Thanks for all the information Enigma! I updated the homepage story here with a link to this thread.

I have a few questions. My first one is, can you do Kung Lao's spin infinite in the corner? Is the spin still unlimited? In Rev 1.2 you can get spin, straight up jump kick(or some other hit), spin infinitely but in the updated Wavenet version, this was supposedly limited. If it's been fixed here we might be looking at updated gameplay!

As far as online play goes I cannot tell you anything because my 1 month gold subscribtion is over and ill have to buy a year plan wich will run about 60$...But my main problem is the buttons....Ive plyd umk3 on kaillera for about 4 years using R2 as the run button,now all of a sudden im being forced to use the left trigger of the 360 pad...it will definelty throw my rushing tactics off bad...and will take alot of getting use to.What I dont understand is why sf2 hyper fightings buttons were settable yet umk3's arent.I know I might sound like a baby about 1 button but it makes a hell of a difference when your playing competitivly and u need each buttons set to your comfortability.

I am really starting to hate playing the same map over and over and over during online play.

Doesn't Midway pay attention to stuff?

If you keep uppercutting them through ceilings, you'll keep replaying the same stages. It's the same for arcade. Don't uppercut if it's that important.

Not true. Whenever you player matches where 4 people are in (2 fighters, 2 spectators), regardless of whether an uppercut takes place, you're always going to be fighting in Scorpion's Lair.

It's further confirmed by the fact that every vs. screen in that 4-player mode never goes higher than "Battle 1". It's always "Battle 1".

Also, when you go through ranked games, every match is played on Scorpion's Lair because it's the first in the cycle.

It's getting very old.

I agree with Br0ken. It was really upsetting in the armageddon premium edition. It's called TRILOGY, it used the exact same controller, so why did they have to change the controls for MAT2 and UMK3? There's no reason to change it. Instead of having both right triggers block and both left triggers run, why not mix it up so you could have it either way like in trilogy?

Brutalities are not in UMK3 arcade (This version is supposed to be like arcade)

---

To unlock the hidden characters you have to put in the ultimate kombat kodes at the game over screen


The following buttons control each box (left to right)(with XBLA adjustments):

Player 1: High Kick (Y), Low Punch (A), Block (R trigger), Low Kick (B), High Punch (X)
Player 2: High Kick (Y), Low Punch (A), Block (R trigger), Low Kick (B), High Punch (X)

Mileena 22264-22264

Classic Sub 81835-81835

so, there are brutalities or not?, sorry if im not understanding, but that´s why im asking tis... i see that you post the ultimate kombat codes, is so "arcade" that even the lock character is there?... that´s great, but once you put the ultimate mortal kode, you don´t need to put it again right?( memory)

Sorry I wasn't clear. Brutalities are NOT in this game. That thing must be wrong, or the marketers just don't care enough to know.
