Car in the highway stage. Passes in front of both players and obscures them. That's the one stage I won't play in a tourney, everything else isn't so bad.Squall ASF said:

I think I'm gonna start working on learning a couple new characters this week, starting with Sektor. Anybody here use him? Only seen him maybe 2-3 times out of around 500 online matches, but in practice his combos seem pretty powerful and he is fun to mess around with. It seems like the 1,2,b+2 (launcher) into f+4,4 into Teleport Uppercut is his BnB combo, anyone got any good variations of that or anything other suggestions for him?
I'd also add that IMO Sektor has the best combination of Fatalities in the game, followed by maybe Kung Lao and Ermac. What seems to be the consensus around here?

And does it use ice clones in any way? Cause if it does, I'm not interested. I suck with that move, lol.

Ok Netherrealm, if you are reading this -
WHY THE FUCK IS THERE LAG IN THE RANKED MATCH CHARACTER SELECTION SCREEN?
Are you fucking kidding me? Sorry for ranting but this is just embarrassing. It's a fucking menu screen, does there really need to be lag here? Sometimes I have to press the d-pad multiple times before it even registers my keypress. And when it does register, it takes like a half second to even move my cursor. Are you serious? You expect people to play the actual game which needs to run at 60FPS when something which is fine running at 5FPS is STILL unusable?
I know your shit isn't terrible, because non-ranked games are significantly more playable than ranked matches.
FIX THIS SHIT

In regards to Sektor combo's:
1,2 b+1, either jump kick xx teleport upper, jump kick, ex teleport upper, back+2,forward+2 is probably the big damage combo I use for him. Due to the amount of damage it does it's useful to just use meter for ex teleports or breakers.
You can combo into teleports from his overhead U+3,4 and from his low chain, which I think is forward 3,4. I forget the command on the low chain.
He's not too bad. I have fun with him, but Reptile is my favorite personally.

Are you talking about trying to hit the smoke bomb after you hit the jump kick + air throw following the launcher? I was trying that a lot yesterday after watching MarkMan kick ass with it in the PDP tournament, and I had a ton of problems getting it to combo as well. It seems like you need to be fairly close to the ground when you land the jump kick + air throw, then input the smoke bomb just prior to landing. The timing window on it seemed very difficult to say the least.

Anyone got any good tips for Nightwolf? I just started practicing with him after getting pretty comfortable with Liu Kang. I've been looking for a good BnB combo but the best one I found seems a little difficult, not sure if it's the best one:
f+3, 1, d, f, 1, step forward, 1, 1, d, f, 2
Basically it's the start of his Full Moon combo but brought into an Axe Swing which knocks them into the air, then I have to step forward to catch them, start his Blade and Edge combo but instead of that last stab grab them in the air with the Choke. It's a good damage combo but it's a little tough motioning around all those front punches and stepping forward - plus there's no switching it up... You can block the whole thing high (which doesn't really make since considering the first hit consists of Nightwolf stomping on your foot.
Maybe I'm just got getting the concept of a BnB combo, should it be simpler than that?
Also I'm having a hard time fitting his Arrow Shot into anything and a lot of times end up abusing his Shoulder dash attack - trying to get away from that.

FINALLY got to properly play this online thanks to PSN and all.
And it's so great. This game is so good. There is lag, the netcode is a piece of shit, but, the better gift possible was given to players outside of the US.
Chat rooms with names on them. Now I can just find the "Brasil" room and not worry about getting paired with someone too far away.
So lag is manageable, I can hit some combos and juggles. I don't really feel that lag is making me win or lose matches, even if it is definetly there. Can't wait for it to improve.
Anyway, this game is the awesome. Maining Sindel and it is so hard for people to get around her zoning, even with teleport characters, it is hard, because it is kind of predictable when people are going to teleport and punishment is well served. Fighting Kung Lao is a bitch just because getting caught in a random spin is death, that thing should be slightly less safe, not that much, tho, it is not that safe (but, yeah, pretty safe for something with that much reward).
Also playing Kitana a bit, she is good, I hope to get better with her.

I input this every match. If the game had an option to switch over to classic music permanently I'd gladly use it.

hit start when selecting a stageSpace A Cobra said:
Just browsing the Nekropolis arts and such... They just have to bring us a dramatic battle against the Tormentor at some point.
Make him reasonably slow, give him a Khan+ life, ultra armor (no x-ray, freeze, lifts), and an epic 70% x-ray.
That'd be quite fun. Stick and move.

oooh 61% mid screen X-Ray combo from sub, bit of a bitch to pull off but pratice makes perfect, hey if I can do it, anyone can lol.
Wonder if I will ever pull it off online... would be so rage for the opponent.
*edit* LOL playback can't record my action fast enough and drops the combo, so much for recording it for youtube.

Any Aussies had trouble with customs yet?

I played a dude in the UK when the game first came out and it was one of most lag-free sets of matches I had played until then.
But yeah, in general it would make things pretty bad. Unless they let you filter by region, which they should've done in the first place.

Doesn't matter. Oh well I'll just keep playing, hopefully i pops up later.
Curses to not being able to redeem my kombat code due to store being down. Using the free trial period right now and played 5 matches, join room -> 4 1 on 1 matches, 1 koth the hill match. Never would have thought possible, but this has taken Tekken DR's spot for worst netcode, I've seen in a fighter.

I played online most of the day yesterday, and that mostly consisted of being unable to find a ranked match and frequent insane lag (PS3). Which is a bummer, because I'm well ready to get my Kitana and her 50% BnB combo up in your faces.
I know that Drysleepykyo said:
p) and a few others say that I'm too condescending when it comes to MK, but even haunts and a few others have said that while the netcode is not perfect, is not the worst out there ever. Plus on PSN:
1. PSN was having problems before April 19, to then being shutdown in April 20/21.
2. PSN just recently came back and it still manages to get shutdown here and there for maintenance, so things are not that perfect.
That the netcode is relatively bad depending on many things yeah; I mean I didn't had many problems back then and had a few lag matches yesterday. Just came back from 5 KOTH matches and no lag..and was really owned by an awesome Ermac too. XD
But it is not the worst netcode ever, neither better than older games..which sucks too.

I think you do want to restart. I dunno, I completed the challenge after a few tries, but I know I've read specifics somewhere that suggest your health bar will refill after each opponent if you lose enough.
