The game mechanics of Mortal Kombat X are deeper than previous installments from the 90s. Combos, super attacks, X-Ray attacks... You can't figure it out right away. It is quite difficult to learn a large number of strikes at once, and our article will come to your aid. We'll break down the controls of Mortal Kombat X and show you what you need to succeed in the game.
Before moving on to our guide, let's set up the button assignments for kicks (on the left for PS4, on the right for Xbox One):
square / X - left hand strike (LP)
triangle / Y - right hand punch (RP)
cross / A - left leg kick (LK)
circle / B - right leg kick (RK)
Part 1: Controls in Mortal Kombat X
Normal attacks and pokes
This is the basis of any fighting game. The name "normal attacks" speaks for itself, while pokes are specific techniques that are used to interrupt a combo, as well as to keep the opponent at a distance. For most characters, sitting LK and RK type shots are their best pokes. Some normal hits are overhead. The overhead can only be blocked while standing; it cannot be blocked in a sitting position. Take advantage of this - mix overheads with low poking and other low attacks to confuse your opponent. This is the main strategy in Mortal Kombat X.
Unique attacks
Some fighters have special normal attacks - they have special qualities. For example, Ermak. Hold down the RP button to stun your opponent with a powerful attack for a few seconds. This attack is useful because it cannot be dodged. You can also cancel the strike at the last moment to make the enemy worry.
Jumping, movement, dashes
Each character moves and feels differently. Walking speed is very important in Mortal Kombat X, so you'll want to get used to moving forward and backward as your favorite hero. Another important type of movement is dash speed. Dash allows you to quickly get close to your opponent or, conversely, bounce back to a safe distance. To execute it, press “forward” or “backward” twice on the cross.
Launch an enemy into the air for a powerful combo
Practicing jumping is also very important. You need to know how high and how far your character can jump. Having mastered jumping, you can quickly get closer to the enemy or avoid pressure (when the enemy has driven you into a corner and attacks without stopping). You should jump carefully - the right jump will save you, while the wrong one will leave you vulnerable to enemy attacks. During the jump, a pre-written animation is activated, during which you cannot do anything. Keep this in mind before using the jump to constantly avoid attacks.
Stamina bar
One of the most important components in Mortal Kombat X. You need a full stamina bar, as well as two bars in the energy bar for the block breaker. Then press forward+RK to interrupt your opponent's combo. Stamina is also used for running. Dash and press the block button at the same time. Running can be canceled at any second by striking or blocking again. In addition, stamina is needed for dash in the opposite direction and for using interactive objects in the environment.
Part 2: How to do combos in Mortal Kombat X
Ligaments
The combo system in Mortal Kombat X uses strings of combinations. Combo Chains are a sequence of recorded animations and strikes that damage your opponent. Which combos to use depends on the situation.
1. Is it safe to block?
This is very important. If you're using combos that will leave you vulnerable to a lot of damage once they're completed, it's best to avoid them. The only time to use them is after a stunning blow (Scorpion's spear, Erron Black's techniques and Sub-Zero's freezing).
2. What is the distance of the first strike?
It's safer to attack from a distance
Knowing the striking distance that will allow you to be safe and attacking at the same time makes a big difference. Keeping your enemy at a distance is very important in Mortal Kombat X. You need to understand how far your first hit hits and what the ideal distance is for your character.
3. What strikes can be canceled into a special move or run?
You can cancel during the ligaments and switch to a super kick or run. This will confuse your opponent and prevent him from predicting his next move. This is also a good way to develop a combo and launch your enemy into the air.
Throwing into the air and canceling the run
Tossing means that your blow will send the other fighter into an extended flight. Almost all combos that throw an enemy into the air can be combined into combinations at your discretion. How you use the toss is up to you - catch the fighter on the landing or perform an extra kick while jumping.
You can throw an enemy into the air, for example, with an uppercut
When it comes to canceling a run, you have three options:
1. Easy cancellation of running
To run, press forward twice, then block. After you start running, you don’t need to press any buttons - the character runs automatically. This is very useful - while running you can press any enter button and cancel the animation into a special move or strike. For example, you can block, perform an X-Ray attack, and so on.
2. Superkick
Stun (or freeze) an enemy to continue your combo chain
During most super moves, your character moves faster than when running. Take Liu Kang for example. His bicycle kick, as well as his fireball and flying kick, will quickly reset your opponent's bar even at range. Combine these hits into combos for massive damage.
In this article, we talked about basic controls in Mortal Kombat X, as well as how to do combos. We wish you a pleasant game!

The gaming industry is vast and diverse. Almost as much as the virtual worlds created by developers. So that you don’t get lost in it, we have prepared answers to popular questions from gamers regarding PlayStaion and Xbox game consoles, licensed games and accessories for consoles.
It's difficult to definitively determine the best VR device, especially considering the abundance of them on the market at the moment. PC VR headsets that used to cost a fortune are now more affordable for audiences. However, there are four best VR kits on the market at the moment. These are Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, HTC Vive Pro and PlayStation VR.Our article is designed to help you understand the question of which virtual reality glasses are best to buy in 2018.
Heroes are great, but heroines are even better. In today's gaming industry, female characters are no longer limited to damsel-in-distress roles (like Princess Peach).We consider Nathan Drake from Uncharted or Marcus Fenix from Gears of War to be ideal heroes, while there are heroines who are unfairly left out. We decided to correct this misunderstanding. In this article, we will list five of the most famous girls in video games who inspire with their examples.
Of course, it is most convenient to play fighting games using a gamepad (joystick). With the release of the latest part of the Mortal Kombat game on the computer, many users were faced with a shortage of this device. Of course, the developers took this fact into account and optimized the game's controls for the keyboard.
X-Ray in Mortal Kombat
Each character in this game has a set of standard attacks, which, of course, help him win a fight with the enemy. In addition to standard attacks, the game also contains special moves that are created by combining standard ones. During the actual battle, in the lower left corner (or lower right, depending on which side you are playing on) there is a special energy meter that allows you to use the character’s special techniques.
If one of the players waits until this meter is completely filled, then he will be able to use the X-Ray technique. During this, special blows will be shown on the screen that can even break the opponent’s bones. A distinctive feature is that the player sees all this, because everything happens in X-Ray mode.
Such a blow can take away a significant part of the opponent’s health, which means the hero has a greater chance of winning. It should be noted that the opponent can defend against the X-Ray technique with a regular block or can dodge the blow altogether. In this case, the attacker's X-Ray scale will be completely spent. This keyboard stroke can be done using the LShift + Space key combination.
Additional attacks in Mortal Kombat
In the same mode, team attacks can also be carried out (during a 2 on 2 game), you can carry out special combo attacks, and also provide support to your partner. Many Mortal Kombat players know that previous versions had various fatalities.
Fatalities are a brutal attack that can be carried out using a certain combination of buttons on the keyboard at the end of the battle. In the last part of Mortal Kombat, this opportunity remained, and in addition, various bababilities were added (the character reduces the enemy, turning him into) and location fatalities (fatalities that are performed using various objects at the level).
Returning to X-Ray, we can also say that the user does not have to wait until the scale is completely filled. To perform a special move, you can wait until either one or two blocks are filled, but in this case the X-Ray will not be shown. In this case, the character will only be able to perform a special move, which can either interrupt a combination of enemy attacks or allow him to strengthen the special move.
If purchasing a LADA XRAY has awakened the “do-it-yourselfer” in you, start with the “face” of the car - protect the air conditioner radiator from contamination. To do this, the holes in the front body kit of the car need to be covered with mesh. A piece of fine plastic mesh can be purchased at a hardware store. We remove the front bumper, cut out pieces of suitable size from the mesh and secure them in the appropriate places on the bumper with plastic “ties.”
OPENING THE TRUNK WITHOUT HANDS
When you need to open the fifth XRAY door in dirty weather, willy-nilly you have to get your hands dirty every time. To avoid this, experts recommend strengthening the gas stops of the car’s trunk door with a pair of springs of suitable stiffness. For example, from the valve lifting mechanism of an old 1.5-liter VAZ engine. To do this, disconnect the upper fastening of the gas stop of the trunk door, place one of the springs on it and put it in place. We carry out a similar event with the second focus. Now, when the lock of the fifth door is unlocked, the springs will push it to a height, starting from which the standard gas stops will be able to cope with its rise to the top point.
PROTECTING THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT
Through the gap between the hood and the body, dust and dirt penetrate into the engine compartment. An additional seal helps keep the upper part of the engine relatively clean longer. A door seal from some kind is perfect for its role. The design of this rubber is such that it can be installed on the stiffener in the front of the XRAY engine compartment without the use of any fasteners or glue.
PROTECTING THE TRUNK THRESHOLD
Experienced XRAY note that due to loading and unloading of the trunk, over time, scratches and abrasions appear on the upper part of the rear bumper and on the lower part of the fifth door opening. Rust appears in places where the paintwork of the body is damaged. To protect against this type of damage, it is recommended to immediately install protective pads in these places. They come in plastic and metal. The latter are more expensive, so the best choice is plastic. Overlays made of this material are simply glued to the trunk sill (with preliminary removal of the door seal) and to the upper part of the rear bumper. You can even glue them with double-sided tape.
PUT XRAY ON THE CORRECT WHEELS
From the very first appearance of the XRAY on the Russian market, it seemed to connoisseurs of the new VAZ design that the size of the standard rims of the model negated the entire flight of Steve Mattin’s design ideas. Therefore, you need to put larger wheels on the car. AVTOVAZ recommends only two wheel sizes for the XRAY: 195/65 R15 and 205/55 R16. Advanced XRAY owners assure that wheels of the following sizes fit on the car without any problems: 185/55 R17, 195/50 R17, 205/50 R17, 225/45 R17, 175/50 R18, 195/45 R18, 215/40 R18 , 225/40 R18, 175/45 R19, 185/40 R19, 195/40 R19.
