I'm in the minority, I love watching Noob and Ermac. The way they can be used is awesome. I like Noob's little triple pile driver thing.

Re: Mortal Kombat

So when are we supposed to see the first official patch? Seems like I have been hearing it will be released in 2 weeks for like 2 months....

Amen to that, ditto for some new character(s). Of course I've really only even halfway mastered about 2 of the characters we have now, LOL

Re: Mortal Kombat

There's a dude on youtube who has some really nice combo videos up for pretty much every character.

Re: Mortal Kombat

Also, a better picture of the upcoming $130 stick that's bundled with the XBLA MK1, MK2, and UMK3 games:



It'd be a sweet stick if the button layout didn't totally suck for any game that's not Mortal Kombat.

Re: Mortal Kombat

I considered buying this stick, but-

A) I think it's ugly. Sure, it may be klassic, but that doesn't mean it's pretty. I like my MK9 TE art/colors better, and I would have thought the MK2/3 style art would fit better.

B) It's literally the same thing as the MK9 TE minus said art and buttons. So, I'd still have to swap out the joystick with better parts, making it a $145 dollar stick out of the gate. If I wanted to replace the buttons, that's another $15-20. So, around $165 to make the stick a true online/tournament threat.

C) I already have the MK9 TE, as you may have guessed.

Do I want it? Sure...but with NCAA12, M12, SSF4:AE and MK DLC my summer looks to be swamped with spending as is.

$10>$145

Re: Mortal Kombat

There's some big MK tournament this week, and the patch has just been delayed to accommodate them.

Bummer.

Re: Mortal Kombat

After really enjoying this game for the past month and a half or so I've finally found a gripe. It's not so much a game play issue but a player issue. These freaking morons who only use Scorpion and just cheese the specials. Not only is this annoying but you can tell that's all they know cause they can't get more then a 3 hit combo. I'd also like there to be some kind of icon for the people using fight sticks. Now while I'm sure it doesn't apply to people on OS, I hate the garbage TE stick players that just cheese the specials and know nothing else but they're able to be successful cause they can pull things off faster with the stick then you can a regular controller. Now while I know people will say "Well if you were better you could beat those stick players." While I pretty much split all my fights I just hate to see that money makes people better just cause they could afford the fight stick and I couldn't. I love the stick and I've wanted one since it came out and am just tired of garbage people. Also what the heck is up with the Klassic costumes? Weren't they supposed to be free? Oh well that's life.

End rant, thanks for reading, flame me as you see fit, and have a great day.
