Excited to be here
hey all, I’m a big fighting game enthusiast, but somehow just now got mortal Kombat. i got mortal kombat 1 on xbox x plus the dlc.
the combos are pretty complex and have the depth to practice. just starting out it seems like there’s a big skill ceiling, but it’s been a little hard to learn.
a friend suggested i start with johnny cage, as apparently he is decent and beginner friendly. any other characters i should try?
I am surprisingly stumped on how to play neutral. it seems relatively similar to street fighter, but it sometimes feels far less forgiving. what is the theory for neutral game? (depends greatly on the character, i understand, but i find it harder to decide when to approach, shield pressure, and retreat.)
timing in combos is occasionally confusing. some moves require that you wait a second, some require directly successive inputs, and some are in between. it also seems like you can buffer some inputs but not others. i might just need muscle memory to do it consistently, but is there a way to know which moves act in what way?
very excited to be here. the game seems great and right up my alley.
thank you, mostly for bearing with me and my probably stupid questions
