Completed Story Mode tonight, Shao Kahn wasn't as hard as some folks made him out to be, just spam the crap out of teleport + uppercut.

Neat. Nice to know. Thanks.fernoca said:
Yeah, had an Angelina Jolie-like..thing.sleepykyo said:
While I had no problems with the other female-faces, I kinda get the feeling that in cases like Kitana and Jade they tried to give them a face around the proportions of the masks they wear...and then on Kitana shoe-horne aspects of Sindel's face on those proportions; making them look weird (or manly to some
).Then again, that doesn't explain Sonya...
According to Cheapass and a few fellows on this thread, around May 9 they received an email with the "shipping in May 12" message. Check the junk-folder or other emails around that date just in case.Blueblur1 said:I sent an e-mail to Prima about getting replacement cards and never got a response.
Let me ask my friend that ordered one, to confirm the date/email.
EDIT:
Yep, On May 9 from feedback@primagames.com:

Am I correct in thinking that ladder and krypt simply unlock the same costume for a character and there is no second alternate? I beat ladder with Kabal and unlocked his alternate costume, then proceeded to look online where I could unlock his alternate costume in the krypt but I didn't get another one.
Too bad, his alternate costume was a little dissapointing. Especially since they tease an awesome one in his ending movie.

in story mode. A bit of annoying fight, my Raiden needs some practice for that one. Also
ah well, still enjoying it lots.

Raiden versus zombies
Also
anyone else thought it was kinda silly how Sindel simply murders all the 'heroes' in less than 2 seconds. If it were that easy this whole time...

Each character has 1 alt outfit you can earn/unlock, some of the ninjas have classic outfits and mileena has one bonus, that's all so far.
Reminds me I still have an unused set of female classic codes game sent me still unused, I never play them.

Over on the Test Your Might forums Tom Brady is saying that the Cyrax bomb trap tweak/hotfix is supposed to be dropping today. Supposedly he will no longer have the guaranteed advantage after his command grab. Then when the full patch drops I guess they are going to make it much easier to break the command grab. I really like Cyrax in this game, but don't really use the bomb trap much, but I can imagine some people disliking this.
I prefer doing the 1, 2, enhanced bomb, medium bomb, uppercut, b+2, 3, 3, reverse kick, ragdoll combo anyway. You can tweak it around and add a few hits, it can easily get over 50% with one bar of meter.

Yea I was suprised as well. I was about to sell my ps3 version since Psn was down, glad I didn't.
So far the online has been pretty smooth for the most part. I played atleast 20 matches last night with little lag. I stopped using wireless for the connection though, so I'm sure that helped.
My tag is alliance4g63 if anyone wants to play some good matches tonite.

Blah, making it easier to break out of his command grab is one thing, but getting rid of his guaranteed advantage after it on top of making it easier to break out of is just too much of a nerf.W Hudson said:
Alright thanks.Struct09 said:
So has anyone else switched L1&R1 around with L2&R2 on the PS controller? Blocking feels a lot more comfortable and responsive this way.
Anyway, currently on the

The netcode is among the worst in any game i've seen. Actually.. it is THE worst. Laughable.simtmb said:What is with this games online? I'm in a lobby with what i assume to be Australians (the room is named that), everyone has full green bars, yet i can't vs a single person? Lags at the character select screen then i get given "game session is no longer available" message.

Definitely. I didn't really believe what everyone said, but then when PSN went back up, got to experience it myself. Absolutely atrocious. =/

Perhaps add a tad of recovery to Kungs low hat? I reckon if i was to nerf anything else with Kung, it'd probably be that, but tbh, i feel the damage nerf is enough for him.
My 4 main gripes.
Kung's spin
Ermac's tele-grab
Scorpion's hellfire
Raiden's teleport
Kung can juggle ridiculously.
Ermac gets constant free punishes, and can spam endlessly.
Scorpion can camp, and punish blocks with fire. It also hits moving people. Basically only jumps cause hellfire to whiff.
Raiden's Teleport is kick, and at least for me iffy to punish.

Is anyone else a little annoyed with this game's AI?
I beat the story mode a couple weeks ago now (well, early last week) and absolutely loved it, obviously I found some of the fights kinds of cheap
but overall it wasn't too bad. I'm slowly working up the Challenge Tower but I'm not trying to knock out 100 at a time or anything. I've also been playing around with Arcade Ladder, however I'm getting more and more tired of the AI opponents in this game and the Ladder's weird difficulty curve. It could be I'm just wrong though and I suck even more than I realize since I haven't really had a chance to play with real people (played a few lag inducing matches via the free trial before it expired and now I have to wait for the PSN store to come back to redeem my code).
For one I find the AI blocks excessively, they turtle and they're too good at blocking high and low attacks. On one hand it makes it annoying as I can barely ever fit in real combos, I know part of it is lack of skill on my part at missing out on combos when I do end up connecting by whiffing my button presses but it's still a little insane. On the other hand though they're EXTREMELY easy to grab because of this, I hate abusing moves and watching the same grab animation five or six times during a match but it's just too easy and almost feels necessary. From the few descent (lag light) matches I got in online it was much more dynamic with big combos going back and forth, strategic blocking, jumping, ducking, and barely any grabbing at all. It seems the same for all the multiplayer matches I've watched on Youtube, JustinTV, and GiantBomb.
I'm honestly having more fun in Practice Mode just learning good combos for the characters I'll theoretically be playing when PSN store come back and hopefully the netcode patch fixes things. I got some really good Liu Kang and Nightwolf combos down and may start messing around with Sindel or Cyrax soon as they seem interesting.

Mortal Kombat figures this summer!
From TRMK:
Overall, I do like them..though they do look a little more.."cartoony" than the original artwork they're based on (at least the proportions of the body and the face), still nice.

Wow, played about 11 matches today, all spread out between 1on1, koth, and ranked, and pretty much NO lag at all. Don't know if its because of today's mini patch or because it's midday with less traffic, but 100% improvement from the past 6 nights.
This except PS3 for me.bumpkin said:Are they for the 360 or PS3? If they're for 360, I'd be interested in one of the codes if you don't mind. I saw someone before me asked about Kitana, but I'd be cool with Jade or Mileena.
Also, I kind of need that Johnny Cage figure. While the other ones probably look a lot cooler there's something kind of meta about owning a Johnny Cage action figure.

It'd be awesome to have Jade. Or Mileena. Wish I could offer something for either.
goddamn, the counter-picking is so annoying.
I play Sindel vs the guy's main. The one he knows the comboes and stuff; I win some, because I lost a lot against that character, I learned the match-up, he could do the same, he could lose to me until he learn how to deal with the zoning and stuff. But nooo, he goes and pick Smoke.
90% of my fights are against smoke and none of them are against a smoke player. It's always the same thing: guy loses, thinks the anti-fireball character will do good against the fireball character and picks smoke.
So tired of this one fight.

Kahn and the Goro Twins aren't scary if you get into boss mentality. They all are designed to die against serious combos too - once you exploit their pattern and get the first hit in, you can combo the shit out of them.
They're just frustrating and unfair if you want to stay in one place and stick out footsies or something, like a regular fight.

I experienced the same thing just now. I'm not sure if it's because I don't usually play at this time or they legitimately fixed something. I actually joined a room not near my region and thought there would be lag. Only once did I notice a hiccup and then it smoothed out.
