Official Mortal Kombat 9 Thread [PS3/360]

[Bcotton5]

So I'm watching GrandCrush right now,

What's the deal with NoelBrown and Viper. Was that the fight from months back in Atlanta?

Guard Crush is on now? I thought it was June 8th? What website?

Yea they was the ones that fought on stream, it was in NY I think

Spooky has it as the latest stream from Memorial Weekend. Yipes is a fool he was hyping up the match so bad. The crowd was really hype for it.

 

[love yal]

How many hidden characters are in this game?...how can you get Scarlet?...is there any friendship in Mortal Kombat for 360?

 

[GTariq]

LOL Dudes are killing me with their messages. I get a message that all I do is block. Learn how to play, but yet 80% of his offense was throws and wake ups. I picked up on his wake ups and punished him he start crying.

 

[Shyheim]

lol @ everybody taking turns bodying me in this, niggas just go nuts and dont care about being punished in this

LOL Is that right, Mr. Ryu Sentinel? I don't know who you were referring to with 'everybody,' but I admit I haven't been taking some matches as seriously as, say, SSF2. That and the majority of people I've fought do nothing but spam and use weak, easily punishable patterns.

I cant tell whats safe or punishable, that comes with more experience though

...Or a Strategy Guide/FAQ.

I dont understand the wakeup game at all in this, its like some ppl can wake up with invincible attacks all day for free and not get punished

In fighting games you're usually at the advantage in when you score a knockdown, its like they have more options than you do as the attacker

That's true. The majority of wakeup attacks are either damn near invincible, or they occur so fast you hardly ever expect it (i.e. You with that goddamn Kung Lao spin you spammed)

lol The same shit has happened to me--Muthafuckas have zero skill (You're really trying to dash w/Kabal outside of a combo? :lol), then bitch when they get beat. Grow the fuck up and get your skils up.

lol I dont know what Ryu Sentinel is supposed to mean, Sentinel was a mid tier character in MVC3 even before he got his health nerfed now he's only used for his assist and as a lvl3 X factor anchor, Ryu is close to low tier in AE and he was mid tier in SSF4.

And I use Ryu in EVERY SF even 3rd Strike where theres no point in using Ryu over Ken, Ryu hasnt been top tier in a SF game since SF2 Hyper Fighting

lol I dont care enough or have enough time to study the game in and out, I just play it for fun, Ive never even used training mode. If you didnt notice I dont know any combos at all

I dont even understand the reasoning behind some of the attacks being invincible on wake up, like I can see why a teleport would be but moves that aint even punishable on block are invincible.

lol I was spamming that Kung Lao move because its invincible and if you block it it pushes far away so you cant punish. Its retarded why a developer would have something like that in a game.

LOL It was an ironic joke considering your play style with both characters regardless of their tier standings.

Yeah, I noticed. And the game is fun and accessible as hell, even if you haven't played a MK game since the '90s, so of course people are gonna play it for fun. Like I said before, I was a little surprised by the online, especially compared to any Capcom fighter, Tekken, etc.--Most people I've fought were doing dumb, obvious shit over and over again.

I dont even understand the reasoning behind some of the attacks being invincible on wake up, like I can see why a teleport would be but moves that aint even punishable on block are invincible.

...Me neither, especially considering all the talk about how 'balanced' the characters are (Yeah, right).

lol I was spamming that Kung Lao move because its invincible and if you block it it pushes far away so you cant punish. Its retarded why a developer would have something like that in a game.

lol Yeah. That spin is almost as broken/cheap as it was in Trilogy. I wouldn't be surprised if he, Kitana, Kano, and a few other characters got nerfed in the future. And I ain't even gonna start on comboing into the X-Ray Moves...

 

[Bcotton5]

lol I didnt know there was a cheap way to play Ryu, Im assuming youre talking about zoning. one misplaced fireball and you could lose a chunk of your life/ cost you the game. He has match ups where his fireballs are useless and he has to win strictly with his normals.

Sentinel is a big punching bag/combo dummy in MVC3

Kabal was nerfed already, they said Kung Lao is def getting nerfed

It hasnt been out that long so I dont know how good or bad most of the characters are, I didnt think Kabal was all that until I saw Online Tony using him at a tournament

You literally CANT do anything but block he can lock you down the entire fight

...I never said anything about 'playing cheap,' I was going by what you said about getting bodied by everyone.

It hasnt been out that long so I dont know how good or bad most of the characters are,

...I still haven't even played as everyone. I was referring to those I've played as. And Kabal's whole purpose in MK games is to get nerfed--I remember how he was damn near unstoppable when MK3 first dropped...

 

[Ajax McJones]

barakas got a good move set, he just needs some damage amplification

baraka sucks balls and always will, that guy has no personality or characterization hes just an ugly fuck with a weak costume.

 

[KillaCham]

I still haven't played online in this.

 

[genocide_cutter]

I still haven't played online in this.

[Bcotton5]

[GTariq]

Brady talking shit with that Fatality?

 

[Bcotton5]

lol I know most MK pros dont do fatalities, its kinda like taunting I guess

This Blazblue shit is kinda hype

 

[GTariq]

When they talk about characters being free, what does that mean?

 

[Bcotton5]

When they talk about characters being free, what does that mean?

free= easy win, dont have to work for it lol

 

[GTariq]

Oh ok...

So I had 15 bucks to spare, and I got gave in and got AE. I feel like I have big learning curve to get into with this game.
