MK 2(10) will have everyone back plus characters from 4-6 etc ala tekken.
Mortal Kombat 9

I can't naively say that. Someone will be axed.
! Most definitely Shang.
EDIT: Watching videos of people playing Stryker. I really want to try him out. Dying to.
-
So Challenge #300 update.
Still not beaten.
Oh ho ho hoooooooooo, those 1 vs 2 complainers ain't ever gunna beat this tower.
Also, the higher levels really teach you how to abuse those boss quirks to help you win.
So here's the challenge for anyone wanting to prepare.
! With one health bar you fight Goro, Kintaro, Mileena, and Shoa Kahn in a row. You get no health regain after beating any of the opponents. While you get to pick your character, you're going to either get debuffed or your enemies get buffed. Negative buffs include Lower damage or no blocking while the enemy can get increased damage or health regain. To add to the fun they block EVERYTHIIIIIING; you're only getting your hits in through counters.
-
God I love this game, Johnny Cage is the man! The moment I saw Goro I punched him so many times in the balls I think even his eyeballs hurt. Also, there's something very satisfying about karate chopping someone's head in half and sticking an Oscar award on top of it. :D
-
thewizardkoma, AKA MisterRederic, has KONQUERED the tower.
Time to enjoy me some story mode.

YAY!
Wow, I would have done Story Mode first.
-
Way I see it, I'm now fully trained to deal with these 1 vs 2 matches.

So what was the big awesome thing they promised us?
-
It's nothing special, you get an achievement and
! Melina's naked besides white tape alternate costume, that you already see in storymode…
-

Well it was said a few pages ago, but . . .
! Bandage wrapped Mileena alt costume

GOT IT
Damn PSN being down
-
Got the game two days ago and I am loving it!
Sucks that PSN is down right now though. :(
-
I just heard the funniest but meanest thing ever about this game.
"360 users got an exclusive called 'Not having a week without online support'". Lol, assholes.
-
That, an other things like like problems with the d-pad and no exclusive makes me wonder if Bill Gates banged Boon's wife or something.
-
Beat the story mode in one sitting. I don't know whether to be happy or disgusted at myself :3 .
-

"360 users got an exclusive called 'Not having a week without online support'". Lol, assholes.
That's actually pretty funny. I'll start telling customers that.
-
Got the game yesterday. Love it so much. Only issue is, I'm getting a little too comfortable playing CPU. I'm getting in the habit of charging my enemy with air+fp, then combo or uppercut. CPU falls for it quite a bit, unless they are abuse teleport.
Stryker - Looooooooooove him. Not even just my fandom. Holy shit is he fun to play.
Sonya - Pretty good. Contemplating maining her.
Noob - WOW! I like him. Tormented by BIL with him while using mind tactics. Fun.
Johnny Cage - Maybe. I'm just used to him so far, so we'll see how far her goes.Did the first 70 challenges, Cage's chapter in Story Mode, won Stryker on ladder, and unlocked every fatality.
Now? I'm going to be busy until Wednesday night. Wednesday night…..this game and I are going to have a good time. Til' then, I'm swamped with a shit ton of things to do. Hopefully, PSN will be back up by then.
-
I'm starting to love Kabal.
-
Played thru the MK1 segment of story mode yesterday at a friend's house. Did not enjoy playing with Liu Kang, he felt un-intuitive.
-
Yeah, Liu Kang is the one character I just don't like playing.
On that note, I actually think they did a good job on Sheeva. She's really brutish and violent in how she fights, just like how a half-dragon person should be.
-
Weird, Liu is my main.
Bring Back Sarus! Without KOS the forum is a POS.
-
Spent about 2 hours fighting Shao Khan in the last fight of Story mode using Raiden….. Holy hell, that took awhile. Feel pretty proud for beating him though. :)
-
Why? That fight was really easy O.o
I REALLY liked playing as Nightwolf and Raiden in the story. I'm not sure if I'll like them in multiplayer but I won't know until PSN comes back.

Laughed my ass off at Stryker's ending in arcade ladder
! Stryker puts up with the fame and being seen as a hero but the second he found out that Johnny Cage was gonna play him in his life story he shut that shit down. Tremendous
If you are gonna shoot, shoot. Don't talk

:wub:
! They really want to set up a rivalry between Cage and Stryker. I like both characters, but I hope they kind of expand on that.
! I have a feeling that Stryker once mentioned that he hates Cage's movies. I don't remember when, but I think that happened once. Either way, I enjoyed that ending.A lot of people are bitching about how 'campy' this game is and how it doesn't take itself all that seriously. Like Stryker or Kitana's ending have been a target of major complaints.
What game are these people playing again?
You know what ending sucks? CSZ's.
-
Stryker seems to actually know Cage's movies in the story mode (as he references them) but nothing is there that he hates them.
There is a level of campiness to Mortal Kombat. Notice how I didn't say this game in particular. The whole premise is ridiculous so I don't see where people are coming from on that point. If they want real camp tell them to go watch MK:Armageddon again.
Anyways, my status:
Story: Complete
Tutorials: Complete
Challenge Tower: 101Haven't touched arcade yet. I only get to play around 2-3 hours a day (and have only had it for nearly 3 days).
I'm really pissed PSN is down. I want to redeem my codes already.
-
CSZ's ending sucks? dang.
What ending rocks is Sub Zero's
! forms the new "deadly alliance" with Scorpion to exact revenge on the real killers of their families
Kano's is also slick.
Sooooo, I just ran into one of the "secret ladder fights" against klassic Noob Saibot.
It was by accident, but I was in the church or whatever and apparently I didn't block any attacks the whole match and lo and behold, once I defeated my opponent, I wasn't given the opportunity to do a fatality. Noob comes out and whoops my ass.
Apparently there are klassic hidden matches for Smoke (living forest), Reptile (pit/night), and Jade (??)
And on another note, I was testing the babalities, and found out you cannot block any attacks the second round before doing it.
Challenge Tower: 135

Yeah, I know about that scene. He really needed more dialogue in Story Mode. Hell, once the team was together, I was practically shitting myself with excitement. And then…

MK1+2 always had that "Big Trouble in Little China" feel. I mean, how am I supposed to take it seriously with a blonde woman in a track suit, a movie star with huge sunglasses, and a color coded ninjas?
The camp kind of stopped in MK:DA, which is pretty much where I started disliking the series and story. It's okay to take yourself seriously, but have a little fun. Deadly Alliance and Deception were grim with the exception of some of the Krypt items. Armageddon was just embarrassing, so the camp level was pretty high.
I mean…just the intro...
Shinnok: DO YOU WANT A PIE!?!
Raiden: NOT TODAY!And of course, Stryker doing the only awesome thing he ever did in Armageddon in that same intro. That intro was just hilarious.

I'm hoping that sort of thing happens in the future.

Yeah, I heard about those.
It's confirmed that for Jade: you must play ladder and defeat Shang Tsung with a double flawless victory. Only then will Jade appear.
You can an achievement/trophy merely for their appearance.
EDIT: Request for NRS: Make Skrillex make the entire soundtrack of the next game. Just…..oh my god....
-
Gekko said something about Babalities. So those are in? What about Friendships and the other ones?
-
Every character has:
! A Start Fatality
A Secret Fatality
A Babality
A Unique Stage Fatality Code
! Some characters with special costumes get additional fatalities, such as Klassic Scorpion getting his Toasty fatality.That's about it. Sorry.
-
Wouldn't mind Frienships or Brutalities. If they could make Babalities funny, then either had a shot.
Animalities can stay buried in Hell, though.
-
My main man turning into a T-Rex was awesome. Beyond that, animalities can die.
-
I always thought the Anamalities were kind of fun, but the set up to actually pull them off is even more arbitrary and stupid than regular fatalities and can go to hell.
-
Plus, like a lot of them were just eating the guy's stomach. Go so the Supreme Demonstration on youtube and I think like 8 of them are just that alone.
-
Animalities were weak because most just involved transforming and eating the opponent. Sheeva, Jade, and Scorpion (lawl) are the only ones that come to mind that did something different.
-
I've been having the hardest time of creating a decent Tag Team for the past couple of days.
I've been ignoring Sonya for a while and after beating 150+ missions in the Challenge Tower, I've gotten to use her (of course, without wanting to) but now I kinda regret it.
I think she goes pretty damn well with Kitana and I find it pretty damn funny.They're like Mortal Kombat's Chun-Li and Cammy.
Where Sonya came first, then Kitana.I'm still going to main Sindel and I think I might pair her up with Mileena.
Jade? Hmmmmm… I'll see...
-
Use Stryyyyykerrrrrr.
No, I'm kidding. Keep using women. They need love while I'm not using them. (Although, Sonya has been pretty friendly lately. Haven't tried Jade yet.)
You could use Sheeva…...lul. Maybe you'll like Skarlette when she comes out, which I'm hearing rumors that she'll be here in May.
I'm also hearing a lot of DLC rumors. A lot.
! > DLC PACK 1 . includes >>>> Kenshi & Scarlett (lady in red ) **releases May
DLC PACK 2 includes >>>> Frost & Tanya (lady in yellow) on challenge300 ** releases June
DLC PACK 3 includes>>>> classic Character skins 4 female and male ninjas **releases July
DLC PACK 4 includes >>>> Movado & Rain ** releases August"
! I'm happy with Kenshi and Skarlett.
! I didn't want to see Frost OR Tanya THIS early.
! Skins. =D
! Rain is good, but…..I don't like Mavado. -
I don't care much about Rain, but he does deserve to be in, DLC or not, just for that Trilogy feeling.
-
Huh…
Ten+ years of Mortal Kombat, and I'm still a ninja whore. My childhood has more sway over me than previously thought… Oh well, at least my apparently natural understanding of Sub-Zero. I can't remember the last time I picked up, and clicked with, a character that quickly. At least it means awesome rival battles with Tonfa's Scorpion. :)
Also Shao Kahn has the greatest winpose in fighting game history. Had to throw that in there.
-
Ugh…
Just make my day even worse Shitlong Park.

watches MK9 videos on Youtube
…I really need to get this game. Damn these summer classes, eating up all my monies. :<
One thing I noticed while playing the demo is how strangely MK9 plays on the fight stick. Maybe it's just me, but it just felt very unwieldy and counter-intuitive. I suppose I'll have to re-adjust to the controller for this game when I do pick it up.
I'm kinda tempted to resell MvC3 to get the cash, but…Wesker....
a mood come alive.
-
I'm so sorry Sarus.
If it makes you feel better, I completely shut out a douche bag who was making dumb remarks about certain characters in Story Mode:
[hide]Asshole: The dead heroes should stay dead! It would be stupid if they brought them back.
Me: You're basing this off of what?
Asshole: It would just be dumb to revive them. The next game should be Cyber Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Quan Chi, Shinnok, Noob, and a bunch of new characters.
Me: Cyber Sub-Zero is dead!
Asshole: LOOK FANBOY! Sindel made him short circuit. They could easily repair him and bring him back!
Me: His soul was amongst Quan Chi's collection of dead people! posts video of scene I don't know what you consider dead, but that looks pretty dead to me!
Asshole: …........... goes back and deletes all his postsI'm fine if the heroes don't come back for the next game. But to say, 'The heroes should never be brought back because that would be dumb and the villains in this game are better', ugh.[/hide]

Yeah, Mortal Kombat has always been sort of "anti-Japanese inputs" since the first game, hell even the official stick and layout is anomaly of typical fighting games. I was able to click with the PS3 pad myself.
But I think what seems to be getting everyone trying out this game for the first time is the fact that you have to hold down a button to block, and thats a mind fuck and a half if you're coming directly from Street Fighter or King of Fighters.
Huh…
Oh well, at least my apparently natural understanding of Sub-Zero. I can't remember the last time I picked up, and clicked with, a character that quickly. At least it means awesome rival battles with Tonfa's Scorpion. :)You remember what I said about "Under Heaven's Destruction", right?
-
Oh, I remember. And oh yes, there will be rock.
Train your Scorpion well, because with each passing day I learn more Sub-Zero shinanegans (although Ermac is currently my best guy so far). I can pretty much get guaranteed 20+% damage with every combo now (35% with Ermac. With a combo so simple it feels like I have to be doing it wrong, but god dammit it does more damage than his other combos I've seen, and it's totally legit), so I'm pretty happy about that, but I get the feeling I could be doing more with some of them.
Noob does less damage than the rest of my guys, but he seems to be more of a technical/mindgame character. Fucker can reverse your controls and disable your block, after all. I'll take a 3% damage deficiency for that kinda shit.
-
Third episode is out.
-
I got pissed off last night over the one with Mileena and Baraka standing side by side fighting off enemies. I had no idea how to win it. I think it was challenge 112.
Then I noticed someone say that they are color coded for jumping or walking. I'll beat it tonight.
Cannot wait for Stryker's challenges. Especially 'This is insane'.
Lately, I've been worried about doing anything on the game. The big rumor right now is 'The 5 least used characters will be dropped out of the game for the sequel'. I've been worried about NOT using Stryker, but I feel like I'm just being stupid.

After beating the game, I got the impression that they were going to gauge the fan response over who died to decide who would be in the next game. Seeing as how Quan Chi is OBVIOUSLY in the next game but is also in the bottom 5 I'm not sure how much basis in reality that rumor has.
So, then, the only characters I think that are 100% going to be in the next game:
! Raiden
Johnny Cage
Sonya Blade
Quan Chi
Scorpion
ShinnokAnybody else's fate is up in the air as far as I am concerned.

Agreed. Although,
! I don't think Shinnok will be playable initially, much like Shao Kahn.
! At the same time, I have a hard time believing that all the dead character, despite having tons of story behind them that has not been touched, will be retconned from existence like everyone thinks. Makes zero sense to me.
! I'm not saying they will ALL be 100% in the next game (though I hope they are), but reconned from existence? When has this series ever done well with brand new characters being more than 50% of the roster? Deception much?–- Update From New Post Merge ---

Hey Koma-dear~
Sarus wanted to know what character you used to beat challenge 300? ^^
a mood come alive.
