The perfect game would be MK9 Roster with MKX style gameplay and MK11 Graphics with the darker vibe of the older games and rich content and full customization.
I personally hated the whole 'turning the old cast into evil zombies' thing terrible and the only redeeming feature of MK11 was undoing that, I just don't see what they have against classic characters that they refuse to let them go on before tearing them down ever since Deadly Alliance where Kung Lao should've won the tournament but instead got forever sidelined.
Yeah the whole revenant thing isn’t my cup of tea, they should just let characters die if they want to kill them off, bringing them back as revenants is just a cheap way to ‘kill’ off a character but still bring them back so fans aren’t mad, it’s kind of a weird half step
I think it *could* have worked especially for Liu Kang who shoulda been the main bad guy in MK11 they just dropped the ball big time and wasted the revenants as characters
there’s a way to work around all that and still have them as revenants but it’s just the fact they didn’t do jack shit with the idea so it just ended up being a stupid story thing
@@JayGaming-p2u oh wow, so I actually went to look it up and turns out I was actually only 6 when MK4 came out and 11 when MK:DA did, so my memory is absolute garbage.

Could’ve have said it better myself, I think if they cooked on mk1 for another year and added more stuff to do and maybe a krypt, it could be top 3 mk of all time imo
In my opinion gameplay of mk1 is amazing it's much better than mkx but as you said mk1 does fill rushed. invasion and worst of all the pricing of dlcs are awful.
Jason was the EXACT reason why I bought MKX. I especially love that they went with the version from Freddy Vs Jason because of how menacing he is due to his height alone. Plus his tattered jacket is badass
NRS games goes like this: MK9 > MKX > MK11 > MK1 Nothing has beaten the 2v2 mode and challenge towers from MK9 Best game in the franchise overall belongs to Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. The mainline games are a wonder to witness but that damn beat ‘em up co-op game is peak mk gaming in terms of gameplay mechanics and story mode. Get to play as Sub-Zero & Scorpion. Hidden smoke missions! They have MK2 as a secret game to play and you can do versus played out like a power stone game.
MKX is also THE MOST overrated MK game in the whole franchise. Surely, top 5 in most aspects. But everyone who never played anything before MKX, or maybe MK9 thinks MKX is the gift from above and are missing a general point that MK games have ALL been supreme jank, even though they're regarded as one of the big three. People liked them regardless because they were first and foremost fun. MK1 is the least fun MK in pretty much forever.
I like Cassie but Cassie Cage was a Mary Sue girlboss who somehow defeats Shinnok despite her taking the most Ls against the other fighters throughout the story mode until it's her chapter lol. Would've been better if Earthrealm and Outworld teamed up to battle Shinnok and defeat him.
LMFAO its hilarious how the herp derps that try to cry about MK1 but white knight cuck for MKX ignore the $30 per kombat pack for three combat packs that came to $90 dollars for 12 extra characters....Plus an extra 10 bucks to unlock Goro, plus an extra $10 bucks if you wanted to unlock Shao Khan without playing through the story mode, plus an extra $20 bucks if you wanted to just unlock the Krypt without having to search online for what was where or even deal with it period. Sooooo all in MKX could cost up to $190. MK11 was $70, plus $50 for the expansion plus another $90 for the combat packs soooooo $210... But it is also hilarious that some of the white knights LMFAO pretend its all WB, LMFAO NRS could never be the ones who make those decisions LMFAO...Especially when we know for a FACT that its Rocksteady who wanted to make Suicide Squad what it was and, WB even questioned if Rocksteady was sure that is what they wanted to do when it didn't seem to be working super well
I feel like mortal Kombat x is the last good game in the franchise Because after that mortal Kombat 11 just really destroyed the franchise same thing with one -beloved storyline gets tarnished with a lot of retcon and stupid changes -now it's focusing on time travel because shinnok had a mother for some reason and the most stupidest villain to ever exist and now the whole thing is unrecognizable -they lacked a lot of content from the previous game and now they are more into DLC -you can abuse the fatal blow so much And so on and so on I can go on how bad does franchise have fallen off
This is the comment . - Mk11 is really good but the majority of the community was turned off because of the launch, and the fact it's not a sped rush down game. - I don't get the "tarnished " storyline when Mkx stuff just happened just cause, power scaling was ruined, and the only valid storyline was Takedas. - The only content they really lacked was the test your modes which is fair,but tbh y'all were more upset that you couldn't buy the krypt . - majority of the mk11 players were ass until aftermath ,and got destroyed by fatal blows, short hops, and armor breaks. - Mk11 was disliked because it returned to traditional fighting game values and people didn't like to have to think. Now suddenly people are starting to look back on the older games differently.
Neither was MkX, it became that if you weren't good enough as a fighting game should be. If you are better then you should blitz the guy Infront of you. Mk11 changed that so that everyone could be the same level damn near and it sucked. Fights were slow as hell like to a crawl compared to mk9 and MkX and even the older mks. Hell umk3 plays better than mk11 and mk1. @@Synical02
@@Synical02i think the main reason people were turned of by mk 11 is that it was too different, we want mk not street fighter with a block button and fatalities lol

Here a Mileena Gameplan Breakdown in a nutshell: -Ravenous: Pure annoyingness. Break enemies' ancles with D3 hoping them to block low and then Low Pounce them; Mix them with combos to make them guess if next is a low or Low Pounce -Piercing: Pure controll spacing with B1, and B1, 2. If you are good a neutral this will make a neutral monster. I dunno why this var has Low Sai and the others dont :( -Etheral: Pure baiting, dont worry about doing unsafe stuffs, just EX Fade to catch them on their reversal. Save your meter, build it up by zoning; Good neutral is needed to get the most of this var Sorry if I misswrote something, Im not a native english speaker
Like Maximus said, I actually started recording it back in June but my hard drive died and I lost all the footage so I had to restart from scratch but to be fair I did put it off for awhile lol
I never understood why they moved away from the MKX and MK9 gameplay style. MK11 and MK1 feel so slow, it's like they are afraid to turn up the speed of the game.
I think MK11 is overhated. I’ve been playing MK11, MKX and MK1 the last few weeks. I find myself like the gameplay and mechanics a bit more for MK1 over 11, but I find the graphics and movement of MKX and 11 to have a more MK feel. When I move around in MK1 it kinda feels like I’m playing Injustice 2, because I’ve also been playing injustice 2. Which isn’t a bad thing, I like both
@@volktol4432 mk11 is such a good game way better than mk1 but In my opinion mkx is the best out of the three I still play it to this day even tho I have khaos reigns bundle in mk1 and gold edition in mk11
@@Ereneagle6 MKX is my favorite as well. MK11 and MO1 could go either way for me, I’m not crazy about the kameo system but I find the creativity with it enjoyable, I like the feel of MK11 tho, it feels like MK but the speed of it reminds me of Street fighter in a good way
The thing with self detonate (predator) is that it launches the opponent for free, if you land a throw or the lunge stab you get a full kombo without having to use meter
I just don't remember being disappointed or let down by anything in MKX. The characters were great, the DLC characters were great and the story was all it needed to be. MKX was great!
Great content. Great format. Thank you for showing me the endings for characters I couldn't be bothered to buy. Do one for MK11? I think i got all those characters, but.... shit I just want your opinion.
Maybe unpopular opinion, but I think Mileena’s design in MK X is her best because she has lips in the middle of sharp teeth. It explains how she can pronounce the “M”, “F”, “P”, “B” perfectly
X has one of the best versions of Reptile. Loved it for that, the dark graphical style and the roster (except for all the guest nonsense). Also what you missed on Reptile's invisible variation is that he takes no damage on the first hit that breaks invisibility.
MKX i consider peak mortal kombat, i remember the days in 2015/16 and just having the time of my life. nostalgia aside, it’s still a really good game and i should go back to play it more often.
I agree with you all the way that MKX is better then MK11 and MK1 in terms of gameplay, story, and not paying more money for characters that should've been unlockable in game
That's not saying much considering even the actual MK1 is better than MK1 when you consider the limitation they had at the time but still managed to make a game as fun as it was.
In all seriousness the last mk game had spawn which was awesome one of the best DLC characters, predator and alien huge fan from many years back,and predator had some of the best combos easy damage time of hits,so fun, MK 1 so far I'm bored already getting through the story mode just the first half was a slog, the characters are just been there played that just brought back whole characters from 3D era which I never really cared for in the first place and I played this s*** out of the mortal Kombat games, like allot so that is not a bias opinion, however MK accident k11 just hit it out of the park with the character roster the mechanics The look of the game I'm sure the new one looks a little more polished and flashy on a more new engine but I just prefer the art style of both MKX and MK11 I don't want a bunch of young MK characters I wanted to do that I would just play the original mortal Kombat nevertheless they also went out of their way to make all the female characters just undesirable ugly you know because inclusivity has to infect everything now,and got the khaos rights edition for a really nice deal,and still tried to play and deleted it twice so far just not really enjoying it that much
idk why the modern mks have a... synthetic sound design? like everything sounds so fake and plastic, but in mkx for example the hit sound effects sound so meaty and satisfying
I know what you mean. I’ve been playing MK11 & MKX recently, and there’s a lot of *shing*shing*shwom* in MK11 whereas in MKX I immediately felt how raw the attacks felt.
My cousins and I are MK diehards. We have been playing MK games together for over 20 years. Put countless hours in basically every single release from the sega genesis to the modern era. When MK9 came out, it blew our minds. To finally have back 2D MK was incredible, and the tag team mode was perfect for all of us to play at the same time. The gameplay was fantastic. MKX came out, and while we were disappointed in the lack of tag team, but the gameplay was so good, we were able to forgive it and enjoy it. Those 2 games are the peak of the franchise, and we'll still occasionally debate on which one is superior. Even without having the deep lore and unique vibes of the 3D era or even the initial 2D era, those games made up for it just with the gameplay itself. MK11 was an immediate disappointment. That game was just lacking the proper soul similar to what MKX and MK9 had. We tried so hard to like it but, we couldn't. MK1 was no better. Too many people focus only on what has the "best graphics" and what's new, instead of having the best gameplay or actually being interesting. Modern MK is so lame and boring. A shadow of what it use to be. I hope that one day MK can be actually good again. But, since it's selling so well despite being a shadow of it's former self, I have my doubts.
Don't quote me too hard on this one but after doing the Back, Forward, X (Or A for the low version) you have to do forward, down, back, X to set the trap in place. It then detonates on impact or over time.
As much as I love Liu Kang as a character, in MK1 I think he made Sektor into an angsty, overly ambitious tech-girl who happens to be in love with this timeline’s angsty edgelord of a “grandmaster” (Kuai Liang/Sub-Zero is much more dignified than current Bi-Han is Noob Saibot or not). Meaning that these two couples wouldn’t be taken seriously now. Also is it just me or is this Sektor more whinier than Frost?
If I had to rank all the Mortal Kombat games I’ve played, it would look like this (Might be controversial): 1. Mortal Kombat X 2. Mortal Kombat 1 3. Mortal Kombat Trilogy 4. Mortal Kombat 11
36:53 all of the characters who aren't on the roster had their animations imported from mk9 when it comes to their moves, they were just touched up a tiny bit, so they weren't exactly new animations
I was 14 an half saved up money bought this game on release day, was such a hype playing everyday all day even before going to school butt i struggled to master the fast gameplay so i decided to fully try and learn scorpion and a bit of kitana, i have tried playing it recently and my frustration is same as my 14 year old self but the gameplay is fun and gave made me a bit of nostalgic feeling tbh great video too mate
I just bought xl for 20$ cuz I missed it this easily the best mk game imo learherface jason and goro make it better than the other rosters too, u crashing out 1 min in the vid earned u another sub too😂😂😂💯
I actually enjoyed the story and the new characters. Is a shame the new games didn't continue using many of them. At the end of this game, I thought they were going to put characters like Takeda and Cassie in the spotlight in the sequels. can't say about MK11 and the last one since I haven't played them, but this is the MK game I enjoyed the most. good video.
Johnny deadass looks like the postal dude at 7:00 also MK11 100% should've been the mortal kombat tournament from the perspective of outworld trying to get emperor raiden off their asses. MKX endings are almost all bangers
Jonny Cage stunt double is probably one of the more heavy leaning into combos, I’ve done many %50-60 combos off stunt double, it’s probably his most creative free move set
Only just dawned on me, most of the endings, except the ones where an alternate winner against Shinnok is explicitly shown, are canon. Well, ideally would've been canon before MK11 brushed over most of them haha. Some carry connected narratives similar to MK1's endings. Pretty cool aspect. Really makes one think about how MK11 would've gone if it was a more direct sequel to MKX. Tons of interesting concepts such as Raiden now invading the other realms with Scorpion as his champion. Quan Chi technically becoming the champion of the elder gods like Scorpion did in the original timeline. The resurrection of Shang Tsung. Reptile, Kenshi and Takeda having gone on their own separate quests hence why they're likely not present in MK11, Kung Lao having been cured from the revenant status, etc. I think the only ending I don't like is Predator's as it's waayyyy out of character for a Yautja to become a Konquerer that decimates worlds and doesn't take trophies, unless its implying he got corrupted like Raiden because of Shinnok's amulet, or that he became a bad blood hunter. About MK1's gameplay, it's weird cos you can tell they maybe wanted variations again or a semblence of them not only because of the kameo mixups but also some characters do have a style change in the middle of the match, especially Kenshi and maybe Noob (Embrace Khaos is more of an enhancer that leaves you Saibot-less after it's used up so you end up playing without the shadow double), and in other cases like Takeda where his moveset is clearly a hybrid of all his MKX Variations. I definitely agree though, it'd be neat if real-time move styles/variations like in the 3D era came back. I do wanna correct the Krypt section, MK1's shrine doesn't require you to spend IRL money, although it is pretty lacking in content, by the time you gain a LOT of coins from Invasions mode you basically unlock most if not all of the skins, gear, concept, profile banners and art, and as of recent Brutalities. I understand the complaint about the microtransactions but they've really learned from the criticisms and backlash the fandom threw to the point they were practically giving out free skins on the lead up to khaos reigns + the update for it giving out tons of free content too (even to those who did not buy the DLC), as well as making Invasions a more fun experience (well, subjective.) in comparison to it's early days. Amazing video dude, I love your content and glad to see another MK vid, your very direct, funny and aggressive style is charming and appealing. I wonder what the title of your MK1 video will be haha (MK1 is better than MK1 ok just kidding lol.) PS: Funfact, due to mods allowing you to play as the NPC exclusive characters (Rain, Story Tanya, Sindel, etc.), it was found that Baraka is compatible with some of Alien's moves, so yeah he definitely lives on with the Xeno.
For Mileena Racenous pounce sequence moves you have to do them pretty fast and you also have to do them backwards because you switch sides with the opponent
The perfect MK game would be MK9 Roster with MKX style gameplay and MK11 Graphics with the darker vibe of the older games and richer content and full customization.
00:30 interesting. I grew up with the 3d era games. Specifically deception, Armageddon and shaolin monks. Might be nostalgia but those are still my favourite. Cant beat the ost of the older games. And as far as 00:52 is concerned, I didn't start playing those for the story, but damn the story and lore was awesome.
I had my gripes with MKX at the time, but I've found myself playing it recently after all these years due to MK1 holding my attention for all of one week.
Graphics aren't bad for a 2015 game and While I like the gritty and darker vibe they were going for I agree that it has a muted color palette than MK9, MK9 has a better aesthetic. The game needs a remaster to give a fresh touch-up on not just the overall visuals but the models and other various fixes imo.
I remember playing mkx all the time with my brother when i was 10 and first bought it. I lost my shit to the xenomorph being revealed and played it for so long, can’t say the same for mk1 tho. Bought it with a friend to play together and after a good 2 hour we got bored and just went back to playing mkx and had so much more fun
MK XL is the ultimate modern MK experience in my book. Awesome engine, visuals, audio. 10/10 everything. MK11 had that pointless 2-bar change, overdone the fatalities (even for MK standards), but was enjoyable. MK 1 is just a mess. I dislike most everything about it.
What upset me is I wish a NRS or a leak comes and says hey if you support khaos reigns sales theres a chance for KP3 /story expansion but hey it is what it is
The Dualist spheres have to be paused mid-flight with the same input and they detonate after some time. It's a setup variation just like Master of Storms.
41:25 I would've laughed so hard if I heard you mentioned that Kitana has hands-down the STUPIDEST looking crouching kick NRS has ever made XD ....Also I came here for the Daddy Baraka jokes (Though I'm more of a Reptile simp because I like scalies too much)
Mk x was so much fun and the netcode for online matches actually worked (at least in my experience) my only gripe with the game is the art style, a lot of the character looks straight up ugly and a lot of the alt skins that were actually worth wearing were locked behind pay walls.
MKX is the vest of all MKs. Guess what after playing MK4, the only MK i played again is MKX. I played it yesterday, today and gonna played for a long time. Btw It revolutionize Fatalities, costumes, fight everything.
0:52. You were 11 when the game came out so the story in the "Netherrealm" era was objectively looked at as just plain bad. Back in the day the story for all the 3D games were fairly decent and didn't leave too many unresolved cliffhangers out to dry and wither; can't speak for the Arcade era tho. Wasn't around that early lol
Hello Steele, i click on you video because i on 90% agree with you statement at beginning. MKX is like smaller but "better" brother of MK9. For example i think story mode is slightly better in MKX, because i was really dissapointed from "tournament storyline" - it was too short and could have actually fill full story mode (that why 1st story of MK9 is great and do that i would like to see in MK9. Also i kinda hate game mechanisms of MK1 - Rounds seems to be shorter and more blank, cameo system is annoying because you canť turn off so its no 1v1 (MK11 do it better by temporal bonuses which you can CHOOSE to use, not being FORCED as core mechanic) and also absence of variations makes a characters fights poorer and meh - in MK11 you can even "make your own". Also MKX has better roster including DLC characters. Is kinda weird that Kenshi, Raiden and Lui Kang are reason why i have 10% of liking MK1 - due to New Era version are nicely done (Raiden as humble polite boy who gets "god powers", Kenshi tragically lost his eyes and his relationship with Johnny is good, Lui Kang is sympathetic as usual and now even non-hefty god). Why is it weird? Because overall most of game SUB-ZERO is my most favourite character, MK1 Sub-Zero is "decent-ish" but MKX and MK11 do him more fun to play and watch in both story modes and multiplayers. Also some choices as make Cyrax and Sektor womans is kinda weird and not talking about Janet Cage. Sorry but other canon womans are better than this - except DVorah - i hate her most of all exist characters. BTW: My most favourite MKX character variation is: Lui Kang (Dualist) and Takeda (Lasher) So i agree with you, MKX is better than MK1 but i think MK9 and MKX are slightly equal PEAK. Good video and i like that explaining into details. Also will you do MK11 is better than MK1? Have a great day
I like MK 11 and people tell me it's the worst, mind you I've been playing MK since the original MK 1(92). I'm the same age as the franchise, so when I say the new MK 1 is bad I mean it's just boring and has nothing to do for single players
There was a massive large snow storm back in the day, so everyone was inside. So what do you do during a snow storm? Play Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. MKDA was the most played MK game. Even people who dont follow the series of MK played that game. Not because of how cool the game is, but because everyone was stuck inside.

Still own Shaolin for ps2! Peak couch co op. And your Mk list is mine in that exact order. 🍻

My top 5 MK games would go
1. MK9
2. MKX
3. Shaolin Monks
4. Deception

True
I love MKX and its more balance and MK1 dlc is not worth it in my opinion, $60 for the full DLC is crazy
Yeah I fully agree
LMFAO its hilarious how the herp derps that try to cry about MK1 but white knight cuck for MKX ignore the $30 per kombat pack for three combat packs that came to $90 dollars for 12 extra characters....Plus an extra 10 bucks to unlock Goro, plus an extra $10 bucks if you wanted to unlock Shao Khan without playing through the story mode, plus an extra $20 bucks if you wanted to just unlock the Krypt without having to search online for what was where or even deal with it period.
Sooooo all in MKX could cost up to $190.
MK11 was $70, plus $50 for the expansion plus another $90 for the combat packs soooooo $210...
But it is also hilarious that some of the white knights LMFAO pretend its all WB, LMFAO NRS could never be the ones who make those decisions LMFAO...Especially when we know for a FACT that its Rocksteady who wanted to make Suicide Squad what it was and, WB even questioned if Rocksteady was sure that is what they wanted to do when it didn't seem to be working super well
I feel like mortal Kombat x is the last good game in the franchise
Because after that mortal Kombat 11 just really destroyed the franchise same thing with one
-beloved storyline gets tarnished with a lot of retcon and stupid changes
-now it's focusing on time travel because shinnok had a mother for some reason and the most stupidest villain to ever exist and now the whole thing is unrecognizable
-they lacked a lot of content from the previous game and now they are more into DLC
-you can abuse the fatal blow so much
And so on and so on I can go on how bad does franchise have fallen off

- Mk11 is really good but the majority of the community was turned off because of the launch, and the fact it's not a sped rush down game.
- I don't get the "tarnished " storyline when Mkx stuff just happened just cause, power scaling was ruined, and the only valid storyline was Takedas.
- The only content they really lacked was the test your modes which is fair,but tbh y'all were more upset that you couldn't buy the krypt .
- majority of the mk11 players were ass until aftermath ,and got destroyed by fatal blows, short hops, and armor breaks.
- Mk11 was disliked because it returned to traditional fighting game values and people didn't like to have to think.
Now suddenly people are starting to look back on the older games differently.
Neither was MkX, it became that if you weren't good enough as a fighting game should be. If you are better then you should blitz the guy Infront of you. Mk11 changed that so that everyone could be the same level damn near and it sucked. Fights were slow as hell like to a crawl compared to mk9 and MkX and even the older mks. Hell umk3 plays better than mk11 and mk1. @@Synical02
@@Synical02i think the main reason people were turned of by mk 11 is that it was too different, we want mk not street fighter with a block button and fatalities lol
He earned my subscribe 1:24 people really try to rage bait and yell at me when I say 50$ for garbage isn’t ok while they give away free content to newbies for more longevity 👏👏👏👏 keep doing your thang
REAL they dropped an unfinished game then charge players to buy the rest of the game, thank you for the sub
@@steele1buy the rest of the game? They made us pay full price for the unfinished version😂😂😂😂
Here a Mileena Gameplan Breakdown in a nutshell:
-Ravenous: Pure annoyingness. Break enemies' ancles with D3 hoping them to block low and then Low Pounce them; Mix them with combos to make them guess if next is a low or Low Pounce
-Piercing: Pure controll spacing with B1, and B1, 2. If you are good a neutral this will make a neutral monster. I dunno why this var has Low Sai and the others dont :(
-Etheral: Pure baiting, dont worry about doing unsafe stuffs, just EX Fade to catch them on their reversal. Save your meter, build it up by zoning; Good neutral is needed to get the most of this var
Sorry if I misswrote something, Im not a native english speaker
MKX was the last MK with that dark Gritty feeling
Mk11 did
@ no it didn’t don’t
It’s been 7 months and u finally made the X video 😭🙏
He wanted to do it months ago but his disc drive broke or something like that causing him to lose all footage.
I knew it was about to come out bc the MK9 video popped back up in my recommended
Like Maximus said, I actually started recording it back in June but my hard drive died and I lost all the footage so I had to restart from scratch but to be fair I did put it off for awhile lol
I never understood why they moved away from the MKX and MK9 gameplay style. MK11 and MK1 feel so slow, it's like they are afraid to turn up the speed of the game.
Agreed mk11 is also better than mk1 tbh (PLEASE READ MY REPLY BEFORE DISAGREEING)
I think MK11 is overhated. I’ve been playing MK11, MKX and MK1 the last few weeks. I find myself like the gameplay and mechanics a bit more for MK1 over 11, but I find the graphics and movement of MKX and 11 to have a more MK feel. When I move around in MK1 it kinda feels like I’m playing Injustice 2, because I’ve also been playing injustice 2. Which isn’t a bad thing, I like both
@@volktol4432 mk11 is such a good game way better than mk1 but In my opinion mkx is the best out of the three I still play it to this day even tho I have khaos reigns bundle in mk1 and gold edition in mk11
@@Ereneagle6 MKX is my favorite as well. MK11 and MO1 could go either way for me, I’m not crazy about the kameo system but I find the creativity with it enjoyable, I like the feel of MK11 tho, it feels like MK but the speed of it reminds me of Street fighter in a good way
The roster in MK1 is way better but they fumbled the bag
Mk11 is genuine garbage
The thing with self detonate (predator) is that it launches the opponent for free, if you land a throw or the lunge stab you get a full kombo without having to use meter
I just don't remember being disappointed or let down by anything in MKX.
The characters were great, the DLC characters were great and the story was all it needed to be.
MKX was great!
In 10 years, people will be shitting on MK14 and saying MK1 was better.
Great content. Great format. Thank you for showing me the endings for characters I couldn't be bothered to buy.
Do one for MK11? I think i got all those characters, but.... shit I just want your opinion.
I’ll do one for mk11 too lol thank you for the compliments!!
1:16:15 Yoooo you wildin for replacing Predator with “Drake”😂😂👏🏾 this becoming my fav channel
“Playing as Dr. Disrespect”💀
I was hoping someone would notice lmao
@@steele1 Gotta give credit where credits due man!👏🏾
@@steele1 you're so real for including those things, LMAO
Maybe unpopular opinion, but I think Mileena’s design in MK X is her best because she has lips in the middle of sharp teeth. It explains how she can pronounce the “M”, “F”, “P”, “B” perfectly
X has one of the best versions of Reptile. Loved it for that, the dark graphical style and the roster (except for all the guest nonsense). Also what you missed on Reptile's invisible variation is that he takes no damage on the first hit that breaks invisibility.
i got mkx for like 1 or 2 dollars usd best deal of my fucking life
We gotta bring the mkx hype back. I’ve been streaming this game so much this past month and I found out the community for this game is still Huge
my favourite is mk9 even though its so old
The game needs a remaster to give a fresh touch-up on not just the overall visuals but the models and other various fixes on gameplay and etc imo.
It's the only mk after 9 with legit damage system to the body.
MKX i consider peak mortal kombat, i remember the days in 2015/16 and just having the time of my life. nostalgia aside, it’s still a really good game and i should go back to play it more often.
I agree with you all the way that MKX is better then MK11 and MK1 in terms of gameplay, story, and not paying more money for characters that should've been unlockable in game
Exactly
Imo, the story in mk1 and mk11 was better
MKX has like 9 dlc characters, tf do you mean?
I agree too, I don’t play mk1, but I think MKX is peak imo
Mkx was goated but mk9 was the true goat of mk games
That's not saying much considering even the actual MK1 is better than MK1 when you consider the limitation they had at the time but still managed to make a game as fun as it was.
In all seriousness the last mk game had spawn which was awesome one of the best DLC characters, predator and alien huge fan from many years back,and predator had some of the best combos easy damage time of hits,so fun, MK 1 so far I'm bored already getting through the story mode just the first half was a slog, the characters are just been there played that just brought back whole characters from 3D era which I never really cared for in the first place and I played this s*** out of the mortal Kombat games, like allot so that is not a bias opinion, however MK accident k11 just hit it out of the park with the character roster the mechanics The look of the game I'm sure the new one looks a little more polished and flashy on a more new engine but I just prefer the art style of both MKX and MK11 I don't want a bunch of young MK characters I wanted to do that I would just play the original mortal Kombat nevertheless they also went out of their way to make all the female characters just undesirable ugly you know because inclusivity has to infect everything now,and got the khaos rights edition for a really nice deal,and still tried to play and deleted it twice so far just not really enjoying it that much
you put so much time and effort into these vids. thanks bro
thank you, i truly did put a lot of time into this
Mkx is so much funner than mk1 all the characters feel good to use just wish it had kabal
I love mkx the last best mk we got before it went to shit
idk why the modern mks have a... synthetic sound design? like everything sounds so fake and plastic, but in mkx for example the hit sound effects sound so meaty and satisfying
I know what you mean. I’ve been playing MK11 & MKX recently, and there’s a lot of *shing*shing*shwom* in MK11 whereas in MKX I immediately felt how raw the attacks felt.
My cousins and I are MK diehards. We have been playing MK games together for over 20 years. Put countless hours in basically every single release from the sega genesis to the modern era. When MK9 came out, it blew our minds. To finally have back 2D MK was incredible, and the tag team mode was perfect for all of us to play at the same time. The gameplay was fantastic. MKX came out, and while we were disappointed in the lack of tag team, but the gameplay was so good, we were able to forgive it and enjoy it. Those 2 games are the peak of the franchise, and we'll still occasionally debate on which one is superior. Even without having the deep lore and unique vibes of the 3D era or even the initial 2D era, those games made up for it just with the gameplay itself. MK11 was an immediate disappointment. That game was just lacking the proper soul similar to what MKX and MK9 had. We tried so hard to like it but, we couldn't. MK1 was no better. Too many people focus only on what has the "best graphics" and what's new, instead of having the best gameplay or actually being interesting. Modern MK is so lame and boring. A shadow of what it use to be. I hope that one day MK can be actually good again. But, since it's selling so well despite being a shadow of it's former self, I have my doubts.
Mkx would be my fav if not for how colorless it is. It just feels sad
You want rainbow colors. Gayass
A little more variety in color would have been nice but I like how “realistic” the maps feel, though my previous statement still stands.
Don't quote me too hard on this one but after doing the Back, Forward, X (Or A for the low version) you have to do forward, down, back, X to set the trap in place. It then detonates on impact or over time.
I've been waiting for this since your mk1 video first came out finally after 1 year
Not a year lol 7 months but still a long time
As much as I love Liu Kang as a character, in MK1 I think he made Sektor into an angsty, overly ambitious tech-girl who happens to be in love with this timeline’s angsty edgelord of a “grandmaster” (Kuai Liang/Sub-Zero is much more dignified than current Bi-Han is Noob Saibot or not). Meaning that these two couples wouldn’t be taken seriously now. Also is it just me or is this Sektor more whinier than Frost?
I mean hell my online match clips alone should be evident how much hyped this game is!
If I had to rank all the Mortal Kombat games I’ve played, it would look like this (Might be controversial):
1. Mortal Kombat X
2. Mortal Kombat 1
3. Mortal Kombat Trilogy
4. Mortal Kombat 11
36:53 all of the characters who aren't on the roster had their animations imported from mk9 when it comes to their moves, they were just touched up a tiny bit, so they weren't exactly new animations
That makes sense actually
I totally agree with how rushed and unprepared mk1 has felt. It’s not worth the price.
I live for the steele retrospectives u gotta drop more gang
I was 14 an half saved up money bought this game on release day, was such a hype playing everyday all day even before going to school butt i struggled to master the fast gameplay so i decided to fully try and learn scorpion and a bit of kitana, i have tried playing it recently and my frustration is same as my 14 year old self but the gameplay is fun and gave made me a bit of nostalgic feeling tbh great video too mate
Thank you
I've been waiting for this one!
That intro... I love that! You tell em!!!
Mortal kombat 9 is better than all of mortal kombat.
17:32 This is what I have been waiting for.
"Mkx is better than Mk1" really?
Even MK11 is better than MK1
I hate how in the arcade ending where it states that said character is a revenant. THEY DON'T FUCKING LOOK LIKE A REVENANT.
Truth actually lol
Great video, but when you talked about triborg, you forgot to mention cyber sub-zero as another variation!
I just bought xl for 20$ cuz I missed it this easily the best mk game imo learherface jason and goro make it better than the other rosters too, u crashing out 1 min in the vid earned u another sub too😂😂😂💯
21:55 cool transition
I actually enjoyed the story and the new characters. Is a shame the new games didn't continue using many of them. At the end of this game, I thought they were going to put characters like Takeda and Cassie in the spotlight in the sequels. can't say about MK11 and the last one since I haven't played them, but this is the MK game I enjoyed the most. good video.
Johnny deadass looks like the postal dude at 7:00
also MK11 100% should've been the mortal kombat tournament from the perspective of outworld trying to get emperor raiden off their asses. MKX endings are almost all bangers
I agree X is better.
Great video! I cannot stop consuming MK content.
Jonny Cage stunt double is probably one of the more heavy leaning into combos, I’ve done many %50-60 combos off stunt double, it’s probably his most creative free move set
Only just dawned on me, most of the endings, except the ones where an alternate winner against Shinnok is explicitly shown, are canon. Well, ideally would've been canon before MK11 brushed over most of them haha. Some carry connected narratives similar to MK1's endings. Pretty cool aspect. Really makes one think about how MK11 would've gone if it was a more direct sequel to MKX.
Tons of interesting concepts such as Raiden now invading the other realms with Scorpion as his champion. Quan Chi technically becoming the champion of the elder gods like Scorpion did in the original timeline. The resurrection of Shang Tsung. Reptile, Kenshi and Takeda having gone on their own separate quests hence why they're likely not present in MK11, Kung Lao having been cured from the revenant status, etc.
I think the only ending I don't like is Predator's as it's waayyyy out of character for a Yautja to become a Konquerer that decimates worlds and doesn't take trophies, unless its implying he got corrupted like Raiden because of Shinnok's amulet, or that he became a bad blood hunter.
About MK1's gameplay, it's weird cos you can tell they maybe wanted variations again or a semblence of them not only because of the kameo mixups but also some characters do have a style change in the middle of the match, especially Kenshi and maybe Noob (Embrace Khaos is more of an enhancer that leaves you Saibot-less after it's used up so you end up playing without the shadow double), and in other cases like Takeda where his moveset is clearly a hybrid of all his MKX Variations. I definitely agree though, it'd be neat if real-time move styles/variations like in the 3D era came back.
I do wanna correct the Krypt section, MK1's shrine doesn't require you to spend IRL money, although it is pretty lacking in content, by the time you gain a LOT of coins from Invasions mode you basically unlock most if not all of the skins, gear, concept, profile banners and art, and as of recent Brutalities.
I understand the complaint about the microtransactions but they've really learned from the criticisms and backlash the fandom threw to the point they were practically giving out free skins on the lead up to khaos reigns + the update for it giving out tons of free content too (even to those who did not buy the DLC), as well as making Invasions a more fun experience (well, subjective.) in comparison to it's early days.
Amazing video dude, I love your content and glad to see another MK vid, your very direct, funny and aggressive style is charming and appealing.
I wonder what the title of your MK1 video will be haha (MK1 is better than MK1 ok just kidding lol.)
PS: Funfact, due to mods allowing you to play as the NPC exclusive characters (Rain, Story Tanya, Sindel, etc.), it was found that Baraka is compatible with some of Alien's moves, so yeah he definitely lives on with the Xeno.
For Mileena Racenous pounce sequence moves you have to do them pretty fast and you also have to do them backwards because you switch sides with the opponent
The perfect MK game would be MK9 Roster with MKX style gameplay and MK11 Graphics with the darker vibe of the older games and richer content and full customization.
I think, simply adding mkx netcode to MK9 would already make it near damn perfect
This would be peak Mk but sadly NRS would never
00:30 interesting. I grew up with the 3d era games. Specifically deception, Armageddon and shaolin monks. Might be nostalgia but those are still my favourite. Cant beat the ost of the older games. And as far as 00:52 is concerned, I didn't start playing those for the story, but damn the story and lore was awesome.
I had my gripes with MKX at the time, but I've found myself playing it recently after all these years due to MK1 holding my attention for all of one week.
Better gameplay and mechanic wise, but the game looks ugly asf
I think graphics are good, color palette is drab
Mk9 artstyle looks better tbh
I love the dark gritty style. Gives it a proper grimy horror feeling that MK should have. Mk 11 felt too bright and cartoony for me.
Graphics aren't bad for a 2015 game and While I like the gritty and darker vibe they were going for I agree that it has a muted color palette than MK9, MK9 has a better aesthetic. The game needs a remaster to give a fresh touch-up on not just the overall visuals but the models and other various fixes imo.
@@B_dizzy-l5vI don’t think MK should have a horror feeling to it, MK has always been colorful in terms of aesthetics
I wish 3D mk would make a comeback. Those games were the MOST FUN. Regardless if they were the most competitive or not
Kotal's design was better in X than MK 11 in my opinion
I remember playing mkx all the time with my brother when i was 10 and first bought it. I lost my shit to the xenomorph being revealed and played it for so long, can’t say the same for mk1 tho. Bought it with a friend to play together and after a good 2 hour we got bored and just went back to playing mkx and had so much more fun
MK XL is the ultimate modern MK experience in my book. Awesome engine, visuals, audio. 10/10 everything.
MK11 had that pointless 2-bar change, overdone the fatalities (even for MK standards), but was enjoyable.
MK 1 is just a mess. I dislike most everything about it.
Why is no one talking about that funny ass intro? Bro got so mad😂
After some scary and difficult moments I had with MK1 booted up MKX on the PS5 bruh goated 🐐
In order to use Sonya Blade’s grenades, you have to restock during the fight. You basically have 3 charges (indicated by the bombs on her thigh)
Torr is actually the big guy. Ferra is his tiny rider. interesting that she becomes much like Torr.
What upset me is I wish a NRS or a leak comes and says hey if you support khaos reigns sales theres a chance for KP3 /story expansion but hey it is what it is
The Dualist spheres have to be paused mid-flight with the same input and they detonate after some time. It's a setup variation just like Master of Storms.
Okay that makes sense
Dude is your first name Steele? Cause if that is so, that would be awesome since I have the same first name.
It’s my middle name lol but it’s an awesome first name and that’s why I go by it on TH-cam
@steele1 Dude that's really cool!
41:25 I would've laughed so hard if I heard you mentioned that Kitana has hands-down the STUPIDEST looking crouching kick NRS has ever made XD ....Also I came here for the Daddy Baraka jokes (Though I'm more of a Reptile simp because I like scalies too much)
Finally a worthful opinion that came from my opinion too! ❤
Mkx is my absolute favorite game. Combine everything from this game with mk9 story and that would be a perfect game
Mk x was so much fun and the netcode for online matches actually worked (at least in my experience) my only gripe with the game is the art style, a lot of the character looks straight up ugly and a lot of the alt skins that were actually worth wearing were locked behind pay walls.
MKX is much better then MK1, or 11
I totally agree with you mk1 is plainly lower visually detailed than mk11
MKX is the vest of all MKs. Guess what after playing MK4, the only MK i played again is MKX. I played it yesterday, today and gonna played for a long time. Btw It revolutionize Fatalities, costumes, fight everything.
0:52. You were 11 when the game came out so the story in the "Netherrealm" era was objectively looked at as just plain bad. Back in the day the story for all the 3D games were fairly decent and didn't leave too many unresolved cliffhangers out to dry and wither; can't speak for the Arcade era tho. Wasn't around that early lol
MK9 will always be my favorite but MKX is up there too. I don’t hate MK1 as much as everyone else tho
Ooohhh there it is. Less than a minute in. You can try to spin it all you want but there it is..... nostalgia
Hello Steele, i click on you video because i on 90% agree with you statement at beginning. MKX is like smaller but "better" brother of MK9. For example i think story mode is slightly better in MKX, because i was really dissapointed from "tournament storyline" - it was too short and could have actually fill full story mode (that why 1st story of MK9 is great and do that i would like to see in MK9.
Also i kinda hate game mechanisms of MK1 - Rounds seems to be shorter and more blank, cameo system is annoying because you canť turn off so its no 1v1 (MK11 do it better by temporal bonuses which you can CHOOSE to use, not being FORCED as core mechanic) and also absence of variations makes a characters fights poorer and meh - in MK11 you can even "make your own".
Also MKX has better roster including DLC characters. Is kinda weird that Kenshi, Raiden and Lui Kang are reason why i have 10% of liking MK1 - due to New Era version are nicely done (Raiden as humble polite boy who gets "god powers", Kenshi tragically lost his eyes and his relationship with Johnny is good, Lui Kang is sympathetic as usual and now even non-hefty god). Why is it weird? Because overall most of game SUB-ZERO is my most favourite character, MK1 Sub-Zero is "decent-ish" but MKX and MK11 do him more fun to play and watch in both story modes and multiplayers.
Also some choices as make Cyrax and Sektor womans is kinda weird and not talking about Janet Cage. Sorry but other canon womans are better than this - except DVorah - i hate her most of all exist characters.
BTW: My most favourite MKX character variation is: Lui Kang (Dualist) and Takeda (Lasher)
So i agree with you, MKX is better than MK1 but i think MK9 and MKX are slightly equal PEAK. Good video and i like that explaining into details. Also will you do MK11 is better than MK1? Have a great day
Aggree
I like MK 11 and people tell me it's the worst, mind you I've been playing MK since the original MK 1(92). I'm the same age as the franchise, so when I say the new MK 1 is bad I mean it's just boring and has nothing to do for single players
There was a massive large snow storm back in the day, so everyone was inside. So what do you do during a snow storm? Play Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. MKDA was the most played MK game. Even people who dont follow the series of MK played that game. Not because of how cool the game is, but because everyone was stuck inside.
He’s not wrong MK1 sucks!! But my favorite was MK11. kombat wise it’s the most balanced
