I wish some of the 3D MK players would come over to ultimatemk and help out.
UMK3>all other mk’s.
I started playing UMK3 a short time ago, upon discovering a few friends liked the game and were willing to do some matches.
It’s actually pretty fun! Kabal really is beastly though…
Anyway I read online that there air throws in this game. Does everyone have them, or just a couple characters?
Just certain characters, use Block in the air for most of them. Cyrax’s air throw is a special move though.
We have a UMK3 cabinet in one of our break rooms, I love that game.
The combo system was fun back when it first came out, and I think its even more fun now that people have figured out ways to break it and really do crazy stuff with characters.
When I finally break down and buy a 360, I want to make MK3 a stick for it.
Scorpion, Human Smoke, Robo Smoke, Kano, Jax have regular air throws. Cyrax has a command throw. When your opponent is in the air and rax is on the ground, d,f,block launches you at them tracking a bit, then LP grabs them when you get close.
Count me in. I’d rather watch UMK3 on a big screen that Ass Brothers Brawl.
hmmm…the hate is strong in this one…
So i just got this for xbox live.
IT’s actually pretty fun.
Currently learning Ermac.
Repped.
I want an excuse to get back into it. I tend to be a narrow specialist, though, and UMK3 isn’t the kind of game that you can win at by only playing as one character, or so I’m told.
if anybody wants to play hit me up. I play a lot and can probably teach a few combos and strats and whatnot. Ive surprisingly been playing more since sfiv came out for some reason.
Talk about thread necromancy! 
I’ll cop to it, I LOVED MK back in the day. I remember a class trip where I racked up about 50 wins in the 6 or so hours we were at the skating rink. I kinda stopped playing after MK3 but picked it back up around the time Deception came out. THat was a pretty fun game for awhile.
Fuck Kabal. If I play that game, I will learn Sonya back to front and not play anyone else.
MK = game for dicks
Easy infinites = opponent sits for a minute watching you beat up his soon to be lifeless corpse. No interaction. I mean…that Kobra infinite was one move over and over.
Fatalities = extending time before next round. = being a dick and preventing your opponent from being able to play or control anything for even longer. Ever notice how alot of games let you press start to skip the winning poses and replays? Fatalities are the opposite, people wanna play not be denied a chance to play. Custom fatalities are worse because you get to completely interact with the game, opponent has to wait even longer than a normal fatality. They are like sticking a one player puzzle game between each round? How awesome would Street Fighter be if the winner got to play teris by himself between each round?
Fatalities are all fun once things. Sure you got a kick outa 2girls one cup first time you saw it, sure you got a kick first time any friends see it…but would you want to surf the internet if you had to watch it before each website you load? Fatalities are like Rickrolling.
MK2 was fair and if I have nothing better to do and i see one I may drop a quarter in for shits…but wouldn’t play against a person because it’s retarded. UMK3 and MKT are both really fun though.
But fuck…do they even playtest the 3D ones? And isn’t live actors part of what the major selling point of MK was anyways? Make a HD live actor sprite based MK for fucks sake!!! MK is about three things ; Humorously Overabundant gore, Live actors, millions of ninja. The 3D ones removed the actors and the Ninjas generally aren’t even Ninjas anymore for the most part. 3D MK games are like 1.5/3 of what MK represents with no platesting to maintain any real versus play.
Remake a balanced Trilogy. Same game, slight balance fixes, PS1 and N64 games combined, all new actor based sprites. Bang!!! Shit will likely outsell HDR as DLC (not be a better game, just outsell)
The 3D MK’s are shit, and while MKvDC was fun for a short time, its problems (glitches, bugs, etc) made it unplayable.
The only MK’s I have any desire to play are UMK3, MK2, MK1 (nostalgia) and Shaolin Monks. Trilogy is fun, but is WAY too broken and just pisses me off. MK4 was the most un-MK MK before the 3d games made MK4 look great.
^ Was wondering when you were going to show up. Its not a MK thread without Tim Static…:china:
A few casual players brought MK vs DC to my college during our FG sessions to the Television next to us, and I was thinking of trying it out, or at least offering to record the matches the other guys had with it, but from what TS says about it, I’ll probably leave it alone…
Try it. I mean, the game LOOKS great, and The Flash and Green Lantern are fun to play, as most of the DC cast is, but on a high level, the game is retarded. Ban this, this isnt allowed, blah blah blah.
Wonder Woman was fun as shit for me in that game, as were Sonya, Batman, Captain Marvel, and Catwoman.
