??? you never played offline???

Me, NEST and DAY666 are offline players since a long time!!!

and its why I freak out when its very laggy online!!! damn its a other game!!!!

Now I understand why ppl are good even if we lag...because they are accustomed to this beautiful lag style!!!! ( more glitchs, freeze hits ... delay ..etc)

Of course I prefer offline by far!!! Its the real game!!! but I love fighting other ppl than DAY666 and NEST!! lol

None of my friends want to play me offline at fighting games (sad) or First person shooters.

Kinda gay...this is why i love online....but when people quit...that just tiks me a bit...but when u fight 10 people and they all quit...thats my cue to turn off the ps2 and go play GTA: SA for some major ass whoopin.

Heh, I only have my brother to play with me. If Villain lived closer to me, I'd play him. But he lives like about 45 minutes away. Can't always go out to play him. Same goes for Synik, also add on he doesn't play anymore either. I'm hopin' I can hook up with aMeanMotherFucker from the Xbox side sometime for some games. Would be sweet.

Damnit, Bone, you had to live in Cali, lol. Haul your ass out to the Midwest!

I'm from Ohio! lol, I'm like ..3 hours away from you though, or I think. o.o.

Move to Cleveland, fool!

if for some reason im in cleaveland ill holla at you .


"writes it on the palm pilot"

i wonder how weird that would be if bone moved ALLLLLL the way from Cali to cleveland. he just shows up at our door. that'll be one awkard ass moment

you better like it more, bitch ; )

just kidding azuro, glad you finally see the light.

I can see it! The light! So amazing!

Lol, probably after work me and my brother will record some "crap-tastic" quality matches.

I just can't believe you have had this game all this time, and never fought your brother offline. When my brother in-law was living at my house, we fought more offline than online.

Offline kicks Onlines ass..


Peace....Laser

I used to play MKD offline with my buddy ALL the time. But he lost interest with MKA so no more off line for me.

I need to get another offline player.
Me and Pig play every so often but we are both busy.

I've played offline with my brother, it's just that until now we always considered online to be better. After a bit of looking at MK Kompetitive videos on Youtube, where they play UMK3/MK4/MKDA and stuff, I'm like, "Hey, I wonder how MKA offline feels. As I played, that's when it became clear. I always thought offline was too unsafe. It isn't really, IMO. Now, if only my brother's friends played MKA in a competitive manner...we wouldn't really have to worry about no one to fight.

wow

you, jin, villian, synik and myself all live pretty close to each other. i wonder who else does? im in rochester i think thats like 3 hours away from you guys.

some day maybe for like MK8 if we are into it could maybe get together and play offline. im clearly talking out my ass here, but it would be pretty kool though.



also. this game would be just as annoying offline w/ A/C's working 100% of the time Mavado is a monster w/ his 11,cs and 1,1,3. online its tough to combo after 1,1,3 offline its easy doing 50+% w/ it. Kitana also is helped w/ offline play her fan wave actually becomes deadly being able to counter moves w/ it then the HUGE combos that follow.

^^^^you can interupt both of those with a low poke after the first hit

i think some people forget about combo interupts.

mavado is definitly top tier next to kenshi and mokap though.

one day ill write the real tier list for this game.

well maybe my time is almost at an end here , i actually understand now why dan is stuck on mk2 , sadly im not joinin dan on mk2 . im stuck on umk3 , ive had more fun with the computer and my brother beyond what mka is giving me .


check i hope we get in some matches recorded , if this is it ill give you my best . . . .


ill still be on mka for a bit , but hmmmmmm umk3 Jade and Smoke Own you all ! ! ! lol .

bone, i never play, but do you think thats gonna stop me from playing you whenever you want? we can always play. it doesnt matter when. at least for me. but i guess to each their own.

umk is cool, id definitly get up on that with you if i could. ( your playing it on ur computer? so thru mame? maybe ill pick up another controller, i recommend zsnes for umk, fucking NO LAG, its great )

but yea, how about tommorow sometime, give me a day dude. and for once in my life, i will use my best also, lol.

and sure, ill cap them for ya, no problem.

Aerial cancels are broken in my opinion. But Check is right when he says it balances the game as everyone can do about the same amount of damage.

I don't think combos really matter that much, though. How will you set them up when pop ups are not safe off-line? You cannot just randomly throw out moves and hope that they will somehow connect. Here is why...

Safe pokes and safe moves are key off-line and determine true top tiers. Imagine Drahmin against Noob off-line... what can the Noob player do in this match up except turtling and invisibility? Almost anything blocked will be free 1,1,CS for Drahmin, and the Drahmin player can afford to use random 1,1,CS because that move is safe. Noob does have better combos than Drahmin but it does not matter because he will never land them because there is nothing to punish.

That is how high level play looks like for the majority of matches in MK:A. There is no safe moves. There is no jutsu to take advantage of. First player who gets his move blocked loses as launcher + AC = 50%-60%. Just turtle the rest of the round and let them come to you.

^^^everything to the letter, except mavado with acs.

which is exactly how you should play online also.

however, if your drahmin and i know youre just gonna wait for me to attack, then i will just turtle also and figure out something ; )

and jutsu is in the game somewhat, it only cancels a few startup frames into duck though. you can go right into duck, lets say: after escrima d1. if you try to counter with 11cs, i will already be ducked.

dave, lets do this!! my shitty dsl vs your fiber optic nonsense

Man, no one can rush Drahmin off-line as SSR, 1,1,CS will punish everything. Oh, and moves, such as d+1, are not justu in my opinion. All you have to do is hold Down and it will leave you crouching (as long as you hold it?). That is true, though. It is the only way not to get punish by 1,1,CS.

Drahmin's struggles with turtlers but he still has one of the best throws in the game even though it's punishable when ducked like all throws. Off-line, switch up between Dairou and Drahmin and you'll be unbeatable.

I'll hit you up this weekend. Something's wrong with my AIM I think. I need to fix it.

well my friend just took back his remote since his bro is back from sandiego were the fires are at .


so ill be on mka still i guess , with that shitty as remote that turns off on me lol . . .

bone, i just bought a new controller on monday

and im sure you remember how i buy my controllers ; )

works everytime. ill be getting my 25 bills back in 90 days, returning my broken controller and saying " the dpad is jammed" haha

just fucking do it! theres no greater feeling then a new controller......... ( sorry i had to do something to try and convince ya )

dude just holler at me whenever you want. PM? AIM? mine is sodano49. just holler at me before i have to beat daves ass. haha, jk dave.

later bone, hope everything is cool by you with the fires. and your boy/s too.

haha thanks man , i doubt they would take my remote , i built it off broken parts lol .

SSR?

well as for "jutsu" it goes into duck faster if you do bdb rather then hold down. proof is with duckcanceling. ( standing but actually ducking ) doing duck canceling is the fastest way to duck without doing "jutsu" and it will leave you getting hit, while with "jutsu" it wont.

only certain pokes can go right into duck instantly, only one i know of is shotokan d1

you can also parry cancel on recovery into duck. invis frames.

yes, other then his stupid throw, hes not that great. of course 11cs is good though, however, if i jump back and 1 misses, my jumpkick will get priority over 1cs ( might differ p1 and p2 )

drahmin suffers from lack of tracking mids, and just being able to lowpoke him all day, and training him to block low. if you try to punish them, i will duck, and you will get parried or low poked again. id say b2 in hung gar is his best move because its a rising mid.

dairou is not that good anymore, dave. no free ts off teleport. all his ts drops are easily jumpable except up close. fireball isnt safe. his throw sucks and his only tracking mid comes out slow enough to parry on reaction.

this is alot more fun on aim when we argue.

this weekend, huh? well ill be here, i got the house to myself all weekend, so just holler, ill be here.

damn thats hurtin, lol.

my condolences. i would of quit ages ago on that thing.

np buddy, hit me up sometime
