Learn Mortal Kombat 9 recovery options: Quick Recovery, Delayed Recovery, and Wake-Up moves to stay alert after being knocked down.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Quick Recovery - Pressing any button or move in any direction at the same time your kombatant hits the ground will cause them to quickly recover to a standing position.
  2. 2
    Delayed Recovery - Holding the Block button when on the ground will keep you in a laying position.
  3. 3
    Wake-Up move - Some special moves can be done instantly when laying on the ground and will almost always connect with an attacking opponent. (Wake-up Moves are identified by an asterisk(*) next to their name in Section II.)
Tips
  • Use Quick Recovery to get back on your feet immediately.
  • Hold Block for Delayed Recovery to stay down longer and potentially bait an opponent's attack.
  • Utilize Wake-Up moves (marked with an asterisk) for an offensive option as soon as you are able to act.
