could never
I feel you on that. I had around 85 wins 110 losses, I'm now up to 106 ish 111 I think. I takes time to find a character that gels well with you.

Are there any gameplay vids of Jason in action? I haven't been able to find any on YouTube, or maybe I just suck at searching.
No media for him yet.

Well I'm an idiot, I thought all the Kombat Pack characters were dropping at the same time. At least Jason is first.
I'm planning to buy a Windows 8 key later today (unless someone has one spare
) and start fresh, I spoke with an Nvidia rep and he told me they have one crash bug report on file and it's Windows 7 specific. At this point I'll try anything.

Ah, okay. Thanks.
Keep fighting the good fight brother! I'm hoping to get positive today when I get home. Hopefully land some combos this time as well! The input lag kills me though.
That's the biggest thing throwing off my timing. It's bizarre to go into practice mode and flawlessly pull off 10+ hit combos with ease, but then go online and all the timing is thrown off.
Nothing makes me feel like more of an idiot than punching in the right buttons and having my character stand there, then do something else entirely because of the input lag.
Maybe I just need to find a character that relies less on timely precision.
Considering I paid 30 goddamn dollars for it I plan on playing them all.
The secret answer is Carl Weathers Jax.
If one of his taints isn't "You got a stew going!" I'm gonna rage.
Same here. I spent an hour in training mode until I managed to get a modest 25% combo down flawess, as in I can hit it every single time. In online mode though, I haven't hit it even once.

Did you claim your rewards in the app on your iPhone/iPad? Check your profile, then tap the console unlock rewards from there. WB Play servers can be crappy at times, but next to the tick marks on the console unlock section of the rewards, there is a "Claim" word that you can tap to claim the unlocked skins.
Then sign in back into your console WB Play login, and you should sync up your Mobile rewards to your console.
How did you unlock Klassic Kitana? If it has something to do with online thing (win X number of matches online, in any online mode, etc), I'm shit out of luck.
Just had the strangest King of the Hill match.
Guy (or gal) who was king had a 35 win streak so I expected to get beat but upon starting the match every time I hit circle I was met with a menu that asked if I wanted to quit while the game was still going on.
Needless to say this put me off and I duly got my ass handed to me. Anyone else experienced this?

Wut? Are you on pc? The kombat pack was 12 bucks on cdkeys.
Edit: they also carry psn and live download codes for some games.

Yeah,OK. That makes sense. Awesome. Trying to get out of some of the bad habits I have. I think I'm on the precipice of getting pretty decent at this as soon as I train myself not to make some of the dumb mistakes that keep costing me.
I've read that you have to get to level 40 on the mobile app. That's not really something I'd I want to waste time doing. :|

This is what my Mobile to Console unlock screen looks like:
I don't see any way to claim Johnny Cage. When I unlocked Farmer Jax and Klassic Kitana, it just had a check mark next to them.
To unlock Kitana, you have to level a character card to 40.
Also, my Console to Mobile unlock has zero check marks even though I have completed several of the tasks on PC. So I dunno, it just seems bugged.

Bought this game yesterday and I've become greatly discouraged over the past couple of hours. I can barely pull off combos as is and I see these people on youtube do these long ass strings. All I can think to myself is that shit isn't ever happening for me in an online match or any match for that matter. I don't know what it is but it feels like im either too fast or too slow during combo inputs. They just keep dropping. Been practicing all day with Kung Lao and it doesn't feel like im getting any better :/
I think the fist of fury comboo might be bugged or something as well. Basically the only way I can get it to come out is by placing both thumbs on the right side of the pad and mashing square and triangle.
I hope it gets better, but right now I kind of regret buying this.

I'm was around #13 on king of the hill yesterday, now I'm 116
You have to input his fist of fury combo really fast for it to come out or else youll just get some random jab. It confused me too, at first.
I wouldnt recommend Kung Lao for a beginner, unless you're ok with hitting your head against the wall for a few hours/days to learn his combos. They're not easy.
If you want a character with simple combos pick brawler Cassie or Jax.
wow thats a significant change

Have you tried logging out and logging back in while in MKX on your PC? Same thing happened to me because I wasn't getting rewards on mobile for things I did on the console version. That and not getting Future Raiden for logging in period.
By the way, there seems to be a glitch right now in the rewards screen on the mobile game. If you've smashed five objects in Test Your Might on the console version, you can keep claiming the reward on mobile. Eventually you will max out the card you get as a reward but then you can sell the additional cards for 1,200G each infinitely.
How far do you have to get for Farmer Jax? I haven't really checked too much but it said something about a third bracket, I think. I've completed four or five of the towers in Battle Mode.
Edit: Nevermind, just looked at it. I'm assuming the dividing lines on the map make up the brackets.
Damn right they did. White Lotus represent! >

Fuck I forget if I did anything that contributed to the faction stuff last week, I didn't get much chance to play D:
Well we're shaolin monks so then that'd be praying gestures I guess?

I might give that a go then. I have a good internet connection and the few online matches that aren't shit I get completely worked by someone with like 400/500 wins and maybe 20-60 loss. The struggle is real :/

I just ex punch walk through it
Haha, I was actually trying that out online couple of days ago just to see how far I can get with just that comboed into tarkatan blade. Not many people knew how to defend against it.
Yeah, that is her biggest problem. Unfortunately it just takes a lot of work memorizing who has what types of wake ups and X-Rays and you just have to respect their wake up space a bit more. Have to know if to block high or low. For characters with good wake ups (Kung Lao!) or those with good armor wakeups I tend to hover 2-3 character spaces outside normal. Her DF+3 combo only works up close so its effectiveness is minimized. However ->+3,3,3 works from pretty far away. Also brawler tackle works from pretty far away.

I'm in the same boat (I started with Jax).
- The matchmaking is either terrible or there are literally no other players as new as me. It always matches me against guys that basically destroy me.
- I fought a person playing Kitana and I was just blown away by the fact that I basically couldn't do a thing. She was hitting me so fast / often it was just embarrassing lol
- question for anyone reading: what is the correct course of action if you are hit with several hits in a row. Is there anything you can do? To me that's an odd part of the game design (being unable to block a string of several hits). I get that it's part of the game, but it seems like you should have a defense of some sort. If it's breakers...I guess I suck at those too
So anyway - love the game, beautiful presentation and stuff, but not very happy with matchmaking. Also just seems to take a long time overall to find matches or join online even with fast internet.
I think we can get away with a general jazz hands thing.

could never
It is.
Gl to you! if you're on PS4 my psn is Assassio. Should you wish some friendlies (EU) so I hit positive just now, + 2 lol. Sub Zero is now my guy, freezing people constantly. I feel all dirty.
Unbreakable's frost shield is surprisingly useful!
Asking again. Would like to test to see if I can login with one ID, save, then log out and log back in with my own ID and keep the unlocked rewards.

Brother from another mother. I think that for me is one of the worst parts about this learning curve I'm going through right now. It's like im bouncing around from one extreme to the next with no bell curve in terms of difficulty. I know other people have said go to the single player, but the matches there don't really happen as organically (hate even using that word) as they would online. I don't think I've been spanked this hard in other fighting games outside of SxT in a long time, and I'm no spring chicken to fighting games.
It's just frustrating to see an opening and not be able to punish because of either general lag, input lag or combos dropping. And then I get hit by some long string for 35% of my health and my thoughts can be summed up thusly:
the MM is really bad, it seems just to be random - there are plenty of new players online just aren't often matched against each other, and are more often lambs to the slaughter
Case and point, i double Flawless'd 1 guy, only to get matched against him again the following match(ranked), it really is that bad.

I think I successfully duped my WBPlay account with Farmer Jax and Klassic Kitana Unlocked.
If a couple people want to DM me, I will give them the login/password and we can test it before making it public (I want to make sure it doesn't affect my real account).
Edit: The dupe didn't work like I thought it did. Associating your account with one email disassociates it with the original email (instead of making a copy associated to each email).
Sorry folks

I don't know that I'd make it public... guy on Gamefaqs did that then he logged into his e-mail with like 30 e-mails on attempted password changes.
Also, Fighting Commander 4 ordered from Play-Asia! Can't wait.

What in the FUCK determines who you fight in ranked? Because for some reason I keep getting matched with killers that have hundreds of fucking wins. This shit is stupid. Right out the gate, first ranked match I ever played, dude had like 200 wins, and it just continued like that. I couldn't do a fucking thing against anyone.
