As of recent, I started playing more of Tag Mode in MK9.
I haven't seen any threads on TRMK with written out Tag Team combos for certain characters together.
So, with that said, maybe we could post up some high and low damage Tag Team combos here, to feed off of.
Some Tag Teams that I had in mind (at first) are the ones who seem to go together, such as:
Smoke \ Sub-Zero
Scorpion \ Sub-Zero
Kitana \ Mileena
Kitana \ Jade
Jax \ Sonya
Liu Kang \ Kung Lao
Sektor \ Cyrax.
Granted, there are tons of more Tag Mix-ups that can be created, but I was just using these as examples.
Pat, is there any way that we could make this thread "sticky" in the MK9 "Characters" section, so that people may keep adding NEW Tag Team combos to the thread???
I didn't want to make a thread for every possible Tag Team out there, but I figured that people could just use this as a guide for improving Tag Team combos. ;-)
Sub-Zero\Scorpion by Critical-Limit
Sub-Zero\Kano by YungQ94
A pretty damn good team, you can 2,2 freeze, 2,2 tag in with Kano and 212 any special move with Kano (except choke) and it's pretty good.
11-hit CORNER combo, 33%damage
2, 2, FREEZE, 2, 2, TAG .. 1, 1, 2, Kano EX Ball by Araknyd_Commander
Scorpion and Sub Zero by iViTal
Scorpion: Jip, B+2, Jump Kick, teleport, 1 >> 1,1 >> Spear, TAG/Sub B+1,2,1
Combo does 31% (Average Damage) but if your opponent guesses wrong with the B+1,2,1 Mix-up you get a full combo, however since it's a 50/50 and they guess right you get blown up with a full combo.. So it's risky but can land huge damage.
Unblockable set ups
Sub has his chargeable B+2 that's unblockable (If charged all the way) And Scorpion has his Hell fire Assist but it takes 1 bar. Because your opponent is in hit stun from hell fire assist you have enough time to go for the unblockable B+2. Hellfire does 8%+ to any combo you use after the unblockable set up.
Sub on point: Unblockable assist, B+2(Fully charged) >> B+1,2 > 2,1,2 Slide. 35% Base damage +8% from the hellfire = 43%
Sindel\Mileena (with x-ray) by The_Wraith
Start with Sindel. Do JIP, B3, F2, Scream, JIP, B3, F2, (Change to Mileena), B1, 4, 4, X-ray. 56%
You can't get that damage doing ANY combo with just Sindel or just Mileena.
Cyrax\Kabal: by Immortal Reaver
15 Hits 37%: JiP, 2 1 Net. Walk backwards slightly. JiP 2 1 Tag. Dash, F+3 2 Nomad Dash. Try to catch them in the air high. B+1 2 1 (only the last hit connects sending them flying) Dash, F+3 2 Ground Blade.
18 Hits 61%: JiP 2 1 Net. Walk backwards slightly. JiP 2 1 Sticky Bomb, Medium Bomb, Uppercut, B+2 (do it kind of early so only the explosion hits them), Dash 2 1 Tag, Dash F+3 2 Ground Blade.
Cyrax\Sektor: by Immortal Reaver
18 Hits 65%: JiP 2 1 Net. BB+Tag. JiP 2 1, Sticky Bomb, Medium Bomb, Uppercut, B+2 (do it kind of early so only the explosion hits them), Dash 2 1 Sticky Bomb, Uppercut.
Quan Chi\Rain by nomad
quan chi and rain.
trance, to tag rain in, to ex damage boost... ahhhh the damage!!!
just going f1,2,trance, tag rain in, ex damage boost, 4,3,db3 ... 6 hits one bar 40%
also have a 51% 10 hits one bar, i'll post later
still finding cool shiit...
like ending rains lightning with quans tag assist telestomp, not really worth metre but it looks classy!
also you can go f1,2,L1 (high low med) to rain combo..
Kitana \ Mileena by Major Logan
Mileena's Splits (U+4) and Ball Roll can tag swap and Kitana Noble Lift (F+2, 1) can tag swap.
Tagging in Mileena using the Tag Special can catch opponents off guard.
Kitana's Tag Assist is only good in between combos and breaking certain pressure games.
Kitana's EX Fan Toss Dash Cancel can add extra damage to combos as long as you have meter.
Now for the tag combos:
Kitana
F+2, 1, Tag(Mileena), Ball Roll, B+1, 4, Tag Assist(Kitana), dash, 4, Neckbite (Easy BnB tag combo)
F+2, 1, NJP, dash, B+2, Air Fan Toss, dash, B+2, Air Fan Toss, Tag Special(Mileena), Air Sai Blast (Timing has to be perfect or you'll whiff the second teleport kick.)
Mileena
4, 2, Teleport Kick, Air Sai Blast, Ball Roll, Tag(Kitana), 4, Fan Toss, F+2, EX Fan Toss Dash Cancel, 4, Fan Cutter (Another tag combo that requires strict timing. You can add the EX Fan toss and 4 for extra damage at the cost of a bar)
JP, U+4, U+4, F+3, 2+1, Ball Roll, Tag(Kitana), B+2, X-Ray(Easy X-Ray Tag Combo)
B+3, Ball Roll, U+4, Tag(Kitana), B+2, Air Fan Toss, Tag Special(Mileena), Air Sai Blast (Strict timing but easy BnB tag combo)
You can mix those combos with the tag swaps. Mileena has one of the best tag swaps in the game (Ball Roll & Splits). I don't remember the number of hits and damage percentage but I will leave it up to you guys to discover that. Thanks for reading.
Cyber Sub-Zero \ Cyrax by Immortal Reaver
21 Hits 54%: JiP 2 1 Ice Ball. Walk backwards slightly and Tag. JiP 2 1 Net. Walk backwards slightly. JiP 2 1 Sticky Bomb, NJP, Dash, B2, 1 2 1 Anti-Air.
Sektor \ Baraka by back, back, back, low punch
Start with Seksek:
1, 2, b1 b2 tag into Raka
f4 for the reset into the mixup of your choosing.
