It's just so great to see Max playing the latest MK game again and having fun. The little bit of MK11 he played wasn't nearly as fun to watch because you could tell he wasn't very into it.
That's been a thing since NRS became NRS. It's just more common for something else to hit somebody during an animation, like a grab, in the single player modes they've done. MK9 had the tag battles which work the same, but pretty much every NRS single player will have some sort of projectile stage hazard that will just cause both players to pop if it connects while either player is doing a move with a preset animation.
Yeah if your new or newer to the scene online can be daunting. Just don’t focus on your record and dwell on taking loses! Just have fun and learn what you can from whoever beats you so when you run into it again you’ll have the Knowledge
I would recommend Cyrax as Scorpions kameo, you can use his hold kameo to convert into a combo after Scorpions back 3, hit them out of the air with back 2 into spear. Also you can use Cyrax to keep yourself safe if you want to end a combo in enhanced ground fire. Motaro is also a good assist for him as you can use his forward assist to turn Scirpions 1,2,2 into a safe 50/50, can’t combo off of it though but you can also use Motaro’s projectile cancel at full screen, like after a grab, to safely use Scorpions enhanced ground fire on certain characters. Stryker could also be good for 50/50 but combos with his grenades will be harder to find.
Breakers must make (maybe not might just be any hit) assists take longer to come back or something. Cause that breaker on sector call kept him out for so long.
Clickbait title, obviously the next level of power Max should have would be felt through the screen enough to melt skin off, and here I am still with my skin! Love the vids Max, glad to see you enjoying a MK game again!
Shao with scorpion kameo can lead to some really stylish high damage combos, im happy to be a shao main this time around. My boi finally feels scary to be up against, has some nice long range pokes (2 and D4 are great) and his B2 has some crazy pushback and is nooch on block so its a good reset. Ive been having fun
Is this the first ever MK game where Max actually likes Scorpion? I'm glad! I've mained Scorpion since MK1 basically, he's always been 'mah boy'. Although I have to say that Reptile is very fun in this one, best Reptile so far in my opinion.
The only thing that I would add to this game right now is a create your own combo trial mode in practice. I want to be able to look at a pro player max damage combo, then set it up in game and practice it for an hour or until I memorize it.
What’s y’all’s preference after playing the game for some time now? This or SF6? SF6 seems more polished to me, but I’m drawn to the craziness and customizability of this game …
SF6 is better and polished for the FGC hyper-competitive crowd. But I honestly just think MK1 is more fun to play because it's so wonky and crazy. The combos in MK1 just feel so good to land, its just fun. The number of cool and fun to play characters is more then SF6 imo. Plus MK1 is pretty as hell to look at. Both are really good games though.
That first match, that dude did not need to fatal blow that. You had no meter to break and he still had a bit of that Liu Kang combo left that would have killed you. Seems like overkill. Loving the Scorpion though I know you switched to Smoke.
Max start implementing scorpions long rage sweep... It'll slow em down more or make the jump more... Also your side switch mix game would improve from it
Mk1 is definitely an improvement over mk11. Some minor fixes i hope to see next game: 1. You need meter to have fun: No meter is no combo’s besides your string that pops. 2. Faster buttons: bc the delay it’s really hard to to react on the moment. 3. More Kameos: more fun
did the missile break Max's grab ? He was doing a grab but right before that he uses the missiles and it hits the opponent and breaks the grab damaging him in the process.
My biggest issue with Mortal Kombat games is the severe lack of recovery after being knocked down. Just wake up anything and it usually works. Any other game you have to block.
How likely do we think that the Expac for MK1 is going to give us at least two of the Cyber-Ninja's? Considering that Cyrax and Sektor are namedropped in the story and we see Sektor in Sub-Zero's Tower Ending? Oh, and for them to be ACTUALLY PLAYABLE THIS TIME.
We already know what characters are going to be in KP1. That being said, I don't really want to see the special ops and robot characters introduced to this canon in just a kombat pack. It'd be way cooler and do all of these characters more justice if they could have a story expansion to show how these versions of the characters came to be in Liu Kang's very different timeline. I want to say that's why they are in as Cameos at the moment, because there was no "correct" way to introduce them with the choice of story line they had for the main game.
As for how we get to Sektor and Cyrax, Sub-Zero's Arcade Tower ending literally shows Sektor working on the Cyber-Initiative. And both are namedropped in the Campaign as being loyal to Bi-Han.
Complains that he's getting down 2ed bunch But he's the one jumping and the guy's anticipating it and properly anti-earing him so it's like it's working wouldn't be a Mortal Kombat game without some crazy down two action
Yeah man you're actually jumping a little bit more than the Liu Kang so yeah he's going to down two you and some stand moves can be anti-airs like standing three
please try shujinku kameo its pretty fun and adds a lot of versatility to the matches since everyone gonna mostly be picking different characters....one of my strats with him is using shujinku as a shield when dealing wit zoners/spammers im guaranteed a hit without getting hit by a projectile
Dude when i figured out he had an OTG i went off. And i ended up landing on scorpion as my kameo too. Super fun combos super stylish, super big damage, and to top it off that shao in the video wasnt even using axe buff
I don't wanna be that guy but I feel like scorpion's damage is so little, look at the combo max did, the amount of effort and resources it took vs the combo liu kang and the shao kahn did, so much more damage with less buttons pressed.
Gotta say, talking shit about "Down 2" for the uppercut is kinda weak lol. Uppercut is the easiest big damage most new player use but it's also one of the biggest possible punish you can do. ALSO, using Uppercut is the worst punish to use as it can't be combo'ed into, therefore you're losing a shit ton of damage from using it. Sadly, I still use Uppercut myself as anti-air punish while a standing 1 punch leads to a 2/3 combo if you're good enough. Gotta fight muscle memory but yeah, as long as Uppercuts are used in a match, you know it's not a "elite player level", not talking about Pros here, just very good player don't use those 99% of the time.
I suck at this game for some reason. And I was great in MK11. I just feel my reactions and reflexes can't handle the STUPID that gets dished out by idiots. And I don't mean players that play good and respectable. I mean, the COD kid try hards doing weird random shit. That always throws me off. The poke throw kids, the button mashers, the random jumpers and lucky Kameo button hit lol Just idiots. People who play like idiots, because they just want to win. The kind of kids who bang out a fatality as fast as they can on the FIRST game lol Jesus Christ, these kids just need to go away.
It's just so great to see Max playing the latest MK game again and having fun. The little bit of MK11 he played wasn't nearly as fun to watch because you could tell he wasn't very into it.
this is also the most ive ever seen him play scorpion too
I mean, he ain't the only one. I played Mk11 on ps4, gameplay felt very off so much I go back to MKX again months later.
mk11 was ass lol
I bounced off of MK11 immediately.
Babe wake up, Max posted another MK video

I didn’t know what to bring so I got candy
There was a couple times when he shoved them out of the way of sektors missle, it looked very heroic
Heres one 3:09
Yeah he needs to break that habit, the game won't let you forward throw right after using a kameo.
Looks like he failed to save him at 10:26
Unlike DSP, Max never insults his opponents or blame everything when losses. Great gamer! 😊
Sektor missile knocking you out of your own throw is still wild to me lol someone turn off the friendly fire
Same with Jax ground pound . U gotta jump before it hits the ground

This game is hard online, but it's just too fun. learning this game and how the kombo system works is interesting.

That Sharingan guy is a rival of mine, nice to see he didn’t disappoint.
Breakers must make (maybe not might just be any hit) assists take longer to come back or something. Cause that breaker on sector call kept him out for so long.
Honestly excited to try new things, since I also use Scorpion and Sektor, and I never used Up Missle with Ground Flame, only used it with flame wheel

Sometimes the character just needs the right assist, to unleash a character full potential.
Goddamn, some of the combos in MK1 are awesome and terrifying to watch.
Gotta love my boy enjoying MK all over again
I’ve had to explain to a few friends the term “DP” as they thought something completely different 😶…

I'm actually happy to see some competent Lui Kang play not a lot of people have been playing him and he put up a good fight.
Good Online Matches Max.
Scorpions Combos are Hella Fun.
General Shao with Scorpion(Kameo) is looking very Dangerous.
Shao's "low" damage killed me.
Scorpion is a character that consistently kicks my ass whenever I fight him
that might be me :)
@@eazycertifiedgangstere2655 it’s been more than a few different players so far. So maybe 🤷♂️
Have had the same struggle with dealing with scorpion lol I pray when I play one that one would be dumb enough to teleport so I could punish lol 😂
tbh the black and white censor for the final blows looks kinda sick ngl
I feel Max on this one. The times I do wake up and it doesn't come out or the armor broken through it, annoys me so much
Love your videos MAX! you keep posting and I'll keep watching 🎮🎮 MORTAL KOMBAAAAT! 🐉
What’s y’all’s preference after playing the game for some time now? This or SF6? SF6 seems more polished to me, but I’m drawn to the craziness and customizability of this game …
I love Mortal Kombat, but SF6 is where it’s at
Both are good, no need to compare
@@Jl-qg5xz I didn’t say they weren’t. Just asking what people prefer.
SF6 has way less fun characters

Shao Max: "And I am Shao Max. Conqueror of online fighting game matches. And Emperor of Mortal Kombat."
That faded, dirty, Dreamcast strapped to his chest made me laugh so much.
love seeing the improvement!
The thumbnail is fuckin hilarious, dude has a shredder helmet on and a dreamcast strapped to his chest wtf 😂😂😅
I think the Shredder helmet also has cat ears on it lol
I'm curious who's the artist
The Almighty Scrub Lord
Shao Kahn getting back & forth by both scorpions lol.
Max's power level.... IT'S OVER 9000!
Is there no way to do that pop-up with sector and you get over here with enough time in the middle?
Wassup Max? Good matches bro! :)
That some poor skilled scorpion
I still havent seen a shao kahn or kitana in my KL. Recently just saw a Li Mei.
Has anyone tried to use Darrius to get a pickup after Scorps blazing charge ender? The opponent spins out curious if we can get a combo extension.
Mk1 is definitely an improvement over mk11. Some minor fixes i hope to see next game: 1. You need meter to have fun: No meter is no combo’s besides your string that pops. 2. Faster buttons: bc the delay it’s really hard to to react on the moment. 3. More Kameos: more fun
At 1st glace, Scorpion looks like a Spider-man alt costume in that thumbnail
I'm guessing this was before max was playing baraka
did the missile break Max's grab ? He was doing a grab but right before that he uses the missiles and it hits the opponent and breaks the grab damaging him in the process.
Sektor doing Darun Mister's Indra Bridge to fire his up missile is really weird
Shao is super fun u should give him a go the combos feel very satisfying
Based on the thumbnail I thought Max was playing Shao. Silly me
Damn, those are some long, girthy hard combos
"His Power is Maximum!"
Kinda shocked no one made that reference yet....
Those wake up fb ain’t no joke lol gotta love it
Let's gooooo Max uploaded another mk1 video 🔥❤️🔥🗿
My biggest issue with Mortal Kombat games is the severe lack of recovery after being knocked down. Just wake up anything and it usually works. Any other game you have to block.
You're just missing the timing, it's not that deep.
damn I wish I had a Ps5 to play this, man. It looks sooo fun
Did Max just become the scrub lord again? Oh lord. He is coming.
Does Max play on PlayStation or PC?
Do u use a controller for mk1?
How do you unlock that color???
How likely do we think that the Expac for MK1 is going to give us at least two of the Cyber-Ninja's? Considering that Cyrax and Sektor are namedropped in the story and we see Sektor in Sub-Zero's Tower Ending? Oh, and for them to be ACTUALLY PLAYABLE THIS TIME.

@@hteety I meant Expack as in an Aftermath style storyline pack. Which we're definitely getting if that Post Credits scene is anything to go by.

I think imma try to master scorpion next. This might be the best version of scorpion

@@derrickfetterman5076 my opinion
Watching that Liu Kang miss out on so much dmg every time he lands hurts my soul a little bit
Damn I thought he tried out Reiko, I just wanna see Reiko played so badly because his attacks and playstyle looks so hard hitting!
Yeah man you're actually jumping a little bit more than the Liu Kang so yeah he's going to down two you and some stand moves can be anti-airs like standing three
That intro was sick
First......
He's Beginning To Improve.
Am i the only one that thinks scorpion is a little.. vanilla?.. to sit and watch though. I enjoy watching reptile/smoke/rain way more.
Question anyone. If Scorpion had a low starter, how much better would he be? Just starting my first MK and Scorpion is my main
Personally I think any low starter is good however scorpion tends to be very popular so people usually learn all his strings pretty fast.
Max relies too much on Sektor. Leaving him open for kombos and throws. That Liu Kang knows how to keep the pressure
did that Shao forget that he can buff his axe?
Shao is buff enough, he doesn't need his axe any more buff.
I like how at the end of the round Scorpion says "For Ken and Ryu"
Thumbnail kinda got me excited for Shao game play since he's my man right now. A bit disappointed ngl
Hidden missiles is so good
please try shujinku kameo its pretty fun and adds a lot of versatility to the matches since everyone gonna mostly be picking different characters....one of my strats with him is using shujinku as a shield when dealing wit zoners/spammers im guaranteed a hit without getting hit by a projectile
What a awesome match
I mean..Scorpion wearing any color other than yellow should be an automatic L. It's heresy.
combos will always be the number one thing that fighting games need to focus on, not footsies thats why sf4 is the last good sf
His power is growing! It's overflowing!
Broly reference?
Liu Kang does o much damage geezz
Oof, that Shao OTG is SICK.
Dude when i figured out he had an OTG i went off. And i ended up landing on scorpion as my kameo too. Super fun combos super stylish, super big damage, and to top it off that shao in the video wasnt even using axe buff
What's OTG?
I honestly thought Cyrax and Serena would be the better choice for scorpion but I honestly just get more damage out of sektor
Max needs to use weapons only and no punches or kicks also no cameos unfortunately has to fight both of them.
I can feel the power growing inside me
I’m a simple man. I see Scrublord in the thumbnail, I click.
Combo city
I don't wanna be that guy but I feel like scorpion's damage is so little, look at the combo max did, the amount of effort and resources it took vs the combo liu kang and the shao kahn did, so much more damage with less buttons pressed.
