This doesn't look promising at all. The violence was somehow entertaining when I had no experience with games and what makes a good game. Nowadays I doubt a classic MK engine can provide fun.

So pissed off. I preordered the tournament edition months ago from Amazon with prime 1 day shipping. It was supposed to arrive today but I just recieved an email from Amazon saying my order is delayed until May 5th to May 15th So much for PREORDERING it.

I just reordered from Gamestop and once it ships ill cancel my Amazon order.

Luckily my friend let me borrow his game and I have to say its pretty awesome. Im really enjoying playing as Smoke.

It is be a lot of fun if you like fighting games (Before SC2 came out I played SSFIV daily and have always liked fighting games), but you must learn more than just the special moves for the characters or you will get STOMPED online, as some people are much better than others. I've been having a lot of fun with it, Kung Lao still feels like Kung Lao so I don't need to learn much to be okay with him. The violence and brutality does get to be a bit much at times (Quan Chi's fatality where he rips someone's leg off then beats them to death with it), especially with the detail in some of the fatalities. It is a ton of fun though.

Stryker's X-Ray is so good. It fits the police brutality theme well.

When I bought it a Future Shop, they gave me a free steel case (I guess they couldn't get them packaged in time?). It looks really slick, almost as good as the Doom 3 steel case.

Yeah i guess if you dont like fighting games then u just dont like fighting games, doesn't mean its a bad game. I've been enjoying the heck out of it, personally.

I picked this up yesterday and am loving it. Like some have mentioned, it's nice to see they're taking cues from the classic Mortal Kombat games. I love it even more than my favorite Mortal Kombat, MK3 seems to be a big source of their inspiration, and almost all of the characters from MK3 are back.

On a sidenote though, has anyone found an "advanced" combo list? Like, i'm aware of the 3 hit combos and such but im sure there are longer chains but i can't find them anywhere.



SRK posted a collection of combo videos from day one of the game being out here :

http://shoryuken.com/content/mk9-day-1-combo-video-roundup-4290/


There's some pretty crazy ones like reptile center screen 40%+ and a Kung Lao 81% wall combo

that video gets me excited to play the game, lol. I love the classic, mortal kombat themesong to the combos. Its like a flood of nostalgia.

Enjoying this game quite a bit, but there is one thing I don't like.
I'm stuck using the xbox controller and the game seems to read anything other than perfectly up, down, left, right as a diagonal input. Getting really annoying trying to dash and having my guy jump or trying to uppercut and doing a down/right special move.
And I've had no similar issue with SSF4 or MvC3

i love it... it can potentially be a very good competitive fighting game


the pokes and combos of street fighter 4 are there - but you can actually 'break' combos and follow them up with a combo of your own... this leads to insanely cool-looking exchanges.

i love street fighter 4, but i didn't really like the setup combo into ultra finishing moves which were totally unstoppable due to the stunlock. it breaks the game to a level where the players have to be uber cautious and never go on the offensive - and a game that's so ultra defensive is clearly broken as it's nowhere near as enjoyable to watch as it should be.

Any points for your argument or is this a clear troll post? Even some top SF/MvC pros are enjoying the hell out of this game.

I resubscribed to Xbox Live to play the multiplayer today. The chat rooms are tons of fun and work much better than match making. I even got to play Giant Bomb's Jeff Gerstmann on Thursday Night Throwdown. It was so much fun. Of course he worked me but he's insanely good at MK and was playing one of his best characters. Somehow I'm managing to keep a 70%+ win rate with Kung Lao and Raiden. I do babalities every chance I get.

say what? how is any defensive game "broken". as for the "setup combo into ultra finishing moves" the same can be said with MK9 + x-ray where a hit can easily lead to a fatass combo. but just because a game is defensive doesn't mean its broken (or bad in some cases)

probably should have ignored this post and let it slide

anyway i kind of find it funny this game lets u build the same meter that u use for EX moves faster by taking damage than dealing it.

oh yea i bet stryker puts a positive image for all american policemen :p . "POLICE BRUTALITY COMING RIGHT UP". his x-ray flashlight is hilarious

In MK you can stop any such combo with a breaker that takes away 2/3 of the x-ray bar. Also when you are hitting opponents in block you x-ray bar charges faster. So yea, you can say the game got anti-defensive measures installed. Also when you get hit by a special your bar charges up faster then when hit by normal attack which promotes gameplay different then boring stupid MvC3 one.

Stryker does not use a flashlight but a taser.

I like the game so far, and it has potential to be good competitively as well. I can't wait to see some high-level play from the UMK3 masters.

Stryker's X-ray begins with the flashlight, he blinds the opponent then bashes his skull with it, then hits the jaw with a stick and finally shocks him with a taser. Looks clear as crystal to me.

Stryker has an awesome move set. I love the fact that he just whips out a pistol and shoots you and you can just block it with your arms. Very silly and very rad.

Also the story mode is crazy awesome (for a fighting game), there is all kinds of awesome.
