reptile's 8th kombo challenge is terrible.

[TheAshiestAsh]

first, your entire kombo can be invalidated if you dont press right on the dpad for 20 extra damage. then, you need to nearly frame perfectly cancel the dash to hit a follow up, then hit yet another nearly frame perfect move, before perfectly timing your kameo to keep the target up in the air so you can YET AGAIN perfectly time a move, then time your next move to stun the target so you can FINALLY finish the combo with your fatal blow.

i have hit the kombo 5 separate times, all of which were invalidated by the fact my dpad press didnt register.

so if anybody is willing to help, what the hell are the timings for:
-the dash after "right + Y, A"
-canceling the dash with B
-summing your kameo
-hitting the "right + A, Y"

Pay attention to what the combo UI is doing. For me, I was burning the combo right after the first df3 by pressing f too soon going into my jump-in. It was counting my df3 as a df3f and I didn't notice. If you say you have hit it 5 times, maybe you are burning it the same way. Leave some neutral after the first df3. Aside that from that, it's not too difficult.

down forward

3 is low kick

I mean the first acid ball. I was doing fast acid ball and the game wasn't counting it and I wasn't noticing.

The first acid ball is the normal one... the one you need to throw after the kameo juggle is the fast one

In my case, I was doing the fast version for the first one because I was inputting my jump-in too soon. That was screwing up the entire combo being counted.

People use common notations for NRS fighting games.... refer to this to understand better... https://www.mksecrets.net/games/mortal-kombat-1/moves/

The 4 attack buttons are labelled 1 through 4 universally for easier understanding. 1 is FP, 2 is BP, 3 is FK and 4 is BK. As PS and XBOX use different button labels everyone uses numbers so people know what buttons to press.

Ah ok... yeah you cant buffer the jump in move in advance. I had that happen to me as well and I had to stand still till the forceball hit confirmed before jumping in for the air combo.

The part that used to fail for me a lot was that the fast acid ball would throw the opponent further away from me instead of straight up and that would drop the whole combo. I believe its got to do with how much you juggle with the kameo and the timing of the acid ball hitting the airborne opponent. Once I got that correct, it wasnt too hard. It was a fun combo challenge to do though.
