Hello everyone, UMK3, since it came out when I was little, has always been my favorite MK. I purchased MKA and was delighted to finally get an arcade perfect port of this game, after all the crappy 16-bit ports that were released.

Anyway, onto my questions, I hope someone can answer these. (These questions are for the arcade version ONLY).

1.) In a one player game, when you choose Robo-Smoke and hold Away+HP+HK+BL+RN, you turn into Human Smoke. I did this years ago all the time in the arcade.

I noticed with the MKA version, it changes the background to the blue portal and his face pic on the one player tower is a question mark. I don't remember it being like this. I could have sworn in the arcade his face pic was just robo-smoke and using Human Smoke didn't change the stage to the portal. Am I wrong?

2.) I know Rain isn't in the game, and that Noob Saibot is but isn't playable, but now that it is on PS2, is there a way to use Game Shark to make Rain or Noob playable?

3.) Please tell me in the MKA version the UKK system isn't the only way to unlock the three hidden fighters in UMK3 and if it is, please tell me it saves to the memory card or there is an alternate way. I don't have any friends near me to play with and the UKK's took two people and entering them every time would frustrate me.
