    Carnage (the Marvel super villain) should be a guest character in MK10

    He'd be a super cool guest character. First off he fits the mood of MK perfectly (he looks like a moving mass of rotting flesh). He could have specials that consist of his limbs moving across screen (like Dhalsim) with hands transforming into axes (like in the comic books). I'm sure there would...

    Comparison and Differences of 3D Fighters: Tekken6, VF5, DoA4, SCV

    I haven't played Tekken since Tekken 1 and Tekken 2 on the PS1 and I wasn't a big fan of the game because there was an over emphasis on juggling in combos and the game felt kind of slow compared to other fighting games at the time. I guess because of that I haven't ever tried to get into 3d...

    Which upcoming 3D fighter are you more excited about, VF5FS or DoA5?

    Which upcoming 3D fighter are you more excited about, VF5FS or DoA5? (DoA5 is supposed to be a little less fleshy than DoA4, so don't base your vote on flesh-factor.)

    UMvC or SFxT

    I'm wondering, which game do you recommend more? Also what are the differences in gameplay mechanics? Is one of them faster (not more chaotic)? Do the Tekken characters in SFxT work well against the characters with fast projectiles? Which game is easier to get into and less complicated?

    Kenshi Noob Guide?

    I'm just beginning to get into MK9. Right now my favorite characters are Kenshi, Kung Lao, and Ermac. I'm just wondering, I've found so many advanced and complex guides for Kenshi, including pages of combos. But I'm married, with children, and employed. I don't really have the time to go watch...

    Instant Air Projectiles?

    I'm just wondering why many people say if you want to master Mileena or Kitana then you have to master instant air projectiles? I tested the difference between throwing her fans from the ground or in the air, there is no change in effect. So what do I gain by instant air projectiles? I assumed...

    Dead or Alive 5 Excitement

    I never played any of the DOA series, but I just checked out some gameplay videos on youtube. It looks like it's going to be nice. Anyone else excited about this game?

    Fighting Game Recommendations

    I recently got back into fighting games after playing SF4 and MK9. I grew up playing SF2 and MK1&MK2. Anyway, what fighting games does the MK community recommend. I'll say now that since getting back into fighting games, my favorite fighting game is MK9. Kenshi is my main followed by Ermac.

    MK10: Ermac and Skarlet Wedding

    Okay, it makes sense, doesn't it? Ermac is a bunch of souls of different people in one man and Skarlet a bunch of blood from different different people in one woman. I think they should get together and have offspring. What do you think?

    Kung Lao's Chained Fist Combo

    I've sat for 2 hours a day for the last 3 days trying to perfectly do this combo. It's the 21212 combo. I'm playing on a PS3 with the standard PS3 controller. About 1/3 of the time it works and 2/3 of the time it doesn't take it. Is there a better way to do this without changing controller...

    mk dpd fight stick opinions?

    I'm wondering if anyone has tried the DPD fight stick and what their opinion is on it? Also, do you think I can play MK9 at a high level using the PS3 gamepad? I found some combos to be hard to pull with the gamepad, like the Kung Lao 21212 combo.

    future patches?

    I'm just wondering, are there any plans to release patches that fix any current bugs that exist since the latest patch (including MKKE bugs) as well as balancing of characters?

    Question Is she worth learning?

    I'm wondering if I should spend time learning Skarlet? I've noticed that on most tier lists they place her near the bottom. Also, if I teamed her up with another character, who would you recommend?

    MK9 - Best Fighting Game Ever

    MK9 - Best Fighting Game Ever Okay, I know some people are going to complain that I'm a fanboy, but no, I'm not. I grew up on Street Fighter 2 since elementary school and at that time I preferred SF2 to MK. However, having not played any fighting games since the PS1 days of MK, Tekken, and...

    Throw Escape?

    In the on-disc tutorial it says that to escape a throw you only have to press forward punch or kick during the throw animation. I noticed in some of the online strategy guides it says for a normal throw you press back punch or kick and for a forward throw forward punch or kick. Is this right?

    bufferable?

    What does the term "bufferable" mean in the Shoryuken strategy guide for MK9? I did a search and read 4 different explanations. 1) The move can be cancelled (meaning the last frames of the animation) into another move? 2) The move can be done by inputting the commands during a block? 3) The...

    Kombo Advice

    I'm new to MK9. I just picked up MK9KE today. I just want advice on combos. 1. I noticed that in the move list for each character, there are combos listed with names. It seems these are built in combos that don't rely purely on normal moves and special moves. Am I right? 2. I guess more...
