I actually kind of like Hsu hoa 🤣 I think he looks cool and the fact he was a chinese spy is a bit interesting I just wish mk brought back more characters tbh
Sone of the hate of su hao is because ed boon didn't like him and some people said that hey the creator of mortal kombat doesn't like him hao lets hate him
These both can be easily revamped and have some love. Imagine: Mavado, an cold blooded leader, equipped with compound swords, and Hsu Hao, his head hunter with pulsing energy heart that gives him ability to empower himself, almost like DC's Bane.
Back in my silly teenage years I thought Mavado looked cool and so I really liked his inclusion and idea of introducing another evil org & counterpart to the Black Dragons. Nowadays my fondness for him has lessened but he is a character with interesting ideas. Certainly more than Daegon at least. Hsu Hao...eh I’m more neutral with him, but the endless hatred heaped upon him amuses me to no end.
Hsu Hoa did so much for the series and people hate him. Half of the events that took place in the old timeline wouldn't have ever happened if not for Hsu Hao. I personally thing if he had some polishing and a new character direction, he'd be a fan favorite for sure
I'm 99% sure Mavado was going to be in MK X, but they got nervous about fan response, and repurposed him as Takeda. If you were going to mod Mavado into X, all you'd have to do is swap the Scorpion variation for a Hooksword variation. It makes perfect sense as the spiritual successor to his whip weapons, AND he's in the Komic.
Also, if Hsu Hao was going to be in the game, based on his DA playstyle, I'd say he'd have a laser variation, command grab variation, and a knives variation. But why do that when we could just have Kano again? Hsu Hao and Mavado were integral to the SF story as well as the literal Armageddon story. Without Mavado, you can't really reveal Daegon, hence, no Taven, Daegon or even a hint at the Armageddon story potential repeating, this time explaining that KRONIKA is the reason Shao went from Onaga food to last man standing. The komic also set it up in a cool way that would've blended the stories of Deception and Armageddon. But why add that actually cool stuff to the game? MK X desperately needed an Aftermath-style prequel DLC covering this, and especially the story of Havik, Reiko and the Reiko Accords... ya know, the best part of the entire story of MK X
It would've been cool getting a game adaptation of the MKX comic, especially considering we would've had had Havik as the big bad instead of the same old characters we'd already seen before.
@@GamerThumbTV Well, it looks like they're meeting us halfway, having Havik be the DLC big bad for MK1, but still, imo the comic arc was the best part of the MK X story, and it's a shame that we never saw it realized in-game. Plus the DLC pack would've been sick for MKX. Reiko, Rain, Havik and Mileena could've been your story chapters. My Reiko variations would've been: A mini-Shao variant (sorely missing in MKX), an MK4/Noob variant (sorely missing from MKX), and a "True Blood God" variant.
Basically they retconned it so Shao Khan win. You can always look at Taven winning as another alternate timeline, or just non canon. But yea, the original plan was Taven wins
22:13 Hsu hao and mavado are my top 2 then Kenshi and li mei, frost rounding out my top 5 in characters since DA was my first MK game when I was 8 yrs old. Been a MK fan ever since. Even though my fav characters been getting the shit stick imo.
WTF?! I was sure TH-cam took this channel down after it was hacked. It didn't promote a single video for over a year! Good to see you back even though you didn't go anywhere...
Honestly I know this is a controversial opinion but I feel nrs is kinda lazy in there lack of motivation in giving the 3D cast that Stryker treatment when most are pretty easy to update in the modern mk entries. Like even after I think 2 decades since the ps2 era games came out they just act like there to hsu how levels of impossible when there really just being over dramatic children when they have skills to make anyone a fan favourite
When I was younger I always found funny how his name was one L short from being literally called Bad Guy in portuguese, I guess I was closer to the truth than I thought xD

Mavado>>>
I actually kind of like Hsu hoa 🤣 I think he looks cool and the fact he was a chinese spy is a bit interesting I just wish mk brought back more characters tbh
Since Hsu Hoa is basically a Kano copy I can’t really like him since Kano is my tied number one favourite character with Ermac. So Mavado it is
Hsu Hao
Hsu hao is one of my favorites
Literally binged watched all your lore related videos, ran out and was craving more 🤧
Hsu Hao is probably the most hated character in mortal kombat, while mavado had some potential.
Very true, Hsu Hao basically just blew up a building...then died lol
Sone of the hate of su hao is because ed boon didn't like him and some people said that hey the creator of mortal kombat doesn't like him hao lets hate him
Why is he hated ???
@@jibbobdion5072 that's the thing they never gave us a reason. Or at least one I can remember. The creators are the ones who hate him the most.
Mavado has potential to continue, but Hsu definitely was created to be a supporting character to die
These both can be easily revamped and have some love.
Imagine: Mavado, an cold blooded leader, equipped with compound swords, and Hsu Hao, his head hunter with pulsing energy heart that gives him ability to empower himself, almost like DC's Bane.
Back in my silly teenage years I thought Mavado looked cool and so I really liked his inclusion and idea of introducing another evil org & counterpart to the Black Dragons. Nowadays my fondness for him has lessened but he is a character with interesting ideas. Certainly more than Daegon at least.
Hsu Hao...eh I’m more neutral with him, but the endless hatred heaped upon him amuses me to no end.
I might be the only one that genuinely loved Hsu Hao. I feel like these guys are underrated and really deserve a second chance.
Mavado was cool to say the least not great but cool.
I agree. I don’t think people even know why they hate Hsu Hao, they just do 🤣 netherrealm could easily redux these two into some badasses
I like to think that even the underrated characters are no less important than the more popular ones. They all have a role to play.
Same. I don’t get the hate
People here saying that only Macado has potential, but Hsu also has ton of it. The Red Dragon itself is a great antagonist force
Mavado's design is pretty cool. They could have done more with him with the whole honorable villain thing.
He betrayed his own realm, he isn't honorable.
@@Euro.Patriotwell honorable within the Red Dragon organization
I think mavado had a lot of potential. It would be interesting to see him show up in the newer games. Especially with the stretchy ropes he’s got.
Adding in the Red Dragon clan to the lore was a cool move. Gives more insight into the Black Dragon too
These characters sound way more interesting then Cole from the movie that's for sure.
The random NPCs moving around mindlessly in the background of modern day MK stages are more interesting than that chucklefuck, lmao
Honestly his story or the story of the red dragon is great and quite interesting
Hsu Hoa did so much for the series and people hate him. Half of the events that took place in the old timeline wouldn't have ever happened if not for Hsu Hao. I personally thing if he had some polishing and a new character direction, he'd be a fan favorite for sure
4:58
He is in the top 5 gameplay wise. He has easy style branches and his weapon stance has the same moveset as Kano.
I liked the interaction between Kano and Fujin
'How ya doing Raiden lite?'
'Alright, Hsu Hao'
Calling him Hsu Hao was the ULTIMATE low blow lol.
I did not expect you to be able to pull 20 minutes of video out of these two goobers 😂
Surpringly there's a decent amount of backstory there.
Mavado and Hsu Hao aren't bad characters,they just need ALOT of upgrades to make them better.
So their bad then.
@@fightingmedialounge519 No,I'm saying that they are at least fixable characters.
@@featherguardian6023 which isn't mutually exclusive from being a bad.
@@fightingmedialounge519 Giving them a second chance won't hurt the franchise.
@@featherguardian6023 maybe, maybe not. That doesn't mean they aren't bad characters as they are now.
Hsu Hao could have a second chance, same with Mavado. I'm FLABBERGASTED tho that Ed Boon hates Drahmin. Drahmin's the best man-
in my opinion, hsu hao and movado deserves to return but better improvements than they were before.
Honestly I would love to see them back and reworked as awesome characters. They just need a real purpose in the series.
@@GamerThumbTV if they can improve bo rai cho in mkx or frost in mk11, then they can obviously improve movado and hsu hao.
@@GamerThumbTV dude what's song is that intro
Glad you're covering this video
You'd be surprised how many Hsu Hao requests I've gotten haha.
I'm 99% sure Mavado was going to be in MK X, but they got nervous about fan response, and repurposed him as Takeda. If you were going to mod Mavado into X, all you'd have to do is swap the Scorpion variation for a Hooksword variation.

MK X desperately needed an Aftermath-style prequel DLC covering this, and especially the story of Havik, Reiko and the Reiko Accords... ya know, the best part of the entire story of MK X

Insteresting history on these two, never really played as them in the game good history of them non the less though
Good evening everyone, hope you all had a rad day. On to the VIDEOOOOOO
Mavado is my favorite he's awesome
You thought he wouldn't make a video on these jobbers? You're wrong! GamerThumb lives on! *hahdoublelauidhauwurkfksjdhdkddnkdjej!*
*falls off a cliff*
Not jobbers 😂😂😂
Great job on this video Fabian !
The original Time Line is so mysterious first they said that Taven beat Blaze then it's shao khan.
Basically they retconned it so Shao Khan win. You can always look at Taven winning as another alternate timeline, or just non canon. But yea, the original plan was Taven wins
The funniest thing from deadly alliance is quan chi neck pull fatality 😂😂😂
Mavado also didn't kill Kenshi like he thought he did. He left him wounded and Sub-zero saved his life
That's in the Kenshi video
@@GamerThumbTV I gotcha
I was just pointing how Mavado failed at that too.
The two people he thought he killed, he didnt
I enjoyed the video
22:13 Hsu hao and mavado are my top 2 then Kenshi and li mei, frost rounding out my top 5 in characters since DA was my first MK game when I was 8 yrs old. Been a MK fan ever since. Even though my fav characters been getting the shit stick imo.
Hey Li Mei and Kenshi are back in MK1. We may see some of the others again.
Do a video on the Malibu character
Can you do a lore video on Gears of War and God of War series? Love your videos :)
Ah yes, my two favorite punching bags.👊💥🤕
How is Mavado a punching bag? He only lost 3 fights.
Hsu Hao's severed head should be a character in kombat pack 3
Still waiting on a ninja gaiden and doa timeline video that you said you'd do a while back
Do taven and daegon
Woahhhhhhh I'm this early. That's pretty cash money.
Can you do Raiden next?
AKA NOT Kabal and NOT Kano
AKA Kabal is his bitch and AKA People call me a ripoff but Kano himself stole his own backstory and cybernetic heart :)
Kabal is his bitch despite beating the breaks off of mavado, and Kano couldn't have stolen anything from hsu shao since the former came first.
@@fightingmedialounge519 He stole his freaking story
@@mavadofgc2840 not how time works.
Tony Stark should sue Hsu Hao for copying his unibeam
we need mavado for the next mk12. thats all
And with the new timeline that’s very possible.
Mavado is here in MK1 as a Kemeo
WTF?! I was sure TH-cam took this channel down after it was hacked. It didn't promote a single video for over a year! Good to see you back even though you didn't go anywhere...
Really? TH-cam restored the channel after a couple of weeks.
When do you think you’ll do a history of shujinko.
I don't have a specific date but it'll be a Shujinko/Onaga video in one
There was actually a Mongol emperor called Kublai Kahn
Originally the idea was that Hsu Hao would've been descended from Genghis Khan but that was all dropped.
I wanna see a Street Fighter timeline from you.
It's coming soon actually
@@GamerThumbTV Cool. Would a Star Fox timeline be possible? I wanna see how you cover Star Fox Adventures.
Poor hsu hoa was born into this world by his creators/gods to be a punching bag. not cool
(Looking at their corpses and scoff from my nose with a smirk) Chumps
I think you meant the "Village People", instead of YMCA.
Close enough, 😂😂
Great video, as always!!
Haha....didn't even realize I said YMCA. Whoops. That's the song I was thinking of when I was recording.
That ending though no fatality 😂😂😂 y’all wrong.
To be fair these characters only had 1 fatality....period lol.
Whats next for the timeline videos
I liked Mavado more than Reject Kano
So its safe to say Erron killed Hsu Hao ?
Well he survived once before so who knows lol.
@@GamerThumbTV good point lol
Ummmm sooo Kung Lao should def be next.
Honestly I know this is a controversial opinion but I feel nrs is kinda lazy in there lack of motivation in giving the 3D cast that Stryker treatment when most are pretty easy to update in the modern mk entries. Like even after I think 2 decades since the ps2 era games came out they just act like there to hsu how levels of impossible when there really just being over dramatic children when they have skills to make anyone a fan favourite
You should watch the new MK animated movie Snowblind. It actually had some really cool updated versions of underused characters
We just need new members
Do kotal khan
The village people? Or the YMCA
Yea totally meant to say The Village People lol.
When I was younger I always found funny how his name was one L short from being literally called Bad Guy in portuguese, I guess I was closer to the truth than I thought xD
