Geras Combos in Mortal Kombat 1
Geras has some of the most versatility inMortal Kombat 1regarding the rest of the roster. Thanks to the utility of his technical moveset, concerning his special moves and Countdown system, Geras can land some of the most brutal combos that any fighting game has ever seen.

Not only that but with the help of his time-based special abilities and Countdown, Geras may be able to take out an opponent in 2–3 combos.
