Ihated Geeras in mK11 both his gameplay and storymode appearance were boring to me... but then when he got revealed on the "Keeper of time" trailer with Liu Kang, iwas blown away by how much they made him more appealing visually, more interesting storywise and most importantly super fun to use while being quite technical He is now my second main after Liu Kang 😂 Loved the content and learned a lot thanks to the guide
I like that he is ride-or-die with Liu Kang in MK1. I also had the same feelings about his gameplay and his role in the MK11 story. I thought he was just a boring automaton. MK1 is the complete opposite. He’s my pocket character. I main Ashrah.
I don’t know who’s over this channel but this should be the standard to all the videos. This was the most detailed. Even included combos that I could write down.
Hands down the best character guide I’ve ever watched! GRR, you’re a legend, thank you! This character has to have to most moves in the game, thanks for explaining them all! The timing on that first combo is so tight after the time freeze, if you start F242 too soon you get a different move, if you’re too slow then you don’t have time for the follow up 122-1+2. Any tips? Or just practice makes perfect?
Just like anything else, it takes practice. The pros don't become pros overnight. They literally put thousands of hours into these games. Take it one step at a time.
thx for the video. with a video of this length i would like some more bookmarks though. the "pokes" part clocking in at 35mins is massive and I didnt really know where to skip to get to the part of the video that really interested me.
When it comes to Kameos, I’m shocked you didn’t mention Scorpion or Sonia or even Jax. I feel Kameos are really underrated on their utility just because early on a lot of people are using brain dead kameos like Sareena and Cyrax. I honestly don’t play Geras yet, I am looking at some Kombos first before I really deep dive him in practice mode, but Kung Lao is probably his best Kameo pairing just because of the meterless advantage you gain off the free time freeze. Then when I think of overall utility including kombo extension, Jax and Sonia stand out to me a lot. Jax can easily combo into his backbreaker off of many strings that I saw Geras perform, and Jax down+KM leaves you pretty safe on block if you realized you may have overextended a bit. Sonia definitely helps with kombo routes once you get the flow started. May even be able to try some sneaky countdown or time freeze setups with her projectile from full range. I even think Goro could be decent at keeping a lot of his strings safe on block. And also when going for the f44 combo starter, if you notice they block low alot, you can cancel the first f4 into b+KM to call out Goro for a low grabbing command throw and free juggle. A throw that also easy to combo into btw. Then Scorpion with his spear pull making you safe on soke combo strings. His cheeky overhead from far poke range, and very easy to combo off fire breath. Definitely need more exploring into these characters with Kameos. Geras seems really cool. Wanted to pick him up from the start but I’ve been labbing Scorpion hard with a bunch of kameos and figuring out how versatile and creative this game allows you to be in fights. (Outside of fights is another story 😩)
Some good points in general re Kameos here and definitely interested to see what other synergy’s are found, but a couple of things to bat back on re obvious choices.. I know sareena is the most brain dead / overused Kameo. It’s because she can easily add decent damage to a combo, which imo isn’t the most important thing. But I think this is actually more important for geras as he’s so meter hungry, and needs to sacrifice damage for hourglasses in combos - sareena can give him the extra damage he’s sacrificing as well as a tool to help against keep away opponents. Also, I think Geras could have some nasty time stops catching opponents over sareenas ground curse. This could be super frustrating to play against. So I think sareena is a legit strong pick for Geras, just so happens to be the Kameo everyone else is using.. As for cyrax, another overused cameo because of the jailing and chip damage of the helicopter spin, which is good for practically all characters, but for Geras, he also benefits massively from the net as you can get 3 hourglasses in one combo using it. This is huge imo. You can get 27% off of a finger snap or use X-ray from it from anywhere on the screen. I didn’t realise kung lao could extend no meter time stop which is also a big deal, allowing you to conserve meter for breakers, meter burn hourglass, or the double meter burn clone ability etc. Along with his low hat makes him another top choice for Geras. All 3 of these kameos have multiple utilities for Geras which I think makes them the best options depending on your play style. I have just started picking geras up since seeing a couple of high level players using him. I want to main him but yeah, practice mode is very different from a real match. I go from being able to do 35-40% combos to punishing whiffs with a grapple instead 😂 panick mode lol. Honestly though there’s so much depth to Geras and so many play styles, I can’t see myself playing any other character now!
great guide! is anyone able to explain to me how to get the triple hourglass combo to work? i am unable to get the 1,2,2, 1+3 to finish after f2, db3. could really use some tips please!
Question: How do you make the sandstorm follow the opponent? For instance: I know when you enhance the sandstorm the hour glass appears but it stays stationary. When Im fighting AI I notice that they can make the hour glass follow me and after a short time the sandstorm appears.
27:17 I DID NOT KNOW YOU CAN COUNTER WHILE GETTING COMBO’D BY AN OPPONENT!!! They really need to update this damn game and put descriptions In every moveset. Smh lazy axx dev team.

We wanted to premiere this guide in cinemas, but worldwide TH-cam release will have to do, enjoy!
Is the Pokes section supposed to be 37.5 mins long or should there be more timestamps?
@@mrjoey94lmao nah man thosr are pokes

He is now my second main after Liu Kang 😂
Loved the content and learned a lot thanks to the guide
I like that he is ride-or-die with Liu Kang in MK1.
I also had the same feelings about his gameplay and his role in the MK11 story. I thought he was just a boring automaton. MK1 is the complete opposite. He’s my pocket character. I main Ashrah.
MK11 geras was basically just sandtrap spam and clone setups
Literally the only person who has explained his combo break rewind thing. I never got it to work right against Johnny. You're da best Grr
Burritos vorhees and forever king I think touch on it too if you want more info on it
Grr is GOATED. Been following you since you made KDZ sweat with your Bane.
I don’t know who’s over this channel but this should be the standard to all the videos. This was the most detailed. Even included combos that I could write down.
It’s 2023 just rewind the video on your phone and use the pen to write something more worth while
Me: Geras seems complicated. Maybe I'll check out the DashFight video to pick him up.
1 hour later: Well I was right.
Hands down the best character guide I’ve ever watched! GRR, you’re a legend, thank you! This character has to have to most moves in the game, thanks for explaining them all!

kenshi actually is
Definitely the best Geras guide, from genuinely one of the best pro players in scene. This was packed with so much knowledge
Powerful Grr. Excellent guide. I don’t play Geras but i did learn some things for fighting against him.
GRRRRR the legend
bro i mained geras in mk11 and I've been trying to main him in mk1 this helped A LOT I was still doing two uppercuts in time freeze LMFAO
tysm for the guides
This is a crazy good video for learning Geras, thank you
great guide🔥
Yoo I've been looking for Grr everywhere!
Extra Kameo: Motaro - Gives a free EX Time Stop with his Teleport. So 1 Kameo Time Stop, instead of 1 Bar TimeStop
Goro: (Can Tap the button 2x during timestop for extra damage + '4' Kicks), On Block Pressure, Launcher
this just made me learn that I can’t do good in mortal kombat no matter what character
Of course you can!
Just like anything else, it takes practice. The pros don't become pros overnight. They literally put thousands of hours into these games. Take it one step at a time.
Did not expect grr to sound so zesty
We still love him
Best Geras guide so far thank u
Favorite character, favorite player
very nice guide, ty a lot
The Forward 1+4+3 Grab
Means to press square & circle & X or the Grab Button together to perform this move Correct (?)
thx for the video. with a video of this length i would like some more bookmarks though. the "pokes" part clocking in at 35mins is massive and I didnt really know where to skip to get to the part of the video that really interested me.

EPIC GUIDE 🥵🤠 and Shang guide pls
How to do the one bar breaker?
I LOVE YOU GRRRR
great guide! is anyone able to explain to me how to get the triple hourglass combo to work? i am unable to get the 1,2,2, 1+3 to finish after f2, db3. could really use some tips please!
and nvm! was able to get it after trying harder lmao. ty dashfight and Grr for taking me to the next level in my Geras play.
*Instructions Unclear, Proceeds to do BBC Combo*
How did you pick up your opponent breaking the hourglass in the round what button was pushed (?)
Question: How do you make the sandstorm follow the opponent?
For instance: I know when you enhance the sandstorm the hour glass appears but it stays stationary. When Im fighting AI I notice that they can make the hour glass follow me and after a short time the sandstorm appears.
Grr is goat. THanks for the guide
I remember you Grrrr when you beat that sektors ass in the MKX NJ tourny
Shang tsung please🙏
The killing engine.
What does S stands for? Im trying to read these combo strings! Tks
standing
27:17 I DID NOT KNOW YOU CAN COUNTER WHILE GETTING COMBO’D BY AN OPPONENT!!! They really need to update this damn game and put descriptions In every moveset. Smh lazy axx dev team.
is it just me or xbox people can’t meter burn bf 3💀
That's why you need to swap right bumper and right trigger. I have block (and amplify) on right bumper and it's much, much easier.
Is Mk racist ? How come Geros can’t use kameo when his clone is out but Kenshi can have his ancestor rip up shi while kameo doing damage
What
Damn! Not everybody's meant to be a teacher. No biggie.
