the f*cking timing for combos

[Shinrok]

either i am too old for this kind of game (i am 30)
or the time to do the combos properly is too short
either way i suck at the combo stuff the tutorial asks of me

[Spaceturd64]

just keep training and you'll get it

These guys are correct, doesnt take away from just how trash this game is.

Sorry to say, but if you don't like MK1 than just leave. You are posting literally in every topic how bad Mortal Kombat 1 is.

The OP is having issue's with the combo's and we try to help him. Your subjective opinion about MK1 doesn't add anything to the topic, especially that you are posting literally the same thing in every topic.

We get you, we heard you and it's time for you to let it rest. This game isn't for you, you don't like it. It's your subjective opinion and I respect that. But please we don't need to hear it in every topic. Just move on and put your time and effort in games you really like.

1 topic of your opinion is enough.

Ill do what i want, thank you,

Sure but you have to ask yourself the question "Is it really worth it." Instead of putting time and effort in things you like, you are just repeating yourself in many topics and soon or later people won't even read what you post anymore or even don't care about your opinion.

What are you trying to achieve? To convince people? Which will not happen. Especially with a "I'll do what I want" while people need to listen to you.

What other reason do you have to post "how bad" Mortal Kombat 1 is in every topic.

Shall we go back on-topic now? I would rather put time and effort to OP and give him much as possible advice how to do better combo's.

Pick a character with simpler combos and moves like Baraka which only require a bit of timing to string some together to do like 200 to 300 damage.

It's just about finding the right character/s for you. So far out of the characters i tried, Baraka, Nitara, Kenshi and Reptile have been the 4 that kinda click with me.

I wouldn't say combos are super easy as people tend to over exaggerate in here, someone said it's dial combos and win, man i wish it was, there's still specific moments when you have to input your combos at the right time, cause some combos and strings just miserably fail or whiff if you just mindlessly input the combo without learning the nuance when to do it/when to wait and of course all depends on the characters, reason why i mentioned baraka is cause he's among the simpler ones to learn and play.

Read who?

Back in topic: there are controls and combo settings in the options, you may want to give a look at that also.
I think op should also take it easy, it's not a job and no one runs after you, I usually do my singleplayer stuff trying to learn a single combo till it becomes natural to me, then I go to the next, when I learn enough of them I try to concatenate them all in coherent ways.
I do get bored trying stuff in training mode, unlocking things makes it more fun than looking at a training dummy.

Well, I’m used to old 2D style Capcom games so the inputs were much faster to respond in making combos. I’m not much a fan of long combo inputs. It’s just….it’s boring to me, yet I’m cool seeing other ppl doing it.

[LeftyPlays]

Game works on a "Dial-a-Combo" system. You input the full string at once then let it play out as opposed to other games where you do the combo as the hits happen. Think of it more like a call and response rather than active synced inputs

[TopShotta]

the comments mentioning practice mode are pretty funny. There is not even the move/combo list to pin available. for a beginner this is like the most important thing in the game besides practicing.

[Shoah Kahn]

If you've just come from SF6, you've likely lost a lot of timing and motor skill, due to that game's infamously Wiisy combo system / lengthy hit-stuns; to say nothing of the poor gameplay habits which such a jab spam centric fighting game pollutes players with.

So, if that is the case, it's time to unlearn SF6. Otherwise, it's likely that they made the timing in MK1 more stringent in order to balance the combo-happy nature of the game.

[Kikuri Simp]

If you're having trouble with Kombos in the game. Pause the game, go to Kontrols, and turn off Release Check. It'll feel more like a traditional fighter when you input combos and cancel into special moves.

[Deafz]

Be sure to disable 'Release check' in options. That ♥♥♥♥ is on by default and messus up combo's big time.

[FromChaosTheory]

I am also 30 and Nether Realm games are the easiest games to combo in. You just need to practice and get experience.

Combo timing in this game child's play compared to SF. Just spend more time in practice mode, you will learn.

Depends on what you're used to. Combos aren't an issue in SF or Tekken for me, but this game....♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Mechanically they are probably less complex, but my muscle memory is just too geared towards precise timing.

I'm like hunting for those 2-3 frames or whatever that I can cancel out of, when I'd probably just be better off dialing it in.

[All★Star Apologist]

well being old doesn't mean much considering there are people much old than you playing these games competitively,but still keep practicing
