Not just Mortal Kombat but this help me understand alot of mechanics in fighting games.

Descriptive and informative as usual. Thanks for all the helpful resources over the years, Dink -- they've helped me tremendously.

Im glad you explain things so thoroughly in your guides. It's an incredibly valuable resource for people looking to learn!

oh man this game has hit me in a different way. MK9 taught me all of this and I am so pumped to return (have not played an NRS game since Inj1). Excited to see your future content! :)

Even though I play other fighters and can dream about frame data it is always helpful to check out a great guide on a fighting game I’m not so familiar with like Mortal Kombat. Great video and thank you for the explanation! Will definitely be helping me out when I start playing 👍🏻😄

That was the video that I was looking for, everything's clear , all well explained, thanks for take your time to make this kind of videos, new sub.

You need way more views, man. This shit has helped me so much!

Thanks for this, between your video on frame data and DashFight’s great MK1 guides and resources, since I plan on using Reptile as my main as I’ve always liked the character and his moves but, to me this is far and away the most fun version of the character in the modern MK games, even more so than MKXL which casually I had a lot of fun with that version too.

Thanks for the refresher 😂 ❤ im feeling better already

Excellent video buddy...really helpful, well explained, much appreciated, keep up the good work 👏

Mortal Kombat is a very complex game where frame data plays a huge roll. I come from games like SF, KOF, and Guilty gear where frame data mattered very little cause it was all so easy to understand but in MK you need this info or you will be lost

I’m trying to take mk1 serious. I want to hit 20-30 combos!! Thanks for the video !! Being new to this it’s still very helpful!

That improve my performance in mk1, thank you bro!

this channel is so underrated thank for your help i apritiate you

I’ve been watching your videos since MK1 came out and I must say I really enjoy your content. It’s very easy to understand and also your play style is all around honorable. I understand frame data much better after watching your videos. I am wondering if you can take a look into Geras’ move list and frame data. I Know I’m not a pro or anything, but it seems like Geras’ has no real way to deal with pressure other than counter poking or using his armor move, but then his armor moves range is so bad that sometimes the pushback from the other characters make it whiff then causing me to get punished. Has has 7 frame and 9 frame moves but the range is so bad as well and they are highs. His best mid is 16 frames and gets blocked every time I try to take my turn, and this the range of his other mid is so small I have to be right up on them to make anything work, but again the push back from other characters makes me get punished for trying to take my turn back. I like playing him cause he’s fun, but right now I’m struggling.

I already know this, thanks in part to a video from you about IJ2, in fact. But hey. My little view helps the channel. By the way, among the many things this game unfortunately doesn't have, I really liked being able to turn the HUD off in practice mode. I can hardly see anyways so I don't mind it. And now they added accessibility audio cues. In SF6 is like that too, so I play without interphase. And then forget to turn it on and my friends complain when they come over to play, lol. Hugs Dink, I am enjoying MK1 a lot :)

i finally get it, thanks alot man

Thanks I think I learned something

Thank you. This was really informative #bonehawks

Helped a lot thanks

I love frame data videos

Very nice video

This is gold

I don't know why people don't push back against netherrealm's fram data logic, ytf would you be negative 21 on block but only +9 on hit? Smoke has a teleport that is 37fr natural and enhanced is 24fr??? Mf why

How did you setup scorpion to teleport and then block immediately? Did you record scorpion teleporting and then blocking immediately?

Can somebody please explain to me why a 7 frame startup move did not combo after he hits teleport and is +9?

nice

@shujinkydink sup bro time fly you probably don’t remember me but it was me you back in the day playing mk9 on xbox360 we use to have tournaments I know it was me you., Kevodaman, 16bit, forever king, foxy grandpa, ect man time fly I miss those day good to see you still in community frfr luv you bro

Thanks for these guides! Understanding this game more and more and was just in an online match with my main Li Mei and going against a sub zero.. was able to hold my own a little bit but he kept getting me with the ice slide into spear then using the ice ball and chain combo over and over and won .. but I’m glad I know how to better prepare.. I’m using Sektor a lot as my kameo and really like them together, but feeling like I may have to go Frost to even the playing field against the smokes, raidens, and subs online to get some time to react .. some matches I’m just watching them for 10 seconds or more 😂🫡🐉😂📺👑🎞️✍️

Dink ur mk grapics looks rly good how do u do that?

thanks for the video! it really cleared things up. But why does a forward 1 2 3 have a longer start up than just a forward 1?

Can you please jump on ranked matches with shang tsung I'm really struggling with him online

what is recovery and cancel advantage? please explain it🙏🙏

6 months later but I have a question. When I do down 1 and it lands I have a 12 frame advantage, yet when I try to do a move that is quicker than 12 frames it still doesn’t hit the opponent and they can block it. Why is that?

I'm off tomorrow and plan on buying this. It's been 8 years since I last played mk and I'm loving the vid on frame data. I'm a street fighter player since 4. Are there footsies in mk 1?

I am very new to fighting games and your video helps a lot, but there is something I don't quite understand😄 Let's say the opponent uses a really fast attack which is also positive on block. Like a jab with a start-up of 7 frames and a block advantage of +2. If the opponent keeps spamming this same move, it means I will never get my turn back and automatically lose the match, correct?

Thought I was the only one who’s frame data was off

I still don't understand frame data it's to much to learn and don't know what to do in certain situations

Does -6 or less being save include plus frames?

I’ve been playing Mortal Kombat in the arcade, since it was first released. I still think all this frame data stuff is unnecessary and makes everything complicated for no reason.

MAKE TIME STAMPS.

I may be incredibly ignorant in suggesting this - but I feel in general, learning frame date is a waste of your time (but yes, I'm still in pursuit of understanding the concept).. Yes, it only helps if you're competing at high levels, but you can still get very far - certainly far enough as a casual, by just learning the game via trial and error. I'm beginning to pressure myself into learning and understanding frame data, and I'm having a rough time because at the end of the day, I probably don't NEED to be spending the amount of time I already spend playing these fighting games, and I've done quite well at MK1 and Tekken 8 without any knowledge of frame data whatsoever. I've landed on the leaderboards and in MK1 in particular I always ride the line between God and Eldergod (the 1st and 2nd best ranks), and I want to get better! So I look to frame data and I'm like yeah, okay, but this is the difference between having something I already know from experience being explained to me in technical terms, and learning these things via experience playing the game for hundreds of hours. Of course, knowing frame data never hurts, but is watching videos like this really going to help the casual player more than actually playing the game? I feel like this is something you could use when playing professionally, but in order for it to be truly useful you'd already have to be invested in the game to nearly unhealthy levels. I know from experience, because here I am trying to learn this stuff, but it also leaves me scratching my head, with the knowledge I will still beat the vast majority of people who watch videos like this, simply from having played the game more. Then games like SF6 come along, almost suggesting people re-learn these concepts and at that point every game makes it's own rules, and is it really practical for casual players to sit down with a pen and paper to learn all this? My guess is no. This knowledge will only be put to use by the top 1% of players. Everyone else would be better off simply playing the game. Maybe I'm just frustrated trying to grasp these concepts, but I could also just watch videos on KZfaq that SHOW me when to punish certain characters after certain moves, without knowing the numbers for everything. So is frame data today, with what we can learn from actually watching KZfaq tutorials, still relevant? And it might be! But I'm trying to understand why..

First of all I want to preface this by saying this game sucks
