Not claiming to be pro
In fact, I would consider myself average at best
But here are some tips for people who are beginners to fighting games/mkx

-Consistency is everything. Large combos mean nothing if they are extremely difficult and are easily dropped. Consistent low/med dmg > High inconsistent dmg
-Work on spacing. Back Dashes. Forward Dashes. Neutral Jumps.
-Work on combos for specific situations and not just from the neutral stand. Examples of situations : Jumping into standing opponent. Jumping into jumping opponent. Opponent jumping into you standing. Standing 2 character spaces away.
-GRAB. DO NOT FORGET TO GRAB. It opens the opponents defense A FUCK LOAD.
-There is no such thing as being honorable/dishonorable in a fighting game. You do what you can to win and so will they. Learn to adjust because you can. It is a fighting game with a given set amount of tools so if you don't take advantage of it, others will. Even I get frustrated and make remarks/complain, but this is the bottom line. There is only win or lose when it comes to fighting games.

About consistency

At what point should you end with an UC because you risk too much dropping or the tiny gain isn't worth it?

I feel Soooo cheesy when I win as Kung jib by arrow spamming an opponent with no range or closing ability.

I don't think you should end any combo with an uc if uc means uppercut
Use uc strictly for anti air(jump ins)

If you spam arrow and they can't get around it then that just means they can't adapt. How you feel about it is entirely you, but a win is a win. I don't spam personally because I get bored and feel like it takes no skill personally, BUT if I die to it I don't call them cheap/unfair/unskilled. It's part of the game and there are in fact ways to counter it and if I wasn't good enough to get around it then it is what it is.

This isn't a world competition, national event, or contracted fight. you go into these matches 1v1 no rules set. If it's in the game, it's fair.

If your connection is good and you have a mic, I can show you the ropes and help you get better
A lot of people online abuse moves that are unsafe and you get free 30% dmg on them because of it
there are a lot of experienced and good players but the number of "noobs" outnumber the experienced players probably 4:1

add me itzpookiie

Scorpion players are tough though since he has 2 snare/stun moves that turn into 30%+ dmg and very easy to pull off
But it only takes patience to beat him(which most new players don't have for fighting games)

can certain characters just not fight that kind of strat?

like yesterday i was playing vs someoen as jason, who was clearly better than me cus he could 41% me almost every try without x-ray

but whenever i'd get distance I'd just spam arrows, throw a fireball here and there if he jumps, and if he were to tele (usually the arrow interrupts it, but if he did) i'd uppercut him away and repeat the process ;/

only did it if i was about to lose ofc but it feels so dirty. I go mad when people do it vs me T_T

Spamming is cheap and annyong.
No matter what others say. It just shows how broken a game is imo. Spamming makes me hate fighting games for online matches..
