MK11 is definitely focusing on the neutral play. It's all about spacing, patience and grounded kombat!

Even though most Mortal Kombat reveal trailers are CGI or pre-rendered, they still lace them with a bunch of things that are in the game...
Except for this Scorpion skin.
Never forget!
i knew about this since week 1, and i'm curious to know if anyone else have experienced something similar to this where "You" or "The opponent" can move BEFORE the round starts.
When people turn their mic on as I play them online, the most common thing they complain about is:
"Walking back"
I've never heard this complaint in any other fighting game
Can anyone explain this mindset to me?
Also, link to the full Rage Quit compilation is in replies

Labbing Is Important pt 5
Kitana players have been playing with house money for about a week, but we are about to end that.
The pressure is fake.
Make her pay!

Labbing is important pt 2
Don't let Smoke players get away with this.
Let's learn how to punish Smoke's enhanced smoke bomb teleport.
You can do this with ANY CHARACRTER.
#MK1
Omni-Man is a lot cooler than I thought he would be.
They did a great job on his animation. I don't think he is an archetype that fits me, but I think they did a great job with him. Good stuff.
#MK1
There are no flawless victories in MK1!
I noticed this and talked about this in gameplay videos, but I never confirmed.
I definitely did not get hit here... yet no flawless victory.
How can they forget that!?!?!
#MK1
Whose man is this!?
🔊The mic rage is real🔊
Also, what exactly can you do in a fighting game to not make your opponent mad besides losing?

This dude got on his mic and I just had enough.
Went Super Saiyan on him.
I was literally just trying new things and was content taking a loss and learning but when he got on the mic, I just couldn't let that fly.

Labbing is important pt 4
Don't let Ashrah get away with this!
Ashrah's Light Ascension move is tricky for most, especially off of her F3.
Learn how to punish it with a full combo.
This can be done with ANY CHARACTER.
#MK1
Labbing is important pt 3
Don't let Mileena players mix you!
Itss important to utilize the Up Block mechanic in this match up.
I also give tips on how to set up training mode to help you practice your reactions.
#MK1
I love Mortal Kombat.. but man, come on
The multiplayer is one of the worst in all of fighting games
No crossplay
No connection filter
No rooms
No practice online
I can see the game winning another category for something but it has a F in this category
Who selects the winner?
My favorite people in Mortal Kombat 1...
When you are playing kasual match and are up 8-0 and the opponent finally gets a win and they teabag you, fatality, and leave right after. They might even call you trash before they leave for the cherry on top lol
#MK1
Never forget that NRS put "crossplay" as a feature to the game on Steam preorders... Then a few days later got rid of it and didn't say anything about it until people started asking questions.
6 months later we still wont have complete crossplay. This whole thing is scummy.
Mortal Kombat 1 desync has been a major problem and we are about to hit a month of the issue not being fixed. Unacceptable.
As a mega MK fan, I have played the game MUCH less because of this and I imagine less dedicated MK fans have left altogether. This launch has been terrible
Why does NRS make really unsafe moves a chore to punish?
Some moves low profile on recovery like the one in the video.
Fatal blows have the wonkiest block stun and push back.
Are these design choices? Oversights? I just don't get how the same problems persist game after game.
Labbing is important pt 7
Sindels love to throw out their F1 in neutral. On the surface it seems difficult to punish and like she has options..
She doesn't.
Don't let Sindel players recklessly throw this out in neutral.
#MK1
Labbing Is Important pt 6
Geras's F12 1+3 string has multiple weaknesses.
In this video I cover 3 ways to give Geras headaches when he goes into this string.
#MK1
NetherRealm is now focusing on its next project and after more than two years of supporting Mortal Kombat 11, DLC for the game, including characters, has come to an end.
Let's cover how to get perfect DPs during combos in Street Fighter 6.
In the video I also go over how to DP from a crouched position and how to DP crossups.
I also cover some common input errors and how to fix them.

Let's go over how to punish Sheeva's unblockable stomp. There are a multiple things you can do in order to make this move VERY risky.
#MK11Aftermath
Full video and details:
We are working on additional online features for MK1. Can't announce any dates/specifics at the moment. Which feature would you like to see the most/first?
I can't imagine SF6 losing. Its better in almost every way. MK1 is incomplete, has had bugs and issues. They focus on creating price gouging DLC rather than adding previous staples back into the game that have been omitted. No connection filter or crossplay.
Step it up NRS.
Great MK1 matches tonight!
The first Spotlight for Mortal Kombat 1 is in the books.
Thanks to everyone who watched and to those who played.
I'll leave you with this gem from tonight's stream.
#MK1
MK1 servers are down and I no longer have Shang or Havik... again.
I resolved this last time the servers were down by rebooting the game. No such luck this time.
No servers, no characters.
Why is it like this?
@MortalKombat
#MK1
This is a major issue.
Labbing is important pt 8
The first offensive tip in the series.
We look at Smoke and discuss how to get his cancels to come out perfectly every time.
Don't mash the cancel! Try this out and see if it works for you.
#MK1
Labbing is important.
F34 Raiden string is annoying. The first hit is a high so you can duck it, but in many instances you will be holding block.
It seemed D1 recovery was too long to juggle but a B2 follow up covers the ground needed.
Punish Raiden for this.
#MK1_Liu
#MK1
I see newer players complaining about Sub-Zero's ice klone.
Its active for like 1.5 seconds
I remember it being active 4 seconds and having to block 5050s behind it.
And if you guessed right he could cancel his string and literally throw the klone at your face and be plus lol
🔊 ON
"Play to lose" apparently lol
This is the second KOTH I have played in and both times people get on the mic and cry.
He says to play ranked but people cry there too. People just want easy wins. It doesn't matter.
You can't make everyone happy so just play to win.
#MK1
Is competitive MK worth it when you can play Street Fighter 6 for significantly more?
Or just another genre in general and get significantly more?
Is this worth your time?
MK sells so many copies .. yet their prize pool is one of the worst. Why?
Lots of questions...
#MK1
@m3kissme
That's how fighting games work though. Footsies is moving in n out of your opponent's range to get them to whiff and punish them. I use the same combo because it is optimized for the highest damage. Should someone use unoptimized combos to appease their opponent's feelings?
In Mortal Kombat 1 online..
I notice that close to 100% of the time when someone has a trash connection their messages and profile are completely blocked. You can't even send them a message.
This leads me to believe that their connection is this way on purpose.
#MK1
People talk about buffing kameos but I don't think that will make the game better.
Kameos need to compliment the character, not make the character.
Buff characters, nerf kameos. That's the only way you will see real variety in the game.
#MK1
I thought this "not wanting to lab" thing was a one off... But as I read more on Twitter, this is actually a somewhat popular mindset.
People think the game should he tailored to them and they don't want to work or learn anything. This is actually sad man.
#MK1
This game isn't ready for a Pro Tour. Its sad honestly.
On a major positive note, its good that we have players in the community that find these things and share them so that they can get fixed.
Its appreciated.
You haven't played peak MK1 until you play a laggy, wifi Smoke who still gets all their cancels down like its 30ms but its actually 200 and bouncing.
#MK1
Labbing is important pt 10
Let's look at Sindel's mb Projectile into Float. You have different options from various heights.
#mk1
This video utilizes Liu Kang but maybe you have similar options with your character.
Its sad that MK11 has such an amazing netcode but refuses to put in a search filter which inevitably leads to one of the worst online experiences. You put all this time, money and energy into this netcode yet you ruin it as you force people to play basically anyone.Wasted efforts
Let's cover the fastest way to execute Drive Rush.
I also cover an EASY way to drive rush after launching the opponent.
This will help you land big combos for big damage.
#SF6
More Videos:
Baraka with Cyrax Kameo is extremely popular and you need to know how to defend yourself against them to compete.
The chip damage is insane.
#MK1
In this video I discuss your options in dealing with this combination.
⬇️ Video in replies ⬇️
Always online games are trash.
I opened Mortal Kombat 1 and servers are down. I had no kameos. I wanted to lab Shang and Lao.
I restarted the game and now I have the kameos and no Shang.
Please fix this. The servers will not always be active.

@noobde
In Mortal Kombat 1, I have been having an issue canceling some strings into special for what seems to be no reason.
I have broken this down frame by frame in practice mode.
Here is what I am seeing.
Part 2 is in the replies and it goes over what I suspect it may be.
#MK1
The input lag online in MK1 is absolutely crazy. Its gotta be the most on an MK game since MK9 or pre rollback MKX.
Has anyone measured it? Its definitely worse than MK11.
Don't get me wrong.. I use Cyrax.
I'm a firm believer in using what is the strongest and what suits you best.
I gotta be honest tho... poke/string into specials into Cyrax all match is pretty boring. Not sure how they can change it but this meta is kinda blah right now.
#MK1
Yo
@noobde
thinks he's slick bringing up the list of the best MK9 players. He's like Kronika out here trying to bring the best of the Old Skool vs New Skool. MK11 Story brought to life in the competitive scene.
#MK11
I dig it.
As I level up in rank in Mortal Kombat 1 the connections get worse and I see MORE wifi.
When I reach Master level+ in SF6, I see more wired connections.
Why do you think this is so different between the two games?
NRS should give us the rationale for changing ranked from FT3 to FT2.
I didn't see people calling for it outside of a few unhinged posts.
I would like to hear what went into the decision making process, especially when tournaments are FT3
Communication would go a long way
