Hey guys I'm new here to TYM. Made my account about a week ago, but finally getting the balls to post something on here :p I'm loving this website so much, thank you for inventing it haha. I'm trying to get some what serious in MKX. In MK9 I learned a few things here and there, after getting my ass kicked all over the place, but this time I wanna be the asskicker. Does anyone have any tips on finding the right character? MK9 I played as Ermac only because he was my favourite character, but feel like he wasn't right for me, and getting used to other characters was super hard for me because I was used to just one person. How do you guys find the right characters to play?

First decide what kind of fighting style best suits your play. Mainly its either rush down or zoning and it just depends on what you like best. I play alot of Injustice and found that a Zoning character is what fits my play style best. I also have more fun playing with those type of characters so I went with Synestro and have had a lot of fun with him. If you are the opposite and like rush down go with a character like Bane or Doomsday! Once you choose your character, Id say 2 at the most is good, its all about getting in the lab and practice, practice, practice!

I don't actually play these games
In the five years I've been on this site that's literally the first time someone liked by gif.

Thats why they call this thing bloodsport, kid.
Advice for picking a character: First narrow the field to as many as you think might suit your fancy. Maybe its just cuz you think they are coool or you like their backstory, whatever it may be. Then once you have that field, take each one into practice mode. One by one go through all their normals, strings and specials. Google the bread and butter combos and have a go at them. Your not looking for perfection, just comfort. Try not to rush it, give each string and combo multiple tries. Do this for each character and every time you reach the end of the list, cut a few from it and do the same thing again. Once you narrow to about 3, just alternate between them in whatever game mode you like, be it towers or online. You will find a comfort zone eventually.

Maybe playing through the story mode first will give you some time to try out various characters to help u narrow down your search.

Oh and Welcome to the site!

Welcome! Where are you from? Do you play any of the older MKs or Injustice or KI? What platforms do you play on? Do you keep up with the MKX comics?

I'm from Arizona, I want to move to Oregon, but don't know what that's happening haha. When I was younger my brothers played the older MK's, but I wasn't allowed to play only to watch, but now I really only play MK9. I currently play on the PS4, but I am trying to get a PC that could play MKX. I kinda keep up with the comics, I personally haven't read them, but I basically know what happened in them
