Re: Mortal Kombat

WeeMan has a KOTH game going on XBL right now for anyone that wants to play.

GGs to C33k0.

The 360 patch is up! Lots of good balance fixes to the game, but most importantly, the netcode seems to have gotten a lot better. We had 3 guys in the KOTH room and the lag was barely noticeable.

You can actually pull off some pretty precise combos now and punish blocked/whiffed moves with something other than an uppercut!

It's going to take a while to retrain myself from doing an uppercut punish every time.

GGs man

I can finally get Kitana's f2~1, njp, dash~4~fan, dash~2~fan, dash~2~EX fan lift starter to come out online.. I work on that combo so much offline so it's refreshing to be able to get that EX Fan Lift to come out

Re: Mortal Kombat

That fan lift is beastly.

I didn't realize it beat out so many special moves with higher priority.

I cant seem to extend smokes combos anymore with smoke bomb.


Sent from me, duh.

Re: Mortal Kombat

In the patch, they took out his ability to hit the smoke bomb on enemies bouncing off the ground.

Though I think you can still do it with an EX smoke bomb.

Re: Mortal Kombat

Like the netcode improvements, not sure one or another about most of the other changes since I still don't know alot of the characters very well. One thing I don't agree though was removing Smoke's OTG smoke bomb. The timing window was already pretty small on it to begin with and I really don't see how a long combo with Smoke utilizing he OTG smoke bomb is any different from the longer combos that can be done with other characters. Guess I won't be using Smoke anymore.

Re: Mortal Kombat

Smoke is still good after the patch. There was a Smoke player who made the final 8 at ReveLAations last weekend.

Anyway, Skarlet confirmed as June 21 DLC:

A "compatibility pack" will accompany each DLC release so people who don't buy the characters can still play against them online. Klassic MK3 skins for Sektor and Cyrax are included in the first free "compatibility pack."

Kenshi, Rain, and a fighter to be named later are the other DLC characters due this summer.

This reminds me, has MvC3 had any other DLC characters besides Jill and Shuma?

All this DLC news is awesome!

Re: Mortal Kombat

How do I know if I have a current version of MK on 360?
You guys keep talking about patches and I have YET to have an update for my game.
I have Xbox live Gold and NEVER had an issue with updates on games before.

Another thing, I wasnt even able to buy the DLC skins through the game a couple days ago.
When I checked the DLC tab on the Extras menu, it said no new DLC available.
I went outside of the game, to the Xbox Live Game addons, and purchased the skins. Is that how everyone else had to do it?

Just curious.

There hasn't been an official title update yet, just the hotfixes (tuner sets).

Yes, the DLC tab in MK doesn't work.



Good news for everyone though:

Not to mention free Cyrax/Sektor MK3 skins w/ DL of either "compatibility pack" or paid DL of Skarlet.

Re: Mortal Kombat

So after two months of owning this game, I finally beat all the challenges and unlocked all the krypt.

Time to start unlocking all the arcade mode endings.

They really packed this game full of unlocks.

Re: Mortal Kombat

I think they should package at least two playable characters for each DLC. All this DLC has gotten to be such a money grab for the gaming creators and I really think we as gamers are not getting the bang for the dollars that we spend for all this DLC.
