Due to overwhelming demand, here is Choose your Kameo! The companion video the the "Choose a Main" video! Your Kameo choice is just as important to the gameplay as the proper character you choose, so in this video let me go over all the Kameo characters and what they can offer to you and your gameplay! For the really big vids if you can spare a like it would be greatly appreciated, and otherwise dig in and hope you enjoy the video and hope it helps!
@@Butterfree_haterthere’s been a lot of reptile, and smoke. A few sub zeros, reikos and raidens. 1 shao, 2 raidens, and one mileena. Vast majority of people are running sareena
@@benedictstreet645 same, very excited to play. Reiko having I believe a 13f, +8 on block move was one of the first things to tell me they aren't playing with this game being evil
Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the fighting game community and for this breakdown. I'm shopping around for characters and kameos to play, looking for good combos. I played Tanya a bit before I jumped over to Reptile, didn't spend too much time on her. Trying to make Motaro work, having fun with Cyrax. It can be overwhelming and high execution to pull off some of these combos. Here you are breaking down Scorpion with Tanya and find her back 3 4 4 string that combos with Scorpion's ambush, and now I have an incredibly flashy combo I can pull off with 2 Scorpion flame ambushes and her air teleport when she's fully charged. I don't know how long it would've taken me to discover that myself. This game is incredibly satisfying when you can pull off all this crazy stuff. I can't thank you enough for showing off all this!
If you know the channel, you know whats next! A proper Beginners guide going over the gameplay systems in depth, and 10 essential tips. Beginner guide live Monday or launch day Tuesday I think. If I am smart I take tomorrow off(im so tired) but im probably not smart so maybe a video tomorrow.
Question : can I tanka hit with Sushinko while he's sitting in the air in front of me ? Can i call him while in "round two " about to start before the narrator says " fight " ?
Your "How to Choose" videos are always your best work. I listen to each one a good five or six times, easy-even for games I have zero interest in ever playing. Thanks for what you do.
Thats the thing, already I see most people just focusing on getting an extra 5-7% damage like its the be all end all. Its way more important to be able to get that hit to begin with. The guy who gets 2 clean hits for every 1 you get is gonna win a lot faster even if your combo does a bit more damage, neutral is super important (and part of the reason why I think lao's hat toss is so busted)
Kameos are trash imo. I really wish they had just made this a 1v1 because the characters are so well done this time! And c1 is op af again. I really like how everybody plays though...Sareena needs to die.
@@ammi5311But you can't really bank on finishing it that quickly when they can just choose to break away, in which case you want to be able to get those first hits.
Some of the Kameos I'm most interested in trying out are Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Jax, and Motaro. I think Sub-Zero's Ice Armor is gonna be crazy, considering it's an "Ambush" assist, it can easily be set-up while doing anything with little to no consequence before your opponent knows it. Of course, there's a lot of other crazy broken stuff that're bound to happen in competitive play.
I am very happily overwhelmed. And I value individuals such as yourself for helping me digest all this wacky stuff. Initially I was very much one of the people who were a bit irked at the concept of kameos and thought they visually "goofed" up the game. But after watching this video I'm genuinely excited about all the accessibility and imagination this system brings. So thanks for helping me get to that point because i absolutely love mortal kombat and now i get to just keep on loving it. 🎉
Thank you so much for this guide brotha! I'm surprised the game itself doesn't offer any insight on the kameo characters but luckily we all have your content to help us out! 👌
I think these kameos are really beginner friendly compared to the more traditional tag team style of fighting games that I'm used to, it serves as a great gateway for new players. It simplifies the decision making process, relieves you of the burden of learning two extra characters, all the while keeping the gameplay mostly the same(as in, a driver and two assists, in this case a summon and an ambush) I think they're pretty neat, great decision by the netherrealm team. It won't make me buy the game but I really appreciate it from an outside perspective.
Thats good insight yeah, I don't like learning multiple chars but I don't like the overall flow mid game of this game (don't get me wrong I'll buy it regardless) but yeah the simplification might help people generally speaking
Glad to have some MK1 content to hold me over until I can get the game. Everyone and their brother is putting up the whole story, but I want to play it myself first. Although I am happy to have seen who gets a chapter, since a lot of them have never gotten one before.
Fantastic overview, thank you! Also, just an FYI in case it hasn’t been posted here earlier: Cyrax’s Kameo throw can be meter burned to launch for 2 bars (someone posted it on TYM).
Thank you so much man for making this content. Seriously. I played a half hour Thursday before having to leave for vacation with my girl. Been watching all your content since 10 minutes at a time lol to make up for not being able to play
I gotta give it to you Roof, you have outdone yourself with this and the choose your main vid. They are massive, for the entire roster, and came out 2 days apart, after the soft launch, and before the official fuckin release. They're amazing primers and going to help so many people and not only will they help you find characters you like, but they will also help learn what the characters you aren't interested in do at a basic level. Your hard work is very appreciated. Thank you 🐒
As an Ashrah player, I initially gravitated towards Frost cuz ngl freeze being a low combo starter is insane (cuz then I can mixup folks with overhead/low combo starters with either f4,2 or f4, Kameo But seeing Kung Lao's low being plus on block got me to consider him as an option as well
Agreed, Ashrah main as well. The frost assist is amazing for her since you convert forward 2 into full damage with low freeze but I do now want to try Kung Lao to see how good the pair is!
This video is actually really good and useful, a lot more in deph than I expected. Really made me think about changing some teams, will be fun to test.
I've been using a lot of Shao and Sareena and she definitely makes up for a lot of his weaknesses. Even just her fireball is useful enough given how slow and reactable his ground quake is, but he can also get a meterless launcher from his F1,2,2 string (which starts with a 10 frame mid I think) in the corner by cancelling into her flash kick. Haven't had the best of luck with waking up with Shao's armoured move either, so she's great! Can't wait to test out Motaro when I unlock him.
Something else very useful about darrius, for certain characters he might be the best throw assist in the game. Smoke for example can back throw into darrius' neutral assist and get a 1 meter or fatal blow combo for about 26%. Jax and Cyrax have to spend 2 bars for less or comparable damage on their front throws
You forgot to mention with shujinko that if youre fighting Shang tsung the down back move turns shujinko into shang tsungs kameo which i find extremely interesting
I remember playing as Geras and Darrius. I did the regular Time Stop move and called Darrius by accident and his Tornado Kick stunned the opponent after the final hit. I couldn't combo off it since I didn't know it would do that.
Thank you so much for this! I have been needing this specific video! You work never goes unnoticed, and all your contributions are appreciated by the WHOLE fgc. Your the best
I pick my cameo for style reasons. im using shang tsung and goro because its the set up to the final boss of the og mk and the combos are not bad. My real main was always quan chi so im happy he will return at some point down the road.
Cyrax kameo throw gives a free combo that doesnt cost any kameo meter and can be done when his meter is depleted, idk if its glitched but its kinda crazy you can even call him out for the combo following the launch. Really strong on strike/throw characters.
33:50 Holy crap, I didn't know you could do that lol. Darrius is my favourite Kameo to use, but I was struggling to get that overhead to connect (as you can only do the follow-up if it hits, or on block). I think you just saved me Roofle lmao
I think its a testament to this game that I can hear what your talking about with each kameo and immediately think up "Would cyrax-copter be able to do this on X & Y block string while still being an extension on hit?" or "So kung lao can let me run mixups that are plus on block when setup correctly?" It really speaks to how creative this game can be just under the hood.
Small correction on Li Mei. Her BF1EX can extend combos and juggle without needing a freeze. So 12xBF1EX, J134DB4 is a true combo doing not insignificant damage. You can even extend it with a Sonya and do 12xBF1EX, J134 C J134DB4 for about 40%.
Hey Rooflemonger, I don't know if someone has asked you before this but: What are your main characters and kameos as of now? The tutorials you bring are extremely informative and appreciated as always.
honestly I haven't even begun to learn the game for myself yet. This is my job and I take it seriously, you guys come before I do. That said Shao and Mileena probably are no brainers, and I am really digging tanya so far as she's (in my opinion only right now) roughly the best "neutral lord" character
@@janedock3126 I think reptile is one of the most well rounded characters. Maybe a bit lower damage but there's almost no aspect of the game he doesn't provide other than full screen zoning
@@Rooflemongeryea but at least he has a range attack. I've been learning smoke.. doesn't have a range attack but he makes up for it with overhead and low enders, which allows me to keep them guessing. His tele cancel works well for me. Haven't tested many partners for him but frost freeze worked for 50+ damage
Thanks for this breakdown video, I was scratching my head how best to approach this cameo business. But you've simplified the process. God bless man 👏🙏
It would be hilarious if they gave the Kano Kameo sausages as skins for his knives, referencing his famous "Would you settle for me sausauge" line from his interaction with Skarlet.
Thanks for another great video, always appreciate them. Maybe you already had this idea planned but a video on who you think is the best kameo for each character would be interesting.
Thank you for this video, if I get the game with you helping explain characters and now Kameos I now know to run reiko darrius for the ultimate challenge your attack into a brutal kombo team.
Loved this, thank you. When/if you ever get around to character guides, I recommend Reiko first! I'm going to play the game day 1 (the 19th) and i've had my eye on him for a while. thanks again for the helpful content!
my favorites so far are cyrax, Darrius, and sareena all of them feel really good too use. i want to try learning Sektor more but ive not figured out how to best utilize his missiles bc they seem easy to avoid and comboing with his uppercut feels weird flame burner is really fun wakeup like it was in mkx though
@@Nonlifting_breezy if i wanted to play scorpion that would definitely be cool but there's too many others i want to play in this, i think I'm going to try doing nitara combo trials again and see if I can start figuring out some stuff with him from those
For Rain I would say the best Kameos are: Scorpion Sareena Goro Cyrax Subzero/frost Frost/subzero I haven’t tested the others that much but these are the characters that you can feel an immediate synergy with
This is probably the first MK game on release where I'm really trying out a lot of characters. I'm doing them through both single player modes (reason I play NRS games) and training which is surprising for me. Kenshi, Raiden and Sub-Zero right now are characters I dig, big thing rn is just seeing which Kameos works with them.
Thanks so much for this, i didnt really feel like taking the time to see what each kameo does on my own😅 i was just using sareena lmao ima try stryker now or darrius with my raiden.

I can't wait for khameleon kameo. I was really hoping to have Jade/Khameleon. At least I have Reptile!
Lol yeah, I can already see people pairing up Scorpion with Scorpion, Sub Zero with Sub Zero or Kung Lao with Kung Lao just because it's funny.
Striker with smoke is insane because smoke already has a tonne of mixups, but then you add striker and he’s got even more it’s crazy.
you don’t really get any damage off of Stryker though, just mix right? or are there specific combo routes with the grenades?
@@adhirgthe overhead is really good for damage, its also super fast, the handcuffs you can get a free projectile off of
Stryker with li mei is so good
@@adhirgjohnny can still get his combos with hype meter using stryker
Stryker kitana is really good too, he supports some of her weaknesses
My head canon is that Stryker is just in his car while you fight, and when you call him in, he combat rolls out of the car and comes to your aid

Thanks for what you do.
Thank goodness. Labbing out all the Kameos is a real chore since they can interact in super weird ways. Thanks for doing the leg work.
The full screen low freeze from Frost looks pretty wild. Also really digging the Motaro teleport stuff. Nice showcase.
A wild HMS appears in the Roofle comments!
@@deminator1472 👀
Scorpion kameo tip. His forward action will bounce enemies up if they happen to be in the air even a little bit
The scaling is pretty tough in this game. Really makes the neutral game of the Kameos the bigger focal point.
Thats the thing, already I see most people just focusing on getting an extra 5-7% damage like its the be all end all. Its way more important to be able to get that hit to begin with.

@@Rooflemongeryeah but 2 clean touch into 50% also wins round, especially from some of the bar efficient character (1bar+cameo around 50%)
Kameos are trash imo. I really wish they had just made this a 1v1 because the characters are so well done this time! And c1 is op af again.
I really like how everybody plays though...Sareena needs to die.
@@ammi5311But you can't really bank on finishing it that quickly when they can just choose to break away, in which case you want to be able to get those first hits.
breakaways are super rare in this game because your offensive and defensive meter are the same now and you have one less bar @@Beanpolr
Some of the Kameos I'm most interested in trying out are Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Jax, and Motaro.

Think of kameos as a bit of a playstyle alteration for each character.
I love these high quality videos.
Helps give you a basic idea of what direction to go in based on your play style.
I've been using a lot of Shao and Sareena and she definitely makes up for a lot of his weaknesses. Even just her fireball is useful enough given how slow and reactable his ground quake is, but he can also get a meterless launcher from his F1,2,2 string (which starts with a 10 frame mid I think) in the corner by cancelling into her flash kick.

Thank God for this video. I've been patiently waiting for someone to explain to my slow brain wtf Shujinko's meditation ability does!
Roofle-sama! I really think you will go down in Fighting Game History as the one of the best if not the best Fighting Game Content channel.
Something else very useful about darrius, for certain characters he might be the best throw assist in the game. Smoke for example can back throw into darrius' neutral assist and get a 1 meter or fatal blow combo for about 26%.

“Hello and welcome” is always stuck in my head after I watch your video.
Coming from batman as a main character from the Injustice series, I can totally get use to the Kameo system!
Thank you for the video, the kameos seem a lot less overwhelming now.
Goro, Jax, Motaro are my favorite 💪.
I pick my cameo for style reasons. im using shang tsung and goro because its the set up to the final boss of the og mk and the combos are not bad. My real main was always quan chi so im happy he will return at some point down the road.
We asked and the lord delivered! Thank you again Roofle!
Man I really THANK YOU. ❤ Your content is direct to the point. And I do not know why&how your voice sounds so friendly.

Great video bro. Preciate the info 👍🏾
I just want to add that if you use a kameo with slow regen first, and then one with fast regen, you will regen fast
Thanks
Awesome guide! I've been liking Sareena the most so far but still gotta experiment with Shujinko and Motaro once I unlock them.
Thanks for all your fun videos. You have a fun voice and a nice cadence. Even with no fun accent, you are the accent
Damn was not expecting this much indepth with the cameos this is really cool
It would’ve been funny if it was just a TH-cam short and he was building you up and turns out it was a prank and he said “Just pick Sareena”
I think its a testament to this game that I can hear what your talking about with each kameo and immediately think up "Would cyrax-copter be able to do this on X & Y block string while still being an extension on hit?" or "So kung lao can let me run mixups that are plus on block when setup correctly?" It really speaks to how creative this game can be just under the hood.
Give this man his FGC flowers please.. what he has done in the short time this game has been out is honestly crazy..
Small correction on Li Mei.
Her BF1EX can extend combos and juggle without needing a freeze.
So 12xBF1EX, J134DB4 is a true combo doing not insignificant damage. You can even extend it with a Sonya and do 12xBF1EX, J134 C J134DB4 for about 40%.
One fun thing about Cyrax is that you can spend two bars on his throw and it'll pop the opponent up for a full combo.
Hey Rooflemonger, I don't know if someone has asked you before this but: What are your main characters and kameos as of now? The tutorials you bring are extremely informative and appreciated as always.
I'm taking a bet on Mileena. He mentioned he's a long time fan of her.

Thanks for the helpful advice. This was a really good video 😎👍
Awesome video and super helpful too! Just thought I'd mention that Cyrax has a combo starter from his throw if you burn meter on it.
When I look at Kameo Scorpion and Sub-Zero I can't help but think that they could be Hanzo Hasashi and Kuai Liang from the other timelines...
They are 🥲
Thanks for this breakdown video, I was scratching my head how best to approach this cameo business. But you've simplified the process. God bless man 👏🙏
It would be hilarious if they gave the Kano Kameo sausages as skins for his knives, referencing his famous "Would you settle for me sausauge" line from his interaction with Skarlet.
I absolutely love how Kano holds the mains head down when he uses his eye laser.
Very good thorough kameo guide. Thank you so much! Subbed.
Thanks for another great video, always appreciate them. Maybe you already had this idea planned but a video on who you think is the best kameo for each character would be interesting.
Roofle you forgot that Cyrax can blow him self up during his throw if you hit the meter burn button
I never realized how every cameo is actually so good.
You forgot about Cyrax's Enhanced throw!! For 2 bars of meter you get a big kombo bounce
Excellent content as always, I learned a lot from this video 😊
I love your detailed content!
I love how General Shao best kameos are part of his army I love that detail

I don't get it.
@@nocandoslurms433 you are free from the reaches of akron ohio then

Already got out another huge guide, you're scary
when you are willing to go without sleep you can do powerful things
Unlikely that Kung Lao gets nerfed any time soon, he's in a DLC that needs selling. Awesome video btw.
You missed that cyrax let's you amplify your throw into a combo starter
I get the feeling you absolutely crush people online in fighting games

Incredible channel, my man. Keep it up. THICCLY SUBBED
Right on time. This the one!
my favorites so far are cyrax, Darrius, and sareena all of them feel really good too use. i want to try learning Sektor more but ive not figured out how to best utilize his missiles bc they seem easy to avoid and comboing with his uppercut feels weird flame burner is really fun wakeup like it was in mkx though
I’ve seen him pair with scorpion for bit damage
@@Nonlifting_breezy if i wanted to play scorpion that would definitely be cool but there's too many others i want to play in this, i think I'm going to try doing nitara combo trials again and see if I can start figuring out some stuff with him from those
@@mikaelamonsterland I feel it. I haven’t went online yet. Just doing all single player things. Character I played the most reptile so far. Low damage
Raiden is pretty good with sektor. his df2 makes it easy to set up or hit missiles mid combo. Or the homing missile can cover your teleport in.
For Rain I would say the best Kameos are:
Scorpion
Sareena
Goro
Cyrax
Subzero/frost
Frost/subzero
I haven’t tested the others that much but these are the characters that you can feel an immediate synergy with
great video man
Been seeing a lot of sareena so far
holy smokes this video is amazing thanks i was struggling with my li mei gameplay i'm gonna try goro and subzero now instead of frost
I need this game now because you brought the idea Rain + Kano to my mind
And Rain + Sub Zero
This is probably the first MK game on release where I'm really trying out a lot of characters. I'm doing them through both single player modes (reason I play NRS games) and training which is surprising for me.
