Well siad SoCalHoneyBadger Hold your Ground dont Rush or Run Away Self Defence but my technique for zone wiff punishing has always been keepin a front flips distance away and back dashing away from a frontflip attack or a back one combo starter and punishing the enemies wiff with a big back 1 combo starter combo of my own. This is the true Zoning technique i dont know who came up with calling projectile spamming Zoning but its absord. Also its not a wiff punish but its another punishing combo starter from this same scenario. To mix this technique up even more when they relize what your doing but most wont....but if they do when they flip towards you and dont attack outta the flip and your zone wiff punish fails jump towards them in mid air hit them outta the air with a single punch then dash forwards then forward 1,2..forward 1,2 down 1,special combo ender or X-Ray/Fatal Blow. Or Down 1 Projectile like kitanas fan or Kabals and then the special combo ender XRay/Fatal Blow.
I dont play street fighter but what footsies has always been in my mind has been doing 2 single back 3 shin kick pokes then an overhead Kombo starter that kontinues into like a 50-60% midscreen kombo. I've never liked Korner Kombos I see them as Exploits. Ive always tried to keep it midscreen unless I do a 50-50 reset or 2 out of a Kombo into another Kombo bringing it all the way to the korner...It seems MKX and MK11 lack in alot of high skilled gameplay unless you just like konstantly resetting a very small kombo that takes very little skill to keep your enemy on the defensive with these specials that take 25%hp and 50% enhanced like scorpions spear when he swings it around which i hate doing stuff like this because it takes so very little of skill I see it as DisHonorable. The only big pay off for high low mix ups, overhead and low Kombo starters, specials and resets for me is using them all in ahuge Kombo I loved Quan Chi in MK9 for this very reason and MK9 Cyrax 4 his massive midscreen reset Kombos also, MKvsDC Raiden 4 his shin Kick and Teleport Kombo that started with an OverHead I think it was like 62% or something.
But another thing I dont like about MKX and MK11 it feels like the D-Pad has a DeadZone set in the menu and if you dont hit it right on the head at the 0.001 area that its set to it wont accept your kombo input leading to alot of dropped kombos. So then you have to start your kombo over and over cuz so many failed combos and that leads to spammy gameplay in th community kuz new players think thats what the games about..You Know ?"Monkey See Monkey Do!"? Im Sorry it looks Great Visualy but You messed this game up. Also everything is dumbed down the combo inputs all seem to be super easy Liu Kang 3,3,3 bicycle kick I played against a 10 year old that couldnt land this combo so he just spammed this 3,3,3 and did enhanced bicycle kicks that takes Half of your Health Bar, fire balls upper cuts and if you get all this spam and add ontop a bunch of spammed uppercut Crushing Blows and Fatal Blows all you need to do is spam and litterally put your Kontroller Down and smash it with your face and role your face back and forth to win and oh yeah be a 10 year old. You want to know what he siad after I beat him the 1st 3 matches and he changed his character to LiuKang he siad after he won "You Kinda Suck your a noob this is what you get for thinking you Know how to Play Liu Kang." When i was playing Kung Lao with Possesed Hat and Spiritual Guidance on poppin off 13 hit kombos every other attack I did. I just went to find Next player cuz i new i got lucky for beating him 3 times when he didnt have a character he perfected how to spam with.These 2 game titles look great but the mechanics are terrible Fatal Blow should Be Given to the person winning not to the person with low health if Crushing Blow kontinues to stay in the game... Also the popups and dashes are so far off from matching up id rather play katch with a grenade sometimes. They should reinstate the game back to 2 juggles with 3 strings of 3hit kombos with specials instead of what it is 2 strings with 1 popup or whatever it is now its whack. Its made everything a hundred times easier for the Kasual spammer to win its for sure a kasual friendly style mode of MK this way and its really not fun to the hardcore Fighting gamer like this.
