Tekken and VF have had that for years and years already. MK:A's practice mode is truly pathetic. It basically has no options whatsoever.

Another idea that i would like to add to this,would be sort of like Tekken's Practice options. Maybe make it so you can set your opponents character to a dummy and then have the commands to do different things. The reason for this would be if there was a certain move or combo that you or your opponent didnt understand and therefore would be able to see it first then go ahead and try it on each other.

THIS!

Awesome point, Karate.

Man... we need to have infinite health to practice !!!

Example: when you practice a huge combo who kiil your opponent,
you need to return to the select screen every 2 minutes...

That's really boring !!!

You understand what i'm talking about ??

great idea nest!!! only problem is i couldnt pay someone to practice with me online!!! ive had to beg for months and still aint got it!!

good for people who dont hate check i suppose

later

Well I dunno about the practice mode online thing, the whole thing about the practice mode is that...well it is endless lol but now one thing I always liked to do in Tekken and Soul Cal, was crank up the handicap in VS mode so we could fight longer with the other players, insead of having 100% life, you'd start with 150% I always enjoyed doing it that way cause, well I jus want to play, I dont wanna spend alot of time choosing this and that, jus play. When I played Tekken 3, we used to play 2 player practice, we're play with the same fighters untill we got bored of playing lol

Like Dave said, MK has no real options in practice mode, but I guess we're lucky to have practice mode in MKA lol...This might be a stupid question but, I never played MKD, MKDA, MKSM...did any one of those even have a practice mode?

i did not play a lot too... but i think MKD and MKDA had a practice mode

it was the same of MKA with NO options !!

and i think MKSM didn't had any practice mode... but i'm not sure.

Dude,Forget about the "Online" Practice mode. Its not going to happen. You thinking that it would,is just silly. NEST is talking about offline only.

p.s. You dont need combos to win. All you need is to adapt to your opponents style and counter there every move.



And i thank you.

Yeah, this would be great to use to develop and practice your set up moves. Say, you set the training dummy to "Always attack after being swept/knocked down/ etc" or "Always block after... whatever". If there are variable situations you can set for your training dummy, you can see what might work in a particular situation.

As for the 2 player practice, thinking about Tekken and other fighting games, I hope it's included in MK8. It's a practical thing to have to cultivate the stuff you developed in the trainings session to 2 player play. It'll give you a chance to see if whatever you've come up with will actually work against another live player, beit that it's offline of course. And this might have more people develop into good players instead of the scores of people that don't know what they're doing on MKA. I mean, there are just too many inexperienced players online that aren't really good and fall victim too rank whores who prey upon them for their rank.

Very nice idea NEST1.
