Re: MK Deception

ALRIGHT MAN WTF! no one wants to play me /versus/images/graemlins/confused.gif I challenge people and just constantly get rejected now. Even people with way more games or higher rank turn me down. Tonight I must have had about 15-20 people just simply quit on me after the first game. Fucking DARRIUS man lmao! god damn I was beating ass with him. I was beating people up so bad they would just quit by the end of the first round /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif hehe I need to find more competent players. Well I am going to give it a nights rest and see if I can rack up some more games tomorrow. I wonder what would happen if I used my main char now. I have only been playing random chars hoping I run into someone good enough for me to pull out nightwolf. But I can't find anyone! Darrius is usually first up at bat, then Liu kang, maybe Raiden, then the man. /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gifNIGHTWOLF! /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif

How are things on the PS2 servers? are people quitting alot?

 

Re: MK Deception

I haven't had anyone quit on me during a match yet. There are a few people who refuse to accept challenges though. WTF are these people doing? Chatting?

 

Re: MK Deception

stop making me want an xbox damnit

 

Re: MK Deception

O.K. I finally ran into someone that was good. You be the judge. I played this guy who uses scorpion. First match he wins, second match I win. The next 4, I lose. For all those matches he did 3 things. +1( X button on xbox controller).. if it's blocked he immediately does +3( A button on xbox controller) Also note that +1 is also consider an over head. So if I tried to crouch at the time it was coming out I eat the move any way. /versus/images/graemlins/frown.gif I wish MK had fuzzy guarding. Now the problem I was having was by him using just those 2 moves. I could not get in. He recovers immediately from the first move and when you block it, it pushes you back slightly. So if you try to attack the second move hits you low before you can advance. Now if the first move hits, by the way I forgot to mention that he is fighting in WEAPON STANCE... now if the first move hits, you pop up for an air combo. From there he switches stance ( something most chars can't do in time for an air juggle from WEAPON STANCE) and does scorpions biggest chain combo which switches through all his stances and returns him BACK to WEAPON STANCE. if it all connects does about 40%... after eating 2-3 of these combos I started to use my breakers... big mistake because now I have nothing to save my ass later in the match. by the end of the first round I would be complete out of breakers. so this guy didn't care if he lost the first round because he knew by using those tactics he could easily win the next 2. So I took my 4-5 loses in a row like a man. I was using Darrius. I switch to night wolf and lose the first match with him. Then it hit me how to get in. lol just dodge the +1! So I started to play more carefully and concentrated more on dodging and attacking or simply throw. After a few seconds I noticed he was the one using breakers because I could get in now. Signs that I had figured him out because he never would use breakers. I beat his ass 2 straight and the fucker quits. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I wonder if I didn't figure him out if he would have stuck around? Anyways I am glad I took those loses, because dodging is something I complete forgot about while playing. I was beating people up so easily I never felt the need to dodge. Also now I should be ready for any other scorpion that trys this tactic. So if you see scorpion fighting in WEAPON STANCE be careful of +1 over head attack... it's way to good with abosolutely NO RECOVERY. Well back to playing online. last I checked I was 191 wins 61 loses!

 

Re: MK Deception

My return to MK is a slow one... reason being because I've no idea how to relate it to previous MK's.

I played MK2 previously and as I picked up the controller I had HP, HK, LP, LK on the brain - yeah I know...

DRE give me another day or so to understand the system and I'll be up and running to get my ass kicked. Right now my issues are with the actually control of the characters - which is to say the transitioning from move to move sucks seeing as I'm trying to do VF style buffering!

Playing the AI in the arcade is proving quite useful since it's a cheesy bitch - lets me see how you can defeat certain tactics.

your record is better than mines. Sure I will add you to my list. I will probably be online tomorrow(SUNDAY) for a little bit maybe we can get some games in. But, NYC has FT now so if the gang calls I might not be there. IF you are on send me an invite just in case I don't get mines out to you. See you soon!

 

Re: MK Deception

Damn, I'm sick of these online cheaters. I just played against someone who had unlimited breakers! I'm guessing he used a gameshark or something.
I still won though. /versus/images/graemlins/wink.gif

That's the main problem playing online. Fuckin' cheaters. In the news section it says they've tracked down on certain cheaters and reset their records to 0 wins, 1000 losses and something like 9999 disconnects. Hopefully that will discourage a few people.

In your opinion, who's the top tier character? I'm sick of these baraka scrubs.

yea cheaters suck that's why I avoid PS2 online gaming. With servers not being monitored, cheaters are free to run around and do as they please. But atleast they tried to do something. A small step but a step in the right direction none the less.

Hands down the best character is <font color="yellow">SCORPION! </font> I take it you have not run into a really good scorpion. I wish you could play on Xbox. It seems like all the really skilled players play that version more according to Mortalkombatonline.com. If you beat any skilled player one to many time. Guaranteed they will run and pick Scorpion. Shit if you have a decent record like mines they pick him right from the start. From my experience it seems like to FULLY control him you have to use him. Not to many characters stand a chance. The problem is most of Scorpions attacks although big are relatively safe. Where as most chars if you use a big move or certain launchers, their is the LOOOOONNNNGGG delay before you can block. I am sure you have used such moves as mention by now. So if you used moves such as those or he gets a perfect evade. You loose 33-40% with barely any effort on his part at all. /versus/images/graemlins/confused.gif /versus/images/graemlins/confused.gif /versus/images/graemlins/confused.gif SUCKS REAL BAD WHEN YOUR ON THE EATING END OF IT!

 

Re: MK Deception

What you said! I haven't glanced at PS2 online since the horrible experience with online cheaters in SOCOM. Even without cheaters, I'm not a big fan of Sony's online "plan," not to mention having to buy network adapter and no hard drive /versus/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Anyways, I too think Scorpion is one of the top. Everyone runs to him when getting owned, thankfully most people don't know how to use him though. Another one I have problems with is Smoke/Noob, I almost always lose to him, hoping I just need more practice against him. Also, lastnight, I got spanked by Dairou. He would keep me at distance and continually do either his fireball or unblockable back slam. If I tried to run or jump in fast he would just hit me with a fireball and if I tried to walk around in 3d inching up it was not fast enough and would hit me with the backslam. Man I was pissed, I need to find out how to break that. I use Ashrah so my fireball only goes 5ft and her torpedo is way too slow and punishable on block, I also get hit by the back slam in torpedo! I need to work on another character I think.

Konjou, what is your tag? (if you haven't sent invite yet)

 

Re: MK Deception

Check this out for some big time combos...
http://www.konqrr.com/vids/Combos/
Shujinko overpowered? Nah. /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I've played a bit on XBOX Live but I'm quickly becoming disenchanted with the game. Once the breakers are gone turtle up...wait for a whiff...do a big combo...repeat. Multiple throws and throw breaks would have greatly appreciated as well. Why not map one throw each to the white and black buttons (since Boon and company's programming skills apparently don't allow for an A+B etc. move)?

Anyway, I might go back online and give it another shot. My gamertag is Killbomb. /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

Re: MK Deception

Yeah I agree with you, the mechanics are weak and a lot of the scrub players/characters can detract quite a bit. But its fun to be able to play a 3d fighter online. I'm not fortunate enough to have time or people to play VF with /versus/images/graemlins/frown.gif So playing this against another human is better than playing against AI in my opinion. I can't wait for DOAU, that is going to be gargantuan leap over MKD if it has smooth online performance.

 

Re: MK Deception

My gamertag is <font color="yellow"> XxRodnutzxX </font> for the 213049739012501239583095903150319 time that I posted it. LOL just kidding man I couldn't resist typing that. Look me up! NYC has VF: FT now so my MKD play is limited. It will pick back up again though. DOAU has gone gold so look for me when that drops also. Be prepared for a Jahn Lee and Bass beat down.

 

Re: MK Deception

Damn....DOAU finally went gold eh? I thought that game was going to join Duke Nukem Forever in the vaporware graveyard. /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

Re: MK Deception

Alright, I'm going to go add you now. Don't worry about MKD, I won't touch that game after DOAU comes out. So my Ayane will be waiting for you next week. Although I will probably not go online til I get a definate 2nd character and completely readjust to DOA, I'm sure MKD really set me back.

same here! I probably won't touch MKD after DOAU comes out. If I do it will just be to play with friends and not random people. Well Puzzle mode for random people. I really like that mode. I won't jump online right away either. I haven't touch a DOA but 1 time in 4 years. Early DOA days on Dreamcast. The one time I did play after was for some tourny in DOA3 about 6 months ago. I tried to cram some Jahn Lee stuff in about 10 minutes. Didn't work to well hahaha. But I beat like 3 people in the tourny faking it /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

Re: MK Deception

Well for anyone here that wants to play my handle is "SLOPPY2D"

as of now my record is a meager 94-62

i have trouble vs barakas/tanyas/ermacs

 

Re: MK Deception

Has the sequel improved on MKA? I felt MKDA was absolute garbage and the stances just seemed cumbersome IMO.

 

Re: MK Deception

The fighting engine is basically the same, with a few tweaks. The stages are alot better though.

 

Re: MK Deception

So much for the "frame dependent fighters won't work online" crowd. Seems their unfounded theories have been KO'd by Mortal Kombat online.

This, and DOA online, must surely pave the way for an online incarnation of Virtua Fighter.
