@@Sayonara_Sumiu can see Shao lost his hammer and they flew off to the mountains. how shao came back and got back all the way up to the pyramid? bs retcon.
@@deexero Unless it wasn't Shao at all but instead a clone. Deception told us he used a decoy in place of himself when he suspected the Deadly Alliance's betrayal
@@The_GK1I find always the idea of Shao Kahn using a decoy as a fucking dumb retcon. We’ve gotten Shao Kahn as the main villain of the spotlight, so why can’t we just use Onaga for the main villain one last time? Oh right, ITS SHAO KAHN
I adore this intro. People usually under-estimate this game. MK Armageddon is still my favorite mk game: phenomenal intro, huge amount of fighters and arenas, interesting Konquest mode with Taven, intriguing Kreate-A-Fighter mode, amazing Motor Kombats, beautiful soundtrack, lovely Air combos
It's funny, the next game (or well, next one in chronological order) had them as best friends from the beginning. I wish Kabal would be brought back as a good guy again in MK1
This intro brings back memories of when MK lore was in a golden period. My favorite moments imo that really drew my attention were Onaga taking Shao Kahn away and Zombie Liu Kang returning to exact vengeance on Shang Tsung.
fact that shao kahn was kidnapped by onaga to the far away mountains and beats the latter and manages to make his way back to the pyramid and punch is way to blaze shows how much of bad-ass he is and that he deserves to be emperor
It honestly didn't make much sense to me, because Rayden, Quan chi, and Shand Tsung unleashed all of their power and couldn't even scratch Onaga. Which makes you wonder how Shao Khan could have survived, let alone beat Onaga.
@@We_Are_Borg_478 good question. Tbf tho, half the cast can teleport, so we could ask the same thing about raiden, scorpion, shang tsung, smoke, noob, etc. Lets just explain that away by them being blinded by their "insatiable bloodlust", maybe? 😅
I really want a MK game where you can choose the Armageddon skins where they're applicable. It would be a really nice nod to one of the best games in the franchise.
@@JMObyx Y'know, i've been thinking about this again lately. We know that officially Shao Khan was the one to kill Blaze and became unstoppable. What if after he got the godlike power was when he killed Shujinko along with everyone else who was still alive at that point?
@DarkShadow-hy6iqHe joined the Forces of Darkness because in Deception he was promised by the Elder Gods that his family and clan wld be resurrected. And they did do just that, but they were all only specters like him, and Scorpion didn’t take that so well.
@ Well, it’s not like everyone on the Forces of Darkness were all allies. We saw Shang Tsung and Shao fighting each other in the intro so that proves my point. And we have a lot of neutral characters in the Forces of Darkness like Hotaru and Havik.
@@TheSixteen60 firstly, Shao and Shang were allied with Quan chi and Onaga during the konquest mode, all alliances just go out the window the moment the pyramid comes out. Second, the neutrals being on the darkness side only makes things even worse, characters like scorpion, Nitara, hotaru are suppose to be neutral, not join the same side as people they despise.
I remember watching this intro for first time, I was pretty shocked and devastated at the undead Liu Kang because he’s my favourite character and before this game I was on a hiatus from MK games and the last one I played was MK4. It wasn’t until i finally played MK Deadly alliance and MK Deception did I find out how it happened.

Funniest things from this intro: 1. Stryker just casually punch mileena for absolutely no reason other than she was standing the closest to him. 2. Onaga just there to snatch Shao and then fly away, completely uninterested in whatever the fack everyone is fighting for. 3. Kenshi lost a sword fight to Quan Chi of all people. 4. Shujinko being tossed away like a random npc.
Honestly at the end when Shang tsung almost reached the pyramid I honestly thought if it wasn't for mileena and shojinko I honestly think Shang tsung would have reached the top of the pyramid and zombie Liu Kang wouldn't have been fast enough to stop him
1:40 I've always loved how every fighter has their own personal battle (Scorpion VS Sub-Zero, Raiden VS Shinnok, Kung Lao VS Baraka, Jax VS Quan Chi) while Shao Kahn just takes out anything with a pulse. 🤣
Makes me feel like mk1 could bring everyone of these people back if they really wanted to(mk deadly alliance, deception and Armageddon were my first video games ever )
I would love to believe that NRS are working extensively to recreate such a profound sequel to such a game like Armageddon. Image a modern day recreation of this story, after seeing how amazing the last few games from MK9 till MK1 (2023) have been so far

I friggin know!! I was expecting his moveset to have some crazy range or be unique with the chains to do some cool combos
The devs know that chains as a weapon would be VERY broken, just like Air Combos

@usenamer3635 we need to call for it back. We gott let boon know we want it as DLC.
@@WindyREDPanda I guess people just didn’t like it
@usenamer3635 I haven't met a player who didn't have great time with a friend or two in racing mode. It was a lot of fun.
Zombie Kang was the shit. I wish they revisited that idea.
Funniest things from this intro:
1. Stryker just casually punch mileena for absolutely no reason other than she was standing the closest to him.
2. Onaga just there to snatch Shao and then fly away, completely uninterested in whatever the fack everyone is fighting for.
3. Kenshi lost a sword fight to Quan Chi of all people.
4. Shujinko being tossed away like a random npc.
The Og Mk Timeline Quan Chi is a Lot Stronger than The Nrs Quan Chis
I cannot stop laughing of Stryker knocking out Mileena after start running for no reason, it's hilarious😂
How fitting is that this served as the end of the original timeline.
there will never be a mk intro as legendary as this one ever.
Honestly at the end when Shang tsung almost reached the pyramid I honestly thought if it wasn't for mileena and shojinko I honestly think Shang tsung would have reached the top of the pyramid and zombie Liu Kang wouldn't have been fast enough to stop him
1:40 I've always loved how every fighter has their own personal battle (Scorpion VS Sub-Zero, Raiden VS Shinnok, Kung Lao VS Baraka, Jax VS Quan Chi) while Shao Kahn just takes out anything with a pulse. 🤣
Makes me feel like mk1 could bring everyone of these people back if they really wanted to(mk deadly alliance, deception and Armageddon were my first video games ever )
Crazy mk1 had something similar
Only missing striker first hit
The times when Mortal Kombat was a Mortal Kombat 🥺
1:29
Quan Chi: please don’t break mah leg!
Jax: Hmmmm no.
1:32
Quan chi: here we go
*Summons 💀💀*
Jax: 🤜💥 what else you got?
Shao Kahn: 💥🔨😁
One of the coolest intros of any game ever, tbh.
The end of the Midway timeline.
The only timeline where the lore is actually worth a damn
I would love to believe that NRS are working extensively to recreate such a profound sequel to such a game like Armageddon. Image a modern day recreation of this story, after seeing how amazing the last few games from MK9 till MK1 (2023) have been so far
IS BACK 🔥
Don't care what Ed Boon or anyone at NRS says,
At 3:11, Shao Kahn was done, he was at Onaga's mercy, in my opinion, he did not defeat Blaze.
It was clearly a decoy like he used in DA
Taven does defeat Blaze but the power ends up enhancing all the other Kombatants, so that’s how Shao was able to destroy everyone.
@@TheSixteen60 Wouldn't it enhance Onaga too though? He'd still be the strongest one there.
