"Jumping too much is a bad habit" Kabal and kung lao mains: I have no idea what you're talking about

It’s funny how he said “Overhead combos” and had a clip of Kung Lao in the background

Lesson #1: You dont play to win. You play to get better.

Low poke is the most important thing when fighting. When you low poke, they'll start blocking while crouching. And then you can do whatever you want. Grab, Special Attack, even overheads. It's all about gaining control.👊

MadDogg:Have fun playing fighting games Toxic mortal kombat community:We gonna stop you right there

This was back when people said Johnny Cage was low tier, Johnny Cage main since day one, baby.

Fun fact: The last tip is everything I basically needed haha. Just don't give up, don't get frustrated and focus on the elements of the game, such as Frame data, combo learning and the other things you mentioned, which all can even be found in the ingame tutorial. So for the most part, I just came for the motivation xD Thanks for the video man

honorable mentions using your fatal blow too early, and not understanding your characters krushing blows

Tho I consider myself an experienced player I was curious if I was guilty of any of these. Only 1 I needed work with was defense meter. I never used get up attacks or rolls. But have been since the start of the new kombat league. "A man is never to old to learn"

All 8 mistakes on this video were made by me.......

Frustrated is the one I have to work on I just wanna snap my dang controller half the time

#9: Not Learning The Fundamentals

Me watching this video: ok cool Him talking about frame data: Aight imma head out

I've been playing fighting games most of my life and this is one of the BEST general tips videos I've seen on KZfaq. Fantastic work MadDog!

This video finally got monitzed! For not being monitized, this video was put under the radar. No suggested, or recommended as well as going to sub boxes. Please SHARE and LIKE this video if you enjoyed and learn something new. Lets get this video active and spread around youtube! For more videos like these, it will mean alot to LIKE and COMMNET on it! Thanks!

Your exactly right about the character picking too soon. I've been trying to juggle 5 at once. Got my main down but still true. I practice my combos in time towers once I'm comfortable with it

Hey I say thank you man I'm a fighting game junkie actually. But your video was actually very motivating because Mk11 has really been frustrating me lately since I've been trying to learn it. Your video really reminded me of the grind and how valuable that time is. It also pointed out alot of the mistakes that I was making. So thanks for the tips and keep up the good work by making these great videos!

One of the best videos I’ve seen on beginner tips. I’ve watched every video that you have made. Some of them 4-5 times: you have one of if not the best channel for MK11 on KZfaq. Please keep doing them and continue all your series as they go!!:) I love the combos of each character showing the bread and butter combo, the fatal and krushing blow combos and corner combos. I love the tips and tricks for each one at the end of the main video!!! Keep it up :)

Oh and your videos are insightful. You have a 'teacher' feel about you in the videos. So I've subscribed and look forward to more beginners videos!

At first I thought some of these seemed obvious but as I kept watching I have to say this is actually one of the only really helpful beginner advice videos ive seen and sometimes we forget what it was like as a novice/beginner player and roll our eyes when someone recommends avoiding obvious mistakes and flaws and or working them out of your game through practice and you can get so used to having certain bad habits in your game that limit your skill and ability and become automatic and sometimes you need to be reminded of them and have someone point them out and they can be extremely hard to unlearn and sometimes you can't entirely get rid of the effect that certain bad habits have on your game and are just too deeply embedded in your reflexes that ultimately ends up making you slower than someone who practiced the right way because even if you make the same moves as them you have to spend the extra time thinking about it or always having to think ahead making you really vulnerable to fast and unpredictable opponents and if they start to poke holes in your game plan and do something you weren't prepared for and even falline half a second behind in high level competitive Mk11 can cost you your entire life bar in less than five seconds and in a game like mk11 with competition so sweaty that being one frame late one time can lose you an entire match you simply cannot afford to fall behind or be anything other than faster than your opponent

1:45 - I actually have to mash super fast on sequence, since looking for a visual cue will just make me too slow and therefore miss the combo window

Thank you for taking your time to make this types of videos, they help out so much :) You just earned a new sub

#9: not watching this great video

9:15 tell that to my anger issues

Mk is my first love, it introduced me to fighting games. I had SF first but MK took me to another level in the 92. I used to know ever combo and finisher lol. I'm older now and finding time to practice is hard. I just opened MK11 and I'm dedicated. It's fun learning this again. Thanks for the tips.

Like 5 minutes after watching this video I immediately noticed improvement

Really good video. Great breakdown of basic game elements. Thanks!

Thanks man I needed this

I've signed in just to like your video and subscribe because it was really helpful especially the getting frustrated part, thanks budd for boosting my mood up.

I love you man, your narration is epic. ❤️

loved the video man, thanks!

I can't believe I didn't find you during the first year of this game. Thank you for making this great content! Me and my wife very much enjoy your videos.

When I was a beginner, I too used Icy bois axe

Watched this video couple of months before I now started my MK11 journey and I'm actually following everything mentioned here especially not mashing! I still have a lot to go but it gives me so much joy to pull of a 2 bar Noob Saibot combo even if I lose. Defense, zoning & punish is probably the hardest things btw...

While I'm not a new player, I was curious about this video. Great job with it. Excellent advice, and as a bonus, you werent condescending toward new players.

Thanks for helping with this.

Wow did you take a psychology coarse in MK. Well done sir. I’ve had most of those bad habits in MK 9. Eye 👁 opener!

Well done buddy... well done! Very helpful video

Great video! Im a new player and Ive been struggling with inputs recently but this video helped me realize that it’s not always effective to just go for the same combo over and over😅

Just jumped back into MK after last playing MK Trilogy. This video was a massive help. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for making this video. I got into Mortal Kombat recently and have been struggling with kombos, as well as jumping..which is slightly hard on controller-at least for me. Thisll hopefully help me out.

This video pulled me back to the days when I was little and got to play my first fighter, back then it was Tekken 3. There was nobody doing more U4 spins with Jin than me. Oh man, those were the days.

Bought this after the recent Steam Sale. It's been fun losing and learning at the same time. It's ecstatic when your improvement becomes visible.

New subscriber: I can dig this video. #8 is a fact, a lot of people mash in mk11, which is why they lose . Mk11 is very strict with its frames. Hopefully these new mk11 players watch this video to help them improve their skills. Thanks for making this vid buddy. Keep it coming.

Thx so much for this video, i can finally patch up my gameplay flaws.

Great pieces of information.

Another mistake I noticed making is waking up with up 2 getup attack, instead of up 3. I did not know that only up 3 was invulnerable. And that's why I constantly get punished

I love the advice on not taking it too serious and that of course one has to win and one has to loose . But it's the fun you have that matters . Most of my friends get really angry when they loose a match online and complain about how the person is fighting but I tell them hey he's also doing what he has to do to win and it's his right

Very good videos. Even as an advanced player, I can appreciate how thorough your explanations are. Well done!

Thank you for the content it was very helpful and informative

The not getting frustrated is probably the best tip for new players and not giving up that is not brought up as much as it should be

Fantastic video bro.

Well done. Very impressive.

Thanks man. After I watched your videos, I don't mashing alot like a first time anymore. Combo and special moves easier to execute now, but sometimes I accidentally mashed but still minimal than before lol. I was like mashing and hoping the best I'll win 😂

Hello. I am glad I came across your channel. I haven't play MK since the 1990's. I am just starting again today playing MK11. It's so different to what I remember. Any tips are going to be super helpful.

Great video! Great advise

thanks for the help :D

Hi bro, thank you so much for the useful info. I just want to ask you how did you made your character selecting screen like this 08:22?

Good stuff. Frame data is the biggest mind fuck for me too. I think I understand but I cant explain it with confidence. Like how do you know when its "your turn" or not. Or how do you know what's safe or not. What are the prerequisites for being "safe" or " unsafe"

This is definitely a well thought out list but some things I would change, definitely not an expert myself but I have my fair share of hours on this game plus know how to play with all characters fairly well. Still good video and love the tips

Thank you so much, this will really help me a lot. I’m trying to practice using Sub-Zero.

Very good tips yes sir!

Had mk11 since it came out, played it, beat it, and now just went back to it cause of the movie coming out, and im learning the game all over again

I know how to play fighting game but i like watching videos like this #4 is a really good point, too many people pick a character just because they are top tier. They dont like using them but they pick them just to win.

Just bought MK11 last week and I felt so lost bro 😅 your video it's just a blessing bro, by the way the last fighting game I played was Power Instinct: Matrimelee xD on 2003 ROFL

I've had this since last October and I've never tried doing kombos and things so imma watch loads of videos and hopefully get good

I was watching the MK11 Interkontinental Tournament matches yesterday, and they all jumped, like, a LOT. Constantly and all the time, usually with a high punch attack, kinda like the old days in the UMK3/MKT days.

What amazes me about fighting games is how people can remember and precisely input special moves and combos like it's nothing. I can remember maybe 1-3 moves for each character at a time lol. God forbid I actually correctly input them without jumping or punching in between.

Thank you! Greetz from Germany

Good video really good 👌👌👌👍

I took all the day yesterday watching your Melina videos learning them trained for 6 hours thats how u train people not just get the game and go straight online

Thanks For The Tips

Like commented and subscribed before you asked me to. Great video, awesome kontent.

All of your Melina videos i learn yesterday couldn't do all on my friend online need to practice and block more

So you never lose to a "no strategy player". I know i have. The player would be so random ( with no skill) yet hard to read because he/she would be doing things that you know for sure it would be stupid to do... little did you know, they don't care and don't know about punishment.

i remember playing Mortal Kombat vs Dc Universe n the 36p with my brother and when i tell you button mashing was the only thing i knew it was bad lmao

Just bought the aftermath kollection. Needed this to pop up.

This is a dope video

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯this is simply awesome

I played the game so much when it release and the suddenly stopped cuz of my studies. I left a few days before Sindel came out and returned after joker for a week and then now playing consistently after spawn's release and I honestly needed this cuz I'm a complete noob rn

Thanks for the video , now that i know I Challenge you !!! 🤣

I remember when I first got the game I never really liked learning the frame data I never understood it but it really does improve your skill in this game and its not that hard to understand at least I think.

Nice vid

“You can’t play frustrated” hold my beer I would when the fight and still be frustrated

What is the song that starts at 0:37, isnt in the music list? @MadDoggGames

thanks for this video! i recently got mk11 and im still getting used to the mechanics as the last game i played was UMK3 on Nintendo DS

Goddammit, this video is very motivational!

very well said

Amazing video

The problem with me and fighting games is that I get so mad when I keep loosing to cocky and pro players and I just give up but I hopefully think I might be able to play smarter after this video

Love ur video..jux realised my mistake

Kombo in practice mode only reminds me of Bloodsport where the muscular asian guy tells Van Damme, "very good, but brick no hit back!" After seeing van damme smash a brick with his bare hands ...lol

I knew all these but this explained it better than i ever could

Nice

Thanks sernandoe.

Great video

All of this is so accurate

2:48 don’t forget jumping also helps with your combos.

Sometimes I can’t help but mash the amplify button. I swear it doesn’t work unless I press it 5 times
