Kombo Advice

I'm new to MK9. I just picked up MK9KE today. I just want advice on combos.

1. I noticed that in the move list for each character, there are combos listed with names. It seems these are built in combos that don't rely purely on normal moves and special moves. Am I right?

2. I guess more complex combos are combinations of these "built-in" combos with special moves and normal moves as well as juggling. Am I right on that?

Finally, I live in the Mideast and my DSL line is 512 (half a mega). Is that fast enough to play online or will I experience too much lag?

Yes you got the combo's right. Its a mixture of normals and specials to capitalize on damage. There are tons of combos and combo threads on this site. As for your internet, not my department, someone will awnser it soon. And Welcome!!!

Those "built in combos" are, in a sense, your normals. By cancelling those combos early into a special you can continue acombo for more damage. Usually the formula is normal x special x normal x special. Either the normal or the special has to launch and bring the opponent off the ground to continue the juggle.

And you will have lag no matter what online, because MK servers and netcode were all shot to hell. But 512 mg dl is smaller than normal so you would probably have more problems than the next guy.
