What do you guys think about Geras currently? I didnt like him at first but now I think he is going to be one of my mains. Sure he is hard and underrated but the potential is there!
Geras' unique mechanics are scaring many players off I guess. It takes great skill and knowledge to play him well.
Very true!
but the best combo is the bbc
Or enough interest in learning his viral combo.
Characters like Quan Chi and Geras take strategy and good spacing. Quan is actually top 10 in the game, but he is difficult to master. Characters like Johnny are just brain dead. Johnny's whole strategy is just approach the opponent and press buttons because his buttons are safe and he has great recovery. I actually like the setup characters like Geras and Quan. You feel like a genius when all of the setups start working
Geras and Quan are my mains. I just need the setups to have fun... probably :)
Can yall tell me how to do combos easier what do i use keypads or thumbsitck
@SUKUNA294 it's really just whatever is more comfortable to you, some people prefer the d-pad, others prefer the stick, although it's easier to see what you are doing with the d-pad
Spot on. On top of the fact their health goes so fast, if u get caught with a good combo string to begin with ur at a huge disadvantage so it hard to mix with them. I do like playing with them though cuz once u get a little hang of how to use em their damage is insane.
Geras just needs an all-around buff. I love him in MK1 but as we saw in your video he has to play defensively the entire game.
I agree, i also think he needs a health buff. Characters like Li Mei, Mileena, Ashrah etc can do the same or more damage than Geras and their health is not touched....
SPEAK BRUDA
Make F2 a mid!
Hey that's my guide!
You made Geras seem so fun I had to try it! You made me want to become a better player, thanks!
I main 5-ish characters on every mk game and i can play the rest of the cast normally to bad-ish. And i can confirm that with almost 1000 h in the game that Geras is one of the hardest characters in mk1
The most difficult characters are always the most rewarding. It certainly shows in the damage output. Much respect to you for giving him a try.
My little brother has been watching you for awhile. But these progression videos got me hooked bro, great content. Can’t wait to see you eventually go through other characters. Even if you don’t do the whole cast
I appreciate it, this is my new direction for the channel since my work schedule has changed drastically. Glad you enjoy it! ❤
Thanks so very much for your effort and contribution to the community bro, I sincerely appreciate every video you upload.
i appreciate it, thanks for the love!
I haven't seen a video from you in a while & I see your subscribers went up a lot as well. Congratulations to you on all off your success 👍🏿💪🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
i appreciate the support!
I main Geras and the highest I've gotten is God rank with semi-consistent play. What I've found is that spacing and timing is key, spacing even more so than timing in a lot of cases because you can bait or even trick your appointment by using the tools you have. Geras isn't a jump in and go sort of character he's very much a more passive character in which you wait for your opponent to get impatient or mess up and then you punish them. This is how I play him in MK1.
So he's basically a wiff punisher?
Geras is one of my mains u gota be patient and understand his moves and when to use it u can use motaro kung lao tech teleport cancels hourglass charge for armor break and health regain command grab for pokes instead of foward square to be unpredictable enhanced clone which does waste 2 bars can u can use mid combo or for unblockable set up and wait for openings to punish or poke command grab instead of trying to strike since his moves are on the slower side be patient and consistent Geras is amazing in the right hands
Geras can be very good but you have to be consistent landing Lao/Motaro time stop combos and know how to use other abilities to like the 2 bar combo break and how to setup the clone for hard to block situations.
Oh my god you couldnt have timed it better, mk1 is my first time properly getting into the game and trying to learn. I love geras hes such a cool guy, but its reassuring to knoe im not the only one struggling to play with him, was thinking it was just me.
Picked him up hella quick stuck with him one of my best characters
I reached my full capacity with Geraz spend 6 months with him, I know all the moves but making sure you have 3 hourglass all the time becomes very hard, especially when anyone who sees you play geraz their main goal is to go after you, and make sure you don’t .
But is nice love this character, learning hermac now,
Domorolize has one of the best geras guides much love ima geras main since mk11 too
Ayyy thats wats up!
I main him and love it I'm not the best with him but I in joy it
Please make a video about kung lao.
I have always been a kung lao main in mostly Mk9 and Mk 11 (skiped MkX)
And never have i ever flop this hard trying to play kung lao in mk1
Most of my fav kung lao moves mk1 kung lao does not have
The kameo i mostly use is seerna or the red robot person or yellow.
And learning kung lao from yt is a pain.
But since you are a chararter loyilst and explain every that you do.
It would really help me if you make a kung lao video.
Dang it MadDogg, I just got done learning Shao. Now, I have to pivot to Geras…😂👍🏾💯
ahaha i hated Geras at first but now he will be one of my mains! I say do it!
I’m currently learning gears and feel like you really gotta rely on the kameos to get offense started. Unlike other characters where the kameos just attribute to the characters existing offense. I think you should try havik next though cuz alongside gears I believe he has some of most interesting moves and mechanics in the game.
yeah that is true, that is why i love Motaro because he can get that turn back and its a low hitting projectile, so it will force opponents to duck. Which then limits their movement. Im currently playing Sindel and i sticked with him for that reason.
I think next character you try out should be Shang Tsung. I'm curious how his stance switch can enhance combos. Kenshi also has a stance switching mechanic.
A lot of people are saying to try him. But i honestly think he is so boring...I would rather try out Kenshi honestly.
Yeah that tick throw has bailed me out so many times, but it is better to do F1 then command grab because the only way to beat that is to armor through. Also I think motaro is a better kameo for him because he helps him out against zoning (reflect and teleport) and also makes his strings +13 on block (tail shot).
Geras is so cool, and definitely underrated!
I really like him now in this game, he needs some help.
what is the title of the music used at 11:24 please ?
It’s just that the input/output ratio for most of the roster is vastly different. It’s much easier to play other characters and get a lot more mileage out of them for the work you have to put in…
Johnny has every single tool in the game you could ask for besides a projectile… Best movement in the game, stagger pressure, plus frames out the ass, launching overhead/low mix, full screen armoured punish with shadow kick, an install with star power, command dash that is projectile invulnerable, high combo damage with nut punch enders for Oki, best jump ins in the game, advancing mids with good recovery, etc…
When you play a character like Geras, you understand how privileged some of the other characters on the roster are for absolutely no reason…
The effort required doesn’t match the payoff. You’d expect that a character that is harder to pilot would yield more in terms of advantages BECAUSE they require more effort to use effectively…
But it feel like the exact opposite for MK1…
Ermac has some of the most complicated combos with all of his cancels, but his combo scaling is assbutter.
Nitara has 900 HP with crazy movement, but her low/overhead mix is mad punishable on block.
Geras has a completely unique playstyle revolving around charging his hourglass and getting timestop cancels with Motaro teleport, but has some of the worst normals in the game…
Why would I play these interesting unique characters when I could just spam strings with Peacemaker or Johnny and stay safe?
tip for Mataro
Mataro can start the fatal blow he can do Mataro fatal blow punch. Geras fatal blow is slow but is Mataro fater
tips for Geras
Geras breaker u have to let opponent hit you u have to be hit because it frezze them. if u do it when ur falling down and opponent is not hitting you he wont frezze. and you dont want to be to high as well doing it because opponent like Mileena high kick she she has her leg out but her body is too far to be hit by the frezze. the breakers not a normal breaker u have to hit the opponent with the breaker frezze move treat it like a sand burst as if you where try to hit your opponent with it
LETS GOOO FINALLY SOMEONE SHOWING LIGHT ON MY MAIN
defiantly one of my favorite characters based on his design. He needs more justice.
in my opinion smoke is the hardest to learn, especially on lan tourneys. as a smoke main he has sm gaps and you have to be on pin point accuracy with the cancels otherwise you’re predictable abt extremely punishable
I would like this to be a regular series from you.
Planning on it! I have many ideas for this!
Demoralizer is who i would recommend to learm Geras from. He might be the best Geras main there is.
That is who I watched. Pretty hard to learn because it’s high level but I’m getting closer to getting better with execution
❤
@@MadDoggGames love to see it. I tried to learn Geras after watching demoralizer but I just cant do the "kidnap cancels " consistent enough especially online
@@bryanbridges6152 yeah there somethings I currently cant do right now, but the more I play, the more im slowly getting the hand of the execution.
Can you make more of these videos? They'r fun
yes sir, currently working on one.
Geras, Mavado is a broken combo, really helps with his lows...
I feel reikos pretty hard to on a basic level easiest in the game but as far as his optimals u have to have the timing perfect especially with tremor
He’s back!!!!
yes sirrr
the devs knew what they were doing with geras. gave him good damage but made it damn near impossible to open people up with so you have to play lame to play him efficiently
Can’t wait for the homelander combos
Homelander combos? Im sorry but I dont have time to make guides anymore..
Have you done reiko?
Bro became a menace to the new era within 2 days 😂👌🏼
It is tradition 😈
Pls do a series like this where u learn characters in 7 days.
If u do can u try learn ashrah next please 🙏🙏🙏
thanks for the recommendation! Currently working on my next character!
Hey MadDogg i didnt realized that you're back lol.
kind of, only to upload for fun. and when I have time.
@@MadDoggGames oh nice!
Please do a ermac for a week
Try use Raiden, he's strong!
Only played Geras for 1 season and I made God rank! But now I play mommy queen Mileena 😊
I really wish I had ps5 to play this games too 😞
Geras is just a fun character
From Being a geras with matoro no matter what kameo you still gonna have stiff buttons and barely good frames then are health makes it even worse
Oh & I just started using Geras a few weeks & I'm gonna main him but I still suck with him 😂😂😂🤦🏿🤷🏿
That’s how you know you a real one ☝️ I’m the same way, I know I will stick with him even though I can’t do his most optimal combos.
It's either him or kenshi by far. They are hella difficult to use. I main geras
Bro... Motaro low tail shot is fully punishable. 😭😭
@@Tac0b3llyfat I wouldn’t say it’s fully punishable. It can be poked out off but that’s the mind game. You can simply not do it and instead do a combo string. Most of the time the opponent will wait because the punish isn’t that great to go for. They can also armor through it as well but that’s more resources spent. Motaro gains his charge fast so it will be no point. Unless you can get a combo off the armor but if I block it then way too much risk. Same with the teleport. Sure I can do risky options just so I can teleport, but sometimes the opponent sees I did something negative and immediately does a string. This allows me to punish their whiff. But if they stayed blocked and I teleport, then I get punished. It’s all about reading the opponent and go based on the behavior. But for the most part Motaro allows you to be aggressive because he has ways to escape/pressure.
Any chance you can do Shang Tsung?
Im not a fan of Shang Tsung in general but I think I’ll cover him in my next couple of videos
@@MadDoggGames gotcha, looking forward to it if you do
Oh he definitely is the hardest characters
Di this with Li Mei.^^
Can u do omni man
Hey bro i kinda like your videos but where's THE COMPLETED VIDEO WHERE HE BBC COMBO SINDEL ? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
Day one getting upset that he can't stop the pressure but he wasn't using down 2, down 1, anything
@@jcarvalho_7 I mean that’s what they call Day 1. I have no idea what I’m doing 🤷🏻♂️
johnny players really have the worst time whenever they try to pick up someone other than him lmaoooo
Please do ermac
Kung lao next please
YO WTF IM IN THE VID 🤣 26:59
lmao small world
Do Smoke next 🙂
Mmmmm
Please make a ermac video combo video
im sorry but i dont have the patience and time for it anymore. I have to move on at least for now.
@@MadDoggGames 🥲
@@magendratrigantara4919 it happens when you turn 27. I have other priorities and I’m not in school anymore I’m sorry.
Look at Rips Arena and watch Sosed😅 0:18
Bro got all the combos for you
I think you're a bit too harsh on this character just because he isn't easy to use like Johnny. Geras takes practice and skill, which is why he feels low tier in your hands because he isn't simple and effective.
Put him in the right hands and he shoots up. Could he use some buffs? Sure, but you make him sound like a bad character when in reality, you just fail to understand what's required to play him.
Do omni man
He needs a buff
He really does.
Dude says he likes a challenge but has only played with Johnny cage. 😂
Keyword. “Loyalist”I played him since MK9. Regardless of his tier placement. Mk11 Johnny? He was ass there but I committed no matter what. He was buggy there and was nerfed too. MKX A-list was tricky but those run cancels was chef kiss 🫡
Geras main here, definetly hard for beginners, but once you get the hang of him hes broken!
I wouldn’t say he’s broken otherwise you see him everywhere. Kenshi on the other hand is hard but broken. I want Geras buffs. He needs justice
Nrs bring back Gerras Gauntlets
That was my favorite thing honestly, made him to more brawlier and scarier.
Imagine you spent 7 days learning Sub zero
@@nitrofox2298 what do you think about sub zero? I haven’t tried him out yet
@@MadDoggGames I personally like playing Sub-Zero, and he’s actually on of my mains. But my only problem is that his moves you have to be really quick or you’ll mess up the combo.
@@MadDoggGames also my bad for not responding right away 😕
as a mileena main i dont think i could stomach the playstyle tbh
I didnt think so at first. But then it grew on me and honestly I like it. Far more interesting than Sindel's playstyle who i find not as fun.
Well, he's the HARDEST alright.
Kenshi still harder
i still think kenshi is the hardest chr to master...
ill try him out, i think he is technical but he more used and sento carries for easy win compared to Geras.
Ermac hardest character in game
How lmao everyone on day 1 we’re doing so many combos with him
ermac is the biggest Bs character. just annoying asf to face
Ferra buff him
Learn nitara
I will in the future, I do want to try her out
I think he’s a terrible character to play. His combos don’t connect, too buggy
