Hello! My name is Tyler Lansdown, Community Manager at NetherRealm Studios. Now that you’ve seen the gameplay trailer at Summer Game Fest (if you haven’t seen it already… DO THIS NOW! I’ll wait.), let’s dive deeper and find out more about the combat systems in Mortal Kombat 1.
In this exciting new take on the Mortal Kombat universe, we wanted to offer our players a new level of player expression…come to Kameo Fighters. In Mortal Kombat 1Kameos are a unique group of partner characters that support your main fighter during games. Kameos give you an edge in every fight, providing an arsenal of additional special moves and supporting their teammate with throws and breakers. Kameos are also half of the bone-crushing Fatal Blows and come with their own Fatality.
Each Kameo Fighter is unique and brings different strengths to the fight. Perhaps your favorite character on the squad has excellent offense but isn’t as strong on defense – you could use Kameo Kano to bolster defenses, using his knives and the threat of the Kano Ball as a deterrent. Or choose a cameo to bolster your strengths.
Maybe you like flashy combos! Use Kameo Sonya Blade and gain access to leg grip ground combos or expand square wave air combos. Finally, if you like setups, mind games, and traps, you could go for Jax and use his ground kick to force actions, then air grab to thwart jump attempts. It’s entirely up to you to figure out which character best suits each cameo. We’re very excited to see the fighter/cameo combos that our players come up with.
But it’s not just cameos that drive the fight. Show your skills on the ground and in the air! In Mortal Kombat 1, Air combos have returned! Launch a high-damage combo on the ground, take the fight up in the air, and knock your opponent back to the ground. Or continue the combo from there – it’s up to you. The fight can take place overall In Mortal Kombat 1
There’s so much more to talk about when it comes to Kombat, but that’ll have to wait for another time! Stay up to date Social media channels for breaking news and updates. September 19th can’t come fast enough!
