Liu Kang's corner combo in this clip demonstrates the importance of positioning and recovery mechanics in Mortal Kombat 9. The setup reaches 60% damage off an off-the-ground hit—a key moment that catches Player 2 vulnerable after the X-Ray attack. The critical detail here is the opponent's inability to block the OTG strike despite holding down and block; the combo also resets the knockdown state, creating an opening that would normally be unavailable. This type of corner pressure exemplifies how understanding situational advantages and system mechanics can turn a straightforward combo sequence into a devastating setup. dedkmk's breakdown emphasizes that while the damage output is achievable with practice, the real skill lies in recognizing when the OTG hit lands and exploiting the opponent's limited defensive options. The video is valuable for players looking to expand their corner game and learn how to capitalize on specific recovery windows that most opponents fail to account for.
MK9 Liu Kang otg 60% Corner Combo. The combo is not that hard at all, but the important part is the otg hit. P2 holds D+Block after the X-Ray and couldnt block it...it seems it also resets flopping.
