It is important to know which strings are vital for your character to succeed and which ones are less strong. These are the lifeblood of Mortal Kombat 11, games will be won or lost by a player's knowledge of his strings. Strings are the combination of button inputs that cause certain combo attacks to occur. These refer to how close you need to be to pull off the move.One of the most important lessons to learn in any Nether Realm fighting game, is the memorization of your character's strings. Tap Backwards, then tap Forwards while still holding Block.įinishing moves say, or next to them. ↓ + BL + LP + LK: hold Down, hold Block, hold Low Punch, tap Low Kick while still holding the others. →, → + HP: tap Forwards, then hold Forwards and tap High Punch "HOLD BL" means hold the Block key down while you press the others Things seperated by a + means to hold those keys as you press the next keys Things seperated by a comma means to do them in sequence. ← - backwards - left if facing right, right if facing left. If you're facing right, then press the right key, but if you are facing the left, you will need to press the left key to move "forwards" → - Forwards.the "→" symbol does not mean "right", it means "forward". When you're in a fight (after the word "FIGHT" has gone from the screen, and before the fight is ended), press escape and you will find "MOVES LIST" in the menu.

You can find the special moves for each character in game. ** Raiden, Liu Kang and Jonny Cage do a spin hook kick, Sonya does a spin crescent kick The moves are graphically different but mechanically the same. * Kano headbutts, Scorpion and Sub Zero do a backfist strike, Sonya does a palm uppercut.
