Meter Burn Troubles

[Clampa_]

Hey All, just started playing MKX today and so far I'm really impressed, however I seem to have a problem with enhancing my special moves with meter. I've tried everything from just mashing R2 to trying to input it once directly after the special input, however I just can't seem to even get one meter burn, am I missing something obvious here?

The input depends on the move. Some are MBed after a hit, in a confirmation, others the MB button is hit at the same time as the special move input.

The window for ex'ing your specials seems to be super low, but then again this is the first Mortal Kombat game i've taken seriously. It seems like you have to enhance is right as you're done with the special move input.

Hit R2 at the same time as the input, not after.

So DB2 would be DB 2+R2

I think I've meter-burned my throw at least 50 times by accident today...

Ok, I will try this and see if I find success after I get outta class.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

You can both ENhance by pressing Block at the same time as the Special, or Meter Burn it by pressing block after the move hascome out.

Both features are move-dependant even variation dependant

I'm an experienced fighting game player and I thought I was the only one having trouble with this. Some moves do have different meter burning properties, such as Shinnok's ground fireballs. You meter burn those after they connect for a pop up juggle.
