The prices are crazy, GosBro, The Prophet, and myself are getting a comp just for gaming. Prophet and I are financing, GosBro is building.

From colguile:
“It’s too late to save mk. Far to late. For us who’s VERY LAST HOPE is a the ARCADE PERFECT port of UMK3…It’s not going to happen. I can almost feel the dissapointment. If I have any hope, it’s that UMK3 will be ported and done right by another team.”
As I have stated (I know to Midway at least, in my two emails…none of which have received a reply yet…and possibly once/twice here) if a console port of UMK3 is in the planning stages I have no confidence in Midway anymore, and no confidence in whatever half-assed team they hand the project off to…bottom line I think they’ll fuck up the translation and leave me (and many others) very pissed off. MKD already sold 1million+…so I bet everyone is happy over there…I honestly don’t think they’ll give a damn if they completely forget about the best MK game ever (UMK3) and continue on with this Shaolin Monks project and whatever the hell else they’re planning/doing.
I have to remind myself to stay firm, but polite when I finally snail-Mail Midway re: my disgust with the company…
Prophet: “Tell Midway you’d work for FREE to test for them and maybe, MAYBE MK fans will have some chance of getting a good MK.”
I just may include that in the snail mail…personally I think all I’ll ever get from them is some company line BS, but IMHO time is running out…as the months go by the chances of an arcade perfect UMK3 grow dimmer and dimmer…
From Tekniqality:
“u shouldnt hate on any of the mk releases and u should appreciate all that they have gave us…”
You have a valid comment here…however when they deliver a game that was obviously playtested in a lackluster fashion (MKD = multiple easy stupid infinites found within week 1 of release…week 1…) IMHO no appreciation is warranted. I guess we’re two of the last remaining people to find MKD to be a somewhat playable, fun game…I enjoy it…not as much as UMK3, not even close…but it’s fun IMHO. (My feelings could change though after NEC5…which brings me to…)
“uh to Prophet : i dunno if i am going to nec5… when is that anyways?”
It’s December 4th in Philly…checkout the Tournaments and Events forum for full info…it would be really cool if you could make it, as I want all the best comp possible…nonetheless if you can please tell your buddies Bill and Sham to show up; we’re gonna need a last place finisher for the tournament and I can think of no worse [Human Smoke] player than Sham to fill that slot.
As for Bill I know he talks junk about me to others online…about how he always beats me blah blah…I want Bill to show up just to mess him up real bad. I never had a problem beating Bill before, and I sure won’t at NEC5…
From BEWD:
“5.Have people like Prophet,EWA,Colguile, actually have some say about what goes into the next MK game,they know MK better than it’s own creators -_-.”
Thanx for the compliment…thinking of the “next” MK game scares me though. Considering more time was prolly spent on stuff like the Puzzle/Chess Kombat (and perhaps Konquest…this all re: MKD) than the actual fighting system I don’t have very high hopes for a MK7. All I want is a console port arcade perfect UMK3…that’s it…I don’t think that’s too much to ask. Unfortunately since the MAT2 versions of MK2 and MK3 weren’t arcade perfect I have no reason to believe a possible MAT3 UMK3 would be so…
Maybe if I pull a Shawshank Redemption and send Midway a snail-mail every week for [several] years we may finally, one day, see the console release of an AP UMK3…I’ll prolly be dead by then anyways… 
It’s funny how this thread has basically nothing to do with MKD except how it sucks (and it does).
All Midway has to do is remove the infinites, (all the step bullshit), the combos after throws (the ones not meant to be comboable), and give us WAKE UP OPTIONS for hells sake. It may be worth playing again.
CAN they patch that shit up?
If they can, then I might play. IF they can patch it up.
If Midway truly cared they would pull an MK Gold an re-release MKD without all the nonsense. (IIRC, back when the DC/MKG were released, those who had already purchased MK Gold had the option to snail-mail the CD to Midway, and then they would send you the fixed version…IIRC also they sent the replacement fairly quickly; not that it mattered too much though, cuz MK Gold was just awful.)
But as I said…they made their money, they sold their 1 million+ copies, and in time it will be a “Greatest Hit” right alongside MKDA…
As far as competitive/tournament play goes Shujinko and all the step infinites should be banned…that is a step in the right direction.
Just out of curiosity, what does the tiering look like for this game? Obviously Shujinko (with the 87% launcher kombo and the step infinite) is God Tier, but what about the others…?
I just got this game, I’m happy about all the o.g. characters, the suicides, satges and story but the gamplay turned me off bring it back to the og days
shujinko is cheap as hell, just like Akuma in super turbo…lmao
A simple step infinite.
Bo:
Puke, Step, Puke, Step.
Need anything else explained?
I think during that stupid fight night chat with Ed Boon and company, they said they had no plans to release a patch for infinites/bugs in the game. I believe they said they “THINK” about it for “FUTURE” games.
3d mk sucks and it should go back to the 2d great that it once was…
fuck 3d! -.-
There are a LOT of people who think MK should go back to 2D.
Here is the 87% Shujinko combo courtesy of Konqrr:

UMK3…NEC5…etc.
I think MK should go back to UMK3.
BTW - UMK3 tournament being held at NEC5…check out the NEC5 thread for more details…
MKD Advanced Tactics:
Wait for an opening, do the highest damage canned string (or custom string) your character can do. If your opponent utilizes breakers early/often, switch it up and do smaller kombos just to mess with their head.
Use fast low pokes to train opponents to block low, and when that is accomplished start using the mid launchers/etc. for big damage kombos.
All that aside…in the eyes of the professional MK community (—> those who think UMK3 is the greatest MK ever, and those who would like to see Midway release a good, not-broken 3D MK game) is MKD completely dead? Comatose? Already buried? Just curious…
Yo this is Sham…man, let me put it to you this way…I dont play that game…you ugly losers play nothing but this game…and I still managed to beat you. Goddamn, Darick won your tourny on about 10 days of casual playing…on shitty ass sticks none the less…believe me, Jersey sucks in UMK…I was pretty dissapointed too, you guys had a fucking video, people w/videos arent supposed to suck. You’re a joke to anyone that actually gives a shit about MK, I am not one of those that cares…but you’re still a fucking joke. You fat hippy bastards, get your haircut, take a shower, and good luck beating someone that doesnt play your game…lol…I know I’d fucking give up Madden forever if someone picked up the game for 10 days, played it half assed…and still beat me. Darick says thanks for the free money and N64, we really enjoy Smash brothers on it…lol…peace bitches.
and MK:D is kinda garbage, BRC owns the game…and his infinite is kinda dumb…shitty game…but puzzle is tight.
-Sham
Sham - I was nothing but polite and respectful to everyone at ECC. Fast foward some days later and you’re on the forums telling EWAShock “Oh yeah your boy Prophet sucks too…”
You placed DEAD LAST in the tournament. DEAD LAST I placed 4th. And I suck? I never said I was God in UMK3…I never said I was going to destroy all. I am only human; I do the best I can do at any given time and whatever happens, happens.
Yeah Derrick won…props to him. So because he bested us once he is automatically better than us absolute for life? Please read up on logic and reason so you don’t continue to sound like a fool. BTW for the record your Human Smoke is the worst I have ever seen in my entire UMK3 career.
So if you want to sit there behind your monitor, with your childish insults (ugly losers…you can’t do any better than that?) Your ability to insult people is about on par with your UMK3 skillz.
I don’t care if you show up at NEC5…AFAIAC you’re nothing in UMK3. And for the record…“Jersey sucks in UMK3”…I don’t give a damn what you think or say about anything.
…and if you do have the balls to show up at NEC5, and play UMK3, well…we need someone to place dead last in this tournament too. I can think of no worse a player than you to fill that slot.
Go crawl back into the hole where you came from.
Brc Does own all. Is there a character that can actually beat brc? Is there a anti brc in this game?
Don’t forget when Sham started complaining after losing 3 straight against me Smoke vs Smoke, because of course he was the only person affected by the bad sticks. I think there was one match he won, and that was before his tourny match and I actually let him him win it because I wasn’t going to be playing again after that match anyway, yeah I didn’t want to have to bring that up, but I do sometimes feel sorry for people when I’m playing them. If you want to play against H vs H if you happen to show up at NEC5, I’ll be more than willing to take you down, and Darick too. I think I made it clear my skills on stick are nothing compared to keyboard and if anyone has a problem with that then that is admitting they need a physical advantage to win, because they don’t care if the other person is playing at 100%, just like Bill complains about not being on official Midway sticks, that won’t make him anymore successful at losing with top tier characters vs random select as he does on a pad.
Edit: I placed 3rd (compared to Sham’s dead last, making the average place for NJ 3.5th, and the average place for Virginia 6th) in the tournament cause Julian got super lucky, had I beaten him, H Smoke would have beaten Darick because even Darick admitted he was too much for him. :encore:
Matt
What made Midway think I wanted to waste time unlocking photos of the tech support girl or unlock a video of the MK logo spinning in space for 5 minutes. And no, I don’t want to spend my time trying to unlock a scan of the box that their 3DSMAX cd’s came in. Keep the extras related the game please. Extra costumes, Extra fightes, extra stages…that’s plenty good. If they would have cleare out all the crap they could have added every fighter in the MK universe.
Placing 4th or 3rd or whatever in a tourney with 7 people (or whatever) isn’t saying much…
I’d kill myself if someone played a game I played non stop for 10 years and they have played for 10 days.
Darick is the next peoples champ.
Esp. if Justin moves in.
Then it’s a wrap.
:tup:
There was actually 14 people originally, and I think it went down to 13 or 12 cause someone didn’t play, still like you said, nothing special, but regardless, the overall best player out of everyone there, in terms of total wins throughout the whole day of casual and tourny games was ME, Shock, Matt, Sinala, whatever you want to call me, infact I have a 14 and 10 win streak on the machine :tup: , meanwhile Lex has like a 37, 29 etc, from the year before. And no one mentions the fact that Julian beat Darick when they were using Sub and Reptile (their personal best characters), but then Julian, for like 3 or 4 matches, went with SEKTOR and that was vs KABAL. Completely unrealistic lopsidedness and he still almost won. Darick learned Reptile, but that was it as far as I saw. I have taught people single characters in one night who could then use the skills beat a good percentage people. Also, do not forget the stick situation, honestly Darick didn’t seem to have much trouble with them, however he plays a lot of different fighting games and his overall experience comes into play here when it comes to stick quality. I would say I was playing at maybe 10-15% of my total ability, and I still beat every person there multiple times, including sweeping the “So-called Prophet” in our tourny match. :devil:
Just some FYI for everyone, I really am disappointed by that whole situation, just clarifying…
Oh yeah Sham’s Human Smoke sucks. :tdown:
