I’m glad to see a DLC Kameo that’s a little more approachable. No variations or stances to track, just some simple combo extenders to add to your existing game plan. I love it.
HaviK just went from the bottom tier to mid tier just with this Cameo! If only all cameos were this useful! How about a Competitive History of Mavado video since a lot of these new players have no idea who he is! Great video bro, keep up the good work!!
I was hoping to see this video yesterday, I was hoping LMAO. Your videos are always a great thing to look forward to and I get so happy when I see something new. Keep keeping on K&M !!
Never thought I'd be able to play a MK game where I could team Reiko up with Mavado, but here we are, I'm not sure how good their synergy is together, but I've always been more of a character loyalist rather than a tier wh0re.
1 bar pushblock would be way too cheap. 1 bar and full kameo might be alright tho? 2 bars and half kameo isn't the worst thing. Also I'm hoping this will be like Spawn being the first character with an armor break move in MK11, before they then gave everyone the same mechanic in some way
@atlantic33333 the damage isn't the strength of it. Its the fact that you are getting a neutral reset in pressure situations where armor may not be an option. I feel like if it was 1 bar, there would be a lot of characters who'd never be allowed to start any kinda pressure, and it would also be difficult to make comebacks cuz the person with the life lead could just hoard their meter and pushblock anytime you tried to get anything started. Its similar line of thinking as to why breakers being 3 bars is reasonable
Mileena gets 30% combos off all amped low sais, which can be used as a mixup in strings or simply as a low profile zoning move, she gets 46% meterless off 122(grab) into bomb, and 30% meterless grab and armor combos. Also she gets hard to blockables with the slide because of her overheads, and ball roll blockstuns long enough to toss out the mine on block similar to how you might use stryker. She felt like the biggest benefitter out of everyone I tried.
Havik is so much fun to play I haven’t played since Omni man came out I just got back into the game and I was wondering why I won almost every match with him and I think it’s cause everyone stopped playing him
Man I really appreciate you doing these videos to help explain what the kameos do for characters, I was struggling to understand how to use mavado with havik
Yeah it has stopped people from trying to zone me playing Shao,I've had one dude rage quit because I never gave him the chance to run away and zone lol
That 100 loss to health is brutal, poor Quan's and Nitara's become a true 2 touch loss character. Fought a Shao/Tremor with Nitara/Mavado and god it felt awful, despite me being the significantly better player one mistake cost me 45%+
Pushblock should be added to all kameos, changed to cost 1 bar (stay 1 kameo), and activate last breath against 1hp opponents. That would make it afforable as a defensive option, and keep it from being absurdly strong as a tool against opponents under 7% hp.
2:04 can confirm, accidentally killed myself as Baraka with this, opponent didn't move for a good second after "Finish Him", I can only presume after laughing
This guy is just going to be totally broken in my opinion. Even with the health penalty it’s worth it for just the landmine, 3 way mix and also they can’t mash because then they might just eat the mine and also you’re plus on block even if they manage to hit the 1/3. Not to mention that it is one of, if not the, most flexible combo tool in the game if you need to turn a random hit or throw into a kill. Also he gives you a decent fullscreen option, 2 other less expensive and still very flexible combo extension tools that auto hit-confirm, and the only otg in the game, which does 60 unscaled damage or converts a knockdown into a plus 30 on block situation or another crazy mixup. And a push-block that is kinda meh but creates checkmate situations where your opponent can die for using any move.
General Shao now have a 54% damage off his low+grab string with the mine and 1 bar of super meter. That’s absolutely ridiculous damage from a string before Mavado would only give you 14%. Plus the time the character is in stun with the mine he can buff his axe giving him further damage. Mavado + Shao + 2 low combo strings with mine = dead 💀
Even with 100 life penalty, how is this not just bar none the best cameo for almost every character? It give you not one, but 2 rule breaking moves (removing wake up options+guaranteed pressure, punishing almost anything on flawless block). On top of that it's just one of the best combo moves, it's a low so you can do nearly unblockable set ups, it give monster plus frames, and the mine unblockable throw combos and hitstun to set up whatever unique option your character has. Movado actually just makes every other assist obsolete.
Scorp actually gets insane meterless damage off that mine 21 hellfire mine is a great starter also bthrow mine if you time it where the mine detonates as the kama hits can give you up to like 25% off a throw lmaooo
I currently use Baraka Mavado, I can now combo off of his F4 string, get decent damage off of a otherwise useless string, but it’s a 12-frame mid and a decent whiff punish string.
Raiden was fairly dead im all fairness. I think the thing with mavado is its a more interesting offense now. The chip/jail strats previously were just boring to do and have done to you. Long rounds etc. Now when he wrecks you itll be quick. I don't expect the same kind of groans with this team.
@RoyArkon different but not mutually exclusive. A chracter canbe both simultaneously with no conflict whatsoever. And the community pretty unanimously declared him boring. Every tourny with him featured read any chat or comment section prenerf. It was always the same. People dont like to watch jailers/chip damage. I do for the record. I enjoy the character knowledge required for those to work. But its not about what i think. He was universally declared boring. Its not really up to us
@@ChicCanyon That's because he was seen so often. It wasn't the tactics that people made people call him "boring", it was the frequency of him being picked by players. And yes, it's not up to us, but Raiden wasn't boring from a technical standpoint.
@RoyArkon again i never found him boring. But there was a concensus on him. I don't think with mavado he'll be reviled like he was. Hes fast and still technical. As long as he isnt omnipresent i think this team will be more popular to watch. Time will tell of course but im optimistic.
Shao/Movado is broke beyond believe. The pull jails on block from f12, the low (axe stance) does 530 damage, the command grab does 530, the overhead in axe stance does close to 400 and he gets 300 of backthrow(without having to setup the mine! You can hit confirm back throw)
You got any links to vids of this? I've labbed a little but got like 440. Honestly his otg slide being plus on block excites me as a Shao main a whole lot. And throw combos.
Ya know, I love Mavado as a Kameo. But online? Man the lack of health sucks so fuckin' hard. Two combos and you're practically dead. I've lost so many matches with Sub-Zero cuz of that. But other than that? Mavado is a fun Kameo!
Honestly, goro can combo from almost everything mavado can and even some things mavado cant combo from such as scorpions back 3. The raiden combos can be done with goro same with most of these other combos except for the grab combos. Buttttttt he has a lot more utility and offers the same benefits goro does but takes away more health then goro
WAIT He takes away heath, do other kameos do this? This is their trashy idea at balancing! Where is the indication in game that it takes away health? Not that I am saying you are incorrect, just asking why is there no indication this is happening!!! So really, what other kameos take away health like that? I had no idea. I am glad you put raiden combos in, as I was watching I already seen ways movado might be great for raiden. I might start using him now seeing what he can do.
since most DLC Characters and Kameos Are Top Tier (Newer ones seems scarier). After Last DLC Release will they finally Restore Balance by Buffing first Characters and Kameos?
Man you're making it seem like Raiden/Movado is way better than it actually is. And Havik is still the worst character in the game despite his free unblockabke
I’m glad to see a DLC Kameo that’s a little more approachable. No variations or stances to track, just some simple combo extenders to add to your existing game plan. I love it.
Kept waiting for your breakdown because y'all always deliver
I'm telling you man, they are slowly but surely turning this game around! I'm having so much more fun than at launch, especially as a Shang Tsung main
Just shows they rushed the game
@@KlukePhoenixwe already knew that, but most games give up after the bad reviews
Based Scout TF2 pfp
People like this guy are the reasons why games are they way they are nowadays
@@KlukePhoenix Yeah exactly, completely rushed

Full combo off armor and command grab goes stupid hard
He can combo off 434 and b34
Reiko is an S tier character
Their synergy is OK, but nothing like what Tremors gives Reiko.
Consider me SHOCKED with those Raiden combos 😂 I'll see myself out. Thank you
That 100 hp penalty is rough.
Given the amount of offensive tools you have though, it may well be the only thing preventing Mavado from being the uncontested best kameo in the game
Nitara/ Mavado players after loosing 40% health to a single uppercut: 🗿
@@misterpainwell7821 they’re literally a 2 touch from most characters in the game lmao
Shao tremor vs quan chi mavado 1200 hp vs 800
Sounds like you shouldnt pair those two together then @andrueis
Every Kameo should have that push block feature.
And make it one bar of meter and all the Kameo bar please.
Just add push block to the main roster. 1 bar get off me with no combo ability.
1 bar pushblock would be way too cheap. 1 bar and full kameo might be alright tho? 2 bars and half kameo isn't the worst thing.
Also I'm hoping this will be like Spawn being the first character with an armor break move in MK11, before they then gave everyone the same mechanic in some way

Havik mains rejoice 🫡
I've been waiting for Mavado since the leaks. Glad to see he's viable with Havik. Now I have another option outside of Havik Jax
No. He's still trash
@C4ndyC4neLan3 Why even be in this chat hater. Havik best character in game wym????👀
Not the problem. Havik players are just bad.
Havik is so much fun to play I haven’t played since Omni man came out I just got back into the game and I was wondering why I won almost every match with him and I think it’s cause everyone stopped playing him
Man I really appreciate you doing these videos to help explain what the kameos do for characters, I was struggling to understand how to use mavado with havik
I feel like Ermac gonna love this cameo
Nomad touch being 19 frames full screen AND plus 8 might just win the zoning war at least against slower projectile characters.
But it pulls you closer. Not exactly a zoning tool
@@DorkLord69 prob should have expanded on that it doesn't keep you full screen but stops the opponent from zoning
Yeah it has stopped people from trying to zone me playing Shao,I've had one dude rage quit because I never gave him the chance to run away and zone lol
@@fortunefiderikumo it's a high
@C4ndyC4neLan3 I know but it comes out so fast and from offscreen that it catches most people,one of the best antizone moves in the game
You know why I'm here 😏 To request *Competitive History of Liu Kang!*
Bruh....
You're doing the community happy. Because we're all waiting for more competitive history videos.
Yessir
Nah we good
No MK II Meta. They keep forgetting MK II!
Love these videos keep up the great work ❤❤
I am glad/hyped that Movado made it back!! And I'm not good but I got the knockdown slide to work real well 😂 *Bows* 🙏🏾🔥🐉
I disreggarded the OTG so fast, but after seeing this is time to hit the lab. I did not think of the negating wakeup and enforcing pressure side of it
Mavado with Shao has been so much fun
Mavado is so evil that he takes your own health bu hitting you with the opponent 😂🔥
Kitana has really good synergy with him as well lol I’ve been loving that team so far.
Straight back to the top of tier lists for my boy Raiden😂
Currently having fun with Kitana and Mavado, myself. Just wish I had a proper overhead option.
that Raiden tech had me laughing so much stuff he have with mavado lol
That 100 loss to health is brutal, poor Quan's and Nitara's become a true 2 touch loss character. Fought a Shao/Tremor with Nitara/Mavado and god it felt awful, despite me being the significantly better player one mistake cost me 45%+
You can also combo off the flawless block in the corner but scales massively
Mavado’s timing is weird sometimes, but he’s fun to get right. Enjoying messing with him in the lab!
Drinking Game: take a shot every time Ketchup says they don't main or play a particular character
I was messing around with mavado and found that you can combo off the quan chi teleport with the mine and u can get 37% meterless full screen combos
Pushblock should be added to all kameos, changed to cost 1 bar (stay 1 kameo), and activate last breath against 1hp opponents.
That would make it afforable as a defensive option, and keep it from being absurdly strong as a tool against opponents under 7% hp.
This Sonya main is waiting for THE competitive history 😝
i wish they would buff nitara's hp
I’m learning Havik for this Kameo. Labbing has been pretty fun.
It's definitely a new timeline if Kenshi synergizes with the Red Dragon😂
2:04 can confirm, accidentally killed myself as Baraka with this, opponent didn't move for a good second after "Finish Him", I can only presume after laughing
29:57 Ketchup morfing into Mario irl
Is there an opening for the 3rd sauce position?
I’ve been wondering if Movado’s OTG is a callback to Drahmin’s ground pound considering we haven’t had a true OTG move added in a while
Most of the characters getting Fullscreen combos is hilarious
This guy is just going to be totally broken in my opinion.

Liu/Mavado is actually kinda crazy Liu gets so much
Mavado is to Havik what Khameleon is to Sub-Zero.
He becomes a MUCH better character with that kameo.
Don't know why everyone keeps saying this like he isn't still the worst character in the game. Sub/Khameleon is WAY better than Havik/Movado
Cuz he needs help, and he got some
@@javoclean960 no he didn't. All the problems he had before Movado are still there
Just the kameo I was looking for subzero and mavado here we go
Kitana and movido goes crazy
Amazing video. Keep it up
General Shao now have a 54% damage off his low+grab string with the mine and 1 bar of super meter. That’s absolutely ridiculous damage from a string before Mavado would only give you 14%. Plus the time the character is in stun with the mine he can buff his axe giving him further damage.
Mavado + Shao + 2 low combo strings with mine = dead 💀
Ive been using him with ashrah and I’ve been easily pulling off 50% combos
The push block is probably in beta testing, probably just like spawns armor break in mk11
I just thought of it u could just do a ice clone with sub zero and then do the move where u hit each other yk?
16:13 So, what I'm seeing and hearing here is that the Trenchcoat Mafia has transitioned from MvC3 to MK1 successfully. /joking
I feel bad for the base roster kameos because all of the DLC ones got so much sauce that the base ones just kind of seem like less.
Why is the push block two bars ???
Not every knows that OTG kick can be blocked
People just letting themselves get hit lol
It can be used as a proper ender in very specific situations.
@@badmoonris1ng476in what situation can it not be blocked?

21 hellfire mine is a great starter
also bthrow mine if you time it where the mine detonates as the kama hits can give you up to like 25% off a throw lmaooo
