Mk1 is awesome. Get off the bandwagon and try it out. Most of the things people were complaining about were fixed months ago. I own all these games, they're all arguably 3 of the best fighting games ever.
I bought MK1 out of nostalgia, and partially from all the fun I got out of channels like yours, sonicxd and 4th snake to a degree. Never felt so burned. If you have a casual interest in fighting games, as i do, like story modes and such, best to wait for the big discounts lol. Live and learn.
I’m honestly having more fun with Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6 than I am with Mortal Kombat 1. And I grew up more with Mortal Kombat than the other two. I don’t think MK1 is completely terrible as other people say it is, but it is definitely not as good as Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6. Tekken 8: 8.5/10 Street Fighter 6: 9.5/10 Mortal Kombat 1: 7/10
Yeah the world tour story was generic but honestly the open world made up for it. The fact the avatar can mix up different combos from any character is amazing 🔥
world tour sucked ass but the arcade mode and gameplay made up for it in spades oh the arcade and general matches are so good and i even enjoyed world tour up untill it became grindy as hell and i repeated the same combo over and over on those opponents who had insane amounts of health for some reason i would have preferred if avatars were just like normal characters and didnt have weird health or damage cause i prefer the normal battles where i dont have to open damage boosters and health items every 5 seconds
I think world tour was a great addition to sf. You can create and customize your own character and they have their own story. You're able to interact with everyone, learn their moves, know about them through dialogue and fight along side them. You can fight in tournaments. Unlock premium awards. There's something nice about creating your own character and having your own story while being able to be the disciple of every character in the games. You can actually fight around the world which is funny because it reminds me of that russell crowe episode from south park and it's also cool too.

@bdo333 same spawn was the best guest NRS has ever done nwxt to Kratos, the ones we have in 1 aren't doing anything for me and the leaked ones are just baffling
I always love hearing your takes. I dont really play fighting games like that, but i love all three titles. MK definitely stepped up with the story, but I've seen the issues that people have with the gameplay. Tekken has a story that I've been wishing for them to flesh out more than just the family issue thing. Tekken has always felt great to play, though. Street Fighter. I have always just wanted to see the next chapter for the characters. The gameplay for me was always a bit semi-solid. Great video. Im subscribed, but somehow, you got drowned out of my algorithm until now.
Gameplay Tekken, den said it all. Story mode MK (MKs worst is better than SF and T best) Single player mode SF, I don’t own the game but I can see that the world tour and the masters is sick Graphics, den said it all Soundtrack, Tekken is great. First Tekken in a while that I barely touched the jukebox Overall, Tekken. I deleted MK, story done the game was done. The combat didn’t keep me. SF6 isn’t getting bought until it’s on sale with dlc bundles and even then I won’t play it more than Tekken.
Straight up SF6 deserved fighting game of the year(2023)...MKs fighting choreography and cinematography blows others out the water always but the gameplay was some garb NEVER been disappointed in a MK game until I seen MK1s gameplay ..Tekken delivered as well
since that's Harada it's not happening Gaming in general needs to stop cutting corners and hire writers for real and not have consultants MK1 has writers, but SF and Tekken don't obviously due to lack of writers.
The people saying SF6 has good music need to listen to actually good soundtracks more. It's serviceable, but nothing more than that. Honestly, almost any character theme from Guilty Gear Strive clears the entirety of SF6's ost.
I feel like sf6 is more like "I like this music, just not in a fighting game". I have alot of goods with sf6 but they're soundtracks opposite to what I want to hear in a fighting game
Also this shows how over Baraka got in mk1! Tekken needed more screen time for their characters considering Baraka had 2 chapters worth of screentime and it was enough
Baraka was better if he was a villain in Mk1. The problem is that they made him into a good guy so that he is not a jobber. We need villains that can defeat good guys in story.
@@guillermogarcin9529 Personally I disagree, good guy Baraka is so much better than jobber bad guy Baraka considering he was just a henchman since his debut. I do agree with villains needing their own wins and chapters, just look at how trash Sub-Zero became as soon as he turned heel.
@@shafeal-subaie7731 It's better he is a bad guy from another clan who is the leader. It's just NRS, they don't know how to make Villains to be powerful. At least Tekken Kazuya is powerful and a threat to the world.
Yep. I agree about the visuals cinematically with MK1. When the game is out of your control, the game looks its best. The music with current MK's....yep it's almost nonexistent. But I will say I LOVE the SF6 music. Not nearly as much as Tekken8 but I do love Zangief's, DeeJay, Kimberly, and the Recent AKUMA Theme.
Better story will always be Mortal Kombat for a long time. Mortal Kombat 1 had more character development. Baraka, Li Mei, Ashrah, Reptile and Kenshi stepped up. Yes the ending was awful with Shang Tsung being the final boss instead of Onaga and went full MCU but in most parts it was better than Tekken 8 in terms of the story. Per usual, Asuka done nothing, we didn't see Bryan finish his feud with Yoshimitsu, Nina is Nina, Jun was there for 40 seconds in Jin's dreams, Paul and Law turned on each other because of money.
To have side characters with story development. It doesn't mean it's better than TK8 story. We have plenty of Movies, novels, vidéo games and tv shows to focus only one main character like TK8. Those are very good and better than MK1 story.
The story mode of the three are bad. >MK1 is just MCU slop >SF6 story mode is unfinished and focus too much on (you) instead of the actual main cast. >T8 is a very linear story where you watch Jin navigate through more Mishima family drama.
This is the best review I’ve seen for the big 3. Great content man. And am I the only one who would love to have MK Shaolin Monks remastered on the new gen? I literally bought a PS2 and an adapter just to play it lol
@@hurricane7727 facts man. Man what I’d give for a remaster. Instead I’m stuck with my PS2 and old ass graphics. Don’t even get me started on the fact that I gotta share my screen 💀
In defense of Tekken’s story, the actual storytelling and presentation is 100x better than M1K’s but the lore and cast are done little to no service (unless they’re tied to the Mishima’s). We’re talking 20+ years of buildup culminating into this (meanwhile MK has flushed 2 timelines down the toilet just like they currently are with the timeline they just started). T8 was Jin’s story just like how MK typically has a poster child for each game. M1K and DA are two of the only games that don’t really have a “main” character. Tekken 8’s story pays off everything it sets up in with insanely hype and emotional battles with legitimate consequences on the arc of their characters. M1K fell off by the time it got to the Lin Kuei chapters and before it even jumped shark with that Oprah Titan shit. Focusing on so many character arcs was admirable but In retrospect, it did the story a disservice to not have a clear protagonist. Resulting in just another reason why those final few chapters feel like such a shit show. It’s really too bad. M1K is incredibly hit or miss with it’s character writing and the slideshow picture endings being canon is sick af. Meanwhile Tekken writes like 5 characters brilliantly and just makes a joke out of the rest and the fully rendered cinematic endings are all just non canon gag endings. In a perfect world we could have the best aspects of both. Also in a perfect world, MK would have stayed 3D and taken more notes from Tekken >:)
As far as story mode.... I AM one of those ppl who waited since Tekken 2 for Jun to come back. And I think they did it the worst way possible in T8. It would've worked if it was just her spirit in Jin's mind. Then you beat the game and find out she's actually alive, undoing the moment that made Ogre a legend in the seminal T3, and making her look like a bad mom, and Jin stupid. They left too much of Reina for the next game, and if Jun is gonna try to save Kaz in T9, that means we have to wait 8 years to see if they screw it up again. I also agree about the end of MK1, and I too was very salty that it wasn't Onaga. He's teased for MK"2", but he's so big that I can't imagine him fighting Shao for the throne. He doesn't have his brilliant mind, he's just a huge beast, not fit to rule Outworld for millenia. BUT, while we all came to the T8 story to see what happens between Jin and Kaz, THATS THE PROBLEM. MK story: excellent with a few huge misses. Tekken story: huge miss with a few excellent moments. But it's highest points were prob better than MKs. However, like the video says, you cant win if the score is 3-12
Jun was also Playable in Tekken Tag Tournament Games and Tekken Revolution. I liked her Ttt2 reappearance in the Games Arcade intro.. also in Ttt2 wii u Edition she has a Exclusive outfit
Gameplay for me is MK1. Game still plays like a Mortal Kombat game. But I actually do like the Kameo system. I love how a character can do what they do and with each Kameo their game plan and play style changes. New combo routes and all that. I like it. And the fact that it’s like this with EVERYONE on the roster is crazy work. I can still hop on MK1 do my long combos and feel happy because this is MY TEAM. I found this out. I didn’t watch videos to see what Kameo pairs best I found this stuff out. And then another person would be using another pairing and I’m like “yoooo I didn’t know can do that!” Lol. Gameplay is MK1 for sure imo.
@@xavierhouston4650Hey! Guy told what I think is a joke? Jokes are supposed to be funny! No one asked for his commentary. Nobody laughed reading his comment! He just comes off as a loser on the internet!
@@notjack_official1153 Of course it'd be predictable. She's related to Jin and Jun, she automatically should've had a more important role in the story purely because she's a Kazama.
MK is 1st in giving the arenas a backstory and lore of the realms making you want to explore the realms. Tekken to me only has a “Cliff” a volcano, the forest ecosystem and a temple.
Tekken 8 story mode plays out like a chunibyo type deal but i think it sets the future tekken universe into a new territory.. who is gonna call the next KING OF THE IRON FIST TOURNAMENT!!!
And I feel tekken 8 feels like a sequel to tekken 3 or 4... the music was very nostalgic and the new gameplay feels like it's a sequel to the original tekken gameplay.. and the character endings are reminiscent of tekken 1
Huge facts, my guy. MK1 is my favorite one, but I can't say I dislike any of these. They all have faults, but overall they're fun. That's all I want is to enjoy my time with the game I'm playing
I’ve been a MK fan since a child and will always support it… but damn does NRS need to step up their game up. It’s funny cause during the Midway Era they were over delivering with the amount of features each game had. I’m not saying bring back Chess Kombat but I do miss when these games had a little more release at production. I know live service is just the way things are now but that doesn’t mean they should slow down.
We were kinda spoiled by them at that point in time, I think nowadays all Boon cares about is making his DC vs. Marvel crossover that he’s been trying to make happen since Midway went bankrupt and he sold MK to WB. Since it hasn’t happened yet for him, he looks like he is just going on autopilot when it comes to MK, just rushing them out to make deadlines and money.
Yes, I really want to believe that the plot in mortal Kombat is better than in tekken. In tekken, everything really revolves around jin and kazuya, but is that so bad? In mortal Kombat, we are shown micro stories about many characters, but as a result of this red tape, which of them is the main character? Or should we consider the plot of mortal Kombat better because it slides into a squalid multiverse, by the way, which has been rubbed into us since the time of mk 9, as well as the brazen reuse of the boss from the dlc to mk 11? Returning to tekken, the last stage with the final battle looks great, from the music to the production, while in mortal kombat I have to make my way to shang tsung, which is no different from the version from the roster through shao -zero and a similar ridiculous fan service. I can accept everything, but to put the mortal Kombat plot higher, only because of the more elaborate secondary characters, while the entire second half of it looks ridiculous, this is beyond reasonable understanding.
Biggest problem with MK: constantly fixing what isn't broken. Konquest beloved and asked for in EVERY GAME? Fine, here's... Invasions. MK X is the mastered version of how every MK should play? Well, unlike Tekken and SF, you have to relearn your characters EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. MK11 allows 5 customize slots which you can swap from at any time? MK1 gives you the choice between ONE, or random. Tekken 8 has 10 slots per character. And most of the MK skins could be deleted. I dont need every color of my main's base skins. I dont need green/pink/orange/brown Kitana skins. She wears blue, white, black, and the occassional purple. And let's not forget charging us $10 for a skin that would've been unlockable in the Krypt back in the 2000s. MK FOUR handled skins better. But all that said, its still a great game. Its clear that it was rushed by WB, its clear things were cut so WB could charge extra for them. But come back to this game when the final version is done. THEN judge it. Remember, MK X was actually BETTER before its very final patch.
I'm a 43 Year old Gamer, and I respect your gangsta! But let me say this: Any REAL Fighting Game Fan, like you and I, wouldn't argue about which one is better; we'd talk about how much we fucking love them niggas Ryu, Kazuya, Sol, Ragna, Terry, Kyo, Morrigan, Haohmaru, Liu Kang, and rock the fuck out having fun! The only people arguing about which is better, aren't real Fighting Game Players, like us!
i never really good competitively in fighting game, but already play them all since SF2, MK3, and Tekken 2, and im eating good with the current gen titles
As slow who came from the MK community. I have to say that tekken is the best game right now, I stoped playing sf6 cause I hate the modern control system and I stopped playing mk1 cause it’s boring 🥲 at least tekken you’re always learning something and that’s why I love fighting games
For SF6, go listen to Fete Foraine, the stage themes are where it's at, & for MK1, listen to the night version of the Fengjian Teahouse, the round 2 segment is my fav part of the track!
I used to stand by mk being the best fighting game since I was like 6. After a few years of not playing the games I got really into mkx and mk11. But mk1 disappointed me so much I abandoned it for sf6 and tekken 8. I still don’t like street fighter but it’s objectively better than mk1. Tekken has become my favorite fighting game. Thank you for letting me yapp about my experience with fighting games.
World tour to me is kinda better than all the story modes, people don't exactly consider it a story mode cause of it focusing on your original character, but honestly, I think it's a breath of fresh air and a better direction, much like mk deception konquest mode, honestly movie like story mode, worked at first, but they got boring very quickly, and you'll hardly replay em, I really hope street fighter's konquest like mode will become the standard for story mode instead of movies.
Im a die hard MK fan but even I admit that Tekken and SF have raised the bar. Mk just can’t hold a candle to the other two except when it comes to story. But story doesn’t determine the longevity and overall enjoyment.
MK1 is awesome. Get off the bandwagon and try it out. Most of the things people were complaining about were fixed months ago. I own all these games, they're all arguably 3 of the best fighting games ever.
@deanbrooks7297 It's lots of fun, and it feels just as good if not better than all prior games. The hate it's receiving is vastly due to glitches and poor product quality at launch, most of which has been fixed. Regardless this speaks to none of the fundamentals of MK1 as a fighting game - which as a fighting game, it is quite good.
Best Gameplay: Tekken 8. Game's fun as hell. Playing this makes me hungry to play more. Best Story: Mortal Kombat 1. Honestly I haven't even played and/or seen all of it yet and I can tell u it's better than Tekken 8's Story by a mile. Tekken 8's story is decent. But it is still lacking in areas (PAUL! JUN! ASUKA! BRYAN! AND ESPECIALLY YOU LAW!) Best Single Player: Street Fighter 6. It's got some very interesting modes in here and I definitely want my CAC to learn from my favorites and have their fighting styles. Best Graphics: None of them look bad. They all look good. But if I absolutely HAD to pick a winner here, I'd pick Mortal Kombat 1 and it's a very VERY close fight graphically. Best Soundtrack: It was hard to pick a winner here too, but here it's because not all of the newer soundtracks are interesting like u said. But if I had to choose a winner, it'd be Tekken 8 for 2 reasons. Tekken 8 does have some stand out bangers in it, and because of the jukebox. Winner: In the end. It's a tough fight between Mortal Kombat 1 and Tekken 8. But my winner out of these three games is Tekken 8. To me Tekken 8 is the best fighting game out right now.
MK1's story was good for the first half, but once they started getting into the whole multiverse nonsense that's when I stopped liking it. Tekken 8 has the best story out of these 3, making Kazuya a powerful threat the entire game, getting the side characters involved, and giving a satisfying conclusion to the Mishima feud

2:Tekken 8
3:Mortal Kombat 1

Welp sf6 just a got a jukebox, so i feel like tekken and sf are at an even playing field when it comes to music now
Gameplay Tekken, den said it all.
Story mode MK (MKs worst is better than SF and T best)
Single player mode SF, I don’t own the game but I can see that the world tour and the masters is sick
Graphics, den said it all
Soundtrack, Tekken is great. First Tekken in a while that I barely touched the jukebox
Overall, Tekken. I deleted MK, story done the game was done. The combat didn’t keep me. SF6 isn’t getting bought until it’s on sale with dlc bundles and even then I won’t play it more than Tekken.
Straight up SF6 deserved fighting game of the year(2023)...MKs fighting choreography and cinematography blows others out the water always but the gameplay was some garb NEVER been disappointed in a MK game until I seen MK1s gameplay ..Tekken delivered as well
What is that bad about MK1? Honest question, i haven't played it, but it looks as awesome as MK11
Finally
I been waiting for a video that is comparing the big 3
The Voice Of Truth!
I've been a fan for YEARS...

Alternative video title: Fighters Den speaking facts for 38 minutes and 20 seconds straight
Like you are telling me he didn't spittin facts before?
8:51 Baraka and Reptile is smoking half of the Tekken cast in terms of character development! Whoever writing for Tekken should be fired 😂
There was a certain point in time where they just stopped developing the side characters’ stories and just focused on the Mishimas. I don’t get it.
since that's Harada it's not happening Gaming in general needs to stop cutting corners and hire writers for real and not have consultants MK1 has writers, but SF and Tekken don't obviously due to lack of writers.
Facts tekken is cool but I don’t think it’s better then mk 1 or sf 6 but yeah of course it’s a good game 🤷🏿♂️
@@taym510Oak
He's point was on story wise.. and yet you're saying "fact mk1 and sf6 are better games" 😂! like what?!
@@taym510Oakdefinitely better than mk1 coming from a mk fan
The people saying SF6 has good music need to listen to actually good soundtracks more. It's serviceable, but nothing more than that. Honestly, almost any character theme from Guilty Gear Strive clears the entirety of SF6's ost.
SFV ost is better than SF6
Ppl need to stop bashing sf6 music. Its basically sf3 ost bashing all over again.
I think SF6 does have good music.
@@in4mus85I think SFV is probably the 2nd best SF ost, right after Third Strike; it was great
I feel like sf6 is more like "I like this music, just not in a fighting game". I have alot of goods with sf6 but they're soundtracks opposite to what I want to hear in a fighting game
I have all 3 and dont regret buying any of em
Wrestling fans here indeed! Sick video Den, finally someone who isn’t biased
Bro the background song selection was fire imma need the names of these songs
RCPD from RE2, I think?
This channel is goated, don’t agree with any of it but it puts a smile on my face.
THANK YOU! I love T8 too, even with all the flaws. The fights are exciting. Heat system and all.
Ayo first time viewer but this was a banger
Mad respect for the use of FFT OST, that games is goated. and RE2 music
my guy fighter den did not miss with this lol
I agree with u 100% on Tekken gameplay 💪🏽 btw I'm waiting for my Muay Thai goat Fahkumram 🙏🏽
Also this shows how over Baraka got in mk1! Tekken needed more screen time for their characters considering Baraka had 2 chapters worth of screentime and it was enough
Baraka was better if he was a villain in Mk1. The problem is that they made him into a good guy so that he is not a jobber. We need villains that can defeat good guys in story.
@@guillermogarcin9529 Personally I disagree, good guy Baraka is so much better than jobber bad guy Baraka considering he was just a henchman since his debut. I do agree with villains needing their own wins and chapters, just look at how trash Sub-Zero became as soon as he turned heel.
@@shafeal-subaie7731 It's better he is a bad guy from another clan who is the leader. It's just NRS, they don't know how to make Villains to be powerful. At least Tekken Kazuya is powerful and a threat to the world.
@@shafeal-subaie7731Fr. Baraka always was a victim, so it never made sense to me that he was always a villain.
@@guillermogarcin9529maybe that's what what made aftermath interesting was because we got to see the bad guys win for once
Yep. I agree about the visuals cinematically with MK1. When the game is out of your control, the game looks its best. The music with current MK's....yep it's almost nonexistent. But I will say I LOVE the SF6 music. Not nearly as much as Tekken8 but I do love Zangief's, DeeJay, Kimberly, and the Recent AKUMA Theme.
Better story will always be Mortal Kombat for a long time. Mortal Kombat 1 had more character development. Baraka, Li Mei, Ashrah, Reptile and Kenshi stepped up. Yes the ending was awful with Shang Tsung being the final boss instead of Onaga and went full MCU but in most parts it was better than Tekken 8 in terms of the story. Per usual, Asuka done nothing, we didn't see Bryan finish his feud with Yoshimitsu, Nina is Nina, Jun was there for 40 seconds in Jin's dreams, Paul and Law turned on each other because of money.
To have side characters with story development. It doesn't mean it's better than TK8 story. We have plenty of Movies, novels, vidéo games and tv shows to focus only one main character like TK8. Those are very good and better than MK1 story.
The entire story of MK1 doesn’t make sense with Liu Kang in charge and only makes him look like a dick.
MK1 story is terrible
The story mode of the three are bad.
>MK1 is just MCU slop
>SF6 story mode is unfinished and focus too much on (you) instead of the actual main cast.
>T8 is a very linear story where you watch Jin navigate through more Mishima family drama.
Doesn’t matter if the story ending is sub par at best. That’s like having an amazing dancing routine until you bust your behind towards the end of it.
My prediction was on point for your choices and reasons.

This is the best review I’ve seen for the big 3. Great content man. And am I the only one who would love to have MK Shaolin Monks remastered on the new gen? I literally bought a PS2 and an adapter just to play it lol
💯
That and Mk Deception were the Best Ps2 Mk games To me
@@hurricane7727 facts man. Man what I’d give for a remaster. Instead I’m stuck with my PS2 and old ass graphics. Don’t even get me started on the fact that I gotta share my screen 💀
@@TheFightersDen you played Shaolin monks 👀
Music on the background is from one of the best ninja stealth game from psx Tenchu Shadow Assassins
I agree with this entire assessment lol. Definitely have the most fun with Tekken 8. Haven't wasted hours like this since Tekken 5 lol
When you mentioned looking in the manual for the story that shit took me back to pure nostalgia..
In defense of Tekken’s story, the actual storytelling and presentation is 100x better than M1K’s but the lore and cast are done little to no service (unless they’re tied to the Mishima’s).
We’re talking 20+ years of buildup culminating into this (meanwhile MK has flushed 2 timelines down the toilet just like they currently are with the timeline they just started). T8 was Jin’s story just like how MK typically has a poster child for each game. M1K and DA are two of the only games that don’t really have a “main” character. Tekken 8’s story pays off everything it sets up in with insanely hype and emotional battles with legitimate consequences on the arc of their characters. M1K fell off by the time it got to the Lin Kuei chapters and before it even jumped shark with that Oprah Titan shit. Focusing on so many character arcs was admirable but In retrospect, it did the story a disservice to not have a clear protagonist. Resulting in just another reason why those final few chapters feel like such a shit show.
It’s really too bad. M1K is incredibly hit or miss with it’s character writing and the slideshow picture endings being canon is sick af. Meanwhile Tekken writes like 5 characters brilliantly and just makes a joke out of the rest and the fully rendered cinematic endings are all just non canon gag endings.
In a perfect world we could have the best aspects of both. Also in a perfect world, MK would have stayed 3D and taken more notes from Tekken >:)
I've been waiting for a video like this
As far as story mode.... I AM one of those ppl who waited since Tekken 2 for Jun to come back. And I think they did it the worst way possible in T8. It would've worked if it was just her spirit in Jin's mind. Then you beat the game and find out she's actually alive, undoing the moment that made Ogre a legend in the seminal T3, and making her look like a bad mom, and Jin stupid. They left too much of Reina for the next game, and if Jun is gonna try to save Kaz in T9, that means we have to wait 8 years to see if they screw it up again.
I also agree about the end of MK1, and I too was very salty that it wasn't Onaga. He's teased for MK"2", but he's so big that I can't imagine him fighting Shao for the throne. He doesn't have his brilliant mind, he's just a huge beast, not fit to rule Outworld for millenia.
BUT, while we all came to the T8 story to see what happens between Jin and Kaz, THATS THE PROBLEM.
MK story: excellent with a few huge misses.
Tekken story: huge miss with a few excellent moments. But it's highest points were prob better than MKs. However, like the video says, you cant win if the score is 3-12
Jun was also Playable in Tekken Tag Tournament Games and Tekken Revolution. I liked her Ttt2 reappearance in the Games Arcade intro.. also in Ttt2 wii u Edition she has a Exclusive outfit
You didn't "find out" Jun was actually alive. Harada had been saying since 2010 and probably even earlier that Jun was alive. That one's on you.
Gameplay for me is MK1. Game still plays like a Mortal Kombat game. But I actually do like the Kameo system. I love how a character can do what they do and with each Kameo their game plan and play style changes. New combo routes and all that. I like it. And the fact that it’s like this with EVERYONE on the roster is crazy work. I can still hop on MK1 do my long combos and feel happy because this is MY TEAM. I found this out. I didn’t watch videos to see what Kameo pairs best I found this stuff out. And then another person would be using another pairing and I’m like “yoooo I didn’t know can do that!” Lol.
Gameplay is MK1 for sure imo.
Takeda and the story expansion will bring back alooot of players who thought the game was dead.

@@notjack_official1153 why would I say that
@@notjack_official1153 Of course it'd be predictable. She's related to Jin and Jun, she automatically should've had a more important role in the story purely because she's a Kazama.
@@bdo333 bc y'all tekken geeks would whine on everything
Great points, all of them
Now this is a video I've been waiting for, good vid! (Jin is a criminal)
MK is 1st in giving the arenas a backstory and lore of the realms making you want to explore the realms. Tekken to me only has a “Cliff” a volcano, the forest ecosystem and a temple.
Now MK is like Marvel
Lol, You havent played Tekken story I guess
You trippin
@@sayedomairsiam6344 close enough
Yeah in the older mk’s
Not in Mortal Diarrhea 1
Not gonna lie the resident evil Theme music Caught me off guard.I thought that I picked a resonant evil video for a minute
Tekken 8 Is Incredible
Street Fighter 6 Is Excellent
Mortal Kombat 1 Is Phenomenal
Lee Chaolan: Marvellous 🌹
M1K Phenomenal? Right LMFAO 🤣
Yes Indeed
True
Mk1 is dogchit
Tekken 8 story mode plays out like a chunibyo type deal but i think it sets the future tekken universe into a new territory.. who is gonna call the next KING OF THE IRON FIST TOURNAMENT!!!
And I feel tekken 8 feels like a sequel to tekken 3 or 4... the music was very nostalgic and the new gameplay feels like it's a sequel to the original tekken gameplay.. and the character endings are reminiscent of tekken 1
Fantastic video and I agree with you and that's coming from someone who's favorite series is KOF
I cracked up when he said, "let me stop wasting your time" than gave like 4 more examples of Tekken characters being less developed than mk.
Excellent content as usual my guy👏
I still play all three. I think people over exaggerating how bad mk1 is
Huge facts, my guy. MK1 is my favorite one, but I can't say I dislike any of these. They all have faults, but overall they're fun. That's all I want is to enjoy my time with the game I'm playing
Its not on the list but... Soundtrack? KI KI KI
It is lol watch the vid
I’ve been a MK fan since a child and will always support it… but damn does NRS need to step up their game up.
It’s funny cause during the Midway Era they were over delivering with the amount of features each game had.
I’m not saying bring back Chess Kombat but I do miss when these games had a little more release at production.
I know live service is just the way things are now but that doesn’t mean they should slow down.
I agree, they need to go back to overdelivering like back with Deception. The best MK kontent wise.
MK1’s existence needs to be eliminated and forgotten.
We were kinda spoiled by them at that point in time, I think nowadays all Boon cares about is making his DC vs. Marvel crossover that he’s been trying to make happen since Midway went bankrupt and he sold MK to WB.
Since it hasn’t happened yet for him, he looks like he is just going on autopilot when it comes to MK, just rushing them out to make deadlines and money.
Baraka had the story glow up of the year
Great analysis 👍
MK 1 doesn't have baby mode control schemes , you either get good or cry.
💯
Its a good thing MK is the easiest fighting game on the market right now.
Gonna pretend like kameo system doesn't exist?
@@hydra_drizz2164 out of every assist fighter on the market, mk has the easiest system.
@@Bkzflyest0823 ik
Yes, I really want to believe that the plot in mortal Kombat is better than in tekken. In tekken, everything really revolves around jin and kazuya, but is that so bad? In mortal Kombat, we are shown micro stories about many characters, but as a result of this red tape, which of them is the main character? Or should we consider the plot of mortal Kombat better because it slides into a squalid multiverse, by the way, which has been rubbed into us since the time of mk 9, as well as the brazen reuse of the boss from the dlc to mk 11? Returning to tekken, the last stage with the final battle looks great, from the music to the production, while in mortal kombat I have to make my way to shang tsung, which is no different from the version from the roster through shao -zero and a similar ridiculous fan service. I can accept everything, but to put the mortal Kombat plot higher, only because of the more elaborate secondary characters, while the entire second half of it looks ridiculous, this is beyond reasonable understanding.
In Mk Deception Shujinko was the Main Character clearly but The Characters still had a Great Story and Lore in their Bios
Hey what the name of music in beginning of vidéo ??
Eternal Champions
I was soooo scared you were gonna say tekken8 had the better story mode, thanks for not being a sheep
Biggest problem with MK: constantly fixing what isn't broken.
Konquest beloved and asked for in EVERY GAME? Fine, here's... Invasions.
MK X is the mastered version of how every MK should play? Well, unlike Tekken and SF, you have to relearn your characters EVERY. SINGLE. GAME.
MK11 allows 5 customize slots which you can swap from at any time? MK1 gives you the choice between ONE, or random. Tekken 8 has 10 slots per character. And most of the MK skins could be deleted. I dont need every color of my main's base skins. I dont need green/pink/orange/brown Kitana skins. She wears blue, white, black, and the occassional purple. And let's not forget charging us $10 for a skin that would've been unlockable in the Krypt back in the 2000s. MK FOUR handled skins better.
But all that said, its still a great game. Its clear that it was rushed by WB, its clear things were cut so WB could charge extra for them. But come back to this game when the final version is done. THEN judge it. Remember, MK X was actually BETTER before its very final patch.
Konquest and Chess Kombat( if not Konquest, Chess Kombat!) should have stayed in Every Mk post Deception
Mk1 story was great until the time stuff
Graphics- Tekken
Gameplay- SF6
Online - Tekken
Offline - SF6
Roster - MK1
Sf6 online is amazing the netcode is godlike
My Three Favorite Fighting Games I like how he talk he's speaking the truth about some people😊💯
I'm a 43 Year old Gamer, and I respect your gangsta! But let me say this: Any REAL Fighting Game Fan, like you and I, wouldn't argue about which one is better; we'd talk about how much we fucking love them niggas Ryu, Kazuya, Sol, Ragna, Terry, Kyo, Morrigan, Haohmaru, Liu Kang, and rock the fuck out having fun! The only people arguing about which is better, aren't real Fighting Game Players, like us!
Some of us REAL fans don’t always have the funds to buy all 3 so it’s interesting to hear which of the Big 3 is “best” to get
i never really good competitively in fighting game, but already play them all since SF2, MK3, and Tekken 2, and im eating good with the current gen titles
7:11 yes.... that taker spot was so cheap 😂😂😂
Li mei deadass my favourite mk1 character
Makes me wish the character endings in t8 gave the characters more development like the older Tekkens since the story mode was peetty focused
As slow who came from the MK community. I have to say that tekken is the best game right now, I stoped playing sf6 cause I hate the modern control system and I stopped playing mk1 cause it’s boring 🥲 at least tekken you’re always learning something and that’s why I love fighting games
For SF6, go listen to Fete Foraine, the stage themes are where it's at, & for MK1, listen to the night version of the Fengjian Teahouse, the round 2 segment is my fav part of the track!
I used to stand by mk being the best fighting game since I was like 6. After a few years of not playing the games I got really into mkx and mk11. But mk1 disappointed me so much I abandoned it for sf6 and tekken 8. I still don’t like street fighter but it’s objectively better than mk1. Tekken has become my favorite fighting game. Thank you for letting me yapp about my experience with fighting games.
It's great that this comparison includes a life coach lesson on integrity 👍....
World tour to me is kinda better than all the story modes, people don't exactly consider it a story mode cause of it focusing on your original character, but honestly, I think it's a breath of fresh air and a better direction, much like mk deception konquest mode, honestly movie like story mode, worked at first, but they got boring very quickly, and you'll hardly replay em, I really hope street fighter's konquest like mode will become the standard for story mode instead of movies.
Tekken 8 is the most fun to play
Mortal Kombat story always entertaining. If the story bad it was fun.
Spittin factz 🔥
Im a die hard MK fan but even I admit that Tekken and SF have raised the bar.
Mk just can’t hold a candle to the other two except when it comes to story.
But story doesn’t determine the longevity and overall enjoyment.
I like all 3 games can't get enough of them having these main fighting games franchises return around the same time will forever be a moment!!!
MK1 is awesome. Get off the bandwagon and try it out. Most of the things people were complaining about were fixed months ago. I own all these games, they're all arguably 3 of the best fighting games ever.
Na MK 1 is trash, mk should never base itself around air kombat like DBZ Fighterz also the characters feel sooooooo stiff
@deanbrooks7297 It's lots of fun, and it feels just as good if not better than all prior games. The hate it's receiving is vastly due to glitches and poor product quality at launch, most of which has been fixed. Regardless this speaks to none of the fundamentals of MK1 as a fighting game - which as a fighting game, it is quite good.
@@deanbrooks7297 I know you're butt hurt about spending $10 on purple Quan Chi underpants, my advice? Don't spend your money on Quan Chi underpants
@@deanbrooks7297 wait now im confused werent people complaining that mk1 LACKED proper aerial combat?
Mk1 is still bad gameplay wise. Where have you been? 😂
19:00 Tekken 4 peaked at storytelling. After that, everything went downhill after that!
Facts
True
They learned the wrong lessons with Tekken 4's failure.
I already know Mortal Kombat 1 last placed just off the simple fact Mortal Kombat 11 was a much better game than Mortal Kombat 1.
Best Gameplay: Tekken 8. Game's fun as hell. Playing this makes me hungry to play more.
Best Story: Mortal Kombat 1. Honestly I haven't even played and/or seen all of it yet and I can tell u it's better than Tekken 8's Story by a mile. Tekken 8's story is decent. But it is still lacking in areas (PAUL! JUN! ASUKA! BRYAN! AND ESPECIALLY YOU LAW!)
Best Single Player: Street Fighter 6. It's got some very interesting modes in here and I definitely want my CAC to learn from my favorites and have their fighting styles.
Best Graphics: None of them look bad. They all look good. But if I absolutely HAD to pick a winner here, I'd pick Mortal Kombat 1 and it's a very VERY close fight graphically.
Best Soundtrack: It was hard to pick a winner here too, but here it's because not all of the newer soundtracks are interesting like u said. But if I had to choose a winner, it'd be Tekken 8 for 2 reasons. Tekken 8 does have some stand out bangers in it, and because of the jukebox.
Winner: In the end. It's a tough fight between Mortal Kombat 1 and Tekken 8. But my winner out of these three games is Tekken 8. To me Tekken 8 is the best fighting game out right now.
for me its SF6
MK1's story was good for the first half, but once they started getting into the whole multiverse nonsense that's when I stopped liking it. Tekken 8 has the best story out of these 3, making Kazuya a powerful threat the entire game, getting the side characters involved, and giving a satisfying conclusion to the Mishima feud
