Mortal Kombat 11 for Dummies (ULTIMATE BEGINNERS GUIDE)
Ойындар
Decided to make my first serious guide for all the people who tell me "I just bought mk11 because of you but I don't know what I'm doing. Can you help me?". This is an educational/Informative with very little entertaining aspects unlike my other videos. Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath Tutorial Guide. Focuses on how to defend, Frame Data and how to build combos. As well as some other mechanics.

something you did miss in the "punish" section, is that there is a 5 frame buffer when it comes to blocked attacks. You don't have to be frame perfect on punishes because of that window.

Wow this is such an amazing video I’ve been playing MKX since release and didn’t understand ANY of these start up/block advantage numbers! Thank you it is beyond helpful 🔥
I'm glad I came across this video. I'm planning on getting both MKx and 11, as they're both on sale on Steam rn.
This clip made me try the keyboard out of curiosity. It is so much faster for entering combos and you don't have to worry about the that wretched accidental jump / crouch when you are trying to do back, forward, * movements.
This is a very good guide. I’ve been playing MK11 for a year and I still learned something new especially with frame data and command grabs which not alot of guides touch on 👍🏻
I use a keyboard, can't say if it's great but i feel way more comfortable with it.
Best beginner guide for Mk11 I've seen, this is my first fighter so ive watched a lot of them.
I've played dragonball fighterz and this is so much different. I know all about the overheads and stuff but combo building was soooo hard. But this vid really helped me out. Thanks!

Been playing since release. Really needed this.
Scorpion searing rage is fine but for sub-zero, thin ice has low potential compared to the other variations, Personally I love both the avalanche and dead of winter as they offer new ways to play. On avalanche, the ice trap offers so much potential, personally I put it when I have an opponents your constantly blocking, then a F2 into BF3 slide into them and AMPLIFY it to throw them into the icetrap, then I to a jumping 2 into B143 into another slide. And I use his DF4 AMP after F2 and if the enemy blocks it, DF4 Amp gives me a mixup and keeps me safe! Now Dead of winter has some other amazing stuff too but yea, I heavily recommend not using thin ice of subzero, any other variation is better. Let me know your thoughts and no offense to Thin Ice players, this is just my opinion and recommendation from my own experience.
Honestly, as a long term watcher of the channel and new player of Mk11 (sort of) I can say that people can't just 'learn' how to play Mk11 from this video. It takes hours of practice with every character just to even be good at one character. If you want to be good at every character you need good memory and hours of practice on all characters. This video is very good at teaching the basics. Even taught me a couple things, very good basic (quick) tutorial video. But if you expect to be as good as Lolhounds or Super from this video then you have to sink a lot of time into the game to be good at the characters
I've never play mk11 but I've just seen so many of your videos...its all come to me naturally

This helped me out with the frame data. Everything else I already know
The first time i watched it i didnt understand anything but now (2nd time watching) i understood literally everything and i could remember learning this in all the tutorials. The hard thing in some tutorials is that you have to complete combos that are pretty much impossible for beginner like me. At first i played Noob Saibot(hes damn strong doe but not in my hands) then i went to Kung Lao and sheesh i love this guy
i've literally been playing mortal kombat 11 for 4 years and only just now i was told that the analog stick is bad

tbh, I get it. One hundred thousand percent. Mainstream consoles (and thus mainstream controllers) have absolutely terrible D-Pads. Getting a forward-jump off without using two fingers in claw-grip on the d-pad works like 1/3 times. I mostly use them for moves in Fighterz too, because a quarter-circle or whatever just feels less like a nightmare using a stick rather than using a d-pad where if it doesn't register a distinct right-down press in between right and down my move isn't coming out.

The thing that's so crazy to me is how much easier MK is to Tekken. Honestly, Tekken 7 is the only game in history to make me give up due to how difficult i was finding it to get good. MK is like child's play compared to it. Even the longest combos are simple in comparison to a regular combo in Tekken. It's very refreshing because i can focus on positioning, defence and timing rather than being so focused on tiny little details that Tekken forces you to learn. Don't get me wrong, i absolutely adore Tekken and i much prefer watching it over every other fighting game, but MK appeals to me so much more as a player.
I’ve been playing this game for years and never improved, this helped me a lot thank you

I can tell you most ppl can't do half of that (and 25% of these combos are practically impossible without a sawn off keyboard)
I started with MKX and first it was hard but then t started becoming fun, My friend told me I should get mk11 because its very fun and better characters. When I got the game I didn't know how to start so I just got combat pack 2. I came her to learn the controls next I'm gonna learn combos for the people I like. Thx this helped alot
I always wanted to play good in MK and not resort to button matching. Nice video and greetings from México.
it's harder to press 2 directional buttons on a d-pad then it is on a keyboard,because on the keyboard,you keep a finger on each button at all times.on the d-pad you only have your thumb for all 4 buttons,and you need to press 2 buttons at a time with the same finger.
Damn... The thumbnail and title intrigued me... But now I actually do REALLY want to play mortal kombat 11. This is an awesome guide and I can't wait for the download on steam to finish now. 😂👌👍
Currently installing the game and so thoroughly confused. Whatever happened to low kick, high kick, low punch, high punch? That was basically the pinnacle of Mortal Kombat controls. Even the run button was a bit over the top
I like the way you roast us with basic in the begening of the video LOL. nicely done overall, helped me. Cheers!

Well I have never played a fighting game before so good thing he did
I was born in 1991. The vast majority of my life has been spent playing every single Mortal Kombat game that ever came out but only as a casual player to have fun. I was just curious to see what this video was about and it showed me so many things I didn’t know about. So while I’m better than almost anyone, I know at the game I’m absolutely dog shit compared to anyone who’s even remotely good for real. This video is definitely gonna make me much better because there’s so many things I didn’t even fucking know about . I did like the frames. I kind of understood but didn’t bother learning it because I thought it would take the fun out of it but the way you described it makes it so easy to understand lol Edit: I mean Kasual
This is much more complex than what I initially thought, but good guide!
This is the best tutorial video I've seen just started playing about a month ago

12:14 No, save your time. If you look in the frame data of each move or string there is something in the middle called “Cancel”. If there is a number there you can cancel that move or string into special moves. If it just says “N/A”, you cannot cancel into special moves. In my experience, the lower the number, the easier it is to cancel.
