He is one of my main characters, I didn't know how to start off with him,but you fixed that my guy, 😂 Time to put the new skills to the test lol thanks again bro, and keep dropping videos 👍🏽

[@onestep]

@@almightyddadogwilson1743 I appreciate the support my dude! Glad they helped!

[@shadowstyle4768]

There actually is a way to determine where you are with the counter. The first time you do it, it just shows the hour glass The second time you do it, a clock appears behind it And then the third time, a blue-ish aura appears around it Hope this helps

[@onestep]

Oh great addition! Thanks!

[@OneTyphun]

@@onestep bro pin his comment! This is very helpful for beginner Geras players.

[@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e]

Nice. Thanks.

[@1MTW]

Great eyes

[@NaveRellim34]

I've been using Geras a lot and have been getting a lot of wins with him. I still found this video super helpful. Geras is so much fun

[@onestep]

Geras is becoming my second main. He’s such A blast

[@amberleaf4740]

No visual counter is the worst thing ever

[@onestep]

For real 😅

[@KATZ0326]

@amberleaf4740 @onestep there’s a visual counter if you look closely at the clock in the background when you enhance the time stop. Once the hand reached “12:00” then time resumes again. Hope this helps

[@Boogiebandit6]

@@KATZ0326 legend, thank you!

[@StinkySlinky1218]

@@Boogiebandit6 Yeah, but that's not the counter we're talking about. The time stop is one thing. We're talking about the thing where you need to get 3 charges.

[@Boogiebandit6]

@@StinkySlinky1218 that's great mate 👍 Honestly, it's super easy to remember those charges anyway

[@biizarre7930]

Best geras tutorial I have seen on yt so far. You explain the best out of any tutorial I have seen in half the amount of time thank you 🙏

[@onestep]

I really appreciate it😎 I do my best and I’m glad it gets noticed!

[@ParisPK]

As a person who plays Geras a lot in MK1, I wouldn’t recommend as a starting character when learning and picking up the game, he takes a lot of hours of practice to learn him. He is way way more complicated than MK11 Geras but he can do some meaty damage

[@onestep]

Oh ya he can do some crazy stuff in general

[@stealthbastard8837]

You can do significant damage without labbing too much, pick a good kameo and you're good to go.

[@killer77366]

Which character you recommend cause i LOVE grappler characters

Your absolutely killing it with these!!! Helping everyone get a head start on their favorite character and understand the basics of potential opponents!! 🎯🎯🔥🔥🔥🔥 thank you for these they make the game a lot more enjoyable!

[@onestep]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching🔥

[@stoop8396]

a pretty easy combo you can also incorporate for a 353 damage combo is: F2,4,2, exBF1, D2, 1,2,2, grab

[@onestep]

Nice addition!

[@ldean0186]

I’ve been practicing Geras for about two days now… not playing him, practicing him. It takes a while to get his crazy combos and setups but if y’all stick with this character the reward is so worth it

[@onestep]

Ya he’s a freaking blast 🔥

[@MKBanished]

My friends I have just found my main for MK1. He’s not easy to use but he has the sauce.

[@onestep]

He’s got SAUCE

[@danielwiebe2492]

The air combo grabs also do more damage if you throw your opponent out of the corner. Love the vid

[@onestep]

Great tip! Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@calebwilliams8841]

Love your videos dude. You helped me in multiverses now mk1 too 🙏

[@onestep]

Nice guide on Geras Played Geras on MK11 he is a wrestler with time powers,will also play Geras in MK1

[@onestep]

He’s been a blast in MK1!

[@sten9life979]

I can't stress how much I appreciate you and your channel. Geras will be my main btw

[@Lil_lemon_]

BIG TIP: If you do the 1,2,2,1+2 combo, IT WILL ADD A TIMER for down back 3

[@onestep]

Nice tip!

[@TheBombasticFatRat]

He says it in the video

[@Eldon_is_The_Best]

8:53 “…the time you put into him”… I see what you did there ⏳😅

[@onestep]

FINALLY!! First person to see my pun 😂

[@solofade7524]

Want to learn geras since i loved him in mk11.. But dam not being able to pin your moves in practice is a bummer hopefully they add it in a patch. Great vid tho.

[@onestep]

Thanks for watching!🙌

[@Manty414]

You help me master Li Mei, Geras, and Johnny cage! Thank you so much!!

[@onestep]

I got you fam. Keep going! 🔥

[@Manty414]

My friend is a scorpion main, have you found a good counter for that?

[@TheBombasticFatRat]

​@caydenshambeau95 just block high and rush down. His only low attack is unsafe up close, so don't let yourself get caught at midscreen

[@mochiboot6502]

The D2 D2 on time stop has horrific scaling and is a relic from MK11.

[@onestep]

Hahaha right!

Awesome guide!! quick question on the enhanced clone where you said you want to start off with forward 4,4 do you put that input as soon as you enhance back, forward, 4?

[@onestep]

It’s as soon as the clock appears you have like 2 seconds lol

[@Karter.withaK]

Appreciate you!

Good Guide for beginners but could you do one for „Pros“ he is my main and my highstes damage is 499,14 no fatal. There are still 2 moves where i dont know what these are for 😅

[@onestep]

True!

[@war_vador3834]

I'd like to know how do you reset in practice mode Awesome guide btw

[@onestep]

On PlayStation it’s the middle touch pad button, so I think on Xbox it’s “select”?

[@BirdBane]

How are you suppose to stop his fatal blow?

[@onestep]

It’s hard cuz it’s a grab, so you have to try and jump away if possible

[@BirdBane]

@@onestep would ducking also help?

[@onestep]

@@BirdBane mmmmm I’ve actually never tried 🤔

[@akabluebird4197]

I have been trying to do some geras combos which involves doing time stop during the combos and can’t get the ability to activate, is there recommended settings for me to use or what.

[@akabluebird4197]

an example is doing back1-2-back-foward-1 in that combo time stop doesn’t activate, or really any that involves time stop for me

[@onestep]

You have to enhance the BF1 for it to do time stop

[@AskStatic22]

Main for sure

[@onestep]

He’s my second and man is he a blast

[@PhoenixStar3000]

Ok so on that combo where its D2 to D2 do you have to have stay crouching at the end to keep it going?

[@onestep]

No, once the D2 hits, the opponent will go flying once time stop is over and you can dash and continue

[@jasong.5887]

Can someone explain the D,F2,DF2 combos? Is the first D dash in this situation? Like I tried just doing a juggle with F2 into DF2 and it just wiffs.

[@onestep]

D is dash when alone but when with other letters is DOWN as in down forward 2

[@toddobermeyer7052]

Geras is a beast!

[@onestep]

Agreed 😂

His down grab?

[@Manty414]

Yeah for the one that he throws into clock, I’ve been struggling to get that down consistently

[@fresh0bm]

How to do the air grab part of combos, I'm stugling with that. Justarted with MK. :(

[@onestep]

It’s hard to time it right. It honestly just takes time and practice!

[@fresh0bm]

Yes, managed. I was super slow with inputs :)

[@GamingGamer22]

Try to talk slower. I can't tell if your saying " 442" or "forward forward 2"

Sorry! I’ll try and talk slower going forward

[@ryanfaulkner5488]

Does geras have an armored wake up attack?

how do u get that costume for him

[@Iamwrongbut]

Why no kameo combos!?

[@onestep]

Cuz there’s so many kameos, I couldn’t include all of em. It’s best to do a foundational guide for the character as a whole and let players decide what kameo to use depending on play style

How to grab (?) Unknown

Command grab? DF2 or DB2. Normal grab is just the grab button
