Re: Mortal Kombat

what is is supposed to do? i tried that, and nothing happened

Spoiler

I did that and it showed the damage they get.

So three things I still can't figure out.

1. How to pick stages for fights.
2. How to use alternate versions of fighters.
3. I don't remember seeing it on the screen, but when do you input the kombat kodes you unlock in the krypt?

1) You hit triangle at character selection screen
2) When you choose a fighter, press start instead of x
3) I think you can only put those codes in, in a multi player fight and at the bottom of the screen there are 6 boxes to plug the code in

To add to this, 1&3 cab only be done in multiplayer and practice.

#2 you have to go to the necropolis first and equip the alt costume to the char before you hit start to select it.

Re: Mortal Kombat

I just played my first online match with a friend and it was just like the good ol' days of MK. The lag was barely noticeable. I'd imagine the King of the Hill mode might run worse, but regular private matches seem to run fine.

I was just looking over the Krypt unlocks at Gamefaqs and it's amazing how much stuff they packed into this game. I haven't even started arcade mode or the challenge tower yet!

If you have a Toys R US nearby and don't pick it up for $30 this week, you are missing out big time.

I'd have to go all the way back to the original Smash Bros. on the N64 to find a fighter that I've had this much fun with. Though all of my friends and I pretty much stopped playing fighters when the only games you could play in arcades were crap like Tekken and Soul Calibur.

This is definitely my Game Of The Year so far. Just pulled off my first two fatalities with my boys Stryker and Raiden and they are sick!

Re: Mortal Kombat

Ah, come on now. I love Tekken and Soul Calibur. The original SC is the best fighting game since its time.

The thing I loved about both those series over MK, was the fluidity of moves. There were so many times you'd see a fight or be involved in a fight so fluid and back n forth, it almost felt choreographed. Reversals, blocks, combos, etc.. It all flowed together if you got two good fighters on the sticks.

Re: Mortal Kombat

I will give Tekken some props for having a kangaroo, panda bear, and wood stump as characters, but the actual fighting in that game was dull as dirt.

Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast is probably the pinnacle of 3D fighters, but that's kind of like being valedictorian at a Mississippi public school.

Re: Mortal Kombat

does every character have a standing launcher?

also for any Jade users: staff overhead (down back triangle), back + triangle, X-Ray

simple combo that does over 40% damage..

Wait. Its 30$ at toys r us??!!!

Re: Mortal Kombat

Yeah all characters have a launcher attack.

Another good tip for Jade is that you can get in a second flying kick after the first one hits.

Re: Mortal Kombat

There is a free coupon in the Rzone catalog that takes another $10 off.

It looks like this:



It should be on display in the video game department.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm going hunting this weekend to see if I can find it, I'll definitely buy it for $29.99 just don't want to get there and they say since it's on sale I can't use the $10 coupon to further lower the price.

*update*
And it worked!!...they had the magazines right by the register.

Tekken and Soul Calibur are some of the best fighters.......
