I've been dicking around with some basic Sub Zero combos and I'm glad he's still fun to play, same with Kitana. She has such an easy 7hit that it's hard not to spam against the story mode AIs :p on the contrary, i feel this game is better on pad. maybe my own preference. with stick it's natural habit to do the actual full QCF/236 motion, rather than skip it and just do 26+BP/FP w/e. in fact, i feel better playing mk9 on keyboard over stick, despite the fact i use it for every other FG. iunno maybe just personal preference (i haven't tried the MK9 TE template, which i hear is insanely better for MK9) | ||

I main as Kitana and I'd like to be able to jump and fan throw low enough to the ground that it'll hit a standing opponent. Been trying to do it with tk motion but it never comes out and I'm just wondering if that's because I have bad execution or if it simply can't be done. I can do it by jumping first but not consistently. | ||

I've never liked any fighting game until this game, it's so technical and intense, which makes it so competitive. Only downfall is the fact that since it's such a fast paced game, it's hard to get a game where you don't notice the lag. I think today I played ~12 matches online and only 4 were lag free that I recall. Edit: Also, I love playing as Noob Saibot. All shadow spells + his ridiculous teleport causes people's main game plans to fuck up all the time when you play against them for the first time because he can counter so many styles. Sub-Zero vs. Noob is impossible! | ||

Some scorpion vs sonya match in the background, no clue who's playing. I like it. I need to practice matchups more, but I think Raiden can shut down certain characters (like noob, reptile) really well with teleports. I haven't played online yet, so I don't have good matchup experience. How fast are throws in this game? Do we have any frame data yet? I keep trying throws as quick punishes, but occasionally they get tech'd and I have almost no clue how. | ||

Since projectiles fly through each other, there's actually a lot less plasma wars than in say SF4. If you both fire at the same time, you both get hit. Also they have quite a long recovery, so everyone with a teleport or a flying special can easily punish spammers. | ||

Maybe it is because I cant play the game (banned in Germany and I wont import until the price gets reduced). So 46,99 Euro are too much for a game? And i bought it even cheaper on release. You dont need to import it. Amazon.de sells it so have fun buying it  mk9 is nice. im just affraid to get Xbox live just for mk9 'cause of the many complains about the netcode... any experience? | ||

Its kinda like playing bw on lan, then going online and playing all your matches with extra high lat with some random disconnects and lag spikes during matches. Its pretty hard to string combos with random lag spikes. I really hope it gets fixed because its really fun playing online. I believe the developers stated they are releasing a patch soon so we'll see how much is actually fixed. | ||
