Maybe it is because I cant play the game (banned in Germany and I wont import until the price gets reduced). Well it has a big following from all of us older that played MK1, 2 or 3. Then it got really cool graphics and lots of gore and boobs for the younger players. Other games look like kiddy games next to it :D Also it is hard and needs skill to be the best for the hardcore audience. | ||

The game has been 100% banned in Australia, Warner Bros. Australia were fighting with Classification Bureau to appeal the Refused Classification rating, unfortunately, it failed. So the only way to obtain the game is to import - of which is also illegal "apparently" as importing MK9 is on the same level as smuggling drugs and foreign items into the country. Sigh. | ||

The first proper tournament for MK9 took place this weekend (PowerUp), and the reception among the fighting game veterans (including Justin Wong, Arturo, Mike Ross etc.) was really positive. Also this game has some serious mass appeal, the stream had ~13k viewers at the time of the MK9 finals. This bodes well for the future, seeing how SF4/SSF4 rose to the top mostly due to its massive playerbase. | ||

Oh man I read that it was banned in Australia but didn't realise that the game was already released. And I couldn't give a shit whether it's illegal to import, cause I'm still going to do it cause I'm a fucking boss :D And to be honest I'm pretty sure there are a lot of movies out there that are more fucked up compared to mortal kombat. Stupid government. | ||

Which one do you use and how often do you miss activating specials (or even basic stuff like back+kick which is supposed to produce a leg swipe) with it? How can I improve myself? Does it become better with time or are these controllers just useless for this game? I really miss using a keyboard (like I did for Mk1-4) where you can always do specials perfectly as you cannot as a mistake press down back/upback+kick instead of back+kick. But it was almost impossible to play SSF4 on keyboard :D | ||

I tried both the small pad and the (little) stick - sorry for my lack of knowledge of the names as I only borrowed it and I never owned a console in my life (or used one until now) - but since MK9 asks only for back, forward, up and down it is horrible for me when using both.

BTW I'm an Aussie who imported this, it arrived yesterday and it kicks all sorts of ass =) | ||

I'm fairly sure if customs discovered a single copy of the game, they'd confiscate it and not bother pressing charges. It's not illegal to own the game, it's only illegal to sell it. | ||

BTW I'm an Aussie who imported this, it arrived yesterday and it kicks all sorts of ass =) I am not sure how much arcade stick helps as it also has round movement which MK games do not need as no moves need up-right or back-down and such. But I am sure it helps with pressing buttons (it is hard to do some button combinations on the controller - Anyone that tried to use Jax triple or quad slam knows what I am talking about :D) | ||
