Then when you die, the enemy will be ultra easy again. It's a problem with the game, for sure. It happens even if you put it on the easiest difficulty setting.

[Ack]

I'd say it is a general problem with the MK series. I've heard this complaint about weird difficulty issues for several in the series.

Truth, MK AI is straight borked.

Most the MK games suck like that. MK1 wasn't an uptick until well up the ladder, then you get hit, then again on Goro but that wasn't bad and MK2 fairly well the same. The stuff after they sucker you in with a match (quarter) for the first fight, then school the crap out of you the next match or two later so you're goaded by pride into keep feeding it money until you can beat it.

SF4 is like that too, the AI on it is just like some mystical psychic on normal no less after like the 3rd or 4th fight, suddenly it's like the computer is an android sitting next to you with one eyeball on your hands and the other on what it's doing so it can see anything you start like you're telegraphing it and it perfectly counters mid swing and pounds your ass into dust. SF3, the Alphas and before were not like that. I hope SF5 isn't shitty like that or I'm done with the franchise.

No, you guys don't get it. MK difficulty issues aside... MK3 is broken. I don't know if it's exclusive to the SNES port, or all versions of the game (I've only really played MK3 on SNES, as it's not my favorite in the series).

Let's say you put it on "very easy" and start playing. The match will be comparable to any of the earlier MK games on this difficulty setting. But then on your second or third opponent, all of a sudden the computer gets INSANELY difficult. Is seriously as if the game changed the difficulty setting without you knowing! Comparable to hard or very hard. So, you die, continue, select a character, start the match again. Now your opponent will JUST BE STANDING THERE waiting for you to beat them up. It's absolutely broken.

I don't know if the game does this to fuck with you for playing on very easy, or if the game is just broken, but no other MK difficulty is like this.

The only broken part about this relative to the rest of the series would be the opponent letting you beat him after you continue. The rest of it is par for the course. MK2, the AI gives you two rounds and then destroys you unless you're cheap. I know, I beat it last year because I'm cheap.

Ugh... I have "fond" memories of Mortal Kombat II's AI. Once you get to a certain point on the ladder your effective move-set is reduced to jump kick.

Hmm why am I starting to remember this too... I only ever played the PC version of it back in my seedy oldwarez days. I know I could get fairly deep into it with a small set of characters, basically SZ, Scorpion, LK and Kung Lao without going cheapo on it. I do remember eventually going into trips and kicks with many others I'd try almost immediately.

Either way MK3 was terrible and it had flaws which is where things got ironed out in UMK3. But I quit on the franchise there anyway as it sucked. Once they added that run button and then turned it into a near button mashing bitchslapping game kind of aping the Killer Instinct combo racking abuse I walked away from it. I prefer a slight less bit of speed like MK1+2 had or the SF2 titles where you could be more tactical, and I never liked using a block button either.

You just have to learn to begin pressing your special move commands while still in mid-air, because eventually you'll end up in a jump war with the AI.
