      I paused the video and looked at it frame by frame. It's nonsense. We have all of these MK characters with supernatural abilities, Reiko's is to dislodge the bones on his hip, kinda mundane but he's gonna get his mileage out of it, you can bet on that.

      I tend to think he learned the style of chaos.
      Take Havik for example, bends his kneecaps backward to shoot blasts, or lethally snaps his neck to gain health. Or Dairou, who smacks his back "reverse rising dracula" style!... without any damage. And Shujiko learning chao style from Havik himself.

Now I find myself digging out my Wii and 360 just to play 3D era games and MK9, and this channel has pretty much singlehandedly convinced me to buy and play every other NRS game I can get my hands on.

    This is why I am so tired of current MK's treatment of MK4 to MKArmageddon characters. More often than not barring rare exceptions like Frost or Kenshi the characters added in those games are either treated as jokes or ignored. If they revamped Reiko similar to how they did Frost and really put in effort to make him cool I can see him being an awesome character in modern MK.
    Hopefully in future games the 3D era MK characters get more representation. Still holding out for Havik, Nitara, Drahmin, and Ashrah.

    Reiko Flip Kick punishes sweeps in MK4. It also recovers immediately on whiff. Vs some characters you can combo into Flip Kick after the bone breaker grab.
    I think you underrate the Spiked Club. if Reiko touches you while he has Spiked Club you will die. Reiko probably has the most practical maximum damage reset combos. th-cam.com/video/dv_Cirm1UJU/w-d-xo.html
    Reiko also is really different combo wise depending on which version of MK4 you play. In the arcade version, his teleport will never whiff and the his infinites are easier due to gravity being different from console.
    Also he has a different weapon (Scythe) in MKG. I think the Spiked Club is a lot better due to the reset combos.
    Some people think Reiko is decent in MKA, but I don't think it is a standard take (from what I remember of MKA years ago).

    • @PNDKM
      @PNDKM  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I recall Reiko's teleport combos being different due to the screen size right? Console versions are more zoomed out where as Arcade is a lot more zoomed in. I always managed to get his max damage flip kick combos way easier on arcade because of that. Especially if you hit it at max range.
      In most competitive MK4 I've ever watched, I don't tend to see that max damage combo. It really never seemed like the chances of instant kick into flip kick was something you'd hit all that often and surely you NEED max damage from that specific opener to end in the right move at the right time? There's all kinds of max damage breakers but I so rarely see them in a real match. You got any links I can follow of it being used in a competitive setting?
      I have genuinely never seen anybody say he's decent in MKA lol. He's one of the characters I learned in the game in 2021 and every MKA head I've spoken to has generally been in common agreement he's a bottom 5 character. I have no idea what's meant to be decent about a character with such limited utility besides safe S3.

    • @xBiggs
      @xBiggs 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@PNDKM You don't need to do that specific starter, you just need to hit max damage with Spiked Club LP. Spiked Club is crazy if they have it out, but drawing the weapon is another story.
      I'm not sure about the screen size difference, but the teleport on console versions does not track the opponent near the corner, but in the arcade it does. This means in console version you generally need to do cross under jump kick teleports during combos to keep the opponent midscreen. It's really nasty to play Reiko on console because you need to be really aware of positioning and side step angles for teleport combos.
      Yeah Im not sure why some people like Check think Reiko is OK, because I have never seen people rate him so high back then.

    If Reiko kept his teleport in MK1 he’d be downright nasty in use, he’s already one of the best grapplers NRS has made in MK1 but being able to dart around would be icing on the cake

    For a character with very strong ties to Shao-Khan right down to perfectly replicating some of his techniques it's insane that NRS just decided to abandon him and killed him off in a comic. Then again that sums up NRS approach to a lot of the characters introduced in DA and Deception.

      MKDA: mid

      MKA: mid or low?
      MK9: top
      MKX: uhhhh mid? (Still bad at launch)

    Could you do a video focused on the Kreate A Kharacter from Armageddon? I know you said in a previous video that theirs banned in competitive but its hard to get a grip on all the moves when put side to side, specially when you only have the animations to go off of for combat without constantly going back and forth to test them.

    @Galloglaoch 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Really liked Reiko in Mk4. I alos like Arageddon but I was a dumb child that just loved that we have all the characters now. xD But yeah, Reiko was pretty cool in the comic to so I really enjoyed that even if he just...well end up used and dead...which was disappointing but...somehow understandable I'm still hoping we get to see him in a modern MK game soon enough. He deserves another shot and he's a cool and memorable character, why wouldn't you give him another shot.

    Please please please do Kano next. He is one of the most iconic MK characters in my opinion and is not talked about nearly enough. I’m sure a lot of your viewers would be learning stuff about Kano they’ve never heard before including me.

    • @ShiftyGuy777
      @ShiftyGuy777 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hooh boy my boy is kinda disapointing, he's okay in MK1 as he can punish Raiden's torpedo and can beat the ninjas, although I can see him struggle against the top 3.
      In UMK3 he's quite a versatile character yet it's not good enough, but overall he's pretty good
      Now in MKDA this is personally my favorite Kano design, but unfortunately Kano is outclassed as everything that Kano does is worse than Hsu Hao's kit, Xing Yi does less damage and Aikido is alright as it's a grapple style, of course Wrestling is much better and Butterfly Knives are a decent shared weapons as it has a good combo, problem is it in certain angles your combos will whiff, the one thing Kano has over Hsu Hao is that he's has a full screen projectile and that would be his laser eye, although the damage isn't great it can still annoy opponents, generally if you want good results you're going to have to use his damage buff in the Aikido stance, but if you want big damage you might as well pick Drahmin, Sonya and Nitara.
      Now MKA and things are still not looking good as Kano went back with Xing Yi, but on the bright side unlike Kira in Deception Kano can juggle now, his 1,1 can do his proper juggles and can lead some damage, 1,1,3,4 can lead a free throw, but all of this requires the damage buff again and doing this can be unsafe because you instantly get a projectile in the face (unless the person does it too late), his knives got a new combo and it's 4 and this gives extra damage, problem is Kano's combos can be unsafe and avoid using Xing Yi's -> 2 as it's painfully slow, Kano's eye laser is still here so that's good, cannon ball and fist of power has the same purpose but cannon ball does more damage but's it's unsafe and it's vice versa with the other special (still can be unsafe).
      Now in the NRS games is where im not into but I will try, MK9 is I don't know but here he was bottom tier or low tier you can say, MKX is a mix he's good in cutthroat and he's okay in cybernetic and commando is his worst but he's still okay as low counter can dodge projectiles and build meter and commando can do tick throws.
      MK11 is something I don't know but I hear he's getting good results, but I tried my best how good was Kano in his career.
