    Question How do I fight Superman?

    So I realized I don't even have a game plan against Superman anymore . What do I do to open him up? I feel like he's always either holding back or jumping back do I throw out a flying uppercut and hope that it would hit, jump one what? Haven't felt this lost since I first started fighting...

    Another podcast talking about MK movie

    If you guys want to hear what non-MK people thought of the MK movie take a listen to a recent episode of the podcast How Did This Get Made? If you are unfamiliar it is a podcast that reviews bad, usually older movies. 90% of the time they are just making fun of the movie. Think of it like MST3k...

    How strictly should TO's enforce tournament rules? And Jim's version of events from Frosty Faustings

    I want to tell a little about myself and the story from yesterday's Frosty Fostings from my perspective but if you don't care about that skip everything below and just answer these questions: How strictly do you feel a tournament organizer/bracket runner should enforce the rules? If there is a...

    Question Why aren't you a top player/what is your skill level with your main?

    Top players dominate the discussion here, rightfully so, but no need for it to be exclusively about them. What I want here is an honest assessment from non-top players on why they are at the skill level they are at, what is that level, what would it take to change it, where are your weakest...

    Question What are the character groups?

    So you know how you hear that Noob is a less effective version of Freddy or that Nightwolf is a rent-a-center Jax? I want to see a complete list of the characters grouped like this. I don't mean which is better, we have 1000 of those threads, just the play style groups. I thought about doing my...

    Just read the MLG Rules, they don't list invincible glitch as banned

    I doubt it will be an issue but I noticed they don't have a specific ban in the rules for the invincibility glitch. What do you think, will it end up being an issue at some point in the tournament? The player doing it may be a dick for doing it but as far as I can tell from their rules it...

    Combo lists and %

    I'm still working on this project and will edit the first post but I'd really like to get a good list out there of Freddy's combos. I feel like there are so few of us that we may just think everyone knows them already but I recently came to this character and am still figuring them out. Any...

    Training Mode Wakeup

    So I know that the wakeup attack in training mode doesn't pay attention to meter. But just recently noticed that Kung Lao will do both his enhanced and regular wakeups. Any other characters switch between both?

    Thoughts & Observations about Freddy

    I'm going to jump all around on this post but I just want to put out what I've noticed as well as ask for any feedback anyone has. I've been a Sub-Zero main since the beginning but a few weeks ago decided I was going to try and switch and ended up deciding on Freddy. Been very happy, but still...

    Punishing attack teleports

    So we all know when we block Scorpion or Sektor's teleport they roll into a ball and can be punished. I know if you let them land you can full punish but are there any good options to punish while they are in the air? For example with Sub-Zero he can do f4~freeze and it freezes them standing not...

    Enhanced lightening, stricter timing?

    Is the input for enhanced lightening a smaller window than other enhanced specials? I feel like I get regular lightening instead of enhanced quite often where as any other special I never have that issue. FYI - I mean d,b,1+block just to be clear.

    Match Footage The Good, the Bad, and the Scrubby - Evaluate my Sub-Zero

    Hey, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on my matches from Frosty Faustings. My first set was not recorded but I lost to the Raiden (not PL) player that made top 8 (I made a bad mistake in the third round of the third match, I had him and let it slip) Below are my other fights. Tell me...

    Question Xray scales after unlinked d4, what is happening?

    So I'm in practice mode and noticed that if you d4 then xray it doesn't link, combo is still 3 hits and computer can block it, but for some reason the % damage drops. A naked unfrozen xray from Sub-Zero does 33% but if you d4 (3,1 also work) then cancel that into xray the xray will drop to 32%...

    Tech Spreadsheet of combo damage %

    I wanted to make sure I had a better understanding of what combos did what % in what situations so I made the below linked sheet. Basically I list the # of hits and damage% for doing the basic combo then list out each way to modify it (so using a Jump In Punch, starting frozen etc. and every...

    Strategy Attacks for opponents frozen on ground

    In the rare cases where you get an opponent frozen on the ground so that high attacks whiff is there a good combo to use? Usually I end up using Forward 4, 1+2 but it doesn't set anything up and the recovery on 1+2 is slow enough that I think a few wakeup attacks can actually punish it (though I...

    Canceling bufferd special moves.

    http://shoryuken.com/f345/canceling-bufferd-special-moves-272380/ Apologies if I'm stealing someone's thunder with this. I saw this on SRK and wanted to know if someone here has verified it. I'm not at home now but I definitely want to test on Ermac and Kabal. Posted by: Captain Ryu...

    Explanation of Kombat Codes/Test Your Luck

    Has anyone made a guide with what all the kombat codes and test your luck options actually do. For example in test your luck there is one called Gun Shy and I know I get frozen sometimes but I'm not sure why. Is it only projectile attacks? Most are self explanatory I know but still I'd like to...
