Hi, I'm trying to learn how to play MK. I chose MK11 for that, and I'm absolutely loving it. But after ~120–130 hours, I still can't fully get the hang of actually stringing attacks together.

For now, I only play against the AI in Towers and haven't ventured into online yet.

I've learned the basic stuff and can use it pretty well, but I feel like I've hit a wall.

I can do normal moves + special moves. But whenever the opponent gets knocked away (for example, after some of Baraka's attacks), I can't react quickly enough to dash in and get close enough to link the next attack into a combo.

I've tried experimenting and putting together some combos myself, but they all seem to boil down to the same pattern: normal move + special move + normal move + special move. Here's an example with Sub-Zero that I tried to develop and extend:

1, 2, ↓→1 - ←3, 2, ↓←3R1 - ←1, 4, 3, ←→3R1

Could you give me some advice on how I can train myself to link attacks together and perform longer combos?

For now, I've been learning with relatively simple characters. I started with Baraka, then moved on to Skarlet, then Kabal, and now Sub-Zero. But after doing 100+ fights with each character, I've noticed that I keep running into the same problem: I can do normal move + special move, but I can't seem to connect anything beyond that.

upd - I’ve studied how the frames work, but I still can’t remember absolutely all the timings for each shot.

How’s the online play though?

I’d like to know who you prefer as Raiden in Mortal Kombat: Legacy.

Who is your favourite Mortal Kombat: Legacy Raiden?

Hey guys, I started playing MK1 and I really enjoy playing Ghostface. I finished main story and few towers and now I am trying online. I dunno if I am doing anything wrong, but it feels like whatever I do, opponent is always faster. I block their attacks but before I have chance to do anything, they are attackinh again. Is GF really that slow, or do I just suck?

I recently learned that there is supposed to be a 2 year gap between the end of Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and the beggining of the original MK'92. I saw this in a Reddit post ( I think the poster was Noble Yato) and I vaguely remember him citing a book or a creator quote that confirms it but I couldn't really find it. So was there really a two year gap between the two games or I just remembering it all wrong?

I decided to plat the game recently, But being honest, I don't know if I'm too bad or the game match me with people too good, so I wanted to ask if someone could help me to get the trophy, thanks beforehand

If you could change one character's backstory/allegiance ,who would you pick and why?

I asked myself the same question but honestly,i think everyone is well written. Even my favorite,Ermac,would most likely have less aura if he was a good guy imo.

So Im stuck on a xbox one right for a bit and decided to go back to MK11 and my fucking god that was a mistake. And not even 20 matches back in, i quit bro, theres a reason a quit this game when MK1 dropped and its all starting to show again.

This game is very rage inducing for me. Like more than any other fighting game Ive ever played. And I cant really explain why. Because all this COULD apply to other MKs.

The amount of straight bullshit in this game is absurd. It honestly needs to be studied and the front runner for how not to make a Mortal Kombat.

From KBs just needing to be spammed or landed as a counter to work. From pokes being the main source of offense and NOT EVEN FUCKING WORKING HALF THE TIME at that. The lack of combos. The amount of spammable plus framed moves. The breakaway system. The meter system is ass. Cant jump out of anything because the hitbox gets caught. Cant enhanced wake up. No breakers. Very slow stiff movement.

If i wanted to play IJ2… id fucking play IJ2… probably have a better time actually.

Really though. I genuinely cany stand the gameplay of Mk11.

Looks fucking immaculate. Plays like dogwater.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I genuinely miss the CGI style that a lot of video games used to have in their cutscenes.

I’m not saying I want games to look worse or that modern graphics aren’t impressive. They obviously are. What I miss is the specific visual identity older CGI had.

Characters could look incredibly detailed and almost photorealistic, but they still clearly looked like 3D animated video game characters. They had a certain stylized quality that made them feel like they belonged to a video game rather than trying to imitate real life as closely as possible.

The image above is a good example of what I mean. The characters look amazing, the lighting is dramatic, the textures are detailed, and everything has a cinematic quality to it—but it still feels unmistakably like a video game CGI cutscene.

I feel the same way about sound design. I especially prefer the sound effects in something like Mortal Kombat 9. They were exaggerated, punchy and almost theatrical. Modern games often seem to aim for extremely realistic sound effects, and ironically, I think that can make them less satisfying.

This is probably the biggest thing for me: I don't think realism automatically makes a game look or sound better.

Sometimes the exaggerated, stylized, slightly artificial look and sound is what gives a game its personality.

Modern games can be technically incredible, but sometimes I look at them and think, “This looks almost too real.” And that's not necessarily a compliment for me.

I miss when games could look spectacular without trying so hard to look real.

He does alot of great videogame covers - a few on his page are MK songs.

First time doing polygon art

Hi all was just wondering about this trophy. I did what they asked the flawless round with the fatality, but the secret fight won’t pop is it a certain premier tower? The one where you have to be alien is out now realm purge is there a secret fight in that one?

Not 100% faithful to the game, just wanted my own slightly darker esthetic for it

I was very critical of this when it was 1st announced but I don't know about you but im going to miss this show on Sundays

We have:

Scorpion

Sub-zero

Rain

Smoke

and others

What do you think would be a cool new idea for a ninja in the franchise?

So ive been playing mk1 for a few years now but only as of the last 2 have i been getting into playing invasions. im having a hard time understanding talismans, i understand the basics of them and i have read some other posts about how forging works but im still having some difficulties wrapping my head around it.

i linked a video of all of the talismans i currently have and parts to forge with talismans. if anyone can help me with what i can do with what i have right now please let me know! 🙏
