Mk is one of the few fighting games where majority of the people play with a pad.
As I mentioned in other thread - maybe because I started downloading at ~6 p.m., but I never encountered most of the problems most people mentioned. With the first 3GB download or at most only a handful of parts installed (max. 5) I had only Scorpion and Sub-Zero (as opposed to not having them), and I had the snow forest stage. Zero crashes on my PC, and my PC is truly a relic (I'm upgrading soon!), except for when I tried to choose Kitana's samurai costume, it clearly wasn't installed yet. So yeah, I'm not pessimistic about the PC version at all except for the potentially terrible netcode.
EDIT: It was a "Killer Launch" alright, lol.
Nice gesture from the KI team:
Thats cool! Isnt Iron Galaxy Dev for KI now? Dave Lang and Boon worked together at Midway back in the day right?
I would love one of those mkx pads (for every fighter in general) but aparently they aren't available in europe.
I actually haven't tried my ps3 TE1 on my new pc, I remember it had problems working on some motherboards back in the day. it worked fine on my old rig. Tbh I don't really like playing MK games on it but the alternative is a 360 pad so...yeah :/

Well I have the day off tomorrow and will be going to pick up a copy after I wake up. Debating getting the premium edition as I'll end up getting the Kombat Pack anyways. Needless to say, I am very excited to get my hands on this game. Huge MK fan and this one just looks amazing in my opinion.

Rain in campaign seems to play pretty much how he did in MK9, not very much like raiden as far as I could tell. They could probably bring him over as a future DLC character without too much work
Nice gesture from the KI team:
if street fighter vs mk never happens, mk vs ki would be the next best thing.
He seemed different to me. They most likely did copy and paste his basic moves from MK9, but I'd be surprised if they just left that in in the future. Every other character got completely different move variations (aside from the signature specials naturally), even ones that were in the last game.
But there is one attack he does involving lightning and water that's pretty clearly a copy and paste job from Raiden.

I guess going AFK is the new trolling in King of the Hill?

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
I would be down for this. Killer Instinct (the reboot) and MK definitely seem compatible too.

I'm enjoying playing as Kano, I actually can use him as a SF character, turtling included. Been winning online a lot.

Yep I'm having to rest after a few attempts. On the 10th test. I can get it green but when I press a trigger I brick it.
What happened to that dumb thread about the patching of koin value? Closed because it was a bs complaint?
Turns out, I spent some time in the Krypt, and you get a lot of koins by just exploring around. A bunch of drama over nothing.
I'm waiting for my turn at king of the hill. This game is a lot of fun!

And got it. The unlock was worth I guess.
I got it fully explored now, you get probably 50k koins.

His flying stomp is pretty broken with it being unblockable and hard to avoid

This respect trophy is raising my blood pressure. Everyone gives some for the first win, then mayyyybe one person in a room full of people actually gives points after that.

Yeah, the game has very few stages, but on the other hand, they all look incredible. Lin Kuei Temple is gorgeous.

Is that cdkeys deal legit?

Eh. Never was a big raiden fan. Need someone else.
So are there really only 2 fatalities per fighter? I find that a little hard to believe, and no stage finishers is a bit nuts. I can see where most of the time and effort went, the game is visually awesome, probably the best looking fighter from a graphic and production value point. It looks amazing in motion, but the roster cut is such a shame. I miss my main man Cyrax, but I am really digging Kung Lao and Sub Zero this time around.

The game has less characters, but their quality is much higher than the MK9 huge roster. I think it is better this way.
And yes, only two fatalies per fighter + brutalities + faction kill, I think.
Ive won almost every fight online expect against good raiden players. Fucking pain in the ass man. But just you wait you raiden.....just you wait. Give me a month and my sub zero will turn you into a snow cone.

Omg fuck off Takeda. He feels OP.
2 fatalities per character is the standard for MK tho

Anyone know whays good with links in this game?
Raiden's down+circle kick has 24 frames advantage on hit. His forward+square is 7 frames startup. It should be very easy to link these moves, and it apparently is, but the combo counter doesn't pop up. Is there a reason why it doesn't combo? Do links exist in MK?

Hahah doesn't he.

Was practicing with Kotal for hours and noticed I could barely get off a hit vs. the hard mode CPU. I just switched over to Scorpion and I'm already doing much better.
I think Kotal may be too slow

Can't link in MK games. The only combos you can do in this game are the ones given to you in the move list, but you can connect them with special moves.
If you're from Street Fighter just pretend linking doesn't exist but there's a billion different target combos for each character.
Yeah, I noticed this too. Weird.

Man, this game runs like crap on my PC. I need to upgrade.
*sigh*
no its optimized pretty bad.

I think I feel ya on that. I really want Kotal to be one of my mains, the idea of dropping that EX Sun Beam in the corner is so tempting, but it's really hard to get in a combo or when they are being knocked down

So I'm looking to properly dig into the mechanics of this one. Only played MK9 very casually because it was banned in Australia for like 2 years and the community had already moved on.
I'm glad to see Shinnok return. Might make him my main depending on how he feels. MK4 introduced a lot of cool character imo. I'm hoping for Fujin as DLC eventually,

You didn't even ask what his specs are lol

But what is happening that stops the link? Can they just suddenly block it arbitrarily? What kind of system is at play?
Btw I played MK9 a bit but never really noticed you cant link. The fact that they show frame data in game made me more exploratory I guess.
