Yea, I felt it too. My Liu combos definitely were dropping and I completely whiffed on some when I know I did it correctly.

I think the part of the problem was the adjustment period after all the SSFIV:AE I've been playing. I know that the pace of MK is little more sluggish than the AE and the basic combos are "pre-recorded" for the most part, so there isn't to tap the buttons so quickly. Yet my fingers were still in AE-mode so I ended up doing a lot of scrubby mashing which is kind of hard to avoid since Kung Lao's most basic of basic combos starts off with two SQUARE presses.
The other part was…me...being frustrated, salty dog when it happened.

I'm sorry Comp. Playing Online Tag with my BIL in the same room.
He will be destroyed if he faces you.
-
Lol, no prob. Having fun regardless, though I have encountered a few rage quitters and I have to say people are just bitchy: When I played with Liu they complained about cheapness, when I play with Sonya they complain about jump punching/dive kick, when I play with Mileena they complain about teleporting. People just can't seem to take a legit loss, it's always people spamming or cheating or using advantages characters/moves, never the fact that they may have faced someone that's just better than them.
Oh, and I love when people complain about me when we have several matches when I'm picking 8 different characters and they pick the same one over and over.
-
Yeah, people are real bitchers online.
Also, if anyone is interested:
http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/forum/showmessage.cds?id=140677New figures, and actual GOOD ones. They currently have Sub-Zero and Scorpion (shocker, I know) busts and statues. And apparently:
Characters like Raiden, Mileena, Johnny Cage, Liu Kang, Reptile, Shao Kahn and Kitana are currently in the works with the rest of the Roster expected to follow!
I'm gonna hold my breath, but if a Stryker figure is made, it will be an instant purchase. Not a single piece of Stryker merchandise exists, and I want to have the very first piece.

I'm sure you guys are starting to realize, but the vast majority of every fighting game fanbase consists of whiny, irrational manchildren who can't accept losses while wallow in their own romanticized idea that they can become rich and famous by being OK at Street Fighter.
-
Yeah, but SSF4 and MvC3 COMBINED never gave me more hate mail than what I've gotten in a single month with this game.
-
Maybe you've legitimately gotten good at the game ;)
Most hate mail I've ever got was in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift (ver. 1.00 - 1.02)
-
Yes, my MK9 hatemail is through the roof compared to other games.

It's interesting how you guys talk about your countless hate mails where as I only really got one.
@R3DRUM_16:
im tryna fight not play zone like street figter 4
He went through my ANTI-Compbros Liu Kang strat that I got you with on our last match (Didn't use as many missiles fighting this guy since he wasn't Compbros levels.) I suppose the rage quitters I get can't honestly say I spam the same moves over and over.
Also, how are there people who don't download the FREE skins packs D8
-
NO SHIT! Seriously, I've had games of KOTH where you can't pick Skarlet or Kenshi simply because SOMEONE decided to be a dipshit and not download the pack.
From what I know, the issues are:
-They don't know about the pack and thus have not downloaded it, assuming they are costumes that they don't want/have to pay for/are a hassle to download.
-There are people who hate DLC characters, Kenshi, and/or Skarlet, and thus, refuse to download the pack. -

~Sigh~

There aren't many people pissed about Rain though. Anyone who is simply hates Rain cause 'he's a boring ninja clone'. His powers, backstory, and design make him very far from that.
People hate Kenshi because they hate the post-MK4 world (a lot of the characters were very good, but were given in a poor method). People hate Skarlet because she dresses like a whore and is loud.
-

Talking about those characters I think Kobra made a mistake and signed in for MK instead of SF.
Kenshi however is one of the coolest and most unique characters after MK4 but I hate his range powers in the current game xD
-
Kenshi is one of the best things from the post-MK4 era, alongside (IMO) Havik, Ashrah, Hotaro (though he's a dick), and Ermac's costume redesign. I also REALLY like Drahmin. I adore Sareena, but since she was made for Mythologies, she's considered pre-MK4.
I'd hate Kobra, but I admit he's pretty boring. From what I've heard, Ed Boon and several other MK developers hate him along with Hso Hao and Drahmin. I might be wrong in terms of Boon hating Kobra (as he's a Street Fighter fanatic), but I know Kobra isn't exactly beloved by their creators. Nor was Deception (as it had plans for different characters than what they actually got….spefically, Goro's, Shao Kahn's, and Liu Kang's revival was never planned to happen).
Deception was a mess really. Kitana was supposed to be playable and a major villain, Fujin was supposed to kill the psychotic Raiden and take over for him, and a shit load of characters were supposed to be included such as Stryker, Sareena, and more.
-
I only played Armageddon, but I hated Kobra the minute I took a look at him from the character select screen.
-
Armageddon was a shitstorm. The only things they did right was give Reptile his MK:SM costume, remember that Sareena existed, and be the last game to have a decent Krypt. Beyond that, I loathed it and I still do.
And yes, I hated Stryker's concept in that game. Such is why I always say that I've waited 16 years for his PROPER return.
-
Armageddon wasn't a total loss, it had some decent extra shit and the Kreate-A-Fighter mode was surprisingly robust (Although that permitted the lamest fatalities in the history of forever.)
-
So who thinks we are getting the last DLC 2 weeks after Rain comes out?
-
Starting a KOTH room. Join anytime!
-
The best thing about Armageddon was the opening.
That's really about it.
Create-a-fatality was a fucking joke and made my pee burn.
-
But Gekko, didn't you like seeing Shao Kahn busting some moves?
-

Yay :D We will know by this week.

Yaaaaay! Oh thank god!
So Comic-Con is THIS WEEK? Crap, flew right over my head.

Looked at the Rain video, the bubbles look REALLY akward.

That's wonderful, but you realize you fuck over the people who WANT to play as those characters. This includes in KOTH games, where even if you're IN LINE to get up for bat, you screw over the two players facing each other?
-
I have been accused of rage quitting: Played a tag match and was losing the first round when the game drops, guy sends me a message basically saying I rage quit. Try to explain to him how the netcode drops games all the time and I would have no reason to drop in the first round anyway but he wasn't hearing it.
-
Its the perfect crime, quit in the middle of a fight, blame the netcode, preserve your dignity.
NR Studios knows the fighting game audience.
-
yeah the MK fighterbase makes SF's look honorable and fair.
-
Oh yeah, when the EFF is Rain gonna be live on the PSN? I've been wanting to play as him all day.
-
should be within the next hour or two.
Also, good matches Tonfa. I'd say i'm most worried about your Kung-Lao. Although you had a good scorpion too.
Lol, I mostly use the ninjas. I've been practicing with Sub Zero lately. Between him, scorp, ermac, and noob… i'm not really sure who's my strongest.
-
Play Rain right now on Laddar. Not bad.
He's got a move that reminds me A LOT of Sektor's flame thrower.
Also…

Banned from EVO. .

I'd say Ermac. You've definitely got good combos going with him, coupled with the fact that his Telekinetic Grabs come out fast on wakeup and have a wide range, he's the ninja you've got the best thing going with.
(Incidentaly, Ermac's shinanegans make him one of my least favorite characters to fight online D: )
-
Download Rain….....practice for 10 minutes.........instantly in my rotation. I am in love with this guy.
-
Some info on the X-Ray reflect I posted above: It's near impossible perform. Apparently, you have to be right next to character as they perform their X-Ray (it's said to only work on Kitana). Normally, the reflect WILL reflect the fan, but it will instead cause about 10% damage to Kitana IF SHE IS HIT. However, there is a very, very rare and random chance that Kenshi (OR NIGHTWOLF) will perform the X-Ray. Again, you're supposed to be right next to her.
On Rain: I like him. His fatalities are…..cute. Nothing all that amazing. His babality is kind of weak. If anything, his flair is in his moveset. He's pretty solid. He's not cheap, but he's not underwhelming. A welcome addition to this game, and most likely will be used online quite a bit.
If I have any complaint: From mine and a lot of people's perspective, we THINK Stryker makes a cameo in Rain's ending. ........Yeah. =(
-
All right, I've got a new ninja added to my roster!
Now I just need to learn how to time his combos…
-
!
Rain is the best character ever; his mere presence lead to a room with Insider, Saurus, Smeckie, & Tonfa. WHERE ARE YOU COMPBROS !!! This is like THE day to be on.
-
We've still got the room going. Feel free to join anyone.
-
I gotta bail right now, but the games that I did manage to play with Koma, Sarus, Shmeckie, and Insider were fun!
Hopefully my connection won't be shitty and droppy next time around.
-
Is there still a room open
-
Today I spent 10 minutes explaining how MK is the greatest series ever on how they created 19 character based off three designs. This one kid in my class, didn't get the humor of it.
-
Is there still a room open
Room? No.
KOTH Room? Yes. Send a message to KingOfSarus and ask for an invite. You may have to request a friend add. -
Hopefully I wont embarrass myself to much with my lack of skill
-
Well, last night was fun. Started getting sleepy so I got off.
-
That's wonderful, but you realize you fuck over the people who WANT to play as those characters. This includes in KOTH games, where even if you're IN LINE to get up for bat, you screw over the two players facing each other?
Not my fault you support paid dlc characters.
Played as Rain today, he's pretty rape.
-
Not my fault you support paid dlc characters.
No, insider and the rest of us support Neatherealm studios. A damn fine company who gave us this wonderful game. I certainly don't mind paying for a character that a) I want to play as. b) I feel is worth the purchase and c) the company who made it, IMO, deserves my support.
Supporting "paid DLC characters" is simply buying them. That is the "support"
Don't like paying for extra content?…. then don't effing buy em. Simple.
Refusing to download a FREE compatibility pack, that contains a goodwill gesture of two FREE alternate costumes, and in turn hampering the experience for other gamers (like yourself) isn't really some kind of boycott…. it's being a prick.
edit: sorry I missed out yesterday guys.... stupid real life friends...

Oh my lord, what Gekko said times a thousand!

I already gave them money for the game, I just don't support paid dlc characters, thats all. The costumes don't swade me at all, their just their old costumes, plus I don't see how having 'free' costumes is a goodwill gesture, that should be a common thing.
-
You refuse to buy DLC characters. That's fine. You are thus not supporting them. (even though by buying the actual game you are still supporting a company that releases DLC…)
Not really much of a boycott since, DLC is here to stay. "Not supporting" them isn't really anything more than just saying "I don't want to pay for that. So I guess I won't purchase that". THAT'S IT.The choice is yours...
But refusing to download a free pack isn't really a boycott as that stance doesn't achieve anything! In fact it's actually limiting your online experience (as well as others… -.-). You could still enjoy battling those characters too. As a fighting game fan I like more people to face.... even if I may not play as those characters.
You're not interested in the free costumes... ok, to each his own. I mean... they're free and all. So horrible I know. Such greed. Lol, you say free costumes should be a common thing... which in the case of MK... IT IS!! They've released six free costumes so far!! That's pretty darn cool! What more do you f*cking want?
Or… how is the compatibility pack any different than a mandatory download patch that you'd have no choice about? (MvC3 or Blazblue?).
Case in point, you're just being stubborn for no good reason. I won't slight your stance on not wanting to pay for extra content.... fine. That's your choice.
But you really have no good excuse for not downloading the compatibility packs.

Back on the KOTH room last night: Can I just say that I can play with almost anyone in this game to some degree but the random select picked the few people I can't play with about 80 percent of the time lol.
