Uh, guys banning Infinites and such is great, but whos going to know who used them anyway? Ultimately, it's going to be one players word against anothers.

Also, when it was said there will be four copies to give away, and that this tournament was only for NTSC players, does that mean that us chumps using PAL versions are going to get a chance to win two of those copies (one for Xbox, one for PS), in a seperate competition or no?
(sorry if that was already mentioned)

Yeah, I was really salivating at the prospect of an Ed Boon autographed MK souvenir until I realized that the tournament is SINGLE ELIMINATION and most humans actually know how to block the bloody spear consistently furious
AND there's only the first 100 spots. So I pass... but not without first wishing the combatants the best of luck. And fight to the bitter end!!!

Konqrr, unfortunately, I didn't really want to post it, especially since everyone on this board will copy it and use it, however, you have dedicated a whole website to showing people how to do sick fucking combos, so heres my tribute.

Heres the catch, it starts with a F+3, but the F+3 that starts the combo ISNT included int he combo.

The timing is tricky as HELL too, you have to be ridiculously fast, but here goes.

Bo Rai Cho
Glitch-Throw Combo #1
Stance: Bojitsu (Weapon)

F+3, Throw. . .(Step Forward), CS, 1, 2, CS, 3, 2, 2 10 hits - 72% Damage


Bo Rai Cho
Glitch-Throw Combo #2
Stance: Bojitsu (Weapon)

F+3, Throw. . .(Step Forward), B+1, . . . CS, 1, 2, CS, 3, 2, 2 11 hits - 70% Damage

And also, if your ever having problems doing it (timing) go online with PS2. Play:
-YAYO-
TOMB-SUX
I-NINJA
SKULZ

All 4 of them do it. (Theyre all friends, and have this as a closely guarded secret.)

I just played them like, 15 times, and then went into practice mode, and replicated it. SOMETIMES, the last 2 hits in EITHER COMBO dont hit, and it only brings it down to a 53% combo. (Which is still pretty damn good.)

So, there you go man. Try to mess with it, and see what you get. I'm POSITIVE that you will come up with a better one, and when you do, I wanna be the first to know, so that I can use this cheese on those Bo' Raping motherfuckers.

Enjoy. :)

P.S. - I would appreciate any sick, off the chart Noob-Smoke shit you can find. Tick-throws, glitch-throw combos, infinates, glitches, high % combos, ANYTHING. Noob is my main guy, so please try to find something, I'm begging you. (konqrr, that is. Anyone else can help too. :) )

konqrr:

Well, I didn't really want to post it on the boards, because everyone here will read it, try it, abuse it, and beat my ass with it online, but screw it, I was going to ask you for a favor anyways. Here we go.

Bo' Rai Cho
Glitch-Throw Combo #1
Stance: Bojitsu (Weapon)
F+3, Throw. . .(Step Forward), CS (Into Sumo) 1, 2, CS, 3, 2, 2 - 10 Hits 72%

Bo' Rai Cho
Glitch-Throw Combo #2
Stance: Bojitsu (Weapon)
F+3, Throw. . .(Step Forward), B+1, CS (Into Sumo) 1, 2, CS, 3, 2, 2 - 11 Hits 70%

-----------------------------NOTES
The F+3 on BOTH combos will NOT count in the combo meter. Thats just to guarantee the throw. however, the rest of the combo can be pulled off flawlessly, as long as you get the throw in.

The timing is wierd as hell. Sometimes it hits completely, and sometimes it doesnt. IF THE LAST 2 HITS DONT HIT, the % goes down to about 51-54% (on each combo). Thats not bad at all, either, man.

Now, here's why I know this.

I've played some sons of bitches on PS2 online that use this combo. There are 4 of them. They have guarded this "secret combo" with their digital lives.

So, what I did, was sacrifice about 15 losses on a bullshit online name, and I played these people. I watched what they did, each time. THEN, I went into practice mode, and tried some stuff out. Guess what? it works.

The timing is difficult though, after the throw, when your walking up to them, you HAVE to be fast, because if you MISS the first hit in the combo, you will lose about 15-20% off the combo.

So, konqrr, try them out, I'm POSITIVE that you will come up with a bunch of BETTER shit that I can use on them, just promise to post them online once you discover them. (High-Level Gameplay Thread please. =-P)

So, there you go, enjoy, experiement, I bet you'll find a bunch of better shit than they did.

---------------------------MY "FAVOR"
Noob-Smoke is my main guy. I know you don't know me from a hole in the wall, but as a small personal favor, could you please try to find out at least 2 combos with them that do very high damage? I have a bunch of them, but there are things that I've 'heard' about .

Heres the 'small request' I have for you. :)

Smoke:
I hear he has a SECOND infinate combo. It involves:
Throw, Smokeycut... WALK UNDER YOUR OPP., Throw, Smokeycut, WALK UNDER, etc, etc.... The problem I'm having with this is the timing. Please try it out for a bit, see if you can find anything. :)

ALSO, when people are Noob, they do D, B+3. Teleport into Smoke, and IMMEDIATELY do a smoke cloud. How the hell do they do that?

Noob:
DanadBab mentioned a glitch-throw that Noob has in the corner. If possible, please find me a glitch-throw combo with him that does a decent amount of damage.

ALSO:
If possible, experiment, see if there are any infinate combos for Noob. :)

ALSO, this is a STUPID little combo with Noob, but I figured that you would like to know. It's UNLISTED. Not in the Brady guide, and not in the MOVES LIST either.

2, 1, 1, CS - 4 hits, Style-Branching Combo.

So, there goes my favor. Please discover some sick shit with noob. I beg of you, oh thee combo god that you are. *lol*

I'd like to enter the tournament however I have a question regarding the rules. Here is something I read that concerned me:

In the event that conflicting results are sent in (for example, both contestants claiming to have won the match), both users will be disqualified.

Does that mean If I beat someone fair and square I'm still in danger of being disqualified if they lie and turn in a victory?

Forgive me if this has been addressed before.

konqrr, try to mix other stuff up, like his other branching combos. Ive noticed that the last 2 hits are only successful if theyre stuck in a corner. However, if you want to see the combo, play any of the people that I have mentioned,

-YAYO-
TAE-BO
TOMB-SUX
FWDXGRAB

They all do it man. Its worth signing onto ps2 online for.

Experiment, because I know they do too, Ive seen them do diff. variations of that combo, so Im sure you can too, man. Let me know what you come up with.

Your relying on the honor system? How many players have you played online that has any honor. Most I've played could care less how they win, just as long as they do.

This sounds like it's going to be a pretty short tournament. Pretty much 70% - 80% of the entries will be eliminated on the first day due to sore losers turning in false reports.

Honor systems don't work in universities, the business world, or politics so I can't imagine how it'll work here. If anything, half of the people signing up will be unfairly disqualified. But, once again, there's no other way. That is unless everyone has the capability to record his matches like danadbab is doing. There is one thing I can think of but it may cause the tournament to run a bit longer. This can work on the PS2, the Xbox is different I think. But on PS2 everyone creates a brand new name so the record will be 0/0. They only play the tournament matches with these names. So after the first match one guy will have 1/0 and the other will have 0/1. The second round of the tournament you'll see 2/0 and 1/1. And so on. This way the numbers won't lie.

I'm not saying I rely on the honour system completly. There are going to be some screw-overs in this tournament but MKO and the mods are limited in some capacities.

I have faced many a a-holes, in fact like an hour ago I faced some jerk who called me "cheap". I won the match fair and square but he's whining that I blocked all of his attacks and that he never uses the block etcetc. It's not my fault Scorpion's spear is so easy to defect. He then proceded to call me a homo and I cannot say what I responded with because it was too heavy and pushed me to far then he disconnected himself.

I usually wish my opponent a good match and congratulate them if they win or lose.

Let's just hope that ppl will play fair for once even tough it's a long shot.

TonytheTiger's idea is awesome and very accurate.

The only problem with your idea, TTT, is that the stat system on PS2 is so damn slow to update...I played 61 matches before my stats went from 0/0 to 50/11...then after that, i played another 30 and they have yet to update.

Xbox Live stats update instantly, however.

Exactly. That's why I said it would probably cause the tournament to run longer. If there is a discrepancy then maybe taking a hiatus from the tourney to wait for the stats would be fair but, yeah, it doesn't fix all problems.

Trust me. Your not missing anything with the X-Box ranking system. Just the other night when I turned on my X-Box my rank was 17,342 (I have a pretty good record to).

I won a like 10 or 15 matches in a row and it brought my rank up to around 721. Then I lost two matches and I was dropped back down to around 13,000. What's that shit about?

But I know we've all heard these complaints before so I wont harp on them. I've fully given up on keeping my stats up online. Now I just play for the fun of it.
