Reptile and Sub-Zero's slide, I think it's two buttons held + a direction.

Scorpion’s attack is away away low punch

Have him give Liu Kang a try. 3 of his moves are towards, towards and either of the punch buttons. Or towards, towards and high kick.

Up up HP at sweep distance is scorpions fatality

The tutorial section has everything from basic movement to advanced tech, try them out.

Play the tutorials

Just do the tutorial.

oh lord. Welcome to the fgc.

They all have different inputs. If you go into the tutorial, there’s a section for each character which goes over the basic ones, and then you can go to practice modes and see the move list and try all the different stuff out.

It also helps to check out YouTube videos about combos for the character you’re trying and see what some of the options are.

Hey man, welcome to mortal kombat, I love this game so much. When you’re playing ONLINE 1v1, there’s like only 3 different move sets you can pick from to play. If you’re playing a custom lobby game like king of the hill with custom variations, you can utilize those. You can customize them in the customization

there are no moves to unlock, aside from brutatlities and fatalities. You can customize the special moves for each character in the "kustomize" section of the game. The moves you are seeing over and over ( if you're playing online are moves people have found to be good, and they often get abused when starting out. There is a LOT to learn about the game and the properties each move has.

Faster, don't overthink pressing the buttons you can queue them ahead of time. So even a simple special attack/small combo just hit the buttons and it'll kombo out.

Good memories! Good times!

Nothing topped the Lawnmower fatality. Peak gaming moment of all time. Not even Iwo Jima came close to that.

"Toasted!"

I can't get the timing down at all. I just keep calling up the cameos.

It’s more like X which is probably my biggest gripe with it. MK11 really did it right and I’m not sure why they went with the old style.

I only tried a few characters but the timing was really wonky and it’s probably the biggest downgrade from Mk11 in terms of gameplay so far.

That shit was all over the place in the stress test.

Sub-Zero’s slide wouldn’t amp unless you did it a full second BEFORE pressing anything.

Most other moves were simultaneous. It was very sloppy and they’ll probably polish it a bit. But I blocked out how bad it was until I saw this post.

Its more like MKX where you amp immediately after doing the input.

Mk1 is a huge disappointment for me. I loved mk11 but both story and invasions is a let down

just use normal moves? I don't see why you want to only use special moves

Any character that zones

Liu kang

Cetrion

Robocop is more reliant on his specials than his strings

I voted hit grabs but parries are a close second

Launchers

Parries aren’t the most practical but they’re my favorite to pull off
