I know you mean the beat the tower achivement, but there's still another achivement for getting the reward, which you unlock even with buying out the tower.

It was more of an FYI so people remember what challenges to go back on. Frankly, you have nothing to spend your cash on after you got 100% on the krypt. You can use the coins to skip alot of annoying challenges instead.

 

[Chamber]

I hate the Krypt for one reason. The damn screamer.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

That screamer made me shit a brick.

 

[Squall ASF]

Got the achievements for beating Arcade on Expert without using a continue and the one from Test Your Luck. I think the only single player achievement I'm missing is Jade's which I'm not looking forward to. Tried it once a week back and Shang would just get me with the lamest hit every time. I'm going to try out the Shiva Forward throw thing but it doesn't work consistently so it probably will be a waste of time. Might be able to get it just spamming the tele-stomp. So long as he doesn't more into someone with a vertical teleport...

Can't wait to finish this so I can at last start training with one character to get really good.

 

[Neuromancer]

Haha, I love that they put that in there...

 

[Fox Mulder]

oh my fucking god..

I was having trouble with challenge 101 in the tower, where you use baraka and mileena and the four face buttons for attacks. So I fucking kept failing because of mileena's aerial attack timing, and eventually notice

only the black shirts jump

. GODDAMNIT! So fucking obvious...and evil.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

I have to ask again. Did anyone email Prima about the replacement cards and did they get some kind of confirmation email? I didn't yet and I'm wondering if it's because I didn't include my email address IN the email. Hopefully that doesn't matter...

A friend emailed them, and he says he never got any confirmation. Their blog still hasn't updated since that post, so guess the cards are not ready yet.

The post says:

Please be patient with us as we print and ship the new cards. You can request them now, and we will notify you as soon as we have a definite delivery date.

So it seems they'll notify people when they have them ready.

 

[Buttchin]

just beat the final shao kahn fight in single player... man that guy is a cheap fucking bastard

 

[infinityBCRT]

Did anyone see the post over at SRK with the videos of Cyrax/Sektor MK3 costumes and Fujin as possible DLC? Didn't see it posted in the last few pages, not sure if I missed it.

 

[Weenerz]

Yea, it was posted. I can't wait for some DLC characters for this game, the developers earned my money with how good this game is.

That one pissed me off, haha.

Spoiler

I thought one of them had no arms or something, and that was the one that always jumped...been awhile.

You start so close together and don't have enough time to get a pattern down before you die, I retried it atleast 15 times before I noticed that, and it was annoying having to rewatch mileena and baraka do all 4 attacks each time.

 

[Rattles]

can you not practise babality's in the fatality trainer?

 

[fernoca]

can you not practise babality's in the fatality trainer?

Nope.
Probably because you need to do something (i.e. not block) to be able to perform it, and are not listed anywhere in the game, until you perform them during a match.

 

[Fersis]

If you wanna play me and mike in mk9 we made a room called crosscountertv. On xbl gogogo

Join the Crosscounter MK room!

 

[Weenerz]

Nope.

Are you sure you can't block to be able to perform them? I block every round I am in and I can do them.

 

[Rattles]

Maybe it's grab. Sometimes it won't let me do them so i just keep my fingers off the triggers.

 

[fernoca]

Let's see...starting the game now.

(Kitana in Ladder)

Block:
1. Blocked both rounds and worked.

Grab:
2. Grabbed on Round 1, but no Round 2 and worked.
3. Grabbed on both rounds and worked.


Hmmm..still testing...


4. Did X-Rays, Enhanced and counters on fourth match...and worked.
5. Same...
6. Lost 1st Round on purpose other 2 rounds doing everything..and worked.
7. Same as #5
8. Same as #7

 

[jackdoe]

Haha. I just got a "Toasty". Brings me back. Love the game so far.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

I chuckled when I got a Toasty! In MK1 didn't you only get that if you spammed Scorpion's fire fatality?

 

[fernoca]

So now..I don't know. What's the one thing you don't need to do to perform Babalities.

 

[Slamtastic]

So now..I don't know. What's the one thing you don't need to do to perform Babalities.

Lose the match.

 

[OneMoreQuestion]

So now..I don't know. What's the one thing you don't need to do to perform Babalities.

Don't lose the overall match.

EDIT: I've been Babalitied

 

[TheHakku]

So now..I don't know. What's the one thing you don't need to do to perform Babalities.

Did you actually get hit while blocking, and try that? Otherwise, no idea.

 

[fernoca]

Lose the match.

Yep, also lost on purpose 1 round, and so on. Still all Babalities.

 

[infinityBCRT]

From my experience it was that you can't get hit while blocking in the winning/final round.

 

[corrosivefrost]

That screamer made me shit a brick.

heard the footsteps, never saw him.

3 goros down. up to 286 now. bought my way through the rest just to get the unlocks/trophies and still have over 170k in koins. :lol

Who did you use for the expert ladder no continues?
I have that and the 300 challenge single player trophies left.
I can get to Shao Kahn using the Sheeva throw > stomp trick, but Shao Kahn always beasts on me. Open to suggestions for my second -- I've tried Smoke and Scorpion and gotten close, but not gotten it yet.

As for Shang Tsung, you could try the Sheeva trick, but you need to be on a higher difficulty (in my experience) to get the glitch to occur.
When I did it, I was using smoke and accidentally picked scorpion on the rematch... the best thing I can say is keep your distance, duck his fireball, spear, combo, stay ducking, spear, combo, repeat.

 

[TheHakku]

Tag ladder could help out. It works.

Also, there's no screamer warning like footsteps.

 

[Frankfurt]

I 100% the Krypt, got the 4 secret chests and never saw the screamer.

 

[Diablohead]

First time I loaded the Krypt he never appeared for 15 minutes, quit out and went back in, about 1 second after I started moving he appeared, all that time I was ready for him to shock me but not 1 second in! lol

 

[Vormund]

I hate the Krypt for one reason. The damn screamer.

The very first time I went to the krypt I got the screamer.

 

[corrosivefrost]

I could hear footsteps all around me at points, but I always exited the crypt before anything ever popped up.

--

I've been doing Tag ladder on expert and it doesn't help. Shao Kahn still murders me. Who is the easiest person to cheese the hell out of him with? I'm half thinking Stryker, after taking out 3 Shao Kahns using the gunshot move.

 

[Nome]

Just do what I do and turn off the sound when you go to the Krypt. It's actually quite comical when it pops up without sound.

 

[Fox Mulder]

The very first time I went to the krypt I got the screamer.

he got me when I was looking for the bugs on the ground.

 

[Degen]

The very first time I went to the krypt I got the screamer.

i pretty much scanned the whole perimeter just looking at the different zones on my first "visit." i managed to look at the last area for about ten seconds and BAM

the next day, it took about 45 seconds lol

 

[fernoca]

Awesome!
Pacquiao-Mosley is sponsored by Mortal Kombat! (?) XD

 

[corrosivefrost]

So Shao Kahn ate Sheeva/Stryker for breakfast. Fuck.

299/300 challenges complete.

I managed to unlock everything and didn't see it once

 

[Shadowlink]

Saw some of the DLC videos. Spoiler tagging just incase!

Spoiler

Classic Cyrax is so bad ass! Glad they decided to add more classic costumes. What is the point of that DLC character with the weird ass winning pose? Other than that, what are they also including for DLC?

Nothing to tell at the moment.
Everything points to the leaked video being a hack of the Xbox 360 version, not actual DLC that was leaked. For all we know it's redundant data that they left on the disc either on purpose or because they forgot about it. Like Skarlett; she's there, but incomplete.

The only thing they've said about DLC is that Kenshi and Skarlett will be in the first wave of DLC.

classic Cyrax is real.

I'd be using that

Yeah it was awesome and looked nice, so let's (wait and) see. The original leaked files hinted at other retro-costumes for the ninja-ladies.

Hope everything's sorted on the PSN soon.

 

[mjc]

Alright...I'm on challenge 300. Should I just let myself lose 10-15 times so my health bar regens after each fight?

Same! Still haven't redeemed my classic reptile costume.

Also link to the vid?

Awesome. I hope we see more classic outfits.

 

[Carnby]

Yep, also lost on purpose 1 round, and so on. Still all Babalities.

In MK2, in order to perform a Babality, you could not use a punch button. Maybe that's the stipulation.

 

[Shakala]

So I originally planned to use Scorpion as my main character (because he's obviously badass) until I looked at his *****s. I was disappointed at how easy they looked compared to others and can't help but feel like he's cheap

Spoiler

Still love him though

EDIT: Apparently, combos with a k is filtered?

 

[corrosivefrost]

Doubt it. I'm an abuser of jump+2, uppercut. 95 percent of my arcade runs on beginner dealt with all challengers (save Shao Kahn) this way.
