@@haydenfisher1387 The general idea I do agree was probably his best and does remind me more of his MK9 alt, but the whole thing I agree was busy as hell.

As far as we can tell, Sektor and Cyrax in powered suits may just be because Bi-Han's cyber initiative has only just started, and this is just the start of the cyborg beginnings. So it makes sense when you think about it, that they're going what would be considered a test trial of this technology, before they REALLY get into the mad scientist realm. Spitballing a theory, but makes the most sense.
Hopefully you're right. What makes the cyber initiative so fucked up and interesting as a concept is the whole losing your humanity thing. Without that is just Iron Man. And Iron Man is cool of course but not as a replacement to the original concept.
considering Bi-Han gets Axed in that very plot I see that as a Narrative window for NRS to drop the whole Cyberization process considering how crap they did it with frost and how bad that was forgotten it's reference nowhere in MK1 tells me they don't want to go through with it.
I like the mk1 designs BUT why do they both have green LEDs? I mean green eyes and shit. Cyrax is the green one, that's okay, but Sektor should be blue. Not gonna lie, that pisses me off hard.
I do wish the masks were different as well. Being exosuits is a neat difference, still robotic but have the human aspect (likely from Liu Kang going "Ok, we're NOT allowing that at ALL this time") is neat, but same general design overall and same lighting just doesn't hit right. Sure, have them similar because it's teacher and student, but let them have some individual flair aside from weaponry.
I don't see as to why it is such a big dea for people like yourself cares about Cyrax and Sektor eyes. Like it's not difference that is if youre making it out of there designs with Cyrax having green eyes because it matches with her moves that shoots green nets is a bit redundant.
@@akilcharles3473 its not a big big Deal, its just how they always looked like, yellow with green and red with blue. Its like they would change Sub Zero to be a white ninja and Skorpion to be neon pink or whatever, you get the idea.

We'll see what they do with them in MK1, but it's hard to compare when they're just in Ironman suits
@@CyberDalek17 oh shit that’s right hahaha such a fucking waste! Rain’s fatality with the Queen reference also had very sick versions of Human Reptile and Human Smoke too!
Did you ever play the original games? Cyrax wasn't forced into anything. He only changed his mind AFTER he was reverted. He was so much more interesting until NRS retconned his lore to a wannabe boyscout
It wasn’t just Sektor and Cyrax that had their best designs in MK11. Almost every character looks their best in MK11. Mk1 is honestly a bit of a downgrade aesthetically.
I agree for the most part I do like Raiden in MK1, but it’s essentially a different character so I don’t think that counts And I do prefer Mileena and Kitana overall look in MK1 as well, but that might be it in the end.
I'd say it's a different kind of good, because there's still a lot of good designs in MK1 that I'd say are among their best designs. The ninjas all look great and have that uniform-but-individual stylization between them, Liu Kang fits the bill as the god of the game, and Kenshi arguably looks his best, even if I do like older, father Kenshi a LOT.
They're not robots. They're cyborgs. Looking like a cross between a human and robot makes sense in those early looks. And as someone who didn't know anything about BMX when the game came out and I was 9, they looked badass.
I agree. When I was a child the two cyborgs were the ones that caught my visual brain the most and the two I’m most nostalgic about in MK3 along with Kabal/Sheeva as honorable mentions
Best bot sound is definitely in MK9 with Sektor's X-Ray on another bot, because hearing that beefy ass "TING" as he rocket uppercuts them is just heavenly to hear every time.
MK11 is still, in my opinion, has the best designs out of all of the MKs, with a few exceptions. It's such a shame we never got to see Ermac or the Cyber Ninjas actually as playable characters in it... but maybe that's a blessing in disguise with how MK11 played.
"They look like they're about to jump on motorbikes" Bro, if cyborg ninjas started racing motorcycles during a martial arts apocalypse, I would have lost my goddamn childhood mind. On a serious note, I like the original designs despite their BMX style. I grew up with the first three games on Genesis so I'm used to that look and it really isn't a bad look. The newer designs for this latest iteration of them is generally good but the armors are also too similar, nothing really differentiates one from the other aside from color, but otherwise I like them.
Disagree on that Deadly Alliance Cyrax take. That is probably one of my favorite designs for Cyrax in all the games. EDIT: what I don’t like about MK1’s Sektor the colors. Peep the eyes, they aren’t blue anymore. Cyrax always had the green energy and Sektor had the blue energy. Idk why they changed it. Hopefully a color pallet can change that.
The mask being the same for both is also a miss for me, as well. I get it's like a general "We make these and the weapons are unique because of the user" but even then, let the costumes have a little more personal flair, even the base ninjas have that uniform-yet-different look to them.
I really hope they add the male versions of Cyrax and Sektor as alternate skins! They can definitely do it, just like there is the John Claude Van Damme outfit for Johnny cage with a different voice!
Yeah, the difference with that is that Johnny and John Claude Van Damme have super similar body types and builds, so giving the the same fatalities and fatal blows wouldn't be a problem since the models are so similar in shape. A malel body would be much wider than a female one, and likely taller, too. They would have to recreate the fatalities with the large models in mind.
Ahhh...nostalgic memories of frustrating my little brother to the point of tears because I would spam energy nets and bombs repeatedly. Now he'd probably stomp me in any fighting game 😅
Always been a big fan of the robot ninjas. Love there classic look, MKX (Triborg) I really love, MK11 is probably the best to me. MK1 iron man suits are probably a close second. ❤️💛
Netherrealm really said "Let's NOT make Sektor and Cyrax in any identifiable way outside of their color scheme and make the best modern designs in MK11 and MK1's Kameos locked behind Story Mode and Kameos, completely unplayable by normal means. That's how we're gonna please fans alright."
MK11 designs are cool, but they kinda lost the ninja aspect of cyber ninja. I like how that's very much present in MK1 designs, even if they are otherwise a little bit underwhelming.
I feel like the only one who doesn’t love the MK11 designs. Don’t get me wrong, they’re dope, but I actually don’t love the bulky-ness. I’d give them like an 8/10. I like the slightly more slim look more. I think my favourite might be the MK1 designs. It feels like a good blend between ninja robes and cybernetic’s and I love that they went back to making them basically being palette swaps. Very classic.
I like MK1 Sektor and Cyrax, but totally agree that it's a tragedy we didn't get to play as MK11 Sektor and Cyrax... those might be my favorite character designs across the entire roster in any game. They looked amazing. I hope we get to play as them at some point. Even if it's in the next game.
Am i the only one who thinks cyrax and sektor's sfx peaked in mk9. The sound of metal hitting is just so heavy and brutal. Their sfx in mkx, mk11 and mk1 just sound so weak.
I mean, you could also do something like keep Cyrax skinny and make Sektor thicker, to further differentiate them and give them a bit more characterisation. Cyrax as more "high-tech" trapper and Sektor as a more traditional enforcer/brawler.
@@aro480_ i prefer them looking similar to be honest Like them being up to cyber lin kueis standards where most clan members have to fit The difference maker being their colors, the way they fight, their gear and their behavior.
I gotta disagree with you on Cyrax’s look in MK: Annihilation. He looks cooler than most characters in that movie. I like that the mask is black with the entire head being yellow. Is it perfect?, no. But imo the cyber ninjas in that movie are one of the better parts of this horrendous sequel.
I personally like the MK1 designs more. It shows that they’re still ninjas with some tech to let them do cool stuff. I always thought the whole “robot ninja” thing was kinda silly so having them still be human while giving them their usual tech in armor really works for me. Before that I really enjoyed human Cyrax in MK9 too
I actually really dig the MK1 look, I know people prefer the robots but I like the idea of it being armor for them with the potential of like the body horror where they become the armor in the future. That said MK11 clears.
My only problem with the mk1 designs is surprisingly not the fact that they're human but rather the loss of unique designs for cyrax and sektor each, we went from 3 games in a row of them having similar aspects but mostly unique designs and them being the same costume again makes it feel like we've gone backwards back to the pallet swap days, like imagine if sub zero and scorpion had the same designs again that shit would not fly so it's a real bummer to see it happen to my bois/gals (also forever rip mk11 sektor and cyrax they deserved better)
I love every Version of Sektor and Cyrax and how far they have Evolved from their previous Versions and added new Upgrades and I still don’t mind the Genderbend and they look Sick as Hell.
With Sektor being one of my favorite MK characters, both of their MK9 and MK11 outfits are my favorite. I hate the new designs so much, not a fan of the helmets and I hate that they aren't robots. Not a fan of MK1 anyways so im fine with sticking to MK9 and X.
29 SECONDS?! Edited: Enjoyed the video. I also prefer the roboty versions. Every variation seems unsure of how much of cyborg/robot to go. You could say they started out more human-like and then transitioned into both sides, human/machine, as separate characters. Now....well they still seem unsure on how to balance that scale, but hey, we got missiles, nets, and uppercuts right. xD
But the 9-11 designs miss the ninja part of it. They’re supposed to be NINJA cyborgs. The gender swap and them being iron man ripoffs are dumb but they at least look like Ninja Cybers in MK1.
@@awesometaco8001 MK released Iron Man ladies before the Ironheart show managed to come out. That's a hilarious, yet probably accidental dunk on Disney
The suits are obviously just phase 1 of the cyber initiative. These kinds of changes normally happen gradually. The old story moved unnaturally fast. Starting with suits than progressing from there is way more believable. Sektor will clearly "upgrade" by the time we reach the next game (likely spurred on by whatever happens in the expansion).
But its especially hilarious watching special neckbeards lose their minds crying about how dez da weemoonz now, da weemonz can't be cyrax and sektor dez for da menz only
I like the BMX ones the best. I never thought of them as robots, more so as cyber-enhanced ninjas. They got cyber parts and cyber brains. The more they turn into bulky and clunky metal dudes the less I like them. MK11's are way too overdesigned for my taste. Also, general aesthetic thing, but their clunkier selves in MK9 and X and 11 had a much more uniform distribution of color. They were yellow and red all over, essentially. I like the original versions much more because in them the red/yellow is contrasted against black parts and it looks leagues more visually interesting than just having them be covered in uniformly colored armor bits IMO.
I will never not be salty about NRS making the most badass designs for Ermac, Sektor and Cyrax just for them to be unplayable
That Ermac design is too busy even for MK11

I like the BMX ones the best. I never thought of them as robots, more so as cyber-enhanced ninjas. They got cyber parts and cyber brains. The more they turn into bulky and clunky metal dudes the less I like them. MK11's are way too overdesigned for my taste.
Also, general aesthetic thing, but their clunkier selves in MK9 and X and 11 had a much more uniform distribution of color. They were yellow and red all over, essentially. I like the original versions much more because in them the red/yellow is contrasted against black parts and it looks leagues more visually interesting than just having them be covered in uniformly colored armor bits IMO.
Something I didnt think I'd hear in 2024: BeetleBorgs
Unrelated but has Max said anything about finishing Wukong? He's right at the end but he hasn't touched it for like two weeks now.
MK11 Sektor looks like a Bionicle.
You can actually play as sector and cyrax in Ahmad made for MK 11 where they're playable and have actual old school movesets
max didn't mention sector's lightsaber :(
PLEASE do Ryu Visual History WITH crossover titles
Hot take: I fucking hate Sektor’s mask in MK11
