I went to hell and came back alive.:P I've finally beaten challenge 251, after countless tries. Next up i came across challenges 269 and 275, and i couldn't believe what i had ahead of me. I was ready to give in and bypass a challenge for the first time, even before trying them. Unbelievable... but i guess i wasn't ready to give up and got to work. After some sweat and tears i beat them and i'm currently on challenge 291.:D Not too long until i beat this tower, something i thought i would never do. So, are you guys playing the challenge tower or not? What challenge are you currently on and have any of you guys beaten challenge 300 yet?lusitanogamer

Not even close. I'm on 67 but I plan to climb up a bit since I'm off today.

There are 16 chapters I believe. So the story mode is 12-15 hours. I find it interesting that it is longer than a FPS game lol.

You are right, it is 16 chapters, and is longer than most FPSs this gen.

Good luck and have fun.:) BTW, challenge 300 is beaten and the tower is complete.:D The last challenge was actually easier than expected. With the right tactic, it can easily be beaten.:)

You will be greatly disappointed like how I was with Reptile. I guess I liked the look of the MK2 or 3 Reptile. The classic costume was just too baggy.

Finished Story mode the other day and I wish it would have lasted longer than 16 chapters but that's because the story was really well done and I couldn't get enough. And I am on challenge 87 in the tower. So much content! this is how fighting games should be done! the offline/SP content in just as important as MP and 2P.

[spoiler] Here's hoping for MK10 Scorpion and Nob realise they were just pwns manipulated by Quan Chi, that freak needs to get what he deserves in MK10 by Noob and Scorpion. lol. But I don't think he was the main player as I heard many say, I mean he was under orders by Shinnok and it's not like Quan Chi manipulated Shao Khan. It's just that his power hunger was his downfall. Plus I hated seeing so many characters die in the story, I know they will still be there as playable characters for the next MK but will they be in the story? :( [/spoiler]

The way I beat him was using Raiden's teleport. I would go close up to him, and just when he's about to hit me with his hammer, I would teleport behind him and uppercut that sob.

I like both Subby and Cyber Subby. I prefer human Subby because I've pretty much mastered him since the demo :P But Cyber does have some good combos. You can master him to be different from everyone else :P

But when you actually beat it, you'll let out a roar of victory. Which always feels good. Try not to break your controller until then.

Teleport + Uppercut. Time it properly because he can't turn while attacking. You'll see what I mean if you practice it. Also use his back + forward + X/A move or whatever it is that makes him fly across the room in case you get a little to close to the wall. Mofo loves to juggle you.

The last Shao Khan has f***** me like no other. There's a difference between being hard and just being plain f****** unfair. How does this get put in the game? The fact that he can still attack you while you hit him is bull****. **** this game.

Liu Kang vs. Shao Khan - Keep your distance, low fireball spam, dragon kick and or x-ray whenever Khan taunts and pray he doesn't throw that damn stun hammer. Raiden vs. Shao Khan - Keep your distance, whenever Khan starts to move to attack teleport behind him and uppercut and just repeat. Anybody vs. Goro or Kintaro - Keep your distance(Goro and Kintaro x-ray does 53% damage, so stay away from them). Whenever they attack with a stomp high air kick them. Jump high kick spam and x-ray when meter gets full. /thread

Great game, shame about the absolutely awful cheating AI. The bosses aren't so bad, they just aren't any fun to play. But the seventh or so ladder match when a character like Mileena with a teleport reads your button inputs and intercepts absolutely everything you do while doing her own moves at a speed which is not possible for a human player to replicate? That's just a load of crap. Great game, but the AI in SP mode is it's one major flaw.
