Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

[TinMan]

On the matter of KAK (hehe..), how are moves they distributed? Is every fighter only given a set amt of special moves + a fighting style + weapon style? Not that I'm not interested in the aesthetic of my fighter, but I'm trying to see if there's some broken (or borken.. whatever) combo out there that I can abuse..

Each character is limited to 5 special moves, combat moves for each attack button, combat moves for (down+each attack button), then a certain set of combo's that you can personalize with a finisher of your choosing. It's the same basic scenerio for the weapon also.

I don't know what you mean by "broken combo" though.

By any chance is it the original green ranger? If so I'd love to see a few pics of how to make him. Also if there can only be one created character on a profile, could you just create a bunch of different proflies to get around that?

You can create quite a few profiles and create characters on each one, in fact I'm in the process of completing Konquest on my second profile right now so I can create Aaragorn!

Sweet, thanks dude. By broken I meant if I'd be able to pull off infinite (or close to) combos or something starting w/ a special moves (ice ball or whatnot) and doing sick damage after

KAK character combos are definitely broken. Players online take advantage of it. They start off with a special move (usually the teleport moves) and do combos very close to infinite. They are 11-12 hit combos that do 30%+ damage. It's very easy to abuse.

How the hell is that close to infinite or broken? 12 hits for 30% damage is about 6-7 more hits than you actually need and is more about style than anything else. Even normal characters have combos like that

And god bless the new combo system. The only thing MK games were missing was combo flexibility and now that's taken care of.

I'm gonna be on this game for a long time

Sorry, but I've seen people that have never even played that Soul Caliber before pick up a control and roll out 10 hit combo's

Uh.....no you didn't. There's no such thing as a 10-hit combo in Soul Calibur. You'd be lucky to get over 3 hits. And as for Street Fighter (especially Third Strike) it is, quite literally, impossible to button mash your way to any combo. Only a handful of characters even have chain combos to begin with and those combos are preset. Button mashing won't work, the game system simply won't register a frenzy of button inputs. All of the other combos in the game require very specific positioning, timing and button inputs.

Don't belittle another game when you obviously don't know the first thing about how they play. Making up crap about how you "saw" things that don't exist in those games is a pretty weak arguement

I agree. For some reason, I'm really enjoying this game (more than I normally would in an MK game).

But, I also have VF4: Evolution, Tekken 5, Soul Calibur 3, and Guilty Gear XX# Reload (or something like that), so I'm always switching off (I'm really good at all of them except VF4, though I practice.)

If the person was using Maxi, he may have an overexaggerated point, but other than that, you're right.

Button Smashing in SFIII: Third Strike? You've got to be kidding me. Let me play that punk, I would love an easy win.

Guilty Gear........ Uhh....... Yeah, button-smashing works in that series. (if you're lucky, and you aren't against an expert)

Virtua Fighter...... It'd be a cold day in hell if you could button-smash in that game (and win against an expert). If you want a game that is button-smasher free, this is it. Dead or Alive is the opposite in many cases, IMO. (Jann Lee = button-smasher's best friend).

Wow, I guess you sure told me. :rolleyes:

I really don't care man, I've tried playing those games and I don't like the game play. My brother is actually really good at Soul Caliber 2 and 3 (he's played the crap out of them) and I've watched people that have never played the games pick up a control and manage to kick him around relatively bad. I can't stand that crap. So you can take your ornery defense elsewhere cause I really could care less what your opinion is since you want to represent it in a dickish way.

Then your brother obviously isn't the SC master you think he is if he's getting schooled by people who can barely hold a controller. Don't tell me that was the entire basis of your arguement?

Would you feel better if I put a bunch of hearts, happy faces and e-hugs at the end of my post to spare your feelings?

I don't think I was being particularly mean just then. All I did was tell you not to support your arguements with exaggerated "facts" you're obviously making up (and are just flat-out wrong). I assumed you could handle me just saying that to you without loading my posts with sappy crap, but hey....

never let it be said that Xero Kaiser doesn't care [/hug]

I created a custom character of Guile last night. It was really easy to do. There are tons of options to make recognizable characters. I wish you could save more than one per profile, but I think it's just a lot of fun to create new characters. Even if I don't intend to actually play as them.

I made Thor last night. Simonson Thor with the beard! (No pansy, clean-shaven Kirby Thor on my Playstation.)

I also made a passable Buscema Hercules.

Eh, I beg to differ, I've watched him beat the game on the hardest difficulty with at least a few characters, so he has to be at least pretty good at the game. Besides, I think Tekken is a bit better example of the button masher than SC is, so I suppose I should have used that as my basis for the arguement.

Actually I consider that just as condescending and dickish. I just think the way you wrote it came off as being snarky, condescending and dickish. I won't hold it against you though as long as you don't always repsond like that, I'm not that kinda person. So I'm willing to have a conversation with you.

Both games are terrible examples due to the counter hit system.

There is no fighting game in existance where button mashing will accomplish anything unless you're playing against another button masher. But that's like watching two retards trying to roll a tire uphill anyway.

Well...that was kinda the point. I'm just like that.

On a sidenote....what's with CBR and the word "snarky"? I've never heard anyone say that word in my entire life before I came here. freaks.

I disagree thoroughly on this point. There is only one person I have ever played in Mortal Kombat that could rival me at any level, and thats my brother. I could play Deadly Alliance on max difficulty and finish Quan Chi/Shang Tsung (whichever was the final battle) with two flawless victories in a row. I am NO slouch at those games. But I have had people that never played before get close to beating me (or at least beat me in one round) because I underestimated the randomness of button mashing. All I'm saying is that I've seen a lot accomplished by button mashing in Tekken and SC, not to mention that I don't like the control response in either one or the side stepping.

I dunno, this is the only place I've heard it myself and just become accustomed to using it.

Well first someone will have to fix the title of this thread. that game is called Mortal Kombat: Armageddon not Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Annihilation is the crapy movie that went after the frist Mortal Kombat movie.

But anyways as for "Mortal Kombat: Armageddon" I like this game. There are some parts I don't like, small things. But I still had fun with this game. I played most of the other Mortal Kombat games. Well the first 3 or 4 games anyways. Man, did I ever lose a lot in those games.:rolleyes: I played up to Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I never played Mortal Kombat 4 do to the fact that it was hard for me to even get a copy of that game at that time. I did how ever played a little of Deadly Alliance and never did like that game or cared for it. So after that I put that away and never looked at Deadly Alliance ever agin. As for Deception I never really did cared for that one. But Armageddon... I don't know why but I like this one. It brings me back to the old days of Mortal Kombat when it was good and so was the stories. Some of the special moves are still hard to do. But being able to play all the old Characters in this game... Well that's just fun. And the Kreate a Fighter... What can I say but Hole S**t! I mean Kreate a Fighter is just fun. And to get on the internet and have a custom fighters beat the living crap out of other custom fighters... Well there's no word for that. but Armageddon is fun to play. They fixed most of the combos and special moves so you don't have to press so many buttons to make a combo or special move. As for Kreate a Fighter like I said it's just fun. I like all the customs you can do for your fighter like dress them up, make custom combos and special moves... But there are somethings wrong here to. Like the Dress them up. They need to make some more cloths of them that look better then the ones that got... So look good... There can be some improvements there. And shaping of the fighter and all is good... But I'd like a little more control with that. I can't color the fighter's eyebrows. they stay black no matter what. But the special moves in the Kreate a Fighter... I would at lest like to say what buttons to press. I like the F,F,X one but the other two just suck. But besides that I still have fun playing this game. And I still love the Kreate a Fighter part no matter what. And I love putting my Kreate a Fighter on the internet even that I keep getting my a** kicked all over the place.:rolleyes: Yea, I know I suck. But I do like the custom combos. That helps a lot. And so many unlockables in this game it just keeps getting funer to play.:D

[Nomad]

I love Mk:A. Having an fing blast right now.
But sorry, Tinman, Thee is NO WAY you know ANYTHING about the fighting genre. This is a matter of fact. There is no way your brother is an expert at Soul Calibur. I swear to god that you've never played this game if you think it's a button masher. As much as I love Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Street Fighter, and Soul Calibur are faaaar better as a system. I don't care how "snarky" I sound, you are talking out of your @$$.

[Leslie Lee III]

My dog chewed on the controller once and got a 30 hit combo in Tekken dude. Swear to god.
