10 years later impressive gameplay!! Best memories forever!! While at the time NRS have disappoint many people, which waiting something better with the development of MK12. We ll see..
Your username reminds me of cocoa from Nicaragua where my dad is from I was born in Los Angeles California and serving in the Marines right now but yes....a very redundant statement
EVO is a tournament series that happens every year sometime in July, so next July 2013 if the game is back, most likely Injustice Gods Among Us could take its place though.
i embrace getting spammed. its a sign of respect. if you don't get spammed, chances are they think you are weak as hell and can fight you close range. i fought a kabal with my sub. tore his ass apart the first round. he was elite too. 2nd round he back tracked the whole round throwing gas blast and saws and made it a point to keep me out. yea i was pissed but all is fair in love in right? i didn't complain i just patiently picked my spots. either adapt or just don't play the game.
Deandre Adams Yea, a lot of new players on mk9 and injustice since the announcement of MKX. I have to tone it down with the rushing and zoning or else i'd be accused of cheating. They make so many punishable mistakes; but i let it slip. And yea me too, Expert Kabal players are so hard to turtle against. Kung lao and Kenshi are my Anti Kabal match-ups.
this game is about skill and matchups. when everybody is good, its gonna boil down to matchups. this i overstand. man i pick sub MOST the time and sometimes raiden if i want an somewhat easier win to show them i could hand them their ass i needed to cause raiden is my better main, i just prefer sub. its evident against a top tier character in the skilled players hands they are suppose to win. i beat the odds though so many times simply with patience. now if i can beat the odds with that slow bastard MOST of the time there is NO excuse...
Deandre Adams Yea raiden is one of my mains too. he's really nasty with corner traps. Oh and yup sub zero requires patience. Sub players always always give me a hard time. Cant even Cmnd throw them with raidens e.x teleport without getting an uppercut to the face. I can only get through his ice clone set-up is if i meter burn johnny cage's super kick, but i can only do that when i catch him throwing ice....otherwise he'd just be turtling. Very tactical fighter, gotta respect his personal space.
+Deandre Adams clearly judging fro mthese tourny's yo ucan't adapt without spamming yourself...... otherwise spammers wouldn't make ti t the tourny's...... but they do. They do NOT make it to MKX tourny's....... and your statememnt rings VERY true for MKX.... but judging from these matches I've seen in MK9 tournys.. you have to spam to win......
I wouldn't be suprised if Pig didnt know the fatality because he probably never wasted his time learning fatalities and only learned how to play his Kenshi in the middle of battle.
*Daigo sits back and throws Hadokens* Y'all are like: "What a legend. Truly a master of fighting games." *Pig of the Hut zones out his opponents with Kenshi* Y'all are like: "Spammer! Zoning is cheap and lame!"
DerMeisterXZ ill bite. daigo throws fireballs to study your reactions and movement patterns. he sets you up to put yourself in vulnerable situations without you realizing it. he's got over a decade of championships against the very best across a handful of games. also, you act like that's the only way he plays. idk pigofthehut but i hear he plays just mk, argues with other mk players, and complains about his characters on forums. it's also funny you bothered to compare them like any other country in the world gave a motherfuck about mk except the us and maybe a handful of dudes from france or some shit.
Well pig of the hunt is a VERY bad player he just plays broken characters with projectiles he doesn't know anything else to do that's why fox 3 - 0 him in Evo 2014 without even trying Daigo is a legend and honestly zoning in SF isn't as braindead as it is in mk or injustice
Just got this game a week ago and i love it. Its one of the few fighters that appeals to casual and competitive players. Unlike Capcoms competitive only fighters. It has so much content and multiplayer capabilities(love challenge tower and king of the hill). I was wondering if i ever wanted to try competitive play is Ermac a good character? I rlly like him. But idk if he might be bottom tier or something.
I use to love the original MK and MK2 in the arcade back in the day.... haven't played MK for years and years... been playing a lot of SF for the last 10 years or so. Now that I look back at MK the gameplay and fighting mechanics for the characters looks goofy. Flame me if you will....
Mk9 is one of the most obsolete fighting games. Not even kidding. No just frames, shit like that. No universal moves besides a jump kick, roundhouse, and uppercut.
As someone who barely hasn't played Mortal Kombat much, I'm curious does Mortal Kombat have a lot of unbalanced characters. Would appreciate your insight on this, I'm debating on getting tekken tag or mortal kombat.
Kenshi is quite possibly the best character for keeping people at range. He is also very good at lifts, considering he has three potential lifts, in xbox controls: (>Y, Y, X), his down back X attack, and his enhanced down back B. Kenshi, even controlled by a moderately skilled player who has the reflexes to use his deflect, will kill seasoned players that can't work well in air or teleport, (Jax, Baraka, in some cases Johnny Cage, Sub Zero, Nightwolf, Some cases LiuKang,)
Can someone please help me? Do these guys get sponsored? I've been playing this alot since release, I had no idea MLG was even a thing for MK. How do I go about getting sponsored? Watching this video, I know I could win atleast 1 tourney. I have about 6k wins and 500 loss. I'm a brutal beast with Sub,Smoke,Cage,Scorpion. My only problem is, I'm on Xbox, I see that this years tourney is on PS3. I don't have a ps3. Do you guys think I would be okay playing on a PS3 at a tourney? The buttons are the same. I have friends with ps3 and I have no problem dominating them, but then again they don't play this game as seriously as I do. Opinions plz?
There are several games that offer sponsorship; including MK. Your best bet is to go to big tournaments and beat good players. You just have to get yourself out there. But FYI, you'd be surprised how different playing at tournaments is to playing with friends.
@kik0le I've played this guy on Xbox Live before and his true skill is like 42 or something. He's the real deal. He isn't playing with friends on xbox live, he is literally tearing down the opposition. Those are ranked matches. Frankly, tournaments would be easier to play than online because you don't have to adjust for lag. I'm pretty brutal with Scorpion, Raiden, Cyber Sub Zero, Liu Kang, and Cyrax myself.
Well, at tournaments, you have other factors to worry about like nerves or the feeling of being somewhere unfamiliar. It's tough to get used to tournaments and feel comfortable enough to play at your best right off the bat. But you should try your skills out at tournaments to get a better feel of where you stand. It's probably the most fun you can get out of playing the game.
Hey, I am planning on going to Evo 2013. Currently rank 39 with Dudley on xbox SSF4 AE. Are regular controllers allowed, or does it have to be a fight stick?
I honestly suck at MK, but love watching MK tournaments! Though I think I'd rather watch them with the game's music louder and absent comments all the time.. Kind of helps me focus better.
If it is competitive, everything is allowed. If you win by spamming, you can do it. If you want to change that, create a new rule. Don't think that you can win these games ONLY by spamming.
+z ahio creating a new game like MKX that doesn't allow noobish spammers with no shame to win so often as to get them into the top 8 might work as well. And if you see 90% of the top 8 spamming than that makes your statement "don't think yo ucan win only by spamming" kinda false. However, that statement IS true when it comes to MKX, judging fro mthe fact that there aren't spammers in the top 8.... pig of the hut might and could be considered as a spammer, btu EVEN I call him a zoner when it comes to MKX, his reads, his abiltiy to know when and whatt o use... when to armor, and the way he mixes up his close and far gaem..... that takes technical skilsl and strategy, which is why he made it to the top in MKX....... notice that there are NO spammers in the top 8 of MKX.
I hate zoning its so cheap and unprofessional its just like using the same punch or kick like 5 times which the guys that beat tyrant did there is no skill in their playing really at all.
SSJ3Goku2000 Striker is ass! The only characters that are worst than him are probably sheeva and kano. Even jade is better than him. Yes he hits hard, but his normals are so slow that he never hits anyone with them. And at this level ex-rays are just not an option, so he's left with his grenades, which are not that great...he sucks.
Gonna discuss some of the things about this game/techniques and discuss why some is justified and others may not be (not just taking one side here so maybe my comment will be interesting). I was, and still am when I can find people/the time, competitive at MK9. My record is ridiculously high online and I've "mastered" multiple characters (lol at giving credentials for a UA-cam comment). Point is, zoning CAN be something of a skill and not just 3 buttons over and over again. Let's take Cyber Sub-Zero for example, horrible zoner in general, but with the right mindgames/setups you can actually get a zone advantage on people who aren't Kabal (lol). The problem is two things, any high level community (and at one point and time I was a part of this community, at least in the online world) is toxic. They play the game to win and nothing else. Throw money into that equation and you're damn right I'll press thee buttons over and over again. For example, let's say Baraka was used in Top 8 (I defend a lot of low tier characters so forgive all my examples being lower tiered), if it was a Baraka vs. Kabal matchup or even a few others, you could just simply zone and unfortunately there's not much you can do in the matchup. People WOULD do this because there's money involved and the Baraka player, even if a BETTER player, would still more than likely lose. The second problem (which still stems from the first one in a way) is a lot of high level players (please refer to the fact that I say A LOT and not ALL) will pick a character based on tier, learn the best things they have to offer, and honestly that's it. They learn other characters just to see matchups but that's not actually LEARNING the character that's just learning how to punish the character. Why is this a problem? Because when you learn only the best and only the best things they can do, well it gets kind of dull to watch/almost spammy. So when you have the equation of elitist mindset, and money you have people who will do whatever it takes to win, and sometimes spam zoning is the option. Don't get me wrong though there truly is some awesome people here and I do think Perfect Legend has a phenomenal Kung Lao and I respect him sticking with him even after the nerf, but we also see that he can handle zoning and close kombat (even if using Kung Lao =P). This is why I (even though you can expect to see me at local and national MKX tournaments) respect and love online play, simply because of the variety you have in players/strategies/characters. People online do play for fun, and competitively, and if you play in that community you normally will learn more about your character than in a purely offline competitive community. For example in MK9 my MAIN main was Ermac, I know pretty much every string with him and plenty of combos/punishes with him. I was almost forced to use as many as I could find BECAUSE of the online community. When you face people of all ranges of skills/characters/and strategies you are forced to bring out unique ways to play your character. Anyway there's my two cents. Zoning =/= spam always but spam can = zoning to some.
+BigKMusicProductions yes there are skill ful ways to ZONE... pig of the hut proves this in MKX.... I say he proves this because normal hack spammer cunts can't make it very far in MKX because the games mechanics is made in such a way that allows for skillful players to beat spammers with skill... this is shown in the competions you see of MKX..... there just aren't any spammers who make it to the top 8 or 16...... pig of the hut could be considered one, but I don't i consider him a zoner, his reads are incredible, and he knows right when to use which move.. it seems in MK9 HOWEVER that spammign is rewarded.... judgign onthe fact that it seems like every MK9 comp video I see the top eight are just spamming over and over again......... just isn't like that in MKX tourny's. AND THANK GOD FOR THAT!
+anhaconda yeah mike tyson used the smae punch to win, because that punch always fuckin knocked people otu..... so they literalyl had to dodge it over and over again, and even like mike said "they'll eventually get caught" In the game the advantage clearly goes to the spammer, or else you woudn't see so many spammers in the top 8 lol. Go watch top 8 in MKX....... there are no spammers...... and it's NOT because all the spammers went away after mk9...... it's because in MKX a skillfull player will win agaisnt a noobish spammer, the way it SHOULD BE......
80% of the comments are by idiots and scrubs. The FGC is so spoiled nowadays. "Patch this, it's cheap!" "Ban spamming, it's unfair!" Learn match-ups and adapt!
yeah i hope so and i know a great game to ad in mk10 as a dlc a game of all the characters and the revenge of whoever you pick you have like a selection of all the characters and you get to play a story mode of them.
its not like you can really chain combos with anyone besides reptile(he has a juggle one in a corner) and kung lou(just one decent one) mortal kombat is a very, very slow non-combo based fighter
"That zoning game with Kenshi is so strong" That zoning game with Kenshi is so cheap* I don't care what anyone says. That isn't how fighting games are meant to be played. It's cheap and there's no honor in playing like that. Fight like a man (or woman) not a little kid. Spamming/ zone spamming make for incredibly boring fights to watch.
I came here to see how mechanically clunky this game was (and man does it look worse than I remember), but I couldn't help but notice all the BLATANTLY obvious casual players commenting about "spamming" and "corner cheesing." First off, if you use either of those terms, you're literally telling everyone with a brain you don't know what you're talking about. If you think zoning is "spamming" you clearly don't know there are numerous ways around zoning, and it's up to YOU as a player to learn them. And if all of you honestly think you could even get out of pools in any fighting game at any major, you're horribly wrong. These guys were top notch in this game, and remain top notch in MKX. Whether or not zoning is boring is subjective. That does not mean, however, that it takes 0 skill. If you think that, try to zone against any pro player. Zoning isn't spamming, it's not "dishonorable" to zone, and there's no such thing as "corner cheesing." And to all the people like "upplsuckimcool16," please never touch a fighting game again. If the FGC is gonna bring in casual players, we want casuals that are willing to learn, not those who run around yelling "CHEAP SPAMMERS!"
+Clearzova I had someone in MKX just sit in one spot and block low with D'Vorah the second the fight started. If i tried to get in, they would just uppercut me, then sit and block again. So, i sat back with kitana and threw fans until they died from chip damage. Not to mention i've been corner trapped against both a highly skilled Tremor, and a less than impressive Goro player who just mashed the punch button like they were trying to jump start their heart. bottom line is, people need to be able to adapt. I beat the Goro and D'Vorah players, but didn't get a single win against the Tremor. I respected all the fights. That's what makes fighting games fun...getting over something obvious to snatch up the win in the end.
+Iceman 2020 There are a ton of ways to get in against crouch blocking. Just walk in with an over head, or run in and block cancel to bait his uppercut and punish. Kitana has plenty of options especially.
Can someone please tell me why people in tournaments doesn't play Jade character ? Because it's so bad ? or it's too good and is removed from tournaments as Kratos for being OP ?
Kenshi is straight up cheap, Idgaf what anyone says a he is easily the cheapest character. He's like noob but better, I don't enjoy watching a person spam 2 moves to win a match I'm sorry that you guys do.
You're not being a prick. You're explaining it pretty well. It just pisses me off when people practice hard to learn the ins and outs of a character, and them someone who just throws projectiles manages to make it to the top 8. To me, it spits in the face of competition and skill.
That's how you play the character, its not cheap at all. In fact, to properly keep out one of these top level guys you have to be pretty much on point with your spacing and timing.
I love how every time they say "full combo" almost every time, they have to follow up with "oh he dropped it"
I was too young when I was playing this game every day. I wish I knew about esports and all of that because this is probably my favorite Mortal Kombat

Gonna discuss some of the things about this game/techniques and discuss why some is justified and others may not be (not just taking one side here so maybe my comment will be interesting).

The problem is two things, any high level community (and at one point and time I was a part of this community, at least in the online world) is toxic. They play the game to win and nothing else. Throw money into that equation and you're damn right I'll press thee buttons over and over again. For example, let's say Baraka was used in Top 8 (I defend a lot of low tier characters so forgive all my examples being lower tiered), if it was a Baraka vs. Kabal matchup or even a few others, you could just simply zone and unfortunately there's not much you can do in the matchup. People WOULD do this because there's money involved and the Baraka player, even if a BETTER player, would still more than likely lose.
The second problem (which still stems from the first one in a way) is a lot of high level players (please refer to the fact that I say A LOT and not ALL) will pick a character based on tier, learn the best things they have to offer, and honestly that's it. They learn other characters just to see matchups but that's not actually LEARNING the character that's just learning how to punish the character. Why is this a problem? Because when you learn only the best and only the best things they can do, well it gets kind of dull to watch/almost spammy.
So when you have the equation of elitist mindset, and money you have people who will do whatever it takes to win, and sometimes spam zoning is the option. Don't get me wrong though there truly is some awesome people here and I do think Perfect Legend has a phenomenal Kung Lao and I respect him sticking with him even after the nerf, but we also see that he can handle zoning and close kombat (even if using Kung Lao =P).
This is why I (even though you can expect to see me at local and national MKX tournaments) respect and love online play, simply because of the variety you have in players/strategies/characters. People online do play for fun, and competitively, and if you play in that community you normally will learn more about your character than in a purely offline competitive community.
For example in MK9 my MAIN main was Ermac, I know pretty much every string with him and plenty of combos/punishes with him. I was almost forced to use as many as I could find BECAUSE of the online community. When you face people of all ranges of skills/characters/and strategies you are forced to bring out unique ways to play your character.
Anyway there's my two cents. Zoning =/= spam always but spam can = zoning to some.
Dude I can't even read the rest of the comment, but it seems great and I get the idea
+BigKMusicProductions yes there are skill ful ways to ZONE... pig of the hut proves this in MKX....
I say he proves this because normal hack spammer cunts can't make it very far in MKX because the games mechanics is made in such a way that allows for skillful players to beat spammers with skill... this is shown in the competions you see of MKX..... there just aren't any spammers who make it to the top 8 or 16...... pig of the hut could be considered one, but I don't i consider him a zoner, his reads are incredible, and he knows right when to use which move..
it seems in MK9 HOWEVER that spammign is rewarded.... judgign onthe fact that it seems like every MK9 comp video I see the top eight are just spamming over and over again......... just isn't like that in MKX tourny's.
AND THANK GOD FOR THAT!
How does one join a MK tournament?
what minute was it ?
So cheap fighting is now called "zoning"? loooooool
if u can't get out of a spam, u deserve to get spammed lol. mike tyson uses the same punches to win every match. u do what u have to to win
+anhaconda yeah mike tyson used the smae punch to win, because that punch always fuckin knocked people otu..... so they literalyl had to dodge it over and over again, and even like mike said "they'll eventually get caught"
In the game the advantage clearly goes to the spammer, or else you woudn't see so many spammers in the top 8 lol.
Go watch top 8 in MKX....... there are no spammers...... and it's NOT because all the spammers went away after mk9...... it's because in MKX a skillfull player will win agaisnt a noobish spammer, the way it SHOULD BE......
Bad example
How do u play fighting games without blocking ?
So Beauty PlayGame!!! =)
Hell Yeah
80% of the comments are by idiots and scrubs. The FGC is so spoiled nowadays.
"Patch this, it's cheap!" "Ban spamming, it's unfair!"
Learn match-ups and adapt!
This is still valid to this day
@@rayboone2106 indeed
"Oh wow!"
"Full combo..."
-These anouncers
I have mine set up like TT2.
Top Row: (from left to right, keep in mind this is how I use it at least)
1,2,block,tag
Bottom Row: 3,4, FlipStance, Grab
yeah i hope so and i know a great game to ad in mk10 as a dlc a game of all the characters and the revenge of whoever you pick you have like a selection of all the characters and you get to play a story mode of them.
I swear if I hear "thats interesting" one more time im gonna lose my shit. This guy.
Are all the pro players just a bunch of spammers?
Yeah none of them have skill. That's why they're pro. (sarcasm)
cole houser except for emp legend that looked like pure skill to me on his first round.
cole houser shut up because all i saw from cd jr is spaming with cabal
its not like you can really chain combos with anyone besides reptile(he has a juggle one in a corner) and kung lou(just one decent one) mortal kombat is a very, very slow non-combo based fighter
terminallyCapricious
.... What? Slow. I'll buy it. But MK has a SICK combo system.
am i going insane or is the audio a little off?
Can anyone answer me why no one choices to use sub zero??
mk9 is much beter then mkx.mkx to cartoonish
Mkx too cartoonish same can be said about mk9
Daniels Tebernieks How is Mkx to cartoonish? Da fuck?
TranscendedArrow well babalitys are a start then there's those old mk skins for sector and cyrax
Wow, look at the spamming whiners here. Bunch of scrubs.
watching these guys makes me want to play the shit out of some mortal kombat ^_^
Kung Loa was so broke that he can do a damn Brutality at the end 😂
"That zoning game with Kenshi is so strong"
That zoning game with Kenshi is so cheap*
I don't care what anyone says. That isn't how fighting games are meant to be played. It's cheap and there's no honor in playing like that. Fight like a man (or woman) not a little kid.
Spamming/ zone spamming make for incredibly boring fights to watch.
1 no one forces you to watch.
2 It is part of the game.
3 it has no honor to begin with it is just fighting game.
Rishi Jusia zoner noob confirmed
Dk Soulstice quit whining and just adapt you cry baby
Dk Soulstice welcome to MK9-
Oh c'mon! Kenshi can be screwed if you use a character with a teleport move, if you only use 1 character then go eat a ball of fuck!
I came here to see how mechanically clunky this game was (and man does it look worse than I remember), but I couldn't help but notice all the BLATANTLY obvious casual players commenting about "spamming" and "corner cheesing." First off, if you use either of those terms, you're literally telling everyone with a brain you don't know what you're talking about. If you think zoning is "spamming" you clearly don't know there are numerous ways around zoning, and it's up to YOU as a player to learn them. And if all of you honestly think you could even get out of pools in any fighting game at any major, you're horribly wrong. These guys were top notch in this game, and remain top notch in MKX. Whether or not zoning is boring is subjective. That does not mean, however, that it takes 0 skill. If you think that, try to zone against any pro player. Zoning isn't spamming, it's not "dishonorable" to zone, and there's no such thing as "corner cheesing." And to all the people like "upplsuckimcool16," please never touch a fighting game again. If the FGC is gonna bring in casual players, we want casuals that are willing to learn, not those who run around yelling "CHEAP SPAMMERS!"
+Clearzova I had someone in MKX just sit in one spot and block low with D'Vorah the second the fight started. If i tried to get in, they would just uppercut me, then sit and block again. So, i sat back with kitana and threw fans until they died from chip damage.
Not to mention i've been corner trapped against both a highly skilled Tremor, and a less than impressive Goro player who just mashed the punch button like they were trying to jump start their heart.
bottom line is, people need to be able to adapt. I beat the Goro and D'Vorah players, but didn't get a single win against the Tremor. I respected all the fights. That's what makes fighting games fun...getting over something obvious to snatch up the win in the end.
+Iceman 2020 There are a ton of ways to get in against crouch blocking. Just walk in with an over head, or run in and block cancel to bait his uppercut and punish. Kitana has plenty of options especially.
ikr like the buttons aren't there for decoration haha
This is going to be interesting.
Nice dreams! I ll love to see them play it too =)
i'm starting to think that mortal kombat players are only spammers
Adapt>Complain
I'm starting to think you can't fucking play at all. Or you're 15.
Cool Prizes

zoning is not spamming, learn to play

The stryker fight was just brutal to watch cuz u knew he was walking into a slaughter house
Can someone please tell me why people in tournaments doesn't play Jade character ? Because it's so bad ? or it's too good and is removed from tournaments as Kratos for being OP ?
Kenshi is straight up cheap, Idgaf what anyone says a he is easily the cheapest character. He's like noob but better, I don't enjoy watching a person spam 2 moves to win a match I'm sorry that you guys do.
ES PARA PC ????????
I love their awkward pause as they realise the camera cut to them.
WOOOOOOOOW OHHHHHHHHHHHH WOOOOOOW!!!
You're not being a prick. You're explaining it pretty well. It just pisses me off when people practice hard to learn the ins and outs of a character, and them someone who just throws projectiles manages to make it to the top 8. To me, it spits in the face of competition and skill.
Going against M2 Dave must feel like fighting your younger sibling in a fighting game who only spams the same move that they know
what is a "respect"? Is it taking notice of the opponents advantage?
tracklist?
I'd play this game, but I can't find a good controller setting on the fightstick that feels right.
That's how you play the character, its not cheap at all. In fact, to properly keep out one of these top level guys you have to be pretty much on point with your spacing and timing.
finally a sonya player shout out! He fine too!!
what kind of controller is perfect legend using?
