UPDATED: More "Toasty Boost" Discoveries and How it's Done

Let's pull this back a bit to better inform you of exactly what and how this all works. The "Toasty Boost" was something that happened in the most seldom of occurrences due to the fact that no one knew exactly what triggered it, how it worked, etc. We have later found out that on the occasion where Dan Forden appears on the screen during a "Toasty!", which is said to be triggered by an uppercut, you have a certain amount of time to either hit your opponent quickly after the uppercut or enter certain inputs.

Well, players have been testing out the possibilities with this in tag mode (2v2) and entering the Kombat code "303 303" for 'fast uppercut recovery' for means of testing this out. But, we're not done yet... the third part of this is what inputs actually trigger the "Toasty Boost" and here we have two more (videos) of Sindel and Liu Kang's Toasty Boost. When you get the "Toasty Boost" you are granted full meter automatically.

It's arranged by the order they appear on the char select screen, left to right. No FFF and no BBB because there haven't been any yet, but I suspect there could be all sorts of commands. Also the chart has been updated: http://i.imgur.com/79ur2.jpg

I'm not sure I understand why some people's rows are red, and labeled as impossible, when it's obvious that it has to be one of the combinations?

Isn't it F,F,D 2 for Liu Kang?
I've read it's that for Liu Kang some time ago.

The whole row is red because we found that character's toasty boost already so it's unpossible that they have 2 toasty boost commands. Others are red because people have tested it and it's confirmed not to work.

It didn't work, so we started trying the directional inputs that were toasty boosts for other chars and 2. FFB2 ended up being the right command. Remember, in MK angles count as 2 directions. You might see an uppercut but if you push d/b it also counts as pressing down and back.

Why doesn't the chart show all possible 3 direction combinations? Like this but continue for each starting direction:

FFF
FFB
FFD
FFU
FBF
FDF
FUF
FBB
FBD
FBU
FDB
FDD
FDU
FUB
FUD
FUU

It isn't going to be easy but that is the best systematic way to solve these. If we really want to figure it all out we need to delegate inputs/characters to people and use the best possible way to achieve a toasty. So put the game on first to 3 rounds instead of 2, two player health recovery (that is a kombat kode and not mod stuff right?) Also I believe Check said at some point you need to turn off/on the system after a toasty (not just toasty boost right?) to make him appear faster again.

If there was anyway to use a saved state in anyway that would speed things up greatly as you could keep restarting at a toasty and try all the inputs. Are there any functional PS3 emulators? I've never looked into that.

no, there's no functional ps3 emulators, you would need like a super computer to run one lol

maybe a modded ps3 can utilize save states though, that's a good idea. if we had any good modders in this community i'm sure they could find what causes dan forden to pop up... i'll ask around

There is no evidence to support that up is a command for toasty boost inputs yet, but it is definitely possible. As for now, this is MK and we deal with FACTS. Almost got a toasty boost doesn't cut it! We have REAL inputs for REAL toasty boosts... and you can HOLD DAT!;)

Because so far Sindel is the only the character who doesn't follow the pattern of 2 d's, b's or f's followed by a different direction, and even her's starts with two of the same direction. It makes sense that all the directional combinations he listed will be used for one of the characters, then once those combinations run out there's a few odd man out combinations like Sindel.
Toasty is already random and time consuming to get, no one wants to waste time trying combinations that seems unlikely. For example, 'u' has never been confirmed in a toasty boost and doesn't fit in the pattern, so using a system that tests 'u' could waste a lot of people's time. It might be worth it when we know more, but right now it looks like we can find most or all of them by grinding through the patterns listed

Nice finds so far guys. Everyone working on this is great for putting in the time. I messed with Reptile, seeing if I could try a few inputs for him this morning before work, and I ran through the Arcade Ladder twice, all normal settings, doing all uppercuts and did not get 1 Toasty lol. After that, I tried 2 Player mode on Uppercut Recovery for about 10 minutes and still did not get 1. I guess it is just totally random. Anyway, I will put a little time into a couple of characters tonight and at least go through a few inputs, so we can at least count them out.

Do you have input let say BBD4 and then uppercut(D2)?
Click to expand...
to get the toasty boost? no, the toasty input comes after dan forden pops up. uppercut causes him to pop up but there's a couple different things (specials and maybe normals besides kabal's b121) that do as well
