hey guys got a few questions my MK3 I just got it seems like the controls aren't working right maybe the switches arent working perfect. I cant do a single death move and it takes a couple tries some times to execute a basic special move like F,F,HP. are these micro switches bad or should I try stretching the springs on the buttons! also i noticed one of the controllers is not original and the square actuator dosen't seem as big as the original one. the micro switches look all original and I know this game is pretty hard on controls especially if it was ever in a arcade! any suggestions or where to get the best or good priced micro switches if that is the problem!
 
still problems

I did get a fatality to work, a run block run fatality with cyrax. But I had to hit it a few times for it to register.the buttons are not sticking either! any suggestions?
 
On the fighting games like MK, Killer Instinct, etc I highly recommend replacing all the switches. New joysticks will also make a huge difference. If those are original switches they have been cycled thousands of times. If you hold the old ones next to some new ones you will probably be able to see just how much the actuator plungers have worn down.
You can always throw it in self test and bring up the switch test screen. This will show you if the switches are registering ALL the time.
