Another tip for new players: DON'T JUMP IN. If you feel the need to jump, either jump back or straight up (neutral jump). Jumping in without knowing what you're doing is going to get punished more often than not.
Great video can't wait for the rest of the series. This is my first fighting game and I'm so bad at it. I struggle under pressure and end up panicking and my fingers just spam the controller during a combo. Doesn't help that there aren't many Kitana tutorials out there yet, I guess she's just not that played in this game. Thanks for the series, keep up the good work :D
Awesome video tutorial. I just started playing mkx and been enjoying it quite a lot and Im wanting to go extremely advanced in playing and this helps a lot.
Awesome, thanks for mentioning those control settings. I had no idea they existed and I was freaking out trying to do a particular 8 hit combo with cassie cage. It almost never came out right even though I entered everything correctly. Turns out disabling release check solved the issue!
Nolan Zielinski I use the dpad (arrows), it's more precise and quicker than an analog stick. I'm not sure what you mean by the 2nd question, could you elaborate?
Nolan Zielinski Pushing multiple buttons together is usually for throws but you can just use the throw button for that. Also you can hit the R2/RT button at the same time you hit the face button for a special move to do an enhanced version of that move. It requires 1 bar of the super meter.
when you do teleport on scorpion ( down - back- X) do you tap down and back seperately or do you move youre thumb from down to back without lifting it up?
what actually you can recommend to use as keyboard, i use wireless keyboard and when i play online i see some aut of sinc issues, i have very good broadband connection and very good pc but my keyboard is not so good, so which you keyboard you can recommend Roccat Skeltr Master Worlds
can you elaborate more on why you should turn the settings off? bc when I do it seems harder to pull off special moves I like to roll my thumb over the directional arrows that I need to use the move. it that wrong? should I click them separately?
***** If you feel comfortable rolling, go ahead and do that if you can continue being good with it, it's not a big deal. As for turning the options off, you want to do that because when you try to pull off high damage or longer combos, they can cause the inputs to be misread and screw up your combo.
Bozz D I agree, in MKX it is very hard to do long combos. Please do an episode on long combos (I don't know the actual name, but not the ones you can find when pausing) drpoplove.
Hi, What is the down bar? how to use it? what is "E" "Thunder icon" and "X" For? i am playing MKX from my PC and it's say for easy fatality press HOLD " ; L " or Hold " ; I" i am doing that but nothing happened!! Why? - even though i come CLOSE to the enemy nothing really happening and i start press all buttons something happen and i can use that "E Thunder X " Bar!!!? Help tips pls
Aal VoidVoid Easy fatalities you have to purchase (with real money as far as I know), they're there on the screen to make it more enticing to do so. As for the down bar, it is your super meter which indicates whether you can do X ray attacks (both triggers at same time), EX moves (R2/RT at the same time with a special move), Interactive objects in the stage (R1/RB). I'd say go through the game's short tutorial, it explains this stuff well.
I having trouble attacking, I play as mileena and after I block a combo , I go for an attack but it majority of the time, it gets perfectly blocked by the cpu on hard or if I try to counter attack after I block, the cpu always attacks faster than me. I wonder if mileena is just slow compared to a lot of characters.
This is my first mortal kombat ever, and it's a great game. I'm also trying to learn Scorpion, it's a great character and I chose it mostly because of its aesthetic. But, no matter what, I can't chain the spear into combos unless it is the move I start the combo with. the opponet will always fall to the ground after the first combo (I usually use x,x,b)+teleport without giving me time to chain him. Why does this happen? May it be the wrong moment to try the chain?
drpoplove thanks for the answer! i tried many times, but I never manged to do it till now. I'm only able to do another 3 hits combo after the teleport, making a 7 hit combo, which is not that effective actually. The damage is pretty low, but I saw in videos that you can chain the spear into it. I'll try more, maybe with different 3 hits combo. Maybe the one I use doesn't keep the opponent in the air long enough!
CentinalxGaming a week, but learnt doesn't mean mastered, so mind that. Anyway, Scorpion has been nerfed a lot, he really sucks now. Use Quan Chi, Erron Black, Raiden or maybe Kung Jin who is a lot easier to learn than the others...and mind that this game tends to lag a lot, so I suggest you to join a facebook group of player and play only private matches with people that you know they live close to you, otherwise the game will very easily match you with people from the other side of the world.
Dude, is it just me or the dash in this game has a delay? in MK9 when you dash you can block right away. but here u have to finish the dash animation to block.
UnleashDaBeastClan yeah it's kind of annoying when i wanted to block but it run instead and you can't attack right away after dash coz the dash has a stupid recovery time.

Uploaded Thanks! And keep practicing, you'll get rid of the finger panic soon :).
Awesome video tutorial. I just started playing mkx and been enjoying it quite a lot and Im wanting to go extremely advanced in playing and this helps a lot.

simon almers Thank you :).
I love this guide thanks for the tips :D much appreciated

Thanks for this videos, helped me a lot in learning the game! :)
Love the videos, can't wait for the advanced ones ;]
Very helpful! Keep these videos coming!
WexTheJanitor Thanks :D!
can you do a video on Breaking and block breaking aand wakeup attacks, i played tutorial but i always get combod and cant get in a breaker
Usopp the brave You have to time the breaker on the hit basically. I did a quick defending tutorial here: ua-cam.com/video/eMEYHd_WMiM/v-deo.html
Turning those settings off helped tremendously. I can't believe I ever won a match with them on.
Do you use the joystick or arrows to control? Also how do you know when you're supposed to push 2 buttons at the same time?
Nolan Zielinski I use the dpad (arrows), it's more precise and quicker than an analog stick. I'm not sure what you mean by the 2nd question, could you elaborate?
drpoplove in the combo list when are you supposed to push two buttons at the same time vs one after another?
Nolan Zielinski Pushing multiple buttons together is usually for throws but you can just use the throw button for that. Also you can hit the R2/RT button at the same time you hit the face button for a special move to do an enhanced version of that move. It requires 1 bar of the super meter.
sweet video man!
Hammington DC Thanks :D!
New sub thanks! keep em coming
when you do teleport on scorpion ( down - back- X) do you tap down and back seperately or do you move youre thumb from down to back without lifting it up?
YuorMomFcuk Depends on which controller I'm using, but I find that I'm rolling instead of tapping more often than not.
How do i find those options to turn off? They're not on the options screen
I watched another video where it said to turn input shortcuts on because it was easier to do combos. Tbh, I'm a little confused...
I seem to have problems as soon as what I'm doing stops working. Do you have any general tips when it comes to adapting to what your opponent is doing
what actually you can recommend to use as keyboard, i use wireless keyboard and when i play online i see some aut of sinc issues, i have very good broadband connection and very good pc but my keyboard is not so good, so which you keyboard you can recommend Roccat Skeltr Master Worlds

How do I approach people in MK? I use Takeda and i have no idea how to land my combo starters on people.
Bozz D I agree, in MKX it is very hard to do long combos. Please do an episode on long combos (I don't know the actual name, but not the ones you can find when pausing) drpoplove.
AngeredHippo I'll have some combos videos after the defending tutorial one.
2:44 Yo wtf is this inception shit XD
Should i use the analog sticks or the D-Pad?
Who is you favorite character?
Hi, What is the down bar? how to use it? what is "E" "Thunder icon" and "X" For?
i am playing MKX from my PC and it's say for easy fatality press HOLD " ; L " or Hold " ; I" i am doing that but nothing happened!!

Dante wright The MK CPU is [in]famous for cheating. I recommend playing against human opponents if possible.

Loc L. I've barely touched Scorp in this game but I thiiiiiink you can't do a spear coming out of your teleport the way you want to.
drpoplove

+Loc L. hey I just got mortal Kombat today and I am curious. how long did it take you to learn scorpion?

can you do a johnny cage beginners guide?
***** I'm not the best Cage player but I can give it a shot, just need a bit more practice with him.
drpoplove cool thanks
Say "nuclear vessels"
Can somebody tell me how can i block attack on pc. WHAT IS THE BUTTOM ON MY KEYBOARD!!
Dude, is it just me or the dash in this game has a delay? in MK9 when you dash you can block right away. but here u have to finish the dash animation to block.
Friedrich Steiner Dashing forward and then holding block makes you run
UnleashDaBeastClan yeah it's kind of annoying when i wanted to block but it run instead and you can't attack right away after dash coz the dash has a stupid recovery time.
Friedrich Steiner Yeah same. Sometimes I'm tryna move forward and block but no i run and get a beat down as well
Dat Balkan accent tho' :D
