Mortal Kombat Series

[Mel]

I just recieved

MK, MK2, MK3, UMK3.

=) Its going to be a great weekend =)

Missing MK reviews should come shortly =)

[16bitter]

I can't believe that MKII has no low punch on Genesis. It might be a Nomad glitch, but I'm too lazy too hook up my Genesis to find out.

Before you start playing go to the options menu, change your controller to the 6-button. =)

[16bitter]

Actually, I did that. 6-buttons all being used...except there's still no low punch when you crouch. WTF?

[danielscheil]

the german pal version has a low punch when you pull a and b button together at the same time you cah also switch to the six button controller and you have a single button for low punch.

the 32x version of mt 2 is the bet better than the saturn version !

very nice is the mortal kombat intro on the mega cd i love it !

Note ; in german the mortal kombat 1 is cut !
you have no fatalitys so
kano dont pull a heart out ;he takes an apple from his opponent :-)

[StRiDA CoL]

MK 3 and MK 2 are some of the best fighting games for the Genesis
and any console for that matter

I'M A HUGE MK FAN WHAD DO YA EXPECT

Strange how the censorship review board deemed the pilfering of secret apples from an opponent's rib cage hideaway any less morally twisted than ripping the heart from their chest.


I was wondering, what are the primary differences between Mortal Kombat III and Ultimate Mortal Kombat III? Anything major beside the new/replaced characters?

[StRiDA CoL]

Thers really nothing different between the games MK 3 and UMK 3
its just mostly all the characters are palette swaps which is real lazy
but hey Scorpion is in it si who cares

New menu's, and looks like some of the levels may have been changed.

[StRiDA CoL]

Yeah but the stages are ok

[GeckoYamori]

I don't like MK1-3, I found the controls pretty bad and the matches were usually determined by who knew the most cheap special moves.

I've been playing quite a bit of MKII lately, both for SNES and Genesis, and overall I actually prefer the SNES pad for the game. Using the shoulder buttons for blocking feels far more natural to me, and the cross d-pad makes a number of fatalities easier to pull off due to the need for accurate direction taps.

..Mind you, the 6-button Genesis pad still absolutely rocks for SFII. Street Fighter II Turbo is awesome and all, but shit, those shoulder buttons really hurt the experience.

I've always believed that the SNES had the better controller for MK. It's damned obvious. Yet mags like GF used to act as if it was the SNES pad that "took some getting used to". Bullshit.

The SNES version of MKII kicks the shit out of the Genny version.

[daminmancejin2]

i like UMK3 better.

[StRiDA CoL]

the only reason i like UMK3 is because Scorpion and Reptile are in it. Plus Sub-Zero is masked, he's always looked cool :cool:

What do you mean, lack of a low punch?

I quote the manual:

3 BUTTON CONTROLLER:
TO PUNCH (LOW): Press the A BUTTON
TO PUNCH (HIGH): Press Forward or Back + A
(snip)
6 BUTTON CONTROLLER:
TO PUNCH (LOW): Press the A BUTTON
TO PUNCH (HIGH) Press the X BUTTON

[Drixxel]

I believe what 'lack of low punch' refers to is the lack of a crouching punch. Uppercuts are all you get with Genesis MKII, even with a six-button pad. It makes sense if the controls are set on the 3-button default, what with there being only one button for punch and thus the only way to achieve uppercut mayhem would be to eliminate the crouching punch. Unfortunately, even when set on six-button mode, crouching and punching with either of the punch buttons equals uppercut. Whoopsie.

Mortal Kombat I

Best with a 6-button joypad.

Still fun to play with a 3-button joypad.

Johnny Cage's ballbreaker move rocks.
