Author	Topic: For the mods
Shujinkydink Posts: 1,519 Registered: May '06	Date Posted: 2/22/08 11:45pm Subject: For the mods
	This was recently broughten up in a recent MK conversation. I was wondering if you could shine some light on the situation. I was told that "free throws" were purposely left in the game. I was wondering if this was true and if not, to what extent. Your co-operation in this matter is appreciated -----signature----- Gamertag:Shujinkydink [URL=http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shujinkyresizedav7kv6.jpg][IMG http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/183/shuj inkyresizedav7kv6.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

	I don't know what you mean by "free throws," but you're asking the wrong people. We as Mods are volunteers and we have no knowledge of the "behind the scenes" production of any Midway games. We work for the forums, not Midway itself. -----signature----- #1 Jade Fan #2 Tanya Fan...that #1 title goes to OnlyTanyaFan Proud Supporter of all MK Females R.I.P. Michael 8/29/58-6/25/09

	The best thing I can tell you to do is to contact Tech Support (not the Tech Support Board) with your question. That's what I would do. -----signature----- #1 Jade Fan #2 Tanya Fan...that #1 title goes to OnlyTanyaFan Proud Supporter of all MK Females R.I.P. Michael 8/29/58-6/25/09

	By "free throws" do you mean throw moves are unblockable or something? The term you're using makes no sense. -----signature----- "Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." - Proverbs 17:28 XBL/PSN: dv8withn8

	Maybe he means moves that give you a free hit, like Scorpion's spear or Sub-Zero's freeze move. -----signature----- Join The Paradigm; An Organization Only For The Elite Of Users. PM Me To Join Over 30 Have Already Joined Us, Be A Part Of The Growing Revolution

	no im talking about moves such as Scorpions Y hit. It stuns them allowing you to grab them without them being able to duck or parry. Nitara's A in Kama Stance is another Example. There were rumors this was discovered by accident but they left it in intentionally. I was just wondering if you have any information regarding these rumors -----signature----- Gamertag:Shujinkydink [URL=http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shujinkyresizedav7kv6.jpg][IMG http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/183/shuj inkyresizedav7kv6.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

	One of many oversights it seems. The free-throws aren't that bad, unless they're overused. Then there's the air cancel glitch which can be used to keep someone in the air for an unblockable series of hits, up to 100 percent damage. Then there's the moving-before-the-round-glitch and the parry-cancel glitch. I'll quote a moderator at MKO, who said the testers for MKD and MKA should be sent a copy of Shakespear's "much-ado-about-nothing". Some glitches from MKD reappeared in MKA. I'd say don't bother with the tech support, the quote can be said about them as well. I've tried that route and it's not much in terms of "support". I've even been directed to Gamespy.com, not much help there either. Just let the "oversights" go until MK8, hopefully it won't have any, or as many, glitches. I'm not raising my hopes on that one. I don't understand why Midway doesn't learn from other companies "abuse it and lose it" policy in which glitch abusers get banned. Has anyone actually read the rules of online play in the back of the manual? It's funny how none of the rules are never followed and the people at Midway have yet to act on them. I still haven't forgotten the cancellation of the bios, either. Wow, not much positive things to say about Midway lately EDIT: While on youtube, I found a new video of a glitch involving Sub-Zero impaling the opponent, which works online and off. I'm surprised they found yet another glitch. -----signature----- The past is history Tomorrow is a mystery Today is a gift That is why it's called the present.

	I wasnt really concerned about it. I was just curious whether it was intentional or not is all -----signature----- Gamertag:Shujinkydink [URL=http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shujinkyresizedav7kv6.jpg][IMG http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/183/shuj inkyresizedav7kv6.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

	I highly doubt those glitch moves were intentionally put in there or it would have been in the strategy guides, for one thing. I'd say this was the fault of the testers, who did a really crappy job. I hope Midway doesn't have the same testers for MK8, a monkey with a magnifying glass could have done a better job. -----signature----- The past is history Tomorrow is a mystery Today is a gift That is why it's called the present.
