MvC feels like arbitrary inputs? Huh? You're going from light attacks to strong attacks and when you press the buttons in sequence, the animations don't actually change and they make sense.
In MK, when you dial a combo, the character does moves that don't even remotely resemble what they would look like outside of the combo. Kick buttons don't even always do kicks, and punches don't alway do punches.

It feels more natural for me to have the block button by my thumb. Plus, I can dash cancel much easier that way.

Anyone else pick up the guide?
I'm finding it lackluster.
For one, the position you need to be in for Fatalities doesn't appear to be accurate for all of them. I apologize that I don't have a specific example at the moment, but I'm at work.
It also doesn't have
, at least from what I could find.
It doesn't show where the secret krypts are either, though it does say they're secret krypts. A little annoying.

Got the game (preordered)
I used to think Boon was those fly by night dudes, but MK9 just on story ALONE proves he has talent.
The problem some might be having with the move sets and combos MK is a more type and fire instead of using the thumb and firing. I mean both work but the later is pray it hits.
As for Kratos - lets take Dante for instance from MVC3, he has so many move sets but nobody ever got a handle on him except for a few as of now. Give it some weeks and the people that stick with him will see dividends.
Online, this is a tricky one. I LOVE King of the HILL. Its the best online thing yet on any of the fighters. The whole fucking thing is a god send after another. Reminds me of the OLD days as a kid.
Ranked needs to be faster searching.
Lets put this this way about Online though, the lag can be horribad at times but the twenty or so matches i was on 5 were great, 10 were good, 5 were fair and about 2 or 3 were bad. The one second delay is gonna take getting used to. There will be patches.
Outside of a few nags the game is a great effort and a great start for the rebirth of the franchise.

Yeah, I'm a bit bummed with the kollector's guide I bought for the reasons you listed. I also thought it might have some strategies on how to beat that cheap ass mofo Khan. I'd also hoped for a better art collection. Several full pages dedicated to it would've been nice instead of being mixed in with the interview stuff.
The laminated character move list cards are pretty sweet though, but like you said they don't list the fatality distance requirements or babalities sadly.

That won't work if your X-Ray is a counter though, right?Criminal Upper said:

This is true. Although the one thing I have small problems with executing is the EX moves because of the Block button use. So it's either the use of thumb with the block at R2 or block set to L2, using the index and middle finger. Man. It's been so long since I've played a fighter on a pad. Good times though.

I'm taking part in a Whiskey Media Scrub League Invitational Ladder tournament tomorrow. Not sure if it will be part of TNT but there's a good chance you'll get to see me get the shit kicked out of me seven different ways. Tune in for LOLs!

Well on the other hand, how old were you the first time you played a MK game? Now making them watch you play Silent Hill or Siren, thats another story. They'll probably just sit there and either ask to play or say "thats nasty" and go do something else

Is there a place on the internet to look at all the alternate costumes?
SOLDIER said:
I got both versions, and was switching between them both yesterday. The Xbox 360 version looked noticeably better on my TV, mostly due to the colors seeming to pop more. I played online with both versions, having slightly better performance on XBL. I did play with some friends on PSN and it was completely playable.

Completely OT, but that poster reminds me of that one fighting game that actually projected a 3D hologram. Game sucked of course, but the affect was pretty cool. Anybody remember what that was called?

So I caved in and bought it even though I shouldn't have. HOLY FUCK THIS GAME IS SO NOSTALGIC.

Loving this game, Kung Lao is the shit. Online has been shaky for me, hope it improves.

The setup/technology looks pretty similar to what I remember, but I could've sworn the game I was thinking of was like holographic rock 'em sock 'em robots. It's been a while though so maybe I got some wires crossed somewhere and it is Time Traveler.

Not quite.
MK: general b&b, ground game (probably), wall combo
SF: general b&b, ground game (untechable finisher), wall combo, max stun,
Tekken: general b&b, ground game (better okizeme), wall combo, wall carry
VF: ibid, open/close stance
All fighting games probably have the first 3, but then they have something else.

I was 5 years older then them. Have you any idea about little childrens psychic? I helped rising my little nephew and I know how easily they are getting scared.
If you think showing this
to a 5 yo is fine, you're out of your freaking mind.
Before someone sends a social worker to my house, I was kidding. I do have to entertain kiddies and am counting on Rock Band and the flashing seizure lights of MvC3 to do the trick.
Now, I was a little older than they are when I played MK1 for the first time and saw the Kano fatality. If I wasn't at some rough bodega with the cabinets outside the store, I would've sat down and fanned myself.

LOL, Kung Lao's fatality is using his hat as a buzzsaw to split his opponent in two? NEW MAIN CANDIDATE!

That reminds me of NerdJosh's joke after seeing Noob's finisher on Kitania. At least I think the response was a joke.

The krypt's interface is awful, I'm getting a headache just by moving around this shitfest.
OSHAN said:
Yeah I pre ordered before deciding on whether to pick up the game up or not. I have the guide and the Mad Catz panel top but not the game yet lol.
In any case I did find it lackluster it's definitely not as in depth as the MvC3 guide. Why would they only show screens of one fatality and not both, or how to unlock the secret characters, frame data, etc
I mean it's pretty and all with the hardcover but I was surprised at what was missing.
