man i cant wait to

Happy birthday Malheur!
19 ,what a young age, LOL.

Hey, Sabre, do the fighters really have but 2 styles:
- 1 weapon and
- 1 hand to hand style?

Edit: I found HJS thread about MKA:
Gameplay of MKA
Thanks a lot, HJS, for making this article!

That's really a pitty, now I know how they can make so much different characters without giving them the same styles.

Formerly I thought it would be like in MKD with 3 styles which could be either one of the following:

- 2 hand to hand
- 1 weapon

OR

- 1 hand to hand
- 2 weapon styles.

Happy Birthday, Malheur.

Hope to see you guys on tonight.



There's alot of options given who you play as though it's harder for some. If you have AIM or MSN, I can school you in. PM me your add.



Given how I've been playing lately, you'll probably own me! Lol!

good games dude. Looking forward for some games on MKA too. =)

Hey Galactic! Get online and play!

Yes

1 hand to hand
1 weapon

So no more big branch combos now

Thx a lot dudes for ur wishes regarding my birthday - it really was a pleasure to read all ur comments

@Tgrant: I ́m sry but I ́m neither equipped with MSN nor AIM so it might get difficult... I ́m using, however, ICQ so if that were a compromise?

@Luna: Trust me: There WILL be some huge combos for sure! The only thing is that the way u perform them is a "bit" different than u are used to it because now they are performed within the airkombat.

Imagine the following: U start from scratch with a little combo smashing ur opponent into the air followed by some air tricks and finished with a devestating ground attack! That sounds good if u ask me....

I've not heard of ICQ.

Are you coming online?

Trust me Malheur, I'll trust Luna on this. Try not to get too excited because I think even Midway are already planning for MK8.

Come on guys, somehow I get the impression you and Kris are just a bit dissapointed cause Midway is not going to make a PAL version of MKA. Anyway, I think you should give MKA a chance. If you had read the report of MASTERMALONE, you should've been aware of the fact that they have done quite some effort to make MKA a lot better (read less broken) than MKD. Thrust me, there will be big long combo's, maybe just not that high damaging. Which sounds good to me (Malheur, you can bite the dust!! hehe).

As to the 2 fighting styles only, I don't think this will spoil the fun that much, maybe it evens the characters a bit more, maybe not. At least this way we'll be able to master more characters, since we don't have to learn all those moves, combo's etc. We'll have to see. Fact is Midway knows about the freethrows, OTG and Infinites (they call them loops), and tried hard to get rid of them. Let's hope they succeeded.
One way or another, I think we all will have a lot of fun with this new game.

I'm not trying to blow the party for MK:A. Not at all guys!

I myself will be there from day one. I just trust Luna on this one. He's got good and reliable source of information more than most on MKO, trust me on that dude.

I myself have seen alotta exclusive videos of MK:A and not once did I see a good power combo and branching is pretty much dead. I think they've put alotta effort into building the stages and new characters that somehow the gameplay we're all accustomed to has somewhat been compromised. I do however think those with 50/50 style of play rather than big combo guys are going to be the winners when it’s finally released (initially till we all adapt). That’s why I’ve been working on that through MKD. I’m personally trying to become less dependent on high combos because there aren’t gon’ be much of it in MK:A.

Please make no mistake about the fact that I’m definitely looking forward to MK:A but my excitement level is just capped for the aforementioned reasons.

So far the game looks a million times better then MKD. If you enjoyd MKD you're gonna love this.


Two styles are good.


3 styles were too much and besides, what character in high level play do you use all of her 3 styles? none.

I know, I was informed on that by himself already.

Exactly my words. I do like a good long 50+% combo from time to time myself, but 50/50 is my game. Beware!!!


anyway guys, I can come online tonight as from 20 GMT+1 till midnight, just let me know

I agree 100%

Yo PAL guys, just wanted to know whether you have a clue yet which char. you are planning to use for MKA. I know it's a bit early, but maybe you got some favorites already??

I plan to use:

-RAIN (looks like he has awesome specials)
-MOTARO (I hope he is good)
-KUNG LAO (what can I say, he is an icon!
-KABAL (can't let him go, unless his new Weapon stance sucks, I need those hookswords,lol)
-SEKTOR (he has always been one of my favorites, but I didn't like his stance in the vid I've seen)
-CYRAX (see sektor, yet no footage. Hope he is better than in MK DA)
-SMOKE
-NOOB
-SCORPION
-SHEEVA
-SHUJINKO
-FUJIN (he seems to be a powerful char.)
-MEAT

These choices are primarily based on looks, so very likely to change when MKA is actually in my PS2

A million times better? Com' on dude! MKA is based on MKD engine. Maybe MK8 will look a million times better, but not MK:A.


I could name a few...
Kobra
Kabal
Jinko
Ermac
Sub
Jade
Raiden
...just to name a few

Trax

Kobra - Kick Boxing is crap
Kabal - Sun Bin is crap
Jinko - Dan Tien Dao is crap
Ermac - True
Sub - You can live without Dragon.
Jade - Fan Zi is crap
Raiden - Staff is Crap


Hope that helps.


MKA is different from MKD in so many ways.........

@ Myth: What about 22:30h this evening? Would be nice to face ya so YOU can bite the dust once again, hehe

OMG, bite the dust once again? hahaha, Sorry dude, but those times are over. Last few series we played (the ones with Vile last fridaynight not included ofcourse, cause Vile and I were even switching withing a game, he playing first round, I playing second etc) went out even.
Hehe, I hope Tgrant gave you some good tips on my Tanya, cause she will confuse you once again!!
Nah man, just kidding, I am looking forward to our battles. 22.30h is perfect, since I wont be able to make 20h anyway. I'll be online around 22h.
See you then.

DP

Meh, I will give u a hard time anyway so watch ur back cause there is some big trouble heading towards you rising out of DECEPTION!

Malheur, Delprev, you guys still need to play me.

HJS, just because you may not use all 3 styles with a characetr or because a style isn't as good as the others, doesn't mean everyone else doesn't need to use them.

I myself use Fan Zi with Jade. I use all 3 of Ashrah's styles. ALl 3 of Scorpion's, Kabal's and Bo's just to name a few. Why? Because I can! And Raiden's staff isn't entirely useless. I use that too.

I'll be online shortly.

in MKA ill start with:
Reiko
Liu Kang (my fav, jun Fan will kick ass)
Shang Tsung
Scorpion
Nightwolf
Sonya
Sareena
Tanya
Sektor
Shao Kahn
Motaro
Subby
Stryker
Reptile
Mavado
Mileena

Still doesn't change the fact that in high level play (not that you're not high level) there is no reason to use Fan Zi, Kriss, Moi Fah (not in combos) Sun Bin, Drunken Fist etc.......

Why will I use Fan Zi? (not inculiding chain combos) for d+4? d+3 in Kou Sho is better, for 4? b+1 in Kou Sho is better, this style has nothing......

And besides, I prefer each style to have more moves than styles that have like 15 moves........

Raiden Staff alone has no mids, no reason to use it.

hjs, do you know Dieter Nuhr? =P




in 2-3 weeks maybe. Or maybe not.

Is this in Germen?

What's Dieter Nhur?
