I found best results for damage buff to throw the amplified version out at the end of a corner combo . A lot of times (not always) when you throw it out... people like to wake up and dry to down 1 you. The armor eats their D1 and you can fully combo punish them with the enhanced damage stack on top. If done it quite a few times and their health bar goes by bye.
Oh god times have changed if you’re reading this shmolty I remember watching your for honor player guides a few years ago. So long ago but it’s in my memories now. I wishing nothing but luck to your channel
Yoooooo, my dude!!!! Really happy to see you back, miss you a lot but your health: emotional and mental comes first Hope you doing good, remember how much we love you And as always, thanks for the awesome content nwn
Holy Crap Shmolty this is some high level description of a character no sarcasm or anything this video would be really good to a new MK 11 Player who wants to know how the basics work, Great Job !!
There is also the back 3,4 string which starts with a fast mid and the range is so small that the opponent will 90% of the time think that you are going for a grab and will not block it.
I'm surprised you didn't mentions his auto shimmy. Nightwolf has a very strong throw game because his forward throw can be looped and he has throw krushing blows so you wanna be throwing people a lot, they'll start to try to "tech" or throw escape so you can start using his auto shimmy string (111) and confirm to a kombo. To explain how this works: To perform a throw escape, you have to let go of block and press a button according to the throw direction, but the window is tight so you must react to the throw quickly, Nightwolf's jab has a similar animation to his throw so people will react to it by letting go of block to attempt a throw escape but instead they'll get hit by the 111 string and eat a full kombo. Condition your opponent with throws then use the auto shimmy.
This is definitely a good tip, but I’ve found that people down 2 a lot if they’re expecting a grab anyway. Maybe I don’t have the brain power for this kind of strategy lol
You could check out The Out Crowd Podcast! It’s not quite the same but it’s a fun pod that I do with my brother and some friends ruclips.net/channel/UCcJpWVkfM_-RHh4srrKLX7A
Spirit of Kiba can also be used in corners when amplified. Armor helps you against players, who like pressing wake up attacks a lot! However, you're pretty dead, if the player decide to use wake up roll or fatal blow, so you might use the option wisely.
This is actually a Really good guide I main night wolf before this and this guide has multiple points that will help you “get good” with night wolf. GOOD VIDEO, you never disappoint sloth lord.
I’m so glad I found ur video u get so in depth with it and it helps me out a lot but I’m using a custom variant of night wolf (spirit tracks with the amp version) but I’ll try this out as well thank you so much
After the last patch shaman is his best combo variation. Nightwolf is about as balanced as a character gets. After about 100 hrs with him he gets boring because his game plan is d3 11 or 111 or grab. B3 is a great mid. He needs it to apply pressure without jailing which is super important in mk11. Also hi Shmolty im FineSpine from the stream. Wish pc was cross platform :( Edit: u3 is a great FB punish and can anti air. 2nd Edit: the third hit of f1 2 is called a "Dial in string"
I definitely prefer Shaman over Matoka warrior. Either a good launcher and a shitty buff, or a decent launcher and one of the best projectiles in the game. I'd pick the latter every day of the week.
#Shmolty just earned yourself a new subscriber. This guide is top notch, brotha. I’m looking forward to your next guide, or just some awesome matches. Keep it up my dude. 👌🏼🤙🏼
He needs a damage buff on most of his attacks or at least the damage or time of kiba's buff. I want to use him and he's my favorite character in all of mortal kombat, but he requires a whole bunch of work to get good damage while other characters do more damage, and have a whole lot more options. I too often find myself using the same kombo over and over again only managing to get in about 35% damage. 37% optimally. To me he's just a better fujin.
Bro what is the timing for special cancelling his f2121 string ? I always try and cancel it with the command grab or any other special and I can’t get it to proc
Aaaah I see your a respectable nightwolf main, he’s a ton of fun. I have been maining Kollector basically since I started playing (scarlet sometimes I swear I don’t just zone pls don’t hate me)
I was asking myself if testing grounds in For Honor were and will be about transforming for Honor into a Mortal Kombat with three fucking guards to check. Here I probably got it right listening to the terminology XD
I don't understand shit about MK videos, i guess my brain is to slow to process what the fuck is happening on screen, but i wathced anyway because always good to hear your voice, so smooth.
When he said slow gang, I didn't think it was literal
Lmao
The king of gods has made his return. Tis a tremendous occasion
Hope you enjoy man
That neat
@@Shmolty and u disappeared again
Shmolty you left us again😢
John Marte Been streaming on Twitch mostly. Working on a Fujin guide for next week though
The Sloth could make a video of him reading the Apple Terms and Conditions and I’d still watch it because he’s amazing
That’s CONTENT baby
@@Shmolty do it you wont
bc he would meme the shit out f it to make it funny
The sloth has woken up from his hibernation! Who's going to tell him about the pandemic though?
Holy schmolty he uploaded
:)
@@Shmolty i love you

Well this is a breath of fresh air. A mortal kombat video. You're diversifying that portfolio man. Kudos.
Thanks man! I’m excited to start switching things up
@@Shmolty I'll stick around. You got some great videos.
Oh god times have changed if you’re reading this shmolty I remember watching your for honor player guides a few years ago. So long ago but it’s in my memories now. I wishing nothing but luck to your channel
Yoooooo, my dude!!!! Really happy to see you back, miss you a lot but your health: emotional and mental comes first
Hope you doing good, remember how much we love you
And as always, thanks for the awesome content nwn
I like how this is an actual guide and not a cut from a stream with someone trying out a character. This was really helpful for a new player
Imagine making good videos every 6 months:) Glad you are back amigo!
Thanks man!
Im happy ur back
the proper name for a "queue up attack" is dial in string.
Holy Crap Shmolty this is some high level description of a character no sarcasm or anything this video would be really good to a new MK 11 Player who wants to know how the basics work, Great Job !!
I don't play PC but I always like some Shmolty videos so.
Nice to see Papa Shmolt uploading again. I don’t even care what content it is
I feel called out with the Kung Lao joke there, boss.
It’s not just you don’t worry. It’s all of you ;)
Me: See's smolty posted a new video
My brain: return of the king
Was waiting for this since the stream!
I’m so happy your back and thanks cause I can barely get night wolf down
What's the song on the kombo section? at 12:00
Not gunna lie man I forgot about you after I quit for honor man holy shit glad to see ur still making content
Ah yes once again I watch Smolthy explain a game I have never and will never play I dont even know what it is I still enjoy every video. Amazing work
Thanks man
Not For Honour. Unsubbed. Disliked. Getting swatted. Family taken hostage.
:0
Yeah that's depressing I thought that it was for honor
Good to see you again boss. Hope you're mental health is steadily increasing. As always, love the content. Keep on keeping on
Let me simplify: d3, d3, d3; 1, throw; 1,1, throw; 1,1,1, d3; 1,1,1, Shoulder Charge.
Close but don’t forget to whiff punish with forward 1, 2 and stagger that back 1, 3 ;). Also the overhead is key
the man is back
There is also the back 3,4 string which starts with a fast mid and the range is so small that the opponent will 90% of the time think that you are going for a grab and will not block it.
Eyyy, Shmolty’s back
Wassup Krampus!? :D
The King has returned
I just started learning nightwolf today, nice seeing your video on it
Bro I literally cried laughing after the sub zero slide at 2:47 😂😂😂😂😂😂
These guides were too good, shame there aren't more.
Absolute King. I’ve been waiting for a new upload! Thanks for making my day :)
Glad you enjoyed it mate
Man, you are a god tier player in mk11, and your explanations are pretty funny too, you got lots of laughs of me.
Finally he’s back
Shmoltys back
It’s incredible how late this video is I love it
Good to have you back, son. Thoughts on Kollector?
Finally Smolthy!
Love you for this comeback ❤
I don't play mortal kombat, but I watch Shmolty.
I'm surprised you didn't mentions his auto shimmy.
Nightwolf has a very strong throw game because his forward throw can be looped and he has throw krushing blows so you wanna be throwing people a lot, they'll start to try to "tech" or throw escape so you can start using his auto shimmy string (111) and confirm to a kombo.
To explain how this works:
To perform a throw escape, you have to let go of block and press a button according to the throw direction, but the window is tight so you must react to the throw quickly, Nightwolf's jab has a similar animation to his throw so people will react to it by letting go of block to attempt a throw escape but instead they'll get hit by the 111 string and eat a full kombo.
Condition your opponent with throws then use the auto shimmy.
This is definitely a good tip, but I’ve found that people down 2 a lot if they’re expecting a grab anyway. Maybe I don’t have the brain power for this kind of strategy lol
The return of the king
Schmolty has returned.
*Now do the Centurion Rework*
Forward 1 2 1 2 queue attack can be special cancelled into the tomahawk, you just gotta do it right as the third attack in the string hits
Is this a prank
Shmolty no, legit, combo I use is forward 1212 rising tomahawk, dash I’m 1 1 1 rhino charge
will can't sing I must test this
Shmolty ruclips.net/video/fpv66hIwZwI/видео.html. This video shows you how to do it
Shmolty oh, it’s the 2 1 2 1
I just up night wolf a while back and now he’s my main again I never see people use him he’s fun
Don’t even play mk, just here to support my guy 😤
Cheers man
Shmolty here for ya brotha 🤙🏻
Yeeeee, MK 11 video with memes. I missed your stuff.
Need more! Very nice video
Brilliant break down & guide on Nightwolf 💯
Bring back hanging with the sloth, I remember the first one coming out, I loved that shit!
You could check out The Out Crowd Podcast! It’s not quite the same but it’s a fun pod that I do with my brother and some friends ruclips.net/channel/UCcJpWVkfM_-RHh4srrKLX7A
Shmolty Ah okay, will do 😃 thank you
Spirit of Kiba can also be used in corners when amplified. Armor helps you against players, who like pressing wake up attacks a lot! However, you're pretty dead, if the player decide to use wake up roll or fatal blow, so you might use the option wisely.
Wake up buttons can also beat this a lot of the time, but getting the up 3 read is an amazing feeling for sure haha
@@Shmolty
Oh, dayam... Never thought about U3-wakeups. Kinda sad, but now, I know a little bit more. Thanks, Shmolty!
@@DontStopMeGaLo np man happy to help
You went from for honor to mk11 but I still love you
I hope you better dudeski, nice video!
Love your vids
Great video and that sub-zero part is a mood. Also Could you do one for Kano?
Ayy he's back!
Shmolty woke up from his hibernation
After the latest patch i believe the best variation is 3. Since it has a better combo launcher and also an excellent projectile.
Finally the sloth has Returned
Welcome back
#Shmolty wow, I’m surprised Nightwolf’s reflector, reflects high, mid, and low projectiles. I gotta say... that I did NOT know. Guide is 10/10. 👌🏼
Awww I’m so happy to see you again, slothboi ;)
By Great Odin's Beard do my eyes deceive me?!
Welcome back! Btw centurion in for honor got his rework
That skyrim reference got me subscribing. Btw ty for the guide :D
This is actually a Really good guide I main night wolf before this and this guide has multiple points that will help you “get good” with night wolf. GOOD VIDEO, you never disappoint sloth lord.
He’s back!!
He's alive!
I’m so glad I found ur video u get so in depth with it and it helps me out a lot but I’m using a custom variant of night wolf (spirit tracks with the amp version) but I’ll try this out as well thank you so much
I just picked up night wolf like a day ago
One thing that's really annoying about Nightwolf is the timing for his Rising Tomahawk in the corner, that shit is so precise 😂
Yeah just gotta delay it a bit. You'll get it down to muscle memory in no time :)
After the last patch shaman is his best combo variation. Nightwolf is about as balanced as a character gets. After about 100 hrs with him he gets boring because his game plan is d3 11 or 111 or grab.

Edit: u3 is a great FB punish and can anti air.
2nd Edit: the third hit of f1 2 is called a "Dial in string"
Man when I saw the notification I was like *HOLY SLOTH*
Your alive!
He has returned
See you in half a year shmolty!
Protecting yourself is just as better. His second variation is his best.
Also as a NightWolf and Kung Lao main, I took offense to that jump joke haha, I use Order of Light so you’ll rarely see me jumping ;)
That was a pretty good watch, thank you
We missed you sloth man
OMG he really did it!!
Ahem For Honor ( cough cough ) it's nice to see u back
This guide was so good I switch my main to nightwolf.
I know I'm late as all fuck but it's good to see you're alright man
Please do one on Shao Khan!!
One of my fave RUclipsrs coming back with my new current favorite game.... I'll take it :D
Perfect :)
I definitely prefer Shaman over Matoka warrior. Either a good launcher and a shitty buff, or a decent launcher and one of the best projectiles in the game. I'd pick the latter every day of the week.
What you call a queue up attack is referred to as a dial-in attack
#Shmolty just earned yourself a new subscriber. This guide is top notch, brotha. I’m looking forward to your next guide, or just some awesome matches. Keep it up my dude. 👌🏼🤙🏼
Holy shit he’s back
I prefer Ancestral Gift for the grappling and armor break. Plus more krushing blows. It also has combos just have to be more creative.
Ancestral gift is pretty fun as well. Especially since they buffed it
MYY LORD U STILL ALIVE? Pog
Nice for honor vid, I liked
He needs a damage buff on most of his attacks or at least the damage or time of kiba's buff.

"Que-up" attacks are usually called "dial-ins"
Hey shmolty, did you play Titanfall 2? Would love to hear your thoughts on why it wasn’t the hit it should’ve been.
Bro what is the timing for special cancelling his f2121 string ? I always try and cancel it with the command grab or any other special and I can’t get it to proc
Aaaah I see your a respectable nightwolf main, he’s a ton of fun. I have been maining Kollector basically since I started playing (scarlet sometimes I swear I don’t just zone pls don’t hate me)

Here I probably got it right listening to the terminology XD
Actually considering buying nightwolf after this
