MK3 sucks. MKII owns you.

I'm glad you feel great about yourself, fabrizio. But bragging that you're a "MASTER" at something isn't of anyone's concern, it just makes you feel proud.

Happy gaming.

What? UMK3 outshines 'em all.

MKII was still a much bigger leap from MK1 than UMK3 was from MKII.

True, but UMK3 owns for sure. All of the Characters to date, battleplans, all in good clothes, all moves. MK2 was revolutionary, bu it isn't better. If MK3 wasn't so far away, you would be able to see all of the up close deatils as in MK2.

Here's how I rank the Mortal Kombat games:

Mortal Kombat II (other than the next two, it was just perfect)
Mortal Kombat: Deception (It's just so damn gorgeous)
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance (It was unlike any other before it)
Mortal Kombat I (it has to be up here for starting it all)
Mortal Kombat Trilogy (what can I say, it had it all)
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (was really good)
Mortal Kombat 3 (also very good, but just lacking. i didn't like the fatalities all that much either)
Mortal Kombat 4 (it was a good start for 3D. but...)

Notice I really didn't have anything bad to say about any of them. They were all revolutionary in their own way. But, when the rubber meets the road, I just have much more fun playing MKII than any of the others. Who knows? The heart wants what the heart wants.

Fact is the CPU is broken in almost all of the MKs, although I'm not sure about the 3D games because I don't ever play them. The CPU is cheap and grueling to beat in MK2 if you don't know how to be cheap back. Try jumping backwards from an opponent and they usually jump forward where you can easily give them a roundhouse or an uppercut, that's a good start. I can beat this game on "very hard" without losing a round, and I don't even consider myself an expert. But honestly, this game should be know for it's two-player mode which is a hell of a time!
UMK3 and Trilogy have some truely awful CPU. You can walk back and forth a whole round and your opponent won't even attack!

Well projectiles work, but you have to usually coax your opponent into one or throw one into a combo.

As far as UMK3's CPU is concerned I think it's much more frustrating and unfair than MKII's. I usually end up starting a 1-player game with a variety of characters and then by the time I get to the third or fourth opponent I give in and use a cheap character like Smoke or Sub-Zero (which the computer has a difficult time avoiding their porjectiles).

I only played 7 of the games. My top few favorites were 1, 2, Trilogy and Armageddon, and my least favorite was Mythologies: Sub-Zero. I don't remember Deadly Silence and Deception but I do remember one of them having a chessboard.
