Mortal Kombat X Moves List

Practice is, no doubt, an important aspect of mastering the game, but an educated start always helps. This guide is an overview of all characters’ basic attacks, special attacks, kombos, fatalities, brutalities and frame data.

For more help on Mortal Kombat X, check out our Krypt Unlocks Guide and Understanding Fighting Mechanics Guide.

Understanding Variations

Each character in Mortal Kombat X has three variations. Each of the three variations change a character’s fighting style. Although the variations have some unique special attacks; brutalities and fatalities are identical.

Key

D – Down
F or R – Forward
U – Up
L – Left
DF – Down-Forward
DB – Down-Back
UB – Up-Back
UF – Up-Forward
RP – Right Punch
LP – Left Punch
LK – Left Kick
RK – Right Kick

For your convenience, I have separated each input with a comma (,) – for example; D, F + RP is down, right, and pressing the Right Punch.
