Mavado was one of my favorite new additions to MK through Deadly Alliance, which was the one I played the most between it and Trilogy as a kid. Was always shocked people hated him later on, until I found out people had a grudge against the 3D titles in general.
Same here. I really liked Mavado and enjoyed the little backstory we got of him. Only for him the vanish from the games after Armageddon for nearly 2 decades due to supposedly many MK fans not like him and others.
@@ahmadceasar5484 yeah but him and Kabal still shared a moveset in Armageddon since they both came back. So i wouldn’t say it’s a definite Kabal confirmed for DLC later on but also it is weird they took away the hookswords completely from Mavado when him and Kabal could’ve easily both had them and it wouldn’t have been a problem
@@omarslayz I think they're gonna continue their rivalry but they have to meet first I'm not saying Kabal is dlc I was thinking maybe mk2 or mk13 whichever it's being called
Glad to finally see Mavado return and I hope more is done with the character in this new era. Not just lazily tossed aside due to being a 3D era kombatant. I'd like to see the creators/writers work around with him being a master manipulator whose pulling strings and evolved in numerous schemes behind the schemes. His influence being retroactively being felt at least as early as Mortal Kombat 4 is details I like. I also felt Mavado is a perfect rival to Kano being more disciplined and intelligent. As well as a very powerful warrior overall seeing as he defeated fighters like Jax, Sonya, Kano, and nearly killing the likes of Kabal and Kenshi. Should be more impressive given that Mavado is a normal human from Earthrealm that doesn't really rely on technological enhancements nor possess any supernatural abilities like his adversaries.
Like, Mavado was always cool in concept but poorly executed. I like the idea of a Kano counterpart that's savvy and formal and stoic. Hope he gets some plot someday.
Mavado was one of the best designed characters in the 3D era, he had the same mysterious appeal in Deadly Alliance as Reiko had in MK4. Instead of new stories I would really love to have a remake of MK4 and Deadly Alliance, followed by Deception
Interesting to note that the lack of Hookswords on Mavado may actually denote a lack of connection between the Red and Black Dragon orgs. I hope they keep them separate, the Special Ops stuff was convoluted and unnecessary as it was.
@@xavierhouston4650 Well first of all I don't think Mavado has ever been white, he was originally based on a Spanish word and designed as a matador. Second of all Mortal Kombat has always been pretty diverse and being bothered by that just seems weird. And third of all that has nothing to do with anything I was talking about, so I think you just want to complain about things.
He had quite a winning streak there before Kabal came back in Deception. I've always liked the Red Dragon as a faction in the lore. Would've been epic to see cutscenes of the deal they had with the Deadly Alliance as well as they going after OIA and his rematch with Kabal. Side note, Why was Fujin against Tavern infiltrating the Red Dragon base? That encounter was incredibly strange to see a cutscene of a seemingly korrupted Fujin 🤔
Considering Mavado's connections to Daegon and Hsu Hao makes me wonder if they will eventually show up someday. I hope they will partially because it would feel weird to me if they got cut yet Mavado is kept. Hopefully we will get Hsu Hao at least as another Kameo just like we have Kano and Tremor. Just thinking but how many Red Dragon characters are their in MK? Just realize I think there are more Black Dragon members then Red Dragon. Hopefully they will fix that because I think those two gangs should stay equal.
There are as many members of the Red Dragon than in the other factions of Mortal Kombat. red dragon : mavado and hsu hao 2 shirai ryu : scorpion and takeda 2 lin kuei : sub zero and smoke 2 cyber initiative : cyrax and sektor 2 shaolin : Liu Kang and kung lao 2 special forces : sonya blade and jax 2 black dragon : kano and jarek 2
I wish they would’ve put him as an actual playable character not just as a cameo from what I’ve seen from previous games. He fights good and I like the way he looks.💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🦾🦾💎
Thatn is why i like about Mavado he doesn't need some fancy toys to defeat some that can run faster or someone with laser eye or some blind swordsman with 😂 defeat these three is no a normal feat
I dont play the game. Had a few chances to play mk9 with a friend who was well versed. Fortunately I had the beginners luck formula and the most supreme mashers skill. With no idea about combos or even blocking i demolished him unexpectedly. A living room full of homies that couldnt belive it. I KNOW its a game id love to learn with Noob being my favorite character and my own storyline for him. The art work and detail of the game keeps me looking up the lore and gameplay. Your cheap plug at the beginning for Ermac will not go unanswered brother lol im heading that way as soon as i learn who tf Mavado even is as ive never heard of him. Either way... great video and im subbing. A channel you will find me bingeing, commenting and liking and all the jazz. Thanks for the entertainment yo!!! Love from Kentucky
I never thought of the Attack on Titan conection until you pointed it out. Most, if not all, of The Titans are too big to participate in MK, but they could they stomping about in the background. They did that with Giganta and Atom Smasher in Injustice.
I used to play as Mavado most of the time when I had the game Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. It’s a shame that a lot of people hated him and I didn’t understand why? Personally I thought he was a very cool and handsome character lol.
wasnt mavado namedropped by sindel when she was listing off people who raiden was able to defeat in kombat? i thought it was said he defeated kotal, sheeva, and mavado before fighting kitana
Movado? More like Movadon't. I wish he would appear as an unlockable character, not an assistant character. But if Liu Kang could do more of the timelines in peace, then let's see if his timeline gets interfered by Shang Tsung a little more. Oh wait, Havik is doing it instead.
I always felt they were laying the groundwork of showing that this then-new Red Dragon Clan and its members were far more dangerous and powerful than Black Dragon. Mavado and his organizations working from the shadows having their hands in all kinds of schemes. Unfortunately the creators never did much with such potential going forward. Now the Red Dragon Clan seems to just be a gang of generic hoodlums like their rivals.
*General Shao. He’s not the Kahn, and that can be explained as Liu Kang nerfing him (though why he didn’t wipe him entirely is beyond me; Shao is, was, and always will be trouble, same as Tsung and Quan Chi; Liu kinda set himself up for Titan Tsung to come along and screw things up).

@@gjtrue I'm just glad he's back now. Even in Kameo form, that only means he can potentially assist my gameplay as my longtime main Kitana.
Tell me about it community don't want me to like both kobra and ken
Was he related to MK4 at all? That's a major blip in the video for me.
@@Trojanaloha Don't believe so. Mavado and the Red Dragon weren't introduced until Deadly Alliance.
They finally gave my boy a chance. Hopefully he'll pick up some fans as a new arrival in this era of MK
Mavado is one of my favorites but they made him look like a scrawny soy boy in his kameo.
It's interesting from the gameplay trailer for Ermac, that Mavado lacks his hook swords. Very interesting change from a gameplay pov.
Kabal confirmed
He got his hooks from Kabal so maybe we'll have to wait
@@ahmadceasar5484 yeah but him and Kabal still shared a moveset in Armageddon since they both came back.

Maybe NRS wanted to keep the hookswords as a Kabal thing, so they doubled down in the one thing unique for Mavado
Mavado looks 🔥
The 3d fighters don't get enough love.
I remember Mavado from Deadly Alliance!

The original cowboy of Mortal Kombat
Ermac: “We’re BAAAAAAAACK!”
Kenshi: “Oh no!”
Mavado: “And so am I.”
Kenshi: “Who are you?”
Mavado: “What?!”
I'm mavado the one that kick your ass in deadly alliance

I'm glad this series is back! When you released Ermac i couldn't wait to watch it. I think the last one was the History of Eddy Gordo.
awesome nice video man very nice cool i love it man good job i remember mavado looks real cool and epic too.
Interesting to note that the lack of Hookswords on Mavado may actually denote a lack of connection between the Red and Black Dragon orgs. I hope they keep them separate, the Special Ops stuff was convoluted and unnecessary as it was.
Damn so despite popular opinion…Movado is actually kinda cool ngl. I never used him back then. But I always thought he atleast looked cool.
I honestly think he has a lot of potential to be a main roster character again one day. Doing combos with those Grappling just looks dope in my mind.
The weapons he had in the comic was different than the hookswords.
Or as Max would call him, discount “Donte”.
Who’s donte

@@undertaker9991my friend. You have posted a corn emoji. You have no self awareness
Thanks for this video on this MK character I know nothing about.
Mavado actually has a decent design in MK1, it is funny seeing people on Twitter pretend that they liked him the whole time.
I’m surprised he didn’t turn black, Asian, or be the first trans MK kharacter or whatever with how Netflix Realm Studios is now.😂

Mavado is so handsome 🥰🥰🥰
Such a short history but I'm glad it's up to date
The Red dragons are potential villains it's a shame that we don't have many members of them
There are as many members of the Red Dragon than in the other factions of Mortal Kombat.
red dragon : mavado and hsu hao 2
shirai ryu : scorpion and takeda 2
lin kuei : sub zero and smoke 2
cyber initiative : cyrax and sektor 2

Awesome
Imma need a lore dump for Takeda when he returns to mk1 soon
kinda looks like young Ed Boon
Coincidence?
Let's not forget about those red coins we traded with.
He’s cool mang, gonna see if he synergies with peacemaker
Im gonna be honest we need a MK Armageddon remaster or remake but with all playable characters
The Bravado of Mavado

Motaro* not mavado.
@@nabilahmed579 ohhhhh thank you for correcting me. i misremembered its been a while since i watched through the story
Mavado huh?? Now we just need his nemesis..
Vybz Kartel
There is a official render for Mavado
I wonder who leads the Red Dragon if Daegon is non-existent. Jarek?
He’s the another kameo character other than tremur in that I’m excited for in the first mk1 dlc

He looks like Jin from Tekken only skinnier
Mavodo killing kabal sounds absurd then as it does now . I wonder his lore for mk 1 .
Well mavado had more experience that kabal or Kanon he doesn't rely on super speed or laser eyes 😂
@@EvilpowerWarrior how can u be more experienced against someone with those abilities? How sway??? 😢 😭
@@ImarBenIsrael discipline and more experience something that kabal or Kanon don't have :v

I think he has potential compared to Hsohao
who said the comic was not canon?
The closest you get to Spider-Man in the game but because of DC
YAAAAAY! So excited for this video!
Dam mavado long. Time❤
This game died months ago. I brought the game my son on Christmas. Just for him to turn around and ask me to buy characters. 😢
Died for you, maybe. It’s a fun game. Sorry you feel that way.
Mavado, STEP ON ME DADDY 😩😩
Is it me or is Shao Khan smaller in MK1 than in MK9 and MK11?
"Is it me, or is Shao Khan scrawnyer than usual"?
Everyone knows.
*General Shao. He’s not the Kahn, and that can be explained as Liu Kang nerfing him (though why he didn’t wipe him entirely is beyond me; Shao is, was, and always will be trouble, same as Tsung and Quan Chi; Liu kinda set himself up for Titan Tsung to come along and screw things up).
@oberonthedragon888 For sure. I wonder if Liu Kang was unable to wipe out Khan's life force, like on a cosmic energy scale.
Dose anyone know what that intro song called
Hes still not playable technically hes just kameo ugh i hate kameos wish he wax just playable 😢
He looks like Ray William Johnson 💀
Bro 17 years.
WE NEED TSU HAO. TSU HAO FOR NEW PROTAGONIST.
I want to know his release date.
Don’t worry I still remember who he is! 😉
its not that serious..hes a fucking game chatacter
Why is it people from UK have to be experts on American games,wrestling and hip hop.
Why do all MK1 male characters look like a Gen Z hipster.
he is Jamaican
Mavado or Ryan Garcia??
