Talk:Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

Bios and endings

Aren't most of these bios taken from MK Trilogy? Also, I think these bios and endings section don't belong on the game pages but the character pages. Buzda 19:32, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Jeff Silvers 16:23, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Jade's Stage Fatality

Jade has a stage fatality movement. It's back - forward - down + run. I will remove the incorrect information from the trivia section.

Merger with GBA port?

As this issue includes another game and it's GBA port, I've started a single discussion on the Project's talk page (link). RobWill80 14:14, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

UMKT (Hack) deserves a topic?

I'm trying to create a page in the Wiki, but I need your approval. Yes or no? If yes, I will upload the images on wiki.--Dekabreak101 01:33, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

If you really want to. i personally, would like to hear about UMKT. 76.234.165.130 23:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)Unregistered User: Dracula_Marth

Trivia clean-up.

Removed trivia section as all information covered elsewhere and Trivia should not appear in Wiki articles. Madslocodemente 03:09, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Why? There are trivia articles in wiki, discuss this in the group talk page. --Dekabreak101 03:24, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

As I stated, it is all covered in other articles already and is not entirely relevant to the main article. It's like saying in Cyrax's article that mentions Sub-Zero that there is trivia that Sub-Zero had a brother named Sub-Zero who became Noob and the two aren't one and the same. How do I get to the group talk page? Sorry, I have never used it. Trivia is unencylopedic and you shall find most places that it's found it's noted for intergrating into the rest of the article or deleting the unnecessary. Madslocodemente 03:34, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm getting pissed..

Seriously, there is a person doing a revert on the hacking section. Jade's stance is not hacking!

I will request lock this article if he makes more reverts. Comment if you don't agree, I will understand. --Dekabreak101 (talk) 02:32, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:UMK3 Zeus Select Screen.png

Image:UMK3 Zeus Select Screen.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

UMKT (Hack) False Information

In the little tidbit about this hack, it says:

The hack, however, requires a specialized version of the Gens emulator, and a patch that updates the ROM and fixes certain bugs in it. [3] This can't be played on a real Sega Genesis, even if a cartridge was made, because this game is ten megabytes in size and the Genesis can't play games that exceed four.

This is plain false about the size of the game. The Sega Genesis can have and did have a game over 4 four megabytes in size. Super Street Fighter 2 was five megabytes. And via bankswitching there is no reason you cannot have 10 megabytes. The first part is probably true that it requires a specially hacked emulator. But the part about size constraints is false. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MobileSuitGX (talk • contribs) 22:46, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

UMKT cannot be played on a real Genesis. Good point though. I don't know if there are any Genesis flash carts. It may be possible. --Dekabreak101 (talk) 19:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Xbox 360 ESRB Ratting

I have seen a card for the 360 version of this game and it was rated for animated Blood and Gore and Animated Violence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.90.52.133 (talk) 07:19, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

SNES/Genesis UMK3 Arenas

If you use cheat codes and use the level select option, you can actually choose the MK3 arenas.

The ports, as well as the original arcade version, are rigged to use only the arenas introduced in UMK3. in the ports, there is a random occurance where the game switches to MK3 arenas without the use of cheat codes.

just telling why I editted the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.201.104.9 (talk) 17:13, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

The "Beat the game with a character to unlock a hidden character" part removed

I deleted the parts in the Characters section, where it said that you could unlock the secret characters by beating the game with certain characters, because those statements are false. I beat the game with Kitana (which was supposed to unlock Mileena), but nothing happened. This was on MAME. This means the Ultimate Kombat Kodes are the only way to unlock the secret characters. 66.227.220.139 (talk) 01:43, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Glitch Trivia Removed

Some idiot added a Play Forever glitch as trivia to the article. I removed it. 71.83.13.241 (talk) 19:19, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Removed reception section

Went to revert a recent biased edit (POV out the wazoo, plus entirely unsourced), then realized that the original version was unsourced entirely as well. Solution? Strike it all. Here's what I would otherwise have reverted back to:

• Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was much better recieved than the original Mortal Kombat 3 by fans of the series and the fighting game community alike. It was praised not only because it reinstated the classic palette-swap ninjas and female assassins, but because it also heavily modified the game engine for the better, thus creating a much deeper fighting game and the most balanced game in the series. Many MK fans prefer UMK3 for online competitive play, and continually face each other in online-enabled emulators.

If we could get some sources for any of that, I'd love to see it restored. EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:44, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm afraid that I can't find anything that would justify having a reception section here, unless said reception was for the more modern ports of the game, or retro reviews of the original ports. I'd say the same section in the MK3 article isn't up to par either. If only the internet was more commonplace in the mid-nineties... ah, well. Maybe someone still has gaming magazines from that far back, but I wouldn't hold my breath. RobWill80 (talk) 01:38, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

O RLY?

Proof link for Windows version? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.137.217.124 (talk) 20:27, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Removed mentions of versions for Windows 9x and Windows 2000. The game is now officially available for Windows through Steam. --Jtalledo (talk) 19:05, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

"Windows version" - just arcade emulation. Better use MAME. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.8.110.113 (talk) 09:23, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Rain in arcade version

Rain actually was playable for maybe a week in an arcade version at the now defunct Diversions arcade on Chicago's far NW side. Midway had used the location to test several versions of UMK3, including the wavenet version. One afternoon, there was a Midway technician working on UMK3 and when he was done, he began playing as Rain. IIRC, Rain had a screenwrapping roundhouse and some of SubZero's attacks. All this being said, I can't find anything to cite for this so it really doesn't fit on the wiki but I thought it would be an interesting tidbit for the comments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.29.27.41 (talk) 03:30, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

SNES UMK3 stages

I've lost count of how many times I've had to correct that but there definitely WAS MK3's stages in UMK3 on the snes. Aside from the graveyard, they were there. Also, the rooftop is one of the non-boss accessible stages, and neither the rooftop nor the pit 3 have to be unlocked in the cheat menus (which aside from the stage select option, have no stage unlock options).

The reason why you don't get to see the MK3 fatastages is because just like the original arcade version you only play through the umk3 stages + rooftop and pit 3 for a couple games before the MK3 stages start to show up.

Source: Me, someone who's actually owned and played the game for a change. I mean, seriously, if you don't have a SNES and the cartridge, is it THAT hard to grab the rom and snes9x?
