To validate that MKOA battled STB a second time, here is the link to when our rematch was discussed and took place.

STB vs MKOA Round 2 Clan battle thread!
http://www.mortalkombatunited.com/sh...-battle-thread!


Now, in this link (read if you'd like) you will see that this entire ordeal has been discussed and dealt with.


MKOA~vs~STB LAST MAN STANDING issue that needs to be discussed....
http://www.mortalkombatunited.com/sh...o-be-discussed




That was posted June 27, 2011. Now I know that this issue has been discussed, thus we should infact be 12-1. My only issue with that at the time was that Milky Situation never finished his battle because he had to leave. Technically, he DQ'ed himself without trying too. That's besides the point. So, when I decided to revive my clan, at the time (which was a little over a month ago) I had our record set at 9-1. Kisabuza & NEO GOD GOKU are also the clan leaders for MKOA. Though I created it, they also have a say in what goes on in MKOA. There was a bit of a disagreement which lead to this issue. The ROUND 2 MKOA vs STB battle.

The agreement was to simply omit that loss due to the victory not being justified. At this time I want to publicly retract that and relinquish whatever issues we have cost regarding STB. I made a big deal out of nothing and YES, I am well aware of me saying on numerous occasions that we are undefeated. Though this has been established, right now, from my mouth I am saying that we are 12-1 with our only lost being to the STB Clan. What I am hoping for is a fresh start and a ROUND 3 with STB to settle whatever differences we have with one another. Also, this will end the nearly year long 1-1 tale. Have a great day and again, my deepest apologies. ]]> STB President Khaos http://www.mortalkombatunited.com/showthread.php?20699-Clearing-up-the-MKOA-STB-issues-PLEASE-READ <![CDATA[Clearing up the MKOA, STB issues...[PLEASE READ]]]> http://www.mortalkombatunited.com/showthread.php?20698-Clearing-up-the-MKOA-STB-issues-PLEASE-READ&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 07:03:27 GMT Post has been moved to: http://www.mortalkombatunited.com/showthread.php?20699-Clearing-up-the-MKOA-STB-issues-PLEASE-READ Post has been moved to:

I had just played MK9 yesterday morning, I think. It ran fine as usual. A little while ago, I went to play again. I quickly go to Practice Mode like usual, and it freezes before the character screen comes up. I reset the Xbox. I do the same thing only this time I actually make it to the character screen. But it locked up again just after. I reset again. This time, I hesitate slightly at the Main Title screen; I press start and it locks up during the "Checking For Online Updates" disclaimer.

The Xbox seems to work fine itself. No problems browsing the Dashboard and I tested an XBLA game that loaded and ran fine. I went back to MK9 and didn't touch anything this time. All of the credit screens came and went smooth. The Main Title screen came out and there was no issue. It even went into a gameplay demo and never froze.

When the Main Title screen came up again, I pressed start, "Checking For Online Updates" came and went like normal... then I just sat on the Main Menu and didn't touch anything. Sure enough, in about as much time as it takes me to quickly go to Practice Mode, the game locked up again.

So I'm not sure what's up. Kind of peculiar that it seems to lock up in about the same amount of time each attempt regardless of what I do. There is a very light superficial scratch on the disc, but I'm pretty sure that's been there for a long time. And I have the game installed on my Xbox anyway, so that shouldn't matter, right?

Any suggestions, let me know. ]]> Xbox Live ChaosTheory http://www.mortalkombatunited.com/showthread.php?20695-MK9-Locking-Up-on-Xbox MK9...Back Then and Now http://www.mortalkombatunited.com/showthread.php?20694-MK9-Back-Then-and-Now&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 22:45:15 GMT This thread is to reflect back on the early days on MK9.

Back Then: I used many characters : smoke, jade, kratos, ermac, kitana, mileena, rain, johnny cage, Liu Kang, kenshi, and scorpion.
I swore I had the best kitana, yet I was ending combos with jk ass smash lol
I CRIED spam whenever someone used a move more than twice.
The 1st time I fought a Kabal that did ndc, I raged quit and sent him bate mail because I was convinced he used a cheat code or something
I hated fighting Nightwolf because I didn't know how to punish the shoulder charge and I always blocked it
I ended Cage combos with flip/shadow kick, mostly ex.

Now: I main kitana, mileena, and a newly added Sonya. Still have a pretty good jade, sindel, cage and Liu.
The word SPAM is irrelevant to me.

[ 1 ] Basic Information

[ 1.01 ] Basic Attacks

Front Punch
Input: :fp:
Damage: 3% on hit, 1% on block.
Collision: H.

Damage: 5% on hit, 2% on block.
Collision: H.
Execution: 11 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: 0 / 0 frames.
Description: Eventhough is 1 frame slower than :fp: it is a good anti-air tool.

Front Kick
Input: :fk:
Damage: 5% on hit, 2% on block.
Collision: H (sp mid).
Execution: 9 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +5 / -12 frames.
Description: Rain's fastest standing attack and special-cancelable, making it a good punish option. It lacks in range though. Unsafe on block, which means it has to be turned into Spill Over string on that scenario (read ahead).

Back Kick
Input: :bk:
Damage: 5% on hit, 2% on block.
Collision: H (sp mid).
Execution: 10 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +3 / -4 frames.
Description: The cornerstone of Rain's rushdown game. This is to Rain what f3 is to Cage. Has good range, good speed, is special-cancelable, leads to pressure and to combos. Can be made safe on block by canceling into Super Kick (SK).

Crouching Front Punch
Input: :d:+:fp:
Damage: 2% on hit, below 1% on block.
Collision: H (sp mid).
Execution: 6 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +1 / -13 frames.
Description: Rain's fastest down poke. Another good anti-air tool. Pretty standard regarding frame advantage.

Uppercut

Damage: 12% on hit, 2% on block.
Collision: H.
Execution: 14 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +37 / +4 frames.

Crouching Front Kick
Input: :d:+:fk:
Damage: 1% on hit, below 1% on block.
Collision: H.
Execution: 7 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: -2 / -12 frames.
Description: Like most :d:+:fk: it lowers Rain's hitbox. Would be a good poking tool if it weren't for the fact it has negative advantage.

Crouching Back Kick
Input: :d:+:bk:
Damage: 3% on hit, below 1% on block.
Collision: H.
Execution: 12 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +12 / 0 frames.
Description: Standard :d:+:bk: poke. Essential in Rain's rushdown and footsies game.

Axe Hand
Input: :l:+:fp:
Damage: 5% on hit, 2% on block.
Collision: L.
Execution: 22 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: 0 / -5 frames.
Description: A standalone low hitting attack that is not only very slow, but cannot be canceled into any special move. Pretty much useless.

Side Swipe
Input: :l:+:bp:
Damage: 3% on hit, 1% on block.
Collision: H (sp mid).
Execution: 17 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +1 / -13 frames.
Description: Shouldn't be used by itself, but as part of the Watery Grave and Waterfall mix up strings. Scales down damage in combos.

Stepping Sidekick
Input: :l:+:fk:
Damage: 11% on hit, 2% on block.
Collision: H (sp mid).
Hit / Block Advantage: +42 / -7 frames.
Execution: 13 frames.
Description: Good anti-air with nice reach. Should be used from inside sweep range.

Sweep
Input: :l:+:bk:
Damage: 7% on hit, 2% on block.
Collision: L.
Execution: 16 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +17 / -6 frames.
Description: Unsafe sweep rarely used.

Throw
Input: :fp:+:fk:
Damage: 12%.
Collision: T.
Execution: 10 frames.
Hit Advantage: +21 frames.
Description: One of the best throws in the game. It has the particular trait of not letting the opponent know what kind of throw (forward or backward) was inputted which helps with the oki and pressure game.

[ 1.02 ] Combo Strings

It Pours
Input: :fp: :fp:
Damage: 9% on hit, 3% on block.
Collision: H, H (sp mid).
Execution: 10 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +4 / -8 frames.
Description: String that can be used as part of Rain's Super Kick Cancels (SKC). Can be made safe on block by canceling into SK. The first part whiffs on crouching opponents, the second part can hit them up close.

Right as Rain
Input: :fp: :bp: :r:+:bk:
Damage: 11% on hit, 4% on block.
Collision: H, H, H (sp mid).
Execution: 10 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +72 / -1 frames.
Description: Combo starter that launches on the last hit and is safe on block. Better used from a jumping punch to jail them in standing position. The last part can hit crouching opponents up close.

Dehydrate
Input: :bp: :bk:
Damage: 11% on hit, 4% on block.
Collision: H, H (sp mid).
Execution: 11 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +5 / 0 frames.
Description: Good 2-hit string that can be used on occasion as part of Rain's pressure. Is special-cancelable but the special move won't combo.

Watery Grave
Input: :l:+:bp: :fk:
Damage: 11% on hit, 3% on block.
Collision: H (sp mid), L.
Execution: 17 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +28 / -7 frames.
Description: 2-hit string that ends in a low hit. Since it is unsafe on block, it is best used once the opponent has been trained to block high from Waterfall (read next).

Waterfall
Input: :l:+:bp: :fp:+:bp:
Damage: 9% on hit, 3% on block.
Collision: H (sp mid), M.
Execution: 17 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +52 / -4 frames.
Description: 2-hit forward moving string that ends in an overhead hit, acts as a combo starter and launches. It is safe on block due to the distance it creates between Rain and the opponent. Fundamental for Rain's footsies from sweep range.

Spill Over
Input: :fk: :fk: :bk:
Damage: 13% on hit, 5% on block.
Collision: H (sp mid), H, H (sp mid).
Execution: 9 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +45 / -3 frames.
Description: The :fk: :fk: part is special-cancelable which helps as a combo starter. As a whole it is safe on block due to the distance it creates between Rain and the opponent. However, on block :fk: and :fk: :fk: can't be made safe by canceling into Super Kick because there's a 15/12 frame gap respectively; in other words, any poke can hit Rain before SK connects.

Moisturize Me
Input: :bk: :fk: :l:+:bk:
Damage: 17% on hit, 6% on block.
Collision: H (sp mid), H (sp mid), H (sp mid).
Execution: 10 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: -1 / -3 frames.
Description: The :bk: :fk: part is special-cancelable and it used as Rain's de facto combo starter. Part of Rain's rushdown/pressure game. Can be made completely safe on block by canceling into SK.

[ 1.03 ] Special Moves

Waterport
Input: :d: :u:
Damage: N/A.
Collision: N/A.
Execution: 19 frames (air, minimum), 28 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: N/A.
Wake up: Yes.
Meter Buidling: 17 repetitions build 1 bar of super meter.
Description: Standard teleport wherein Rain goes to the ground and pops out behind the opponent. Rain can be hit on the way down, and can be hit airborne on his way up. Slow in comparison to others, which forces Rain to use it only for certain situations: on reaction to a projectile, as a combo ender, to faint a jump in.

Super Kick
Input: :d: :l:+:bk:
Damage: 7% on hit, 2% on block.
Collision: H (sp mid).
Execution: 30 frames (no hold, minimum), 92 frames (hold, maximum).
Hit / Block Advantage: +70 / -3 frames.
Wake up: No.
Meter Buidling: 17 repetitions build 1 bar of super meter.
Description: Rain's strategy revolves around this special move be it as a combo linker, pressure enabler or meter builiding tool. By itself acts a combo starter, can be used as well mid combo to extend them. Possess 3 important traits: can be delayed (by holding down 4), and after 23 frames of delay it can be dash canceled or special canceled (using another special move). Of special interest is the dash cancel capability allowing Rain to pressure, chip the opponent with a barrage of attacks; this will be described on greater detail in section [ 2.07 ].

Water Bubble
Input: :d: :r:+:fk:
Damage: N/A.
Collision: H.
Execution: 26 frames, 52 frames (fullscreen).
Hit / Block Advantage: +12-27 / -35 frames.
Wake up: No.
Meter Buidling: 17 repetitions build 1 bar of super meter.
Description: A very slow and very unsafe projectile used almost exclusively to extend combos. It has a behavior similar to that of Cyrax's Net hitting an airborne opponent, where it drops the opponent in standing position depriving them of their wake ups. Prior to the drop Rain can control for a brief time at what height and what distance (front or behind) to drop the opponent. This move is key for Rain to reset and setup the opponent to engage in his pressure game. Whiffs if the opponent neutral crouches.

Geyser Kick
Input: :d: :l:+:fk:
Damage: 12% on hit, 2% on block.
Collision: H (sp mid).
Execution: 17 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +61 / -10 frames.
Wake up: Yes.
Meter Buidling: 17 repetitions build 1 bar of super meter.
Description: A vertically moving physical attack. Its usage is primarily as a combo ender and as a wake up attack, but can be used as well to prevent cross ups with the right read. Easily punishable on whiff and punishable too on block.

Lightning
Input: :d: :l:+:bp:
Damage: 3% on hit, 1% on block.
Collision: H (sp mid).
Execution: 24 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +88 / -23 frames.
Wake up: Yes.
Meter Buidling: 17 repetitions build 1 bar of super meter.
Description: Rain's primary zoning tool, also a combo starter and linker. It has a very thin hitbox which makes it easy for it to whiff against certain attacks or mid combo. From full screen can be used safely to check the opponent and somewhat zone them. Using by itself mid range inwards entails the risk of getting punished with a full combo. In combos it can auto-correct the opponent position for further juggling.

Aqua Splash
Input: :l: :r:+:fp:
Damage: 8% on hit, 2% on block.
Collision: H.
Execution: 20 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: -1 / -12 frames.
Wake up: Yes.
Meter Buidling: 17 repetitions build 1 bar of super meter.
Description: The equivalent of Sektor's Flame Burner, but with shorter range and bigger pushback on hit. Its uses range from combo ender, footsies tool to good wake up option. Unsafe on block.

Water Boost
Input: :r: :d: :l:+:fp:
Damage: N/A.
Collision: N/A.
Execution: 53 frames (duration).
Hit / Block Advantage: N/A.
Wake up: No.
Meter Buidling: 17 repetitions build 1 bar of super meter.
Description: Grants a damage boost (aproximately 1-2% more) for about 4 seconds while disabling blocking. The boost ends if Rain hits or a combo is dropped. Can be setup after a successful Lightning. However, even with breaker and/or armor at hand, forfeiting the ability to block in exchange for a damage bonus is not worth the trouble.

[ 1.04 ] Enhanced Special Moves

Aqua-Port
Input: :d: :u:+:blk:
Damage: 13% on hit, 2% on block.
Collision: H (sp mid), H (sp mid).
Execution: 19 frames (air, minimum), 28 frames.
Hit / Block Advantage: +54 / -12 frames.

Description: Improves on the regular version by adding 2 hits of armor and a shorter cancel window (from 23 to 12 frames). Has the upside of retaining the armor even when canceled.

[ 2 ] Advanced Information

[ 2.01 ] Wake Ups

Rain possess a wide range of options on wake up that have already been identified in the previous sections. Here the most useful will be described.

Geyser Kick
Rain’s common wake up move. Good for sending the opponent away when they try to start pressure and to stop cross up attempts. Nevertheless, Rain can be hit out of it by some low hitting attacks. If baited it can be punished with a full combo.

Aqua Splash
A wake up rarely used despite how good it can be. Provides good invisibility to halt most pressure/rushdown approaches putting the opponent still within range for Rain’s footsies game. Punished by full combo if jumped over.

Aqua-Port
Used to get a guaranteed escape from the corner thanks to the armor and switch sides at the cost of meter.

Thermal Spring
A good substitute for Aqua-Port if its input is a hindrance in the heat of the moment.

Aqua Blast
Just like Aqua-Port and Thermal Spring it helps stop opposing attacks with certainty. Though it possesses the same weakness to cross ups as the regular version.

[ 2.02 ] Anti-Airs

Rain has good anti-air tools to deal with all the jump-in variations out there. Two of them lead to a combo. They are to be described next.

Front Punch
At 10 frames Rain’s standing jab attack has good enough speed to stop jumping opponents almost on reaction. The range also allows him to take a small step back before anti-airing. Leads to an easy combo punish. His de facto anti-air.

Back Punch
Even at 11 frames it works for anti-airing. Its hitbox works for jump ins done from inside sweep range. Just like Front Punch it lets Rain do a combo follow up.

Crouching Front Punch
The anti-air tool to use on reaction and to stop cross ups with the right timming. Despite the small and short hitbox, is a very good anti-air that can be linked into a combo.

Geyser Kick
Generic anti-air that requires a read to use effectively because of its 17 frames for execution. It is a poor alternative against regular jump ins because it doesn’t deal the damage Rain can dish out with an anti-air combo from his other options and puts the opponent out of Rain’s footsies. However, if used properly to stop a cross up, then it can be followed up with a combo.
