Sit in practice mode for days, do not leave practice mode ever.

Go on youtube look up some combos for the character you want.

practice them untill your fingers bleed.

Mastering 1 character usually takes months in most fighting games.

[soul like that be capable of]

go to practice mode pick the one hero you like and then check their move list. do story 1st to get basics, do the tutorial few times to get to know basics. 1st thing imo learn how to block attacks that will help you alot. i am new too and learning . game not easy remember people play it for 20 years haha

You'll learn from losing, that's the most important lesson.

But honestly, it's all about understanding your resources and the moves of your character. Learn their pokes (long range), if they hit low, mid or high... even overhead. If you don't know what you can do when knocked down, just hold block. MK has its own combo system with strings so the inputs are "dial" like a phone outside of Special Moves which can be used to cancel.

For example, you can do some punches or kicks and cancel into a character's Special Move. Learn what they do, build from that.

But the truth is that there's no quick learning. Just take your time. The Training Mode is there for a reason in ANY fighting game that is remotely interested at teaching something.

In that case, time for the next advice: STICK with this character if you like it. You'll learn the systems "quicker" by sticking to one. Yes, there will be fighters easier to deal with as Baraka, but also some "counters" so it'll be up to you find which options will work.

There is a tutuorial mode that teaches you the game under practice. You can also practice some combos that the teach you for each character in that same menu.
