Sidestep your opponent to avoid their combos and start your own. Sidestepping is riskier than blocking and should only be used against projectiles or when you feel confident it'll pay off.

Every character has at least one or two moves per stance that will launch the opponent into the air, who can then be further attacked as they fall back towards the ground. The series has lightened up a bit since it gone 3D, mainly due to the introduction of death traps and arena weapons, which give projectile and poking characters more options. Combos Combos are the lifeblood of the Mortal Kombat series, so most people tend to gravitate towards the powerful characters capable of stringing together attacks with devastating results.
