Re: Mortal Kombat

Don't see how that would happen since WB has DC Comics and Blade comes from Marvel (Disney).

Re: Mortal Kombat

The Render on that pic looks really well. But there are plenty of other MK universe chars to choose from. Don't see why they need to dip outside the well on characters.

You are correct sir.

That makes sense.

It's wishful thinking, and not happening I'm sure, but actually WB owns the film rights to Blade, so not completely far fetched.

EDIT - nevermind, just read that at Comic-Con this year, Marvel Studios announced they had re-acquired the rights to Blade, meaning it's under Disney.

So, yeah, that's not happening. LOL

Re: Mortal Kombat

Are you guys still playing this game? I'm pretty fed up with NRS but I'm thinking of playing tonight for the first time in about a month.

Re: Mortal Kombat

I still play a decent amount on PS3.

[Pared]

Re: Mortal Kombat

I play pretty much nightly.

This game is D_E_E_P. The combo system is fantastic when you really get into and despite a good amount of time invested I feel like there is just so much to learn with everyone that I can't grasp it all as well as I would like to.

I'm having difficulty "maining" someone because they all are unique and have a nice layer of movesets.

Re: Mortal Kombat

Definitely still playing.

If you're getting bored with the usual online fodder, try looking for some local places that are holding tournaments:

Just type your city name into the search bar and see what pops up.

As with all video games, MK is a ton more fun when you're playing people in person.

Thanks. I've looked on testyourmight for a while now. Sadly, I live in South Dakota, so there's no tournament scene whatsoever. The closest I've ever seen on TYM is a few hours away, which I don't know if I can or am willing to travel that far.

I've tried posting on Craigslist and Facebook a few months ago, but didn't get much response besides the few friends I know that play it. There's just not a big gaming community here aside from LAN players.

I love the game, I really do. It's right up with MK2 for me as GOAT 2D fighter. However, NRS has came off as very unprofessional IMO. The netcode they "fixed" is still tragic especially on KOTH, the Freddy DLC, the fact that they've never released frame rates for anything in the game, because they have no idea what they are.

I'm sure I'm repeating myself from past posts, but as a long time fan, I guess I expected a lot more from the game.

I wish I could just go to the arcade and play some randoms, but that time has come and gone.

Re: Mortal Kombat

Yeah, all the frame data we have for the game so far was done by users on Test Your Might.

Just click on the character portraits, and most of them have a thread that lists the frame data for attacks.

Re: Mortal Kombat

Updated the patch list with the official release notes from NetherRealm Studios.

Sheeva's upercut seems to have gotten faster? Maybe it's just placebo effect. I dunno, but I thought it was koming out a lot quicker last night.
