I play rank matches, and every now and then I find a player at my level, then I find some players that are definitely above my level, and other times I find players below my level, which makes it all very engaging.
However KOH is another story. In the same group there may be players below my level, others at my level, and others definitely above my level, but since the ones above my level are the ones that stay at the top, I never get a chance to fight anyone at my level or below, and it is basically just lose, after lose, after lose.
That KOH 1,000 points goal looks very out of reach to me as a consequence, and I was wondering if there is some advice that could help me get better.
I have been playing MK since MKII. At UMK3 and MK Trilogy I was definitely one of the best, which I was able to prove to my self when the MK Arcade Collection came out with online versus.
However I'm pretty much average on every other MK game including MKX. I have been trying to learn some combos, but I'm not very good at cancelling, I just can't do it with consistency. Normal combos I have no problem with, but once you get into cancelling territory, the extra speed required to link various normal combos throws my tempo off every now and then.
In an online fight you can't have these luxuries, you have to be always consistent, and I honestly don't know if I could ever accomplish that consistency. As an adult time is not something I have in abundance, and it makes it a lot harder.
I also noticed my counter attack game is very weak too, I can get easily pushed into the corner, and then I find myself without a way out. I can use a couple bars to give myself a break, but soon I find myself in the same situation.
If I get a chance to connect a combo, I usually run out of ideas how to keep it going, and doing the same thing doesn't work. Those are some of the most common weaknesses I can find in my game.
I like to play as Sub-Zero, Cyber Smoke, and Bo Rai Cho. I would love to be good with Shinnok and Quan Chi, but I can't figure out how to take advantage of their move sets, and I only do good with them against the AI, but it is the KOH 1,000 points what I'm really after right now.
Once I do that, I can just relax, and have fun with the ranked matches mode, but as of right now, it doesn't look like I will be able to manage getting there. Any advice is definitely welcomed.
