MK9 | News & Discussion (Updated as news happens!)

http://testyourmight.com/forum/content.php?1738-Incoming-Patch-Notes--Mortal-Kombat-9

Some information here on an upcoming patch.

lol funny how you have to link to another forums to see what people have to say about the incoming patch. It seems there isn’t much discussion on SRK forums about MK games.

If MKvSF did happen, they could just do the same thing Namco and Tekken are doing. Each company makes their own version of the cross over. Seems pretty win/win to me.

And Mk vs. DC was great. A lot better than people give it credit for. But it got caught in the web of shit that is licensing so it ended before it got off the ground.

MK at summer jam was hyper than SSF4 AE and Marvel, not surprised about AE but Marvel usually got hype but it was nothing compared to MK…

Anyone having problems getting the 360 version to use the latest patch when offline and using the DLC characters? A friend of mine has the characters and latestl patch but it’s not letting us use Rain, Kenshi, Skarlet, or Freddy and we’re stuck on version 1.00, noticed this when Kano’s F+3 wasn’t a low. We can use all the DLC costumes but nothing else.

i have a question, who is the person who runs the mk forums? i could like them to delete a thread i made.

PM me

I have a question, and excuse me if this is the wrong place, but everywhere else in the forums this questioned seemed off topic. Anyway, I am having a problem with defending against up close jump ins (or cross ups I guess) , but basically what happens is that I will be defending against my opponents attack string, as their attack ends, and I begin mine they just jump over me and start again on the other side, and it just repeats, even when it seems like the recovery frames from their attack would prevent such a fast reaction.

I primarily use Scorpion, and I figured maybe I just wasn’t using the right anti-air option, like Scorpions fk or bp (which is better suited for up close jumps), but it doesn’t work with him or whoever I choose? Even when I predict spot on that my opponent is going to jump, the crossover jump punch (or whatever it’s called) beats it out almost every time. I know this sounds like a noobish question, but it’s one that’s kicking my ass ; so do you guys think it’s lag? Do I just have shitty execution? Or something else I failed to mention? Help is greatly appreciated :smiley:

Can’t you just uppercut?

Tried that, and it doesn’t work, because it comes out to slow.

I suggest a jump with an immediate punch of kick. Kick works best but for some characters punches leave the opponent in a good position for a punish.

The key here is to jump and mash the crap out of it as soon as you do so your attack hits them before their punch hits you.

Ideally, jump back kick works all the time. In a better situation, straight jump up and punch leaves the opponent in a ground bounce to be punished, and makes them think twice about doing that junk again.

Thanx, I’ll try that :smiley:

I don’t see why we never got more costumes. Was looking forward to Classic Sonya.

Or more characters. Oh well.

Feels like we have enough characters.

4 DLC characters was enough, any more would of felt like a rip off. Considering what was with the game and released over time, I can’t complain about not having more content. Greatness from the start.
