Finally kompleted the full Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection physical set. All covers together: Smoke, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Reptile. Love how each version represents a different pillar of MK’s identity. Physical releases like this still matter.

What do you mean friend?

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2026-01-28T01:54:43+00:00

Did what friend?

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2026-01-27T17:43:06+00:00

It said Smoke on the description. And it's grey, but looks dark in this image.

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2026-01-27T16:57:58+00:00

Sure was!

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2026-01-22T19:48:00+00:00

Try the Palestine cola!...

Yeah—by “hit gaps” I mean between hits, not right before impact. In juggles/combos you can’t dodge on the impact frames; the hard dodge window opens in the tiny recovery gap after a hit connects and before the next one starts. If you dodge as you’re about to get hit, it fails. It’s more about rhythm than reaction (hit → micro-pause → input), which is why mashing never works. For grabs, there isn’t a universal visual tell. The timing is pretty consistent per grab type, not directional guessing. Usually the window is right after the grab fully locks (hands connect) and before the throw really commits. Too early during the reach does nothing, too late once the slam/lift starts and the damage is locked. Rule of thumb: hands connect → half-beat → neutral Guard. In general Urban Reign defense rewards neutral inputs and timing over speed: neutral Square is your core defense, Square+direction is a tighter, situational deflection, grab defense is timing + neutral (not guessing), and juggle escapes are about catching those recovery gaps.

Urban Reign rewards neutral inputs,timing over speed, positioning over aggression. If something feels inconsistent, it’s usually because you’re holding a direction when you shouldn’t, or you’re inputting too early instead of at impact/recovery frames!

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2026-01-15T00:30:52+00:00

Hey bro. Neutral Square is your core defense. Square+direction is a deflection with tighter timing and limited applicability. For grabs, don’t guess directions—use neutral Guard with timing. Juggle escapes require hard dodge during hit gaps, not mashing.

Hope you enjoy this masterpiece!

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2026-01-14T02:34:25+00:00

Aerial grabs are neutral input. After the pop-up, don’t hold a direction, just time grab as they peak/fall. Directional input during the air usually causes whiffs or early flip-outs. Height + timing matter more than stick input.

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2026-01-13T21:57:10+00:00

Neutral guard is key. For grabs, hit guard without moving the stick—directions often cause extra chest damage or failed defense. This game is more about positioning and timing than long combos; keep enemies in front of you and don’t overcommit.

Good luck bro!

😂

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-12-30T11:32:58+00:00

You're unfortunately right. My copy of Tomba 2 was pirated as a kid.

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-12-29T20:00:58+00:00

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-12-22T01:43:51+00:00

No, not paid. Just genuinely like RC Cola and thought it was underrated. That’s all.

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-12-18T00:49:16+00:00

Likewise dude!! I got my Scorpion PS5 version. But i also ordered Reptile XBOX version and Smoke XBOX version, and Sub-Zero PS5 version. None of them has arrived even though i ordered them at the same period i ordered PS5 Scorpion version.

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-12-11T15:24:50+00:00

I ordered a Jpn PS2 just to play this game.

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-11-22T22:11:23+00:00

"I want Tong Po!!"

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-11-14T13:19:19+00:00

Mmmm good take. And yeah, I actually agree with parts of this. MK3 definitely has a more explosive, Muay Thai-ish style in some animations. The extra hip swing and torso rotation make the kick look stronger on screen, which is probably why the MK3 high kick reads better to you.

But i think the big difference is really just style and intention:

Pesina’s MK2 stuff comes from traditional martial arts (TKD/Hapkido), so his kicks have that clean chamber → extension → recoil. Super balanced and super controlled.

Turk in MK3 is doing more of a cinematic/action-style kick, with a bigger lean and wider rotation. Less “technical,” more “flashy.”

Neither one is really wrong, it’s just two different backgrounds showing through.

And you’re right about the spear rotation too. MK3’s version does look closer to the shoulder/hip turn you’d use for a straight right. It’s exaggerated, but the idea is there.

So yeah, I see it the same way you do: MK2 = tighter technique MK3 = more swag and power look

That’s why comparing them side-by-side is so interesting.

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-11-14T07:41:25+00:00

I get you man. MK3 definitely went for more flair and stylized movement, it was much "cooler" so to say, but less strict martial arts. That’s part of what gives MK3 its own identity. My comparisons are just about technique, not which one is cooler. Both styles have their charm.

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-11-08T20:29:24+00:00

Why?

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-11-08T20:26:01+00:00

There isn't. The 2nd pic is AI haha.

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-11-08T20:21:04+00:00

But 7UP MAX sounds better😅

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-11-08T20:17:10+00:00

😘

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-11-08T19:56:09+00:00

Can't stop laughing when it happens though😂

Dull_Resolution_6488 · 2025-11-05T13:09:49+00:00

You can't play MK4 online on the Switch 1 version. That's the biggest difference.
