    Which Character(s) Do You Hate Playing Vs The Most?

    I'm curious as to who you all struggle the most against in this game. Doesn't need to be matchup wise or anything just who you see selected on the character screen that makes you go "oh shit" even if a lesser skilled player selects them. And why you struggle vs them. For me, personally, it's...

    Nightwolf First Look (Courtesy of WB and Mr. Aquaman)

    Mr. Aquaman, resident hype man of the NRS scene, was given an opportunity for an early look at Nightwolf, releasing on 8/13 for season pass holders. He put out a 30 minute video showing off his competitive variations, what he can do with them, his gear, and everything else you'd want to know...

    NRS Props for MKX

    In light of all the complaining and @FCP/EMP SCAR 's thread praising the ladies of the game... I figured maybe we ought to have a thread to show appreciation for things that we like about the game. Yes, designers hear complaints all the time and probably don't take much to heart, but I'm sure...

    Factions (who is in which?)

    So, we all know that the online in MKX is going to having something called a faction war. And there are all these different factions that people will be able to work toward making the dominant faction in the game. However, of the characters that we know to be in the game (shoutous to...

    The Big Bad in MKX

    Boon has said that the big bad will be a returning character that no one expects... so I think it's one of 2 characters. 1. Liu Kang. The original champion of Mortal Kombat. The timeline gets rebooted and fucked all to hell by Raiden and so now... b/c of the butterfly effect or whatever you...

    random stuff I found with WW

    I found that if you do 112 into ex tiara then jump up and do a ground smash or whatever, it stands them back up and you're in lasso grab range and just outside b2 range. Also, 34% one bar sword combo: Ji2 22 ex shield throw 223 You can keep looping the 22 ex shield throw as much as you want...

    Question How do you Rax?

    I know some of the small things but when you're trying to learn a character you always feel overwhelmed. At least, I do. There needs to be a guide in here or something. Like I see Krayzie's guide on matchups, and the button input guide, but no real cyrax basics and advanced things kind of...

    Games that you wish they would make/hope they make...

    Whether it be a game that you know they are or might be making (like SC2 or Diablo 3 that took forever to come out) or a game that you've always wanted that will probably never be made. Let's hear about them! Mine would be a console Pokemon RPG with an open world like the fallout games or...

    Offline timing vs Online timing (So Different!)

    I know I've said something about this before, but this is just to reiterate after playing again at the BnB tourney tonight. For any of you guys out there looking to go to offline get togethers and tourneys who've never experienced it before... GET PRACTICE IN BEFORE HAND. I can't stress how...

    Cyrax - How to:

    Ok, so this is like the third different time I've wanted to learn Cyrax... (and now I know why I keep giving up) ... these resets that look so easy, so effortless... I just can't fucking do them. Like someone here told me why my second bombs weren't coming out. It was b/c I wasn't cancelling...

    Who's a good female character?

    So, I'm sick of only using the male characters and I'd like to have at least one of the female characters as a secondary/backup type character. So who do you guys think would be a good choice? I think I'm gonna go ahead and rule out Skarlet just b/c it's so damn hard to do her combos. lol So...

    New to TYM, been playing MK9 since release

    Just joined and I actually have been on the "themortalkombat.com" forums... but they were pretty dead and I remembered some of them mentioning this site, so I decided to join up. I'm haven't actually played most of the MK games as I was only 4 or 5 when they came out. I think my first game...
