But then...that would be cheaper individually than the Kombat Pass. Weird.

Kombat Pass also includes costume packs.

So did the update not add Jason? I'm confused.
They probably added him to avoid long downloads when actually downloading him when he's out. So when you buy jason or download it, it'll just be an unlock key

Nice the game crashed for me for the very first time after this so called *Update*

The netcode feels so good after the patch.

Ooh, I love how Reptile gets a short amount of invisibility and a dash back after a cancelled xray.
And I can't seem to be able to stop the force balls... any tips?

I know disconnect from psn, blah, blah. But this crash/error message on bootup is super fucking annoying.
Honestly Mk works better on a controller than stick. I tried my stick with it and the controller just feels better for this game.

I'm the opposite. I am so much better with a stick. I fumble on the controller a lot.

Sub-Zero seems kinda useless. His ice ball takes so long to come out, it's impossible to combo into it.

When can you buy those skins separately? want that mileena
Here's one that I recorded yesterday:
https://youtu.be/8REiC180lDg
However, Cassie's launchers tend to push the opponent a medium to long horizontal distance away from her (exception being {F+BK, BK}, which is not any part of a ground combo and only serves as a launcher). So, in this video, I wouldn't be able to connect with the {Up, BP} slam after {BP, BK, BP}. In fact, I would have been limited to continuing the combo with a string that begins with {F+BP...} or {B+FP...}, as they both feature quick horizontal movement as part of their startup.
This is where the run cancel comes in. In theory, you quickly tap {F, F+BLK} then start the juggle string after you've traveled the desired distance. However, there seems to be strict timing on when you can actually start running after Cassie's launchers. Plus you then have to properly time the juggle WHILE you're running. It's hard, but not impossible. The problem is if you miss your juggle, you MIGHT be open for punishment if your opponent quick rises.
Luckily, damage scaling makes long combo strings really not too worth the effort in the end, unless you're playing at a high level tournament where every point of damage is life or death.

This "update" fucked up my Dead Woods stage.
And yet Sky Temple looks perfectly fine.
How do you manage to screw up the least busiest looking stage in terms of background stuff happening but the one with the heaviest background stuff going seems to be running even better than before?
What?

They must have over optimized those shaders
Edit: to be helpful, this is a known issue with the new patch and some video cards. The reason being, literally, that they fucked up the shaders used on that level.

The Jason patch is not out for Steam yet is it?

My guess is that they were in yesterday's 15gb update but haven't been "turned on" because clever players could potentially enable something like Jason early.
It's the only explanation I can come up with for a 15gb patch.
Is there a website, other than youtube, I can watch combo videos or read combo lists people have come up with?
YT doesn't work on my chromebook. Hasn't for months. Fuck google up the ass for this safety mode shit. (Yes I've read 900 things online on how to disable it, but it is permanently stuck and the drop down will not let me disable it. LOTS of users got it near Easter. No fix in sight)

Check out the Testyourmight forums. It is basically the SRK equivalent for Mortal Kombat, much like Dustloops is for Guilty Gear.

In Assassin? It's most definitely not unlockable.

Ew @ some of those alts.
Mileena looks cool and Sonya looks like a cutie. That's about it tho that I'd be interested in.

As a Kitana main I say this is a very good idea for a future balance patch.
I'm really liking the game so far. Been playing Jacqui, Shinnok and Ermac.
Hated the story mode though. Has terrible pacing issues. Especially parts where they just throw a bunch of fights in a row at you.
Also hated it because it made me realize that there are a bunch of partially finished characters that'll be DLC at some point with some ridiculous pricing model.
On a completely different note, screw the mobile version. Not helping with the arthritis I'm developing in my fingers.

I sure can't block it when holding down the block button
Thanks, you're right, it did work.
I'm glad to know I can get on to play, but I hope NRS can figure this out soon. Some people are reporting corrupted saves, so I'll just be sure to back mine up.

I could have sworn Reptile's Basilisk (slow down) move was able to be performed on a dime but it seems there's a cool down time now. Maybe I'm wrong about pre-patch because I haven't had/played the game long.

It also depends if you are standing or ducking and whether attack hits high or low.
Overheads for example can't blocked when ducking, and some low specials like Mileena's low Sai throw can't be blocked when standing and must always be blocked low.

Yeah I know, but kitanas charge thing just seems to ignore my block no matter if I'm standing or crouching. She just always runs up my chest and stabs me in the eyes

I really like Mileena and Sonya costumes
Sub zero would be cool if I had the scorpion skin to match but I didn't preorder from gamestop.
Oh god I hope they don't make MK4 reptile the classic skin we get for him.

Verified my Steam cache after the 15GB update.
Dead Woods stage is STILL fucked up.
In both the regular and red versions. Nasty square-like graphical artifacts everywhere yet every other stage does not have this issue.
Edit: So apparently over at Testyourmight this says problem doesn't exist if you go backwards to Catalyst 14.9 (the patch before Omega). Why the hell would I want to lose the benefits that came with Catalyst Omega just to fix some stage issue.
Shifting the blame saying it's an ATI issue and not a the issue with the update. Newsflash. I didn't have these problems on Dead Woods PRIOR to the patch on Catalyst Omega, so ATI isn't the problem here.

Combo Breakers require two bars of meter, It's block+Forward during a combo.
