This is really frustrating. I have done every single kombo challenge in the game accept for Shang Tsung's #8. - wich I have done perfectly over and over and f**** over again but it wont register. It looks exactly like the one in the video. Is my disc faulty?
Are you using player 1? I was using player 2 on the PS3 and it doesn't save or register if you do the kombo. Did all of Flash's kombos on player 2 then had to go them all again.
Can someone please help me? I'm doing #8 perfectly but I don't get the success message. All three flaming skulls connect at the end of the combo and the little "10 hit comb" message pops up but still nothing. I've done this over and over again. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
thanks dawg, got 9 and 10 today. you might remember me as buk50 on the midway boards, but i just found out today that because of those "spammer" threads i'm banned for life. it was mainly that homo quaddamage or somethin like that. anyway we had a talk about sayin fuck it and spammin to get the "25 wins" achievement, since you're the only cool dude off the boards i hope i don't run into you while gettin it. if so it will be the only time you'll be spammed by me,lol.
after a few hours of work I finaly got it the trick is pretty simple but hard to do...
you do the first slide kick, you wait about 0,1 sec you hold up-front you hit him pretty high and BEFORE he land you do the down-front and press circle when he finnaly touch the ground, this will cancel the landing animation... that why ppl alway had 5-6 hit in this combo because we was unable to hit him with the last slide kick
Okay, first drink a pot of coffee, and then listen up. You can actually do the low elbow a lot higher than you might think. In the video, Liu is at the top of my head when I do the move. Pause before the last hits. It is very important that you do NOT spam those hits, or the soul steal won't happen. You have to put that all in exactly right. Don't worry about your opponent being too low to the ground after the elbow, because your first punch brings him back up high enough to finish.
I hadn't seen your comments when I did no 9 but it sounds like I did it the same way you did!! Now if I could only get the elbow and 3 hit on no 10 to work .... :(
omg, i finally got #9 after a couple of hours trying. Got a strategy though. I punched almost before she hit the ground twice so that when the 3rd punch landed her body would be higher than the first two times.
I think most of us agree that Shang's #9 is the hardest combo in the game. I tried that jump hit everywhere - in the video, you can see I did it low. I've seen other videos on YouTube where it was high. I started about 8 steps from the wall, hoping to get a weird bounce from my opponent so I could land the last hit.
It looks to me like the last fireball has to hit your opponent before he hits the ground. Use the timing in the video - I don't really know how else to help you with this one.
I looked back at earlier comments I wrote, and apparently I had trouble with this one, also.
You have to do the body switch while your opponent is still in the air. The problem is, you can only do the body switch when you are standing on the ground.
So you have to hit triangle (Y) as close to the ground as you possibly can, so you land and have time to perform the switch before your opponent hits the ground.
I dunno. That's pretty much all there is to it! Are you waiting to start the switch until you hit the ground? I would try it both ways - try doing it right after you press Y (triangle), and also try doing it right when you touch the ground.
You know I was looking at how you did #9 and I swear that I do the move before he hits the ground but yet it register him hitting the ground and it doesn't count.. or I do it too soon and he lands behind me.... how'd you do it?
I wish I could tell you the magic answer, but it's just really hard. You can try pushing your opponent about 8 steps away from the wall, and then doing it. I think it might bump them slightly closer at the end of the combo, so they are easier to hit. If you are too close to the wall, it messes up the combo.
damnn im already 3 hours busy with shang tsung;s no 10, i cant do it, when i hit the with the low elbow, the guy fals on the ground so i cant continue... what i;m doing wrong???
Okay, first drink a pot of coffee, and then listen up. You can actually do the low elbow a lot higher than you might think. In the video, Liu is at the top of my head when I do the move. Pause before the last hits. It is very important that you do NOT spam those hits, or the soul steal won't happen. You have to put that all in exactly right. Don't worry about your opponent being too low to the ground after the elbow, because your first punch brings him back up high enough to finish.
If you have trouble getting the soul steal to work at the end, you are probably punching too many times. You can practice the three punches and soul steal on their own, just to give you some confidence. I kept spamming the X button, and my soul steal was always late - practicing the end of the combo really helped me.
One more thing about my first reply, just for clarity. When I said "pause before the last hits", I meant to pause for about a second after the low elbow. The rest of that paragraph is about X,X,X,soul steal.
I was running out of space for the post, and I typed that poorly.
I think I had some moderate trouble with 7, and it took me at least a few hours to get through 9. I tried it with no wall, against the wall, 4 steps from the wall, 10 steps from the wall...I think in the video, I'm around 8 away. It's hard to tell if it made any difference, but I think it did.
HOURS!!!! dam dude. i thought u were flying by these. each character took me under 30 min. seriously, no bull. thts a shytload of time wasted on ur 360. lots of ware n tear.
It's so hard, and 10 is even worse! You'll notice I'm about 8 steps from the wall. That's to prevent Liu Kang from getting away on the last kick. That little extra help might have been enough to get me the combo, I dunno. That's about all I can tell you...it's just crazy hard.
If you are struggling with 10, a good thing to do is first practice the pro move on the ground (The kick one). Then, practice the down x xxx down back a. Do this by popping your opponent up with a back b. So... Back B, Down X XXX Down back A. Doing it this way makes you more familiar with the buttons so that you can eventually get sort of lucky and beat it.
I need help on combo number 6. It looks like I have to do a verticle leap followed by the triangle key followed up by the body switch. I do that and I don't get the success where am I going wrong? I couldn't quite tell in that video can someone please explain?
You have to do the body switch while your opponent is still in the air. The problem is, you can only do the body switch when you are standing on the ground.
So you have to hit triangle as close to the ground as you possibly can, so you land and have time to perform the switch before your opponent hits the ground. Make sense? I can't promise knowing makes it any easier! Good luck.
I got past that one as soon as I got through posting my comment. LOL. Thanks for the info! I completed Shao Kahn's Kombo Challenge and got one of the ??? trophies. I think Dark Seid is the other one and I'm not sure as to what the third ??? trophy is. I wonder have you by chance played me online? My PS3 tag is my youtube name only without the t. Have you and I played each other online?
Good luck! #9 is bad enough, but #10 is downright ridiculous.
With #9, my opponent kept barely hitting the ground somewhere before the end. So I'd do the whole move right, but I wouldn't get credit. If you get a damage report (3 hits, 8% damage or something) partway through, you might as well give up and start again.
He's my last one! I finally have time to get to him tonight. I've been busy with work. I have to do 5, 9, and 10 yet, which I should be able to put up this evening.
The secret for #10? PATIENCE. Lots of patience. And coffee. Lots of coffee.
One more tip for #10 - you CANNOT spam the last 4 hits. If you try to spam the punch, the soul steal will be late every time. You need to time that and do it correctly.
Whomever did #9 deserves a slow, painful and solitary dead. I am not buying MK9 just for this kombo challenge.

tips:
#2
hold up and spam circle ( dont spam fast)
#5 you hit just before landing you press (down-back) and forward
#7
you do the first forward-up triange you keep holding forward-up and you do the second triangle just before landing
#8 very good online kombo ...
press square, x and cicle like a half moon at the beginning
in a online game you start the combo with x
#9 tryed 3-5 hours ... I still can't do it :/
