The "Things You May Not Know About MK9" Thread

If you play tennis with a nightwolf mirror, the projectile will turn invisible yet still be active
One day, somebody is going to stumble onto a collection of invisible razor hats and hurt themselves. Very badly. And some day, a hunter of fortunes will take Nightwolf's spirit arrow in the.....

Sektor is a Tyrannosaurus Rex; abnormally long reach on his leg normals, unfortunately short and stubby reach on his arm normals.

Kabal had a pigtail before his incineration, Kano gave him another pigtail.

Kuh-Bawl's left eye is blind. He could've almost gotten a Gas Blast Ram move with armor on the EX version when Kintaro burned him.

My friends and I kinda made a game similar to AE's "roseball" using nightwolf. We didn't have a catchy name for it, but you just reflect the arrow so much back and fourth that the arrow disappears. Also its really fucking fast. Played tag and used reptile's forceball and it had the same effect. Eventually it disappears, but it can still hit you. The EX forceball also disappears faster.

Show me what you can do
Liu Kang can Bicycle Kick over Sub's Ice Clone, though you need to know when and the range to do it. (Which I don't haha)

Also, you can break whenever you're in hitstun. I remember seeing earlier posts wondering about it. For example, after JC's Nutpunch, Scorpion's teleport, Reptile's d4 (opponent cancels into Acid Hand), though it has to be hit stun.

There was something odd about Jade's standing 3 against low pokes, but I'm drawing a blank exactly how it worked.... It's too damn early. And I have no on here to help me test it.

Anyone else been staring intently at all the stages and characters looking for things to add since this thread?
 
On the Pit (night & day), and Shang Tsung's Gardens, the characters on the bridge in the background are tirelessly fighting each other with no determined winner. This means they probably drank a lot of Red Bull to fight for so long, though in Shang's Gardens, they gradually move out of view after a few minutes.

The Smithy in the Armory (the one working on a sword), pounds on it to the beat of the Klassic Armory music.

The audience in Kahn's Koliseum like to throw shit at the fighters when they get close to either corner.

On the Street stage, if you pay attention, you can notice a car go over a damaged section of the bridge then fall out and into the river.

Ermac, Skarlet, Kenshi, Sonya, Liu Kang, Nightwolf, Kabal, Baraka, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Raiden, and Kratos are the group of fighters who do not break the forth wall by looking at the "screen" in their match and round win animations. (Not sure about Sonya, though. I mean, what the hell is she saluting to?)

Wonder_Chef awesome thread. Funny and informative.

Freddy is the only hat character that doesn't lose his hat when he is x-rayed.

The voice of Shao Kahn/Baraka is also the voice of Boxer in Street Fighter IV. You can kind of hear it in Shao Kahn's scream when you beat him in arcade mode. Someone needs to make a video of him screaming "My fight money!"

In tag practice if you x-ray with the second character then hit select right before the screen goes into x-ray view your first character will perform the x-ray. If you use Reptile (and I think Baraka and Milenna) as second character the first character will have a distorted face to look like them. My favorite is MK3 Sub-Zero with the pointy Reptile face. FYI some x-rays freeze the system (at least on Ps3) and you need to restart the PS3, I know Kabal's xray does this, I think a few others.

Cyrax has what looks like a grinning face in his vs screen.
