@@MiniNinjaPK something like b23 > b23 > j > 212 > bf1. Frost kameo helped add on some damage at the start but it’s very basic like 30% combo if I remember.
This video genuinely helped me. I have been very bad at fighting games. Playing SF6 and watching this video have changed that. I totally forget that MK is a game and meant for fun. My favorite tips from this video are have fun, don't prioritize combos, and mix it up. Thank you so much Diaphone. Have a great day man.
One other thing that's really helpful is watching replays of your own gameplay. It's crazy just how much you don't notice when you're playing an actual match once you watch a replay of it. It helps you pick apart all your bad habits and mistakes. I'd argue watching your own matches is one of the best tools available to you
It is obvious that you are a pro player and well established in the FGC, but, holy cow, it always puts a smile on my face to see how well you do in any fighting game.
Most videos from high skilled players about how to improve (in any game) dont really understand what its like to be new and what a new player should REALLY focus on. I think you really nailed it in this video and I greatly appreciate it!
Aside from not worrying too much about combos, I personally like to learn the basic strings for a character first. After that, I start to experiment with the strings and see what can be special canceled etc. I also do sometimes use the same combo starter occasionally but I'll add a different ender.
As a totally blind Mortal Kombat 1 beginner player I can 100% confirm that in game tutorials are really helpful! I completed not all of them, but that I could complete and that are interesting for me in the current moment. As a result I already start to understand what opponent does and it is not a panik anymore when opponent does something, it is more the question how I can counter that. The biggest problem I encounter is jumping opponents. I hear that the opponent jumps but I don't know what to do to counter it and prevent getting an overhead.
Watch their jump arc and counter with uppercut. More advanced is anticipate the jump and use UP block. It's different than normal block. Used only to punish jump attacks
Another good way to use EX meter is with skills that gives you +frames on block. Often times can catch off-guard newer players who still doesn't know when it's their turn to press buttons and you can start your new mix-up, ooh and extra chip damage. Do not underestimate chip damage.
Dude yeah I needed this, I grew up with street fighter so it’s very familiar but playing mk feels so with how they’re input system works. Doing moves before I see them come out feels wild😭
Yea MK's most unique mechanic is how much it emphasizes dial ins in my opinion. I think because of this and a lot of other factors like ducking highs, lack of cross up, MK is ususlly closer to tekken than other 2d fighters in terms of meta.
i hope in the next update they add the ability to tag moves like in mkx and mk11 even if it’s just offline only it’ll be so helpful for learning combos
I got the game yesterday, they didn't launch with that? 😂 What an odd choice, it's such a good tool when you're learning, of all the features to ditch 😅 glad it's back
I didn't even know you can watch other people's replays and that tip alone is very helpful. The rest of the tips are also very helpful. Love this video.
Very well explained and friendly for new players! Thank you for your tip brakedown, it actually made me think to play more characters so i can understand the game better. I rly wanna be good and enjoy the game more. I love your calm energy! Peace =)
I don't intend to go kompetetive and was just hoping to find ways to handle Story and Invasions better. I was happy to see that the one or two kombos per fighter I've been doing are about what you prescribe (maybe less komplicated than yours because I kan't EX meter at all) and knowing you can kombo with a kameo after just one hit was a revelation. Hopefully it works for more than just Sareena but I definitely know I have options with her now! Thanks for making this easy to follow!
"Learn one Kombo really well" Boy does that make me feel better after I spammed the One Johnny Cage combo I knew all night last night lol! Thanks for the vindication Diaphone.
Someone once told me “if you only focus on what to do when you get the hit but never really learn how to get the hit then the cool combos don’t really matter “ really changed the way I viewed the game when I first started playing fighting games I mainly play nrs games but watch a few competitor/content creators outside the nrs scene, your contents always really top knotch
On your point on trying different characters and kameos. Went into MK1 set on maining Baraka, ended up really enjoying Reiko. Also found myself playing characters I’ve barely played before like Kung Lao, Liu Kang and Sub-Zero. Been really enjoying the cast in this one
Main points to focus on arw blocking,forward blocking at right moment and learning a combo and some special moves, after the second button in combo hit the special sequence and get more damage with the special cancel.
Thanks for the insight man much appreciated. I am going to take your advice and try to not get frustrated when I get demolished because all in all I'm still learning and it just takes practice.
Played PVP right out of story and got wrecked first fight. After which, I did invasions all the way mostly with Scorpion being year of the specter. After learning a lot of the combat along the way, I returned to PVP and won my second fight. This game feels great and I haven’t been excited for and enjoyed Mortal Kombat since MK9
I love to see these types of positive videos, video games aren't chores, they're supposed to be entertainment! Enjoy the games how you feel like enjoying them, way too much toxicity online nowadays
This was awesome. Thank you for making this video. You seem like a genuine person who has fun and wants everyone to have fun. You have just gotten yourself a fan.
I've always been scared of fighting games mainly because the primary reason for these games is the online fighting and multi-player, and I always assume that every person who plays fighting games are all hard-core sweaty hands experts and I feel I would just get crushed and not even learn at all 😂
Another great way to learn fundamentals is completing all the tutorials. One of the first things I do. Lil nugs of info sprinkled throughout. Great vid for beginners. Keep killing it.
Hit confirms were huge for me. How I learned was waiting for the animation of the attack to happen or start then I know to continue with my combo. It's very necessary for some of Sindel's air extender moves or else it will drop.
I tried Sindel first bc i really liked her moveset in the kampain, but decided i need to learn an easier character first. Will def come back to her after learning the game some
@Bman6464 I learned Scorpion first then I learned Sindel. That will help for sure. Some of her air strings are done very fast and that's the hard part, especially having to do the db2 Or df2 special so that she levitates then you can continue the combo. You got this 🤝🏻🤘🏻
I only play characters that match my personal style irl. It's so hard for me to learn a character that I find ugly or dresses hideously. I mained Nitara and Sareena before I knew they were any good lol. Nitara's first skin is so ugly though so I grinded to level 35 and I rock that skin now.
Not sure who I’m going to main yet, I still have to figure that out, but I guess I will definitely just have to play multiple characters while learning the fundamentals of the game plays.
Great video. Too often I get into it and get fixated on trying to do long ass optimal combos or I get mad because I’m not as good as Sonic Fox after 1 day lol! Trying to learn the fundamentals of match interactions is what I need most.
Last MK I played was Armageddon. Some things dont change. New players spamming spears and Ice balls. I destroy those guys then get nuked by good players. The addiction is back
Excellent video. I can totally vouch for trying other characters. Back in MK11 I got so fed up with sub zeros slide. I put it in lab. And practiced for several 8 hour sessions. On blocking it. It got to the point that I could fb it, once in a while. That move has a 7 frame start up. Basically, you must be ducking, and you must be blocking to stop it. But it was very punishable and lots of sub zero players would just throw it out there. The best one I got was finishing a set by jumping back with raiden, an procing his amplified lightning strike and giving that sub zero a brutality mid slide. That kid called me every name in the book. 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣. Now, you don't need to practice that long. But I did. His slide in that game was kind of an overdose. Another tip. Do not play tired. If your a little serious about the game. Make sure your fully awake, and not hungry. Your guaranteed to have a losing streak if your over tired and or hungry.
Also, thanks for the recap and great breakdown of tips. I knew who I wanted to Main but going through invasion got me figuring out who I wanted to play with than just sticking to one
cool video my dude... I purchased premium mk1.. and I decided a while back that this will be the first fighting game Id try to get goot at and play ranked. I choose Reptile as my main for now. Im struggling to pick a good kameo, and something special moves dont come out... and still dont know a good strong combo... its kinda frustrating but Ill start by researching for a fiting kameo and practice basic combos and practice special execution.
People that come from MK11 need to understand this game plays alot different to MK11, MK11 in most of the time was about Mix Ups and catching ur opponent with them to start combos or hit Crushing Blows. In this game however many Chars have no real mix ups except when u pair them with Kameos. In this game most attacks are High or mid eaven if u would think they look like overheads or lows. MK1 is more about pressuring your Opponent while trying to stay save with either save strings or help of Kameo assist to make unsafe strings safe. On the other hand ur defense plan is to wait until the opponent does something unsafe that hit them with ur fastet start up to punish him with a combo. This is really difficult cause u first need to learn all gabs in combos to find a way to punish your oponnent.
Great video, just randomly showed up in my TH-cam feed, I guess cos I've been watching other mortal Kombat stuff, but you've got yourself a new subscriber 👍
Honestly the thing that confuses me is that i play scorpion, and like him alot, and when i check tier list, videos whatever, some videos say hes bad some say his mid and other say he's top tier. Im not really someone to drop a character just because it's bad if i like it but damn it's confusing. Plus if i can find a character that i like AND is really good i feel like it's better to pick that, and it was a good surprise when i saw that both Kenshi and Cage were S tier Also great video! Really helped me haha
I think the best tip is actually so basic that people forget about it. Play the game and put in time. A lot of people get sidetracked landing too much or just watching gameplay and end up daydreaming about what they want to do eventually. Start the game and pick up a controller
oh diaphone my friend the tsareena punish tech is cooking. theres already videos out with examples for every character to get more than just a down poke, im sure most characters will be able to punish tsareena on block with 30 percent combos
Did anyone ever tell you that you look like Ezra Miller from The Flash movie? I have MK 1 on my Nintendo switch. A lot of people are complaining about the Nintendo switch version but the switch version is actually really good. Online and 2 player mode is awesome on the switch. The graphics is good as well. I can't compare MK 1 Nintendo switch graphics to the PS5 because the switch isn't a next gen console and Mortal Kombat 1 was made for Next gen consoles. But for MK 1 to be on the switch is really good especially the gameplay. GREAT VIDEO by the way 🎮🎮
what is delay tech? also sorry i havent played a fighting game since soul caliber 2 on the gamecube haha so this video is so so so helpful to someone like me! liked and subbed
I was so good at mk11 this game just feels way less lenient with timing, ironically I watched mad videos on easier characters for newer players. And I couldn’t seem to get it down, but I went and tried kenshi and something just seemed to click with his timing for me. Still got a lot to learn but it’s a 50/50 for me on which game is better
As a new player trying some of the kombos that the tutorial makes you do, I started raging, so I quit and played the kampaign for a while and now I’m ready to get back at it again (it’s the ashra section of the offenses I think) but I’m also playing on keyboard until I can find a good controller, but stress doesn’t help with gaming anyways.
Oh Ashrah 😭 idk why her specials aren’t sectioned off between Light Stance and Dark Stance. Shang Tsung’s specials are divided between his old and young forms, same for Kenshi between his normal and his Sento stance.
I played online the other day, I was Sub, the guy was Baraka, I picked Sub and he messaged me 'Nah' and then proceeded to say I would spam lows/play a certain way, he had 200+ games played, i had about 20, bro what 😂😂 so the whole 'have fun' tip is a really good one.
I bought the game purely to play as Omni Man. Got matched up with some dude with hundreds of games in ranked on my eighth match. He instantly quit. I messaged him saying are you that scared of a Viltrumite 😂 he instantly blocked me. 😂😂😂
The only thing that ever hurts my enjoyment of online in this game is the sheer lack of creativity in most players. Almost everyone online spam 1-2 combos with no uniqueness in play, no finesse. Even when they are beaten, they still do it. But it’s all raiden’s and smokes and li meis who just get 50% easy kombos lol
I love the color and look of this game so much. But i am dog water in this one. I was decent in MK11 and X but i just cant get my meter burn to work consistently and i cant figure out when its supposed to be my turn. I just get overwhelmed with pressure, and then i lose track of how to string my combos. Its a skill issue for me
The meter in this game is very different. You have to press R2/RT at the exact same time as the final input for the special instead of after the special input like the previous games
I am trying to have fun and having fun playing ranked multiplayer, even tho I am casual as hell. However, the system is bad. One of the reasons I play online matches is to rank up and unlock a certain skin... but people quit, when I am winning - and when they do that, I do not get points. Therefore, the only way for me to get points and rank up is to lose, in which case I get much less points, than by winning. They need to allow us to get a win, if the opponent quits early.
After spamming the one Liu Kang combo I learned through the entire beta and winning more than half the games, I can confirm the first tip is solid.
Nice. Which combo was that?
@@MiniNinjaPKdeez nuts

I gotta say I was skeptical after MK11 that gameplay was not good at all but this game got me labbing for 3 hours at a time it’s a huge improvement

It’s just Tekken strings that you hit confirm into Street Fighter special moves, that’s been the NRS formula since MK9

Challenges are a nightmare in this, but wildly satisfying once you pull it off
Having fun with. MK more than I expected. Blocking is hard as im just accustomed to holding back, gotta stop giving up my life for free.

Same I’m coming from SF6 and man so many times I forget to use the block button I’m like why the hell am I taking damage 😂

Hit confirms were huge for me. How I learned was waiting for the animation of the attack to happen or start then I know to continue with my combo. It's very necessary for some of Sindel's air extender moves or else it will drop.
I'm really interested bud. I've tried Sindel and didn't like what I saw.
What's your strat? Your clearly doing a lot I'm not : )
I tried Sindel first bc i really liked her moveset in the kampain, but decided i need to learn an easier character first. Will def come back to her after learning the game some

It would be awesome if you did a video on how to play Nitara
I liked mkx but hated mk11. This game has brought me back to liking mk. Honestly more than both of those games.
I also hated mk11, this one feels a bit slower than mkx, but i like that they brought back the old meter and new mechanics
People that come from MK11 need to understand this game plays alot different to MK11, MK11 in most of the time was about Mix Ups and catching ur opponent with them to start combos or hit Crushing Blows.

if you hold the left trigger after you just got knocked down it’ll make your character stay down for a bit longer.

Love it! And dont forget to lab!
Nice headphones I got a pair and they work wonders
Great video, really helpful and well produced!
Great video and great advice!
One tip is: Always hope to get player 1 in online, because the gravity is better....p2 always has a disadvantage.
As a new player trying some of the kombos that the tutorial makes you do, I started raging, so I quit and played the kampaign for a while and now I’m ready to get back at it again (it’s the ashra section of the offenses I think) but I’m also playing on keyboard until I can find a good controller, but stress doesn’t help with gaming anyways.
Oh Ashrah 😭 idk why her specials aren’t sectioned off between Light Stance and Dark Stance. Shang Tsung’s specials are divided between his old and young forms, same for Kenshi between his normal and his Sento stance.
I played online the other day, I was Sub, the guy was Baraka, I picked Sub and he messaged me 'Nah' and then proceeded to say I would spam lows/play a certain way, he had 200+ games played, i had about 20, bro what 😂😂 so the whole 'have fun' tip is a really good one.
No way he’s complaining when he’s baraka wtf
I bought the game purely to play as Omni Man. Got matched up with some dude with hundreds of games in ranked on my eighth match. He instantly quit. I messaged him saying are you that scared of a Viltrumite 😂 he instantly blocked me. 😂😂😂
thanks my brother needed it
Awesome video! Thanks!
The only thing that ever hurts my enjoyment of online in this game is the sheer lack of creativity in most players. Almost everyone online spam 1-2 combos with no uniqueness in play, no finesse. Even when they are beaten, they still do it. But it’s all raiden’s and smokes and li meis who just get 50% easy kombos lol
Sooooo true!
This vid was pretty damn helpful thank you.
I love the color and look of this game so much. But i am dog water in this one. I was decent in MK11 and X but i just cant get my meter burn to work consistently and i cant figure out when its supposed to be my turn. I just get overwhelmed with pressure, and then i lose track of how to string my combos. Its a skill issue for me
The meter in this game is very different. You have to press R2/RT at the exact same time as the final input for the special instead of after the special input like the previous games
I am trying to have fun and having fun playing ranked multiplayer, even tho I am casual as hell. However, the system is bad. One of the reasons I play online matches is to rank up and unlock a certain skin... but people quit, when I am winning - and when they do that, I do not get points. Therefore, the only way for me to get points and rank up is to lose, in which case I get much less points, than by winning. They need to allow us to get a win, if the opponent quits early.
Perfect 'K'ontent brother.
