As our coverage of E3 is winding down, we thought we'd continue with one of the classics: Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. In this video, you can see a match of Liu Kang vs. Smoke in the waterfront. Very good news for fans of the classic games - none of the shadow glitches that plagued the Midway Arcade Treasures series seem to be present in this build. We couldn't tell if the music was arcade-perfect - the show was very crowded and noisy - but since there are no other obvious glitches, we think it's safe to say that everything else is in order. So without further ado, download the following:

• UMK3 on X-Box Live - Smoke vs. Liu Kang

The video above is in MPEG format.

Also of interest - Mortal Kombat II was apparently in the Classic Gaming Booth in E3's Kentia Hall, but someone had allegedly stolen the cartridge long before we got there. At least they had good taste!

Though E3 2006 is over, we at MKO still have a few more updates planned for you, the MK fan. For this update, we have now typed up a transcript of the entire video interview with Ed Boon from E3 2006. (If you haven't seen it yet, you should probably check it out first!)

E3 may be over, but our coverage is only now winding down! While we were at E3, ]{0MBAT and CCShadow managed to get some time to sit down and run through the version of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon's Konquest mode that was available for people to play. What we saw covered about the first thirty to forty minutes, as Taven, son of the protector of Edenia Argus (presumably Edenia's equivalent of Raiden), awakes from a long sleep to find himself at the center of an ages-old prophecy, and facing off against such warriors as the Black Dragon and the Tekunin. ]{0MBAT and CCShadow recorded their run through Konquest mode, and we now make these videos available for you in Quicktime format.

This concludes this year's coverage of the Electronic Entertainment Exposition. On behalf of everyone here at Mortal Kombat Online, I thank you all for joining us as we reported on the current state of MK Armageddon and MK Unchained, and invite you to join us as we continue our coverage of these games up until their releases!

Today marks the final day of our live E3 2006 coverage here in Los Angeles. I'd like to start this update out by stating we had the pleasure of meeting up with fellow MK fansite TRMK again as well as fansites DavesMK and Total Mortal Kombat.

Continuing our coverage of MK: Armageddon, you may have noticed in one of our earlier updates today the alternate costumes included for all the playable characters. This is somewhat of a rarity, as in previous E3's alternate costumes were not accessible by simply pressing start instead of one of the main buttons. To comment a little bit more on the gameplay, one of the best improvements over Deception was the addition of "cross-ups" - e.g., when you flip over an opponent and kick them, you will actually be kicking in their direction. This definitely rewards more offensive fighting and brings back that old-school feeling, but at the same time works well with the new Aerial Kombat system.

In regards to the special moves, there are many moves which really capture the feeling of each character. Scorpion's teleport has a "ghostly" effect to it that looks better than ever. When he throws his opponent, he pushes them away - but while they're in the air, throws the spear upward, and brings them back to him for more punishment. Jarek has a move where he takes a lasso and slams you all around the room. Kintaro has the ability to bring you towards him from across the arena simply by pulling his arms towards himself fast enough to create a gust of wind that traps his opponents. Stryker's grenades from MK3 are back, and his Taser Fatality from that game is back as a special move. When Sareena uses her throwing knife, the blade actually does get lodged in her opponent's shoulder, impaling them, but it does not cause actual draining on the energy bar (just like Nightwolf's Arrow in MKD).

And now, here is a list of all the playable characters and their fighting styles (both their hand-to-hand and their weapon style). Keep in mind that everything on this list is just based on the E3 build and is subject to change.

Goro - Shokan, Gauntlets
Stryker - Hua Chuan, Night Sticks
Sektor - Choy Lay Fut, Pulse Blade
Shinnok - Pao Chui, Amulet Staff
Sheeva - Kuatan, Shokan Blades
Kintaro - Tiger Fist, Saber Teeth
Fujin - Mian Chuan, Wind Blade
Rain - Zi Ran Men, Storm Sword
Kai - Moi Fah, Machete
Sub-Zero - Nan Chuan, Kori Blade
Reiko - Pi Gua, Devastator
Jarek - Kuo Shou, Kick Axe
Scorpion - Zha Chuan, Ninja Sword
Shao Kahn - Tai Tzu, Wrath Hammer
Sareena - Yue Chuan, Demon Fangs
