How to play with no variation

"To select a character without variation: after selection a character, press Up, Up on the variation selection screen to hide your variation selection to your challenger.

When your variation selection is hidden, press Triangle/Y to select that character without a variation selected.


You just get the neutral character. You can still do the general combos and special moves. Same goes for the fatalities, "all variation" brutalities and the faction kills."

I've always wondered about the "none" option for variation in training mode. Now I know

interesting, what moves to you all get then??

The moves that are universal across all variations I guess, which makes me wonder about moves like Liu Kang's fireballs or Jax's gotcha grab which change across variations.

I'd do some testing but I'm at work.

It's actually kinda true, though...

How do you get the other variations after up,up?

This is pretty cool and all, but I have to wonder why you'd ever want to do it - the 'neutral' character will be inherently weaker than all of their variations. :/

Although actually, I suppose it's a little bit like making each character their own 'Dan Hibiki'

I knew this. Kitana gets ass but can't do it in the air.

With Jax it's an alternative to heavy weapons.

I like the energy wave and EX energy wave more than the launcher.

No variation. The new tournament standard. It's the only way we can be fair across the board.

Ummm.. What does Jacqui get... Nothing... I gotta check this out

I'm posting this because I am not sure if a lot of people are aware, I know I wasn't. Sorry if it is common knowledge.

To play without a variation, you have to press UP after selecting your char to make secret which variation you are choosing, and then press 2/Y/Triangle to select them without variation. Good for showing off, I suppose.

Do those variations lack moves?

After I press UP it doesn't go hidden. Do I have to unlock this ability from the krypt or something?

What happens for characters like Kenshi whose moves are all tied to his variations? ._.
