To do instant airs in MKX is different from what you can do in MK9. You need to press up, back, forward, input (can't remember what it is lol) really quickly. You need to make sure you're fast but precise and it will take some practice. Especially since your still new to hitbox lol.
Do the input slow at first and then gradually get faster with that input motion and remember how that feels. The more consistently you do them the fast you should go until you get that instant air. Also remember that Liu's iA fireball hits the way it does because of hit advantage so iA fireball will come out slower because you're not hitting him. Also having input shortcuts help too.
Still trying to find a video of a top sf player using a hitbox.
Hi mr hazeIII, just got a hitbox today, I see you got one last year at this time, did you adapt to it, if so can you give me any advise, do you think anyone can learn to use it efficently, iam an older player so I do not have the reflexes I did 30 years ago in my twenties, any help/advise would be very much appreciated, than you for you time, Scott r
Hi, I am in my early fifties, just got a hitbox, my reflexes are not what they use to be, but I am still pretty speedy, do you think a person of my age, and also just learning mkx, should I stay with a d pad, or do you advise me to take up the hitbox, which would be best for me, thanks for your time scott r
Nuckledu uses a PS4 pad which is widely considered to be an awful pad. Stick is not the best,neither is a hitbox. It's just preference man..
Hey. Ive been playing with a hitbox for a couple months now. What has helped me tremendously with learning the inputs cleanly and developing muscle memory, is i turn on the input data to show on screen, then completely ignoring what my character is doing and just watching the inputs, i slowly go through the proper sequences, speeding up as i grow comfortable with them. Hope that helps
Thanks, have you been playing the mortal kombat series for a long time, or or you completely new
If you already own the hitbox, then definitely stick it out; it will be worth it in the long run. It's a little rough at first, but no other controller matches the precision of the hitbox. It's just a damn fine controller. It helps to think of the "up" button as the "jump" button, so your brain doesn't get twisted since the button is the lowest one. Also make sure to use your right thumb for jump, and your left index middle and ring for right/down/left.
That's true, there are many good players that use pad.
People play with what's comfortable for them. I'm sure if top players liked stick they would use it over a pad. Imo hitbox is the best way to play any fighter period. Just like there are ppl who dominate with a pad some people dominate with a stick. Doesn't make you a better player or anything it just makes life much easier
I am NO seasoned fgc player by any stretch. I picked up the game when it first came out, and was getting ok on a pad.. but life happens and i stopped playing. But now re motivated to learn fighting games i built my hitbox and have been trying to get better. But i am a novice for sure.
I am a complete novice, would you consider practicing together online
pics?

Why do people wanna suffer just to learn how to play with a different thing? Doesn't make sense at all to me. Why not stay with pad if you are confortable with it?
In all fairness, one could say the same thing about taking up fighting games.
people like to try new things.
