The Orlando Thread: CEO Tourney This Saturday 4-23-2011

lol I can’t remember the last time I bought a strategy guide… maybe FF VII?

That guide is so ballin.

Word RafyToro. Yeah I realized y’all had it shortly after I posted in the atlantic south threads :stuck_out_tongue:

I know y’all have CEO in the same month, but it’d be dope if y’all come show TN some love come MWC.

I know I only told a few of you cause I wanted an MK night tonight at my place but I’m gonna cancel. AC guy doesn’t come til tomorrow and I don’t want everyone to suffer the heat in my house while playing lol. In other news MK online at least on PSN, sucks big donkey balls, I don’t think I’ll enjoy it for very much longer online at least.

@ alex: you think it’s just cuz it’s the first week? I always read the same comments from developers (the online is perfect, the online will be so smooth you cant beleive it …) think it’ll be fixed? still waiting on my copy…

Quoted. For. Truth.

Honestly, probably 20% or less of my games were seamless last night. Irvyn and I played for about 30 minutes, it was like fighting while slowly being chloroformed out of reality. PSN lag FTL. GGs Irvyn! That Kitana is shaping up nicely. Well… Jebailey stole my main of Raiden, and Irvyn has my 2nd fave Kitana lol… back to the drawing board :slight_smile: I’m on about level 75 of the Challenge Tower, it starts getting pretty difficult honestly — which is good. Going to dive into story mode tonight, keep hearing how incredible it is.

This! I tried to play a few matches online late just to see how the King of the Hill mode was like and punishment was a joke, movement sucked ass, and most matches would drop as soon as I got into the King of the Hill lobby watching.

Why can’t someone take what GGPO did into the console realm or get them to make a version for consoles?

Pro tip: You can pause while playing online, even mid-match. So if you want to know your character’s combos, specials, or fatalities, I suggest pausing between rounds, or during an x-ray move. Gives you ample time to get the fatality to humiliate your scrubby online competition. I was playing random select, and this came in pretty handy.

GGS last night Pez. I will reiterate whats already been stated, PSN is shit. We didnt have a single lag free match. I hope they patch it because it’s unbearable. Offline this game is awesome. I love the classic MK feel. I’m still going through characters to see who I like. Kitana will definitely be one of my mains.

I’ve played story mode up to Liu Kang Chapter last night. I am actually impressed with it. The story isn’t a best seller but it is entertaining and makes you use all the characters.

By the way, how do you unlock the other characters? And I wish the Krypt showed me what I was unlocking before I purchase it. I got Noob and Nightwolf 2nd fatality, and a bunch of concept art which I don’t care to see. I like Smoke’s and Cyrax alternate costumes. Do I have to unlock those via the Krypt too?

You guys do know PSN don’t have servers, right? The company of the game runs its own servers for PSN. That means the blame should be on companies going cheap on the servers department. Playstation came up with this crazy idea that online should be open and free. Instead of the consumer paying the bill (XBOX), PSN want the company to pay for it. Just. Like. The. PC.

wow someone who actually knows what the fuck they were talking about, this is refreshing!

seriously, you mother fuckers, i’ve said this a million times psn isn’t making MK laggy netherrealms or you assholes that have shite internet are(two freaking bars sirhonor? really?) is. fucking hell…

/siiiiiiiiiiiiigh

The guys developing Skullgirls are going to be using GGPO!

As for why Mortal Kombat doesn’t, it’s likely a combination of factors, probably involving large, bureaucratic corporate parents and the expectation that they could get “good enough” netcode for their audience by doing it in-house with stock libraries.

And if anyone’s using a server for anything other than matchmaking and maybe “rebroadcasting” a time-delayed spectator signal in a two-player fighting game, they should start writing their netcode over. Well-written peer-to-peer is always going to be so much faster it ain’t even funny.

@Torrin, Ian - thanks for the heads up about the PS3 online/server issue. I had no idea. I’m still a rookie in the Playstation world trying to adapt.


This compilation of “Orlando Sentinel Best Bets of 2011” is complete fucking horse shit.

Best Bets 2011 - OrlandoSentinel.com

Carraba’s is voted the best Italian in Orlando, and Olive Garden is second best… LMFAO.

Oh, and the BEST subs in Orlando? Take a wild guess…

SUBWAY

My fucking ribcage hurts from laughing. Peruse the list if you want a good laugh. I will officially never conscientiously pay for an Orlando Sentinel again, unless the front page REALLY strikes me. Fuck our newspaper… it honestly appears they just threw names into a hat and drew them out for the sake of getting this list out to the public. Read the comments at the bottom of the page— hilarious.

Best Happy Hour in Orlando apparently is Buffalo Wild Wings. #dead

I never said the problem was with PSN itself, I was just saying playing the game over PSN on their servers and the coding in game were a joke. I know I played other games and done fine over it in other genres. I have always assumed if the online is bad that it is the game’s end and not the online service’s end for PSN or Live.

This will help you unlock the costumes and 2nd fatalities Mortal Kombat The Krypt Walkthrough – Guide To Unlocking Fatalities And Alternate Costumes - G4tv.com If you had facebook, you would of gotten the post from G4 right as they posted it ;).

Or if you find the fatality input online and just do it once it’ll unlock in your moves list. So far I’m still waiting on babality codes for all characters. PS Tony Kabal will be my first main. I have a 60% corner combo without X-ray to annoy people lol. Boy did I get some hatemail this morning.

Beat Story Mode to get Quan Chi and Cyber Sub-Zero.

Also quickest way to money is first there are green bugs hidden in the Krypt, if you find em, just hover over them for like 10 seconds and a secret box opens, each one has 5000 coins and there’s 4 hidden chests.

My trick to easy money, Pick Ladder mode, Beginner, Set it to 3 rounds to win(3/5) And just get Flawless victories, each Flawless is 1000 coins. I usually get 9000 for every 5 minutes of ladder matches then just reset and do it over. Just finished unlocking the entire krypt.

Thanks for the good explaination Torrin. Wish it was better online. Hey at least PS3 got an exclusive cause apparently Microsoft wouldn’t allow NRS to create an exclusive for the XBox version.

given that you were the only one to NOT mention psn explicitely i’m pretty sure we weren’t talking about your comments.

@Jebailey - if you’re maining Kabal, you got hate mail for a reason lol
