You do such a great job on your vids man. I watch other content and it makes me want to uninstall the game. I watch yours and it inspires me to put in work and go have fun with it. Not just for MK1, but that’s been the case for all the fighting games you’ve inspired me to play. I aim to be a low to mid tier player at best and just have fun with a few wins along the way. Your content does that, while others almost convince me I better quit now. Thanks for making it fun and reachable. Means a lot.

It’s a bit hard on the timing ya, MK1 new mechanics can be a bit hard on the timing

[@GreekGod88]

@@onestep its after 3,3 you do chain then immediately 3 again will result in triple kick into chain. Its a bit stupid the game doesn’t explain that. I believe Tekken is way more easier combo wise because you don’t have to figure out such weird things.

When I I do the 3 kicks and then try to use my rope it doesn’t let me throw my rope it makes me wait for the guy to hit the ground. It even shows me clicking the correct buttons in practice mode

[@onestep]

the timing can be a bit weird, you have to do the input right after the 3 kicks, essentially youre doing the input while the opponent is in the combo/falling.

[@drayden99]

Yeah hit the 3 kicks then immediately do the input for rope, like you’re dialling a phone instead of looking for the timing visually

Make sure you have telease check on

[@GreekGod88]

I just found out how. Try inputting 3,3, bf1,3 It will work everytime

[@jondavidsenn5012]

Don’t spam the kick. Press it 3 times and then it doesn’t matter when you input the hook afterwards. 3 3 3 BF1 as fast as you want, just don’t press 3 more than once

Not only is his teleport unsafe, but if you attempt to air teleport them while they are on ground, it won't hit and your opponent does not need to block leaving you open for a complete combo. He only has 1 overhead which is slow. The only thing good about him is that he doesn't need meter to stun you with spear allowing you to extend your weak combo. You need at least two meters to get close to a 35% combo, which is insane.
