Mortal Kombat X Combo Tips

- Some tips for beginners who may be having trouble executing combos in MKX.
For those who don't know, it is common to refer to moves in Mortal Kombat games by saying 1, 2, 3, 4.
1 = Front Punch, Square, X
2 = Back Punch, Triangle, Y
3 = Front Kick, X, A
4 = Back Kick, Circle, B
x = Cancel into a special (This is not a button, it is just a notation that we use to indicate when a normal move is being cancelled into a special move. In this video, 114 is being cancelled into DB1, so we say 114xDB1)
So the combo in this video is written: 114xDB1, step forward, F32xBF3 - Ігри
My dad heard the audio and asked if I was doing homework. You sound like youre teaching something on Kahn Academy lol Great video
Cole H Hahaha foreal!!
Srsly though its a great style for tutorial videos
Cole H Kotal Kahn Academy lol
I watch their videos to lol.
Rabbi Andy You win for today.
this video deserves a nobel prize
Ha
This may be the most useful MK video that has ever been made. 6 years later and still helping gamers. Thanks dude.
I totally agree. I picked up the game cause it was only 6 bucks and MK9 was the last one I played.
@@stephengarvey509 I redownloaded the game after deleting it 2 years ago haha
The video is important. NRS should like pin it on all social media. Thanks a lot though, the game felt somewhat unplayable before
And it's all because Release Check is defaulted to ON
Thanks This is going to help me a lot with my D'vorah combos. Before I kept failing and it really bugged me.
Kao Eclipse i see what u did there
26demonizer39 That was a nice one
Kao Eclipse Good one
I see what this one did...
This one sees as well *head tilts*
Thank you! This mechanic has been so frustrating! As a new player, I was expecting tight controls and these tips really helped me out
For anyone unable to use special after Off Balance, it was patched. You can't cancel it into Rising Karma anymore.
I found out the hard way. Passing it on.
I've been trying to do combos for the past 2 days and they wouldn't work untill I found this video.
You are the Elder God right now.
thank you so much
Dude you just made me a monster lol thank you so much.
I advise everyone to turn that dumb ass option off, it really helps i was wondering why i kept doing the fucking tech absorb on jacqui
Nimbus it's not necessarily a dumbass option, it makes sense for certain characters who have combo strings into throws.
Nimbus dude I kept doing the same damn thing with her
uhhh i forgot how i found it but i just searched "gold grill girl cartoon" in google images and its the first one.
Yup, top100 on the KOTH leaderboards boys.
Thank you! This video connected two VERY big dots for me when linking or extending combos... Now if only the online matchmaking would pair me up with someone remotely near my skill level.... I keep getting these godlike 127-2 guys to fight, while constantly only having about single digit percentages of winning... It's absolutely absurd for new people trying to play online
These tips are great for new people to Mortal Kombat. As a player of this series since UMK3, I didn't really know about the internet as a kid and couldn't look this stuff up. This was something me and a lot of others had to figure out on our own, through hours of agonizing practice. MK4, DA, Deception, Armageddon, these tips can apply to every MK game. Bravo, sir. You get the old school Seal of Approval.
As a general rule, I play with D-Pad specifically for MK. KI and SF I play with the joystick. The D-Pad feels like it was meant for MK, even the older arcade versions.
I changed the options and started to do the exact combo you said and I wasn't getting the rising karma off in time. Remembered you said to do it quick and boom, I'm hitting combos like nothing. You the real MVP man!
Making some combos gone a little difficult, I was used to MK9 but I think every difference makes sense and it's very important to do not change the joypad configuration and keep it as defaut.
Nice video infamy 23.
"Excellent" tips, thanks!
I've been playing casually on and off for decades but it would be great to learn more moves. Subscribed!
Dude, you are the only one who actually tried to learn new players how to play the game. Every youtuber i have seen have said, "beginner tutorial", and then they showed the pro combos, but i couldnt even land them because of the deafault thing you said, but the pros never told me, they just expected everyone knew how to play mortal kombat. You made me a lot better at the game in 14 minuttes, instead of me watching a "beginner tutorial" with a lot of pro combos, i should just have seen your video from the start. Thanks, i really appreciate your help. :D
I recently just picked up the game, and this was very helpful. I'm surprised you don't make more videos. Your explanation was very clear and easy to digest. I would definitely like to see more videos like this one. Thanks!
I think I speak for all of us when I say you should start making lots of these types of videos where you're showing off some of the cool combos that each character has. I've reached a point where I can beat anyone who can't string three combos together consistently and that is the next step for me in the learning curve and id gladly subscribe if it means you'll help train me in a sense. Not to mention it would be an entertaining series. Good luck
dude awesome !!! i did a 22 combo with raiden ! the online player was like wtf just happend?
T. Z.G without meter a 22% combo is not bad but if you can find a combo that do at least 25% without any enhanced attack you'll be in a good way. Personally I found a 42% combo with 1 enhanced attack (it tooks somme practice of course) but I'm still not totally comfortable with the new mechanics of MKX...it was way easier in MK9
i used 2 enhanced meters to get a 25 combo its really hard to use no enhanced meter to get a high combo
try to trap your opponent in the corner. It's easier to do higher combos. But if it can help you there's a very easy combo with Raiden (it's my bets caracter) you can do anywhere without meter for 22% damage. 3,4 back,foward,3 (X,Circle,back, forward,X)
T. Z.G I'm determining it as damn near impossible which is sad because MK9 you could do some pretty decent combos without a required EX bar. The enhances were just that enhanced versions that allowed for even more insane combos. In this it seems mandatory if you want t oget even moderate combos off.
it's true that most decent combo requiers enhanced attack. It's still possible to do some average combo without enhanced attack (depending of your character(in my case I play a lot Raiden)) but I admit it was lot easier in mk9
I bought this game about 2yrs ago, it was so frustrating trying to do the combos I was pressing all the right buttons and I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t activating so this game sat on the shelf collecting dust for 2yrs. Now seeing this video I’m willing to give it another chance. THANKS
I did what you described with the wireless controller settings, and it works.
I hadn't been able to do any combos, and now I am through most of them.
Great advice!
This is why I've been having this trouble for nearly 3 years!!!?!?!?!?!?? WTF!!?!?!!??!
11:58 high five LOL
Dude keep posting you just saved 300 k people's mortal kombat skill and fighting game skill in general. Keep it up you could really help the community by not just focusing on combos but helping people figure out how to get better before jumping straight into high damage attacks.
This is the best material i've seen involving MKX and how to play it. Key material to learn how to really play the game, before any physics or mechanics involved. Thanks. Will share.
"one step at a time" Takes a step forward... ohhhh 11:45
I CANNOT get the special move kombo's for the live of me.
I look and feel like I'm getting them when I slow down my input. But the tutorial disagrees. If I do it any quicker, it's too quick and the special doesn't execute.
Make sure you're not pressing directional buttons unintentionally. That was my problem
Efraín Ram It was more that I had to do it FAR faster than I already was.
***** Yeah, I was struggling because a combo like
X, X, < v X
Is actually meant to be entered at the same speed as an X, X, X combo. You get no extra time to press the direction buttons between the inputs.
***** MK's buffering system is different. In other games, you tap the next command before the current move makes contact, or during the recovery frames of the current move. It means you have to time your inputs so they flow with the timing of the animations, not too fast and not too slow. In MK, that doesn't matter as much, you can just dial the command string quickly, and it stays in memory while the combo plays out.
Samurai Pipotchi same
THANKY YOU!!! I have been looking for a video like this for days now. Cheers man!
Oh, that was the best mkx tips video I've found so far! Thank you very much
Awesome video! Got the link off of a reddit post.
Me too :D
Davide Zane me three haha
Izanagiii Awesome video but still get wooped on "hard" :(
Davide Zane Yeah the difficulty jump from "medium" to "hard" is huge lol
is it not possilbe to do that kenshi combo anymore? i input the command perfect everytime but the rising karma never goes through
Fantastic! Your video has improved my gameplay on so many levels.
Your explanation is as tight, precise, and smooth as your combo execution presented-- exquisite.
Bro, you have a place that will be reserved specially for you.
Thanks a lot.
Omg I was so excited like yay finally no wonder I was so bad before! Then I release it's already on ;-;
Cutupuss you want it off
Excellent description. Keep these kinds of posts coming!
this is exactly what happened to me on MK9, i just couldnt figure out why combos werent working and just abandoned the game after a while. thanks for the video, it really helped!!!
If users are massively complaining about issues with combos and it takes a 14 minute movie to explain it... something's gotta be wrong.
So I've turned release check off but I still can't do a basic combo
I'm trying Shirai Ryu's B21 BF1 and it just doesn't work, by the time my BF1 comes out the opponent is well beyond recovered
I'm a stick user, and after completing story mode with a fightstick i've been having a hard time figuring out if pad is the way to go with this game. I've been having an incredibly hard time trying to get kombos to stick...but now i know why. Thank you so much Infamy.
I have been searching for a video like this thank you man
Thanks man, that was really helpful! Can you do a video tutorial on canceling and how to turn that into longer combos?
You earned a like, subcribe , and comment. Think about posting more vieos the response is awesome.
Wow. Bravo man, you honestly probably saved the life span of this game. So really,Thank you.
This is the most helpful mkx video ever. Thank you, this helped me so freaking much.
when i am trying to do my special move as fast as you it doesn't let me an it has a little pause can u help me pls ?
same goes with me. exactky tried what he did and i cant do it
smy 333 same here guys. Does the new version remove ir or smth?
Some characters have a hard time canceling into combos so just practice to see which special moves can be canceled and which cannot
just input it before
@@Ep0xy I don't think so
This video helped me stop button smashing, I can get some combos off but my main problem is trying to string them together. Any tips on stringing combos so its longer than like 3 hits haha
***** I think I know what you're doing wrong, you're able to input the simple strings (the "kombos" on the moves list) which are 3-4 hits, not actual combos. What you want to do (in most cases) is start off with a string, say 114, and then cancel it into a special which will pop them up or make them restand, and then continue using a string into a cancel again, like the example in the video, 114xdb1 f32 bf2
If it's still not working, make sure the moves you are trying to do can actually string together, some don't.
WOWWWWW I cannot believe I didn't even look at that lol. This video just helped me out sooo much man. I have been noticing the negative edge affects combos for a lot of characters and I'm sure the shortcuts do as well. Coming from Capcom fighting games I always knew about negative edge and the simplified move inputs geared at helping pad players input moves a bit easier. I just tested this with Raiden (happened to be in the lab at the moment when I came across this video) and if you do Raiden's simple 1, 1, down back 3 (his rising uppercut) with the default settings it will come out at 1, 1, electric ball (down back 1) because of the god damned negative edge. I can't explain how much this video just saved my life because I was on the verge of quitting MK X because of the online combo failing. Thanks man!
You have NOOO idea how much this has helped me. I'm new to the game, technically. I played Mortal Kombat and Tekken when I was a kid but was never truly able to string combos and such. Now that I'm older and I play this game now I feel as if nothing has changed. But you helped me see common sense, it takes time to learn how to be a pro. I've been trying to get good as a Cyrax player but at all turns I had failed. I honestly thought I was a toxic player just like how I was when I played Evolve. But no damn it, Cyrax calls to me and I'M NOT GONNA LEAVE HIM HANGING!
Everytime i go online i get destroyed by people doing so much combo trap me in the corner
Yeah, me too I've always wanted to learn to use a character like that, but I don't know how.
i hate that
Chin Chin same
Block, overhead jump, now you have the advantage
do you use the D Pad or the sticks to move ?
Ohr Rafa D-pad for me.
infamy 23 Heard it was the best, thanks, and i cant believe i didnt say this in my comment but this video helped so much! ure a fuckin saint man
infamy 23 How do you hit the d-pad directions so smoothly? I've got big man hands and can do short combo's fine and hit the 1234 buttons fine but when trying to string some together I end up mashing the dpad all over the place with my thumb? Any tips on how you hold the controller to get the smooth inputs. Thanks and great vid helped a lot and can consistently cancel the normal combo with a special now.
medleyoz yea same problem here i would love to find a way to combo without having my jumbo thumbs pressing all the buttons or directions it makes doing simple combos tricky at times.
medleyoz I have one basic suggestion that might help. If you aren't, keep your thumb on the bottom part of the dpad, as opposed to the top or over it. You should not be using the lower part of your thumb to press dpad inputs.
infamy 23 Great video man, congrats on the first breakout video, awesome job on explaining clear voice and helpfulness
Man you are a life saver I had all the controls down pat just couldn't get the kombos to add up thank you very much!!!!
Anyone else having problems with Kung lao's chain fist input?
Yes, Yes, and Yes! I cannot get it to work. I've tried so many ways to do it, fast, slow, walking, jumping, anything! and it still WILL NOT WORK! That "chain fist" and the bigger one below it won't work. I have input the commands flawlessly but nothing happens... I have switched the controller options, and still nothing... Its funny because I've seen it done like 2 times while watching Lao fights on UA-cam, but no matter what I press it will not work... I'm going insane!
I thought I was the only one lol but yes!
I figured it out. It's not easy but it is possible. You have to press the buttons at light speed lol. Ok seriously though, so the buttons for the combo are 1,1,2,1,2, after you press 1,1 you have to press 2,1,2 almost inhumanly fast. You can do it easily if you use both thumbs. But to do it with one thumb you'll have to press the last 3 buttons (2,1,2) by rocking your thumb back and forth REALLY fast. If you lift up your thumb during the last 3 buttons it won't work because you won't be fast enough. Maximize speed by rocking your thumb like I said. Don't be discouraged if you don't get it for the first 20 tries, just keep at it. It's very hard but it's not impossible. Hopefully it'll be patched one day to make it a little more forgiving... Anyway these instructions should help. Try giving it a shot. Good Luck!
Ratchet25 You could use two fingers, your Index and Middle finger to do the input like you would on a fight stick. It's one of those commands, that is not made for a game pad. In Virtua Fighter, Akira's just frame Knee launcher is like that, hard on a fight stick and near impossible on a game pad.
Ratchet25 Lmao, "lightspeed". That's the same thing I said to myself when I tried out this ungodly combo. Netherrealm needs to patch this, because there's no way a combo should be executed so fast. It's tedious.
Fuck Mortal Kombat X, hands down, period. I'm done wasting my damn time MEMORIZING SHIT. And it aint working and i keep losing
You just need to practice, maybe watch some other tutorial vids. You'll get it soon
+Two2 - Eclipse Dude it's not a beginner friendly game. Particularly if you're looking for 40% combos like Vman. Btw I really really really recommend Vman. He doesn't do tutorials, but you can try to mimic his combos.
Devin Johnson thanks I will try that
Damn dude, you should make more Tip Videos. I would definitely subscribe! You're a natural at commentating.
Wow, the Direction after the special tip was SUPER helpeful. Thanks!
make. more. videos. seriously.
2:06 LMAO
Subscribed, hope to see more. Definitely a khan academy of Mortal Kombat. I feel sad watching a video liked this but it was on my recommended and didn't actually believe something existed like this. Great video. Thanks man. Hope to be kicking ass online.
Very nice guide! I trained this combo alot yesterday and now it's like a bodypart. Please, more of these!
I did shit exactly as he did but for some reason it just wont work. I did it slow, with average speed, fast but nothing seems too work...
Any suggestions? Talkin about the balanced kenshi 114db1 combo he is showing all day long... Of course i did the changes in the presets
This game will definitly kill my furniture at some point :D
make sure to put in down back 1 BEFORE the attack string animation ends
In long run turning off negative edge is harmful: more complicated stuff will require correct timings anyway, and turning off Negative edge will encourage people to buffer the whole thing up at once, wich is not that great. I would say that learning how to execute combos WITH Negative Edge on is more helpful in long run.
Moreover - getting used to holding down Forwards of Backwards in this game is bad - all your movements should be dashes or running (or jumps). All combos that require walking forward are "running combos" and are too complicated stuff for a begginers, so I would advise new players to avoid it alltogether.
And final thing - i found an exambple of Negative Edge being helpful: pick Mileena in Ravenous variation in practice.
She has High Pounce Special which is Down-Back-3. She also have a good poke Down-3. With negative edge ON you can press Down-3-Back and she will perform BOTH: poke and then pounce. It will always be faster then inputing poke and pounce one by one. I think cases like this are the reason, why it was ON by default
Maximilian Mansur It's not really about whether it should be on or off. The point is, most people don't even know what it is. Once you understand what negative edge is and how it affects your execution, then go ahead and turn it on if you find that it doesn't hinder you.
By the way, even if you disable it in the settings, you can never fully remove it. Negative edge is necessary for the game to run properly, because nobody can press a button at exactly the right time, every time. If you disable negative edge in MKX, it will still be present, but the buffer window will be considerably smaller. This setting increases the size of the buffer window substantially, which causes unwanted specials.
infamy 23 Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the video and I think it is helpful for many people. The reason I left that comment was that I kinda got a vibe that "turn off negative edge and never look back as long as you live". So I shared my thoughts on that matter.
And that example with High Pounce of course. This shit still amazes me.
Thank you for this video... I began playing MK since the beginning on Sega Genesis, last game I played was MK3 didnt play it again after that.... But I actually like this game. There is a lot of detail that went into it, and a actual good story line playing as multiple characters. Keep up the good work, and keep kicking ass :)
Dude, great job on noticing these issues and making a video for it, this is just what I was looking for!
not working for me with scorpion tutorial
Saaame
Itd be so much easier if you said the buttons- not numbers
Jack Graham No it wouldn’t 😂
dude, i know im a bit too late, but thank you, i was having a reaaaally hard time to learn this game and just after a couple of hours im discovering my first combos with kitana and it feels awesome
i did as you said, started from the beggining 1,1,1 ,special move
after a couple of tries i was doing, 1-1-1-special move - 4 -
Dude, you are my hero. Kenshi is my favourite kharacter and you just helped me with learning the first string of his kombo. I just have to master to put it together.
didn't work and I'm doing it correctly given the advice bad combat system for this game imo
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WILL SAVE MY LIFE. Couldn't for the life of me figure out why buffered specials weren't coming out... Gonna be crazy hard to train myself not to hold a direction after buffering a special, I'm always sitting on the pad waiting for the moment I can move again.
Oh my God thatnks so much for the tip on release check man, It explains a lot. I keep thinking that I'm messing up the inputs even though I'm actually doing it right all along. This was hugely helpful, good work
This is genius, I just started listening to the video and all of the sudden I just started doing the combos I wanted out of nowhere. I can do them as many times as I wanted whenever I wanted. A like from me and a subscribe
Thank you so much i had no idea about the release check and input shortcuts it makes it so much easier with them off.
dear lord you dont have an idea how much you helped me! i had this problems since injustice.
Wow so glad i found this video man, i was having so much trouble, THANKS!!
LoL in possesed i'm doing %45 combo with ease now, i suspected something was wrong, thx bro. U deserve all the good wishes coming your way.
This video was so helpful. Just by turning those two options off, I pretty much make 95% of my combos now, and if I miss a combo it's simply because I either pressed the wrong button or I was just button mashing. This is my first fighting game in years, and I'm starting to get back into it. I'm currently 15-1 with my new main D'vorah and I just started using her four hours ago. I watched this video, then trained with her for an hour, then I jumped into her klassic tower with medium difficulty, and then straight to ranked.
Your video has been linked to a MKX beginner's guide in reddit . Congrats sir :D
Just wanted to say you have a great explanation style. I just got into the game. Many thanks for this :)
Great video. You hit the nail on the head saying master one thing before going on to the next.
Im late to the mkx party and i couldnt have asked for a more clean, understandable, and informative video. Thanks man
This helped SO MUCH. Damn controller presets kept screwing up my combo with Takeda and making him do a tornado kick rather than his whip assault when finishing off my combo. Now he throws out the whip assault every time as long as the inputs are on time
It makes sense now regarding the combos and the input. Thank you for sharing.
I must say this video was very helpful and you broke it down in great detail thanks!!!!!
My combos became so smother and with no delay, even this your only vid, but you earned a sub, thanks.
Man of the YEAR!!!! Thank you. :')
Thank you so much ! You're a life saver! I couldn't figure it out for the life of me! Now I can land 14 to 17 hit combos flawlessly! Once again thank you !
Thanks for making this video, I'm sure you help thousands of people
Infamy23, thank you for making this video, this helped me out a lot. I got MKX today and ive played Injustice for a while and ive never managed to land big combos and sometimes i fail the simplest of moves, but after this i'm just way better. You deserve way more subscribers, and you should make more videos. Thanks to you and Kenshi :)
Thank you! I was beginning to doubt my stringing abilities and was getting super frustrated with the game. Now it works like a charm
Helpful video, and something I figured out when I fired up Injustice for the first time (same combo controls), but it really felt like this took too long to get to the point. Anybody watching this later, skip to 2 minutes in for actual useful information.
Thank you so much man for doing this, I've been definetly having the same trouble. Also I would like to compliment on your explaining, is paused, accurate and clean thanks again bro.
man honestly, thank you so much. this game was starting get to me! i couldnt figure what i was doing wrong. you are a hero !
Now I understand how to do the moves right lol you explain it alot better, thank you
Dude your explanation helped me a lot, thanks!
This helped so much. Thank you for making this video
this video was so helpful, I'm not a MK player but this has helped me understand it a lot more
Holy shit dude. Thanks to you my game has improved immensely.
Thanks bro, totally digging the video. VERY HELPFUL!
Man, thank God I stumbled across this video. My roommates so screwed now that my combos aren't going to mysteriously drop mid sequence anymore. >:) Thanks!!!
