It'd be fine if he gave a good reason for it, for Ermac he basically explains his origin and that's it that's the whole thing, the closest thing to an argument is the fact that he's a red ninja, which isn't even true for his later appearances
Must not talk to many people. Probably even less about old arcade games.. everyone I've ever known that played MK had at some point brought up how much nightwolf sucks and/or how much of a bad character they are.
He sounded like he was offended for Nightwolf's portrayal as a Native American. I can tell you I don't find any bit of it offending, since I am one. I'm more happy we get a character that represents us. He's the badass, as Johnny Cage calls him, we deserved.

@@helioseternal2537 Dude called Kabal uninspired and based most of his placement in the list on some archaic glitch that lets him kill himself lmao - Which is actually hilarious. Kabal probably has the dumbest placement in the whole list. After I saw that he put fucking Kintaro, Jarek and Hotaru above Cyrax, Sektor, Quan Chi, Night Wolf, Kabal and Ermac, I stopped taking the video seriously. Also why is Erron Black at #4. Like he isn't a bad character but not exactly a great one.. Certainly not very original in the day and age he was created. He's a massive cliché. And he has pretty much no depth to his character, whatsoever. Swear he's just there to look cool and act like he doesn't care about anything. (He does however play really well.) But as a character I'd personally rank him around the upper mid section of this list and that's simply for not being terrible, like a good a third of MK characters - if we're going to be real.
Yeah theres some characters definitely in the wrong place while I'm writing this they've just mentioned Moloch (who?) but put nightwolf and kabal under him tbh Ive been playing Mortal Kombat since the 1st game so to me nightwolf and kabal are much more iconic plus I like the character design better than most characters listed between them and sektor 💯
Some weird choices. But you don’t seem to justify their positions. Some people in the bottom 30 have nicer descriptions than those in the top 30. They just seem like descriptions put into a vaguely random orde
I usually don’t care enough about these lists to comment but, Damn... I don’t know if these choices could be more off the mark if they tried. Literally never heard anyone complaining about Kabal ever, afaik he’s been a fan favorite since his debut.
It took me a while but I figured out y this list is so screwed up every comment counts how else can you get ppl to comment then by shitting on somthing they love the list is clearly random
So by your standards at the beginning saying that two one off characters from Armageddon (Daegon and Taven) are better than series staples Nightwolf and Kabal and Ermac...that ain’t it fam.
“No spin-off games you shouldn’t play to begin with” so you’re telling everyone to NOT play MK: Shaolin Monks? That’s like one of the BEST games in the series
My favorite thing about that game was the cheat code that unlocked Sub-Zero and Scorpion as playable characters in the story mode. My bud and I always played as them instead of Liu Kang and Kung Lao. 😅
Erron is the shit. He could have ended everything a lot quicker if he wasn’t nice enough to let the heroes save their friend on the ground at gunpoint. Also, man is a cowboy, does cool shit with guns, says cool shit, and looks badass

I love the idea of Ashrah. A demon who came into contact with a holy blade that cleansed her inherent evil. But she's not happy about it and considers herself cursed seeking a way to get rid of the blade. That's a really cool idea for an anti-hero character that I'd enjoy seeing revisited at some point.
Hot fresh science fact: #69 Kai, after winning the WWE title in 2019, Kofi Kingston agreed with a tweet of mine that not only did he name his son Kai after the character, he was 100% on board for NeatherRealm to revive the character and he wanted to lend his likeness for him. Also.. how are Taven, Daegon, Shujinko & the rest of the 1 time losers not at the bottom with Meat?
Noob Saibot wasn't a retcon of the first game's Sub-Zero. That character was killed by Scorpion during the events of the first game, while his younger brother took over the Sub-Zero mantle from the second game onward. Noob is a reincarnated spectre in the same way Hanzo Hasashi was reincarnated as Scorpion.
@@TheThird1977 no, a wraith is an undead person with new abilities, loses their old ones, and becomes ghastly in appearance. They're also lean into the darker aspects of their personalities, effectively becoming a husk or "shadow" of their former selves. A Spectre is an undead person with new abilities that they never had with no trade required. They gain hell/fire themed abilities like Scorpions hellport and several of his most popular fire moves. They keep their personalities, and when revived, can keep their powers. Not to mention that they keep their human appearance. Spectres are also more independent of their creators
@@SPFLDAngler Most of the characters that are mentioned in the comments are fan favorites and Triple Jump just takes a big ol' shit on em, when they're talking about Cyrax he makes fun of the fans and basically says he has a boring moveset
I always felt like Kira had a lot of potential. A female member of the black dragon sounds awesome. Unfortunetly they gave her a comibination of Kano & Sonya's movelist with a lazy character design. I hope they revamp this character for a later installment and do her justice because the concept is great.
I'm halfway through the list and I'm wondering if they like any character at all. It's like they haven't realized that they're halfway through and forgot that they should start having anything positive to say at all. Classic Triple Jump... Can't get rid of that WhatCulture's "insufferable snark" bug.
SORRY but I strongly disagree, Nightwolf is a good character... one my favorite since its first release in MK3 About Striker is not really that bad, he's a good annoyer & zoner.

Why make a list ranking characters in an IP that you clearly have disdain for? Trying so hard to be snarky, irreverent and funny, it just falls totally flat.

Yeah he was judged not by character but by implications to todays times
Night wolf is awesome
I was on board until you ranked Nightwolf so low. He's been one of my absolute favorites for a long time.
Nightwolf is ok love his mk 3 design but atlest he's not kai now that is shameful
A person who admittedly doesn’t like and isn’t good at fighting games tries to review fighting game characters. Maybe this was a bad idea?
The fact that my favourite character, Ermac, is #67 physically hurts me D:
Agreed!!!
I like Red Scorpian too. He was a cool character
I almost threw my phone when I saw #67....they have no idea what they're talking about.
@@MrBrightside999 hey whoa, I like Ermac too but dont break your phone friend. Its just a fun opinion video lol ;)
Agreed...he did my main Lord Fujin dirty too 😆
Chameleon is one of the lowest characters on the list, but Khameleon is in the top 30. Cmon bruv at least put some effort into the list😂
Nightwolf: I didn’t know i came here to be disrespected
I love the idea of Ashrah. A demon who came into contact with a holy blade that cleansed her inherent evil. But she's not happy about it and considers herself cursed seeking a way to get rid of the blade. That's a really cool idea for an anti-hero character that I'd enjoy seeing revisited at some point.
There's potential there for sure
Hey, some guy from the future here with good news: they did revisit the idea and she looks awesome!
Hot fresh science fact: #69 Kai, after winning the WWE title in 2019, Kofi Kingston agreed with a tweet of mine that not only did he name his son Kai after the character, he was 100% on board for NeatherRealm to revive the character and he wanted to lend his likeness for him.
Also.. how are Taven, Daegon, Shujinko & the rest of the 1 time losers not at the bottom with Meat?
Noob Saibot wasn't a retcon of the first game's Sub-Zero. That character was killed by Scorpion during the events of the first game, while his younger brother took over the Sub-Zero mantle from the second game onward. Noob is a reincarnated spectre in the same way Hanzo Hasashi was reincarnated as Scorpion.
Noob: Wraith
Scorpion: Spectre
@@matthewpunk2012 A wraith is a spectre.
@@TheThird1977 no, a wraith is an undead person with new abilities, loses their old ones, and becomes ghastly in appearance. They're also lean into the darker aspects of their personalities, effectively becoming a husk or "shadow" of their former selves. A Spectre is an undead person with new abilities that they never had with no trade required. They gain hell/fire themed abilities like Scorpions hellport and several of his most popular fire moves. They keep their personalities, and when revived, can keep their powers. Not to mention that they keep their human appearance. Spectres are also more independent of their creators
Yeah even basic MK knowledge was lacking with this list and the “background”
Only true mk fans know this
Imagine putting a top 20 character in Nightwolf at #71 then expecting to be taken seriously... Jokers
Yeah!! How dare they have an opinion!! How dare they not cater to you alone! Shame on them!
Exactly!! It's ridiculous, I'm glad you share my view on this particular matter 👍🏼
@@SPFLDAngler They can have their opinion. Dose not mean they wont get shit for how stupid it is.
@@SPFLDAngler Most of the characters that are mentioned in the comments are fan favorites and Triple Jump just takes a big ol' shit on em, when they're talking about Cyrax he makes fun of the fans and basically says he has a boring moveset
Why are Ermac and Kabal lower than most the more generic fighters from post MK4?
How did darrius get higher than ermac💀
And Kira or something was higher then them..
How did havik get higher than tremor lol
@Raymond Ringgold baraka is pretty cool. . that's the smallest problem on this list. :D
This list is such a joke this have to be a prank
@truecountry89 but hey havik is actually cool
Rain is also in MK11.
I always felt like Kira had a lot of potential. A female member of the black dragon sounds awesome. Unfortunetly they gave her a comibination of Kano & Sonya's movelist with a lazy character design. I hope they revamp this character for a later installment and do her justice because the concept is great.
I'm halfway through the list and I'm wondering if they like any character at all. It's like they haven't realized that they're halfway through and forgot that they should start having anything positive to say at all.
Classic Triple Jump... Can't get rid of that WhatCulture's "insufferable snark" bug.
Feel like the creator just put all the names in a randomizer..
Fujin doesn't use a crossbow because he has to. It's because he wants to. He's a huge Walking Dead fan.
Congratulations, TripleJump! Your video is at the top of the list for worst “ranking” videos on TH-cam!
Fun drinking game: Take a shot whenever someone says "Mortal Kombat"
Survival was never an option, then
Alchality
i had to watch this vid in parts because i got so sick of hearing those two words. lol
rip
only the Irish would survive
SORRY but I strongly disagree, Nightwolf is a good character... one my favorite since its first release in MK3
About Striker is not really that bad, he's a good annoyer & zoner.
Seriously you guys ranked Jaqui over Johnny Cage?
Bro that shit was heresy
Jaqui being ranked so hi is puzzling
There’s like dozens of characters better than “Girl Jax” like wtf
This guy really put takeda lower than jacqui but fr tho he actually had cook gadgets then a girl on military but they decided to put jacqui higher than takeda
WHY WASNT CHUN LI INVITED TO THE MORTAL KOMBAT, LADS??
WHY WASN'T AKUMA?
Chun Li isn't as good as Chumlee.
I get that reference
What's Tom Campbell doing in the TripleJump zone!?!? 😱
They said no characters from other franchises.
Dude really threw shade “we love being told how wrong we are” after putting a list like this together, with so so many titular characters low, and some that have been in 1 or 2 games high
You know you could have said “M K” and I think we all would have gotten what you were talking about...
The video would be at least ten minutes shorter.
Also could've said "MK9" instead of "Mortal Kombat 2011". It's much quicker and better
Or just called them by their subtitles. It's a list of MK characters. We're gonna know that you're discussing MK games
Wait people actually say mk instead of mortal kombat
MK fans have made me hate MK. This whole video is full of so much gatekeeping
Jonny cage should at least be in the top ten!!!
Ikr with no exception
Word! 👏
Let me get this straight you put ermac and kabal all the way in the back but put tanya at 20 gentleman please have your heads checked
Master Bo Rai Cho is and shall always be my boy.
Same
MrGStar321: 😡
For those that don’t speak Spanish I hope y’all figured out his name is a ply off of boracho aka drunk
Imagine putting Erron Black that high instead of Johnny Cage. What a trashfire list.
I see Erron Black as wack and not really a Mortal Kombat type of character
Woah woah erron black is one of my favorite characters, behind noob saibot obviously
@@Bckgroundguy101 he may be your favourite
But consider, If on whole Universal level Error is more likeable and better written character than raiden liu kang or Cage? It is a tier list not "my favourites characters list"
@@kapiquantum i dont agree with the tier list but he said erron black was whack. He's definitely not as strong as liu kang or kung lao but hes definitely a hell of a lot more interesting. Their names are practically just reversed.
Everybody gangsta until he said Nightwolf, then Ermac, then Jarek (for being as high as he was), then Jacqui (for the same reason), then the other completely unforgivable positions
Why make a list ranking characters in an IP that you clearly have disdain for?
Trying so hard to be snarky, irreverent and funny, it just falls totally flat. And there’s no logic to the rankings-the Cassie explanation would make you think she’s one of the worst of the franchise, yet she’s ranked above series mainstays whose explanations are far more positive.
Kira, Mavado, Moloch and Jarek are ranked higher than Ermac, Nightwolf, Kabal, Tremor and Havik? WHAT IS THIS LIST?!
How the fuck is Shao Khan that low? He's both figuratively and literally a god
The correct pronunciation of "Reiko" is "That guy", also referred to as "Whassisface". Just for the record.
Really? I thought it was just “who?” Or “Shao Ka.. wait that’s not Shao Kahn”
Why is Nightwolf at the Bottom!?!
Because he’s the token stock Native American character with no real thought for cultural sensitivity or design?
You put people who appeared in two games over fan favorites
GOOD LORD THE FACT YOU SHINNOK BELOW DARRIUS IS A JOKE!!!
And Jacqui wound up about 55 spots too high.
Erron Black at #4 wtf
"Goro with breasts" is said so many times it stops sounding like actual words
She probably got the best tea bag in the game.
I wonder if you guys know that "Bo Rai Cho" sounds almost exactly like "Borracho", which means "drunk" in spanish
Yes, i did 😊
Before I watch the list I'm going to guess scorpion and sub zero top the list?
It was me. I was the person who was happy Rain was in later games.
Same
I think you just like saying "Mortal Kombat" *a lot.*
It's unacceptable.
Exactly... we already know he’s talking bout Mortal Kombat..... he could have just got to the point and say 2,3,4.... etc instead of saying the entire title... another example is that Sub Zero is in pretty much everygame... he could have just say all of them... but nooo Mortal Kombat...... this mortal Kombat that.... i m unsubscribing... these guy are annoying
@@Aznrocky you’re goofy
@@thomasdascombe4939 i m well aware of that. But thanks for the reminder 😁
You sound like you played MK once at your friend's house 15 years ago and then getting the rest of your info from Wikipedia.
I love you guys so much.
That being said I can't believe how bad this list is.
I no longer know what the words "mortal" or "combat" mean.
Kombat is spelt with a k if you want to get serious about this.
@@Banquet42 but if not, then that's ok
@@kanstee9226 fair enough.
*kombat
How do you put ermac so low in this list 🤔 what the truck
This video would be a half-hour shorter if you edited out the, albeit amusing, reading of every character's appearance.
How dare you say it was amusing how many times Mortal Kombat was said.
it was irritating, i pressed skip twice everytime the list showed up.
The “order” of this list is sus
When I saw Noob outside of the top 25, I was done. Like what would even be the criteria?
Was nodding in agreement until Ermac and Nightwolf ended up on the bottom of the list
