Welcome! hopefully you grow to love this community as much as I have!

reset means ending a combo, and starting a new one. generally the second combo that is started is inescapable, but there are a few that are mixup related.

50/50 - when your opponent has to guess whether your going to hit them overhead or with a low.

Fuzzy guard - when you block high n low consecutively, and your character does not stand up/duck and just blocks the attack. usually done by releasing down/up

MK uses a number system to communicate inputs. for example. F4 would be Forward + B or circle button depending on the system you are on. 1 = X,square 2 = Y,Triangle 3 = A,X 4 = b, Circle these are default settings, it will change depending, but I dont know which is LP,HP w/e..ill let someone else handle that lol

Hope this helps!

Yeah man that helped a lot thanks for that! I'm sure i will grow to love it here since other forums i've asked for help in generally hate noobs lol, anyway im only now getting into MK properly because i got really into MK3 but i was quite young when that came out, i liked the 3D ones on the PS2 to an extent... but never enough to play them for more than 10 mins lol, however I have had MK9 for a few months and i find it to a be a mind blowingly good game and i really wanna be able to compete online at a good standard.. hence trying to study stuff on here
