UMK3 Q&A

What is it called when u jump over someone and they just throw u regardless of you trying to cross-up throw them, or combo/jab? Marvirrasta is probably the only player I see always doing this its just one of the few things I cant figure out lol since I always assumed the person crossing over had a slight frame advantage to throw or link a combo.

You see Marv doin this at 4:03 here

It can be a pain cuz unless you link a punch while your in the air to link a cross up combo, you'll get auto-thrown no matter what.

I kind of feel the same way but reverse lol, a good Reppy player is ANNOYING with the FB zoning tactics so with Kabal you can just jump over them, JK and charge him start putting pressure on him. I've noticed IMO Reptile is very vulnerable UP close...far, he's deadly and a pain to get near sometimes unless you have a good, fast teleporter. Reptile vs. anyone far away=bad for whoever Reptile is facing IMO unless it's Sub and you trade off with a freeze or a very good Cyrax bomb zoning(it's worked well for me at times against Reptile)

I also like the Sektor vs. Reptile match up because with two force balls on me I can get out two seekers sometimes, Rolltide and myself had great Rep/Sektor matches all the time lol. Yes lol I know it's heavily against Sektor being low and all but it's not impossible.

where can i get em?

ok so if no matter wat you should hold down back while in the air and at landing to prevent being thrown autimatically upon landing on a cross up? And im assuming marv just switches directions once you hop over him, holding down back on the left side instead.

yea i always knew about the deff/glitch jabbing which marv does mainly throughout every match but neat how its used in those instances

I'm trying to improved my Human Smoke play ... I need the perfect timing to get the reset done. But i don't know sometimes it work sometimes it doesn't .... I assume that i probably miss something. Someone can help me out ?

Here's a video of LI Joe this is the same combo:

you mean ... aahp, jk, air throw?

Hey, guys. I'm trying to learn UMK3, and I'm starting out with Scorpion before I move onto other characters.
My issue is that while I know the very basic uses for his special moves, I have a hard time grasping the fighting system outside of A.I. exploits and turtling. (epic fail)

any suggestions to get me started???

Thanks in advance!

ah, I see. Ok, human Smoke it is. Thank you!!!

HOW THE HELL DO YOU DO A MERCY??

I try to get the MKAK achievement of doing an animality but everytime I do -*hold run* DDDD *release run*- nothing happens!! HELP!

PS: Yes I do it on the third round and yes I do it full screen distance.

You have to hold run for at least 2 seconds before you release it and you are only required to tap down twice IIRC, but tapping more doesn't hurt. 1/2 screen or further away is good.

Thanks but I figured it out myself. It turns out I was pressing D too fast. I slowed it down a little and it worked.

Don't listen to Timmy. If you are beginning UMK3 you need to start with Scorpion and work your way up, it's how I taught my friend who now mains Smoke, same goes for myself. Why can't you start with Smoke you ask? Too complicated; you'll be tempted to learn everything with Smoke in one quick sweep. Start with Scorpion, learn to counter, aahp, time your teleports, etc.

If you need any more help message me @ Nobility.

Question about H. Smoke...so you know this combo? (Sorry if my syntax is bad or there's mistakes...doing this off memory)

HK - LP - Jump Kick - Telepunch - aaSpear - HK - Down+LP - HP - Jump Kick - Air Throw

I swear I've seen people do this combo, only putting an aaHP before the second jump kick, and then still getting the air throw. I cannot do this. If I do the aaHP, I can connect the jump kick, but not the air throw. Am I missing something? Or are they maybe leaving out a hit somewhere in order to be able to connect it?

Edit: It looks like this question has been addressed earlier in the thread. Sorry!

If I was a well known player I can probably talk my way out of this and blame it on the lag and how I don't take online seriously, but we all have bad days. I go in this thread and help someone out and offer one-on-one support yet you have audacity to mention r-quitting on MK which all of us have done at one point. I don't see anyone else here offering one-on-help besides myself. Great contribution to thread, btw.

So you edit a macro post with an error?
