I imagine the only people seeing it that way are non mk fans. I didn't expect it to be there just like it's not at Evo Japan, the level of Kompetition would be less. I also think they picked dbfz specifically because they're in France. This is Evo being smart, I am pretty confident they're above mocking any series
I mean, MK players rarely show up to tournament in their locale, so going to France is definitely not an option for them, and with Mk1, the game has been popular with online tourneys. It's gonna suck really hard tho if the game is not at EVO Vegas@@jpVari
when a video game company evolves it gets money-hungry bosses who just want to sell what creates unfinished crappy games with zero or inferior gameplay to previous games
Say whatever you want about Mk11. But as a casual, who never really played the game, i enjoyed the competitiveness, and the gameplay was catchy to the eyes. TH-camrs everywhere challenging each other every now and then.
@cocainecat8569 Why TF would I be mentioning the last game? We're not talking about the 1vs1 MK 11 sir. I think MK1 is the topic at the moment. Let's bring up something from a year earlier from a different game. Niiiiiiiice one, bruh
@@D1smantle I enjoyed MK 11 but just from the casual perspective. MK 1 killed my love for MK. I really think that the kameo system is a bad choice. MK X 1vs1 combats were perfect, the speed was amazing and the roster was great.
@SomnusShinra I feel like the reason why some people dislike MK1 is purely because of the kameo system. I mean, a lot of people don't like assist fighters, even Tekken-Tag got a lot of hate. But seriously, what I truly like about MK1 is that it's an assist fighter, and that it prolly has the most flexible combo system in any NRS game ever
I never thought I’d miss the days of Mk11, a game I used to have many complaints with. It’s not like those complaints when I away, but Mk1 just has so much more wrong with it that I can’t help but just want to stick to Mk11
@@Rizzo91MK11 has the worst combo breaker and meter system I’ve ever seen. Content wise, it’s better than MK1, but gameplay wise, it’s MK1 and it ain’t close. MK1’s issues are more with single player content and balancing than the base gameplay being bad
In all fairness, that game is truly garbage. Every single mechanic in that game is just questionable, and then coupled with how flat and slow the game is@@tonyhormiga5242
Funny how the two grand finals of the latest games are mirror matches... @NRS/WB if you're reading this : This is EVO's way of saying : "We love you but please get back to making awesome games and you'll be back at Evo".
Been playing since the original back in the 90s. Played every single one since. And 11 and MK1 are my favorites. Idk, man. Everybody is just different 🤷♂️
WB/Netherrealm need to take a seat for a while and reflect on how they butchered MK. MK11, despite its flaws, was still a great game. Every character was fair in the right hands. To go from that to MK1 where there's literally meta and everyone will play just the meta since meta = win. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Don't get me started on Kustomizations & Invasions.
@@valeskatkda And yet, MK1's gameplay is even more atrocious. If you think 11's gameplay is worse, then I'd love to have whatever substances you're on.
@@nnarcissist you feel me? Like people just come online and repeat what other people are saying without any thoughts to it. Mortal Kombat remains the best and most creative kombat game on this planet. It always has been. This narrative is coming from political affiliations
This post here clearly for troll since MK1 is not in EVO France. I swear FGC just love to hate MK. They can't stand how well MK been doing for fighting game market since MK9. It just sad how MK then fall from it grace starting with MK11 and now MK1. It basically the golden opportunity for FGC to trash MK now. Gosh man, if only NRS just kept the formula gameplay of MKX and keep improve it instead just changing from a scratch for each game. I blame Ed Boon for this because he state in many interview how he always wanted each MK game to look different. While I respect that creative decision, Ed also need to learn about "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". MKX gameplay is already perfect for MK franchise. MKX is the only MK game I seen that even non-MK fans admit it was fun.
On one hand, the FGC has always being toxic when it comes to games with more casual appeal, hence why they love hating and clowning MK But it’s also hard to defend any Warner bros games those days cause they just keep fumbling and that’s just sad On the other hand, I always respect and appreciate people who want to try something new, so I can’t really blame boon for this. If he had just understood that MK wasn’t meant to be 1.5v1.5 games tho…
Alot of people are blaming evo for MK not being in the lineup. Even i will admit that i was one of these people. HOWEVER….. Look at the decline in gameplay quality that MK has gone through since MKX. The only thing that got better was the graphics. MK9 and X were balls to the wall fun. I don’t know why they completely scrapped that for mk11s slow “neutral focused” gameplay. Spectators and casuals wanna see wild shit. They unfortunately don’t care for stuff like footsies and screen control. As for the competitors, they will adapt and get guud regardless. MKs biggest problem is that they keep reinventing the wheel for every game rather than just sticking with what works and adding some slight mechanical changes/additions like SF and Tekken. I love MK, always will, but even i will admit that something’s gotta give
Been saying this ever since I learned the franchise history. If they just stuck to MKX’s gameplay and added two v two, assists and flawless block, they would be fine
The entire Top8 for MK11 at Evo 2022 was mad hype. In the final game of the Grand Finals, I think you guys made a big mistake by cutting ScorpionProcs escaping Kotal's f2 string with the stage interactable, and then punishing it with a 400+ dmg combo. Many in the crowd did not realize what happened in that interaction, but that was a 200 IQ tech.
NRS and WB failed MK1. Has nothing to do with EVO. Billion dollar company can’t even fund its own tournaments and have a pro league. Terrible launch and missing basic features. That game is not even worth being in EVO lol. Typical Fan boy that doesn’t know what’s going on. 😂. The last MK1 tournament had 62 players sign up. Not even worth it.
@@Vert1986Over 4 million sold, Most played game on console compared to sf and tekken, Final Kombat was a success, Final kombat 2 is happening, Ghostface drops Nov. 19, Mk don’t need Evo for anything,
@ then why is it failing lol ? SF6 and Tekken both sold over 4 million copies as well. I don’t understand your point. Why is MK1 declining with every tournament? Less and less players are entering. Explain that to me please. It’s not just EVO it’s every other tournament as well lol. The game has great graphics and gore but the core gameplay mechanics are trash.
@@Vert1986 why u fail at reading? refer to my previous comment, Then rethink your question, And tekken sold 2 million, nowhere near 4 or over, That lie make whatever else u say disingenuous, I speak facts
because the mechanics are wack. lets be real even with the games being unavailable they could still use american accounts to buy the game or import them like us americans used to for japanese fighting games for years. the reason why they dont is the games suck ass on a gameplay level so they dont bother.
@@raylinjimenez4896 it’s just a game . Japanese culture already has gore. They fight with swords and slaughter themselves in reality and it’s a video game that bothers them? What about their movies is it not the same? I believe it’s political
My gues will be the WARNER BROS. involvement. There is something goin on behind the curtains. And whenever a mortal kombat pro gets beaten he starts saying the game is bad. Like ninja kills or sikkander they blame their losses on the mechanics of the game. It’s madness
Nobody takes SF6 or even Tekken seriously and yet people bitch & complain how those games with its mechanics and make fun of Modern players lol. Also Mortal "KOMBAT"! If that aint part of the fgc then neither is Def Jam😂

Mk1 has been rough you guys. Not even trolling, I hate it when a series fails to deliver for loyal fans

Mk 11 sets were hype too and the johnny mirror was insane.
WB is definitely money hungry, but that doesn't mean the tournaments aren't fun anymore.
Literally nothing yall r ass and have to cry about everything
Bringing politics in a game is bad
They kept making hype games
The Sonicfox and Nicolas sets were the Best ones yo me. It's a shame MK won't be In EVO France Next year
It's a shame wb hasn't put effort into maintaining the Competitive audience
They are still announcing games it can be added but it looks bleak

Yea man. I enjoyed it and was cool to watch people play it too.

Ninjakilla Vs Nicolas is my favorite.
The way Tekkenmaster was mashing with Devorah and Kotal, you would think the rent was due
He wasn’t mashing, kotal doesn’t have a fast mid so he needs to use pokes alot to jail his strings.
@ the man was literally doing 3 d1s in a row on block, that is literally the definition of mashing
