Video The Science of MKX - Video Series from Mustard & Ketchup

[PND_Ketchup]

Hey guys! Mustard and I have decided to start a new series of videos for MKX, streamlined and short tutorials for every individual aspect of the game at a high level.

of course these videos will be more aimed towards the casual player looking to get better, but I thought I'd make a thread for all these videos to go in, similar to our old Casual to Competitive series we did in ESL Season 1.

Our first video covers the basics of understanding Frame Data. Check it out below!

You guys are great. Keep up the content the community needs it !

nice project, teching casuals is always fun, the best part is when you progress in them, and the invredible satisfaction when they get far on a tournament or just beat someone more level headed than them, its awesome.

You guys have a very clean english and can explain everything clearly, just as Tom's videos are, i can understand perfectly what you and mustard says, just as i can hear Tom when he is explaining any mechanics, you guys have the teacher trait, keep up the good work.

 

[RyuKazuya]

this is an amazing tutorial. It explains everything a newcommer needs to know about frames. Good job guys

 

[Solignac]

Looking forward to seeing how you guys breakdown the more complicated aspects of frame data in the future, this is great

 

[WATCHD0G]

It's people like you guys that help this community grow......your hard work is greatly appreciated

At this point, it appears that the three leading distinguished professors in AMKS (Advanced Mortal Kombat Studies) are Professor Ketchup, Professor Mustard, and Professor Reo. Imagine taking that class in college, would be ultra legendary.

Mustard should come out on more videos. He rarely participates :/ Looking forward to your guys' stuff though, will you guys go into the psychological aspect of MKX? Such as staggering strings, delaying attacks, purposely whiffing a throw or command grab knowing one will still be plus enough to utilize a fast attck, beginning a string that leads to an overhead and stopping mid string to go in for a low (like Liu's Standing 1, stop, then start with F44), ending a string with a minus attack then immediately armoring for their counter poke, stuff like that?

Final Exam: First to ten against one of them

Reo is godlike, if he did tutorials etc they would be incredible.

Can you tell my why for example Start Up Frames differ on moves that start with the same buttons? Kano's 1,1 has 8 Start Up and 1,1,2 has 14 Start Up, what does that mean?

 

[JerzeyReign]

Me love you long time! This is seriously needed for MK scrubs like myself.

 

[JerzeyReign]

Something I'd like to see that goes with frame data is cancel advantage. Next episode perhaps?

 

[dennycascade]

But will it stop online kotal khans from pressing d4 after every blocked f2 as if it were a true blockstring?

I wouldn't say being involved with probably about 70% of the overall content is rarely lol.

 

[Vigilante24]

This reminds me of the Science of Superman videos haha. I like!

I read in another thread its for the next input or something.

So 1,1 the 8 refers to the second 1. 1,1,2, 14 refers to the 2. Could be wrong, would like insight on this to.

it is the start up of the next move, not sure what 1 start up is, but it will take 8 frames after the first 1 for the second to come out, then 14 frames for the 2 after the second 1.

I believe...

 

[BornThroughAshes]

Awesome video guys! Great content as usual

 

[Under_The_Mayo]

You'll be hearing from my lawyers.

(love you, Ketchup)

I've never doubted you've had a hand in the content, it just seems like Ketchup is the one who's usually narrating.

Unrelated question for you. Way back when you did a ranked set with Lackey Ferra/Torr, have you tried out Ruthless since the last patch? PnG cancels made a huge difference.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

The problem is that there's just too many errors in the in-game frame data to fully trust it. You should have mentioned also how to test it yourself.

This so fucking much!!! Just to give you guys the info on how to test. Set ai to always block and movement to jump. After whatever you are testing hold jump, and you can see how much advantage they have by how much sooner they jump before you.
