How To Play Reiko - Mortal Kombat 1: Reiko Basic Character Tutorial

[@DanielQualls-7777]

As a Reiko main, my Reiko is lvl35, every palette, every foreground, every background unlocked, every taunt activated, every helmet found, I'm able to tie Reiko's combos together quite easily, for example, I can do Fwd-X-Y-B and then tie it in with two buttons from his B-A-B, and use B-A, and then tie THAT in with Dwn-Bk-A. I'm ALSO able to do Y-X+Dwn-Bk-A, and then I can ALSO do X-Y+Dwn-Bk-A, and B-A+Dwn-Bk-A, ALL of which do almost ABOVE 30 percent damage. when I have Reiko paired with Jax, I can do Fwd X Y B and tie it with Jax's air-grab, and then do a Dwn-Bk-A, in result it comes out as a 21-28% damage combo. I can ALSO use Fwd X Y B and then Jax's air-grab, and when at 30% health, I can tie BOTH of those moves in with Reiko's Fatal Blow at the moment that Jax hits the ground with the opponent. When paired with Tremor, my Reiko can do Fwd X Y and then tie it in with Tremor's Ground Pound in Aftershock Forme, which is Back RB, I can ALSO do Y X Back RB, B A Back RB, and X Y Back RB. Reiko has been my main since launch, I USED to main Reiko/Darrius, and now I main Reiko/Tremor and Reiko/Jax because Tremor was my main in MKX, and Jax works with Reiko probably the best out of all of the Kameos. Janet is almost completely useless when paired with Reiko, as was MY experience with Janet, but she works EXCELLENTLY with Johnny, because of course, Johnny is broken, and Janet is a feminist Johnny, so of course, she is broken as well. My Reiko can do ALL of those combos and ALL of that damage, with Reiko, ax and Tremor alone. EDIT: Reiko ALSO has the most-likely the MOST Brutalities out of everyone else in the game, and when paired with a lvl15 Tremor, Reiko's number of Brutalities goes up to TWELVE, as Tremor has six Brutalities in and of HIMSELF, 3 OF WHICH are projectile-based Brutalities. THEREFORE, Reiko and Tremor are one of, IF NOT THE BEST duo in the game, and Johnny and Janet don't come close.

I absolutely love reiko his animations are awesome he moves like a mma fighter

[@Bongobjork]

I've used the parry move on wakeup against Liu Kang quite alot. Reason being that his forward 4,1 breaks armor with the kicks being so fast. But the parry does work really well because the kicks are mid attacks. If you meter burn the parry you can also combo out of it with back 3, but remember that there's a side switch

[@daktheavking9357]

Super,Daryus P, DashFight and Maddog gaming are the holy quartet of MK guides

[@lostmnt]

To hit comfirm the running knee is very easy, all you guys have to do to get it 100% of the time is just react by inputing the slide FIRST (bf3) and only after that you hold up, you have more time than you would think, try it its very easy and reliable, holding back can make it trick so hold up

[@DarriusWilder7]

Great video. Been wondering about Reiko, but now I’ll definitely look into him.

[@govegan92]

Let's see if Reiko is my kinda thing Edit: Stryker seems like a cool kameo for him, too!

[@VanceWeebin]

Word, I like chars like Geras, Kenshi, and Smoke. Reiko looks cool, I like how this game makes every character seem interesting to play

[@ArmandoSoto-h2t]

The fact that Darrius takes up the whole kameo bar makes me not like using him, not to mention the timing after the command grab is a little tricky. The scorpion assist is really useful for some pop up combos to get ~350 damage more consistently since the cooldown doesn’t take as long - can’t combo from the grab though. Also agreed, his projectile is INSANE!

[@michealkelly9441]

He's already got the best projectiles in game, pair with Stryker and it'd over. Fantastic mix up too

[@sikevillain]

Ayye Reiko tutorial from Super. Let's freaking gooooo 🔥 my main

[@PR-ON-WZ]

Thank you i wanted you to make a video and u did know i can play reiko and DOMINATE anybody!

[@iiTzBanks]

Me watching this knowing I’ll prob never use Reiko, gotta examine the enemy 😂

[@hourblood2974]

😰

[@jaidora]

His B2 is plus on block and I think it even jails opponents into F12 or the regular 12. There’s also his F2 which is a fast overhead, very punishable on whiff but almost everyone’s default block stance is the crouch block if they don’t have/want to spend meter.

[@repstylegaming9730]

You make the combos look so easy! My fingers start to hurt lmao.

[@AwolMedal27]

Reikos combos are pretty difficult compared to like raiden and Baraka.

[@repstylegaming9730]

@@AwolMedal27 Yeah dude I can’t flick the stick fast enough for those knee cancels.

If it wasn’t for I would never have ignited my interest in fighting games…love ur kontent

[@ssplif5415]

How u get that stage?

[@blakecausey908]

Can't wait to try him out in this game

[@TheDarkestMarcus]

EX Command grab costs two bars, fyi, so you'll need three bars plus full kameo to the 60% kombo.

[@jaidora]

I haven’t tested this but something tells me that you can use the Motaro teleport assist after the EX slide or his 434 string to stay close to your opponents after you launch them. That said, his parry is both underrated but risky; Baraka, Mileena, Johnny, and Scorpion have a lot of high and overhead attacks to capitalize on but some of the other high tier characters like Raiden have ways around it that makes it harder.

[@Buddy_Beatz]

you can 434 into ex slide and it connects. unless i misunderstood what you asked. you can do 434, ex slide, stand 3, command grab or tactical takedown stand 34 might work as well instead of just stand 3, but id have to hop on and try it. if not your missing out on just a kicks worth of dmg so

[@jaidora]

@@Buddy_Beatz no I’m aware that the 434 and EX slide can connect but I was more so thinking where would be a good starting point to use Motaro for his teleport assist. I think my train of thought was looking at which combo strings launch the opponent up or kept them high enough in the air for you to teleport behind them and start a new combo string before the EX slide, takedown, or command grab. That thinking process came up when I remembered Super using Reptile’s spit to stun the opponent and Motaro teleported him behind the opponent for a quick follow up while they were in hit stun. Maybe I was thinking too hard and the easy idea is to anti-air with 4 or 3 the follow up with 12, 21, F1, and so on.

[@jaypadgett2489]

I dont know why but Reikos combos are so hard to execute 😂😂😂

[@sk84o4]

Linking the stand 3,4 into enhanced slide is kinda frustrating. It’s hard to do it consistently. I don’t really want to miss out on that extra damage but dropping the combo always leads to a punish for me

[@onma07ksa]

Happens to me a lot

[@terryburton971]

Keep at it my friends practice makes u better I'm still learning him from day one... I don't play every day.... I work to much lol

[@onma07ksa]

@@terryburton971 same. I can barel play as well

[@keloing923]

I was really excited to use him, but the more I do, the less he interest me. His back kick should be a low but it’s a mid. He can’t start combos and he takes more energy to use than sub-zero

[@POPSHOT16]

Please do how to play nitara your combos look so fun

[@theactualchrust]

If you want to use another Kameo, try Jax. His command grabs are also super good, especially the ground pound.

[@Labasta_de_Lua]

you're a great professor super!

[@dope7575]

Yesssir more Reiko 🤩

[@Poser9000]

Super for ur next mk1 vid can u pls try out shang tsung he's a rlly unique char in this game and I think you'll like him

[@-SCRATXH-]

My problem is get spammed the entire time with my block and am not sure what reikos best move for counter attacking is

[@km6348]

Tbh I just wanted to learn him because he looks cool But how do you do the timing for the ⬇️➡️3 when he in the air

[@milkman-30]

been labbing with the man and he’s super cool and fun to play

[@JoshuaFrenn]

I pair with Stryker for mix ups and zoning, I use Darius sometimes too

[@Eskimofo13]

Stryker is much more fun when you use his restand paired with Reikos plus frames

[@BBoy4040]

Come on, you and UnderDawg can't make tutorials about the same character on the same day

[@hourblood2974]

Right

[@cristianestrada5381]

Don't even know who underdawg is lol so who cares

[@kadendavis7379]

The king does what he pleases

[@atari8603]

Underdowng is bad at this game

[@Irollbigtime]

You should really have the meter to refill so you know that ex command grab uses 2 bars

[@xaviiiiv]

“Im gonna use 1,2,3 and 4” “If you hold A…”😂

[@terryburton971]

Mk 11 i played Kano day one... Mk 1 i play Reiko

[@dandremcdoe7865]

I cannot get the timing for Darius assist idk what the problem is

[@invincible_ssj4]

How do you do the knee????? I can’t find it 😅on ps5

[@OfficialAparicio]

ngl i have trouble wit the knee shi it’s so weird to do

[@michealkelly9441]

Jax works great with him also

[@ramonrodrigues4280]

Could somebody explain to me what is a "strife throw"? Plss

[@iitsMeStorm]

Reiko’s parry is not good.. you can get poked out of the start up animation of it and the exiting animation of the parry.. they have to hit right in the middle of the parry animation for it to work… which defeats the whole purpose of the parry..

[@skullkrusher-dx4kg]

Do you guys play on the d pad or the joystick?

[@Ancilez]

D-Pad 100%

[@JohnnyMartinez]

Me gustó mucho este juego de Mortal Kombat

[@franklinbakhuis9162]

Do yall use the joystick or the arrows on the controller?

[@JinisBored]

Arrows for me

[@Arealchillbro]

Only arrows.

[@Eskimofo13]

DPad always

[@jarynlandrum7474]

I simply cannot get the timing on the Darius assist. Between holding back and calling him in I juss can’t get it 😅 imma stick with Stryker and Sareena

[@theusmadden2690]

Call the cameo as soon as reiko is upside down and right after hold back

[@mindxplosion9225]

Hi, how you unlock that stage?

Reiko was totally frickin bada**es awesome! 😅😅😅😅 i so got reiko got slapped in the face by amanda larusso so kicking crap outta me! Just like will smith says "keep your hands, my wife, on your f*cking mouth!".

[@eh4372]

He isn’t that great but I always loose to him because people mainly use him to just zone you to death just so frustrating

[@keloing923]

He has no lows or overhead starters. The more I use him the less I want to

U need to use shang tsung before i get mad😡

[@tyreekrichards4877]

First view 🎉🎉🎉

[@kell9629]

I despise Mortal Kombat for the fact that the moves aren't "Back forward" because you first need to do stand. So instead of a simple 46 input that you can also hold at the 4 like any other one. or a 236 input you can hold crouching before you do. It's FORCED to be a 546 because Netherrealm despise good game design.

[@FoolishNerve]

I don’t think you’re the best person to do guides.. lol you’re decent but not ‘make a guide’ worthy

[@ShArp_MK]

What's your problem? This is a decent guide...

[@jyggalag9838]

Rewind made the best guide for Reiko (also the best reiko player in the world), but Super's guide is good as well.
