Mortal Kombat (2011)

50% of the Krypt unlocked, 50% through the challenge ladder and I'd say Arcade Mode completed with 50% of the characters. So I'd say I'm halfway there, lol.

Uppercut, jumping kick and repeat over and over. Simple and works stupidly well against all 3 of them lol. Sheeva's silly jump into the air and land on you move can be avoided but you have to be insanely fast with double tapping the direction keys.

I'm still getting owned by shao khan though...

Beat them in the end. One of the small gripes I have with MK is that the AI seems to doth same couple of moves. Kintaro did his air jump 5 times in a row!

Gah, have given up on this for the moment. Just got to Shao Kahn with Liu Kang and after severel bouts of me getting my ass handed to me, I've turned it off in disgust. No characters should be that cheap, even if he is a boss

he is really not cheap...as iv said before you think thats cheap try playing mk3 and see how much you cry.

hes really easy to beat with liu kang if you time your jumps right you can jump over him as he attempts to ariel counter you he misses and you can combo/uppercut him.

do we know when we will be seeing the first dlc?

kitana still my fav char, then stryker.

Anyone got the stick? Can't seem to find it anywhere apart from ebay and shipping is like £50.

Looks real nice.

EDIT: Found it at a Canadian store for £109. But it also comes with the game. Hmmm.

Them things sold out very quickly when they were announced, I know I was in a Homefront lobby shortly before MK was released and I heard this american guy saying he had bought 3 of those tournament editions and was going to sell 2 of them on.

Robert1986 · 28 Apr 2011 at 09:46

Only place I can find it and they charge £40 for shipping.

Ah well.

Are you having difficulty with the pad?

Yes. I keep hitting the wrong button by mistake when doing more than one combo. I've been trying to juggle but always hit the wrong button. I can do all the combo's fine on their own, no problem, but can't juggle.

I've been trying to do this but its just not working. My thumbs are too stupid.

Just get a Madcatz TE.

Scorp Combo

Oh dear god, I have not seen that combo yet and I really don't like the look of how easy that is to pull off. That's not a dig at you at all by the way some people just prefer sticks but that looks really easy to me, if we cross paths in the tournament Robert you're banned from using that teleport punch -_-

The only way I can do anything with scorp is to abuse the teleport then do a combo followed by a spear then another combo then an x-ray. I managed to flawless goro twice on hard doing this. I like to jump backwards then do the spear in the air. I think it tricks to ai into giving up his guard, I dunno. Also, I've noticed the only way to beat Khan is to play as cheap as him.... Jump > punch > uppercut > repeat, or just teleport when he taunts and go into a combo. Always be blocking.

Not found much use for the fire or two legged takedown with scorp. Seem kinda useless.

Thats how I play anyway.

Scorpion Combo

Man, I'm going to need a lot more practice.

Drunzer · 28 Apr 2011 at 10:19

Have you tried anybody else other than Scorpion? I haven't really gave him a shot yet, I figured Scorpion would've been the people's choice so I wanted to give some other guys a shot. Somebody who I was pleasantly surprised by was Stryker, I drew him randomly in a tournament me and my friends had and after practicing with him for a while I really loved him. Has a really nice mixup game can really be effective from any range, he's a little vunerable to counter attacking though.

The first comment on that video says:

"THIS COMBO CAN NO LONGER BE DONE. The designers decided to take away Scorpions rapid teleporting in the final cut of the game. Notice the title of the video says DEMO. In the real version you buy at the store this combo cannot be done. Hopefully this helps anyone who wastes countless minutes tryin to practice this."

Still though, I can't pull off anything like that on any character yet xD. I think a 6 hit combo was my max... and that's pretty close to the default ones anyway

mcwildcard · 28 Apr 2011 at 10:22

See if you can source a Hori fighting stick 3, they aren't as pretty as the Madcatz ones, but they're still decent sticks.

I've been trying to get a decent combo together with Kano, but the best I can do is about 32%

I've always been a fan of Kano, he might not be the best character for winning, but he's without doubt the nastiest git in the game!

You're maining Noob though right? Noob isn't a big combo guy and if he is, nobody has figured him out yet. He has a few big wall combos but I don't really count those I just look at mid screen cause you can pull that off at any time. Noob has GREAT specials so if you can do little 4 and 5 hit combos that do 20% - 25% damage you're gonna be fine.
