Some clarifications and responses:
Don't know how much of it was real, nobody was THAT cheap at my arcade back in the day, if that stuff was even possible. Maybe they had to enable that endless run code or something.
Regardless, still fun to watch
Yes it's all real, no codes were used except infinite time and health codes, but about 99% of the stuff is unusable in actual gameplay, it's all for show. We've adapted a lot of it however in some way to work in matches. 99% of the combos are completely unblockable after the first hit, I think maybe a dozen or so combos out of maybe 300 in all our videos have something about them that is always blockable. Go to
www.darktemplarz.com/combovideos to check out the 7 other UMK3/PSX MKT combo videos, and there is another one on the way.
I've seen that video so many time's. It is so awesome. Everytime you watch it, you will find something you didn't see previously.
Thanks, sometimes I notice new things myself!
Thats pretty cool. I think we have a member called DreemerNJ...
DreemerNJ is a personal friend of mine I grew up with and together our love of UMK3 and MKT respectively has produced a legacy of combo videos that have reawakended interest in the game dramatically.
Rat's comments: just a pretty good close match. The 2nd one I think the other guy let him just do an almost 100% combo. (And damn the guy that was subzero was such a damn turtler, i hate those guys)
That is a match video from East Coast Championships 10 in Dunellen NJ back in May which I attended and placed 3rd under the two best players in the world, Lex and Moe from Chicago. Julian is also an excellent player and he is well known for his turtling and unorthodox character selection. He didn't "allow" him to do the 99% (potential 100% and obvious infinite scenario), it was because he did an early jump kick and Lex scouted it, setting up one of his infamous Kung Lao kill combos. There's no escape except the person's probablity of screwing it up. It's not as easy as it looks, especially getting someone out of the corner like that on the first shot. You can hear me say as Lex begins the devastation "This is on tape" cause I was taping lol.
I have posted that a million times.
