For anyone struggling with the Darius combo link. Hit darrius soon after he jumps and then only press back to do same side command grab after you see darrius come out and you are on the ground
I see alot of people saying Reiko is boring, I don't see it, I've been maining him since launch, got mastery 35, and still enjoy using him. Personality wise he was kind of lame, just General Shaos lap dog, but gameplay wise I love him, he looks cool too, feel like a gladiator when I play him.
Short and sweet while covering all major situations. Really a model character guide for getting into a character. I'm definitely going to give Reiko some run
Super good tip for the timing of the Kameo call. Call Darrius when you hear Reiko make that grunt before he drops during command grab. Helped me out a good bit.
Once word got out that Reiko was gonna be playable, even before the trailer showed his gameplay, I swore that I was gonna main him from jump street simply because he’s not a series main stay and I don’t know when he’s gonna make another appearance. He was one of my favorites in MK4.
really good guide. concise and to the point. 7:59 in this meterless corner combo after you knee launch you can do 21, 21, 12 xx command grab and get a bit more damage. I keep trying to work 434 into combos but idk if it fits anywhere since it just spikes them down+away really quickly
@@caelpearson6209 only in the corner, tho there are better alternatives such as stand2 then 34 command grab or 21 21 12 command grab. 434 really has no use in general but stand 4 is a good antiair
I found for the Darrius Kameo reset if you are holding both down and back at the same time, you will do the pale riding version of the command grab and be able to use Darrius kameo. I found it a bit easier than trying to do a specific order for Darrius kameo. Amazing video rewind!
For anyone struggling with the anti air combos, start with just 4-runknee-bdf1. Once you get that consistently go 4-runknee-1-bdf1. Then the full 4-runknee-3-bdf1. Helped my timing at least
Picked up Reiko on a whim & was surprised how he just clicked for me. Nothing flashy but very solid underrated character.. fun to use imo & his been winning me so many matches.. 🔥
Always liked reiko lore wise but this gameplay is really really fun and interesting to me. Having the luxury of a grappler and amazing zoning makes this dude super fun, and really appreciate this guide, there's a lot I've been unable to make work but with these tips hopefully I can become a bit more of an online monster. Props to you for showing how good this char can be
@@cloud504 stryker grenades are really helpful on oki like rewind said, plus the short mixes you can call him in to do also help against really defensive players I'm sure rewind has a lot more to say though!
Goat guide tbh. Seriously you covered everything. This is how we should think when picking up a character. Im sometimes lazy to practice stuff like anti air combos or which moves give me oki. So thanks rewind 👌🏻
there are a lot of guides people making, but this one is actually good, I mean pretty much everything you need to start and some advanced stuff aswell. Only one more thing you might want to hear from pro player about the character is some tricks, good staggers into backdash-button or something like that, one example I can come up with is tweedy shared his (well, might not be his exactly) thing with gears in mk11 when you do d3 into backdash into b22, this stuff opened people way too much. But I guess it is still too early to ask for this, even pro players still figuring out match ups. Once again thank you for a great guide, It really helps!
I keep coming back to this video, everything is incredibly concisely explained. As I learn more about the game, I come back to this video and pick up on new things/ reasons for certain moves. Fantastic work, definitely one of my favorite players.
Hated reiko when I saw him in the roster and didn’t like him when I tried playing him, but I decided to give him a go in practice after getting my ass beat by a reiko and now he’s my second main next to smoke🙏
Phenomenal tutorial! Good stuff! Only thing you didn’t mention was his parry. Do you use it? His inputs seem very difficult for me, but I’m gonna keep practicing him. Thanks for the epic tutorial Rewind!
oh yeah i just realized my editor didn’t incorporate the section where i talked about it smh, it’s not frame 1 tho so it’s kinda bad, but he gets the same combo off parry that i’m doing in the videos
Thank bro cuz I was why Darius cameo wasn't hitting for me, I love that you play reiko, I like watching u play more than anybody right now cuz reiko is hype
I like to do a little setup with darrius. You can combo his kick into his Overhead. After that you can hold down the Button for another overhead. You can time this with a low and you got a kinda 50/50. Still, his Grab cancel is way better
Reiko was my main before watching your vids on him and this tutorial really helps me with playing him even better. The character is very fun and not too difficult either.
I’m glad I came across your channel. You’re not only entertaining you guys are helpful and when I get MK 1 you were the main reason I want a Main reiko myself and because his gameplay looks really fun
I’m starting to see his potential. I’ve been getting worked in kombat league by this character. Funny thing is he isn’t even that insane. It’s the player that plays him… love the vids Rewind keep them coming Brodie 👊🏾
For anyone having trouble with the command grab and Darius is that you don’t hold back while doing the combo you do the command grab call Darius and then u hold the back button
Thx for this, I was really struggling to find my character other than Baraka and I didn't want to be cheap but after see your first video whit this character combo and trying it l knew I had a new main. This guide has helped a ton, keep doing the Lords work.
Great guide dude. Been trying to learn Reiko and just wasn’t understanding how to properly play him. Can’t wait to hop on next and actually be able to fuck shit up
Awesome guide yo, appreciate you dropping the knowledge, I be having trouble establishing his game plan with the command grab but every time I watch you play with him it gives me motivation to continue on and not drop the character 💯 keep it up!
Im not even that interested in reiko, but the way you made this video made me stay and watch it, keep going man, thats what makes a good channel, not only what you bring but HOW you bring it!
THIS GUIDE IS FIRE!!! super useful for me and I've been playing reiko for a bit...didn't even think about the hit advantage on d4, smh...back to the lab for me!
I like motaro. Idrk how good they are together bc I’m just starting with reiko but you get oki after command grab with teleport and the tail shots have good pressure to push in for the strike/throw mixup
Day 1 reiko. And yeah that was short and to the point. Picked up Darrius because of watching u. Only problem I have is when someone uses the sub kameo and zones me out. I just need to work on getting in but still love playing him. Who would have known 😂
Yo rewind you think you can do a video like this for Liu ? I love how you explained exactly when to call in your kameo & the combo starters. Just a really simple and very very good way of Explaining things bro. Preciate you regardless
For all the Reiko players out there, its always better to start his combo with the flying knee instead of using his slide. Also, get good at hit confirming forward 1,2
Definitely glad I subbed up, I’ve been jabbing reiko trying to make him work and I can get decent damage with the scorpion kameo but him with Darius is insane
Casual player here that loves Reiko thanks to you Rewind thank you my guy I usually just play easier characters and only fight with friends! But I’ve actually loved playing the ranked this season due to your videos my guy! Thanks!
I'm just watching this to learn how to fight Reiko and fam, its brilliant. Things like the fact that I don't have to be scared of oki after command grab ender, d4 jailing etc. Mad helpful, cheers boss
U the man ive been following u for a while brother…Scorpion was my main in mk11 but he n MK1 he is worse hardly can open people up to do a 50% aircombo and i picked up reiko because at least he has some mind game u dont know if his going overhead mid low grab etc…thats a strong character thanks for this guide rewind it opened my eyes up to a lot of things i did not know about him…thanks
That counter close line need to be a tick too.. I used to use johnny Cages in MK9 all the time as part of a combo.. so i guess we call that a Tick Counter🤷🏾♂️ and they need to give him his telepot
That counter close line need to be a tick too.. I used to use johnny Cages in MK9 all the time as part of a combo.. so i guess we call that a Tick Counter🤷🏾♂️ and they need to give him his telepot
God bless you bro. But do you know that you can use 2 bars comm grab after strings for punish. For example: 3-grab-darius-3-bf3-3-grab. You can do the same after 12 and 21.
Great guide, thank you! One thing I noticed which wasn't covered is canceling 1 2 or forward 1 2 into projectile on block. I've seen you do that a lot in match footage. I thought you were doing it to stay safe but am surprised that it's actually less safe on block. I'm curious if you have different use cases for stopping after 1 2 and for canceling? Maybe only for forward 1 2?
It's true Reiko can not tick throw from his command grab but he can still tick throw from his d1, d3, d4, f12 and 434 - all into FB. The only useful ones tho are d1 and d3 since if they try to neutral jump they'll get clipped. Great video Rewind
Some help plz. I hold back when doing the grab, but if I keep holding back it refuses to call Darius. Is there a setting or something I need to change? Edit: I figured it out. He doesn’t say it, but you first have to call Darius and then start holding back to roll out of the throw.
Great guide! I wish his grab was scarier so we could experiment with more cameos. Ive come from GG:ST and SF so I'm used to just inherent fear playing grapplers. Tried Geras but he doesn't have the badass I'll f you up aesthetic.

I subscribed. Thanks for the video. Going to pick him up just becaise im a fan of mma.
Any Reiko use for Darrius's other moves?
@@xCZxMontuaGyou can do some meterless routes with him that are different what I did in this video but they do less
@@BlkSpyDathank you man 😊
Solid content Rewind🔥 Subscribed! Keep the character guides coming-Your great at them
For anyone struggling with the Darius combo link. Hit darrius soon after he jumps and then only press back to do same side command grab after you see darrius come out and you are on the ground
Thank you, helped me start nailing it

Bro thank you
Thank you that was annoying af
I can't 😢

He needs some spear moves
@Vrotii I agree, he has the spear in his fatality, you think it would have a regular move or two as well.
Reiko's gameplay looks badass honestly and all of his attack sound design is super satisfying
@@abhinavjain8672 I 100% agree
I like kicking people in the face with him
Concise, comprehensive and eloquent guide, Rewind. People have been sleeping on Reiko heavily, but as always, you bring the hands and the knowledge.
Short and sweet while covering all major situations. Really a model character guide for getting into a character. I'm definitely going to give Reiko some run
thanks bro 😎 let me know how you like em
Super good tip for the timing of the Kameo call. Call Darrius when you hear Reiko make that grunt before he drops during command grab. Helped me out a good bit.
What am I doing wrong ? I can't even it land it once in practice mode.
I call Darrius when Reiko grunts but the kick misses.
Reiko and Darius have some loyal fans. Theyre really busting the competition.
The command grab and kick is broken idc
I rather play against this than a baraka cyrax
FAXX…I been sayin Darrius was slept on💯 I like 2 string him w/ Geras after Time Freeze
MY LOYAL FANS
@@sirreginaldiii8567I just don’t wanna play against ninjas man
Youre a natural at explaining this. So easy to follow. Great work!
Are you coming onto me?
Once word got out that Reiko was gonna be playable, even before the trailer showed his gameplay, I swore that I was gonna main him from jump street simply because he’s not a series main stay and I don’t know when he’s gonna make another appearance. He was one of my favorites in MK4.
really good guide. concise and to the point.
7:59 in this meterless corner combo after you knee launch you can do 21, 21, 12 xx command grab and get a bit more damage. I keep trying to work 434 into combos but idk if it fits anywhere since it just spikes them down+away really quickly
yeah i actually figured that out right after the guide lol surprised my editor didn’t include that portion but it’s ok
you could also do stand 1 into 34 command grab it's very consitent and does more damage than 434
@@mildcholester6741how do I command grab after 434? Having a lot of trouble with it
@@caelpearson6209 only in the corner, tho there are better alternatives such as stand2 then 34 command grab or 21 21 12 command grab. 434 really has no use in general but stand 4 is a good antiair

Bro thank you I was labbing this and couldn't get one till I tried this and I get it almost every time now
Simple video yet super effective, that is a guide everyone should do
For anyone struggling with the anti air combos, start with just 4-runknee-bdf1. Once you get that consistently go 4-runknee-1-bdf1. Then the full 4-runknee-3-bdf1. Helped my timing at least
Picked up Reiko on a whim & was surprised how he just clicked for me. Nothing flashy but very solid underrated character.. fun to use imo & his been winning me so many matches.. 🔥
Picked up reiko yesterday and been getting bodied. Needed this fr
bought mk1 cause i remembered reiko in mk4, glad this char is so straight forward and strong
Been playing Reiko since day 1 and there's some really insightful things in here I never even considered, great video

A guide on matchups would be great. Idk what to do against Jhonny
Fire guide!! Learned a lot man thanks. Would love to see you elaborate on using Stryker though!
I hope for that too. People have been claiming Stryker/Reiko are solid, but all I see is zoning, and I hope that’s not what it’s about.
@@cloud504 stryker grenades are really helpful on oki like rewind said, plus the short mixes you can call him in to do also help against really defensive players

Quality guide mate, You can't go wrong when the best Reiko players teaching ya. Thank you 👍

Hell yeah! I was waiting for this! Good content brotha. 👊
What a really comprehensive guide on Reiko. You told me when i should be canceling things. Not everyone does. Nice. Take this Sub
ayyyy 🤙🏽
For all the Reiko players out there, its always better to start his combo with the flying knee instead of using his slide. Also, get good at hit confirming forward 1,2
Hit confirming f12 took some practice but man hit confirming b3 is just too hard. My reaction time isnt that quick
F1 is un useable. Far too slow. Gets stuff by anything
Definitely glad I subbed up, I’ve been jabbing reiko trying to make him work and I can get decent damage with the scorpion kameo but him with Darius is insane
I’m in love with this character ever since I saw his animations. He’s like a Muay Thai/mma fighter
REIKO MANIACS RAISE UP!
was definitely havin a hard time wit the darrius joint so fr thanks on that 💯

How do you deal with Smoke?
This helped a lot! Thanks 🙏
It's true Reiko can not tick throw from his command grab but he can still tick throw from his d1, d3, d4, f12 and 434 - all into FB. The only useful ones tho are d1 and d3 since if they try to neutral jump they'll get clipped. Great video Rewind
Thank you for this
Reiko really is the jack of all trades in this game... Decent projectile with a run in low, mans a fuckin unit
Some help plz. I hold back when doing the grab, but if I keep holding back it refuses to call Darius. Is there a setting or something I need to change?
Edit: I figured it out. He doesn’t say it, but you first have to call Darius and then start holding back to roll out of the throw.
Great guide! I wish his grab was scarier so we could experiment with more cameos. Ive come from GG:ST and SF so I'm used to just inherent fear playing grapplers. Tried Geras but he doesn't have the badass I'll f you up aesthetic.
Thank you , good luck on tourney !
Good video brother, but quick question; when’s the best time to use his parry? The parry is strong but I can’t find the right time to use it
