Dude, Kano's choke and shake move is hilarious!

Anyway, PSN name is leroystanks, though I'm currently in the middle of story mode.

MK9 is pretty neat. I'll echo the sentiments on the internet that story mode is well done. It's pretty fast paced, moving you along from one fight to next, but the cutscenes are concise and do a good job transitioning from one scene to the next while telling a continuous story. The story itself isn't anything particularly involved, but it's enough to motivate you to play what is essentially a giant ladder. I've played for 2 hours and got through the events of MK1, so it also has a decent length to it.

Oh, and the game itself is fun too.

So did anyone find out if that Aksys AH3 (360) date was real or not?

No play Mortal Kombat the best fighting game release of this generation. I really think so.

Capcom should be ashamed.

Ashamed.

MK is shockingly competent, but it's still MK. I at least look forward to seeing how broken this game will end up being until it's patched into blandness.

Having a block button in a 2D fighter is still pure anathema to me.

John Mc. · Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2011 6:35 am

I've never been particularly down with button blocking but this new mortal kombat just clicks so well. I do not understand as I have never been an ultimate mk fan.

Just a super one.

They let you use SF-style command motions starting with Deception, why not put in back-blocking and let you toggle it off to the button?

I played this for many, many hours today. Almost ready for some online sparring with SB Bros. My biggest complaint so far is that Shao Kahn is covering up DEM LEGS.

Unskippable cutscenes in a fighting game, good job netherrealm.
Also the netcode is garbage, worse than mvc3 easily.

So there's a preview of the Skullgirls soundtrack up:

That's pretty cool. I wonder who's composing.

Oh. Huh. Neato.

If you want to skip the cutscenes in MK's story mode then you aren't having enough fun.

EMP got dat MK and like it. Also rare footage of Yipes being free.

Goddamn when did MK and WWE All Stars become the new hype. You confusing me fighting game scene.

Well, just RRoDed. Joy. Should have gone with the PS3 version after all.

Judging by the stick thread, it's not too hard for a total electronics amateur to mod the Madcatz SE stick, right?

I may just go ahead and pick up one of those hideous WWE All-Stars sticks and mod it when the buttons inevitably wear down.

It was great. Mike Ross and I were making jokes about how BYB was lame all day. Are you winning? LAME IT OUT. Are you losing? LAME IT OUT HARDER!

After watching a fatalities compilation I can't help but think that there's more than meets the eye already. Some of the other links appear different to the bog standard 2-per-character, and tend to have a dramatic slowdown-still effect that's really fucking ill.

Should be playing this later. Yes.

So did anyone paly the WWE All Stars demo? Because I kinda like it far more than I should.

WWE All Stars is great!

Pijaibros · Joined: 04 Dec 2006 Location: Casino Night Zone

it has the spirit of the Midway version of Wrestlemania. I really dug how fast and ridiculous the game was. Mainly played it on the 32x so long ago.

The speed of all stars makes me think of the GC Ultimate MUSCLE game, which I loved.

BotageL · Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2011 8:09 pm

Brock: Worth mentioning that the WWE All-Stars stick is actually closer to the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Wii stick, which had much better clone parts than the SF4 SEs did. I have no idea how long they'll last you, though.
