Block it and get good. If they are spamming then you should know they are not good. Tired of people complaining like there is no solution. Why cant u block and counter with something fast and devastating

Just enjoy the nauseating repetition, OP. NRS games have always been spamatozoa orgies -- nothing has changed on this front, and nothing ever will.

People are just complaining. so you prefer going to mortal kombat xl and getting hit by around 53 percent combo twice and die?

if you block 2 hits you will be free to attack.!

YES!... Because I was the Jason Vorhees doing those comboes! 😎

Basically you wanna get familiar with doing D1 and throw or special cancel. Special cancels can be awkward to do (unless say, Scorpion's teleport) so throw will be easier.

While some characters can punish some strings on block with a string of their own, most of the time that situation is not gonna arise. That's where the D1 comes in.

Really being defensive with blocking in this can be an iffy, touchy thing...and that's before the various 50/50 situations that can happen on block.

If D1 is not working, if possible you will want to create space somehow. If one has to take the hits then take them and take whatever space you end up with. If they crowd you on wakeup, try to use one of the universal wakeup moves.

Where I can get more info on this d1 thing? I don't understand what it is. Is it some kind of competitive language? Can it be simplier

Here's a key:

D3 is also a move to keep in mind, but D1 tends to be the go-to.

On Xbox controls it's Down X.
