The "Things You May Not Know About MK9" Thread

[Lord Beef]

Kano and ermac use the same sound samples when getting hit, only pitched differently.

If Shang Tsung uses soul steal then immediately loses the game. If you baby him, he will become the baby of the person he used soul steal on.

 

[LEGEND]

I think he meant d3 to make his EX Shadow Kick whiff, though I could be wrong.

Just stating the obvious, but you can d3 a bunch of things...

Yeah that's what i meant lol

Also, you can use it to duck/interrupt his regular Shadow kick with any D3

REALLY REALLy useful in the Jax v Cage MU. Canceling GPs into D3s

reptile's baby has more toes than his regular form

 

[Rajjaka]

In story, on the way up the stairs in the beginning where everyone is dead, Kenshi's body is one of the dead bodies.


Everyone online scrubs favorite combo (jip uppercut) does less (11%) than a normal uppercut (12%).

yes... acctualy he is wearing is Desception costume (was)......you could also see bo´rai`cho laying at the very beginning of the stairs. Lui kang with dead dead costume....... with the chains in his hands.

Kung lao has noises from mk2 when you perform moves

 

[NickDaGreek1983]

A simple sweep will stuff virtually all of Liu Kangs wake up's in this game.

I guess low fireball is not included, right ?

 

[NickDaGreek1983]

Liu Kang has a bicycle frametrap in the corner that only works on male ninja's.

Bicycle frametrap in the corner? Could you tell more either here or with a personal message?

 

[NickDaGreek1983]

One man's chopping... is another man's slicing.

That looks like a monty python dialog...

B1, Bicycle kick when you have your opponent trapped in the corner.
The kick will not hit them if they are blocking and when the kick is at the last few hits it will hit them and leave Kang at +2 or +3 or something like that.
If they let go of block they'll get hit with it.

If they are crouching you'll fly over them, so not recommended to use against a few ninja's.

MK9 females are actually not strippers.

 

[Rikisrakis]

Despite the fact that Quan Chi has probably the most diverse and badass powers in the game, neither of his fatalities involve any use of them.

During Sonya's win stance, you can hear jets flying overhead, but only if you're on an outdoor stage.

You can cancel the first hit of Cage's F2 into a special, even though it's technically only one move.

Sheeva's throw does 14% damage as opposed to the usual 12%.

Kung Lao, Cage, and Jax's first fatalities are both of their MK2 fatalities put together.

After a jump in punch, Ermac can charge his B2 up to 7%, then continue into a full combo with 1 F2 teleport.

Getting shot in the head by Stryker four times in a row does less damage than getting kicked in the head by Scorpion's heel once.

 

[Chongo]

Skarlets throw only does 11%
Shangs throw does 9%, but gives him 2% health back.

 

[GuamoKun]

Kitana's standing 3 avoids JC's groin punches.

Cage can X-Ray CSZ+Cyrax's bombs....and its really dirty seeing it.

Ending a combo with Ermac's ex-push does more damage than the combo counter says since it doesn't count the landing splat.

Damaging Kenshi's face enough shows his eyes all blinded and stuff.

Sub-Zero...as a cyborg is waaaaaaay more emo than Sub-Zero, making his "MAH SOUL IS DED" argument null.

When you don't have Mileena playing in the Flesh Pits level, you can see her in the center vial thingy.

When you don't have Mileena playing in the Flesh Pits level, you can see her in the center vial thingy.

Cage can x-ray a bunch of the casts projectile if he's close enough. I know Sindel is one of them.
The only time you don't see her in the tube is when someone is using her Flesh Pits costume. Any other of her costumes, she's still there.

 

[Rikisrakis]

When Kitana is fighting in Shao Khan's Colosseum, she gets replaced by Tanya in the background.

 

[Prinz]

Cage's x-ray parries anything within his sweep range, even projectiles.

 

[Prinz]

The far skull of Shang Tsung's en-Ground Skull faces the screen with an evilest grin, the other two face up.
