Needing near-perfecr inputs for combos is fair imo. Feels good to practice it and pull it off in a real match

I remember maximillion dood said that Mortal Kombat had the hardest gameplay of new fighting games when he was doing Ermac Combo trials and his fans were about to lynch him over saying that

MK is so fun

7:25 OMG that explains so much! I always input my combos early by mashing the same button multiple times WTF!!! XD

One of the main reasons I play MK is for the block button lol.

In my personal experience everybody who makes the mk is easy criticism usually sucks at the game lol

Mortal Kombat is a fighting game that requires the player to use more of their brain for combos unlike the other fighting games

MK1 is my favorite MK game to date!!! I love it; it's so fun!!! The roster is just incredible, and everyone is so fun to play!!!

I personally like the fact that you have to be more precise in your combos. It’s more satisfying to pull off combos imo

In summary, most fighting games work with you, while Mortal Kombat works against you.

I also never understood the “MK is easy” criticism. I picked up Sf6 when it came out, played classic controls the whole time and got to Platinum quite easily. I know that’s not a huge deal, but after grinding SF6 I kept thinking, “why do people think this is so much more difficult than MK”? It really isn’t.

I noticed the combo lockout, but accepted it as it is, i didn't thought anything of it, but my friends that are newer whenever i tried to teach them a combo they would always spam a button and got lockout

Love the game. I was not sure at first, but once I took a little time to get to know the basics, I am in love with it. The invasion this season was fun and the titan fights were amazing

The reason I struggle to get into Injustice (as a diehard DC fan) is because there’s no block button lol. Retreating and blocking in that game incentivizes zoning imo. Because of walk back block you get things like injustice 2 deadshot

One of your best videos!!! I will use this to explain to people why MK is not that easy and it actually is harder in some regards!!! Thanks for making it so straight to the point and you actually mentioned things I didn't know!

I think a big factor why people think it’s an easy game is because a lot of the pro players usually play keep away and go for the same, sometimes optional, combo string with the same characters like Johnny, Raiden, and so on; we need to see more characters and different combos. I kid you not, one of Reiko’s combo guide trial requires you to connect his B2, a hard knockdown attack, with Jax’s back breaker and follow up with a B3 without disrupting Jax.

The character kombo challenges are egregious. You are absolutely correct on the execution timing. I was doing the Kitana kombo 9 challenge that added Shujinko for every character and after the air freeze Shujinko uses from Geras, you have to connect a meter burned fan throw. Even though I watched the kombo connect going from 8 hits to 9 hits, they claimed my timing was incorrect and failed me at the fan throw input. Let's not even talk about Ermac's level 7 challenge.

I am so glad they don’t give us easy combos like how you’re referring. I don’t want it done for me. It already annoys me that some of smokes moves seem to have multiple moves in one. I want to have to do it myself. Don’t want any “mash right trigger” combos AT ALL. In other words, get good! 🤣 (j/k, but seriously…)

I do find it to be more difficult. It’s definitely harder than 11 IMO. I find the combo timing needs to be so disgustingly precise especially for pauses between combo steps. Do you think NR will ever adjust any of the issues you mentioned regarding the buffer and the combo lockout or is this just the way it will be forever?

Honestly the combo lock out I’m fine with because as you said with just mashing one button it’s not fun so with me it’s more of a skill thing just need to learn to take it slow but with like faster combo routes to where your needing to press so many inputs quickly I understand the frustration so I would understand if that needed a little leeway

The block buffer is to allow the blocking opponent to armor or punish offensive players as a reward for flawless blocking or gaps in attack. Makes total sense since most armors are special moves which are used as a punish and the buffer is not there on offense. Which also requires a release of the block button to do: However, much high risk for a full combo.

More proof that MK1 is more immersive in the gameplay than other fighting games. Mk1 is king.

Not going to lie. I watched this video and did my normal MK1 stream. I legitimately was so much better being aware of the points you made of combos and such so thank you!

Been teaching my girl mk1 im not the greatest by any means but seeing how difficult it is for her who’s never played an mk game shes piecing stuff together

I didn't know about the combo lockout. It makes sense now.

I absolutely prefer a block button. Sure it might be cool to be able to back up and block but something about the button feels so much better

I actually quite like "combo lockout" as you called it. It prevents mashing and encourages precision inputs. I came from For Honor where mechanical skill and execution is practically not existent outside of ganking (2v1) and teamfights (2v2, 3v3, etc.). It's refreshing that you have to actually have to get your inputs correct and adds skill to the game. I get that for casual players and general audience it can be frustrating, so maybe a nice compromise in the future would be to make ranked modes have these systems, but casual modes allow for more lenient inputs.

Mk also have more zoners than Tekken and SF to the point where its more insane.. And the grab gues tec is much harder than the 2.. Especially Ermacs grab mechanics

I was hoping someone could explain these type of mechanics and point out some of the extra hard moves require precise timing and such! But still somewhat better than one button mapping/tapping

Yeah I don't like when someone says this is a button mashing game. It's like u don't understand how many hours I spent in practice getting my combo down.

Bro it’s NOT easy. There is so much to memorize. The muscle memory takes weeks of practice. Kameos? Bro… it’s not easy.

It doesn’t have modern controls on but there are simple controls where there is a simple where there are no diagonal inputs at all

4:39 is 1 of the most annoying things about MK even if I'm plus for landing the hit my opponent can simply mash and steal the turn back. I tried many times to explain this to people but because they were so causal they couldn't understand and thought I was saying I was waiting too long to press the button or thought I was incapable of mashing back when it shouldn't even be possible for them to land a hit before me if I am plus on hit.

Buffering and Combo Locking are the most annoying things in this game (Gameplay-wise) It's very discouraging when trying to learn a character that already has complicated inputs for an efficient combo but also requires absolute timing... it stops me from learning my favorite characters and encourages spamming or giving up entirely and moving onto a different character I hate simply because it's easier.

MK also doesn't feature legacy special inputs; meaning, the motion for Ryu's fireball has always been d,df,Punch. Scorpion's spear, however, changes it's input across most of the games.

I started playing MK1 on may 16th and thought I was doing kinda alright, then I went into online mode and I realised I sucked. Idk how people with even lower levels than me manage to learn everything so quickly😅. It’s hard, especially having to remember every button combo and I still need to learn how to do air combos.

What's your thoughts on Shredder as DLC from TMNT?

As an MK player none of this is a problem to me because I haven't played any other fighting game but I'm glad I found a video explaining MK is not easier as some people say!!!

just reduce the chip damage on projectiles and overall it might improve more solid gameplay

The combo lock is my only problem with this game, that is the only reason I can't do 50%combos.

let a street fighter or tekken player hop on mkx to see how easy it is

This is gonna be one of your first videos where I cannot agree, for each argument i have an argument against or a diffrent view/experience, for example no modern controls but the input system for motion inputs is way more forgiving but also loses a lot of technical stuff u can do with it like TKs

It’s like the cost to play MK1 is higher than any other game in terms of time it takes to fully learn and become a high level player, but the reward is so much more worth it because that gives it the highest potential in being the most enjoyable of all fighting games imo. MK1 is by far my favorite to date!

The only challenge i have with m1k is not falling asleep.

I never understood this contest fighting game have of wHiCh iS tHe bEsT nonsense Mortal kombat, street fighter, tekken. They are all good games in their own way and nobody should be afraid to be a fan of them no matter how much the opposite site is trying to talk it into your brain play the game that gives you the most fun end of the story?

I feel like the most important and hard thing in mk is reaction speed. Micro ducks, confirms and punishing are so important. Combos are easy tho. The difficulty comes from the lvl you're aiming for, like in every other fg.

It s normal to feel differently for our first fighting game.. but in 2024, i really enjoy mk1.. with Ethernet At the end, a lot of people can't handle a lost because they only can blame themselves.. At FPS you can blame your team, a cheater.. etc.. when you lose.. No such thing at FGC, you want to improve, you gotta practice.. period

THAT COMBO LOCKOUT IS REAL DUDE. FUHHHHH---

id say sf6 has the hardest combos cuz of drive rush especially with the combo system like normally if ur opponent is in the air u can do anything to keep them in the air but in sf6 you are more limited in combo lenght for other things like neutral i’d go tekken 8 because of sidestepping, stances, and character variety mk1 gaving a block button doesnt change much when it comes to blocking besides switching from no block button to mk1 and actually the block button stoped things like cross ups and sandwiching your oppenent

"Combo lockout" has made me a much better player...... I think it's a good thing, honestly.

these things makes me love mk 1

does barakas slaughterhouse count as auto combo ?

Tekken 8 auto combos aren't really a cruch, they're more of an anchor. So you have to learn the ACTUAL COMBOS if you want to do good to any degree in Tekken 8.

This is exactly why I get pissed playing Mileena Mavado because her only mid if you input 4 one to many times Mavado will not come out

Me posts The Main Villains for the 2nd Season of a Marvel vs DC Show and reveals Scorpion’s Voice TrueUnderDawgGaming: releases Videos about Gameplay He truly is a UnderDawg 😉

ive got so used to mortal kombat gameplay with 11 and 1 i find other fighting games alot harder to understand and remeber controls , still vaild points tho mk is alot harder than people give it credit for

I’m disabled and I can never block in MK but I could if it blocked if you walked back

Good vid. i agree

I hate the cameo system ngl

I did that shit with king in tekken 7 and had a field day 😭

The problem with mk in general is how overpowerd paid characters are. No wonder why everyone is playing peacemaker or omniman.

Who looked at M1K with kameo fighters, air combat, and all of it's nonsense and thought "Easy sauce".

When are we going to get homelander we saw his trailer.

As someone that also plays all the modern fighters I would not call it the easiest game but I can understand how veteran FGC players who have long since removed their training wheels might regard it as so. Also push block meaning you can't just create free whiff punishes is real. Also basic movement in MK is hardest 100%

Easy to be a scrub. Harder to play with creativity, skill, and generally not being an asshole. Which is 90% of KL. 😂😂

Personally, I think MK1 is more worth it to play, it makes you work in order to get what you want, it makes the experience much more fun and it means you worked hard to get where you are right now in the game.

I think the button canceling is good I think it’s crazy other games let you be so messy with buttons

Wow, here before the 5 min mark with no notification. Thanks, KZfaq

I find this game harder to actually combo in the mk11 im not quick enough to get buttons timed right in the millisecond

I did a test with my second gt and RANKED up with out single punch kick or combos just stand still and get your a..! Kicked ive got to warrior rank that says it all in my OPINION about the RANKED in kombat leauge 😱🤣😱

Mortal kombat especially mk1 is definitely the most difficult fighting game in terms of playing like a pro and performing optimal combos....tekken 8 only requires more skill in movement cause u can sidestep...but mk1 is overall more difficult to perform actual combos

Imagine playing as the red ranger 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Is it harder to forward dash in MK1 than running?

i just want 1v1 option

It is a decent game gameplay wise, a bit more content and it would be good, it is getting there.

Easy combos are stupid

I like Mortal Kombat 1 games❤😊

Let's dissect the man ... 1. Auto Combo. Being that fighting games rely on you not being obvious and that Auto combos have one route. They're really not that reliable, especially at any level that isn't a beginner. So you can't use it as a crutch for too long. 3. Block button, If we're arguing defensive option then there's not that many in mortal Kombat, in Tekken you can hold back but yóu have to worry about throws, ofcourse throws in mk exist . But not as robust as Tekken . On top of that there's side stepping, guard breaks and character specific things。 3. I agree about input buffers. 4. Match ups , 😂 yo.. even if you removed all the legacy stuff from Tekken, still has way more match up knowledge than mk. Komeos don't have that many moves, nor do the characters. One Tekken characters moves are still worth 5 to 10 characters from MK . 5. Option select , pretty handy feature.. Honestly I've seen your Tekken gameplay, really not that good, I think if you were in higher ranks , you wouldn't have this disposition.

"Mk1 doesn't have auto combos." Baraka disapproves 👎

Personally as someone who grew up on streetfighter and Tekken..i find MK1 way harder.. And i noticed all the issues you listed..by far MK1 you have to be more precise with inputs than the other 2.. Tekken to me is overall the most complicated..

Lag switching is extremely common in ranked for all mk games , and casual mode full ov rage quiters... thats what make the game not fun , not to mention the average ping ull see is 100-250 very rarely do u find 40-60 ping who aint a lag switcher or rage quiter

When do you think movie scorpion will release??

You just listed some of the main reasons I can't play MK for more than a few days in a row. The stupid buffer thing is specially disgusting. I do like some characters and mechanics, but in the end the game is too annoying, so I switch to play any other more polished FG.

I dont understand why do you have a problem with autocombos; only game you could argue they were too strong is dbfz and even there it was character specific. Good video tho

Really didn't like those days when so called pro players used to mock Mortal Kombat and say it wasn't areal fighting game. I am glad that we don't hear that as much these days. I still think there is a level of execution required if you want to be really good with this game. Also in certain situations it can be very unforgiving.

This game is so much fun, I love the fact that technicaly every character has bread and butter combos, and any weaknesses can be worked out with a good kameo, great game and highly recommend it especially if you love 3D era characters🙏

Soooooooo are we gonna get a nerf for ERMAC?????? WHY tf would you give him that much range!?

this video just makes it seem like MK1 is the hardest fighting game this decade😂😂

🔥🔥

Most combos aren’t difficult at all. Mixups and cancels and optimal combos can be difficult and take skill. However doing the same bread n butter easy combo doesn’t take any skill. Zoning doesn’t take any skill I was able to get God rank just using Reiko stars and tremor boulders no combos no mixups just doing 1 move. For example the clips of rain gameplay, doing the same combo into sub zero mixup. Doing that one thing over and over doesn’t take skill, to block it and get out does.

Dont know if you reply but, i dont see no patch notes or updates but it seems they nerfed general shao and movados damage. It seems we cant have nothing nice in this world Edit: I was mistaken, it's a mavado shadow nerf for everybody😢

People think this game is easy?!

lol mortal kombat demands perfection

sorry man but the autocombos example is bad, atleast in Tekken if you use autocombos youre asking to loose over and over since your oponent can see your inputs or you are ultra begginer. Mk is not that easy , it is still a meme compared to sf6 and t8 , and dont get me wrong i played mk 11 until god and mk1 util demi god i totally fell in love and thats why i tried other fighting games and oh boy is mk way way scrubby and ez. One charackter in tekken is deeper than mk1 + cameos. Also the key bindings thing is also really memish, because if you are the equivalent of warrior in mk lvl in Tekken you will get boddied. Sf6 is way strickter in frames and it actually was really hard to come from mk to sf. Legacy moves is a good thing and something i really find sad about MK not having legacy. Also the skill expression topic is uncomparable with others. And then you have WB doing all this unfinished scrubby things to the community. Combo breaker MK about 240 players signed in, compared to 1,5k + with T8 and SF6. I love you man but you are way to bias with mk1.

I hate mk1 made the block & enhance button the same one. And that you had to commit to enhance and time it perfectly rather than getting to choose if you want to enhance mid special move like in mk11

He really thought he ate with this video... 💀 Girl, do not put SF6 and Tekken 8 in the same dimension as MK1.

yeah because there are 10 options u have to guess

You play every fighting game what about Def Jam?

Easiest way to put it is SF got easier as new games came out and MK got harder when new ones came out (minus 11)
