@@MrDarkknight914 most people like it but I dont. Getting komboed just sucks and it takes longer to learn to new characters because you have the combos to learn and practice 1st
Smoke gets worse and worse the better you get at the game because a lot of his strings are very reactable knowledge checks. If you know how to beat his options, most of them get him full punished. He's a great scrub killer and really fun though.
Yeah and a problem I was having was the cancels are much harder online or the timing was different. All his mixups are not real unless he is invisible vs a good player as well.
@@thelolhounds2.0 it’s just practice there’s a trick to it but a day he’s a tier maybe b tier but he is fun so that’s all that matter (also thankyou for the response)
Smoke is a character that goes up a tier by simply switching from ethernet to wifi. He's pretty weak overall compared to other characters and even if you do cancel stuff via his teleport and such its easily reactable. He's truly a wifi warrior
I feel like the worst thing about Baraka for me is the fact that back 3 is also an armor break. I’m not sure if it works on all armored moves but my god. Johnny is also annoying to deal with for me because of constant pressure and plus strings.
Since Deception I've been a Baraka lover, and seeing our boy being called to be nerfed makes me happy because it shows that NRS gave our boy the recognition he been deserving. 🥹
Raiden cyrax is even crazier you just hit confirm the storm cell or you hit confirm the launcher move and you still get high damage like with jax but better pressure and chip
You can combo after an uppercut with any character if you hold up after your character will jump into the air after your opponent which leads to a combo, Also if you hold up while blocking then your character will move their block up a little and start blocking jump attacks which if blocked in this way will lead to a full combo but up block takes a second to go back to normal block
Cyrax is the most op MK champ. 100% damage combos in mk9, nerfed to infinity in mk10, didnt become playable in mk11 to not break the game and even as a kameo in mk1 he is still kicking ass. Kneel before the allmighty CYRAX.
Geras could be broken but I legit think his execution is tough enough where it’s fair. Most of his starters are punishable and you have to time his combos so any time freeze situations are wicked low to the ground
Geras is strong but he ain't broken. He doesn't have insurmountable pressure or crazy zoning tools. His a command grab is good and he has tools but he is good but not great anything. For his kameos he gets negative health for like 80% of the cast. And a lot of strings are trash or leave him to get bodied. Takes a bit of skill to get him feared. It's not like Raiden, Baraka or Liu Kang levels of pick and play with him. Johnny is annoying but if you know the match up he can be had.
Took him a sec to figure it out, but scorpion with frost assist isn't a great combo, and should be very easy to defend against. Scorpion only has one overhead and it's and the end of a string (1,1,2 or 1,2,2 I think) and it knocks down. When he has frost assist - or any other assist that moves fast and hits low - the only way to mix up into it is through that string. it's a false mix up though cause he can't get a combo from the overhead anyways and it's easy to react to, so just block low and eat the overhead or react to it.
The fact that this mk game allows you to do 3 of the same pop up strings instead of 3 times without the opponent dropping out makes the combo route very simple for every character to execute 35% damage hope they dont nerf this
I love watching these videos because they aren’t only hilarious and well edited, they are pretty educational as well! I’d love to see a video on General Shao, his damage buff can get you 44% with one bar (no kameos either)
I know Bossi888 was played for laughs at 0:52 but that sad, defeated, “oh so you’re one of those.” We’ve all felt that. It’s either rage or depression. My man was in the depression phase.
If they gave Baraka and Cyrax a nerf maybe I would actually see half of the cast online. So far it's only been Scorpion, Baraka, Smoke, and Johnny and they always have Frost, Sareena, or Cyrax lmao
I love it when Cyrax/Baraka/Raiden deniers say, "Just flawless block, bro." Yeah, let me see you pull off consistent flawless blocks against an opponent with a janky ass wifi-connection. I see Pros fail to do it in offline tournaments ain't no way the average player, let alone a beginner, is pulling that off consistently online.
Im gonna be 100% with you bro, for anyone that plays mk1 or watches tournaments this shit is the most boring thing ever i 100% agree with the dude at the start. I dont think Baraka should be nerfed because its fucking baraka he was worthless for 20 years. Cyrax is the issue seeing as almost anyone can run him and get good results.
I'm totally out of the loop like since early 2000 with beat em ups but my goldfish brain saw the potential of this comb and it was an absolute nobrainer.
Baraka's op no doubt. Like unless you're high-level why play Reiko when you get 22% off of grabs anyway as Baraka. That at least needs to go and probably a slight damage nerf too. Maybe make his launcher cost 2 bars?
Thing about this is that I'm warming up to Baraka I just had to get used to the fact that he's both ugly, effective and a bit different than other members of the cast. Once I figured that out yeah he's nuts
Baraka finally top tier for once…. And people are gonna cry and cry until he’s nerfed into the ground 🤦♂️people just want easy wins that’s what it is…
Baraka Cyrax and Raiden Jax are BROKEN! 1 hit leads to 50% combos with only 1 bar and camos. Near impossible to win against them when just two touches ends the game
Ahh yes, I've been using Mileena and Li Mei and am now going to use Baraka. So sick of seeing Smoke, Raiden and J.Cage mains. It gets so boring in ranked and I'm not even very good
totally right, these 2 characters are way op compared to others...raidens lighning lift (idk its name) casting 4-5 times in a combo looks like when exploit happens in a game (i know it is just a badly designed ability), also his 50% combo is fking easy
When Baraka said "We are top tier" I felt that
When Cyrax added in with "You are but low", I was shaking and crying.
This reminds me of Cyrax in MK9. You get touched once and you lose 75-100% lmao.
people complained that combos in MK11 were not like in MKX... they got what they wished for
@@PizzaPartifyseems like a nice mix.

@@jassimarsingh6505 yeah that's why I don't think I will get into MK1, it's not for me. I really loved MK11.
What a world we live in where Baraka gets a “Please Nerf” from the Kommunity. (Thanks for all the likes y'all stay safe and stay hydrated!
Finally, a W for us baraka mains >:D
It’s about time they gave our homie Baraka some love lol
He deserves it
Thanks Obama!
It's not Baraka so much as its Cyrax
9:26 that Kenshi-combo was sweet 🤢🤢
I went straight to the comments after I saw that 😂
Bro might have lost the round but he landed the combo he’s been spending days in the lab working on, so who’s the true victor?
Smoke is very good. His biggest flaw is that his mid-game is bad. If you know how to cancel his specials he becomes oretty top tier.
I feel like smoke is better online a lot of pros are saying he’s very much reactable offline e

Micro duck or duck os
It is very good. Shouldnt work vs Ashrah and Havik armor though.
@@OctopusH2O can you explain what that is? This is my first serious time playing mk
General shao can go through it

fu*k em
I've never been a fan of baraka obama but i love his iteration in this game, both story wise and gameplay wise
Baraka players have waited so long for this moment
He's been my favorite since, mortal Kombat trilogy, he's a fun and great character, but man mk1 baraka is God, first game I played was a 10 hit combo
Raiden cyrax is even crazier you just hit confirm the storm cell or you hit confirm the launcher move and you still get high damage like with jax but better pressure and chip
🤣🤣"oh you're one of those" the disappointment
"Are kind do not shake hands" me and every other player who fights against smoke 😂

always love to see your videos. A smoke video would've been pretty cool ngl but hoping to see maybe Geras or Johnny cage; they seem pretty broken
Geras is not broken because
@@carlangas0100 idk if he is really that broken but if he made a reptile video then maybe Geras is a similar type of broken?

You'd be surprised how well it works.
Frost is much faster so yeah you block low and if you can, do up block to punish the overhead in case they don’t use frost
That one pounce attack that any baraka players does to get a guaranteed combo
It’s a fast safe overhead
Been playing baraka im every game he’s been in, I’ve waited so long for this
As much as I adore Steve Blum as a voice actor, I understand if people get pissed off only for hearing Baraka's voice
0:16 We are top tier.
Ill not say "nerf baraka". Cmon people. Let him once to be a top-tier. He deserved it!
9:50 Bro went Killer Instinct on him.
Never thought I'd see the say where Baraka became cool again

The fact that you’re playing Skonk is freakin dope. Two great fgc creators!
That dude at the end was beatin your ass from both sides 🤣
Not gonna lie, Kenshi's last kombo was pretty impressive
Please do Havik next, bro deals mad chip dmg and unlike baraka has no holes. His buttons are insanely plus too. His armored reversal sucks though.
Havik can't keep pressure after his combos. Watch Ketchup Mustard early tier list they talk about that
"You're one of those" "its boring"

pls buff sub zero
Bro am I trippin or nobody plays sub zero ? 😱
@@jermwormzzzmk1Faze Jev is doinf every video as Sub Zero
i remember that geras was the most OP character in MK11, he probably needs to get nerfed in MK1 as well
Thank god baraka is finally getting some love.
Unironically the inability to mute the mic just makes these videos better.
You know, if Breakers were only two bars, this would be less of a problem.
I root with the poor people he fights against with these broken fighters.
I never really played baraka but it’s nice to see my homie getting some spotlight 🤟
Ayo I agree with yo ass ma dawg
Leading up to the game i thought my pick would be Reiko and Shao but first time i played Baraka, i knew i too was now afflicted with tarkat.
Lmfao the daequan “come here boi” sent me lol
baraka wasn't kidding when he said he was once a tribune
Baraka finally gets a W

"Don't you know what we are? We are the Yakuza 4"
The R A N G E on that fatal blow is something else man good god

To: satans mother fucking personal beyblade

Thank You!!
Keep up the work🙏🏼 You should upload Nerf Kenshi or a collab with Mike trollinski🙏🏼
The problem is not Baraka. It’s Cyrax. Cameos will dominate this game for sure 😎
