Hello everyone! I bought MKX yesteday because i always have liked MK more than other fighting games for some reason, so i thought that with MKX i would start playing this more competetivly. Any more advanced players wanna give me tips on how to play or how to get started? I'm also having problems picking who to main, because there's like 6 fighters that i really like.

My best advice on "starting out" is just either pick a character by how cool they look or by which characters movement fits your playstyle.

Once you find out who you're most comfortable with then start to learn their combo strings (not full combos) and what they're use is (overhead, low, mid, high) and the cancel frames (if they can be special cancelled which is stopping the string to bring out a special move).

Then start finding small combos and gradually make those combos better. Make anti air combos, whiff combos, mixup combos, reset combos, etc.

FIND SOMEONE TO SPAR WITH or once you're comfortable with this character go into endless tower and see how far you get.

Once you lose go back into lab and make things you felt were weak in the fights better. Go back to endless and try and make it further and further each time.
