Apparently the new version of the software has hit several arcades in the Chicago area. Diversions and Dennis' Place were the only 2 we heard reports about, but other arcades in that vicinity may have the upgrade as well (call your local arcade for details). Here are some of the highlights:<BR><BR>
</UL><CENTER><TABLE WIDTH=80% BORDER=0><TR><TD><FONT COLOR="#FF8000"><I>
- The 3 middle question marks on the character select screen are
now filled by Noob Saibot, Jax, & Johnny Cage respectively (Perhaps there will be no UKKs this time around?)<BR>
- The damage for many combos has been reduced substantially (by 50% in some cases)<BR>
- "Side-step" has been added allowing players to move in 3D ever so slightly (motion unclear and will be announced later)<BR>
- Goro's Lair has rocks scattered about and players can pick them up (like they would a weapon - D+RUN) to throw at their opponent<BR>
- Computer AI has been made more difficult<BR>
- "Danger" has been added (when you only have a sliver of life left)<BR>
- Character Bios are now in the game; we should have them all for you
as soon as we can get them<BR>
- Shinnok is now at the top of every tower (could this mean he will be the boss character?)<BR>
- Still no endings<BR>
- Match up screens for 2 player mode are in and the Kombat Kode boxes are there as well (not as many symbols this time around)<BR>
- Sub-Zero has a new staff-like weapon and supposedly when other characters use it, they can freeze their opponent.<BR>
- Apparently characters can <B>throw</B> their weapons at their opponents causing considerable amounts of damage if not blocked
