Mortal Kombat X was one of the main event games at the recently concluded Midwest Championships 2015, and it provided quite a top eight. In an amazing show of dominance, Yomi Gaming occupied nearly every final slot, with Pig of the Hut, DJT, Slayer, ForeverKing, MIT, Michaelangelo, and Glass Sword taking seven of the eight available, leaving only cR|WoundCowboy to face them alone.

Generally speaking, the combo system in Mortal Kombat X isn’t all that tough to get used to. Netting massive damage off every connected hit can, of course, take a little practice, but a great number of the combos we see mid-match aren’t all that complicated compared to what we may run into in other titles.

There are a few characters, like Jax and D’Vorah, who get a good deal of their big damage through run-canceling fireballs. This is far from a foreign concept in other recent fighters (looking at you, Street Fighter x Tekken), but it does add a degree of execution that you won’t find elsewhere in the game.

With this in mind, Sajam put together a brief breakdown of the mechanic to give players a better idea of how to go about performing those pesky Wasp Grenade cancels.
