode... in a fighting game.

That's ridiculous. So I guess the 360 version shows connection bars while the PS3 version does not?NIN90 said:

I've been playing with the 360 joystick. Kind of thinking about picking one of those SFIV fightpads that came out awhile ago though as I don't want a fightstick for the 360.

God yes. I've gotten so many people to rage from 2,1, military to charge, dash, military to charge, etc.ptown said:
It's glorious!
The only flaws in this game are the following imo
Do the acid bath stage fatality to jax his metallic arms melt into bone, he should no longer have any arm bone at all. WTF?!? If the females have half breast tissue as one titty fully sizzles off which is massive attention to detail, how then could their artists not realize, "Wait a second here, Jax has no arms!"
Raiden a supposed "Thunder God" takes damage from Strykers Tazer EL OH EL!

Yeah one of the characters does an burn related fatality and the same thing happens with Jax. It's pretty goofy looking. (May be Smoke, how he makes peoples skin melt off, and you see Jax's arm muscle.)KiNeSiS said:

Is there any word on a 360 demo? I havent been following this closely enough but I loved Mortal Kombat and if this is anywhere near as good as the classics I would buy it.

Boon still wants to do an MK vs SF game so good on him for not biting on that one.Big One said:

Hey Bobs, been a bit since I've posted in Haroz. Anyway, there is still no 360 demo but based off your comment, I'd say it should be a safe plunge. This game is awesome and absolutely loaded with kontent. The amount of characters and stages are astounding and the stages make me so nostalgic! It's awesome seeing them with updated graphics
I think any fan of the old games will love the new Story mode and there is also the arcade ladders with seperate endings as well. If you like Soul Caliber's missions, this game has a mission tower too. The only real mark against it at the moment is that many report the online play is laggy. I personally haven't tried it as there is just so much single player stuff to do. Tag vs. with friends was very very fun. I think I found my game for when four people want to play multiplier and we can't decide on what.Protip: The official transformable d-pad controller works MUCH better than the standard 360 controller.

Playing Liu Kang online is quite terrible since his combos that lead to b+3,1,2 outside of starting with it is really hard to time with the crappy lag.
Real easy to do offline, but online, the lag really kills Kang's combos unless you want to do the lesser combos.
Luckily, Sub Zero's combos seems easy to do both online or offline.

IN a lobby you see 4 green dots, press A/X on someone and wait a few seconds to see if the meter drops to 3,2 or 1 aka ping check, in ranked you get throw in with any random willy and same with regular matches.The Lamonster said:
AKA ALWAYS go into a room and find someone with a good ping, but even then you can still get enough lag to drop combos and button inputs, yes, you can drop moves if you do them as quick as you do offline like there is no button input buffer.... lol.
Online in MK is a joke, but it can still be fun against someone with a good ping, just not perfect.
