[@BenTower17]

Any serious MK player needs to learn all the games mechanics within the animations. That's fundamental to winning or loosin the round and game.👍

[@abjak2026]

Im new to fighting games and started playing Reiko and put time in to learning the frame data of his attacks, and it has made a huge world of difference in my online play. I don’t know the frame data of every enemy, but I know what I can hit confirm off of with mine, and I know what I can use to check the enemy for button mashing. I’ve been winning way more games and doing less button mashing.

Its advanced from data MK stuff. Casuals just wouldn't take the time or need to learn this. But any competitive MK head would hugely benefit learning it cos these are the games mechanics and decisive factors. It's a dam good bit of infomation👍

I’ve been practice mode for like 2-3 since I finally got the game yesterday. Learning kenshi for starters and the timing is crazy. Learning frame data will take you to the next level for sure

Wassup FOXY 👍 This is a really good technical video for Advanced MK heads. Highly recomend to learn each animation and their frame data and behaviour👍 Knowing when it's your go is a major factor in who combos and wins. Real good watch 👍

[@ANRO_ANRO]

“The only thing they think about is SUFFERING “ LOL love this video. I never understood frames that well but i just played safe whenever we exchange hits i try not to mash just block dash back and do a string as he meshes

[@BenTower17]

That example about being safe off a low with a throw is a good tip. You all can take unsafe moves and make them safer with certain cameos like Cyraxs Copterchopter or Kano ball cos they give you 'Pushback or being + frame' a safe advantage 👍

[@Unders]

Just me or is some of the frame data well off at the mo?

[@caracal82]

Nice video Foxy. Is there a chance you could make one on how to get better and how to lab footsies. I understand the frame data and it's importance but footsies blow me up. Specially against characters with long range or long advancing moves. How to get better at neutral?

[@sheweylolz]

I’ve been playing MK since it came out in the arcade and stopped at MK3, so it’s been a while. I always thought I was good but I was just mashing buttons and special moves. I started playing ranked and this week and just got absolutely wrecked. Like over 100 losses in the first week wrecked. I did the tutorials, practiced kombos for a couple hours, watched this video to make sense of how to tie all that in and actually play the game vs real opponents. Do that and save yourself the frustration and feeling of regret for spending so much on a video game. Once you learn your main and beat that guy who keeps beating your ass, you feel good about the $70 or $110 preorder you made 😂

[@JTarnished]

foxy how do u get rid of the annoying like clicking sound when u reset

[@kardrasa]

D1 pokes are -8 but does that mean you can punish them with a standing jab into a combo? Or do they remain low profile?

[@ippop4pking305]

Think you can only punish d1s with d1s

[@lycanthropic1122]

You can’t punish with a jab because of the push back that occurs on block. It puts you out of range of punishing. Also, even if there wasn’t any push back, jabs are highs. They could just mash D1 again and your jab would get punished because it’s going to whiff

[@lazyalpaca556]

How do you punish people who do a safe string then poke after with a high starter ? I’m tired of getting poked out my high starter

[@daydreamer3576]

If you mean they are doing a high starter, then do a move that makes you low to go under (low jab, uppercut). If you mean the opponent is mashing low jab after their safe string, which is beating out your high (same thing, they're going under you), block the low job and you'll have enough of an advantage to choose between going for a high starter or mid starter. Mind you if they're mashing low jab, your high will probably get beat out again. The freest way to beat low jab mashers is to block one, do your mid starter, then full combo. Hope this helps

[@lazyalpaca556]

@@daydreamer3576 problem is there’s barely any good mids in the game

[@wesb337]

Sorry if I missed it, but how do you counter the ‘poke then grab’ chain?

[@taylorlukes4810]

There's a couple different ways. Wake-up back dash, or an Armor EX attack, you can jump, flawless block and poke the throw. Kameo's can save you in MK1 depending on who you chose. Scorpion has a way to pull you straight back out of enemy range so you can punish with a projectile. Be creative. 👍🤙

[@wesb337]

@@taylorlukes4810 appreciate it

[@angelus1417]

Thanks so much for your videos . Out of interest if you go against some that just crouch blocks and mashes down+1. . . How do you open them up? Seems very hard to get past. Like you can block and hit a down 1 back but what then? You try any string and their down + 1 just have you out of it

[@amoff2009]

Use a mid dude , high attacks are faster but pokes beat highs , mids beat pokes

[@amoff2009]

Overheads also beat people crouching

[@medleyoz]

If you check them with a d1 you should be able to jail them with a high like a string starting with standing 1. Highs can be ducked but if you are say +10 and do a 7 frame high the opponent is forced to block the high - which is called jailing (this concept is in the tutorials in MK1). You can also start with a string that is a mid or even take a few steps back and whiff punish their missed D1 mash with a forward advancing move

[@miks2421]

​@amoff2009 what if you have no mids or its easy to block

[@amoff2009]

@@miks2421 reversal throw will usually beat out a poke depending how minus the string is , you can take your turn back with your own poke , or if you know there going to mash you can back dash at the end of there string they whiff there poke and you punish them for it

[@rb9882]

My hardest matchups so far are Havik & Reiko.. how do you deal with command grabs combos? Is the roll into command grab unblockable??

[@slayerofevil9753]

I think haviks roll is mid, and you can dodge Reiko's grab by jumping or crouching without blocking (unless enhanced because it's a mid but that cost 2 bars). The main thing with command grabs is that they can't do them while the enemy is in block or hit frames (unless in a juggle combo), so the best thing to do is after they hit you with a block string gain distance or use a fast attack to force them to block before they can grab you. Realistically though, it's basically another mix-up you have to deal with

[@daydreamer3576]

Your d2 shouldn't whiff against air punch attacks unless you're timing/spacing it wrong. For example if you're d2 is whiffing short then you need to microdash forward before you do it. Against jumping kicks I think that's what up-blocks are for, since jump kicks beat out d2s most of the time.
