Since there is no MK9 thread anymore and I figure a bunch of MK players play this, I thought I'd ask my question here. I have one challenge left in the tower and it's the last test you might challenge. Does anyone have any tips for it because I can not push those buttons fast enough. Also gently caress that Army of Shao Khan challenge.

IIRC you are supposed to mash all the face buttons simultaneously rather than mashing just one button at a time. I think that might be your problem.

I used my left thumb to push 'A' and 'X' and my right to puch 'Y' and 'B.' Then with any of my left over fingers, or even my leg I press the trigger when I think I got it.

Also, there is a Mortal Kombat Megathread. Title doesn't say MK9, but we talk about it there.

Question for anyone playing as or familiar with Grundy, what are his worst matchups?

I'm thinking it's likely Black Adam/Superman unless I'm missing something major. I need to know for..reasons.

Hawkgirl for obvious reasons and a good Deathstroke zoner that barely leaves you room to swamp hands between gunshots. The rest he can deal with.

Superman destroys Grundy so hard it's not even fair. Superman's trait makes all his moves break armor, so all of a sudden Grundy has 0 wakeup options other than backdash or guess high/low. Superman can also zone him super hard, and do the regular dumb superman stuff (breath pressure etc).

People in ranked ragequit like loving crazy against Hawkgirl. Not even newbies, these are level 25-35 trueskill people with thousands of matches. Mostly Nightwings and Aquamen.

I've played a lot of Ranked today and I've run across about 10 ragequits. One was from the #50-something in ranked. I also learned that you can throw Aquaman after his Super animation, but before he gets super armor for the overhead. I don't know if that's a commonly known thing, but I got hype when it happened!

It's so silly in a game like this where if you land a hit it's potentially 50%.

Hahaha yeah I've seen some amazing things happen re: supers winning or losing versus certain things. I also only recently realized that you can aim thrown interactables as a power character (down for close, away for far). I assumed it was common knowledge until Suddenblackout told me he didn't know either :eek:

I can never use Scorpion for more than one game in player matches because everyone'll either leave after the first fight or ragequit. Thanks for giving me a cool looking character that no one wants to fight against, NRS!

Word is MM is patched in tomorrow. I know Ed shot down the second season pass question but I'm still holding out hope for some reason.

All I've bothered with is single player so far. I can't even explain why I'm so pumped for new characters.

Because it's always fun to beat down a corrupt Superman?

Not all interactables allow power characters to choose the distance they throw them. I can't recall which ones off the top of my head but there's a video or a list out on the internet somewhere and someone who's not at work like me should probably find it and post it.

Also his 2P color is actually different from his 1P color! What a concept.

Confirmed: they never planned on having more than 4 DLC characters, but good sales made them want to keep on supporting the game with more DLC than initially planned and that's why there is no season 2 pass.

They also said they're weren't going to talk about the next character yet, whatever that "THING" could possibly be. The two hosts stressed that word in unison.

Hahaha, Nightwing doesn't even really have a hard time against Hawkgirl, at least imo. There's a couple Batman players on PSN that have over 1k wins and they can never figure out what to do against my lame-rear end zoning Nightwing, I swear that all online Batman players are braindead J2 spammers and when it doesn't work they have no idea what to do.

I'm enjoying Manhunter so far. He has a crazy number of options for any situation, but none of them are out right unfair like Scorpion's pain in the rear end teleport. My biggest problem is that I can't hit b3 to save my life after the MB martian toss. Which sucks since that's the key to a lot of his better combos.

It seems like they used a different announer voice for Martian Manhunter or they spead up the speakers voice a lot.

Why do people still think Scorpion's teleport is unfair :( I love fighting Scorp because it becomes a game of baiting him into teleports and predicting flames/chains. The entire game boils down to understanding the tools both you and your opponent have at your disposal and outpredicting them and Scorp makes that an easier endeavor than some. Or maybe I only feel that way because Flash gets a free 50% off of every missed teleport :shobon:
