dont play it. plain and simple. for y'all who want 876875875 hit combos and juggling combos, play mk3. for yall who want good throws and shit, play tekken. lol for real though on the realest level some of y'all make me think of that analogy you always hear about "doctor doctor, it hurts when I do this...Well stop doing it." I think that MK has progressed on so many levels since 1992, but thats just my opinion . Midway put ALOT into this game, with the intricate fighting styles and what not. And if y'all want realistic responses to fights, go fight with a shaolin monk. I practice Kung Fu(Kuntao Silat, Ba Gua and Shaolin), and I was pleased with the programming of such fighting styles into the game. I'm only 17, but I've been playing MK since kano actually ripped out your heart. just your heart. thats 92. but seriously if you guys dont like the game...dont play it. asalaam aliekum
