Goes into is so helpful for new people thanks. I needed that.
@@lord7thrise you got it! Thanks for watching!
Havik, Quan chi, or omni man
The way you explain how to do this is super easy to understand. I wish more people could make things make sense like that
It appreciate it! I do what I can 🔥
It's such a shame that you can't "pin" strings like you could in 11. Actually really liked that feature.
Agreed 😭
They have it now.
@@michaelcarroll991 cap
yeah, i hope they add it soon
I have had the option for a while, I’m on Xbox if it helps cause I’m not sure why you guys don’t have it
Trying to learn Johnny Cage and was getting frustrated, watched this video and it has helped my game a ton! I'm slowly teaching my fingers to auto input the combos and it's thanks to your vid! Great job man, this was exactly the advice I needed to hear.
You got it 😎 thanks so much for watching, glad it helped!🔥
This video is super helpful for someone like myself who is completely new to fighting games. This gives a nice easy starting point for learning the game. Also love when you explained the timing of combos how it's basically just 1 big string, and you don't have to wait for your first string to finish landing before entering the next move. This is one of the things I struggled most with at the start
Absolutely! I’m glad the video helped, and thanks for watching 😎
me too bro i just bought the game for fun cause i used to play it in like middle school, and i don’t know how to get combos
That's exactly what I'm searching for, thanks to you and I'm gonna grind more and more and try some combos without giving UP !
Keep it up my dude 🔥
I am just now learning about dialing the inputs. Not enough people are talking about this. Thank you 👏 I’ve been struggling at basic cancels
Ya I got you!
Dude, how the hell am I gonna get used to this? The system is so counterintuitive that I'm cooked, and my brain can't figure this out, I come from tekken 😂
Love this guide. I learned Reiko this way. Soon as I saw back 3 as a footsie tool and forward 124 as a launch I knew there was a way to make it a full combo
Yes exactly! Thanks for watching 🔥
Yea practice and goofing around with the strings is a great way to see what can be used in a combo together especially with meter alway full and goof around on what supers do with meter for extenders
Thanks, Onestep! This helped A LOT. Coming in from Tekken, I was so used to the combo format (launcher > filler > ender) from there that I was virtually lost as to how combos worked in MK. I thought there had to be a format too or at least a rule on how to execute combos. After watching this video, I learned that it’s really the strings and special moves that are the “bread and butter” of MK combos.
Yes exactly! You’re coming from a very different series so it’s cool to see you make the comparisons and see the changes. Keep it up and you’ll get everything down no problem 🔥
Been mainly doing Invasions and Tower and I wanted to get into Multiplayer so I’m trying to learn to combo instead of just doing basic attacks with the occasional power attack, this is really well explained!!
I’m glad it helped! Thanks for watching 🔥
I've been playing fighting games since before the very first Mortal Kombat came out back in 1992, so I knew all of this already, but I thought I'd watch it anyway, to see if maybe there was something I didn't know. Very good for beginners, this video.
Man, this takes me back to MK3, when the series got combo strings for the first time. A handful of MK players I knew back then didn't like them - but man, I took to them like a fish to water. I remember me and my friend would spend hours with the DOS version of MK3, in two-player mode, practicing strings combos and mixing them with special moves - on the inanimate second player (there was no such thing as practice mode back then).
Oh man that brings back good memories 🔥 I appreciate the support, thanks for watching!
I’ve been finding out I like the rush down archetype personally and now I’m trying to find which character I find has the coolest combos within that archetype and that’s where your video comes in my friend, in other words thanks for this.
You got it! Thanks for watching 🔥
Found your Chanel today, just Wanted to say that I have Been loving the videos super helpful and interesting.
Awesome work my man congratulations Big thanks and earned yourself a new subscriber 💪🏻🙌
I really appreciate the support my dude! Glad the content helps 🔥
Onestep your a great teacher and talented in this game so please keep up the good work!!!! Love your videos
I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching🔥
This vid help a lot , I didn’t understand how to do combos but I know I actually understand thanks for the help my dude
You got it! Thanks for watching 😎
brand new subscriber here you refreshed my mind on combos im a returning fighting game player so this helped alot thanks you have a good sense of humor too
Hey thanks so much for the support! I’m glad the video helped 🙌
I love the way u explained this to me it literally helped me in every way possible 😂 here I am thinking “ah yea new mortal Kombat imma be a top dog at this” I jumped into a match and got dog walked on 😭 but spent some hours in practice and I see how I can really stack the damage up thanks man
Glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching! 🔥
I only started playing last week (just got my PS5), and your videos really helped me understand the basics! I had never played MK before (grew up on Tekken 3 and Soulcalibur 2 which did not really did not have as much emphasis on combo strings or timing). I bought MK1 because I was dying to play Nitara. I just got my first Flawless Victory tonight. Thanks!
Ya love to see it! Great job! And keep up the good work. Thanks for watching as well!
@@onestep It was against the computer, so not against anyone online or anything. I’m trying to get better before I embarrass myself in front of veteran gamers 😂
One of the best combo guides I’ve seen for a NRS game
Appreciate it 🔥
All of this is great advice!
Really appreciate it 😎
Been tryna get out of my button mashing ways since MKX and I learn the moves list and try to string stuff together but it never worked and I would start mashing again. This video is helping me progress thank you.
Of course! Thanks for watching, I’m glad it helped🔥
Thank you for this video it really helps me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped 😎
Thanks for This!
Great video! I'm a casual player looking to take the next step in getting better and this helped very much!
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped
@@onestep absolutely! You got a new subscriber in me! Keep up the good work! 💪🏻
Nice job @Onestep, this is an exemplary beginner vidio. Also sometimes you may have a preference for a character but end up working better with another one. I have no idea why but Tanya is that character for me. There were a number of other characters I wanted to connect with and maybe later I will but right now Tanya is working very well for me. This is also how I handle a new character. Learn which strings cancel into which special moves. Even after so many Mortal Kombat games I am still struggling with the dashing in part some combos require.
Just keep practicing and it’ll come! Thanks for watching as well 🔥
This helped we so much thank you.
If you stream tonight I will be tuning in
Thanks for the support!
My main has always been Ermac so I am super pumped they are adding him. But to keep my occupied I’ve been having a lot of fun with Shang Tsung I love the old/young mechanic
It’s kinda cool right!
Thank you. This video is extremely helpful :-)
You got it! Thanks for watching 🔥
It's so funny that you mentioned Baraka. I think that every time I pick him up again.
His specials often involve multiple hits, extending your combo and making you feel like you're a beast for very minimal effort...
Plus, he's always been one of my favourites since the old 3D days.
He’s def a great option 🔥
Very helpful tutorial. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching 🔥
Bro I just want to say thank you I’m starting to really get into Mortal Kombat and I’m getting Mortal Kimbat 1 for my birthday on May 28th I’m not even 4 minutes in and I’m smiling because I know I’m going to learn a lot
Comments like this make my entire day. Thanks for the support my dude 🔥
Lol thanks I’m a subzero main never thought about stringing together Lmao. This is my first fighting game but you made it really simply.
I got you 🔥 thanks for watching!
Man i get it now. Time to smash the fam in MK 1 with reiko. Always struggled with creating a perfect kombo but now i know.
Glad this video helped 😎
Amazing video thank you
Thank YOU 🔥🙏
Very helpful, always loved MK but I've always just been a button masher lmao. I might actually spend time in the training after watching this 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching! 🙏
same i gotta actually train tho cause im getting walked like a dog😢
This was great thanks
Thanks for watching 🔥
"You're not going to be a pro in one single day" i appreciated this so much. For the most part all around yt thwre's just a bunch or pros doing crazy combo strings. I grew up with fighters but didn't know what it meant to take them seriously. Seeing all these people going crazy can be disheartening. You just reminded me that where i am now is all i need to be. Just keep pushing forward.
You are def right where you need to be. Taking it Onestep at time, getting better over time 🔥
I just subbed and thats ok!
Really good for me as i love mortal kombat 1 but want at least to do a little flashy stuff lol. Tyvm. No to check out your other vids
I really appreciate the support 🔥 glad they helped, and thanks for watching!
This video is way too high quality, A+ dude
Dang dude I really appreciate it 😭🙏
Thank you Step! Some parts like Smoke air juggle requires a bit delay.
Nice addition!
I tried at least 3-5 different characters, and surprisingly, Smoke became my main instead of Liu Kang or Reptile. I tried practicing Smoke with Scorpion kameo because I saw a combo tutorial for Smoke. Playing Smole instantly clicked for me. I just have to master the vapor cancel in my combos. I like your videos One-step because you give great detail on how to perform each character.
I appreciate it! I’m glad they were helpful 🔥
@onestep You're very welcome. Now I'm labbing with Smoke and I came up with an insane combo with his B2 with his vapor cancel.
Even after all of the character vids we still going, lets goo
Oh 100%🔥
This is my first fighting game, and I just wanna say thanks for all your beginner videos for us noobs😅
I got you fam! Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks brother
Thanks for watching 🙏
@@onestep my pleasure bro
i just got the game today and the timing of the cameos to make a good combo is hard af
It’s a bit hard at first, but keep up the practice, you’ll get there 🔥
Great video my friend. Love it
Thanks so much for watching🔥
@@onestep no prob at all. I just bought the premium edition a few weeks ago, an want to learn the game
Coming from Street fighter six into this game is like night and day apples and oranges. That block button.. I keep hitting it for some reason and then no move will come out lol. I just want back to block But different game different mindset. Great tips video. Hopefully I'll remember it next time I jump on.
It’s def a night and day different, it takes some getting use to but you got it 🔥
Great video
Thanks so much! 🔥
thanks mate!😊
Of course! Thanks for watching 🔥
my first fighting game ever and you are helping me out big time dude, thanks a lot! could you do a video on the whole what is unsafe and what is not, and how to play around that stuff? that would be HUGE for all beginners!
Ya great video idea!
Great idea. A video that explains hit confirms and what to do when an opponent blocks a combo attempt to avoid being punished ,etc would be great for casual players. One step is going to help a lot of people become better.
Yo OneStep thanks for the video. I liked it before I even finished watching
Thanks for watching! Hope it helped! 🔥
@onestep It definitely did.
@onestep I'm new to MK1 (and this is first one I'm playing with Combos, with prior experience with last few MKs like 11 or X, etc.). To build the muscle memory which one works best, xbox controller or keyboard? PS controller is not an option for me unfortunately. I feel a bit uncomfortable with d-pad, especially when it comes to do quick D+F+3 or something like that. Is hope it is just skill problem :D
I prefer Xbox controller. But I play on a hit box and that’s kinda like a keyboard 😅
No 🧢 u like the yoda of this MK shit 😂 u got a sub bro since I been watching your videos I really got waaaay better
Hey man I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching! 🙌
@@onestep 💯
Been enjoying ur vids man I am new to fighting games lol I love sub but man it’s rough out here. So far I can do a 18 hit combo but only worth like 294 lol I see other characters like close to mid 400 lol
Thanks for watching! And ya it just takes time and practice and you’ll start to figure out even longer combos. Just keep at it 🔥
Money was a little tight for a bit got mk1 later than most but got it and really felt the you might want to use somebody but dont mesh with them. I wish i could be an omni-man main but as of rn my timing with his stance grab is straight garbage.
The timing on that def taking time. Keep up the practice and you’ll get there 🔥
Nice help mate! one question tho, what about hitting the opponent? most of time when i try to do a combo and the opponent block im literally dead because of the punish. Is there a way to learn the timing of hitting? it is a muscle memory thing? thank you!
I would love to have a video on safe/unsafe attacks and how to play around punishes and all that stuff as well!
Great idea! I can do that 🔥
Been playing time guy and got a combo that does about 40% not bad for me the good thing about it is that as soon as its done I can do it again
Nice job!
Great video. All I hear is 22442244223334444. I can’t wait til all that makes sense. Watching these videos inspires me to play
Ya it takes a bit of time to learn the input language but you got this!
Do you have any resources for dashing to share? That's where I'm struggling so much. Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough time to dash even though the window looks huge. Other times, I hit FF and move like half an inch and miss my extensions.
Mmmm it’d be hard to explain over a comment tbh. I might have to do a video on it!
I'm relearning MK on a Razar Kitsune game pad. do you have any tips? have you personally played with a gamepad? what do you think some ways of improving would be Onestep? i've watched alot of ur videos and i love ur style please comment in response id love to her what the master has to say :D
I appreciate the support! Yea I actually play on a hitbox (I think they’re very similar) going from controller to a hitbox/fightpad honestly just takes time. Mess with the input configuration, like what where do you want “X” to be and so on, like what feels the most comfortable. Then just keep at it. It’s a muscle memory thing that just takes practice and patience 💪
thanks so much for the speedy response! really shows u care about ur fan base
@@DrSIappy you got it! Good luck!
Ur the goat
Thanks my dude 🔥 I appreciate it
What we really need is a tutorial on how to understand the minds of MK creators when they conceived of these button inputs for the combo system..
What’d you mean? The 1,2,3,4? That was the FGC as a whole. Not us content creators. The FGC uses these so any player on any console knows what input is being said. It takes a min to memorize and learn but it’s easy with enough patience
@@onestep NOT content creators NOR the FGC. The CREATORS of Mortal Kombat. The people who decided its okay to do one part of a combo super fast, the other part at half the beat with zero mashing - MK combos are super awkward next to Tekken or SF. You completely misread what I said.
I have just got the game about 2 days ago and have been struggling this is my first fighting game
Nice! Its a great place to start, just stay persistent and keep up the practice 🔥
Hi I just bought the game and decided to go with scorpion. I noticed that if Im on the right side of the screen the moves are a lot harder to make. Is this a bug? Im using keyboard.
Nah it just takes time learning how to do combos on both sides tbh. Keep up the practice!
is there something in my settings I need to change I'm trying to learn Johnny and I'm watching your other video for combo references and for the life of me after the 212 he just stops the jump input doesn't go thru nor does any of my supers I'm lost
The jump can be hard on the timing. In fact all the timing can be a bit hard. I do 212 and then hold jump. Try that without trying a combo after and feel when the jump comes out. Then once you get the jump down then start to try that leading into another combo
Thats a f* good video instruction! One day if possible, record your hands on the controller. It might help a lot of new players.
Thanks dude!
Good idea for the future. I appreciate it!
@@onestep Cool!
In the start if the vid you made the universal language for the combo thing
But Can you tell me what it is for Nintendo switch?
1-Y 2-X 3-B 4-A
@@onestep tysm
love the beard
Thanks 😎
subed when he said that is y my name is one step
Ya love to see it 😎 I appreciate the support!
Probably just me, but I was trying the combo tutorials in training, and I felt they were borderline impossible. haha seemed no matter how many times I tried, or my timing on the combo, they never worked. or the combo string timer would end before the combo could even be performed.
It’s hard to get the timing tbh. Just keep practicing!
I’ve had the hardest time doing launch/juggle combos. I can’t tell if it’s because I’m used to playing on a PlayStation controller now I’m on Xbox or if I was that used to MK11
Even the combos in this video I can’t get😂
It’s hard and it takes practice. Keep it up!
Who do you feel has the most beginner friendly combos?
Video on that coming soon!
Nothing that’s come out can top XL that was my favorite the best fighting paced mortal kombat
Xl was so good 🔥
Its all about timing and precision with rhis one
Agreed 🙌
The timing to do combos is what gets me. The input won't come out if I'm even off a second. I hate how fast you have to press the buttons
Im having trouble comboing after dash any ideas how to do it better?
It’s just the timing tbh. Dashing in combos can be hard to get used to and it honestly just takes practice
Thanks first mk game ever only bought game cuz I saw rain I only played apex legends as my main only game for 4 years straight
Nice! Rain is a ton of fun to play! Good luck!
As an old man what are the number values in respect to the kontrols? Asking on a ps5
The beginning of the video has the explanation 🔥
@onestep the Switch controller doesn't follow this 0:16 pattern. It is 1=X, 2=Y, 3=B, 4=A
Well yes but the idea is the same like 1 - light lunch 2 - heavy punch 3 - light kick 4 - heavy kick
how many hours a day should i practice?
Uuhh depends on your schedule. I would do AT LEAST 1-2 sets a day just to stay in the groove. But missing a day or two here and there Is totally fine
Just curious, how are you numbering the attacks?
What’d you mean? 😅
@@onestephe meant down 3, down 4, up 2 stuff like that
Raiden is my main, i would like to see more videos of him i have a friend that plays baracca and he is destroying me with pressure, help!!!!
I’ll do my best!
I find aerial attacks so hard to do any tips?
It did the timing. It’s something only time and practice will fix. Keep up the work! 🔥
@@onestep I can now consistently do b2 3, u1 3 4, bf1 with liu kang so it’s going well.
Special cancel is a better term.
Ok 👍
I just play and I guess I been doing all of this stuff just playing😂😭😂😭😂
Sometimes that can happen 😅
I can't amplify the specials to save my life. Any tips??? Thanks
You gotta press the block button at the exact same time as the input. It can be hard to get down
@onestep thanks bro, for responding. Im on xbox s and i can't amplify anything. Seems really tricky 😕
@@caseycockerham3925 just keep up the practice. It takes time 🔥
mileena/katana/smoke are my mains haha
Nice choices!
Honestly this game has just been hard af for me personally
It just takes some time to get used to. Keep up the practice!
i cant dash into a combo, pls help 😮💨
Dashing inside a combo is hard cuz it has to be super fast and immediate. It honestly just takes practice and patience. Keep trying and keep at it!
Im a new player trying to master Kenshi only to learn that he's one of the hardest characters to learn 😅
Ya that’s gonna be a rough road 😂
But how do you remember all the combos
That just takes time and patience 😅
He asked the question a lot of noobs are asking themselves. Combos are cool and all but, how do you research it and all.
I do my best 🔥
Sub zero is my main then smoke/Quan chi
Great choices!
I struggle more with memory, thats what sucks the most for me
Ya that can be hard to get down unfortunately
Started off mk11 wining and losing back to back. Mk1 I’m 2-17 😭
Keep up the grind! You wouldn’t be a pro basketball player in just a few days. It takes practice and patience
what’s better to use the joystick or the d pad on a controller
I used stick but I know many who used d pad. I think it’s all personal preference 😅
@@onestep ok thank you i learned one of the combos but instead of doing the ball i did an enhanced teleport and i liked it a lot thank you for the help
Personal preference…. A lot of people prefer the pad because some find it more accurate
Mortal kombat x was so good and 11 idk what the hell this new game is tho😂
Mkx is my favorite 🔥
This shii makes me feel slow asf 💀 when I am not fast with movement
It just takes time and practice 🔥
I hate the cameo system 😅 💀
How come?
Tanya
Yes
