Let me know WHO you main and WHY? Also if you enjoyed show your support by giving this video a LIKE. That way it lets me know to make more of these types of videos!
I used to play scorpion because he's been my favourite mk character since mk9, but picked up fujin and started to main him after he came out. Reason why i main only fujin and scorpion is because both has such badass play styles. However I would like if Fujin got a little buff, I can safely say that after almost 1 month of his release that he needs a little buff. Not dmg wise, but more of his crushing blows. like I mean it, the amount of crushing blows you can't combo off is annoying. For example I mean that I should be able to combo off fujins 11U4 after he gets his crushing blow, if I'm not wrong shang thung has a similar string where he can combo off if he gets a crushing blow on it. Last is, some of fujins attacks need speed buff, after playing alot with him I can assure you how hard it's to punish other people with him, speed is not the only reason it's also because he's attacks that you can punish other people with have a really short reach and you need to be right up close to hit most of his safe attacks. So I think if some of his attacks got a little faster while would be great. Fast attacks with low dmg.
Bro... I'm actually still looking at who my main is... I've tried every character.. And so far.. It's between geras, Kano, sub zero and scorpion to be Hounest... But in online.. It's been geras and kano... Sub zero is good but for some reason I can't use him as I should use him... I did decide Baraka but he's boring..
So for now it's Geras and kano..... But when I do one day get SPAWN.. He will be my main.. Coz I was hyped for him.. And he's perfect for me.. I've seen so many Vids. And he's designed for me..
I honestly don't have a main though I play Noob and Sindel the most. I play Noob because I remember playing back in Mk9 and really loving him. Plus Black is one of my favorite colors so yeah 😅. Sindel is because I have an easy time playing her. I'm able to do some high damage with her and really enjoy playing her.
Also just for a bonus I do play Frost, Erron Black, Fujin and Joker
Sorry if this was annoying to read. good video mate
I play a few characters
D’Vorah, Kabal, Baraka & Shao kahn
D’Vorah because she was new in MKX. I mained her there, Brought her back for 11.
Kabal because He’s a speedster(I love super swift characters, and I also play every fast character in any fighting game. Plus he’s safe on a lot of stuff)
Baraka because He’s typically known for his damage, but I play his other two Variations
Bone picker & Berserker because I find the damage in marauder to be mainstream or overrated. And I was in love with his third variation when it came out. It was meant to be lol.
Shao Kahn because He’s Considered low tier, and the boss/big bad character for like 25 years or so? Lol.
Also, Shao Kahn has some nice looking combos.
This video: *shows a very detailed and educated way of picking your main*
Me choosing my main: "Wow look at this cool friendship!"
🤣👍🏽
Are u talkin about jax?
The reason i may choose Noob is because of his history, Scorpion because his gameplay is so damn cool
⚡ *KIDD THUNDER!* ⚡
I play robocop sometimes just for the moonwalk
I play *NOOB SAIBOT* because" it defines my personality"
-Ethan
He maybe called noob but he actually defeated 4 elemental gods like fujin and defeated scorpion 2 with one lost!
True true he couldnt even beat scorpion and fujin again hes probably very rusty from staying in that soulnado he also flexed his strength in aftermath by getting defeated once again
Man I hate his teleport

@@jenewooyang9144 Are you dense
Maddogg: *makes 10 minute video on how to pick a main*
Me: *Just picks main based on looks and personality*
yep sound bout right
I was completely new to fighting games when I bought MK11 last year, so I knew absolutely nothing about mechanics and playstyles and such. The first character I picked up was Skarlet. I chose her simply because I found her blood powers really cool, and to be honest, because I find her stunningly beautiful. She’s still my main. Everyone says she’s low tier, but to me, even though she lacks in some areas, she’s amazing. By using her online, I win more often than I lose (unless I fight Scorpion or Kung Lao lol). That’s why I don’t like tier lists. Even the characters at the bottom of other people’s lists can be the perfect character for you, like Skarlet is for me. I’m still learning about fighting games, so I actually found this video helpful. For example, I had no idea what footsies were, but now I do, so thank you!
Same, when I started I picked Sindel, and, I’ve never played a fight game so...it was difficult in the beginning because I didn’t get it how to punish or make a combo but, Today I think I’m a good sindel main, and is so much fun playing with her, better than play with Liu Kang or scorpion or subzero, I’m kind of tired of playing against them they are soooo annoying 🙄
Ana Luísa Souza I say as long as you have fun with your main, that’s the most important thing. I’ve played Sindel quite a bit and she really is fun to play. And I completely agree about fighting the same characters over and over again. It gets old very quickly. It’s a lot more fun when there’s a variety in opponents.
I agree that tier lists shouldn’t be a big factor in choosing your main
Tier lists honestly don’t mean anything unless you’re playing in a tournament. If you just a casual player or online warrior just play whoever you like.
I’ve mained Raiden and Shao Kahn since the game came out and they were bottom of tier lists for the longest time, yet I was getting consistent wins with them over Scorpion or Sub Zero.
Punish teleports and dive kicks with 124 instead of 212. When Lao teleports duck and uppercut or poke with 1
Me chosing Kabal: I'M FAST AF BOIIIIIIIIIII
Yes.
I Play Terminator because: GET OVER HERE
Me chosing Shao Kahn: STOP!!! Hammer time!!
Me as Fujin: Wind go BRRRR
Me as Joker huluhulmuhultra
Chose to play Erron Black because I was annoyed with everyone’s ending story with the hourglass. He threw that shit into the sea of blood.
Was like “yup. That’s it”
My main is dvorah I love her grab and her uppercut because it’s so easy to land just like the kollector which is my second main
@@ilenejimenez6919 damn u main the most hated and ugly ppl
@@Ug1yKarma ugly is the best :)
@@ilenejimenez6919 Terminator , and Kollector OR Scorpion
I knew once we got Fujin I was going to main him since I've waited to play with him for 10 years. He is a BEAST to learn, but the satisfaction is real once I got the hang of him.
same except with sindel i played mk when i was like 4 so she came out and i loved it
I just bought than game and want to master him, but that’s not quite easy since it’s my first actual mk, I had played mk9 before but I would just play moon saibot lol
I actually just downloaded the game and finished the campaign, started learning cetrion but it's a curve
"Noob considered a zoning character" Have you been drinking with Bo Rai Cho? 🍺🍷
Actually he is considered a zoner. I researched and his clone is considered a projectile. He plays best mid to long range because of his clone. That is not to say he is bad at close. He is a neutral Playstyle which means he can get in. But also notice that the clone has no hit box? So it’s an actual projectile otherwise it will have a hurt box making it a part of noob
Justyn jmsr considering his play style involves around his clone, which is a projectile, a zoning tool by definition means he is a zoner play style. He is most effective playing zoning. I would label him a neutral character. Because he heavily relies on spacing. He dosent have the best mix ups to open people up. Just because a pro player uses him does not mean that play style is define by that. Since they are pro players, they can use anyone and play them efficiently outside of their normal strong suits. Most of my detail information came from raptor. A huge former pro player that has made website/channel covering character guides, combos, and strategy. Go visit it. www.kombatakademy.com/
Justyn jmsr did u read the part of former pro player? Not just content creator, heck sonic fox is now one too. I mean it does not take that much to analyze and honestly all perspectives are subjective. But based on tool kits you can make up on what they are meant to be. Not sure why u think everything that sonic fox says is valid or 100% true. He once made a tier list covering all character stating they are all well S tier or something. And said the community just sucks. Tier list is constantly vastly different from each pro player. Will you play a character the same way he does? Impossible because he uses flawless blocking, wavedashing, perfect blocking etc, stronger mechanics that rewards rushdown/closequarters. Which most of the playerbase cannot utilize that stuff.
Besides, I have played him, I even made a combo guide with him in the past. Sure I dont play with him much but I have noticed his playstyle. The most tools he offers are from far to mid range. That is not to say he is terrible at close range as he is a hybird but that is where his strength relies on.
Justyn jmsr the way ur commenting u must be a child or a major sonic fox fanboys. Noob saibot isn’t a rushdown character and sonic fox has never said noob is a rushdown character. Noob is a neutral character and he’s not a zoner either but the term “zoning” has a few different definitions depending on who u ask. The definition I agree with when it comes to zoning, I don’t consider noob a zoner simply bc of the fact he doesn’t play the same way like skarlet or cetrion does who have multiple projectiles and play full screen. Noob likes to play from mid screen/ full screen at times. He is not a rushdown character by any means, he doesn’t have any high pressuring staggers, he doesn’t have any mids he can stagger to generate pressure either like most of the rushdown in this game. U just seem to be delusional or idk what it is bc it’s so odd u took that much offence to someone saying noob is a zoner. He’s sure as hell not rushdown
MadDoggGames noob isn’t a zoner, he’s a footsie character that rushes down people. Noob wants to play at his f2 or b3 range. Full screen is where he struggles most
I use Liu Kang because I love Shaoilin monk and Bruce Lee inspired characters. The bicycle kick and flying dragon kick are two of my favorite special moves in fighting game. The plus for me is that Liu is top tier and I love his design and balanced playstyle.
i main liu kang cuz he is op. Its not that deep 😂 😂
@We Like Glizzy Not you responding to me from 6 months ago 😂😂😂
@We Like Glizzy Also, your name is sus, hope my girl says that to me tho
@We Like Glizzy 2 years worse than 6 months but you still a hypocrite 😂😂
@We Like Glizzy literally the only difference is I the actual time lengths but we both still replied to very old comments, so you trying to call me out is just moronic. Especially for no reason
I mained Kabal, Noob and Rain, liked them originally for looks and then immediatly fell in love with their kits and how they play since UMK3
Kabal is my main, personally my favorite character in the MK franchise. Pretty neat power he has too
1:07
I think we all know there are two reasons for playing Sindel MadDogg 😏
Lethal Hero im a simple man, I see bobs I main them 🤣😉
@@MadDoggGames simple man with a simple policy. I respect that shit.
@@MadDoggGames Simple man you are
@@MadDoggGames true XD
So is she your main?
Baraka
1. High damage
2. Easy combos
3. Good range moves
4. Safe combos on blocks
5. Good anti-zone
6. Effective from all parts of the screen
Baraka can eat my brain any day, mostly because he would kill me in an instant, but still
I respect your choice but baraka bcuz of that kick combo is not fair
Baraka doesn't have very good anti zone tools, maybe I suck but thats how i feel
I main Kitana,Jade and Skarlet because the first time I saw them at mk9 I got in loved by their play style Kitana with the skill on them fans! And Jade by her awesome "athletism" and Skarlet because of her blood magic
Me too👍
Sure, buddy, I believe you.
sure buddy... sure
I play em cause they're sexy as hell
I main Kitana. Find her easy to play and feel good going up against most of the cast with her. Also because she looks great lol
Same except that you can easily scrap damage if they try to rush
Yes, when i played her in story, it was really easy to pull of low input high dmg combos
Kitana in mk9 was so broken lol
I'm a huge martial artist nerd and I've been in love with Kung Lao's strings since MKX because they just look so awesome.
Yea I main Kano
Kano is an icon 🤍
My choice depends on the game, but I usually go for the more agile characters like Kitana, Mileena and Sonya, with Kitana being the go-to; however, for MK11, I've found that I really like Sindel and she's actually become my favorite character for this game. Her uppercut is killer; her moves are fun, but it's her combos that are great. Hard to block for many. The only downside is getting a long-range "spammer" who just throws stuff at you. I can do that, too, with her, but it's hard to get into close range to stop the other opponent.
I main Scorpion, I’ve mained him in every MK game I’ve played (5, 9, X, and 11) mostly just because he’s cool.
In 11 I made my own Scorpion variation that’s kind of a zoner and kind of an all rounder, using death spin at long range and demon breath at short range to force opponents back or knock them down
same here!
Your video just made it even clearer to me why I chose Raiden in the first place. I think he covers all the things I like the most about a character, from his background (a mentor and, in his "dark version", a fallen hero) to his play style (not exceeding at anything, but being able to do a little bit of everything) - although it's been really hard to learn how to use him well, mainly due to footsies. Amazing content, MadDogg! Glad to see people like you do some much for this community! :-)
As a Kabal main ... i am not happy with your main for clear reasons ...
Jax main since day one. I’ve tried to play with other characters, but I just don’t feel as good as I do when I play as him. Like I don’t have as much fun. I remember when I first got the game, I tried out everyone in practice mode and Jax happened to fit like a glove. I like the sounds his fists make when he hits other characters and how they heat up. Plus, he’s a bully in this game.
Good strategy. I recently used some of these same ideas to pick up Sub-zero full time--the mix-ups, ease of combos, and also nostalgia, as the avalanche traps reminded me of his MK2 & 3 play style.
My main is Jade. I like her speed & agility as well as her use of weapons like the staff & razor rang. I also like how she’s very poised & almost doesn’t look like a fighter until you see how effective she is! I also enjoy playing with Baraka & Kabal. I guess I like how they’re all pretty slick & use handheld weapons as their main attack.
I’ve been a Kung Lao fan for decades. The hat throw is my favorite MK attack. Recently I changed to Kabal and Jade, they just sense to me.
My mains are
Kollector: He was the character that mad fighting games click for me and gave me success early and now
Raiden: Love the lore, powers, and spacing of him
Fujin: Im all about high execution things
Kotal: Counter zoning with that heal and those totems
me: sees he mains Kortal for anti zoning. also me a Erron black main:
Reptile, Kano and Kung Jin were my mains in mkx. That carried over into mk11, so now I main Kano (Dirtbag and a custom variation)
My main is Spawn, because he's just the most fun to play for me, and all his actions are really badass. Not to mention that he is actually my favourite comic book character, so not only I like him the most as a playable character, but also as a character in general.
*Picks Jax* PING PING PING.. PING “crushing blow”.
Lmao his pings are pretty satisfying ngl
Like Avatar: the last Airbender? PICK FUJIN or AVATAR CETRION
exactly what i was thinking
LMAO THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED AS CETRION I GASPED SHES LIKE THE AVATAR HXHSHDH
Im a Sub-Zero main purely because of nostalgia and should I ever have the ability to pick a superpower.... It would most certainly be the ability to form/make/control ice in many of the same ways Sub can.... My decision was easy & Love the video bro !
Why ice though...
@@gauzy5403 honestly.... Had always been fascinated with it and the visuals of iced over objects is breathtaking.... Maybe Im weird idk lol
Learn how to work ice and make sculptures, don't contribute to the laggy Subs overcrowding, please.
@@franklinskies9604 being a fan is being a fan and definitely not changing my favorite due to someone elses say so.... Thats where I fall in line, your issue with laggy subs is one of your own boss
@@bennettbranch7958 Which variation of Sub? All 3 have different playstyles. Sub pre-MK11 had the clone, I'll miss those days..
Scorpion’s my main for the whole MK franchise.
Honestly boys, just go for the one you like. It doesn't matter if their playstyle is "zoner" or "pressure" but if u only pick a main for abilities and not actually like them, you won't have fun playing the game
Yknow i feel like abilitys would be a good reason to like a character.
I main sonya and cassie cuz I love their personality
I main Robocop. His whole play style is keeping the enemy far away (he has two short and easy combos that are designed to punish the enemy for getting too close, and force them back into a corner), and then hammering them down with projectiles. He’s incredibly difficult to deal with, unless you’re Jade, Nightwolf or Jacqui.
lmao Johnny, Cassie, Liu Kang, Kung Lao will close the gap quickly before you can react, robocop is a very bad character. Jade is really not much of a rush down, she has long reach with her stick but she is also slow and vulnerable.
Seems like spamming to me
@@leiperfamily7707Robocop Is designed to be a spammer, melee is just not His style
Just say you hate combos
Speaking as someone who last was a serious fighting gamer when Tekken 3 was the big hotness, I tend to favor a character that can do a little bit of everything like Jin Kazama with rushdown tactics being my backup style. Funnily enough, this made Nina Williams my secondary main because I could ignore her command grabs in favor of waiting for my opening and just going blitz on the opponent. These days, I don't have time to get into the Meta so I just pick characters I think are cool and learn them as best I can.
How I pick main character: trying combos in practice mode with standing opponent for 15 mins > finding opponent in online matchmaking > ending up with 1/6 ratio
Great video! Personally, I'm a Liu Kang main. Really I picked him because as a kid I loved playing as the main hero. Plus when I play him today, I found his easy to pick up, balanced style was what I was looking for. The other characters I use are Shang Tsung, Nightwolf, and the Joker. Now my reasons for picking them are not really on playstyle. Shang Tsung I picked because his morphing into the other ninjas reminded me of Chameleon, a character I like. Nightwolf? I loved his revenant skins and over time liked his overall presentation. Joker? Favorite DC villain, hands down.
I like Scorpion and Lui Kang because of quick combos and learning path. And for the somewhat agressive playstyle if done right
Frost! I love her overall design! I love her kombos and aggressiveness!👍👍👍
me too
In MKX my main was Tanya (the stick variation). I was so good with it and enjoyed it so much. In MK11, well, I've only started playing it two days ago so I don't know yet, but I like Jade's play style so far.. Haven't even tried all characters yet.
I'm maining jokers Mad man variation right now. Super easy to learn 15+ combos plus he has far range attacks. Loving him
That variation is very fun, but people say his others are better. I like it because of the bigger and longer combo potential
Somehow fell in love with Raiden during my journey of being in the MK fandom, I loved his powers and callouts but as I played through mk11 I really started to like his personality too. He's always been my main player.
Kitana is my 2nd place if i'm bored as Raiden or lost as Raiden too many times. She's just a badass and I love her designs. She's also fun to play as in general. Liu Kang is my favorite as well but I hate playing as him because I guess I prefer playing as long range/spacing characters with combos that are easy to remember.
Random characters I enjoy playing as from time to time are Johnny Cage and Kotal Kahn.
I main Noob Saibot.
I was the button masher type of player, but now I’m a combo player. Noob’s regular attack combos are super easy to do, and I found this out by button mashing and now i’ve mastered how I mash the controls to get the good combos. I’m also a huge fan of his special attacks.
Yo I don't know what's happening....but this is the best guide I've ever seen since I started playing fighting games!!!! This is absolutely mad!!!! I don't know anymore....You're the best bro!!!!!!!
Came back to this video after first seeing it elder gods know how long ago and found myself agreeing with it even more. Currently Maining Noob, Sindel and Frost while having The Joker, Rain, Spawn and Shang Tsung as my sort of back up or just for fun characters. Oh and awesome video👍🤘
I am new to MK11, I main Sonya because I like the play style, she feels like a brawler. Plus she was the first I tried and I just stuck with her. I can do high damage combos but I still have much to learn. I’m 2/2 so far in Kombat League
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. Just picked up MK11 ultimate and have never really played a fighting game before. Stoked to learn
Rain. Mainly because of evaporate.Just completely invincible. Also cause his name represents the weather perfectly. It just always rains.
Is anybody gonna realize most of his character skins are the klassic skins? Well i mean, yeah i gotta respect that, id main all of the klassic skins.
To be honest, most characters I love to play have fighting styles that I’m very interested in, or if they just have good grabs and/or a nice moveset. Like Jax, so far.
Im in the process of maining Rain. He’s safe of 80% of his attacks and his dash speed makes it easy to whiff punish which I love doing.
I now know how to play about 85% of the roster thx u for these tips it only took me a full month ❤
How did I pick my main character, Kotal Kahn? Simple, because he looks like my former main character from another fighting game, Tekken Tag 2's Ancient Ogre👍🏾
I respect that
Having only played Mortal Kombat 11, meaning it was my first experience in playing the game, I wasn’t sure who to main. However after watching gameplay as well as the cutscenes of the stories of all MK games, I decided I’d main Sindel. The reason for this is because she, as a character, really intrigued me, I just loved her design, who she is and how deep her lore goes. I was just drawn to her. Anyway, That’s why I main Sindel XD.
Same. Ppl say she’s a bitch now and they hate her but I really liked her and I didn’t know her as a good character bc I haven’t played the older games. I think it’s a bias of the fans knowing her heroic side. If she had always been evil it probably wouldn’t be a big deal and they could appreciate her character now the way I do
@@nevafails6185 It may not seem like a big deal, but having that disconnect from Kitana and the rest of the Edenians because she is evil honestly makes me hate the new change. I loved the special relationship she had with Kitana, and in turn, Kitana saving her from mind control was honestly what made me love those two characters. The evil Sindel honestly is bad just because of her only liking Shao Kahn, she has no interesting relationships with anyone because everyone hates her now.
@@viktoryc like I said I didn’t play the games where all that happened but it looks like that’s going to happen again. Katanas boyfriend is in control of time. She probably won’t be evil much longer. I only know the evil version of her and she’s a bad ass villain imo. But I can see her being a heroic character as a cool thing too.
@@nevafails6185 I honestly like her new personality, just not the intentions. She is pretty damn bad ass so I'd want her to become heroic, but still not take crap from anyone who tries to control her (aka making the redemption arc actually character developing) so I like the kind of sassy personality, just not her intentions
@@viktoryc i totally get that. I’d love to see her change and become a hero and those villain ways come thru from time to time to reflect all the shit she’s been through
I main baraka because I am a huge dc fan (specifically killer croc) and that skin he has was right up my alley.
All My Johnny Cage mains join together
Before I bought MK11 I planned on main Skarlet and Erron Black because they looked cool, but once I picked up the game I found myself more comfortable using Sonya and Kano. Kano is still my main since then because I LOVE his design in MK11 and his fatalities are great, plus I love his introductory lines and attitude lol. Lately I've been playing a lot with Johnny and he's super fun to use too!
Would you settle for me sausage (kano)
Rambo often people underestimate him but once you learn how to play him you are unstoppable. I also like his playstyle
Edit: I also main scorpion because he is well rounded in every place
I really don't know what I'm doing here since skarlet is my main but very good video❤️
I still appreciate you stopping by and checking it out :D
Jax. I love the pressure of his play style. I also play Shao Khan just because he's been my favorite character since I got into MK
I also just started to pick up Cassie
You're pretty underrated my dude ❤️
I try my best, but its hard getting noticed..
I chose Scorpion as main because he is simple to use at all distances and in all situations, and with him it'is easy to make combos. MadDogGames continue to make useful videos like this 👍👍👍
Very nice!
Retard bait Scorpion claims another
Good run through! Thanks mate!
Now I know what types of characters I need to main based on my play style. Thanks!
No problem, thanks for watching
I decided to main Spawn and Scorpion (I also have Rambo as a pocket fighter) mostly because I enjoy fast gameplay and flashy combos from both of these characters. Though Spawn may be slower his combos never cease to impress me.
Spawns combos with soul forfeit are almost broken 😮💨 so much damage lol
I main scorpion and Spawn as well
I like to have both a male and female main, plus a couple backups. It’s always been Kabal for me when available, and Mileena. I pick them based on style of play and the bonus of looking good in the process. Before Mileena I rotated between Sonya, Skarlet and Kitana, as they are all uniquely engaging via pressure game, mixups and zoning.
Now that all characters are out though I’m leaning towards Rain (great pressure game and so many options) for my backup male main and either Sindel or Sonya for backup female. I’ve been away from the game for a while so will need to lab them both to decide. Probably Sindel since she’s much further from just a female equivalent of Rain.
I just started 2 days ago and I’ve learnt liu Lang the most, ino the basic combos like f4 3 bf4 or 3 amp amp. And 1 2 3 bf3 or 4 amp amp. I like Scarlett and jade. I chose liu kang due to the tier list but also looked their play styles and I like his
Dude this video is sick.. thanks man
For the longest time I mained kabal and thought I was good with him. I was really just incredibly random and spammy with him. More recently I picked up shao kahn and I somehow do way better with him. I have a more gameplan, I play calculated mind games, and I love putting people in the corner with him. Honestly he's my best character at this point, which is kinda wierd. If I ever come across someone who can consistently flawless block my forward 3,4 I'm basically handicapped, playing about half as well as usual.
Hey I'm new to your channel and I love it already! I'm looking forward to watching more and applying the knowledge to the game. I've been maining scorpion but I want to find a new character to learn and thinking Liu Kang.
Being a Reptile/Quan Chi main, this video helps out quite a bit
Main D'vorah up here.
I absolutely love her look, playstyle - and her overall creepy bug vibe.
I love what she represents also - protecting your family at all costs.
Everything she's doing its for the Hive. I adore that.
Her voice, attitude, and everything about her just drawing me to her.
P.S - I really love that they added her stings out at all time - it is completing her bug look.

@@betsytomke6611Preach
I main Cetrion for her playstyle, lore, and just her character in general. I also side main Sindel because she is a baddie and her playstyle is fun!
I'm stubborn. I choose a character based on their looks and learn them. I started playing dvorah, who in my opinion is very hard for beginners. If I don't like a characters playstyle, I go to the next most appealing. If I'm having trouble finding a main, I feel out every character. In overwatch I gathered a bunch of characters I liked and chose the ones I like the best gameplay wise. In fighting games I don't really know the archetype I like. Mkx mains were tarkatan alien, and mileena. In inj2 my main was enchantress. In mk11 my main is dvorah, but I side main johnny.
Thanks for explaining your categories.
I decided to main Noob Saibot on the first day MK11 was released since he was my favorite Mortal Kombat kharacter. I began to memorize his gameplay and turned him into an amazing rush down kharacter!
I main the Terminator, because of two reasons, he’s my favorite Sci-Fi hero, and his Mixups and Abilities makes people rage quit.
Yeah if you haven’t tried yet, try his extra combos one of them is a great combo starter!
Ooo your the guy from the sub zero guide, that helped me out a bunch.
Also me a 100%sub zero main watching ho to main jajaja
This is the best “how to pick a main” video I’ve seen.
I try to main at least one character of each playstyle. It'll take a long time to learn everything, but I think it will be good for being flexible with counter picks. For example: If someone picks Jacqui (Rushdown), I can pick Cetrion (Zoner).
The lack of kotal kahn players is sad. I’ve been playing Kotal since day one and he is just insane. If anyone wanna learn him and is on ps4 tell me.
I just started mk11 a few days ago and was immediately drawn to kotal kahn. I laugh when people give him a C tier rank.
Wanna know some tips
@@SebastianRodriguez-bp8hc for sure
If youre on ps4 send me a friend request to Undying_bops and we’ll practice.
Yooo help a brother outtt
Haven't played MK11 yet, but in other fighting game I usually pick a Grappler type character, so maybe I'll start things off with Jax, Geras or Sheeva. I do like Kung Lao a lot from his portrayal and looks, so that might be another option for me when I buy this game in the future
Liu Kang, Skorpion, Cassie and Johnny Cage, Skarlet and Raiden are my mains of sorts (mostly Liu and Cassie). I do enjoy Kotal, Kitana, Sub Zero and Kung Lao as changes of pace though.
I'd say my play style is balanced/rush down but I really groove with Skarlet and Raiden from longer ranges. I just love to get into the nitty gritty up close and personal but also be a jack of all trades that isn't totally down and out from longer ranges.
Yes new mk11 video!
Yes very excited to be uploading. More to come, my summer vacation started this week 👍🏽
MadDoggGames keep up the good work my dude I like watching ur vids!
Been rocking scorpion since you had to put your quarters up to play back in 1992.
Same
For that reason alone, I’ve tried to specialize in beating scorpion online. Mk11 has some seriously cool characters. I want to punish the unimaginative masses that use scorpion.
@@chazbono5991 what are you a cringe anime character?
@@kevgreen3064 hmmmm🤔 maybe you could elaborate? I truly don’t know how you got anime from any of that. I’m a long time mk fan, that has suffered scorpion for years. He’s more played than ever now, and I spitefully try to maximize my W/L against him.
@@chazbono5991 you talk like a anime character.
The only game I ever really learned was Killer Instinct and got freakishly good at it. But now as an adult I really want to learn MK. I really love what they have done with it. I think I want to play the story mode a few times and the traditional tower to help me pick. Start out button mashing, learn as you go. I feel like that will help me find something.
yeah, I was the same with street fighter. When I first started out I would just button mash and usually lose all games and then I actually looked into combos and a good main and now I'm fairly decent.
I picked jacqui and scorpion.
At first i went with jax because i liked grapplers but then i realized his combos were short, hard to execute and incredibly slow compared to other characters.
Jacqui has a whole meterless combo thats easy to execute and deals 60 % damage with the kustom im using. It has the fake-out for mix-ups, the grapple for extended combos and maneuverability and the knee kick for extra damage on big combos and making the enemy guess if ill use the knee or if ill punch (tricks people quite often in low ranks) + jacqui has very nice consistent combos that are way faster compared to jax.
My second pick is scorpion simply because he was my main in MK9 and his combos are very stylish and tricky to guess sometimes.
My mains:
Scorpion: He was easy to learn and has good kombos and his skins are very suitable for him.
Kabal: He is very easy to learn and has safe and unsafe strings but you have to be smart and his skins are amazing.
Sub-Zero: He has possibly the easiest krushing blow and is a good rush down and zoner but some of his skins are terrible.
Noob Saibot: He is a good zoner and rushdown making his kombos even more deadly and his game play deadlier.
Liu Kang: He is probably one of the most easy to play and high damaging characters in the game and his game play is excelent.
Kitana: She is very easy to play and got alot of buffs making her gameplay even deadlier and stronger
Jade: Has easy game play and good kombo starters, she is a god. And her skins are awsome
Raiden: He's got alot of safe strings and he is a top tier character with alot of good finshers
Kabal doesnt have unsafe strings
Wtf raiden is mid tier
Raiden got buffs in the update
But you are right, Kabal doesn't have any unsafe strings
Kitana is not easy !! My guy rephrase that
Joker cause his variation 3 is easy to learn his, combos are easy, and this costumes are amazing
This video itself enough for make me sub bro thanks.
I’ve been an ermac and kenshi main for years. til this day the pain in my chest just won’t go away..
I’m gay so my mains are all girls 😂😂
“Can’t fight crime if you ain’t cute”
Hey I kinda follow that similar model, my main are Johnny and Sindel...
Pls same
🤣😂😂
Ayyy gay gang?
Dat part, I've always mained Kitana shes been that btch and more
I mained Mileena because I always had her mained for as long as I could remember I literally like 6 lol
She is absolutely beautiful in my eyes her Tarkatan side is so pretty to me and gives her spice, unlike all the plain janes. Her fighting style to me is so unique. I'm still learning to use her since just recently I got the mk11 I've using mkx for a while so still got lots to learn.
I have been using noob as a main forever but after applying your tips I changed to Erron black. 🎉
Kollector is my main because his combos are mid-tier difficult but very effective, some of his true combos can take half your life. Its really good
For a second there i thought the thumbnail said : How to pick your *man* in mortal kombat
I like sindel too akhem...
Just found your channel in trying to git gud on MK11 switch (only console I have). Fantastic overviews.
I’ve always just picked who I feel more comfortable using . My main is Scorpion . I really know how to chain his moves and combos together to get the W
