lol @ story mode

Almost everyone BUT Johnny Cage dies. What is this I don't even

Most of them are trapped in the Netherrealm, I imagine the next MK's story will focus largely on freeing them.

Get into a match against Jeff, character screen lagged and I ended up with Mileena instead of Nightwolf. That was followed by me getting destroyed because I hadn't played Mileena yet. :(

Yeah probably. Goku will be the PS3-exclusive character and they'll go around looking for the dragonballs to revive them with.
 
I remember how disappointed I was when I found out Reptile was a low-tier jobber in MK2.

It's disappointing to see nothing has changed.

Her was such a badass as a hidden character in MK1. He had all this mystique, and it was completely wasted.

But to be fair, he has arguably the best fight scene end-to-end in the MK movie, so that's something.
 
Goddamnit, I'm so pissed PSN is down. I was really looking forward to playing KOTH. I would just play it on XBL but I swear to god I can't stand all the stupid shit people say. Not everyone should have a mic :(

Oh well, I need my fix, XBL it is I guess.

Well you will be happy to find out that reptile is godly in MK9.

NRS apologeticism aside, it's good to know they're aware of it.

You have brought a tiny ray of sunshine into my day. Hopefully they can actually fix it and it's not just horseshit damage control.

Really? I've heard nothing but bad things about him.

And I've done nothing but destroy people using him online (with Smoke and Sub Zero).

wtf how long has GAF supported nested quotes?

Yeah if this was Capcom I'd say it was BS. Still might be BS, but I guess we'll see.

Maybe this guy just assumes NRS knows about it and is planning on a fix. This is one of the guys that did the guide though IIRC so maybe he's actually talked to them about it.

Reptile is awesome, a great zoner and can do some silly juggles with his force balls.
The people you were fighting were just bad.

Well...that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

If only I had a classic skin. Would bring back memories of fighting him in arcades and getting my ass kicked.

To be fair, I was like 10, and totally not allowed to be in the arcades. So that may had added to the cool factor.

I wish I hadn't entered the scorp code. I'd trade it for Ermac's so fast.

It seems to be a bug where fatalities won't appear for player 2 in offline versus even after unlocked. Happens on both Xbox and PS3. :\

I'm hoping it's something that can be fixed soon.

Maybe while they're at it they could rework the menu so the fatalities up immediately? Instead of simply pressing start and seeing it on screen like we should, you have to hit start, hit a button, and scroll down to find them. A little long winded. In fact, basic moves should be on page 2 of the menu instead, if anything. I know X punches, NetherRealm.

Dorky nitpick complaint? Maybe. But it feels like an added insult to lose a match and then have to watch player 2 fumble through the menus.

While they are at it, they should let you keep the command list open at all times during training mode.

no blocks (re: Babalities)

Is that true? That's good to know and I'm glad they put some kind of condition for the "humiliation" like the old days. I read you could just do 'em no matter what. I've only done one to try it out and thought it was cool, sort of combines friendship elements in them.

Also regarding the net code, realistically what this means is that NetherRealm probably doesn't understand the complexities of that part of coding. Since they'd have to learn what's wrong and THEN learn how to fix it, I don't think this can be resolved overnight (if at all), sadly. If it was something simple / overlooked, I doubt it would have happened in the first place, ya know?

Yea, I will say the second time I played Jeff it was really smooth.

They just need to iron out searching, and keeping the servers up.

yup, i played 5 matches tonight and only 1 lagged really bad. The game is alot of fun online. More fun than MvC3 for me personally.

This is why babalities are awesome, and the only finishers worth doing after you've already seen your character's fatality a couple dozen times.
