[UMK3]How to pick Human Smoke...

[shimmy]

...if your keyboard doesn't support more than 3-4 key presses[en.wikipedia.org].

After almost a year from buying this game I've finally been able to choose Human Smoke. xD

As we all know (or at least some of us) it's possible to change from Cyber Smoke to the ninja one during gameplay - right before any round starts - by holding High Punch + High Kick + Block + Run + Back.

Unfortunately my laptop keyboard gets stuck when I press multiple keys (i.e. A+S+D+X). Reptile's and both Sub-Zero's slides work perfectly for me. This is only for picking Human Smoke.

I've found out a bypass method which some of you might find handy:
1. Go to N-Key Rollover Test Page[www.gigahype.com]
2. Check your keyboard for the desired combination
3. Open the Steam\steamapps\common\mortal kombat arcade kollection\MKHDGame\Config\MKHDInput.ini file
4. Find the MKHDGame.MKHDInputMapping section
5. Change the key binding for the 2nd player - it just sets another action for the key of your choice if you're using only keyboard of course.

In my case it looks like this:

...
KeyBindings=(Target="p2",Keyname="LeftShift",Command="Run")
...
KeyBindings=(Target="p1",Keyname="A",Command="HighPunch")
KeyBindings=(Target="p1",Keyname="Z",Command="LowPunch")
KeyBindings=(Target="p1",Keyname="D",Command="HighKick")
KeyBindings=(Target="p1",Keyname="C",Command="LowKick")
KeyBindings=(Target="p1",Keyname="S",Command="Block")
KeyBindings=(Target="p1",Keyname="X",Command="Run")
...

Whenever I want I can still use my X key which I'm used to and use the extra one for changing to Human Smoke.

However after this change the Windows Live thingy started to crash the program whenever I pressed for the Live menu. :P
