Didn't see a discussion, so I thought I'd make a thread.

So I just bought Mortal Kombat today. Been 1 hour and already beat ladder mode and some online matches. It's the first game I've bought new since Red Dead last year.

Anyway, anyone play? Favorite characters? It's pretty much the best fighting IMO. Since MK2.

Also, if you do a beginner ladder match, you can get an easy flawless victory on Shao Khan with Lui Kang. Just get some distance and spam lower fireballs lol when he taunts, just do a flying dragon kick to shut him up.

Yeah, I love this game too. My favorite character would have to be Scorpion. Among my friends, I'm absolutely unbeatable with him, and I rarely lose online. My basic strategy is to keep teleporting to the other side of the screen and get in a few hits before teleporting back. If they're too far away I either pull them in with the chain, or burn them where they stand. (I forget the name of the moves, I only remember the button sequences. )

Great strategy. Bet that pisses alot of people off lol

I always use so called "cheap" moves if I want to win. The game built them in might as well use em. Nightwolfs charge is a good one. His only good attack though haha.

Oh it definitely pisses people off, but I don't spam the same moves over and over, so I guess it's still fair.

If for some reason I can't use Scorpion, I'd either use Sub Zero and just constantly freeze people, or choose Raiden as I know he also has the teleportation capability, so the same strategy would work.

my 3 best character are.

1.Stryker
2.Kabal
3.Kenshi

i am a very good Mileena though too.

I'm digging Reptile and Baraka.

Was sort of disappointed in Johnny Cage. He was my favorite in MK2 but not as cool this time around.

My faves are.
1: Stryker.
2:Scorpion.
3: Smoke.
4: Noob Saibot.
5: Kitana.
and finally.
6: Jade.

The game was quite a lot of fun for awhile, but it just lacked content for me personally. After about a month I got pretty bored of it. Noob and Scorpion were probably my favorites for online matches.

Also, do tons of people still play as Easymac online? That bastard pissed me off to no end.

Smoke and Ermac are my favorites.

Sub-Zero seemed kinda under powered in this game to me. Usually I can kick ass with him, but now it is not the case.

Maybe...

I'm planning on maining Ermac, and I'm planning on learning Stryker as well. Whenever my friends and I [censored] around, I pick Sheeva and do her moon stomp (Down Down Up). It gets pretty hilarious when you have Sheeva doubles only using that.

I main:

Sheeva
Reptile
Quan Chi
Ermac

I tried the other ninja's and they were all either stupidly cheap (Noob/scorpion/smoke) or a bit weak (sub-zero). Jax is pretty fun too.

Favorite character is Sheeva. She is so slow though, but if I land a hit it's pretty much over.
