How this game looked during the tournament one may think the majority of the roster was locked like a demo and Cage and Peace were the only unlocked characters.
Yah most fighting games suffer from this in tournaments. Smash Bros Melee has a meme "no items, fox only, final destination" for a reason. MvC2 had Magneto, storm, sentinal.
I disagree they shouldn’t even have bothered with tag/assist systems period😭 stick to 1v1. That’s my personal opinion at least, don’t get me wrong I can tolerate and even have some fun with Kameos, but at the end of the day I just enjoy true, traditional 1v1 best. I don’t want teammates, I don’t want assists, I don’t want to worry about mix and matching my kameo or whatever I just wanna pick my main and fight. I know being creative and mix and matching is the fun for some people, but everyone at this point knows the top tier kameos so obviously those get the most picked and it gets boring to play AND watch. I also just don’t wanna learn every kameo just let me learn my character. That’s obviously on me, but at the same time I think it just goes to show I’m not a big fan of the mechanic. Again, I can tolerate it, even force myself to enjoy it at times but do I enjoy it over traditional mk? No, hell no😭
@Latino_Burrito the 1v1 would have sucked too. we're 3 games in a row NRS completely changing the style of the game instead of just perfecting X. they dont know what they're doing. it's blind leading the blind
@@Latino_BurritoI completely agree with you, I guess they wanted to so something different to stand out compared to Tekken 8 and SF6, but I'm so disappointed with the assist system I would have preferred if they had sticked to classic 1v1. That's why I left MK1 and switched to SF6.
Exactly especially Mileena, like why the hell, out of all the years Of kombat history, you nerf the distance of her projectiles, and she has to charge to teleport kick or ground roll, you can easily counter it and her wake ups and combo starters/mix ups are trash, meanwhile everybody is broken or spam
@@DemetriusDiggs-bg1sy Hard disagree on Mileena, She's able to to average 40% off a 1 touch low, or mid into ball-roll combo She's slightly above average Li Mei though gets to 50% off a 1 touch combo
i nvr liked injustice now i hate it even more injustice success blinded nrs to oh this what ppl want they had there own lane inj 1/mk9 inj2/mkx but with 11 they merge injustice stuff in mk, like how the game looks, the movement, the speed even how the damage was displayed
I feel like injustice 1 and 2 were good for its time period. It’s considered outdated today but back then it was a fun game with a good storyline. Mk1 is pretty much injustice with Mk characters and its lore with a bunch of unnecessary microtransactions.
I stopped after mk9. Mkx and 11 made me glad I quit. New mk1 just makes me glad I stopped investing in this franchise. Just wish people could let go at times.
Same here. Been 20+ years of buying these games. Made the decision not to buy it even with returning characters to look forward to because I knew this kameo system was gonna be stupid OP. The moment the first trailers came out, I was like "NOPE".
@WutTheDeuceGaming I don't call it kameo ,because honestly it's just assists with nostalgia pandering . Nostalgia pandering that is selective and also makes me rather have a hard reset of the franchise over this soft reboot that keeps the stupid hourglass, titans, and other mk11s retcons and bad decisions .
The viewership for the tournament was pretty bad as well. It stuck around the 10 to 12K range. Other fighting games for their finals have at the very least more than 3 to 4 times that.
Don't care what people say, but I find this game a worst mk title than mk 11. Despite all the issues mk 11 had, it literally still felt more complete than this garbage
@GhostOfficial-0187 nothing to like about this game Is just awful. No mind games, no cool tech, nor mechanic. Just long ass boring combos using characters u don't even wanna use
@@MillzSzn The most ass Kombat Pack ever, that's just even worse. The 3 you listed don't even have issues and compared to the roster of dlc we've gotten 2 of them are the best they've been since we last saw them MKX lol.
I stopped playing and watching mk since Tekken 8 dropped but man I love listening to these because you are legit like the only normal dude expressing true casual frustrations.
Frustrations that could of been likely avoided if people didn't buy it. After mkx and mk11 with the God awful practices and shit, people still wanted to buy from them again?
I’ve said this from the start.. the Kameo system turned off the majority of MK players from this game. It just simply doesn’t feel like an MK game. They need to go back to their roots.
Ed isn’t going to change anything. Why would he? This game was a cash cow for WB and NRS. And as ridiculous as this game is it all started back with MKX and no matter what they keep pushing out consumers keep buying it. So why would Ed change anything? He’s laughing at us all the way to the bank
@TheBanished_Gaming only a cash cow because people be stupid and buy it anyways. Missing out on a new mk or whatever won't kill anyone. Even a former fan like me abandoned the franchise because I got tired of netherealm and wb games practices and how they pushed mk the past decade or two.
@@TheBanished_Gaming Competitors, and repetition like this. MKX was a golden child, for all of it's problems there was still massive amounts of content, and great characters to learn. MK11 still kept that content, but they fucked up the fighting, however the player base was still loyal. Here though with something like this, having 591 recurring streams compared to the thousands your competitors have over is only going to hurt the pockets in the long run. Mortal Kombat isn't a monopoly, they have SF and Tekken to contend with. And even though both of those games have been out, they clearly attract and maintain more players than MK. If ED were to just laugh to the bank, he'd start questioning why the check is getting lower. Because with shit like this, the player base is dropping.
@@DondonII that was the most lucid, well thought of response to anything I’ve ever posted on any channel. Not only did you make a legitimate counter argument to my comment but you also made me question my own position on the subject. I too find it hard to see any situation where Ed or WB can continue in the direction they are currently taking with MK1 and have any hope of retaining much more of the fanbase. Tekken 8 and SF6 both stumbled on their way as well but they were able to recover far quicker than MK1. I say that feciously because MK1 has yet to recover from several issues that plagued it from day 1. I find it utterly ridiculous that a KP2 and story expansion are still in the pipeline to be released given the fact that the player base has been reduced to a shell of what it has been in previous titles, as you said streams are almost non existent because the fans find the game boring, and the players find it boring. Adding more characters and content is the last thing they need to focus on. Fixing the game itself first then adding more content should be the way they go. Like I said earlier I have not seen a response like yours that was well thought out and full of facts in a long time and it was refreshing to see.
I'm also a lifelong fan. Started with MK in the arcades, every home console port, all the way through the 3D and era up to present. It definitely saddens me that I haven't truly loved an MK game since X. For better or for worse that's the last time I remember genuinely being exciting not just play, but also watch, learn from tech videos, and anticipate who was gonna show off a previously slept on character or variation. I hope I can regain that excitement again one day about MK 😢
Yeah bro Broseph was a top tier Quan Chi. But most of the tournament that was fun for me because of Ninja, Broseph, Kani, and zeeus. Those guys in my opinion were the life of the party. Everyone else was so boring and bland. And...too much peacemaker😭😭
same, haven't played since quan chi release and tried to pick it back up a few weeks ago. As i'm labbing some of the new kameos, it hit me, this game is boring
💯 been off mk1 and back on mkx and let me tell u , there’s still competitive players online and get to play all characters without fearing a counter pick or whatever
When homelander got a move that changes properties based on counter hit I screamed at Ed boon that every character should have a normal and a special move that does that
I miss Mortal Kombat. Ninjas, sorcerers, good stage music, dark tone, stage transitions, stage fatalities, multiple alities, mk 3 outfits (the real ones) no cameos, no variations, no assists, no guess characters, great combos
@@just_2swift most deff man they mess it up on purpose it seems. MKX was great they just needed to update it. Bringing back air combos was cool just cameos was fun until it wasn’t. I just miss 1v1
The fact we are almost at a year lifespan of this game and there are STILL game features locked behind "Coming Soon" is a gawdamn insult and an absolute disgrace. If we don't boycott the next NRS title then we are literally the problem. What we allow will continue. Hit them in the only place they'll care... ...the money.
Visually and design wise it's 100% worse that's what I'm missing the most I don't like the charecter design and I don't like the DLC they're too kids friendly and dumb looking..
@@tsvetelin6556i won't say kid friendly,more nothing special like all the dlc1 characters from street fighter 6 have their own identity and doesn't clash each other out since their gameplay are competely different. Mk1 dlc have 2 superman clone and 3 returned character that 2 of them should have been in the main roster bc they already shown in the main story and play parts of it. The only one that's remotely interesting is Peacemaker bc he do more than just 1-2 same combo and doesn't relied on Kameo to do high damage combo
@@cindylima2686... Only think mk1 is better than mk11 is the removal of some gameplay mechanics like the break away and get up role .and no charge super meter. Other than that . Mk11 is way better in looks intro outros guest characters modes . Never seen someone do a move 3 times in a row to make a combo in mk11. Mk1 have baked trash .
@@spectrexr1what? Mk11 had no damn combos, did you watch sub zero? Skarlett? Ect. Game was incomplete on launch with 25 percent of the characters missing 😂.
@@battousaithekingslayer9913 it had the worse combos out of recent mk games . But I'll take those combos over mk1 combos anyway . After u keep playing mk1 especially with certain characters you gonna see the same start up and strings everytime. It's annoying . Imma scorpion main and in mk1 he dogshit and can only start a combo like 2 ways . Id rather have variations that rely on a kameo to make the charter good . Mk1 doesn't even have lobbies lol. Mk11 was much more complete than mk1 . Mk1 no krypt no towers of time no nothing. Bare bones to this day
I still don't understand why they can't just give awesome tools to all the characters... If having a 6 frame mid makes Johnny so good, why can't everyone have a 6 frame mid? If having star power makes Johnny broken, why can't everybody have a star meter? I could go on... why is this even a thing?
Because then every character would be the same and that’d be boring. The biggest problem with MK11 and MK1 is that they’re taking away character archetypes and it’s making the game very watered down and boring.
It's a shame to create 30ish characters and close to 20 Kameos with 90% of them being ignored. They should want to do something about that. Not just nerfing the top characters but buffing others so people will want to use them.
Textbook example as to why gamebalance is important. The casuals see this and either lose interest in the game or start playing only the small selection of characters on display. You can't hide bad balance anymore.
i went to the tournament in person and had a great time loool it was super hyped when ninja switched to liu but i completely understand where you’re coming from
U cans till play that game and find good players online , I myself went back to it and still find some good players and a lot of players from back then still playing
@@othellorucker8107 trust me you’ll find a lot of players there still believe it or not and each character with their own unique styles just keeps mkx a gem of its time . I’ve since been playing it and haven’t got bored , always getting the tick to get back on mk1 but I resist it , there’s nothing hype about it anymore ,just expecting to lose in a scrubby way or just by a top 3 tier character without any counter picking lol
MK9 was the best for me..MKX was a good continuation even though I had issues with it.. but thats personal bias against run, variations and the UI design etc. I'm picky for what "Mortal Kombat" is to me. Watching MK Tom Brady Mk9 and MKX subzero was the shit though.
Just play the fucken game and stfu or quit dude. Who's gonna fault pros with money on the line to squeeze out every advantage possible. If you cant find fun in this game, playing a variety of fighters with ur friends, having fun fight nights, or playing in KL....just fucken quit please.
@@HoEuphoria ikr such an amazing game. I wish they just kept MKX mechanics and changed some things around new characters and stuff. MKX was so entertaining to watch and to play I just haven’t had what MKX was NRS are 0-2 for me.
their work is not very complicated, they just have to combine the best of mk9 and mkx, but instead we had the kameos with characters who cannot play without them
They can't accept that other people dont like their games, so they try their best to Say nah it's good when it's not. Exactly like cod fans, they can't accept that latest cod entries sucks ass
Mk1 is a let down I gave up after 1 month... It was fun but got repetitive... On the final... I always thought they should got rid of fatal blows but comparing thus tournament to when sonic cane back against ninja in that final when ninja got 3 blows in one round.. That was way more entertaining than mk1.... Kameos make everything too safe
MK1 in general is awful to watch. They really lost the plot with this game. I wish WB would just let NRS go. That way, if we ever did get another MK game, it won't be made by the current developers.
Great video and content as always. You hit the nail on the head yet again. The only reason why I even bothered watching Final Kombat this past weekend was because I enjoy the SonicFox and NinjaKilla rivalry but mainly to see if another character besides Johnny or Peacemaker would win. I was so disappointed when people that didn’t use those characters lost. I even got excited when I watched an Ashrah player win the LCQ. After this season of DLC is done I’m going to just let the game collect dust in my PC library. I’m just gonna do the combo trials (yet again) and once I’m done with them I’ll be uninstalling the game immediately. I have never played MK competitively but it has always been the game I enjoyed playing outside of the games that I actually do play competitively. Keep up the good work and I will continue to support you and your content. Idgaf how the MK community sees you. All that matters to me is how I see you and to me you’re one of the unsung heroes within that community.
Sad part is, I wouldn't want Khameleon nerfed. She is the only kameo that people tend to use her entire kit and the way people play changes depending on which form she is currently in. No other kameo can say that. It's unsafe move into special and every single person plays this way. And that in and of itself is not an issue. The problem, is that they have several other moves in their arsenal. Yet they are never ever used. The main character isn't even the main character. The kameo doesn't even matter. The kameo move is what is being selective, then everything forms around that one singular move.
I think NRS will not change his "yes man" policy cause they don't care about the competitive scene like other companies. They know 2025 will announce the new game for 2026 so mk1 sales are already done. Next game is their priority now. Great video btw.
The problem is that: A) - you’re expecting rationality from a lot of extremely irrational people. & B) - you are expecting things to change from a company that has outright refused to do so at every single opportunity given to them. And because NRS won’t change, then sadly the poor quality content made directly by them won’t change. This franchise is dead, and they’re willfully burning it up the ground. It’s time to let Mortal Kombat die and move something else. Because at this point, it’s painfully obvious that those working at NRS, including Crazy Ed himself, are closed minded and simply don’t care. The only way this franchise can ever truly be salvaged is if they give the rights back to John Tobias since it’s *his* creation and not Ed’s, fire Ed Boon completely and his entire team, remove *all* games from Deadly Alliance up until now from canon and *only* keep MK 1-4 plus Mythologies as canon, and do a completely new story with John writing it. But that’s just never going to happen. So, unfortunately, we are at an impasse with this colossal mess of a franchise. And the numbers are showing quite clearly that it’s beyond dead.
Netherrealm is owned by Warner brothers. They don't have total Control. Honestly, in this world, we need another fighting game from an indie company that can get the job done..
Yo alone on this one, I love playing Homelander and other characters in this universe and if you complain about it, your one of the reasons mk isn’t fun, community is horse shit why shit on it instead of encouraging the game
Nah, guest characters are awesome. It makes it lame when there isn't character coming that you aren't interested in , especially when you know how they will play.
Everything looks unpleasant and unfun visually anyways. And it's why I don't like when mk tries to go for the more realistic asthetics just to increase poly detail.
@@passingRakz954 Honestly Mortal kombat Game-play wise has had a identity and consistency issue for sometime. Also wasn't Mk11 also disliked for how it handled stuff like the Meter system? Splitting to defense and offense while making the meters automatically fill removing any risk? Making basically you require to spam specials and supers for casuals to have spectacle with no effort?
NRS balancing fighters and kameos is laughable at this point they have no idea what there doing. I don't mind kameos but balancing them so ones aren't strongest and weakest would help
Because the games problems are beyond the kameos. Pretty sure Tom made a few videos on that as well. Even if nrs somehow fixes the kameos to all be on the same level, the game would still have problems without the mechanics that assist games have.... that mk1 doesn't. The whole game needs rehaul
I was at work and tooned in when i could, but i couldn't tell what part of the tourney i was watching. like peacekeeper and johnny cage every set is wild lol
Reminds me of the good old mkx Tanya top 8 days. How come Cyrax didn't show? Wasn't he buffed lately? Also, the closing statement really is the saddest bit. It really feels like most people can't conceive that criticism comes from a place of love for the franchise. Most content creators I've seen who don't have surface level criticism towards NRS, always mention how much they love the franchise. Often including mk9 and mkx.
Thanks for always keeping it real, bro. For a while I thought I was just getting older & running out of time for games, but mk1 is DEVASTATING. Went back to sf6 and had nothing but a smile on my face. Hype is still there…MK1 is a slow burn that’s already melted the candle
Rewind always plays someone different and makes that character cool. We should have: Jax, Jackie, Noob, Cyrax and other playable characters. Why would you reduce Jax to a cameo?
Kameos are literally the worst thing to be added because it just makes people play one meta character johnny cage and then never change because why play a character that you like when you can play a character you can easily win with 😂
I was unfamiliar with your game, so I thought this was gonna be just ankther video of someone going out their way to hate on the game lol. Now that I watched this video, I can tell you that you are 100%, absolutely, positively correct about every single thing you discussed. I couldn't agree with you more about literally everything you talked about. We need more people like you. Not just in this community, but EVERY community. It's rare for people to keep it real these days. Hats off to you and keep up the good work!
I don't care what anyone says, I agree with you, but nerf Johnny and Peacemaker so bad that I never see them again. That tournament was a 6 pack of ASS.
They really expected me to be hyped for 2 Supermen leftover characters from a cancelled Injustice (gameplay-wise, I don't know nothing about the characters in the shows)
Just play the fucken game and stfu or quit dude. Who's gonna fault pros with money on the line to squeeze out every advantage possible. If you cant find fun in this game, playing a variety of fighters with ur friends, having fun fight nights, or playing in KL....just fucken quit please.
Tom, what would you say for the idea of Kameos being usable like Fatal Blows - something like... 2 times a game or even spread it by 1 use per round. Even if they raise the impact of the Kameo, make them OP AF, but usable twice per match. Then we'll have the mindgames of "is he gonna cover their a$$ with Kameo, or not" and we won't have to see constant safety caused by broken and spammable Kameos.
I have said before the game released that it will be half dead within a year and KIDS were mocking me. What happened kids ya all mute now?😂😂😂😂😂😂 You sir earned a subscriber
I absolutely agree with you 150%! I just made a video talking about how I felt about Final Kombat last night and it essentially mirrored everything you said here. So out of 513 possible teams that they could have chose from, the competitors only chose 2 teams for 95% of the entire top 8... With Homelander there are 532 potential teams to play with... But even then only 2 teams are viable for pro competition. Ridiculous... absolutely ridiculous. They really need to bring the other characters to the level of Johnny and Peacemaker to where they can stand on their own. They also just need to redesign the Kameo characters so they can match the recharge rate of Khameleon and have the same amount of tools that she gives to the characters.
Everything mentioned in this video is, in my opinion, what is starting to become prevalent everywhere. Gaslighting the already corrupt powers in order to stay popular and make a profit, while the true people get to watch their favorite franchises fail. As a Star Wars fan as well, it is kind of sad lol
Never realized how many people disliked Mk11... the guest characters kept me satisified (Robo, Rambo and i ran a FUJIN) Mk10 was decent aswell... but something about the RUSH launch of MK1 gave me cause to pause and now... 1 year later.... HOLY COW I DODGED A BULLET 😳😲😯‼️

Ed isn’t going to change anything. Why would he? This game was a cash cow for WB and NRS. And as ridiculous as this game is it all started back with MKX and no matter what they keep pushing out consumers keep buying it. So why would Ed change anything? He’s laughing at us all the way to the bank
@TheBanished_Gaming only a cash cow because people be stupid and buy it anyways.
Missing out on a new mk or whatever won't kill anyone.
Even a former fan like me abandoned the franchise because I got tired of netherealm and wb games practices and how they pushed mk the past decade or two.
@@TheBanished_Gaming Competitors, and repetition like this.
MKX was a golden child, for all of it's problems there was still massive amounts of content, and great characters to learn.
MK11 still kept that content, but they fucked up the fighting, however the player base was still loyal.
Here though with something like this, having 591 recurring streams compared to the thousands your competitors have over is only going to hurt the pockets in the long run.
Mortal Kombat isn't a monopoly, they have SF and Tekken to contend with. And even though both of those games have been out, they clearly attract and maintain more players than MK. If ED were to just laugh to the bank, he'd start questioning why the check is getting lower. Because with shit like this, the player base is dropping.
@@DondonII that was the most lucid, well thought of response to anything I’ve ever posted on any channel. Not only did you make a legitimate counter argument to my comment but you also made me question my own position on the subject. I too find it hard to see any situation where Ed or WB can continue in the direction they are currently taking with MK1 and have any hope of retaining much more of the fanbase. Tekken 8 and SF6 both stumbled on their way as well but they were able to recover far quicker than MK1. I say that feciously because MK1 has yet to recover from several issues that plagued it from day 1.
I find it utterly ridiculous that a KP2 and story expansion are still in the pipeline to be released given the fact that the player base has been reduced to a shell of what it has been in previous titles, as you said streams are almost non existent because the fans find the game boring, and the players find it boring. Adding more characters and content is the last thing they need to focus on. Fixing the game itself first then adding more content should be the way they go.
Like I said earlier I have not seen a response like yours that was well thought out and full of facts in a long time and it was refreshing to see.
Props to faysal playing who he actually likes
There was a few where he went to Peacemaker too lol but the Kitana was nice to see

@@katz9853the second reply already told him that dumb ass. Read the thread before replying.
I'm also a lifelong fan. Started with MK in the arcades, every home console port, all the way through the 3D and era up to present. It definitely saddens me that I haven't truly loved an MK game since X. For better or for worse that's the last time I remember genuinely being exciting not just play, but also watch, learn from tech videos, and anticipate who was gonna show off a previously slept on character or variation. I hope I can regain that excitement again one day about MK 😢
Probably the worst stream of a tournament I’ve ever seen
MK1 is cooked.
The 1 year anniversary is coming and things are still not going in the right direction.
I remember the days of MK9. People had a real love and dedication for that game. I haven't seen that in the NRS community in a long time.
The MK11 toxic fanbase came and cried nerf on everything 💯 MK9 was so dope because it was broken
Injustice 1 had real love too
MKX?
I didn't think it was possible, but this game might actually be less enjoyable than MK11. Yikes
All of Broseph’s matches were absolutely amazing to watch, AND THAT WAS IT.
Edit: Also VGY was great too
Man had me on the edge of my seat.
It was hype when Ninja picked liu, but unfortunately he committed to the boring peacemaker meta too
Yeah bro Broseph was a top tier Quan Chi. But most of the tournament that was fun for me because of Ninja, Broseph, Kani, and zeeus. Those guys in my opinion were the life of the party. Everyone else was so boring and bland. And...too much peacemaker😭😭
Faysal also cuz he used Kitana
I haven't played this game in weeks. Played last night was like "why am I playing this stupid game?" 😂
Obviously you wanted to play it....don't kid yourself

same, haven't played since quan chi release and tried to pick it back up a few weeks ago. As i'm labbing some of the new kameos, it hit me, this game is boring
💯 been off mk1 and back on mkx and let me tell u , there’s still competitive players online and get to play all characters without fearing a counter pick or whatever
When homelander got a move that changes properties based on counter hit I screamed at Ed boon that every character should have a normal and a special move that does that
it doesn’t even work like they said it would tho, he can combo off back 3 anytime no matter what
@@cmoney3212 yeah and sareena makes it even easier
I miss Mortal Kombat. Ninjas, sorcerers, good stage music, dark tone, stage transitions, stage fatalities, multiple alities, mk 3 outfits (the real ones) no cameos, no variations, no assists, no guess characters, great combos
I don't mind variations tho

Didn't buy that shit last mk i got was mkX i love itttttttt
MK1 is awful to watch. I think it's actually (maybe) worse than MK11
It’s definitely worse lmao and I wasn’t even crazy about mk11
Visually and design wise it's 100% worse that's what I'm missing the most I don't like the charecter design and I don't like the DLC they're too kids friendly and dumb looking..
@@tsvetelin6556i won't say kid friendly,more nothing special like all the dlc1 characters from street fighter 6 have their own identity and doesn't clash each other out since their gameplay are competely different. Mk1 dlc have 2 superman clone and 3 returned character that 2 of them should have been in the main roster bc they already shown in the main story and play parts of it. The only one that's remotely interesting is Peacemaker bc he do more than just 1-2 same combo and doesn't relied on Kameo to do high damage combo
Mustard and ketchup trying to hype up the yolo torpedo was the most cringe thing ever
At this point, they may as well come out with a balance patch and an overhaul for MK 11 and forget about this game
What bro mk 1 is so much better than mk 11
@@cindylima2686... Only think mk1 is better than mk11 is the removal of some gameplay mechanics like the break away and get up role .and no charge super meter. Other than that .

best state the game has ever been in, clearly
I still don't understand why they can't just give awesome tools to all the characters...

@@earlthepearl6414 maybe but keep asking for change complaints not going to change anything especially with the bad history of nrs WB Mk games
Because then every character would be the same and that’d be boring. The biggest problem with MK11 and MK1 is that they’re taking away character archetypes and it’s making the game very watered down and boring.
It watched the whole tournament. It was all Johnny and Peacemakers. NRS sucks at balancing their games.
Agreed
It's a shame to create 30ish characters and close to 20 Kameos with 90% of them being ignored. They should want to do something about that. Not just nerfing the top characters but buffing others so people will want to use them.
Textbook example as to why gamebalance is important. The casuals see this and either lose interest in the game or start playing only the small selection of characters on display. You can't hide bad balance anymore.
I was waiting for this one. Final Kombat was the worst tournament I've ever seen.
i went to the tournament in person and had a great time loool it was super hyped when ninja switched to liu but i completely understand where you’re coming from
Makes me miss mkx even more. Man that was the glory days
U cans till play that game and find good players online , I myself went back to it and still find some good players and a lot of players from back then still playing
@@pjefsquadbro I might have to boot it back up. The hype, speed and competition was unmatched. That was very first competitive mk game that I played.

Injustice 1 is what I wish people still played some do but not a ton
MK9 was the best for me..MKX was a good continuation even though I had issues with it.. but thats personal bias against run, variations and the UI design etc. I'm picky for what "Mortal Kombat" is to me. Watching MK Tom Brady Mk9 and MKX subzero was the shit though.

Mk1 is a let down I gave up after 1 month... It was fun but got repetitive... On the final... I always thought they should got rid of fatal blows but comparing thus tournament to when sonic cane back against ninja in that final when ninja got 3 blows in one round.. That was way more entertaining than mk1.... Kameos make everything too safe
I gave up like 6 months ago. This game is not worth it anymore
Pressure on top of pressure
Fatal blows are bogus. You’re getting your ass kicked and I can’t use a projectile now without worrying about a multi armored no cost 35% cinematic
@@geezus7678 it was still more entertaining to watch though
MK1 in general is awful to watch. They really lost the plot with this game. I wish WB would just let NRS go. That way, if we ever did get another MK game, it won't be made by the current developers.
Was too busy watching Champions of the Realms.
Great video and content as always. You hit the nail on the head yet again. The only reason why I even bothered watching Final Kombat this past weekend was because I enjoy the SonicFox and NinjaKilla rivalry but mainly to see if another character besides Johnny or Peacemaker would win. I was so disappointed when people that didn’t use those characters lost. I even got excited when I watched an Ashrah player win the LCQ. After this season of DLC is done I’m going to just let the game collect dust in my PC library. I’m just gonna do the combo trials (yet again) and once I’m done with them I’ll be uninstalling the game immediately. I have never played MK competitively but it has always been the game I enjoyed playing outside of the games that I actually do play competitively. Keep up the good work and I will continue to support you and your content. Idgaf how the MK community sees you. All that matters to me is how I see you and to me you’re one of the unsung heroes within that community.
Won’t be playing this in 10 years like MKX. 9 years after release MKX is still hype to watch and play.
Sad part is, I wouldn't want Khameleon nerfed. She is the only kameo that people tend to use her entire kit and the way people play changes depending on which form she is currently in. No other kameo can say that. It's unsafe move into special and every single person plays this way. And that in and of itself is not an issue. The problem, is that they have several other moves in their arsenal. Yet they are never ever used. The main character isn't even the main character. The kameo doesn't even matter. The kameo move is what is being selective, then everything forms around that one singular move.
Wait, EVO MK 11 was all Fujin. It happens all the time
we saw some other characters, liu kang, sub zero, nightwolf, terminator, joker, robocop, kotal khan,kabal...
cap, it was all fujin fr
I feel bad for the pros and content creators putting their time into this game.
they are like hookers
they want to quit but it is their lively hood
so they cant
I stand with you Tom. 100%
I think NRS will not change his "yes man" policy cause they don't care about the competitive scene like other companies. They know 2025 will announce the new game for 2026 so mk1 sales are already done. Next game is their priority now. Great video btw.
The problem is that:
A) - you’re expecting rationality from a lot of extremely irrational people.
&
B) - you are expecting things to change from a company that has outright refused to do so at every single opportunity given to them.
And because NRS won’t change, then sadly the poor quality content made directly by them won’t change.
This franchise is dead, and they’re willfully burning it up the ground. It’s time to let Mortal Kombat die and move something else. Because at this point, it’s painfully obvious that those working at NRS, including Crazy Ed himself, are closed minded and simply don’t care.
The only way this franchise can ever truly be salvaged is if they give the rights back to John Tobias since it’s *his* creation and not Ed’s, fire Ed Boon completely and his entire team, remove *all* games from Deadly Alliance up until now from canon and *only* keep MK 1-4 plus Mythologies as canon, and do a completely new story with John writing it. But that’s just never going to happen. So, unfortunately, we are at an impasse with this colossal mess of a franchise. And the numbers are showing quite clearly that it’s beyond dead.
Thank you for keeping the conversation alive. I miss when NRS was on top
I could not WAIT for ur take on final kombat 🤣
I knew you'd be back, Sith Lord Tom 🤣🤣🤣
Everytime I see these videos I just think to myself “Thank god I waited to see what NRS was going to do with this title before I bought it”
Great video, Tom. The first competitive fighting game match I saw was you vs Perfect Legend in MK9. It was a fun game back then.
I'll be real sad if tom brady doesn't make any more videos. U r our number one fighter man. I mean literal fighter for what we all love
They just need to stop doing guess characters it's just not fun at this point I'm sure the community wouldn't mind a whole mk roster
Netherrealm is owned by Warner brothers.
They don't have total Control. Honestly, in this world, we need another fighting game from an indie company that can get the job done..
Yo alone on this one, I love playing Homelander and other characters in this universe and if you complain about it, your one of the reasons mk isn’t fun, community is horse shit why shit on it instead of encouraging the game
@@loverodriguez2600Stupid, apparently 34 people agreed with him. And I do think it’s DUMB to add caped super hero’s. Put them in Injustice, not MK!
Nah, guest characters are awesome. It makes it lame when there isn't character coming that you aren't interested in , especially when you know how they will play.
Well i loved the slasher film guest characters in mkX but things have goten ridiculous over the years ngl.
Now that this tournament is over I wonder if and when Cyrax will get nerfed again
He has been nerfed
Not only is Peacemaker unbalanced, he's also absolutely unpleasant and unfun to look at.
Johnny is at least an actual MK character
100% agree!!!
Everything looks unpleasant and unfun visually anyways.
And it's why I don't like when mk tries to go for the more realistic asthetics just to increase poly detail.
The game’s designs are all lazy and boring, they totally threw away what they had in mk11 and mkX

Honestly Mortal kombat Game-play wise has had a identity and consistency issue for sometime.
Also wasn't Mk11 also disliked for how it handled stuff like the Meter system?
Splitting to defense and offense while making the meters automatically fill removing any risk?
Making basically you require to spam specials and supers for casuals to have spectacle with no effort?
Tom can you do a video where you explain which MK is the most balanced?
Is it MK11 or MKX currently?
What a complete bore-fest it was. I hate OP character mirror matches in tournaments.
How Tom is trying so hard not to say the kameos are the problem surprises me
You must be new here. Check out his other videos. He explains all of the games current issues which also include the Kameos.
NRS balancing fighters and kameos is laughable at this point they have no idea what there doing. I don't mind kameos but balancing them so ones aren't strongest and weakest would help
Because the games problems are beyond the kameos. Pretty sure Tom made a few videos on that as well. Even if nrs somehow fixes the kameos to all be on the same level, the game would still have problems without the mechanics that assist games have.... that mk1 doesn't. The whole game needs rehaul
Is the pro series their biggest tournament? I missed it. There’s SF tourneys every week
I was at work and tooned in when i could, but i couldn't tell what part of the tourney i was watching. like peacekeeper and johnny cage every set is wild lol
Its going to look stupid if they nerf Cyrax back to unusable and keep Kham the same
Reminds me of the good old mkx Tanya top 8 days.
How come Cyrax didn't show?
Wasn't he buffed lately?
Also, the closing statement really is the saddest bit.
It really feels like most people can't conceive that criticism comes from a place of love for the franchise.
Most content creators I've seen who don't have surface level criticism towards NRS, always mention how much they love the franchise.
Often including mk9 and mkx.
Thanks for always keeping it real, bro. For a while I thought I was just getting older & running out of time for games, but mk1 is DEVASTATING. Went back to sf6 and had nothing but a smile on my face. Hype is still there…MK1 is a slow burn that’s already melted the candle
Honestly soon as I heard mk1 will have kameos I knew it wasn’t going to be good
Rewind always plays someone different and makes that character cool. We should have: Jax, Jackie, Noob, Cyrax and other playable characters. Why would you reduce Jax to a cameo?
Kameos are literally the worst thing to be added because it just makes people play one meta character johnny cage and then never change because why play a character that you like when you can play a character you can easily win with 😂
As a 3rd strike player, seeing people complain about the top 8 being only 2 characters is very funny.
I was unfamiliar with your game, so I thought this was gonna be just ankther video of someone going out their way to hate on the game lol. Now that I watched this video, I can tell you that you are 100%, absolutely, positively correct about every single thing you discussed. I couldn't agree with you more about literally everything you talked about. We need more people like you. Not just in this community, but EVERY community. It's rare for people to keep it real these days. Hats off to you and keep up the good work!
I don't care what anyone says, I agree with you, but nerf Johnny and Peacemaker so bad that I never see them again. That tournament was a 6 pack of ASS.

Tom, what would you say for the idea of Kameos being usable like Fatal Blows - something like... 2 times a game or even spread it by 1 use per round. Even if they raise the impact of the Kameo, make them OP AF, but usable twice per match. Then we'll have the mindgames of "is he gonna cover their a$$ with Kameo, or not" and we won't have to see constant safety caused by broken and spammable Kameos.
Tom just dropping the MK1 equivalent of the CM Punk pipe bomb
EWC qualifier for street fighter 6 had 8 different characters in top 8. which made it SUPER FUN TO WATCH. MK1 is absolute sleep potion to watch.
makes me feel better about missing out on the Sub skin.
The "sea of people" in the crowd was hilarious
I have said before the game released that it will be half dead within a year and KIDS were mocking me.
What happened kids ya all mute now?😂😂😂😂😂😂
You sir earned a subscriber
Ever since Inj2 NRS has become incredibly lazy in their design, now they will reduce a characters hp by 50 hit points and call it a day
Must admit that was one of the worst grand finals I've ever watched.
Is it to late for this game to turn things around or can that be done with a season 2 to fix the major issues people have
I absolutely agree with you 150%! I just made a video talking about how I felt about Final Kombat last night and it essentially mirrored everything you said here. So out of 513 possible teams that they could have chose from, the competitors only chose 2 teams for 95% of the entire top 8... With Homelander there are 532 potential teams to play with... But even then only 2 teams are viable for pro competition. Ridiculous... absolutely ridiculous. They really need to bring the other characters to the level of Johnny and Peacemaker to where they can stand on their own. They also just need to redesign the Kameo characters so they can match the recharge rate of Khameleon and have the same amount of tools that she gives to the characters.
there's a 90% chance they'll never do this, they'll just nerf everyone
Now this is the Tom i miss, unapologetic, vulgar, brutally honest
Everything mentioned in this video is, in my opinion, what is starting to become prevalent everywhere. Gaslighting the already corrupt powers in order to stay popular and make a profit, while the true people get to watch their favorite franchises fail. As a Star Wars fan as well, it is kind of sad lol
Thank you for making this video!
Never realized how many people disliked Mk11... the guest characters kept me satisified (Robo, Rambo and i ran a FUJIN) Mk10 was decent aswell... but something about the RUSH launch of MK1 gave me cause to pause and now... 1 year later.... HOLY COW I DODGED A BULLET 😳😲😯‼️
They need to try to stop trying to make this shit a legitimately balanced fighting game.
