Intro

This is a FAQ that attempts to cover most, if not all of the combination attacks for UMK3. This FAQ will not cover the old characters and all of their old comos. You can find a list of these by clicking here.

This FAQ will, however, cover new combos for old characters as well as the new character combos.

As always, feel free to mail us any new combos that you have discovered, no matter how easy or difficult they may be. If we can test and confirm them, they will be added to the FAQ and you will be given proper credit.

Standing HP,LP,HK,LK - Just do the punch or kick standing up, usually used to knock someone out or the air.

Hop Kick - Vertical Kick

Vertical Punch (Crossover Punch) - Means jump over the opponent and punch them from behind.

Cross Kick (Crossover Kick) - Means jump over opponent and kick them from behind.

Combo Initializers - These are a set of one or more hits that are for setting up a longer combo. They are sometimes (but not always) combos in themselves.

Example - One of Reptile's combo initializers is HP, HP, D+LP When you do this 3-hit, it sends the opponent flying into the air, thus setting them up for some kind of other attack. The "other" attacks will be listed below each combo initializer.

Basic Combos - These are usually simple 3 or 4 hit combos. I will try to give them their own names whenever possible.

Best Combos - Usually the highest number of hits you can get from a combo that starts on the ground. (I will add best combos for the rest of the new characters once I have a chance to verify percent damages.)

Ermac

(Slam = Telekinetic Slam... B,D,B,HK which works like a reverse dragon punch) The CPU apparently doesn't count the slam as part of a combo.

Best Combo

[4-Hit 23%] HP, HP, HK, B+HK (Axe Combo)

Note about Smoke's bitch slap and infinite combos

Using the bitch slap combo, it is possible to pull of a 100% combo. There's no one single way you have to start it out, it really doesn't matter. Just do spear, bitch slap, teleport, and repeat .. doesn't necessarily have to be in that order. This is a cheezy and unrecommended combo that may not work against humans. The timing must be very accurate when performing the bitch slap or else the combo can be broken. You can also do it by starting off with the bitch slap, walk forward, standing, HP, spear, and then keep repeating.

Universal (ALL CHARACTERS)

You can now initialize combos by using a jump punch and then doing a character's regular combo that starts off with a punch.

Here's an example:
Normally, Subzero's 6-Hit would be HP, HP, LP, LK, HK, B+HK for 23% damage.

But you can now add a jump punch to it at the beginning: Here's what it looks like:
Jump in, press HP, then ... HP, HP, LP, LK, HK, B+HK... so that's [7-Hit 33%]

This works for all characters.

I think the basic formula to it is: Whatever the percentage was for a regular combo does, a jump punch does various amounts of damage depending on the combo.

NOTE You can also initialize a kick combo with a jump punch. For example, using Scorpion, jump in with a punch and then do his Basic Kick Uppercut (HK, HK, LK, LK) for a 5-hit combo

The Vertical Kick Theory

Just like jump punches, you can start a ground combo with a vertical kick. You get in front of the opponent, jump up, and press kick on the way down and then proceed to do the combo. Although this does a little more damage than the jump punch, it is easily noticed and only works well in certain situations, like when the opponent if frozen.

Combos That Have Changed

Kabal - His high hitting combos have been weakened considerably.
Smoke - His cheesy 100% combo (LP, Harpoon, LP) has apparently been taken out in the upgrade.
Liu Kang - Can no longer do a combo after a bicycle kick
