How can the computer pull off some of these combos against me but I can't seem to do this shit in training?
Like I fought against Noob and he did a punch combo and then while I was flying backwards he sent a low shadow kick.
I'm trying it right now in training and it is IMPOSSIBLE to do...seriously.
The input in this thing is kinda odd.

Just got my copy of this today in the mail. Holy crap, this game is awesome. The presentation, the game play, the raw shit-ton of content in this game is just un fucking believable. Thus games gonna be running my life for the next week or so, I'm sure.
Btw totally didn't know this game was 3D enabled when I bought it. And if anyone is wonder it's pretty damn good looking. And as far as I can tell it really doesn't affect frame rate at all. In game however I usually switch it off (I don't like wearing the glasses while I'm fighting) but for the cutscenes it's pretty cool add-on. Overall I'd say very well done as far as 3D implementation is concerned.

Mortal Kombat still has awkward gameplay.
Thankfully, now, it looks better.
Some stage design is REALLY nice and epic. I can't be excited for characters based on hwo many there are, when they all share SO MANY NORMALS, but I do love the attention to detail they put in what they actually changed (Uppercuts, Sweeps, and of course, specials.)
2 stupid glitches I encountered (360):
Ugh. I will admit this game feels like 2 different games VS when you're flailing as a Noob
, and actually trying to master one. But WHY IS EVERYTHING STILL SO STUPID?!?! I will never understand why Sub Zero tosses a FIREBALL from his HAND with a KICK button. Argh.
Also annoyed at odd "false" hitstun on moves. A character will stagger back dramatically, and you'll do a move that LOOKS like it should hit, but for some reason, the character can start blocking "during" the stagger. It's not a horrible thing, but I wish this game had more normalized staggering, rather than effects stuff that serves little purpose.
Block + Button is also one of the oddest layouts for EX moves I've ever seen, lol. And then you have things like Kano's roll, were it's EXed by pressing a button, but has no button naturally... there's just SO MANY ODD DECISIONS. X-Rays feel pretty natural, however, Don't mind throws or the variety of tags either. In the tag aspect, it's almost like getting Skullgirls early! ^_^
I'm, so far, more willing to learn THIS game than MKvsDC, however. It does feel more competent, but I'll have to see how it stands up to intense gameplay for a few days before I really get comfortable with it...

2 stupid glitches I encountered (360):
- When doing the "Quan Chi mind control's Kano!" Challenge tower mission (in the 20s) the game showed me buttons that DIDN'T corrospond to my stick, which had a custom config. The buttons ONLY worked with a default Config. This was really annoying.
- After THAT happens, I noticed 2 vertecies on Kano's Model were stuck at the back, where he started walking. I quite the mode, and thought nothing of it. So I headed to start story mode, and lo and behold, Reptil and Cage had pieces of their geometry getting stuck ALL OVER THE SCREEN, stuck tounges, bowties, pretty much anything with physics. Had to restart the game to cure this.

I meant from a casual standpoint rather than anything actually competitive, since MK was never something I delved deeply into. Kabal was always my favorite (for totally superficial reasons) but friends and such never played or talked about him much as I recall. I liked Cyrax as well but he's always been hugely popular.

This annoyed me quite a bit too in the demo. Sub Zero has no specials that use BP...why not use that button instead of making it confusing for us noobs. Same with scorpion's teleport punch...why is it with KICK?! It makes specials harder to memorize when you're learning all the characters and the button inputs that correspond don't match up like most games. I mean maybe I'm just a super noob here...is there a method to this madness that I'm missing?

The button stuff is mind blowing.

Can anybody tell me what the hell Smoke's Shake move does? He just sits there. Completely vulnerable to attack. No damage done based on proximity. Am I missing something?
Also, sometimes I teleport from the top of the screen all Sheeva style. How am I doing that?

"Why is there no body damage in story mode?"
Same reason there're no fatalities.

Pardon me if I missed this upthread... wasn't there supposed to be an offline replay saving system in MK? Thought I read about it in an interview...?

Lol. Reminds me of Terry's rising tackle.
Bought the blu-rays for Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat Annihilation, and since I don't have the game or a console to play the game on, I have two free codes to get the classic Jade character costume. So let's make this interesting, till 2am EST, I am taking submissions for funniest MK related picture. Top two get the codes. Post them in this thread please.

Is there any way to make your own single event, like pick your guy, your enemy and your stage?
I tried doing it in practice mode but my opponent wouldn't die, they kept getting their health back.

I'm not worried about online yet... The single player content is well worth 60 bucks.
the presentation，graphics, sound, and game modes are really good. the fighting engine is classic MK with some improvements. I love it.
single player gameplay is enough for me.

Anyone plan on using a web kode to link their account to this site: http://www.themortalkombat.com/
Sounds like a neat feature, but something I'm not really interested in
