Enjoy!

*bows in awe of Konqrr's greatness*

What you guys are doing is a great thing, and I know how hard it is to make a combo movie of this calibur...all props are for you guys.

Keep up the great work!

For the next vid, I'll have to remove the first one to make space. I only have 50MB, but unlimited bandwidth. It comes with my monthly ISP service

I wish Comcast offered that, I'd put it up on there. I think they offer like 5 megs, and there's probably a cap on bandwidth lol.

Matt

Another thing I wish is that people on an MK board would care about a video like this...
: \

Maybe you could get Darque Bishop or someone to put it on the main page, it'd get some attention then.

Also, you should edit your first post's subject line to read "Released!" instead of
"Soon..." So when people see it on the forum, they will know it's out.

Well if anyone can get in touch with the people who run this site, that would be great, I think they pretty much cater to the new stuff though, I think fans that come here are less interested in classic MK than people at something like shoryuken.com where there is a generalized fan base for fighting games. You have people here who love MKDA and hate every other MK, and then people on srk.com who have never played MK but still check out the video.

Matt

I could do u the favor of advertising it on my signature since i go to boards like MKWarehouse or Gumeleon and soon I will join ChiefThunder's boards and im always acive too. Just let me know.

Go to General Mortal Kombat.

I posted the video on other sites but I hardly got any replies. So enjoy reading them

why is it called umk3 when it has mkt on it?

cool vid btw

I don't usually post in this forum, but I feel I have to. First, you suck. So do your combos. I could kill you. I could kill you with any character at any time in any game.

...


haha.. Just kidding. You fucking own.

Scorpio:

Out of all the combos in the video, the majority are from UMK3, the MKT combos are just a bonus and are only done with characters who appeared in PSX MKT exclusively. Not a single combo was done with any member of the original cast of UMK3 on any version other than UMK3 Arcade.

Hyuga:

Thanks! =)


Matt

It's videos like this one that reminds me why I (used to) love MK so much

Damn, did you see Cyrax's combo??

7 hits = 99% damage = FUCK!

Yeah we discovered the way to get insane damage, is to get as few hits as possible. For instance Jade's 83% combo is only 6 hits, but 3 hits are roundhouses, and 3 roundhouses in one combo = ridiculous.

Matt

The combos are mad, but you all seem to be missing one thing. IT is bullshit like those combos that make UMK3 such a bad game. 99% of those combos are there because the game is a broken, untested piece of shit. They should have only been in an alpha version of the game.

This is exactly why no one likes Mortal Kombat, you can do cheap ass crap that just isn't in the leading Japanese fighting games because they play test the stuff before releasing it.

Those combos = unfinished game.

MK has always been an "unfinished" game, since MK1. They were always released, then upgraded mid-cycle...ie revisions. The only exception to this was MKDA.

Deadlines are krap...they should do it like Rare and release the game when it's done for christs sake. Play test the hell outta it.

If no one likes MK, why does this site have about 3000+ members?

There are problems with many many fighting games. Thats why roll canceling is doable in most versions of CvS2, why the custom combo groove in that game is so abused, and why anything is possible in MvC2. Other capcom gems include Xmen vs Street Fighter which is still the brokest joint I know.

What it comes down to is, UMK3 was definately good enough for high level play. The skilled players at the game know this. There are glaring examples of things that should not have been allowed, mainly Kung Lao's Spin corner infinite, but other then that I consider UMK3 a nicely balanced game. I honestly think the only way you could watch this vid and say that this breaks the game in any way that matters is if you have no comprehension of the difficulty of these combos. I doubt any of these will be seen in actual gameplay, cause they were created just for show and to exploit the loopholes.

Maybe if there were more breaks in the combo system that could be used during actual gameplay, like the Iron Man inf from MvC2 I'd understand. But, there just aren't that many.

So, even though I was a little disheartened by some of the things that ended up being possible with this combo vid, I still feel this is a tight, fun, well crafted arcade game when it comes to actual gameplay between skilled players.

But thats all just my opinion :)

To sum it up, the statement "IT is bullshit like those combos that make UMK3 such a bad game" has no basis in reality.

You'll never ever see any one of those combos ever done to you, not ever, never. Think about the combo videos you see for MvC2 where they use at least 6 bars of super meter in training. You can't do that, and you can't cancel supers more than 3 times in MvC2. Those combos are for show, like these combos.

Those are small words, from a small being, trying to attack what it doesn't understand. The only premise we went for with the video was for the combos to be unblockable, like someone who makes a VS game video and might go for combos that are unrollable/untech hitable.

In the service pack, I can't even guarantee that every relaunch combo I got was legit because the timing is that difficult. I don't see the point in complaining about a game being bad from combos you've never seen before, and will never see other than in this video.
