I honestly expected his friendship to be him ALMOST killing you. Like, he beats you to a broken mess, but then stops right before the killing blow, turns, and looks at the camera and as the opponent slowly crawls away; "What? I didn't KILL him, did I? FRIENDSHIP~!" Definitely don't hate the way the actual friendship went, though.
Skarlet’s is funnier if you know her VA is actually a very good, skilled painter irl who specializes in the human figure Only for skarlet to draw a hilariously crappy stick figure out of blood
It was still pretty dumb. Even counting the reference, it makes Skarlet look like a tryhard. Maybe it would have worked better if she'd made some kind of unintentional masterpiece (or was painting over one), and ruined one of her own paintings with blood.
Not only is Kano grilling blood sausages, he’s also grilling shrimp. In other words, he’s got that shrimp on the barbie, as the stereotypical Australian line goes.
No shit? I found it a kinda weak Friendship, but I love Skarlet and I'm an artist as well so I use it a lot because its fun. I had no idea the VA is an artist too? That's cute and cool
@@freecomkcf I totally remembered that one! I thought Mileena trying to convince Scorpion to touch her teddy bear was cute and hilarious! Guess Scorpion couldn't hold those urges anymore! Hahaha!
Kung Lao's became 10 times funnier when someone in a tweet said it represented the mental age of Kung Lao player (Man i didn't even noticed how many people liked jeez guys thanks)
Syndel’s could’ve been way better if they had her legitimately singing opera (and being surprisingly great at it), she gets to a high note in the song, does her banshee scream, breaks the camera len in the process, and finally takes a bow as an offscreen audience cheers and throws roses at Syndel, having her catch a bouquet of roses and wave at the crowd.
could've had her scream... in excitement as a hair dryer chair is there and she gets her hair done as the friendship. still simple and brings in both her known traits.
Given that filters on photo apps are RARELY the same - especially in a time where snapchat was in its prime - that's kinda perfect. Not 10/10, but easily bumps it to a 6 or 7 in my mind. Wow, okay props for being a neat touch that makes a ton of sense.
I mean, I'd expect more too, but you also have to realize that she only had one color to work with. That can only take you so far, and she only had a few fleeting seconds to finish on top of that.
By the way, Scorpion’s Friendship is actually a reference to MK (2011)’s Challenge Mode where one of them had Scorpion fight Mileena after rejecting her gift Teddy Bear because Scorpion “hates teddy bears.” Guess he learned to lighten up with Mileena’s subsequent offer, eh?
Was expecting him to just give like a huge stack of autographed pictures and just throw one of them at the camera. I still like WB Frog reference though.
Right, if goro wasn't canonically dead, they could've had Johnny drop his sunglasses, goro step on them, johnny either cry or give the "$500 sunglasses asshole" line and goro give him a new pair
The fact that he just pulls out a popsicle stick implies that his freezer isn’t actually filled with any ice cream or popsicles, but actually just hundreds of sticks.
In hyper-violent dark games everyone wants the main characters to be happy and have fun times. In super happy games, everyone wants the main characters to be sad and in dark situations.
I think it was a nod to Evil Dead 2 because Ash's girlfriend was possessed and decapitated, later came back and did the whole ballet dancing that she did, head spin and all.
Someone else has probably already commented it or you know it: In MK9's challenge tower, one of the challenges "I hate teddies" makes you play as scorpion fighting Mileena, who is trying to give him a teddy bear she made for him. Mabye I'm reading too in depth but I'm gonna say it's a reference
Dont forget that we also have the Tower Konsumable of Meleena's Teddie, just to remind players lol Although this one walks across the fight line and explodes low
As someone who's standing on the outside of the fandom looking in... I'm pretty sure Mary Poppins isn't even nearly the first children's TV reference in MK.
Fujin had me like: "A kite? Predictable and lame. Oh lol he's prancing he's so happy around this is actually pretty funny. NOW HE'S BEING DRAGGED BY THE WIND THIS IS HILARIOUS!"
I think scorpions was my favorite... Dude lost his clan, wife, and son, and was enslaved as a revenant by Quan chi AND shinnok... Bet you anything the guy just really needs a hug... Oh look a teddy bear, odd coincidence :3
That's why it's so good even though it's simple. Scorpion is that one character who you'd expect to be filled with anger, anguish, etc. so seeing him smile while hugging something innocent like a teddy bear is unusual yet satisfying.
Most of these make sense: Joker's was *almost* a Fatality. Spawn's is risque, true to form with him being from Image Comics. Sub-Zero makes Blueberry ice cream. And Sindel's somehow makes her look more like a bitch than NetherRealm already made her.
Seeing *NOOB* the fucking darkness itself, too angry to die, resurrected out of rage, playing friendly with his own clones is very very satisfying. Much love, Bi-Han
Baraka's could have been ok if the cake was cut up into slices and those slices landed perfectly on plates or something. i just like to remind people that these characters with nightmarish powers of destruction could in fact use them in this way if they so chose to
I love the Jokers. "Hey! C'mon, Bats!" Also I feel like Baraka's would be great if he did like Scorpion, popped his claws and got all fierce, and then gently cuts a piece of cake.
It's a throwback to mk2 friendship because he used to give you a present but in this case he gives you a cake and dices it lol. It was bad but mostly people who played 2 would get the reference lol.
@@KenjitsuHokori How does him handing you a present in MK2 have ANYTHING to do with him throwing a cake up in the air and slicing it into a bunch of nothing? They should've done an homage to the first TMNT movie where he throws a pizza into the air and cuts it into slices that land onto plates, and the last slice lands on his head. HIRE ME NR STUDIOS!
It could've been a mini montage of Baraka having a birthday party, he's blowing a whistle, playing pin the tail on Mintaro, and finally cutting his cake before devouring the entire thing like a rabid dog.
I'm happy I wasn't the only one terrified of Frost's friendship. It was pretty okay up until her head stayed in place... just... just looking right at you while her body pirouettes...
I like how Sub-Zero seems to be so excited about his ice cream cart that he actually leaves brief icy footprints in his wake as he runs offscreen. Also, I think Skarlet's Friendship is meant to be a reference to her voice actress being a painter.
It could also be a nod to that scene from the old ninja turtles movie where leo slices the pizza with his swords while mikey says " yes friends it's the new turbo ginsu. It slices, it dices and it makes French fries in 3 different ( pizza slice lands on splinters head ) whoops. "
MK11 is seriously the best my boy Jax has ever been, he has the best fatalities and friendships. Also did Max miss the "Shrimp on the barbie" reference? Cause 'Stralia.
Scorpion's friendship is a call back to Mortal Kombat 9. In the challenge tower, one of challenges is to defeat Mileena because she made Scorpion a teddy bear, but Scorpion stated that he hates teddies. Looks like Mileena changed his mind lol. It was hilarious because in MK9 the mission objective was "Defend your right to hate teddies" lmao
Yeah I think they definitely cut some corners there. They didn't even have them doing some big, goofy looking clapping animation after the performances or anything.
@AT Productions What are you talking about? Take a look at MK2 Friendships. They're the same. Have nothing to do with the opponent. So don't even go there.
Baraka’s friendship makes a bit more sense when you realize that was the friendship-turned-fatality cake Joker gave him in his trailer. But yeah, maybe have him eat it, as opposed to making a giant mess?
It'd be funnier if he had like 20 perfectly-cut slices of cake that land on plates strewn about after he threw the cake up, with the last piece landing on the plate in his hand as he offers it to his opponent/ the audience.
Suggestion from: Tyler Peckham and not really gelo; So what she should’ve done was that she would style her hair into a bunch of funny styles, and when she found the one she liked, she screamed of happiness, and the scream would accidentally mess up her style
I think it is actually quite good. The idea is that that some people - especially good singers - can break a glass with their voice. Naturally, you think Sindel would do that, especially as she hurts people by screaming - except she cracks the camera rather than the glass and just downs the wine.
My favorite friendships are absolutely the ones where the character uses their explicit superpowers constructively instead of murderously. Also, I feel like the one for Sindel would work better if it was an actual opera wail rather than her usual banshee shriek. Could also stand to be held for a bit longer.
Fun Fact: Liu Kang’s friendship could be yet another linking him to the late Bruce Lee. He was actually a dancer alongside being a martial artist, he went to school for it and everything. So, really, with that context, it’s pretty brilliant.
THATS because he started training me, and he couldn’t kill me, I couldn’t kill him, so I didn’t have a choice, he said “yo noob, tell you what, if you do that, I’ll give you a sample of my blood.” And I said fine He still owes me that blood sample DEADPOOOOOOL!!!!!!
Kitana: Wow! Liu Kang, where did you learn to dance like that?~" Liu Kang: Oh well....a guy with white hair, wears a red coat and slays demons for a living taught me how to dance. And in return I gave him the legal right to make high pitched screams whenever he uses num-chuks."
I disagreed with Max HARD on a lot of these. Nightwolf's was a 9/10 at least. And Spawn's fucking sucked. He reads a book in a hammock: 8/10? Wut?? Kung Lao's was also terrific.
Baraka's should've been him tossing a basket of groceries in the air then slicing and dicing them as it fell. The camera pans out to a huge ass cauldron on a campfire and he's making soup.
They just needed to include the victim more I feel, like, Kahn giving the person a stuffed animal he wins for beating the hammer game, or Cassie taking selfies with the person, you know?
@@landonfinger6696 yeah, I think it's Ash's girlfriend. Ballerina dancing naked after he had cut her head off and threw her into the woods. I may have some of the details messed up, been almost a year since I last watched.
I love how Joker's fatality was almost a friendship, and his friendship was almost a fatality.
Batman came in and stopped him lol!
Joker: Finally, nobody gonna stop me from killing people now!
Batman: *I'm gonna stop you there, Joker.*
That’s literally from another video I watched this morning. Amazing
And its with Barakas the worst FRIENDSHIP ingame
joker:its fatality time
batman:hol up
joker: ಠ_ಠ
The perfect Syndel friendship would have been if her scream was absolutely silent and a horde of puppies came running in.
A dog whistle, you see.
No stfu
oh my god yes, that would be a perfect subversion!
Not bad concept for a friendship. Another idea is Sindel doing some kinda of Opera Singing.
@@inactivehorse9753 Or she could try to destroy the glass, see that it doesn't work, then break it manually and pretend her voice did it
@@songbird7450 that's exactly what her currently friendship is... Which SUCKS!!!
It's so hilariously in character that even in a friendship, Joker can't help but try to murder you
I honestly expected his friendship to be him ALMOST killing you. Like, he beats you to a broken mess, but then stops right before the killing blow, turns, and looks at the camera and as the opponent slowly crawls away; "What? I didn't KILL him, did I? FRIENDSHIP~!" Definitely don't hate the way the actual friendship went, though.
It's a nice nod to the fact that Joker listens somewhat to Batman. Just "Ughh fine but only because YOU are the one asking"
@@rosenrot234 You absolutely can tell that everytime he looks off screen to where Batman is, Batman is giving him the Bat Glare from the cartoons.
Also Joker:
Fatality: Friendship into Fatality
Friendship: Fatality into Friendship
It's interesting that Joker's finishers are unpredictable.
@@justinalicea1590 just like don't you dare I'm always watching
In an interview with Ed Boon, he stated that Noob Saibot’s friendship was mo-kapped, making it all the more impressive.
Oh yeah remember mo cap?
Glad to know Cage’s old stunt double is still getting work :)
But did he actually jump rope while mo capped or did they just do the movements?
@@bullworthless if they are anything like Capcom there must have been a rope.

Kitana and Mileena hugging was surprisingly super heartwarming.
What could have been if Shao Kahn wasn't just the worst father since Thanos...
What if that's the world Liu creates for MK12?
Wa
I almost shed a tear for those two.
Let’s hope Kitana and Mileena are happy together in the new era.
Bro! I did the mocap for Nightwolf, Geras, Noob and Jax’s friendships and I’m very glad you loved most of them. You da man, Max!
That is so awesome! Those are my favourite ones.NightWolf’s friendship doesn’t deserve that disrespect though.
How the hell did you pull off Noob's moves?!
Thanks so much for your hard work.
Makes me wonder if you’re heavy guy like Geras and Jax, or lighter like Noob and Nightwolf
Thank you for giving us epic Jax guy
Skarlet’s is funnier if you know her VA is actually a very good, skilled painter irl who specializes in the human figure
Only for skarlet to draw a hilariously crappy stick figure out of blood

It's reminds me of not another teen movie when she's making a huge mess in art class and it was stick figures 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If only they put her art on the canvas. The stick figure was silly tho (i got the joke).

16:50 Summary
Baraka's could have been ok if the cake was cut up into slices and those slices landed perfectly on plates or something. i just like to remind people that these characters with nightmarish powers of destruction could in fact use them in this way if they so chose to
Yeah, maybe him sharing it with his fellow tarkatians
My take was someone told him to cut the cake and he didn't get it. After all it's a non meat based food, not really a Tarkatian's area...
Or a pizza, 4 quick slashes to cut that baby up.
baraka couldve cut the cake into perfect slices then the tarkatan children come in for slices. that wouldve been an instant 9 putts 10
@@rararasputin8608 Maybe since WB owns ninja turtles it couldve been reminiscent of a similar scene in the turtles movie
7:10 "AM I DOING OKAY ELDER GODS?"
Raiden replies with "idk are ya winnin son?"
Idk, you must consult the elder gods...Wait
10/10
*Clouds come in saying "Hell yes!"*
I love the Jokers.
"Hey! C'mon, Bats!"
Also I feel like Baraka's would be great if he did like Scorpion, popped his claws and got all fierce, and then gently cuts a piece of cake.
Imagine if he served it to the opponent
or if he was a sushi chef dicing up a fish, that would be perfect too
It's a throwback to mk2 friendship because he used to give you a present but in this case he gives you a cake and dices it lol. It was bad but mostly people who played 2 would get the reference lol.
@@KenjitsuHokori How does him handing you a present in MK2 have ANYTHING to do with him throwing a cake up in the air and slicing it into a bunch of nothing? They should've done an homage to the first TMNT movie where he throws a pizza into the air and cuts it into slices that land onto plates, and the last slice lands on his head. HIRE ME NR STUDIOS!
It could've been a mini montage of Baraka having a birthday party, he's blowing a whistle, playing pin the tail on Mintaro, and finally cutting his cake before devouring the entire thing like a rabid dog.
Honestly it's such a missed opportunity not having Sindel sing opera.
Yes.
It’s like the Mortal Kombat Talent Show, ...I love it.
Yeah xD
Sir Maximilian Dood was a Judge
LMAOOOOOO !
I like how Joker was going to kill anyway, and Batman had to stop him.
“Jesus Christ this is not a friendship”
Jeff 456 Words said during a huge tiff
What character are you complaining about
@@TheLoneHero210 Frost. Who's Friendship is _legitimately terrifying_.
Jeff 456 Jesus frost.
I'm happy I wasn't the only one terrified of Frost's friendship. It was pretty okay up until her head stayed in place... just... just looking right at you while her body pirouettes...
Cassie's would be a 10 if she was taking selfies with her opponent, and then they both laugh and smile as friends at the end.
What a waste.
Well that's the problem with these friendships as a whole. The opponent isn't a part of it. They just stop existing. We sure these aren't fatalities?
Such wasted potential
Would’ve been a hilarious subversion of her best fatality from MKX as well, where she’s taking selfies with her dying opponent
10:50 OCP gave me the skills to wreck this 🎶

Joker's fatality: Nearly friendship
Joker's friendship: Nearly fatality
trueeeeeeee
Batman: Perfectly balanced, as it should be..
Matt Olstein After all, it is *Opposite Day*
*Dun dun dun*
🤔🤣😂
It's so very Joker that even when his player orders a Friendship he tries for a Fatality...
I like how Sub-Zero seems to be so excited about his ice cream cart that he actually leaves brief icy footprints in his wake as he runs offscreen.
Also, I think Skarlet's Friendship is meant to be a reference to her voice actress being a painter.
Kidd Thunder was my absolute favorite lol! The fact it's a reference to Raiden's friendship from mk2 is priceless!!!
It's also a reference to the dance group Light Balance
Remember that time when Scorpion hated teddy bears in MK9...look at him now
Character development
We all knew that was just an act to appear tough, deep inside he probably misses Mileena too
He didnt hate teddy bears, it was just mileena not giving him a bigger teddy bear.
I think Baraka's friendship is a reference to where in the joker reveal trailer, joker gives baraka a cake and proceeds the shoot the hell out of him.
Ooooh yeah, maybe
It could also be a nod to that scene from the old ninja turtles movie where leo slices the pizza with his swords while mikey says " yes friends it's the new turbo ginsu. It slices, it dices and it makes French fries in 3 different ( pizza slice lands on splinters head ) whoops. "
Also a throwback to MK2. His friendship was literally pulling out a cake. I'm wrong. It was a gift wrapped box.
THATS THE DUMBEST REFERENCE IVE EVER HEARD.
@@AdamLacy228 wasn't it a box ? anyway i would prefer if he ate the cake, this one is not wholesome, he could have grabbed that last slice
10:47 when you finally eliminate all crime in Detroit
My duty is done, now time TO PARTY THE SHIT OF THE DANCE FLOOR
Someone stole my crime, I can have shit in Detroit
That's how the OG Robocop series should've ended.
They stole my air. Can’t breathe in Detroit
Call of duty is finished
Now it is time to start...
Call of BUTY!
"This makes me happier than the Fatality does."
Surprise wholesome reaction.
Terminator had a titanic reference with his hands back
Two James Cameron movie references. Nice.
MK11 is seriously the best my boy Jax has ever been, he has the best fatalities and friendships.
Also did Max miss the "Shrimp on the barbie" reference? Cause 'Stralia.
Straya
I think he missed the mx9 scorpion teddy too
Epic Jax Guy
He didn't. He edited this from a live Twitch stream. He noticed all the references, he just didn't include the acknowledgement in this edit.
He settled for Kano’s sausage
Subzero during friendship: Finally, my time has come
When you have always wanted to make ice cream but you were kidnapped to be trained as an assassin instead.
I love his one, he just looks like is having so much fun and for someone like subby, it makes me want to happy cry lol.
@@acetrainerjax3312 He's happy he's not being forced to kill anymore. T_T
Scorpion's friendship is a call back to Mortal Kombat 9. In the challenge tower, one of challenges is to defeat Mileena because she made Scorpion a teddy bear, but Scorpion stated that he hates teddies. Looks like Mileena changed his mind lol. It was hilarious because in MK9 the mission objective was "Defend your right to hate teddies" lmao
*ROBOCOP: To protect and SERVE*
Rando police: You got *SERVED*
I could see that happening in a family friendly sequel of robocop
@@Jordan64852 you mean like the cartoon?
The friendships would be so much funnier if they included the opponents they're supposedly have the friendship with.
ya i thought so too
Yeah I think they definitely cut some corners there. They didn't even have them doing some big, goofy looking clapping animation after the performances or anything.
@@joedatius And Cassie's.
Friendships never had to do with the opponent.
@AT Productions
What are you talking about? Take a look at MK2 Friendships. They're the same. Have nothing to do with the opponent. So don't even go there.
10:57 I AM HERE TO PROTECT AND SERVE...
.
...*and you just got served*.
Damn nice one
"Mellina is back...she made it into the game" *at the day of this comment she was announced* i mean yeah
Yep
Baraka’s friendship makes a bit more sense when you realize that was the friendship-turned-fatality cake Joker gave him in his trailer.
But yeah, maybe have him eat it, as opposed to making a giant mess?
Making a mess is what Baraka does best
It'd be funnier if he had like 20 perfectly-cut slices of cake that land on plates strewn about after he threw the cake up, with the last piece landing on the plate in his hand as he offers it to his opponent/ the audience.
@@SledgeHammerGai that's what I was expecting
2:15 The Joker is my favorite Friendship😂
@@SledgeHammerGai I like that and he could also have Tarkatans or other Kombatants lined up to each get a slice of cake.
9:31 Kitana's friendship is the best because it shows an actual friendship.
wrong
Yep. I wish they would do more stuff with their opponents rather than by themselves
No KIDD THUNDER!
More like “sibling ship”
jax is the best because nothing beats saxophone mk theme
Sindel’s should’ve been her styling her hair in crazy ways in front of a mirror or something
Yeah pull a Marie Antoinette and turn her hair into a ducking boat
Suggestion from: Tyler Peckham and not really gelo;
So what she should’ve done was that she would style her hair into a bunch of funny styles, and when she found the one she liked, she screamed of happiness, and the scream would accidentally mess up her style
No it would have been the perfect chance for her to sing opera
@@noob_saibotxx5886 or break the mirror
Tiagorpg mendes like I said , the idea was from Tyler
Now with Milieena as a playable character, fighting her as Katana and doing the friendship would be perfect.
Just some light sparing between sisters.
@@Amirifiz just ignore the blood and broken bones
I call Sindels "the Karen" she yells then just drinks wine, and ultimately accomplishes nothing.
Sindel confirmed wine mom.
@@pestopartyy NetherRealm did it. They butchered her worse than they already did.
Just because Sindel didn't care the shit about friendship, she only wants to be Queen.
I call it 'What is a man?'
I think it is actually quite good. The idea is that that some people - especially good singers - can break a glass with their voice. Naturally, you think Sindel would do that, especially as she hurts people by screaming - except she cracks the camera rather than the glass and just downs the wine.
My favorite friendships are absolutely the ones where the character uses their explicit superpowers constructively instead of murderously.
Also, I feel like the one for Sindel would work better if it was an actual opera wail rather than her usual banshee shriek. Could also stand to be held for a bit longer.
Yo that would actually be really cool
If I was Kid Thunder I'd be PISSED at Raiden for giving his powers to Liu Kang instead of him... "Bruh, we been homies since MK II !!!!"
Yaybabbayay and all that🤣🤣🤣
Remember DashieXP's MK vids lmao
His name literally is kid thunder? Doesn't he have those powers already?
Fun Fact: Liu Kang’s friendship could be yet another linking him to the late Bruce Lee. He was actually a dancer alongside being a martial artist, he went to school for it and everything. So, really, with that context, it’s pretty brilliant.
15:38 Max explains why 'subverting expectations' just for the sake of being subversive is criminal hackery.
@Rian Johnson
I wish more writers took that to heart.
he's not wrong tho
Kinda like when SFxTekken threw in Box Art Megaman. Expectations subverted, but worse than what was anticipated.
Thelastjedi write that down
WRITE

DOWN
Noob's Friendship makes me think, "That's something Deadpool would do."
Yeah, Deadpool dared me to do it.
>:(
@@noob_saibotxx5886 You got some sick skills though.
THATS because he started training me, and he couldn’t kill me, I couldn’t kill him, so I didn’t have a choice, he said “yo noob, tell you what, if you do that, I’ll give you a sample of my blood.”
And I said fine
He still owes me that blood sample
DEADPOOOOOOL!!!!!!
That part when he points at his homies....pure gold
When the most family friendly rate the ____ is from mortal kombat.
Kronika is defiantly upset at the balance there.
Also 100 like 👌
Lol wtf
Kitana: Wow! Liu Kang, where did you learn to dance like that?~"
Liu Kang: Oh well....a guy with white hair, wears a red coat and slays demons for a living taught me how to dance.
And in return I gave him the legal right to make high pitched screams whenever he uses num-chuks."
Jade: what did you see in him?
Kitana: Look.
Liu kang: 9:07
I'm senseing some devil may cry
BLESS ME WITH YOUR GIFT OF DISCO
Nightwolf’s is underrated. The bear balancing on a ball made me laugh so hard
Yea, I love his
I disagreed with Max HARD on a lot of these. Nightwolf's was a 9/10 at least. And Spawn's fucking sucked. He reads a book in a hammock: 8/10? Wut?? Kung Lao's was also terrific.
Best in the game.
All over all the tribes love Nightwolf and I would agree the with Native peeps with liking Nightwolf.

Terminator: “I WANT AN ICE CREAM!”
Sub: “Ask and you shall receive” (Proceeds to happily run to get the ice cream cart)
"FINALLY! A costumer!"
@@53Spawn Don't you mean Kostumer........ I hate myself :'D
Cassie's friendship would've been a 10/10 if she took the selfies with her opponent.
And they posed with her
Well last time she took a selfie with the opponent, their jaw was hanging off.
Inserting Baraka with cat ears and Scorpion with anime shoujo eyes, HELL YES
I think a lot of the friendships miss the mark of actually displaying an act of friendship in what they are
rebeckymo Shao Kahn with a smiley emoji
Am I the only one who likes Nightwolf's friendship because its adorable, especially with the wolf and the bear?
Max just hates me
Was looking for this comment, albeit being 3 years old at this point. But the bear makes me laugh every time, I think it's an 8/10.
Baraka's should've been him tossing a basket of groceries in the air then slicing and dicing them as it fell. The camera pans out to a huge ass cauldron on a campfire and he's making soup.
Damn that would've been awesome lol
This is such a good idea that it frustrates me that they didn't go with it.
Or at least slice the cake in edible pieces. He just destroys it. Lol
Could have been Cooking with Baraka, like the Deadly Alliance Krypt movie Cooking With Scorpion.
They just needed to include the victim more I feel, like, Kahn giving the person a stuffed animal he wins for beating the hammer game, or Cassie taking selfies with the person, you know?
Ironically, Cassie has a Fatality in which she takes a selfie with her opponent's corpse xD
Indeed, there is no "friendship" involved
Well, it's cheaper like this.
And that's not saying they don't have the money to make models for each friendship, just saying it's easier.
The old school friendships also rarely if ever included the victim.
6:44
I'm more pissed that he *Ruined* a Perfectly good *Cake*
what would have been better is to have him walk towards the opponent looking mad as fuck and then he just cuts him a piece of cake
Same xD
Sindel was not involved in any way
He tried is best :(
I wish he'd destroyed it accidentally, or ruined it by virtue of just not understanding the idea of cake.
Another thing that makes Jax's Friendship so good is even when he's done playing, it's still playing the music over the victory screen
I remember when on one of the MK9 missions, Scorpion says he hate teddy bears XD
See? Now that's subversion of expectations ;)
He's been lying all this time XD
Even in MK11 you still can get mileena teddy bear as a konsumable
He played us like a *GODDAMN FIDDLE*
He's a Liar!!
Lmao
I feel like Sonya's would've been better if the little robot dog dragged the opponent instead of just some random Tarkhatan
In a way I think that would’ve been better, but my guess is they wanted to do some sort of asset flip
Or have a tarkattan scream after a snapping sound and have the robot bring back its arm blade. Not the WHOLE tarkattan.
I think the fact that all the friendships are restricted to not including the opponent creates so many missed opportunities.
Yeah,have the little bot pull the opponents on a makeshift leash who have rollerblades on and they're having a hard time keeping their balance.
I’m pretty sure dragging someone isn’t friendly, that’s why they didn’t use the opponent
Kitanas is the best. It's the one that genuinely warms your heart knowing the history between those two.
i wish sindel's friendship was her finally landing a backflip
So basically her Hara-Kiri in Deception except made into a Friendship?
@@PokéJolt50 and her making the landing instead of splatting face first onto the ground
After dealing with that story mode, I hope she attempts that backflip and fails again.
Therapist: "Don't worry, Frost's Friendship won't hurt you"

Nah man this is just some wholesome content.
15:37 Maximilian's the last jedi review
Frost’s friendship is literally just a different fatality
It crushes you psychologically instead of physically
I think it’s a reference to the Evil Dead movies since people heard Ash was going to be in the game
A Hara Kiri, mind you.
*Remember those from MK Deception? Yeah, I kinda miss those.*
@@landonfinger6696 yeah, I think it's Ash's girlfriend. Ballerina dancing naked after he had cut her head off and threw her into the woods. I may have some of the details messed up, been almost a year since I last watched.
