Guest Johnson1620 Report post Posted January 14, 2003 I always rent games before I buy them. So I rented MKDV today and after one night of playing I'm still not sure if I'll but it. I like the fact that all the old characters are back, but the one thing that pisses me off is that Scorpian can't do hi spear. Or at least i can't. if anyone knows feel free to tell me. The gameplay is pretty good, kind of takes some time to get those combos down though. So what did you guys think about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EQ Report post Posted January 14, 2003 He definately has the spear move. It's no longer back, back low punch though. It's either back, forward and one of the punch buttons or forward, back and a punch button. You should check the move list. I think you can get it by pausing the game.

Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted January 14, 2003 Yep, he's got it alright. There's a nice delay after it hits before he yanks them back towards him, makes it better, I think. He also uses the spear in his fatality. Personally I think it's the best Mortal Kombat yet, and I'm a big fan of the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest EQ Report post Posted January 14, 2003 You must have missed it or something man. He's definately got the move. On PS2, I think it's back, forward, square. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Moves --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spear --- Back, Forward, Square Summon Hellfire --- Down, Back, Triangle Backflip Kick --- Forward, Back, X --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fatality --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back, Back, Down, Back, O - Harpoon Decapitation I got that from this FAQ Those are the PS2 controls. I played it for XBOX, and I am positive that he has it in that version as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted January 14, 2003 You have to scroll through the movelists for each of his fighting styles, and there will be another one for special moves. It's back, forward, x, on the X-Box. edit: beat me to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Sakura Report post Posted January 15, 2003 His spear Fatality in MK II was a lot cooler than the spear Fatality in MKDA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Man in Blak Report post Posted January 18, 2003 Meh. I really couldn't get into Deadly Alliance, even with novel new moves like characters puking to make their enemies slip and slide. The different Martial Arts for each character are a wee bit unbalanced and, all in all, there's nothing that this game does that Soul Calibur or Dead or Alive hasn't done better, IMO. It is a good sign for the MK franchise, though, which had been running on fumes since MK2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Respect The 'Taker Report post Posted January 19, 2003 ** SPOILER COMING ** ** Don't say i didnt warn you! ** I cannot believe they FUCKING KILLED Lui/Liu/Let's just call him Fred, Kang. In every former MK game i've ripped it up as him and you can only imagine my disgust when i saw him murdered in the opening sequence. Bah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted January 19, 2003 Spoiler Liu Kang will be back one way or another. If you beat the game with Quan Chi, he kills Kano and Shang Tsung, all of Shang's souls are released, and Liu's soul enters Kano. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted January 19, 2003 SPOILER The Game finishes seem to suggest that Fred will be back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Man in Blak Report post Posted January 19, 2003 RESPONSE TO SPOILER That's really fucking sad because, honestly, that was a total highlight for me to see one of the most unbalanced characters in fighting game history get picked off in the opening cinema. Fred slurps the jizz bowl dry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EQ Report post Posted January 19, 2003 I always hated Fred. He was so cheap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted January 19, 2003 spoiler discussion when Fred does return, I'm sure he will be much different than he was before. Maybe in the body of Kano (though that's a little out there, even for the MK series). Kano's one of my favorite characters though, I hope that ending isn't true.

Guest EQ Report post Posted January 19, 2003 Doesn't it also depend on who the designers decide the winner of this MK was anyway? SPOILER Cause if Quan Chi doesn't win the game, then Fred's soul is never released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted January 19, 2003 Spoiler It looks as though this time multiple ending will be true, because several of them are interrelated. Like Nitara, Cyrax, and Reptile's endings all rely on each other, and would have no effect on whoever won the tournament. However, Quan Chi's, Shang Tsung's and Kano's can't all be true, as they contradict each other. So I'm hoping Quan Chi's isn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest EQ Report post Posted January 20, 2003 Well Scorpion's dead isn't he? I'm sure if they want Fred back in the next game, they'll pull some bullshit either way to bring him back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
