Mortal Kombat 9/Universal Abilities/Walking and Crouching

The Very Basics

The most basic actions a character can perform in just about every Fighting Game in existence is the ability to walk and the ability to crouch. Walking is done simply by pressing Foward or Back to walk forward or backwards respectively and will be your basic form of movement across the playing field. To Crouch, just press any of the three Down positions on the joystick. Crouching allows you to perform crouching attacks, as well as allowing you to dodge under many attacks that hit high up. When crouching, you are unable to move forward or backward.
