Krypt unlocks overview

yeah so...best way to farm koins? :|

 

[Huw_Dawson]

Takeda is the best character in the game.

 

[drotahorror]

Is there anyway to see the challenges in the game? Every now and then on the left side of the screen something will pop up like "Uppercut level 2, XP and Coins etc"

Where can I view that information?

Offline Kombat Stats iirc.

 

[mgs2master2]

All characters, revenants or not, have their "regular" look as a costume.

As for the bit in your spoiler tag:

Spoiler

Since Quan Chi died, the 4 of them (Kung Lao, Sindel, Liu Kang, Kitana) will probably never be resurrected. And the latter two are the new rulers of the Netherrealm.

lol....

Spoiler

what about that bullshit with Evil Raiden at the end. What the hell was that all about?

That's it, thanks.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Takeda is the best character in the game.

He is the best newcomer IMO.

good thing they didn't give him telekenetic powers like kenshi cuz then he would be too OP

 

[Omega Ultimus]

I dont know, it never told me to select at the start of the story.

I think you can see and change the story difficulty in the options menu under "gameplay". It's auto set to Medium I believe.

 

[Akiyama_AE]

Can match recording be turned off? its eating away my PS+ Cloud saves

 

[BIGWORM]

He is the best newcomer IMO.

Him retrieving his plasma sword could be considered TK.

 

[ManUnkindH]

Are there any good combo tutorials for 'tards? I'm speaking about my cousin of course *cough*

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Started online for the first time tonight. Went 10-0 on ranked. Some guy whose record was like 1-7 got mad as fuck when I did a fatality on him. "Do another fatality you douchebag, I've already seen that one."

Lol

Also, netcode isn't perfect, but I've had plenty of good matches

Spoiler

over wifi

. Only my first match was truly poor. I had two with some notable input delay, but it was manageable. Rest were borderline perfect.

 

[Professor Beef]

lol....

Spoiler

Spoiler

Shinnok contaminating the Jinsei affected Raiden as he was purifying it, so now we have Dark Raiden from Deception with Shinnok's amulet (although I don't know how much power it has since Shinnok is just a head now).

 

[Marvel]

Cassie Cage is the best character in the game.

Agreed.

Spoiler

lol

 

[Waldini]

Spoiler

Spoiler

I do hope they continue with the Dark Raiden story. Still think Lui Kang, Kitana (and the rest of the goon-squad) should be returned to the "good" side.

Raiden didn't threathen Earth-Realm did he? He said he'd kill everyone who ment Earth-Realm harm... didn't really understand the ending.

 

[Nyx]

I think most characters if not all have their good parts.

I'm playing through the klassic tower with every character for all the endings and every char I try has something that I like..

Which is a good thing btw.
Might end up playing ''random'' online.

 

[Surface of Me]

FUCK EASY MAC

 

[Killer]

Either figure them out yourself or the krypt

You could just find all the inputs online and that should unlock em

They're in the Krypt. If you know the movements you can do the other fatalities without unlocking them first though.

Thanks!

 

[Omega Ultimus]

If you could compare real players against CPU difficulty, what difficulty level would the real players be, on average?

 

[mgs2master2]

Spoiler

So....

Spoiler

are we expecting a sequel or dlc campaign? Or is it too early to speculate?

Well I looked and I was on Medium. So Easy? I'm being completely serious, no player I've fought online have been as cheap, ruthless, or with as quick reaction time as the Medium AI for me. It's a perfect example of how not to balance your game.

Spoiler

Raiden didn't threaten Earth. He is still the protector of Earth. He's militant not evil. His point was basically that he's done fucking around and he is going to be aggressive in ending threats to Earthrealm.

Liu Kang and Kitana are now the Emperor and Empress of Netherrealm, since Shinnok and Quan Chi are dead. Presumably he is allowing this to happen since someone would need to be in charge of Netherrealm and at least they're familiar to him. His warning to them is essentially him saying they're free to rule Netherrealm but if they even think of invading Earth he will come for them.

Guess I'll try online, then. Thanks.

Also, if you think Medium is hard, don't try "Hard". That's approaching Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom levels of difficult AI.

 

[Shackzam]

I've been playing with Jaqui a lot (Shotgun variation). She has some tricky resets and frame traps. Like cancelling D1 or D3 with horizontal shotgun is zero on block, but spaces them out pretty well for some of Jaqui's strings to be useful and beating out people's normals. I like all the resets in this variations and how you can almost put the opponent into a loop of resets with the low shotgun blast stunning them.

I need to play more of full auto and some high tech because of the amount of chip high tech is supposed to do.

 

[Professor Beef]

Way too early, it's barely been a day lol. I'm personally not expecting a DLC story addition.

 

[NotMyUsername]

If you restart the story do the koin amounts for rewards reset as well? Seems probably the quickest way to accrue coins? And does difficulty affect koins earned? I imagine dropping it to Very Easy and restarting the story would be fairly quick to blaze through it.

Edit: And I don't mean chapter select. I mean New Story which resets the story progress. Just not certain if it resets the koin rewards since replaying a level on chapter select does decrease the koins earned.

 

[TEH-CJ]

Went up against a pro scorpion player and won. Best battle I've had so far.

I hate Goro. Whew he just teleports and the jump hits you.

And e getting enhanced wake up stuffed.. C'mon now.

 

[Wubbys]

Won 8 king of the hill matches by cheesing kitanas fan projectile and everyone kept giving me zero respect after each match. I love that feature thr guy who beat me got all 10s lol.

I beat a 10-win streak Scorpion 2 nights ago who was mainly using that scissor sweep.
I got all 10s too after the match.

 

[Fmal]

Dang, the way this game handles legacy controls is bogus. 2 DS4s minimum needed for local play even if you're using PS3 sticks? That's absolutely fucked.

 

[MrCookiepants]

So where do I go to find optimal combos for each character? I managed to make my own 10 hit combo with Reptile, but I'm sure there's better ones.

Game's been out for a day, so there's not a ton of information out there, but the TYM forum for your guy is probably the best bet.

 

[Spoo]

Takeda is really good, but the bug chick is, I think, his venom. Went 24/0, and then ran into a killer player using bug lady, and I got destroyed multiple times lol

 

[KDash31987]

Played 10 online matches so far, all in ranked. 7-3. Most matches were fine, but some got pretty bad at points. I'm having a lot of fun, though.

I used Sonya (Covert Ops, then Demolition) for the first two matches, and then Kitana (Assassin) for the rest.

 

[Marvel]

I just wanna play, but can't right now. Argh

Got some combo's written down for my bae, Cassie. Need to practice them!

 

[Lord Phol]

So is everything but the online working fine with the pc version now?

 

[lazybones18]

finished story mode. thank goodness the final boss wasn't a giant pain in the ass like Shao Kahn in the previous game. only took three tries.

now to do some tower stuff and actually try online for once

 

[Omega Ultimus]

I think online may be working, as well as everything else.

 

[Marvel]

That reminds me, what's the purpose of giving and receiving respect? what's it do?

 

[Moff]

there arent any costumes in the crypt that can't be unlocked via towers, yes?

can you unlock brutalities by simply performing them, so they appear in the move list?

if yes, I no longer bother with the krypt

 

[Nyx]

All ''tournament'' costumes which you get for completing the klassic tower with a char are also available in the krypt.

 

[Booker Dewitt]

Don't know whether I'm just terrible at the game, or I was playing characters far outside my limited understanding, but I dropped the difficulty to very easy to go through the story mode. That my friend quit after three matches of me beating him doesn't farewell for me.

 

[Nuszka]

So was very unhappy about online region lock with ps4 version as i live in EU and the game matches me with US servers hearing opinions here how good the net code is i was actually surprised about it, but after watching the stream in which Aris and Rip were testing out the netcode living 30 miles away from each other... NR you delivered on my expectations.

 

[malfcn]

I'm sitting here for minutes with "opponent found" on the screen. How long before I can cancel?

Gave it five minutes. Good bye.

The difficulty options are deceiving; the Medium is midway between MK9's two hardest difficulties, while Hard is tougher than MK9's hardest difficulty, in my opinion.

 

[malfcn]

Have to train myself the Takeda can't teleport fast enough from projectiles.
LOL, not even from full screen.

 

[Tokubetsu]

I'm still trying to do Cassie Cage's first brutality.

 

[VoidVR]

Watched Justin Wong stream last night for a bit, and man, it's unnerving how quickly the pros pick these games up. Dude picked a character, went into practice mode to figure stuff out, and half an hour later he was demolishing people online with insane combos and crazy shit that would take me half a year of practice to be able to execute half as fluidly.
