I like how they actually use the tournament mode code, we should also start doing this because most characters build meter faster than others and if those character gets the firts hit its really hard to punish them afterwards

I agree, does anyone else know what that code deoes other than no first hit meter?

^thats basically what it does, I wish it also eliminated meter gain from blocked moves. This would be perfect for johnny cage and kabal match ups

Easiest way to get people to read or look at something is to include the words russian, anime and party. Good stuff though and I agree we should adopt the tournament mode code.

They should show more of the Russian girls, they're awesome!

Some information: These were guys from other community, not from Moscow Community. But There are all at fighting.ru

It also disables foreground objects (which means we would no longer need to ban the streets) and you will no longer get a the random toasty.

The first hit bonus is an interesting, positive gameplay system. There is no reason to disable it so that ruins tournament mode code.

Absolutely agreed. I think the most interesting and intense part about MK is the first 2 seconds of every match. Do you block? Jump out? Dash in and get a quick low poke? Go for big reward with a jump in punch? Throw out a special? Duck? Neutral jump punch? Dash block? Walk backwards? Etc?

The first hit meter bonus is what makes the very first decision you make in every match you play one of the most important.

If you haven't been playing Soul Calibur V you should check it out. Basically... Round 1 FIGHT - and both players start swinging with reckless abandon. I know it is early in that game's life, but the beginning of the match just doesn't feel the way it should. From the very beginning of MK9's lifespan, it was known... you need to be tactical in getting that first hit. To me, that is what makes MK9 the most exciting game to watch. I LOVE watching how different players begin their matches.

For those who want to disable the foreground objects without the tournament code, its 001, 001:

HOWEVER, I tested it yesterday and it doesn't make the Street stage any better. However, the other stages are better, so it might be worth it
