Mortal Kombat

Re: Mortal Kombat

This game has so many secrets I don't even know where to begin.

Like, stuff beyond what's in The Krypt, such as alternate fatalities and alternate costumes? Could you give one example?

Don't click on this unless you are CHooe. You don't want the game to be ruined.

Spoiler

Fighting secret characters. Secret Reptile, Jade, Noob, etc.

Re: Mortal Kombat

This thread is so damn tempting.

The only thing is I'm not THAT big on fighting games and I never like having to memorize all those button inputs to pull off one move.

If you don't like fighting games you will probably get bored of this game after a week or two. It has a lot of replayability value and there's a lot to learn/unlock, but if you aren't one for fighting games than you might not go crazy for this game.

Ok my 2 friends keep killing me.

One uses Kung Lao and spams his Tele when im at a distance, Hat Throw as well and Spin when I get in close all while holding the Block button the whole time....lol.

The other uses Baraka and spams his Chop Chop attack (Waves his arms real fast) when I get close along with the spin blades and electric blade range attack. He also uses the block button all the time as well.

Any tips guys?

Also are thier Animatalies, Friendships and Brutalities in this game?

Anyone? I'm literally getting my arse handed to me. I'm trying to use smoke as my main even though reptile is my fav. Can't seem to get reptile to feel right though.


Sent from me, duh.

I don't know about animalities, but brutalities and fatalities are.

Just practice and practice. That's all I can really say. Each character is different. Scorpion is for button smashers, whereas SZ is very difficult to learn and is very slow. He is defensive.

Utilize the block and jump attacks.

I hate fighting games, and having to memorize the button combos (I feel like I use the same 5-6 moves all fight at the moment, which probably is why I lose a lot) but I've enjoyed my day with the game so far.

That's the same reason I don't like having to do that. I played the demo (using Sub Zero for what it's worth) and I just felt like I was fighting repetitively, doing the same moves because they were the only ones I could remember. I guess that would improve if I kept playing the game.

I do love the look and feel of the game though, and of course they have some of the best video game characters around. This wouldn't be my first MK game either. But in the end I think I'm just going to hold off for now, unless I can rent it or play it at a friend's. With L.A. Noire coming out next month and the fact that I'm still catching up on older PS3 games, I don't think now is the right time.

Who are you using? Just be glad he doesn't know how to properly use Kung Lao.
Though a general tip for your situation would seem to be throw.
Actually Smoke can fix your Kung Lao problem. Smoke has 3 teleports of his own and an anti projectile move.

Spoiler

Yeah, when I finally did beat him I was using that dash attack a bunch (along with the teleport move), but Kahn was WAY more aggressive against me than you describe, haha.

That and his X-Ray does a ridiculous 53% damage or something like that. Not fair at all. lol

Spoiler

I don't think the teleport was helping. He won't taunt if you're next to him. Gotta keep jumping backwards. Yah the x-ray is pretty cheap.

Re: Mortal Kombat

No one cared about the DLC news huh? LOL

For someone like me who's not a big MK fan, I mean I loved 1 and 2 in the arcades and would play them just about every night, but it's been ages. And I felt the MK series went through way too many changes and transformations over the last 6-7 iterations to where I didn't even care about it anymore.

Broke down to get this due to that earlier feed and the glowing reviews of it being a throw back to the original games. So happy I picked it up, awesome, awesome fighter. It's really cool to see this genre coming back so hard with the Street Fighter IV release, MvC3 release, and now MK. Gotta love it!

Have heard about those rumors and I really hope they are true

What DLC news? I am confused!

Spoiler

You mean the Lady in Red, Kintaro, and Kenshi DLC characters?

Re: Mortal Kombat

CHooe,

Spoiler

I meant to say there are babalities, not brutalities.

Re: Mortal Kombat

Forgot to mention I hate Scorpion now for what he did to Mileena. What an ***. Imma go back and lose that one.

Spoilers buddy!



On a side note, I would love it if they hid the original MK on the disc somewhere to play in full arcade glory sound and graphics. Still the best fatality music in the series!
