    Question I know this was posted around the time the game was still new, but...

    Block button rules. MKX mechanics are great and competitive. We cannot always win to better players, but we can also be better than others. If you suck, you suck, just admit it, it has nothing to do with the game having a certain move calibrated in a certain way, please, just say that you suck...

    Excellent points. I don't thing using D2s is my problem, instead my problem is using them all the time randomly out of nowhere. At the same time, I also think a level of randomness makes the game more fun. So I need to find a balance between the two.

    OK, so I have been actively trying to not use uppercuts at all, and now the game is losing a lot of its charm. I honestly think there is a level of satisfaction in performing that move that it is irreplaceable with anything else. In fact, the one thing that made me consider Injustice as...

    Yes, this is very true . I mean you still have some idea, if you play a lot, but nothing very specific. I mean unless you are like 10 years old, no one is mashing buttons. For example Hadouken teaches you about footsies and spacing, but a lot of us do it without realizing we are doing it, and...

    KOH advice

    I hope so, but I wouldn't even call it a phase, I'm starting to realize this is not something I developed overnight, instead it comes from all those classic MK games. MK Arcade Kollection is probably the only fighting release where I was able to get 20 wins streaks at a regular basis, usually I...

    KOH advice

    Yes, I actually was going to write about this. I started playing for a little bit thinking about D2s since some people here mentioned it, and then I was noticing that yes, indeed, I do D2s ALL the time. This is something I didn't even acknowledge before until you guys pointed it out. You can...

    KOH advice

    Yes, I usually don't do D2s, the guy here mentioned them, and it got me 3 wins in a row, so the advice he gave me helped, but I know that's not something I can rely on. I lost the 4th fight, and funny enough that's when I stopped using them because I thought people was going to notice them. Then...

    KOH advice

    I started using more D2s after the other guy mentioned it above. It did help win those 3 fights, but I'm sure you can only go so far with the old school fighting style.

    KOH advice

    It finally uploaded. This is the win with Bo Rai Cho: I feel my main issue is that I see people pulling 16 hits combos, and I can barely do 4 hits combos myself. They look so complicated, but if other people can do them I guess it is possible. I feel time is the biggest issue. It takes...

    KOH advice

    I won 3 times in a row out of nowhere. The 3rd time was with Bo Rai Cho, but for some reason the video upload keeps getting interrupted. Either way I managed to upload the other two. It was very surprising to me not only to win, but to win 3 times in a row with 3 different people, and since I...

    My MK9 Original WB Arcade Cabinet

    Thank you man. If I ever get a new game from the Japanese store I will add it to the list. I've seem some good ones they have there that I still don't have like: - Phantom Breaker Another Code [the fighting game, not the beat 'em up] - Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code - Blade Arcus...

    My MK9 Original WB Arcade Cabinet

    Thank you man. Yeah, it was very sad because as far as I know they destroyed at least half of them. Some guys saved the fight sticks at least. Street Fighter games are definitely not ideal for this setup, I still have them there just because they were already part of my PS3 collection. This...

    My MK9 Original WB Arcade Cabinet

    1UP is coming up with a very aproachable solution in the following months for arcade cabinets in general. I'm happy for them slowly bringing those back to the general public in small doses. Thank you man. I personally can't complain. They did this cabinet, and it made me very happy.

    My MK9 Original WB Arcade Cabinet

    There was only a handful of arcade cabinets made for the MK9 presentation, probably around 8 of them. Some were made for the Xbox 360 version and some for the PlayStation 3. I managed to get the PlayStation 3 version for myself through networking in a Hollywood storage facility. I was very...

    I play rank matches, and every now and then I find a player at my level, then I find some players that are definitely above my level, and other times I find players below my level, which makes it all very engaging. However KOH is another story. In the same group there may be players below my...

    Characters you want/think will be in MK11?

    I want everyone from Deadly Alliance. They have done a stellar job rebooting the first 4 games with 9 and X. I don't want them to jump too fast into Armageddon's territory. I want them to take their time before Blaze shows up again. I get it that this is a completely different new cycle, and it...
