The 20 Year Anniversary for UltimateMK.com

It was 20 years ago that public posts began appearing on the UltimateMK.com forum, the first by none other than Konqrr on June 12th, 2006. When the Prophet passed away in Feb 2006, we decided that we needed an MK specific site and forum in honor of what he did to help resurrect the arcade MK scene in the mere 5 years we knew him, so we began recruiting users from message boards, gaming sites, forum, etc, from all over the web to gauge interest.

Weeks after this process began, it was announced that UMK3 would be released later that year for the XBox Live Arcade digital platform, so we knew we had only a short time to jump on the chance and registered UltimateMK.com a couple weeks later of that year after settling on the name. We spent the next three months recruiting members and coming up with a site layout in the meantime making sure it had sufficient functionality and didn’t look like any old gaming website.

UMK would serve the community with competitive gameplay information across various MK games until 2012, then for one last time it acted as a temporary landing space for TestYourMight.com while undergoing a long, unexpected server maintenance. The forum would eventually be merged with TYM in 2012 finding its final home, adding and merging its 1800+ members, 113,000 posts and half a decade of knowledge, fun, and controversy. The earliest posts and oldest members of TYM, are actually UMK members.

UMK had a very close, family-like mod staff and this is where many of the eventual TYM mods would learn their skills that have been in use there for over 15 years now. Effectively, the bridge between our original gaming site, Darktemplarz.com and KombatNetwork.com, UMK still exists as a resource for older content that never made it to youtube, UMK3 Character Guides and links to other MK sites and related content.

UMK3 Guides Update

A lot of info has been added and some things reworded. We are also adding YouTube Shorts within the guides to demonstrate concepts. As always, this is a WIP. Better visual organization to follow.

UMK3 Guide Updates

With the announcement of Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection to be released later this year, the UMK3 guide section will be significantly updated, and the possibility of adding other games as well.

It is done.

UltimateMK.com forums have successfully merged into TestYourMight.com‘s. We will gradually merge users over time, move threads, and cement TYM’s existence as the most important MK site in the world.

UMK+CMK+TYM=KN

UltimateMK forums will soon be accessible but locked indefinitely. All content is still accessible pending relocation.

Test Your Ultimate Might

UCTYMK

On this day, in 2006, UltimateMK.com was born, and opened to public registration after a day of invite only registration. It was conceived in March 2006 in the memory of, and the wake of the death of an OG, the Prophet, Ryan Hutnick. Today, it will rise once more. UltimateMK can in a way be looked at as a parent of KombatNetwork, as KN is a direct descendant of it. Today, we will Test, its Might.

R.I.P. Ryan, and thank you!

KombatNetwork Presents: Revolution X! Mortal Kombat Tournament at YesterCades in Red Bank, NJ!

Early next year, Kombat Network will be running its first Mortal Kombat tournament out of a new venue in Red Bank, NJ. This same venue is where they recently held a “mini-demo tournament” to see how it went and it was a success. With main investors, Shock and summoning, for this tournament we’re hoping to draw in 32 players. This number should not be very difficult to achieve considering most of East Coast’s monsters are likely to attend.

Sunday, January 22nd, at YesterCades in Red Bank, NJ will be the first official KombatNetwork Mortal Kombat tournament. Start time is 4PM for casuals, tournament will begin at roughly 5PM. $15 venue fee, $10 entry fee. Minimum payouts will be $350, $100, $50 to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

The event is called “Revolution X.” The venue is a new arcade in NJ that opened in October which hosts primarily 80s and early 90s arcade classics. It will be open for regular business operation during the tournament but we will have an entire wall of the building designated for 3 MK setups. The MK players will have access to all the classic arcade machines and pinball during this time but we of course encourage the MK players to pay attention to the tournament as much as possible. Streaming will be provided by KombatNetwork. Not all matches will be streamed due to time constraints but matches will be streamed throughout the duration of the tournament.

The address is 80 Broad Street, Red Bank, NJ 07701. The home of YesterCades which is a 2800 square foot arcade hosting approximately 50 classic arcade machines plus about 10 pinball machines and a pool table. We are working on getting him a couple MK machines and I gave him a list of others, particularly fighting games to consider getting as well.

With that said, for anyone coming and traveling who does want to stay overnight I will gather a list of local hotels and motels. There is a Comfort Inn in Middletown next to an Outback that is about 5 minutes from the venue straight down the highway and is $99 a night. A pricier option is Courtyard Marriot in Red Bank that’s a little farther from the venue and $139 a night. Two hotels in town 2 minutes from the venue are the Molly Pitcher at $139 and Oyster Point but that’s way too expensive around $169 a night. Red Bank is an expensive hang out and tourist area with bars that wouldn’t allow me to step foot in them if I wanted to.If players are going in groups it might be a good idea to pool your rooms together but again, it is a one day event and if only for 8 hours from 4PM until midnight or a little later, we don’t have a set time frame but again I do understand the whole work/school thing for Monday.
