So....I'm curious. What good are koins after you unlocked everything in the krypt and cleared the challenge tower?

They've officially said to expect improvements over the next couple weeks.
While I've had a few laggy matches, most of the online matches on XBL I've played have been fine. Of course not the same fluidity as playing someone on the same console, but still playable and fun.

If that's true, I wonder if you could get 4 flawlesses, then just flawless fatality shang tsung for jade...

I just finished it 10m ago (Feels good man!). 300 straight through, no skipping.
If you want the damn simplest strategy I know (the one I used)
Kurtis Stryker - Project Brutal Justice
Round 1 - Spam gun @ full screen, Goro has nothing for this and gets locked down easily.
Round 2 - Spam gun @ full screen, Kintaro will periodically jump stomp. Respond with diagonal jump punch to knock him out of it.
Round 3 - Mileena hates crossup kicks. Mix that with reasonable gun spam and basic combos
Round 4 - Spam gun @ full screen, Khan will periodically throw hammer, jump it.

I thought the TE editions had punches both on top and kicks both on the bottom by default. This is a normal MK layout.fernoca said:
That's just artwork, is not like the kicks are always going to be kick-buttons. You can customize the placement of each button.notworksafe said:
In this case the artwork of the panel reflects the artwork of the first MK game, but the layout and positioning of the buttons is the exact same.
As noted the original game didn't had a Run button, yet this new design has one. And i doubt they put some kind of lock in place to prevent people from customizing the buttons in the game.

And this new art is way better than the TE stick, IMO.fernoca said:That's just artwork, is not like the kicks are always going to be kick-buttons. You can customize the placement of each button.

Yes, you can. Didn't know you can control the ladders though, how many does the shortest one have? I've always done it where Shao Kahn makes the 10th fighter. Is there one shorter than that?ithorien said:
corrosivefrost said:Woo, finally got ladder master. My Sheeva A-game was in effect and Kahn was feeling taunty. Bad move.
Now other than the mastery of characters trophies, I'm just missing the 300th challenge...
It was not being friendly earlier, either. I couldn't even beat Goro... everything just bounced off his armor.
I can pretty consistently get the forward throw, stomp technique on expert... It was always just Kahn that effed me up (doing tag ladder gives you the double health, so Kintaro is a joke too... you can just Jump+2, uppercut most of the time and you'll win no matter what unless you let him walk all over you).
I think he's mistaken on that one, pretty sure you have to get a double flawless for Reptile. I'd love to be wrong though, as I still need Jade.corrosivefrost said:
Glad she worked for you this time, she's definitely the way to go for that achievement. Didn't do tag just because I wanted the rounds to go faster. I had it one 30 second rounds to speed things up too. 30 seconds can be a double edged sword if the computer gets a big combo off though. I ended up doing two rounds just for the cushion and incase I got lucky on Shang for the Jade achieve. I'm dreading that achievement but it's my final obstacle for single player. Did you already do the online achievements?

Finally beat Challenge Tower last night. Man, some of them were a gigantic pain in the ass. Now I can finally focus on building up one of my characters instead of doing crappy spam moves to clear challenges.

I've seen someone else mention ladder size so I think it might be possible. Maybe if the instruction booklet wasn't the biggest joke ever, we'd know. I can say that single rounds would work fine for the achievement for beating expert without continuing. It's risky though, every so often a character will get super cheap and win a round. I found with 2 rounds to win, I'd never lose.ithorien said:
fernoca said:
Ok, thanks for clarifying, heard it in a few places so didn't know if the ladder thing was true. I didn't see anywhere that you had a choice so suspected as much.

If they are going to use that layout, they should have used UMK3 art imo. My plan was to pick up one of the TE sticks and put UMK3 art on it anyway.fernoca said:Ewww...no.
It looks cool, MKII artwork would've been better; maybe it's in the plans.
From the look of things it seems to be the exact same as the Tournament Editions, memory foam and everything.
And yeah I know you can change button layout in game, but the art is correct on the new stick as far as old school layout style, which I like.
Wha? Dude's good and real solid.Akia said:
His 50/50 mix-ups nets him with at least 30+% combo if it works and it's always safe on block.
Every one of his launcher combos is safe on block. He's got a low target combo that juggles and is safe on block as well as a target launcher combo ending with mid that's also safe on block.
Basically all of his launcher normals he uses in his mix-ups outside of his worthless specials are so fucking good.

I just beat him an hour ago after countless tries. Walk up to him then jump over his head and superman his back. You can get off one lightning bolt when he gets up, just do it as soon as you land.

Haven't even redeemed my kombat pass... by the time I opened the game and started playing, it was after PSN was down -- I didn't redeem the pass because I wanted to see how the online was by word of mouth first and if it was awful see how NRS decided to handle it before I used the pass; figured it'd be easier to sell if the online was ass and I didn't end up loving the game. Now I have to wait for the PSN store to come back up before I can actually play online. :\
I never had many problems with one round @ 30 seconds on expert tag ladder... the tag gives you some nice buffer to win by timeout if necessary and extra life for the 3 bosses. With that extra buffer, I was usually good to get a couple throws in with sheeva, even if I was taking a beating... and then just stomp to death while they lay on the ground -- so long as I could build up an xray and nail the second opponent with it (if sheeva had taken a beating) that usually gave me enough room in case scorpion got put in and i had to last for a few seconds to win by life total.
For the ST double flawless, the most important thing I can stress from my experience is PATIENCE. I found that originally, I was being agressive -- I wanted that first hit no matter what in hopes that I could get them in a spear or smoke loop (usually attempted with scorpion or smoke). I came close a few times but he'd always sneak a hit in somewhere... until the day I played patiently and waited for the openings to spear or teleport remaining ducking the rest of the time... if he started an up or down fireball, i'd teleport, if he jumped in, i'd spear him on landing then do the jump+2, back+2, dash forward, uppercut loop and throw another spear as he got up. if he got too close, i'd try a defensive uppercut and then put some space between us, returning to neutral duck constantly... nice and slow and it all worked out.
--
I *think* 50/50s are target combos that hit both high and low or overhead and low... basically combos that force the opponent to change blocking stance to remain safe...
BnBs is the term for "bread and butters" or the go-to combos that you would use regularly in competitive play.

Hi Beefy!
Holy shit, you got wicked lucky that standing kick knocked him out of x-ray in round 3, or you'd have been throwing your controller at the wall.
Good job though -- slight improvement for anyone who tries it -- if it looks like you're going to get punished for guessing wrong, it doesn't hurt to teleport -- in round 1 or 2, Tuesday did it once or twice.

I tried to use my te stick for mk, and did for most of my early playing, but now im trying out the sf4 fightpad and I think I like it better. If mk didn't have a block button I would prolly stick with the stick.

I saw a thread about this on TRMK, so I wanted to see if anyone had these issues here.
I've got a T.E. stick and today, my friend told me I was echoing and that my indicator in the XBL party chat always stayed flashing even though I was making no noise. I also noticed a very faint-yet-high-pitched feedback (think dog whistle, but one a human can hear) as well. I know it's not the headset because when I plug in to the normal controller, all the issues go away. Considering how much I paid for this thing, I expect perfection and this is far from it.

It took a bit for the game to lighten up and start allowing some health bonuses between rounds... but once it did, I somehow pulled out a miraculous victory using project brutal justice.
I had a heart attack when I saw the credits after 300 and the trophy didn't pop.
I then found out I somehow missed challenges 286 and 287...
Let me tell you, 287 was a straight up bitch.
I had my fight stick upside down and was trying to limit button usage to not confuse my hands much more than they were... and then randomly, it put my buttons right. I still lost. Eventually I got it and boom, trophy! ^_^
Done with single player, save for the mastery trophies.
