I didn’t realize how much I sucked at MKII until I downloaded it for PS3 lol. So much different playing against ppl.
if any of you fools want REAL competiton in MK2 for the PS3, come to www.UltimateMK.com
Same for all high level MK players.
GT is to the left of here.
<<<==========
No way.
UMK3 is the most balanced of all the MK’s. Not to mention how broken MKT is. With Noob, Rain, the bosses and the MK1/MK2 characters being so fucking broke ruined the entire game
MKT as a whole was a huge let down. This game should have been the greatest 2-D MK. Instead, it was an epic failure. And with all things consdiered especially with the last ten years of borderline terrible 3-D MK’s, I think Ed Boon and Team MK owe us a Mortal Kombat Trilogy HD Remix (minus bosses).
And for the record, Brutalities are fuckig gay.
I’d bet my balls on a platter nobody here can beat this guys Jax.
Maxium Pwnage with the Multi-Ground Pound, bitches. :wgrin:
dvdcn is why Jax is #1 over Mileena
dvdscn, we haven’t played in forever man. I remember having some damn good games. We used to go back and forth. As for Tim, do you remember playing me? I beat you 3 out of 3 times and you left (not an insult, really just trying to remind you). I wanted you to stick around because I remember seeing you on some MK forums. I’ve been playing a lot of Tekken lately and wouldn’t mind getting in some MK.
Jax isn’t better than Mileena. If you play Mileena right, Jax can’t do shit, just to let you know.
BTW, MK & balance don’t go together, lol.
If I only gave you 3, it was because lag was terrible. But what ever…
Just so you know, Jax IS better than Mileena. If you play Jax right, Mileena has no chance.
And the double, no Multi-Ground Pound >>>> Mileena
Jax is not better than Mileena. It’s a fact. Also, if you talk to the best MK player in the country (DreamTR), he will tell you that even a good Mileena could beat his Jax if played correctly. He will use Liu Kang if that is an issue.
Its a fact? Because you and some self appointed “best” MK player in the country said so?
It’s a fact because he is KNOWN for being the best MKII player. He is strictly the best MKII player, not UMK3. He had a tournament reputation back when MKII was played in tournaments. I will have him speak up for himself. I will PM him.
news to me…
Tim Static: Basic Mileena players will give even the best Jax trouble. It’s that reason alone why Mileena is the best character in the game. If you don’t know this, and are basing character analysis off of online play, you should re-evaluate that immediately.
Online play = not a good judgment of the game as a whole. Not only can you not counter as well online, but you can’t space correctly, or push people away with crouching taps from LP or LK.
Now, as far as Jax beating Mileena, it’s very tough to play against a good Mileena with Jax. What are you going to do? Sit there and duck EVERY Sai that she throws from a half inch off the ground while she is sweeping you at 3 inches away? Timing the ground pound under sais is hard enough, but there are NO GOOD MILEENAS online from what I know.
I used to play PS3 online, but I’m extremely limited with a pad, no button configuration, etc, and to be honest, it just got plain boring. The only time I touch that game is if the MK buddies I have locally want to play, and it’s night and day playing the arcade version compared to this.
As far as UMK3 and MKII goes, I can hold my own in both versus anyone. Not saying I am the best in either version, but I’m definitely no slouch, and my tournament placings in the arcade versions prove that. Especially with MKII.
DreamTR, I will PM you
Tim, let’s play tonight…
Ok. Basic Mileena players will give trouble only to Jaxes that are ignorant to the fact that they can be countered. Not to be cocky by any means, but I could easily destroy basic mileena players with Jax using a dilapidated SIXAXIS. Anyone who thinks that sai spamming alone beats Jax is sorely mistaken. Good Jax players should know that they can be ground pounded under…hell you showed me that dreamTR!.. all you have to do is learn the timing to where it becomes easy and it evens the score dramatically. Although I do admit, facing players that are very good with mileena is a bit of an uphill battle, but it is still perfectly winnable. :tup:
Yes, it is tough sometimes to go up against a good mileena, but mileena is not the be all end all in mk2. If you know and have mastered the multiple ground pound, Jax can MGP under almost any of her sais as long as you’re at the proper distance and have the right timing. Even the ones that can’t be GPed under…duck and wait for an opportunity.
I agree.
Jax is #1.
And dvdcsn has simply the best Jax I have ever played in my entire life.
It like playing with your fingers twisted up in rubber bands.
Edit: FYI, I never played DreamTR before, yet I hope.
Just send me a FR. My schedule is crazy hetic, so I never know exactly when I’ll be online.
But from what I remember, our connection was terrible. Lag Wins, Flawless Victory.
Your very, very good, but lagless play would have been better.
Do you use Wi-Fi? or a wired connection? and where do you live?
Wired, 8 Mb/sec, Kansas City. I usually have a really good connection on MKII. Much better netcode than T5:DR and also isn’t graphic intensive. I’ll send you friend request.
To Tim Static/
You’re right about MK trilogy. Just played it last night for the first time in a long time and you’re right about the balancing issues and other flaws. UMK3 is the best in the series. I used to solely own MK3 on Super Nintendo and arcades.Got UMK3 becuase it came with the special edition of Armegeddon (yes I bought the special edition of Armegeddon).
dvdcsn: I’ll say it again, you have not played a good Mileena then. The jabs and half inch sais right in your face are still too much for him. There has not been ONE good, professional Mileena player online, not even close. You have to see for yourself offline, there is a readon she beats Jax in the game. Mileena is #1, Jax is #2. Tiers have never changed. Don’t let online matches fool you. Duck and wait for an opportunity? Jab punches and sweeps in face. Too much in Mileena’s favor.
Thats good to hear dude, but unfortunately, both the SNES (very buggy, missing frames breaks game, no Sheeva) and the PS2 MK:A SE UMK3 is very buggy with physics problems, etc.
If your really into the game, either get a 360 and DL UMK3 from XBL, or go to www.UltimateMK.com and/or www.darktemplarz.com to find out how to DL the LEGAL roms for Mame and Kaiillera.
