Mortal Kombat 9 Goodness!

[Tawmis]

Started story mode. I made it up to the fight with Kitana and Jade. Man those tag team fights are tough when you're on your own! Story is quite good.

Yes, they are. And tell me when you get to Shao Kahn...

[Tawmis]

Whoo hoo! Beat Shao Kahn - and then proceeded to beat the game in story mode!

Still quite a bit to unlock in the Krypt. So I will be playing it off and on for that.

[Tawmis]

I am not one for the typical ranting, raving, cussing, swearing and immature remarks - but this - this was just too good. As someone who only recently beat MK9 - I can't put into words my own frustrations of fighting Shao Kahn the first time with Liu Kang... But it might have been pretty close to this...

Strange that there are no classic skins for Noob and Smoke.

That's a good point... I wonder if they are in there somewhere?
Certainly didn't show either of them in the video...
And stranger still is that the XBL avatars, Classic Smoke is one of the available avatars.

For MI, and any others playing Mk9.

Note, I did not make this.

But no Kratos for the PS3 version?

LOL! Person who made it is probably an X360 player, like myself.

@ Shoa Kahn

Actually, I figured out a sweet strategy with the Liu Kang vs Shoa Kahn fight which I won rather easily. It's the Raiden fight that's FREAKING IMPOSSIBLE.

People say spam the lower fireball with Lui Kang. That didn't work for me. In the end, it was the forward PUNCH+KICK combo repeatedly pressed as FAST as I could, that allowed me to beat him.

With Raiden, it was a lot of the same, for me. I didn't use any powers, because they took too much time to try to do and Shao Kahn doesn't give you time.

[MusicallyInspired]

With Liu Kang I spammed fire balls from afar while ducking and jumping his spear and hammer projectiles and just straight dodged everything else. Then when he stopped to taunt I'd do my flying kick (powered if I had the energy bars) and the X-Ray as well if possible.

I finally managed to beat him with Raiden. I stayed afar, ducked the spears and when he threw his hammer or taunted I'd teleport and uppercut. That's it. He's still dangerous and hard to avoid but it's possible and a lot easier. That's how I beat him. If i was backed into a corner I'd use my thunder dive in the air to escape.

[Tawmis]

So then you have beat story mode?

What's a bummer is - if you do story mode - victories get you a lot of koins. After you beat story mode, the amount of koins you get is trivial. So now I have it on the easiest settings, and just doing regular fights (against the PC) on the ladder, and so that I can get as many flawless victories as possible (since that's 1,000 Koins right there) just so I can unlock the rest of the Krypt.

I am amused that I tried Scorpions fatality once and accidentally unlocked his babyality...
