Actually MKX is my first Fighting game ever, unless you count SSBB. I guess you could say I was a casual, but MKX grew on me. I always loved figuring stuff out and MKX was a head-scratcher for me, so I messed around in training mode for the first time, and youtubed "how to play Mortal Kombat X" and found out that combo's were a thing. I practiced the hell out of the combos I found for Takeda and used them in ranked to win more matches. This was all the way back in April when MKX first came out.
Eventually combo's weren't enough and I kept getting beat in ranked, so I had to look for something else, and I guess I found named Takeda's vortex with the Shuriken from a youtuber named Tru3ta1ent. I found out he streamed MKX on Twitch so I made my first account ever and started watching his streams and still do sometimes, but I watched his lab sessions the most, especially with Takeda. It helped me learn so many fighting game mechanics.
After that I heard about an MKX tournament which had me thinking "There's a Tournament?" My curiosity got the best of me and I watched one of the beginning ESL tournaments on youtube again where I saw players like SonicFox and Pig of the Hut. Then I found out most of these ESL players had twitch streams which I followed on Twitch as well, and learned more and more mechanics from.
Eventually I heard about this website (TYM) from Tom Brady's stream and finally decided to check it out. I wish I knew about this earlier, it seems like I can learn more here.
Oh and also, I'm from Texas around the Dallas area.
where are you from? Which consoles/platforms do you play on? Have you played any other NRS games?
