    General/Other Skarlet is BLOODY BLOODY HOT!

    There is a new MKast video featuring Skarlet: .

    EX slow forceball glitch?

    I had this happen to me last night; I had no idea what happened. (But I still landed a 32 ffb 321 slide while the person was in the air. If I was him--or her--I'd have been pissed.)

    UMK3 is Americas game.

    Does this mean that MK2 is Canada's game?

    MK DLC Wishlist

    At this point, I am pretty happy with the roster. I grew up in the MK1-3 era, so those are the characters I like and am passionate about. The rest are mostly... Not interesting to me. Costumes and stage fatalities are the big ones for me.

    xray changed?

    Haven't had any issues with projectiles.

    Anti-Air Forceball...Neutral jump

    I was experimenting with F3,2+1 a while ago, but could never do it consistently enough for it to seem practical. Is it easier with the PDP stick? Pressing 2+1 on a PS3 or XBox controller is awkward as Hell.

    Tips for Online play for offline players?

    It's not perfect, but the last patch actually helped a LOT. (I still drop around 60% of my combos, though, but it's not horrible. The better player almost always wins; and online is really helpful for learning the meta-game; i.e., there's more to the game than combos, and this isn't lost in...

    Reptile Question

    I like that Kung Lao's spin was given a few more recovery frames, but generally I agree with you. (But that being said, Lao's spin has nothing on Raiden's superman in terms of being annoying as Hell.) CptXecution: if you're just practicing punishing, you should be able to do it without...

    EX-slide kick whiff?!

    Yeah, this is an issue that happens in the corner. I don't use the EX slide very often (in combos it only adds about 1%,) but try to avoid it near the corners.

    TYM Photo Thread

    Nice Canadian winter shot. (One of only two pictures of myself I've ever actually liked.) I don't like this one very much, but it is from a hiking trip from June 2nd. Seriously.

    MK9 most epic rage quit ever!

    Man, I lost my crap watching this! It seems like Kahn is set to a fairly low difficulty as well. Hahaha.

    Suggestions on new alt costumes!

    The alternate that sounds most appealing to me would be a cyborg Smoke costume. I think that'd be pretty bad ass. Also, for Sonya: something that makes her look like she's actually a special forces operative. Given her character--backstory, etc.--she probably has the worst costumes in the game...

    Vs. Turtles

    The player was definitely not good. It's the only time I've ever actually been mad following a loss (I'm pretty casual, and I know it.) I just have no experience at chasing people down when they want to run the last 70 seconds of the match down by blocking and evading. Thanks for the response...

    Vs. Turtles

    I was wondering if anyone had any strategies for dealing with turtles when playing as Reptile. I got caught playing a pretty awful Scorpion turtle this evening, and it seemed like a pretty bad match up for Reptile. (It was frustrating because Scorpion matches tend to work in my favour.) My...

    CHOMP CHOMP HISS! - The Reptile Matchup Thread

    Thanks for the matchup info, everyone. I don't get to play any in-person matches, and online is basically a special frenzy because of lag. Like several of you, I only play Reptile as well.

    Reptile 5/20/11 Patch Changes

    Of all the characters in the game, I can't see how Reptile was a priority. :(

    Confess Your Dirty MK2011 Secrets

    - For some weird reason, I can never beat Jade. As a result, I always practice against her; it gives me the satisfaction of beating her up pretty bad. - From January to April I was teaching an Introduction to Academic Writing and an Intro Logic course at a university. One of my class...

    Reptile users: Friendlies?

    Can't wait until we can redeem Kombat Kodes. My 2 day pass expired, but I'll be somewhat available for PSN matches when I can play again.

    Trouble against Mileena

    I normally try and play teleport characters a little closer than usual. Try to keep the entire fight within dash distance. If you whiff a low slide because she goes for a teleport kick, the kick will miss you. Just play around at that distance and practice punishing. Be more reactive than...
