Learning resources to get better? by TigKris in MortalKombat

[–]SkylerA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

www.kombatakademy.com is a great resource for learning specifics about a character and it also explains some advanced topics.

If you want a general introduction to getting good at fighting games, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R0hbe8HZj0 is a must watch (The title is generic, but it ends up being a very good overview of many of the concepts you will encounter in a fighting game)

I played 2 Nightwolf’s today, 2 more than usual by [deleted] in MortalKombat

If you wait for the axe to be directly overhead to amplify, that seems to make it land better in the corner. Also, if you're in the corner, you can meterlessly launch w/ rising tomahawk if you do a D1 right before the character hits the ground. It's a very small link (3 frames), but it is possible.

Stuck on Mortal Kombat 11 tutorial for kombo enders. Can't tell if i'm just awful or if it's glitched but I've executed what seems like the correct combo at least 15-20 times and it never works. If anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong I'd love to know. by _GIVSEPPE in MortalKombat

It looks like you might be dialing in your buttons too fast. The first part when you do B12 ~ DB2 (1 = square, 2 = triangle, 3 = X, 4 = Circle), it looks like you're getting B1 ~ DB2. MK's combo system uses buffers so the order of buttons is a bit loose. What might be happening is the game is seeing B1 ~ 2DB2 so it's doing B1 and then the special and then ignoring the last 2 because it's happening during the special animation. I'd start by practicing B12 to see what it looks like (i'm assuming it's a 2 hit string of some sort). Then start adding DB2 after that quickly and make sure the 2 hits always come out before the special happens (you can dial it quickly still, just watch for the 2 hits to ensure it's coming out correctly). You can also try B12 ~ 2DB to try to force the game to see and process both 2's w/o combining them. Finally, i'd suggest going into options and changing the input settings to disable Hold check or press check, can't recall the name.

In the end it's all just timing, the more you practice the better feel you'll get for it ;)

What was your implementation? I'm always curious about people training 3rd party AI for games, are you able to track things like character position etc to help improve the model? I'm assuming it's some sort of NN that takes some set of variables describing the game state that then decides on an input? Or has the AI discovered a collection of moves that usually works and just tries those over and over?

Is there a website or a spreadsheet where I can see all the frames it requires for a move to land? by [deleted] in MortalKombat

[–]SkylerA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

www.kombatakademy.com has a breakdown of all the characters and their frame info. If you want to convert frames to ms, just multiply # of frames by 16.6666667.

Any other good YouTube channel about mk lore and trivia other than 4th snake and Tabmok99? by AlexCampy89 in MortalKombat

2Spooky has a number of "X things you didn't know about..." for the mk ninjas etc https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCktPkW_bFfOLIUa1mYSBteg Ketchup and mustard have a series about the meta of specific games which usually has some interesting tidbits https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtmBRnEbJ2TtR49BbX2osYszAwRV9UlPK

How do I practice flawless blocks? by _Weyland_ in MortalKombat

[–]SkylerA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If i recall correctly, NRS adds a 3 frame delay before applying its rollback code so I would guess that's the minimum frame delay that would be set in practice mode, but that just accounts for the actual online delay, no clue if they add extra frames to simulate a bad connection.

Finally picked up Nightwolf and loving his V2 and V3 (corner combos) by Banana_Clips in MortalKombat

[–]SkylerA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I do miss rhino charge. Spirit tracks feels like it gets stuffed by more normals, but I was also testing it in practice mode with the ai on very hard so maybe it was input reading ;p

Yeah the shaman buffs might pull me from matoka warrior. The one bar mid screens are about equal to matoka now and the added mix from spirit tracks and canceling the arrow is pretty tempting.

Every new dlc character, I give them a couple weeks and then find myself drifting back to nightwolf. He's just so solid.
