Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice.

[iiicarus]

I have always wanted to get into competitive mortal kombat but never really knew how to go about it. I figure with the new game coming out it is a perfect opportunity to start. Is there a in depth guide explaining competitive strategies? What characters should I use? Are some characters just plain better than others ? I'm just not sure where to start.

Firstly I would say find a character you like or identify with. If you don't have one then play around with the cast until you find one or two that you would like to use as mains. Once you get your character/s learn their movement, ranges/properties of their normal attacks and specials. From there you can go around the forums regarding your character/s and learn combos.

To answer your other question there are characters that will end up being better than others but right now it's too early to tell who is better than who for definite.
