Month: April 2015

Now that everyone has their first weekend of local tournaments and casual Mortal Kombat X gatherings under their belt, it’s time to kick off the second week of the game’s life with a robust collection of combos and technology for a wide array of characters.

Up first, we’ve got a collection of Jacqui Briggs combos from Hurtbox TV. These strings come from all of the fighter’s variants and show just how much damage she’s capable of dishing out in the right situations; 30% meterless is no big deal mid-screen, and, given the right circumstances, she can push out 50% in the corner using her High Tech variant.

And as always, her combos in the middle of the screen look quite stylish thanks to the amount of running that she has to do in order to keep the hits coming.

They also took Kung Jin to the lab for some combos for each of his variants. This video dedicates a lengthy section to the Shaolin archer’s Ancestral and Bowjutsu styles, as they seem to currently be the most combo heavy, but things like that are always subject to change throughout the life of the game.

The folks at Hurtbox TV didn’t stop there; they’ve actually been quite busy producing lengthy combo videos for the whole cast and show no signs of stopping before they’ve exhausted the entire roster. In addition to Jacqui and Kung Jin, they’ve also released videos for Sub-Zero and Reptile. As with all previous entries, these videos cover combos for each variant that these characters bring to the fight.

And as you might expect, the Reptile video highlights plenty of Basilisk options.

Up next, we’ve got two D’Vorah combos that are actually quite similar to one another. The first, from Shoryuken’s own M’Ellis, opens with the F22 string, which hits overhead, and proceeds to spend a single bar to dish out 45% damage in the corner.

The second, from MrOrchazm, trades the fighter’s F22 string for a jump-in attack opener and manages to squeeze an extra six percent out of this situation for a total of 51% damage. Both of these combos do take advantage of the corner to net their high damage output, but the use of only a single bar in each situation speaks highly of the fighter’s ability to crank out damage and still maintain some meter for other situations outside of combos–or, you know, doing a second 50% combo to close out the round.

Nico Montano, who has previously shared some beautiful Goro videos since Mortal Kombat X’s launch, has another collection of combos for the Shokan today. Many of the combos in this video are meterless, so players can get the hang of how to deal damage without reliance on building bar beforehand. The first third of the video also offers combos that work across all variants, so every Goro player can learn something important from checking out this footage.

We’ve seen a surprisingly low amount of technology coming out of Kung Lao so far. Razer’s Carl “Perfect Legend” White gave a great showing with the Shaolin monk at the pre-release Fatal 8 Tournament, but things have remained rather calm on the bladed hat front since then.

Kamikaze651 is looking to change that with this quick collection of combos for the fighter’s Buzzsaw variant, which includes options that manage to make their way just over the 50% mark toward the end of the video.

To wrap things up, we’ve got a few more character breakdowns from SupermanSajam. Today, the tutorials focus on Raiden, D’Vorah, and Mileena. As with previous breakdowns, Sajam covers the characters’ strengths, their best buttons, how to go about playing them, and what sort of things players can expect from these fighters at this point in the game.
