If you're coming from killer instinct onto MKX. You're gonna have a hard time to adjust. Plus you should go to the Main Thread or combo thread for something. If you're using Jax, watch Tyrant tournament videos. If you're playing his daughter, go to Sajam on YouTube. He has a tutorial

 

[dagodcrixus]

yeah i watched tyrant videos alot after the fatal 8. and im just not used to the timing to getting it all down normally i got auto doubls to giv eme few seconds to do the linker but on this you gotta be raid and accurate having hard ime getting dash punch downard down

only thing to fix that is to practice and get used to this style of combo system.

 

[dagodcrixus]

yeah. but my thing is i can do xx and link it into downward dash but his other combos im not sure which can be cnacled into a special i just learned back 3 - 4 into flying knee

juggling on this is way different then ki guess ima just have to hunker down and practice i just wish i knew what could link into what with out having to try the same combo over and over to never find if it can be linked into a special i'e only used wrestler with jax too

 

[dagodcrixus]

Hi @dagodcrixus, you simply may need to tap the motion or do the motion outside of holding it. Once you do the input for the special, you have to make sure not to continue holding the stick down to another direction.

Here is a video that was made that explains this:

 

[dagodcrixus]

i just watched that i might of forgot to say im using a fight stick so doing this back forward down is crazy hard. i can do it but on constant. i keep doing quater motions from right to down

 

[Chrishaspads]

A easy mix up is after f21 db2, you are in range to do a d4 overhead dash.

 

[dagodcrixus]

well im staring to do back 3 4 dash punch

 

[HDTran]

Are you tapping the directions? You don't actually have to do diagonals unless you have the alternate input method on. You also don't need to charge anything, so 34 > bf2 should just be done as is.

i can do the energy wave part but im haiving had ime do d4 dash punch after it. this is crazy as hell. my joystick going to die on my madcatz te2

i'm getting the back 3 4 bf2 down but its the bf2d that im having issues with and when i can get it i can't get the juggle right so i can do gotcha or anything really. im having had time mastering juggling to i wish i could just restart with them in the air then me having to do 3 b2

i usually play on stick but i dont have one for xboxone so imagine how my thumbs feel but you'll get used to it, its not hard.

 

[dagodcrixus]

to me it is. if i had a visual like a youtube video i could watch it few times and learn what there doing or have better idea i loved ki cuz people broke down characters in tutorials i hope mk becomes like that i mean i can watch a 20 hit combo but i have no idea buttons ther ehitting

 

[dagodcrixus]

yeah i dont think ill ever get that midscreen combo down. i think i might have to move on from jax

More popular characters are already getting these kinds on guides I think. Game is still fresh you can't expect all-in-one definitive guides less than a week in. I'm struggling with Jax also but anything else I try seems even more crazy. I can do the basic combos and string two together but I understand that it will take time.

I also understand that whoever does these 40+% combos is not playing their first fighting game.

 

[dagodcrixus]

yeah i feel like i've gotten sllighty better with him but i dont see my self ever getting the juggling down any tips how i can just have them fall from the air in juggle state and work on it when i do the downward dash i have hard time doing the juggle and getting a gotcha or anything really

 

[ToXic84]

yeah i dont think ill ever get that midscreen combo down. i think i might have to move on from jax

You don't think any of the other characters have difficult combos? You're going to have to sit down and practice one way or another, switching won't help in the long run.

Bro your in every Jax thread complaining, spend more time in the lab and less on the forums and you'll be there in no time best advice anyone can give you. I played injustice, KI, MK9 a bit and now this game and ill say this combo system is closest to injustice than any of them with some mk9 flavor and KI combo system is completely different and much more lenient on the inputs time restrict wise. Find combos find the inputs and practice the timings you'll get it eventually just don't get frustrated the games only been out a couple days.

 

[dagodcrixus]

^ i dont even know what buttons your pressing and when you guys type up this 1234 bs im even mroe clueless the combos got name use those lol

 

[dagodcrixus]

i spent 8 hours in the lab and i still can't do any of the combos posted here NOT EVEN THE FROWARD 2 1 ENERGY WAVE D4 WHAT EVER IT IS LOL

@BigFred1371

PS4:
Square = 1
Triangle = 2
X = 3
O = 4

XBOX:
X = 1
Y = 2
A = 3
B = 4

These are reminiscent from arcade games that literally just had buttons on them, and the controls remain universal cross platform.

Often there will be a d/b/u/f in front of it, meaning down, back, up, forward (directional input for this). For example, Sonya's Leg grab is back forward O (on PS4) or back forward B (on XBOX). So we have a universal language of db4 to express this instead.

 

[dagodcrixus]

im on xbox and i understand what you mean by 12 but like there theres / after some nd when i try that combo nothing happens. i dont know how to run cancel or do anything the fancy juggle stuff what im struggling with and getting the downward dash down let alone ehanched
