Ex Moves doesnt work

[Darkgamer]

Is it only me because on my Xbox controler the rt for EX moves dont work

[Branchad]

same here. Rt button is not working properly with ex moves. you have to press button and rt at the exact same frame. But rt is working when it reaches half way. so if you want the ex move you need to press rt 1-2 frames early than button. idk why did they do this. Ihope they will fix this.

I have tried both an official ps4 dualshock and generic controllers with the same result. The ex moves requires extremely precise timing that I can barely do in practice. Something is off. It can't be this difficult to do ex moves.

yeah something is off.

When I played the game for the first time, I went to practice without looking at move list to see which button was for Ex moves. I tried all 4 shoulder buttons and none of them worked. But when I checked the move list and saw it was R2/RT, after a couple times, I was able to get it down consistently. I do think there's an issue with timings though. I found trying to cancel Scorpion's XXX(AAA) kick combo into the spear very difficult. The window for cancelling is so small and precise.

I too struggle to hit the enhanced moves half the time. I don't know if the controller type has anything to do with it, but I use an Xbox Elite controller.

The timing in this game is either ridiculously strict, or non-responsive. No matter which of those it is, we're in for a bad time. If it's both, I'm crying.

I've only been able to use it accidentally and not on purpose.

Is this happening only on PC or consoles too?

No idea tbh. I got it on PC and am using a PS4 controller, so it shouldn't be that bad. I could try a different one.

Idk, I played all recent MK games and the timing here feels no different then it did in the past. Maybe because this game is overall faster then MK11, you have kameos, and you have air combat to wrap your head around, it makes inputs feel stricter, but they are really not.

I mean if MK11 was as fast as MK1 yet had the same timing for specials/EX moves I'm sure it would be causing the same problem as you describe now.

I personally think people need to mess with the input settings in the options, to feel whats best for them, and then just practice and get use to the timing of things. People expect things to come to them without working for it, and imo if I can do it (a casual FG player ) then anyone who puts their mind to it can as well.

I think I know the issue. When I try the ex moves with an optical keyboard with very high DPI the ex moves come out easily almost every time. But when I do it with a wireless bluetooth controller it doesn't come out.

I never had this issue with MK11 or X and I used the same controllers as before. Even with release check off, I think this game is listening for ex inputs in an extremely small window. So small only usb wired device with high frequency can produce inputs that fast.

The input timing for EX moves in this game are super tight and have to be extremely precise.. the attack button + block are to be pressed together which doesnt always work at times... the registering of the presses is very inconsistent.

It was a real pain trying to do some of the combo challenges that required EX moves cos I was pulling off the non EX move instead like 99% of the time.

They might get to whatever the issue is on the day 1 patch, assuming there will be one.

Some of the moves like Li mei's fireball can come out with the controller. Still not easy, but you can do it. Her moves come out much easier than Ashrah's ex moves, which requires nearly impossible timing.

I’m having the same issue. Must be frame perfect. Hopefully they patch this. Does anyone know if it’s the same on console?
