Ok... time for my first blathering about MK2...

It took a little while to get used to the handling of the characters on this
one... they're a little looser than MK, which is for the better I think.
It's also a little easier to hit (it's much easier knocking people out of the
air, for example... a weak point for MK1,  in my opinio

One thing that I hoped they would include, but really didn't, was an
intelligent computer opponent.  There are lots of you who say that the machine
is too hard, but I think it's not so much hard, as it is cheap.  I have 
found SO many traps you can get the computer into, it makes playing the
game silly- the women pose a problem only because they can walk up and throw
you (repeatedly) so fast.  Samurai Showdown is a great computer opponent- I
was hoping MK2 would be as well...

I've only seen one original character fatality posted, Scorpion... I wonder
if the other original characters are also similar to their original 
fatalities, with a *slight* difference...  we did manage to figure out 
Baraka's on our own, but thanks for the postings, guys :)

Question is, now where's the secret stuff :)  There's the obvious ? square...
and is that a black square next to Kitana's box?  Also, no one seems to
have noticed yet, but in the test mode, there's this thing called 'Shawn
attacks'...  (I'm not one to say that this means anything, but hey, I'm
just pointing it out that its there :) )

I haven't noticed anything that changes from one screen to the next, like 
the moon appearances in MK.  I have gotten several double flawlesses with
fatalities (Baraka, who else) without using block, but nothing secret...
I wonder if maybe there have to be certain conditions or something... or maybe
secret things haven't even been put in yet... or maybe there's nothing 
secret at all (we talk like there HAS to be something secret :) )  Of course,
it still doesn't explain the ? square...
Ah well... the game is still quite young...

As for character preferences so far.... my old favorite was Scoripion, but
he lacks compared to some of the new moves and speed... I'm learning to
appreciate Liu Kang and Reptile... Liu can be vicious! He can deliver an
almost unstoppable barrage... and Kitana also has some evil combos as well
(I'm not the best with her, but I usually end up fighting this kid who uses
her well... I win, of course, but not by much usually :) )

Well, that's enough blathering for now....   'later!!!
