Yeah, that was great. Does anyone here know when the first fatality was ever discovered and what it was?

I remember seeing mine. I was lucky and saw it while waiting to play the game for the first time. Huge crowd around the cabinet, and this dude pulled out someone's heart with Kano. The place went nuts.

It was so fucking cool. Keep in mind the time period.

I remember showing my sister Sub-Zero's spine rip not that long after, and she actually let out a gasp.

 

[Codiox]

Jesus I almost get a heart attack evertime I play online. I'm a beginner but am winning most of the time. Really intense and fun.


Anyway how do I get the scorpion costumes? I only got one from the krypt, what about the others?

Mine was Scorpion's mask rip. That was pretty scary as a little little kid.

 

[Chance Hale]

Having sudden issues with my fightstick and was wondering if anyone had advice. Have been playing on the PC with an Eightarc Fusion toggled to the PS3-PC setting. During the last match however the LED lights suddenly disabled and the inputs have messed up. For example, square/X is now back and circle/B is confirm. Can't get it to work properly in any game so is the stick bust?

 

[Dubz]

Ok Kung Jin is crazy fun on story mode. I think I've found my main.

 

[mdsfx]

Is there a guide for unlocking all costumes?

 

[A-V-B]

Kung Jin Boujitsu is nuts. Practiced with him before I played story mode, and I wiped the floor with the CPU.

 

[Fury451]

So apparently Troy Baker voices not only Erron Black but Shinnok also.

The real surprise is Ashly "Tiny Tina/Hey Ash" Burch is Cassie Cage.

Steve Blum is Sub-Zero, Reptile, and Bo' Rai Cho.

And Vash The Stampede is Kung Jin.

 

[Krejlooc]

I remember UMK3 was great because Human Smoke wasn't found until after the sega saturn version was released. it was a huge mindfuck. It was like... oh hey, there is another hidden character in this game besides the existing 3. And surprise! He also can be unlocked in the home version!

I spent so, so, SOOOOO much fucking time following bogus Rain rumors.

 

[A-V-B]

Wow, what? Erron Black I could believe, but Shinnok? That's awesome! First time I've heard Troy Baker and not realized it was him.

 

[Skab]

So my Krypt is bugged and I can't complete this puzzle.

Kinda bummed.

And Vash The Stampede is Kung Jin.

Johnny Yong Bosch has voiced plenty more known characters than just Vash, my friend.

 

[Fury451]

Looks like he's

as well. I didn't pick up Shinnok either- he's good.

 

[Jetman]

Nope. All trial-and-error + word of mouth. Always saw players at the game with hand written cheat sheets.

Was wondering about this the other day. Honestly can't believe people just randomly stumbled onto them. Think it's more likely that Boon or Tobias leaked them to a few arcades or maybe even some game mags.

 

[ChuckNyce]

Sweet, enjoyed playing him in the story mode as well. Whacking fools upside the head with that staff/bow is pretty fun

 

[VE3TRO]

Do faction kill inputs change depending on the faction your with? Also does anyone have a full list of them? Still only have the first 3 but I'd like to see what the others are like.

 

[Dubz]

His dive kick is an awesome combo starter too.

I remember freaking out when Noon Saibot appeared in MK2 at my cousin's house. Good times, especially for a hyperactive 4 year old.

 

[Lashley]

According to Kotaku, Kung Jin is the first MK character to be gay.

 

[Krejlooc]

yeah, that's a huge perk for him. Lots of players don't see it coming yet.

 

[zlatko]

So the Samurai pack only contains costumes for a few of the cast, or the whole roster?

 

[Manu]

Oh my god you're right. She totally sounds the same as she does as Chloe in Life is Strange too.

 

[Essay]

I was curious about what Imposter Shinnok would get from my Jacqui when he hits me with his Mimicry special. Turns out he gets the worst possible move: a -18 on block, low-damage rush punch that he's too slow to get a run combo off of. This makes me happy.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Shinnok, Kenshi and Kitana only.

Ah, dat Mortal Kombat-style backstory, where all the important things unrelated to fighting happen off-screen

 

[ZeroCDR]

Huh? That doesn't sound right, Human Smoke was always in the attract mode fighting Noob Saibot in UMK3 arcade IIRC. At least, I definitely remember trying the button combination from the Arcade on the Saturn version on launch day and it worked, was very stoked lol

 

[zlatko]

His dive kick is an awesome combo starter too.

High level players are going to make this dive kick be redonculous.

He can actually do a normal jump in attack and then cancel it into the dive kick---so in theory he can make it safe as a confirm to get a combo going.

It's pretty easy to block though and the punish window is huge if you just throw it out there non stop.

I'm considering him as a main as well. So much of the cast is a blast though. It's going to take a while to find one.

tbh I'm happy they don't make a big deal about it.

Fangirls will of course argue otherwise, but yeah that does sorta seem to be the implication.

 

[Kinsei]

Uh, they straight up tell you on screen. Did you miss the part where Raiden says the Shaolin don't care about who his (Kung Jin's) heart desires?

 

[Spades]

This game man, this game. It keeps getting better and better for me. Loving it.

 

[A-V-B]

tbh I'm happy they don't make a big deal about it.

There is a vast middle ground between non-existence and the extreme opposite, of course.

He can combo off that dash uppercut with his shoulder into MB for 20% or so.

 

[Fury451]

Oh my god you're right. She totally sounds the same as she does as Chloe in Life is Strange too.

You just blew my mind, I had no idea she was Chloe but I hear it now.

I didn't pick up she was Cassie until I read it, but its so obvious now.

Rain is fighting Shao Kahn at the Blue Portal in the attract mode. Human smoke isn't featured:

I remember when Human Smoke was discovered on Compuserve, specifically because a rep from Prima was posting as well and they had to rush the addendum to the sega saturn strategy guide. I still have the saturn guide, and indeed, the first page is hastily inserted.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

They beat SF to the punch on this, too.

Although both Poison and, I believe, Eagle are semi-confirmed to be LGBT?

 

[bomb]

Do we have a wish list going for Kombat Pack 2 yet?

Mine:

1. Freddy
2. Smoke
3. Baraka
4. Sindel

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Anyone know of any sites that have the move/combo/facility list for each character yet? Haven't seen one posted And I'm not having any luck finding a good one myself.

My bad if this has been discussed/answered

 

[ZROCOOL]

I can't seem to get away from Takeda. He might be my favorite new character so far.

This. Have him gay, but there's no reason to have a big announcement about it.

Zangeif is gay, actually, and has been for a long while.

Human Smoke is in the opening. He's a victim of a Fatality. You can also see him fight Noob Saibot in a match.


The Human Smoke code was definitely known before the Saturn version came out.

 

[A-V-B]

Uh, they straight up tell you on screen. Did you miss the part where Raiden says the Shaolin don't care about who his (Kung Jin's) heart desires?

My thought, as briefly as I had it, was "which person got Kung Jin into some shit?"

Falling in love with the wrong person from any gender can get you into hot water. Anyone above or below your social caste. Outside your race. Someone with overprotective and powerful parents. Many possibilities. My mind didn't go to "he likes men."

Then it was never brought up, so it was a short-lived curiosity.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Zangief and Eagle.

 

[ChuckNyce]

Another (small) thing I'm liking about the game is that each match up seems to have custom dialog at the start of the fight. Some may find her grating, but Cassie's got some pretty funny ones.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

I THOUGHT I KNEW ALL SF TRIVIA

MY ENTIRE LIFE IS A LIE

 

[stn]

Got the game for XB1, LOVE IT. Using Kano (Cybernetic) and Kenshi (Balanced). If anyone wants to throw down, please add me! My GT is in the Google doc but I'll post it here anyway. GT: Norieaga.

EDIT: Huh? Since when is Zangief gay? Eagle is, yes. And Poison is transsexual. But 'Gief? Since when?

 

[FranXico]

I just used the PS4 accessibility button assignment options to make the Test Your Might Tower easier.

I have no shame.
