to be honest we don't know the canon reason why striker is even a cameo. everyone else has a reason be it pre (darius, nataraa) or post endgame (sektor, sujinko, hanzo etc) but strikers just there. for some reason i feel like johnny brought him over for the film shooting to fill in as security for li mei and the ungadi. li mei was vary apethetic at start after all she dosnt even know what a movie is so it makes sense she dosnt understand the commitment. problem is movies still happening and johnny need security so his old friend striker it is. with that being said once hes in outworld i can defiantly see him hitting it off wit her.
I wish this Li Mei met her counterpart from another universe where she married Onaga and became his queen (which is her actual ending in Deception). I just want to see her reaction.
@@Poussyeater-w5e , that would've been great, but they've already ruined Li Mei's personality by making her annoyingly idealistic, so it's unlikely to happen.
Li Mei: There are *rules* for policemen, Kurtis. Stryker: Yeah. That's what my captain keeps telling me. ---- Stryker: You know Cage thinks we should do a buddy cop flick. Li Mei: Do I detect eagerness in your voice? ---- Stryker: I hear the Black Dragon have been seen in Sun Do. Li Mei: Not your jurisdiction, not your problem. ---- Li Mei: Why would someone like you become a policeman? Stryker: To keep someone worse than me from wearing this badge.
Look at my girl, she went from winning the Deadly Alliance tournament only to get her soul put in one of the Dragon Kings warriors. Then to getting her soul restored only for it to be corrupted, which in turn leads to her betraying everyone and siding with Onaga to become his wife. Then to being a NPC who comes to Earthrealm as a refugee. She actually gets a spotlight on her.
I would absolutely LOVE to see a game similar to Arkham series about this incarnation of Li Mei in Sun Do. It would be a great way to introduce new characters like Brokade the queen of the Underworld, namedropped in one of Li Mei's mirror intros, as well as to reintroduce other characters from Outworld like Bo'Rai Cho, Kintaro, Chameleon, Kollector, Skarlet, Sheeva, General Kotal, Countess Jade, D'Vorah and Ferra/Torr. Also, wouldn't it be dope to be able to travel across huge Outworld capital? Despite all the game's flaws, locations are majestic in terms of the design.
If he was in Mortal Kombat 1 and retained his police background from previous timeline, he would have been Li Mei's love interest and Reiko's good counterpart.
Ive kind of already paired her up with kitana. They have hlthe chemistry and history even though she trained them as kids. I think it could have potential and different then pairing her up with like raiden or lui kang.
I am so glad that Li mei got actual character development and overall a good story arc at once. Unlike Tanya she is actually a very good character of MK1 story mode!
I didn't mind the original Li Mei being more selfish, marrying Onaga and becoming his queen (in her ending of MK Deception). THAT was her character development after everything she'd been through. This new MK has too many idealistic characters for my taste. Mileena was a wonderful, interesting villain. Now she's just boring.
@@Counterbalance_ Well, I can agree. I enjoy both post classic story of Li mei and the New one. Also can agree about Mileena. From a villain to Disney Princess with "I don't want to follow the royal rules" personality.
@@pandogstudios1512 Tanya is straight up bland, has bad design and her only purpose in story is to act as Mileena's secret lover and a moron who can't even do her job in protecting the royal family and try to kill Li mei as She tried to explain important things to Sindel.
Part of me hopes they do something between Li Mei and Reiko, either in the story expansion or the next game. Reiko speaks of her skill, along with wanting her on their side, and hoping that they’d meet again. In turn, Li Mei also offers him the opportunity to reduce his sentence by renouncing Shao, and she never seems outright hostile towards Reiko.
Lol you shipping Li Mei with Reiko? Well, I saw a leak of a DLC somewhere on reddit that mentioned that they are the rulers of Outworld in Titan Havik's timeline. Personally, I ship Mei with Johnny. But I know that would never happen
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT!! Reiko seems very interested in her whatever type it is, imo it is one sided in his case if it’s romantic
Would anyone else love to see Li Mei and Stryker in a buddy cop thing?
Yes please
But if Stryker origins change, should still have police background but be like Tyler Rake or John Wick playstyle wise....

Li Mei closing her eyes during Johnny Cage's pun was priceless 😂😂😂
13:03 I was facepalming so hard when I saw this lol. hes so going to get caged for this

@@Counterbalance_eff that, I wanna see that in a future game where Onaga's the final boss

@@Poussyeater-w5e
It would be dumber than the unironically evil Sindel
Li Mei has Ming-Na Wen energy. I absolutely love her in this game.
Li Mei: There are *rules* for policemen, Kurtis.

nice die hard reference
This are actually really good
That’s nice, it would also be interesting if she had dialogue with good Kabal and RoboCop.
Probably my new favorite girl along with Sindel and Kitana in this game
Same, shame she doesn't get as much attention as all the others

What now?

She actually gets a spotlight on her.
Now she’s a former Umgadi member and Constable.
Went into the game thinking I’d main Scorpion or Johnny, ended up loving and maining Li Mei
I like that she's steadfast to her principles and loyal to the empress. Very much Batmanesque
A far cry from the Li Mei who became Onaga's queen after selling every realm out to him.

0:30 This Li Mei is either Shang Tsung in disguise or she’s having Shang’s power.
Shit almost looks real 😮😮😮😮 I've been there since the original it's crazy how far games have come
I think Stryker will join the Outworld Intelligence Agency and befriend Li Mei due to both having Police-like backgrounds.
If he was in Mortal Kombat 1 and retained his police background from previous timeline, he would have been Li Mei's love interest and Reiko's good counterpart.
Li mei is one of favorite characters
Man imagine Stryker intros with her
3:20 - More than meets the eye, was from the words of Optimus Prime in Transformers.
*plays What I've Done by Linkin Park*
Optimus primal, you mean
9:22 my favourite quote from Bi Han
All i hear is cheshire from young justice
Stacy Hirano ( Phineas and Ferb )
D’Vorah ( MKX ; MK11 )
Hamato Miwa/Karai ( TMNT (2012) )
China White ( Arrow )
Also Sindel in MKX.
Ive kind of already paired her up with kitana. They have hlthe chemistry and history even though she trained them as kids. I think it could have potential and different then pairing her up with like raiden or lui kang.
She's basically Kitana's auntie dude...
The fuck? man
11:54 that's just....... messed up 😰

"From a villain to Disney Princess with "I don't want to follow the royal rules" personality"
Bullshit.
So essentially Li Mei is a cop.
Shes a super cop
Ohh she’s like striker but instead a woman
If she was a cop, she'd have murdered Baraka, Tanya, and Reptile
12:57 Johnny kills it xd
8:58 Ichiban meets Karai
1:26 Karai meets Jin Sakai
She sounds like karai from tmnt 2012.
No onaga mention? 🥺🥺🥺😭
Umgadi noble warrior
0:33 0:40 0:57 1:26 1:29
lol the first one
How did she know that Raiden had a crush on Kitana.
This time is alen lee
0:18
why is Johnny cage's voice is different from the story?
What do you mean? His voice is the same. Unless you are talking the Van Damme skin that he has in the game that changes his voice too
ohh so that's what it is...thank you so much@@WaltDevil060

I can’t believe they give Li Mei some cool story stuff but ruin all that by making her a cop 🙄
Someone:
Li, Mei I have your number?
