Mortal Kombat 1 Sindel Character Guide by Dreammxy

Sindel's game plan in Mortal Kombat 1 differs from the previous entry of the franchise. A zoning but highly aggressive character, she has plenty of option to give. We at DashFight partnered with top player Dreammxy to bring you on an on-ramp on MK1's Sindel.

Sindel's Gameplay Basics

Best Buttons

• D3: Of all your pokes you will want to use this the most on account of its range.
• F1: Good Wake-up armor breaker and a combo starter. It's also good for whiff punishes.
• F4: Good Wake-up armor breaker and a combo starter. It's also good for pressure. Be careful about its slow start-up.
• B2: Slow, but a mid, and it can cancel into other moves.

Best Strings

• S1,1: It's good for applying pressure and shimmies.
• S2,4: Good combo starter
• F4,3: It can be a combo starter, but it is risky, and it kind of needs to be a whiff punish.

Specials

• DB1: Low projectile, part of her zoning kit. You can amplify it to combo off it up close.
• DF1: High projectile, part of her zoning kit.
• J.DF1: In the air projectile, part of her zoning kit.
• DF4: Massive Overhead.
• BF2: it restands your opponent.
• J.DB2: Levitate can cancel into other moves, so it helps in creating more pressure.

Inspire & Queen's Command

DB3 is called Inspire. This move allows your Kameo to regenerate faster. When amplified, it will also cancel a Kameo Breaker from your opponent, opening up a lot of possibilities. It does mean its startup is very slow, so you will need to be mindful of that. Kameos like Sub-Zero can help with that.

DB4, Queen's Command. Its normal version will result in your opponent's Kameo being suppressed for a short time, while the amplified version will allow you to use their Kameo once.
