Edit your posts, do not make multiple posts in a row like that.

Am I the only one who's having trouble with the button inputs? I'm going through the tutorial and they want me to do a X, A, Y combo, but the damn thing doesn't chain. 😬

edit- Guess I was doing it too slow. As soon as I tried again I got it. Shit's difficult for me though. I've always just frame type of things.

Yeah story mode is pretty amazing.


Meh. Baraka and Reptile have always been the underling/minion type of characters anyway, more or less. Kinda sad too since Reptile's one of the original ninjas. You'd think they'd make him as important plot-wise as Scorpion and Sub-zero.

do stage fatalities count?


Yeah, it's one of the trophies/achievements labeled as "Secret", so you don't know at first (hate when they do that 😬).

You have to do a stage fatality with at least one character for part of another achievement, but you don't have to do it with everyone like you do the babalities.

You can also point to the fight where he lost to Kabal, too. That's the problem with trying to nail tiers down for MK characters, at least in regards to the story mode.

Hmm, yeah. That's true, and I forgot about the Kabal part at first. Thanks for pointing that out.

About facing Smoke, Does he always show up behind the same tree? and only once? there's like 4 front trees, and I haven't been able to see him.

He's usually on the 2nd tree to the far right, and whenever he feels like showing up, he'll reappear plenty of times before the match is over if you don't spot him the first time. If you don't see Smoke within the first 15 to 30 seconds at the beginning, go to player select and try again.

I finally did all babalities, now the ones I got left are the ones for facing Smoke, Reptile and Jade, and the Mileena costume... and the ones related to the tower, I'm only at challenge 85 🙂

... and I still haven't got the online ones as well 😄

The challenge tower is quite addictive

Kannot wait for "InKredible Adventures"!

Apparently we're getting some sort of DLC on wednesday (according to Kotaku). It can't be Kenshi and Scarlet this soon, can it?

Talking about top tiers... what about Motaro? 😆

aren't Centaurs supposed to be Khan's favorites and the frigging thing gets killed off-screen

Yeah, those were the only stages that have fatalities 😐

Classic Noob Saibot just might be the most broken character ever. God I loved him.

damn i just cant decide about the MK fighters tiers as far as story goes, shao kahn beats raiden, raiden beats liu kang, liu kang beats shao kahn?? and to top all that sonya beats up raiden as well???????

scorpion beats nightwolf who beats up powered up sindel who beats up cyber sub zero who is stronger than before when he defeated scorpion?

wtf? stryker beats kintaro ?? goro kintaro and shiva are just losing to any single one they fight??

noob saibot gets beat up by preery much everybody? nightwolf beats up quan chi and noob saibot?

sonya defeating both sub zero the elder and raiden????????

if we go by those fights its reptile,baraka,kintaro,goro,shiva at the bottom being the weakest fighters

that sucks there is no logic or any kind of order at all in those fights

Goes to show A>B>C logic isn't going to cut it.

Also it seems that unless you are a sorceror/Kahn or Ermac you will get your ass kicked--excluding Sindel of course. The shokans were nothing but jobbers this time around. Hell Cyber Sub beat 2 of them at the same time *sigh* I ain't happy with the jobbing.

If we can get the entire who beat who list things might become easier. Sonya beating Elder Sub does not surprise me. Elder Sub didn't do anything at all until that point....and he didn't do anything after he turned to noob. I was waiting for a Noob vs Scorpz rematch but Noob was probably going to get his ass kicked. Raiden was probably jobbing to spare Sonya a nasty beatdown.

ermac also got his ass kicked by everybody he only managed to own jax

Was still fun how he pawned Jax lol

yeah that was kinda funny but still the fights doesnt make any sense at all, i think its a very good game and overall great storyline but i kinda feel they just stepped on very respect characters that were with us since the first days of mortal kombat and they stepped on them like they mean nothing like goro kintaro baraka and reptile they treated them like they are some canon folder just for more "human" golden boy like characters such as johny cage and stryker who should never in there wildest dreams be able to beat goro or even reptile who is a freakin trained ninja reptile, i mean come on a movie star and a cop beating up ninjas who trained there entire life in the arts of deadly combat? or a shokan giant half man half dragon that can tear you in half?

I don't really think Reptile was all of that but I agree about the shokans getting the short end of the stick this time around.

well reptile being debated to be on par with sub zero and scorpion is fair, but the fact alone he is a reptilian ninja that has such agility that even johny cage commented as "nice stunt" is more then enough to call bullshit on some cop and movie star beating him i just hate it when the cocky attitude guy or the golden looking guy beating up characters they should never beat, liu kang and kung lao are shaolin monks that were raised as fighters both physically and spiritually but comparing them to some cop and a movie star? i am not accepting that but its my opinion to each there own

Johnny Cage beat up Shinnok before, he's the man.

It's not about what the characters appear to be like, Liu Kang has the most jobbing in his favor though.

oh give me a break and should johny cage beat shinok? a sorcerer that exist for centeries who was a human race threat should be defeated by a cocky movie star? lets look at his bio who is johny cage? some movie star that had some karate training during his life? and that suppose to give him those kind of wins?

liu kang doesnt get jobbing he is a shaolin monk raised from childhood by monks are was practicing the arts of fighting both physiocally and spiritually , he has the mentality of a champion and was trained since little kid there is no reason for him not to be able to take the opponents he took due to great skills unlike cage who just went to some karate classes and with this guys attitude he didnt take the training very seriously he is a goof and should never be able to beat even baraka

lol, someone wasn't reading the updated Johnny bio...

For the Jade one, best advice I can give is, choose Scorpion, and once you get to Shang Tsung, jump towards him while doing his aerial Y/triangle punch, then uppercut him. After that, use the spear, do a teleport, press Scorpion's X/square punch a couple times, spear and teleport again, and rinse and repeat. If you're doing it on beginner difficulty, Tsung won't ever be able to touch you with that method, and then you'll fight classic Jade afterward, assuming you did a fatality on Tsung and everyone before him.

And if you happen to get hit by Tsung, be sure to keep fighting him until it says "Finish Him", because if you go to player select and retry beforehand, it'll count as a loss for your record, and you can't get any losses if you want Jade to show up, so yeah.

Smoke I already told you about. For classic Reptile, just keep choosing the arcade until the Pit (night) becomes the stage for your 1st match. At the beginning, don't move or anything and wait a few seconds for something to cross the moon (that's usually the fastest way for it to activate) and get a double flawless and stage fatality. Unlike with Tsung in order for you to fight Jade, you can go to player select prematurely and try again if you happen to get hit.

Hope that helps?

Err.. Everything he did in the Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Subzero adventure game counts for his feats apparently, before he became Noob Saibot after being killed in MK1. He beat Scorpion twice in that game, as well as the elemental gods (excluding Raiden), fought through the prison of lost souls in the netherrealm and other stuff, and beat Quan Chi and his personal assassins, took the amulet from Shinnok, and made it back to earthrealm safe and sound (to sum most of it up anyway).
The elder Sub also had some crazy powerful special moves exclusive to that game, like being able to deep freeze opponents to where they're brittle enough to shatter into pieces, and the polar blast, where he could freeze the entire air itself by concentrating all of his ice power into one destructive blast (you could kill Shinnok with it if used enough times).

But yeah, that's true about the Raiden and Sonya encounter, and what not.

At least he's got some real telekinetic feats now thanks to this game. TK'ing Stryker into that Subway station at quick speed, TK'ing those soldiers that Cyber Sub-Zero rescued, and what he did to Jax's original arms were all pretty impressive.

Yeah I remember all he did in his own game(I loved it) and yes I now remember Raiden mentioning it in the beginning of this game when Scorpz showed his skull. I guess it is still canon since Raiden was not obsessed with stopping his vision from happening and thus nothing was altered.

Agreed.

Sonya's a ****ing beast in this game.

What do you guys about the characters tiers gameplay wise?
