MK9 | Torment mix up

Current Fighting Games Mortal Kombat

im not sure if anyone has already posted this anywhere else if anyone has already figured this out. after messing around with scorpion a bit, i found that you have good mix up options after using the torment kombo.

after performing torment (f.punch -> f. punch -> f.punch), you have the following options:

  1. dash forward, throw
  2. blade overhead (with or without a dash)
  3. takedown
  4. demon fire

if they start to jump back, you can go for a spear.

i found this to be pretty effective against my friends (since psn is still down).

the best option is the blade overhead, since you can rinse and repeat the mix up.

what do you guys think?

It’s a nice idea. You can mix in :f: BK for low mix ups too.

You can also do a cross up if they’re blocking, but I think you can do it only after the first 2 FPs.

I try to never use spear unless it’s in a combo. If they start jumping trying to avoid the mix up i just jump n air grab. The reason why this probably hasn’t been posted is because everyone(i think) has a safe block string that leads into a low/high/grab/airAttack mixup.

Jumping 3 or 4 (straight up or cross over) is pretty good followed up with a crouching 4 for hit confirming into some juggling or block stringin.
