And an interesting note, even though Rain isn't in this game, he is in the little video you see when choosing in the menu.

It's from the intro. He's in twice, either doing a combo to Kahn or falling down.

There's also a kode to get a message about him.
 
Being one of two XBLA games I'm still interested in buying once I get a 360 (sorry Lumines), I have to know is this a complete game this time, or does it... you know...
 
I'm finally getting some games in, and suprise suprise, droppers don't get punished. Why is it so hard to not let droppers get away with it?

I got my 10 wins (you have to play another round after your 10th win to get it), it says I was awarded a gamer picture, ooh lets check it out.

EDIT - and I can't find it. Oh wait there it is, a tiny MK symbol. Well it was free. I wonder what you get for the 100 wins achieevment, which I don't think I'm going to try for.

Is there anyway to choose Human Smoke in a versus game? The code just isnt working :(

PLAY AS HUMAN SMOKE
Select Cyber Ninja Smoke, then before any round begins,
press and hold the buttons until Human Smoke appears.

Player 1: hold Left+HP+HK+BL+RN
Player 2: hold Right+HP+HK+BL+RN

Worked for me just now.

EDIT - in single player, I dunno about versus.

Yeah, apparently I was the challenger. The Player 2 code worked just fine. :)
 
How does the ranking work? The current #3 is 0-4... >_<

EDIT: I mean the player match rankings, not the ranked match rankings.

ugh they should have ported Trilogy that was the best of the 3-Uk3 series.
More characters but it had some really easy infinites. I think one of them was to throw in the corner with Sheeva, which makes them bounce, and then d.hk d.hk d.hk d.hk d.hk d.hk d.hk d.hk d.hk d.hk d.hk d.hk until they're dead.

Alright, thanks to Kingpen and Faceless Master, here's the correct sequence for the UKKs:

For Mileena (2-2-2-6-4-2-2-2-6-4), on both controllers, hit:
X four times
A two times
Y two times
B six times
Right trigger two times

For Ermac (1-2-3-4-4-4-4-3-2-1)...
Controller 1:
X four times
A two times
Y one time
B four times
Right trigger three times

Controller 2:
X one time
A four times
Y four times
B two times
Right trigger three times

For original Sub-Zero (8-1-8-3-5-8-1-8-3-5), on both controllers, hit:
X five times
A one time
Y eight times
B three times
Right trigger eight times

And remember, after entering the codes, you MUST quit through the main menu's "Return To Arcade" - if you go the quick way (via the gamer panel), they won't save. Thanks to Cravis for pointing that out.
 
Wow I can't believe I owned this game and never realized what a broken piece of crap it was. That MK Trilogy video is unbelievable. How can you sell a fighting game that is that messed up?
 
i dont think 90% of those moves make the game "broken". the "get the other player to the side and juggle" is pretty ****ed but those combos and general juggles are awesome
 
Mortal Kombat gained popularity because it's fun to play and awesome to watch, not because it ever achieves a strategic level of balanced play.
 
if you have the skills to pull those combos off in an actual competitive match you have some talent. but yes the combo system is broken (uppercut does the same amount of dmg as a 6 hit combo!)

actually they admit in some of the videos that the game is sped up or slowed down. but the engine is capable of doing those kinds of moves


whatever that means
 
its all quickly coming back to me...

I'm looking for FL adds... If you want some matches add me :)


if you're only planning to play for 1 week then quit, then dont bother... I don't need you cluttering up my flist
:lol
 
Damn, I was in some kind of gaming zen last night playing online with Kung Lao, I racked up almost 50 wins, had a go this morning and i have lost about 20 in a row :lol

Its always strange when you finally run into someone who knows what they're doing. I have 5 losses, one when I accidentally picked Sub Zero, and the other 4 were against this guy I kept facing with a mean ass Sonya.

**** - Millenna, SubZero and Ermec are gone AGAIN! I left the natural way and they were still there when I left and came back to the game. Now the next day they're gone again.

Same thing here... REALLY ****ING STUPID. They need to issue a patch for this game so it doesn't happen I don't want to be putting in that code all the damn time
 
Got this game yesterday and I tell no lie...apart from an hour stint on the new Tony Hawk's demo, its all I’ve played this weekend. :D This is another release which would only appeal to the fans and the people who grew up during the heyday of the Mortal Kombat series. It’s a great addition to the XBLA library, Mortal Kombat was one of the games that could be considered to be the sound of the arcades back in the early 90's. Loading it up for the first time, I had a massive grin on my face. :D

Mortal Kombat 2 and 4 was probably my most played of the MK games, but Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 in my opinion had the edge over 2 in that it was much faster and there is a bigger scope to do "Kombos" with new system and the run feature. It is also easily one of the most daftest MK games to ever be released, with some fantastically daft Fatalities and characters such as Nightwolf and Stryker...who never looked cool back in the 90's and they still don’t now. :lol

There were a few cast members I miss from MK2 such as Baraka, Raiden and Johnny Cage and most notably Scorpion in MK3, and everyone had to make do with Robot Ninja Cyrax with his similar net grab move, but it wasn’t the same. :( They added him back in this version though. :) Heh, I can just imagine the meeting they had making MK3

<Tobias>Right...we have run out of colours for making clone ninjas, we need a new angle. But what the hell could be cooler than ninjas?! :(
<Boon> ...ROBOTS!
<Tobias> YES
<Boon> Wait wait WAIT!...Stay with me now...NINJA...ROBOTS!
<Tobias> IN MY MOUTH PLEASE...THRICE.

The whole game just looks even more hilarious now, and it’s just so nostalgic. I can remember this game and MK1 and 2 so vividly during my school days. ^_^ the VS screens, the Fatality jingle, the character select, the music, the sound effects, TOASTY, the Kombat Kodes, the Stage Fatalities....ahhhh. ^_^

I've been playing it with no lag or problems against people on my friends list and LakeEarth last night, it’s been such a great laugh. :D Great games dude. o/

Scared myself how I can still remember a few fatalities, Kombos and other stuff after all this time with certain characters, and then **** all with another. XD Best part of Mortal Kombat that is still alive with XBL is like in the good old days, BEFORE the internet (!) is how the game still maintains the panic of trying to enter a hastily remembered Fatality and the sheer disappointment everyone feels when the mess up. Loads of "ARGGHHH", "Awwwww", "SHIT", "...er...er...ER...**** nooo!" and "ioldnfldsnflkdsn *sigh*" ^_^

I remember sitting with my mates at home, all scrambling for the copy of Nintendo Magazine System\Super Play\Games Master guides with all the moves and fatalities in them, and most of the time everyone always used to mess up. Reciting the Fatality combination throughout the match, and when you get the chance to do it...your brain freezes XD. GOOD TIMES. ^_^

Dunno if its been posted already, but heres the SUPREME DEMONSTRATION of every Fatality, Bababilty, Friendship and the mostly ASS Animalalities in UMK3. :lol: God...most of these are SOOOO BAD. :lol:

:lol: @ Sindel's Friendship.

*Sindell kicks a ball..."THAT WAS FUN!"

It seems Smoke is the favourite for people to get quick wins with, but most of the time not everyone knows what they are doing and carelessly spam the teleport punch and hope it connects to carry on with the spear grab. Still a bit too lethal though.

Shao Khan is beyond a joke in this too. Full invunerability during his moves and priority and range which isnt even funny...Klassic. ^_^
 
God i hate Shao Kahn .. been playing him for over an hour, and just can't seem to get the second win :( Ducking below his projectile, uppercutting him, spear -> uppercut etc works fine in first round, but second round i just get my ass kicked.. please tell me he changes tactics/levels up in 2nd round it can't be just bad luck right? right? damn, wish i played MK3 in arcades instead of SF, cause shao kahn makes me feel really pathetic !

Jax's fatalities were ****ing stupid :lol

He grows 50 feet? WTF! He turns his arms into blades? Huh!
Not as bad as Lui Kangs. Magically disappear and an MK cabinet comes crashing down :lol
 
Ikse said:
We laugh now, but we'd of taken them in MK Armageddon :(
Very true. I hated how fatalities got "silly" in MK3, and I was so happy about how BRUTAL MK Deception was. They had to **** up for Armageddon :(

It just seems how it goes MK2 brutal, MK3 silly, MK4 back to brutal, MK5 fricken afterthoughts, MK6 brutal again, MK7 laziness.
