I found one at an old pizza shop near me. Holy shit the enemy A.I. is ridiculous, I couldn't even beat Scorpion. The buttons were sticky too but was fun
get gud
Good for (you) anon
IT'S OFFICIALYOU SUCK
Mortal Kombat has such a retarded button layout
>>12103151>>12103160I thought the enemy A.I. was notoriously unfair
>>12103402Yes, it is. You can win but you have to learn how to cheese basically.
>>12101609Yeah I don't know anyone who actually beat the game on one of those quartermunchers, it was home console or bust.
>>12101609The computers in this game literally cheat. And not in just the "they read your inputs and respond" way. They literally do moves and combos that are impossible to do with a controller. Like being able to instantly use attacks that normally require holding a button for a couple seconds to charge. Or sometimes just being able to combo together moves that don't normally combo into each other.
>>12101609>The buttons were stickyHere's a tip anon. Play as the 2nd player. On any well used machine the 2nd player will typically have less worn buttons and joysticks.
>>12101609>arcade machine designed to be a quarter-muncherImagine my shock. Similar to this, you had Last Blade 2, Art of Fighting, Street Fighter 2 World Warrior, and Killer Instinct which were all unfair as shit too. That's the problem with arcade games in the late 80's and 90's. People were tired of unfair difficulty, which factored into why they went extinct in the West.
>>12103435This. Even on home console it's cheap AF. Killer instinct is superior on every way.
>>12101609>singleplayer mkjust say you don't have friends
>>12101609If the machine is not already in freeplay, you should look up and use the free game trick the devs revealed a few years ago.
>>12105504that only gives you a free game on mk3
>>12101609I had one of these in my basement growing up. Didn't play it as often as I could have though, so I'm still not that good lol
>>12103472>Last Blade 2I can consistently 1cc it on level 8 difficulty, so in the words of the poet: Git Gud
>>12103381Everything about Mortal Kombat is retarded
>>12106768you're right. I love it
>>12101609Mortal Kombat arcade boards had several different revisions. Each arcade board release had updates and bug fixes.Not even Mame has them all. To make matters worse, Mame dumped incorrectly and is buggy. The characters do not fight the same way as the arcade version. Even if the revisions are the supposedly same. Mame devs haven't bothered fixing it.That's why MK players who practice on Mame get their ass kicked when they try the real arcade version on an arcade cabinet.
>>12101609>The buttons were sticky tooHappened to me when I played MKII at galloping ghost. It ended up being some guy's cum that he had wiped all over everything.It was even in the coin slot.
>>12103381Fuck off gen z asian limp bizkit fan
>>12109243The only time I saw cum on one of the games at Galloping Ghost was because some guy was getting a handy from his gf out in their car. I saw them playing Dig Dug later. I went up to the game after they left. Everything she touched with her hands, the buttons and the joystick and the screen, all looked shiny like it was wet. I'm pretty sure it wasn't water too.
>>12109243I understood that reference.
>>12103479You can always spot an MK fan by the way they carry themselves. They're the lone wolfs, the dissenters, the outlaws of society. We're the bad boys of the fighting game community, and we don't have time for friends.Buy a Scorpion doll.
>>12114694>We're the bad boys of the fighting game community,This is how you view yourself. I used to run brackets at a large series of majors, and had to interact with the MK community. Largely you guys are fucking dorks. 40+ year old men (at the time) wearing decade old Bloodsport T-shirts and leather jackets that smell more like a pack of cigarettes than the pack itself, pants that reek of cat piss because your girlfriend has adopted 10+ cats, mumbling to yourself about how you shouldn't be sharing space with the anime games (and the mental gymnastics the community would jump through to tell me UMK3 was nothing like an anime game),Some of the community was chill but it was generally the ones who played Street Fighter or Marvel as well, the rest of you are actual fucking geeks.The worst part is that you faggots were the only ones we ever had to be briefed about because every 6 months one of you would throw a fit and post on TYM about how you were going to show up to x or y major with a gun to shoot someone because they didn't like your ninja character recolor or whatever.
>>12115004That's bullshit.Buy a Scorpion doll.
>>12105685How does that make any sense?
>>12101609Why were the buttons sticky? Is there something you need to tell us anon
>>12103151Get banned. And Get Wacked.It is a legit fact that these games were programmed to be scummy quarter munchers and people only played them for the hype n style factor.Not because substance or being good.
>>12103432Yeah, by cheating, and even most of the time it doesn't work fag, even WALKTROUGHS on YouTube admit to use save states.
>>12106617>Imma fucking liar>Imma fucking liar
>>12108969Does that include every single version available on collections since the PS2?
>>12101609If you want to see egregious input reading, put the difficulty level of a mortal kombat arcade game all the way up.It's insane.
>>12103472Very few arcade games are unfair.Mortal Kombat with the difficulty turned up is, Gauntlet is too (your health ticks down constantly unless you put more coins in).>why they went extinct in the West.They went extinct because of the amount of variety in genres fell off a cliff. By the mid to late 90s, 99% of games in an arcade were streetfighter clones. People got sick of fighting games.The other reason is that home console graphics caught up.Difficulty had nothing to do with it.
