So these are the types of combos you thought were possible in the arcade?

Matt

Basically I've never touched the arcade version, and the mags I read were saying UMK3 on Saturn is Arcade Perfect.

But I never really saw how it played, cos no one ever played it.

OK. Now i know that Saturn is broken lol capture as many combos as u can KLSadako, they are cool anyway

that is awsome

Yeah, its a shame reviewers only seem to play fighting games for 10 minutes before they write their reviews. I still remember G4TechTV's Judgement Day show reviewed GGXX for PS2 and claimed it was bad because you could always win by using 1 button. Sizad.

And then there was gamespot that reviewed a supposed 6 face button Dreamcast controller. They said it was great for SF3S and SFA3 because you could have 6 unique face buttons. They later retracted the review when they realized that the controller's 2 extra face buttons could only be mapped to the other face buttons and so you only had 4 useable face buttons anyway. They had written the whole review without ever realizing, because they either didn't actually test it or they are retarded. Or both :)

The official Saturn mag said MK2 was arcade perfect, lol

Anyway here's a nightwolf 100%

WTF?! You have to make umk3 and mk2 saturn combo vids

K, that is fucked!

Both the MK2 and UMK3 kombos were taken from vids I've made back in 2002.

Here's a Sector 100%

Wow its such a loose interpretation of UMK3. Kinda makes me want to try making combos for the Gameboy version or something.

Now that would be awesome.

Keep posting those Saturn Combo videos. They are fun to watch. I am actually trying to hunt down a Saturn and UMK 3. Are there any outrageous combos you can do with human Smoke?

Dreemer, I definitely would love to see a gameboy MK combo video! ;)

My human smoke kombos are nothing special, nothing you haven't seen before.

Can you combo stuff off uppercuts easily? It seems like you can, like you could probably do uppercut and get Ermac's lift before they touch the ground, start with a lift, uppercut at the highest point, then repeat uppercut lift til you've done 5 lifts, and finish it off, they should actually be dead by then lol. Stuff like aaRH, to harpoon should be very easy to get anywhere, so do like, aaRH, harpoon, HK, LP, harpoon, HK, D+LP, D+HP, run step, aaHP,HP, probably another aaHP, jump kick, air throw.

Matt

I haven't played it for a while, and don't think I can find it, it's in the house somewhere, but I don't think I could do multiple Air-lifts with Ermac, same with Stryker, I could only do his Gun move one time in a kombo.

It'd be hilarious if they added a couple of things to balance the game and then left the other 95% totally broken.

haha, maybe they tried that.

Here's a 100% with Scorpion

Ok so they obviously gave up at some point during this games creation.

And on a side note, in response to actual support for a GB MK game combo video I tried out the various MK games for the original GB and for GBC.

MK1 and 2 are what is to be expected. MK3 is pretty bad, and then there is MK4.

MK4 was created for Gameboy Color and represents the greatest crime against the fighting game genre EVER. It is the worst anything every made for anything by anybody. I can't believe they sold this, I can't believe it was ever bought by anyone.

There will be no GB combo video. This is too much for even the strongest man to bear.

Yeah, we spent 3 minutes looking at it and found infinites galore lol.

Matt

One 100% combo that works for Human Smoke on any version of UMK3 throught Trilogy. It's a broken up combo, and the computer can actually break out of this combo somehow, but if you can do it, winning the match is a sintch. Start the combo with HK, D + LP, D + HP, then walk into opponent and throw two standing Low Punches, and throw your Roped Spear (B, B, LP), then keep repeating until your opponent is defeated. There are also combos that will work in the arcade that require you to time in a Jump In LP, followed by a pop up combo, and then done all over again. It is pretty difficult to do on the Arcade, and MAME, but is is doable (if that is a word). On all other home versions, it is easy to do.

Whats up with Jax in the Nightwolf Combo?
It look like he,s floating in the air after the tomahawk uppercut lol.
By the way, the badest MK game ever (Ok dont count the NES Pirate Mk,s lol) is MKT for Game.com.
The Game.com is something like the GB but just worser.

The smoke combo you describe can repeat like that because because it breaks as you say, so its blockable in the middle of the 3 hit autocombo. It just so happens the computer will not block it 99% of the time, but if you are playing a person and they press block it'll be stopped.

ANd yes, just about everyone has a relaunch infinite like you describe. MK2KungBroken was really let down when he found them because they seem unbelieveably broken. They rank up there with Kung Lao's spin infs with me.

The Smoke combo is somehow not blockable if you do it to the frame. I didn't fully realize this till a few months ago when I was playing a guy online and get several volleys of it in a row, resulting in 80%+ damage, and I asked why he didn't bother blocking. He said he was, then next round I tried it out some more and again he couldn't block it, yet it would break. I asked Lex about it to be sure and he says it's to the frame.

The relaunch combos are pretty nasty once you get the timing down, but there is no room for error. The hit zone is pretty much the exact same on everyone, but the CPU doesn't hold block ever so on the Robots and Sheeva it's easier, since the connection window is much bigger, but the actual frame you can relaunch someone is the same. Probably 2 out of 3 times I try relaunches on someone who is using Robot Smoke they block it but I still get them into a grounded comboable state. I have become very good at judging the timing though as of late on relaunch combos against a lot of different characters. I think Kung Lao's infinites are much easier.

Here's a 100% with Shang Tsung and some kombos
