Shao Khan is a cheating bastard, Hat's off is hella difficult, Absolute Chaos is hilarious, and it's a pretty good way to get decent with two relatively unused characters.
And did anyone else notice that when you have two characters, the one that isn't out slowly regens health? I'm not sure if that's just in the Shaolin Climax challenge or not, but it made it a lot easier.

All the Shaolin Challenge Tower missions have the health regen added in, it's not normally a feature of tag kombat.

PS3 = Kratos but PSN = down :(
Xbox 360 = ?? But you can play online
Is the joystick version worth the $90 premium? It looks like its MK specific. I liked the fightsticks for SF4 and Blazblue but those I even use with Mame on PC.

I'd say if you can get a good 8-way joystick controller, do so. I feel that current gen controllers (both joystick and d-pad) are too 'all around' for MC. It's alright with series' like Soul Caliber, where rotations are part of the moves lists, but when you need precise up-down-back-forward taps, having bouncy joysticks or sticky, inaccurate d-pads can be the difference between winning and losing.

Do you see a Combo by the name of Lost Souls, and it is performed by Back (Y or Triangle), (X or Square), Forward (Y or Triangle).
DO NOT PULL OFF THE COMBO IF IT IS NOT THERE ALREADY.
We don't know if it is a Secret Combo or not, some of us have it in our Movelist, others don't.
I tested this out, the move was in the command list right off the bat.

"Improved netcode - NetherRealm Studios has heard the cries of pain and frustration over the caustic netcode that makes Mortal Kombat hardly playable online. Tom Brady said that a fix is coming and will help making online play more bearable. While online play in fighting games is not the absolute best way to play due to even the smallest amount of lag disrupting various combos from being executed, it does improve the life of a game with its wealth of competitors available to play against.
Fixing the bugs - Those that have played Mortal Kombat quite a bit may have seen a variety of glitches. Some of the glitches include the parry glitch done by Liu Kang and Johnny Cage that allows their parry moves to be used again and again while they crouch and block, and Sonya’s block infinite that can locked down an opponent after she does certain moves. While the patch on 5/20 did do some changes to help prevent these glitches from being used, this upcoming patch will actually fix the problems.
DLC - Tom Brady did confirm that Skarlet will be available in the next patch along with other DLC extras like costumes. When asked about future DLC characters aside from the confirmed Kenish and Skarlet, he was reluctant to speak further about possible characters released in the future."
Also, all Retro Costumes are going to be available for 400 M$ points soon.

My interest in it sort of died when I played it by myself for 3 weeks.
Well there was a video of one of the new DLC characters. But I think most secrets have been found.
I'd imgaine playing a fighting game by yourself would get old. Get a couple of friends over or head online.

By the time the PSN was fixed, I pretty much got bummed out about the game. Well I have some time off from work this summer, so hopefully I will get my interest back soon.

Skarlet is looking brutal, and I still play the game, mostly because I am still trying to figure out my main. Kicking between Baraka and Kabal. But for the most part, Fails of the Weak, RvB, and Acheivement Horse made me move back to Reach.

Also, there is the Xbox Season Pass coming up; pay 1200 M$P, and you get all the characters for "free", or you can pay 400M$P per character. So basically, buy them all early and you get one character free.
Sektor and Cyrax Retro Skins come free with Skarlet or the Compatability Pack that allows you to play against her for free.
