    Trolling against special move spammers (^_~)

    I would think that NRS will patch anything like that this time around. I should also clarify what I said before. Even though I rely on special moves most of the time, to me that is just a playing style. If you find one move that your opponent obviously doesn't know how to counter and you...

    TE Fight Stick Appreciation Thread

    I'm still getting used to the stick. I played around with remapping the buttons to emulate the HP, LP, HK, and LK feel of the original MK games, but it made throws too difficult to pull off. I love the stick for pulling off normal moves. I'm still getting used to the ones that require...

    Trolling against special move spammers (^_~)

    Last night I was using Raiden throwing a lot of special moves just because that's the way I know how to play, I never got into the combo system. I told my girlfriend, who was watching, that I thought the guy I was playing with probably thought I was cheap. She said, "What does that mean?" And...

    Ugh, why did they put in dial-a-combos?

    That would be "YOU'RE an idiot" jackass. Mortal Kombat II is an example of create your own combos. You have to string moves together, but there are no "preset 3 button starters" There are no starters at all. It's all up to you. So fine, starters, dial-a-combos, whatever you want to call...

    Ugh, why did they put in dial-a-combos?

    I was so hyped for this game because Boon and team promised a return to MK and MKII style roots with no preset combos, just people figuring out which moves can be strung together. Then I plug the game in and go to training and it shows me how to do some frigging DIAL A COMBOS!!!!!! I thought...

    How to get better?

    It depends what you want to get better at. Remember, computer opponents are programmed a certain way. You will eventually learn their weaknesses and what works agains them. Obviously, what works against computer opponents will not work against human components. I'm sure in the upcoming days...

    Ed Boon"Freddy" tweet

    I actually think Freddy Kruger would fit into the MK unverse quite nicely!!!!!! But I've always wanted to see a horror movie fighting game. Can you imagine Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, Pinhead, The Thing, Leatherface, The Exorcist girl, and characters like that all in a single fighting game...

    Kollector's guide on Amazon has shipped!

    Mine still says its being prepared for shipment...whatever that means. It has an estimated delivery date of April 22 - April 26. I don't really care, I didn't buy it for a strategy guide, I just got it because it looked like a cool collectable.

    Mileena's Flesh Pit Costume Gameplay

    I think it's fine as an unlockable, but a little underwhelming for the "big prize" in the game. I was really hoping for MK, MKII, and UMK3, but what are ya gonna do? No matter what they made the big prize, people would complain it's not good enough. An additional costume does seem a...

    Got My PDP TE MK Fight Stick Today

    Have you tried it with any other games? I assume it is compatible with any game that you can use a d-pad with, right? As for the money, I really debated it too. But in the end I decided that there really aren't arcades anymore and I have always hated using d-pads for fighting games. So would...

    Joystick or Dpad?

    Always played on a d-pad at home because I have never been satisfied with any home stick, except for the NES Advantage, which was the best home video game controller ever. My preference is for arcade sticks and I ordered the TE with the hopes that its quality will really match its coin-op...

    To those not reading any spoilers

    First, I'd like to congratulate you. I fully understand where you are coming from. It's nice to play a brand new game with a totally clean slate. I kind of wish I could too, but I just can't resist spoilers. I also don't really care so much about knowing what fatalities look like, to me the...

    Did anyones online order ship yet?

    Mine is Xbox. I dropped by my local Gamestop today before I found this out just to see what their policy is on unclaimed TEs. The guy there said they got 27 Xbox versions and 13 PS3 versions, already in stock and ready to sell. He said that after 48 hours they will call people who haven't...

    Atlanta Revival April "It's my TIME!" April 30th, 2011

    I think it's pretty safe to say that it will. $10 to park is nothing compared to being in a neighborhood where you have to worry about your car being broken into. I don't think most people who play games are going to venture out to Fulton Industrial. Who's your marketing director, T.I...

    Wow. The best sources can say is that it will be more powerful than consoles that are 6 years old and should be getting their own successors soon? Way to pioneer, Nintendo!

    Atlanta Revival April "It's my TIME!" April 30th, 2011

    Fulton Industrial? You're really keeping it classy! At least that Fairview Inn probably has hourly rates if anyone needs to take a nap between gaming sessions.

    Kids Playing Rated M or 18+ Games

    I often think about whether I would buy a violent video game for my children if I had them. The answer is, it depends on the child. Every child is different. For example, my 5 year old nephew could play Mortal Kombat and he would just think it was cool, he wouldn't even notice the...

    Scariest Movie?

    I hate to sound cliche, but sometimes cliches are true. We all know that, being MK fans, because MK is the cliche bloody gore game, and we all know that it truly is and its reputation is well deserved. Anyway, for scariest movie of all time, I'd say it's a tie between The Exorcist and Texas...
