thanks DJ

sort of off topic, i figured id throw a few things in here that i noticed today in a video.

Subs Slide is a Free Throw,

You can break out of KK before it starts

Superman has a FF4 Nightwolf type move ( credit goes to RedSaleen for this one )

Shang has a Throw where the animation for it looks like Shao Kahns, and after it connects, it sort of looks like Kahns throw too.

^^^ all of this can be found in the 4 minute tutorial on IGN titled "The Power of Heros"


RedSaleen made the point that The Joker will have Acid Properties, which might mean no Reptile in the game.

Cage, Raiden, Kung Lao are good guesses for the remaining roster. Cage and Raiden definitly.

All that stuff maybe true but I don't think free throws are gonna be big factors of the game anymore since the new grab is KK. I'm guessing they're gonna go back to the MK1-4 days when you had to get all up in the opponents face just to do a grab.

naw, not at all man. just making obversations while im still here.

things that make the free throw glitch possible is part of the poor programming. for instance, subs slide might only be a free throw if you duck. but its 100% escapable if you jump away. these kind of things are more important to me about getting fixed. i shouldnt have to be forced to jump away.

id love to know how the KK cancel works. you can see it in the new gameplay vids as well on gamespot. theres some sort of pull in after the grab that you might have to do in a certain amount of time, but hopefully, there is a way to just get out of it. i could of sworn i seen shang run over catwoman one time after she tried to KK him.

maximum damage in KK seems to be 30%, not much different then a launch throw. i wonder if you can just mash 1234 during KK, that would make it pretty useless

"wall" combos ( freefall ) can go up to 40%, not much different then air cancels.

but i also looked at the new gameplay vids and saw another possible sign of a free throw. scorpions spear at the end of a combo will leave the opponent facing the other way ( he pulls you towards him, then you just go past him ) we all know that kind of thing leads to free throws because the player has to turn around before they can move. hopefully a wakeup game is fully implemented to solve these existing problems.

sidestep looks crisp, itll be worth the effort. duck being only down now is GREAT, id definitly give up ss down for that! thats a step in the right direction in my eyes.

i hope the blocking animations are just as crisp. i saw subs, his looks VERY crisp, but batmans seems slow.


ok, enough ranting for now. i guess im gonna miss out on this one ; ( ill do my best to pick it up before mk9, just trying to give some insight till im gone in a few weeks.

oh and ive mentioned this before about combos.. the biggest ones are gonna be off free throws... but damage is not guarenteed after it though, however, if you were to guess right everytime, thats 23-30% damage, and near a wall is gonna lead to "test your might" ( not sure how much that gives, i think 15% ) or freefall kombat (another 40% if guessed right everytime ) i look at freefall kombat as a interactive air cancel.

so in practice mode, youre gonna see those 70% combos at least, but in a real game, id imagine 35-40%.

later dude

Hmm, I think I'm starting to find out your little secret to do these crazy things like in MKDA-MKA...

But anyway...

I also remember seeing a "break away" for KK in one of those vids. That itself could make sure that there arn't any freegrabs along with a good wake up system as you already stated.

The main thing I was saying before in my other post was basically since things like grabs, test your might ,and level changing (freefall) are all interactive for both players they most likely won't be used in high level play due to risk of taking damage.

And good luck on doing whatever you gonna do for the next few weeks. I hope you'll be able to get the game.

Check ~ there will be zero free grabs in MK VS DC. mainly because we can break the KK instantly if we know its coming. hence no more free throws.

i also seen people bitch about subbies ice clone move. its not broken he cant attack when the clone is done, so now it makes sense that he can do it up close.


DJ ~ if your gonna tell every one the full cast list, then why are only like 5 listed in your post? are you just being fat and lazy??

Its not a secret, ive been very clear how everything is cause and effect from what i do. its just from a lot of expierience, that i recognize things so quickly.

very true, im really happy with the throw system in this game, it surpasses anything else ive ever seen. the only thing i dont like is you can see which buttons your opponent is pressing. might as well just stare at their controller the entire time. very noobish. but even at that, its a complete guessing game, and no real skill involved. depends how you look at it.

the thing is, like i just mentioned. its a complete rock paper scissors, there is no high level involved in these interactions. i just dont see both players sitting there doing nothing the entire time during freefall. and as for KK, i dont think Kounters give any frame advantage or free hits. you just break out of them and both players recover at the same time. you might have the length of a parry to hit someone before they can block out of a Kounter

so are you saying that noone is gonna use Freefall/KK? just curious.

well, i was waiting to make this post all day, because i JUST talked to my family up in NJ and it looks like i wont be able to make it up there till January.

Which means... ya'll are stuck with me in MKDC for 2 months im very excited because i was disapointed that i wasnt gonna be able to play this game after i moved. now i get a chance to for a few months. i cant wait!

ya'll are getting this shit for ps3 right? from what i understand, ps3 is gonna be dead.

Dancock - sup dude, yea, i was just pointing out that the ability to free throw off some things might be there. hopefully now that duck is only down that will prevent being thrown after you duck. depends if they fix the throw animation and high to low transition.

anyway, gonna pick up a ps3 as soon as i sell this car, just gotta find out how much its worth.

later folks!

Catwoman's by bitch.

@Dan and Check:

Wait I do have everyone up there. Jax, Kitana, and Green Lantern are written because their renders arn't out yet. You see? I made sure it wasn't a fat and lazy post.

the current roster isnt 5 characters. go re look at your first post since you seem to be confused.

To me, it looks like every character controls like KAK, where you can mix lows with mids and stuff, this game is going to suck like MKA.

I'm not confused...

what do you mean by 5 characters? The MK side? There are only FIVE out of SEVEN PICS avalable. Jax and Kitana are WRITTEN UNDER the pics of EVERYONE else.

Lol, I couldn't fing any other way to explain it.

when i get home ill show you what it actually looks like on my screen at work and at home..

it doesnt look like that. clearly thats what Check sees as well.

Hmm, that's weird...

DanCock - yes

DevilJin - I see the same thing as dan, a picture of liu kang, with jax and kitana written under it, and for DC i see a picture of Batman with Green Lantern written under it, thats it.

Johnny Cage, Shao Kahn and Kano are going to be the last 3 characters on the MK side.


Wait wait you gotta have Raiden. Hmmm, I'm going off the basis each side will have 10 characters. Shao Kahn probably won't be playable then I guess.

O.k I attempted to fix it. If it still doesn't work I don't know what to tell you guys then.

appreciated, still nothing.

now its a pic of scorpion with jax kitana written below it

and a picture of superman with green lantern written below it.

...for me and dan, lol ill guess and say it has something to do with our resolution, but i wouldnt know. thanks for trying DJ

Yeah, sorry I can't do anything about it. I thought because I used the links straight from mortal kombat warehouse.com it messed up but I was wrong. I saved all of the pics on my PC and uploaded them on photobucket.com. Thought it'd help but I was wrong.

I don't know maybe it is you resolution. Mess around with your options until you're able to see them clearly.

dont worry about it, i wont be coming back to this site anymore

you all should go read JFCaliburs brilliant post about me over at midway, Apparently ive been that bad of a person to this community. god i wish i knew that before i wasted 4 years of my life.

I'll finish posting my 2 or 3 youtube vids then im out.

hope yall enjoyed my time here. sorry for whatever it is ive done to ya.

later

Can't find it, link?

why do you let stupid moron fanboys upset you?

hey dan, sorry for my anger post. i just needed time to cool down from that last night. Im fine now.

Im attempting to make peace with the guy. along with everyone else. I love MK too much for any of this to transpire and i am truly sorry for whatever ive done. Im asking for forgiveness from the entire community. Im going to attempt to work things out with JTF and hope we can get things back to normal.

I finally got registered over at midway! lol. DJ, Jago, Predator151 and Bleed. I thanked you guys over there. I will flood that thread with gameplay questions and hopefully that will do just as good as me flying out there for a day etc. ( i still would want to do it, all they have to do is say yes )

anyway, gtg edit some more combos, take care everyone.
