I don’t feel sorry for majority of Mortal Kombat community because they have zero self respect because they are afraid to say the blunt truth.

The MK community on twitter is the equivalent of a child going 'lalala I can't hear you!' when they receive criticism about the game lmao.

I’m a massive Mortal Kombat fan but I simply cannot defend MK1 - it’s an abomination in my opinion.

Funny mk1 couldnt even hit the 1,000 entry mark with all dlc included and still couldnt do it while 3rd strike more than 20yrs old did is so hilarious 😂😂😂

The Mortal Kombat community gets what it deserves. Period.

As much of a fan that I am of MK, I could admit that MK1 has been a mess. Between all the bugs, lack of content and questionable actions taken, or lack of action taken by NRS, it has overall not been a good experience. The good things that I could say about it are the graphics and I actually do think that the gameplay is more fun than MK 11’s. Like you said before, the only way things will really change is if you hurt their wallet and affect their bottom line.

It still bothers me that we couldn't get Anthony Starr as Homelander but we got Megan Fox as Nitara...I definitely wouldn't have bought it if i knew i was getting Homelander from Wish.

Ive heard that all the QA testers report all these glitches but it never gets adressed bc higher ups only care about deadlines. NRS actually used to be model FG devs, remember they were the first company to ever retroactively add rollback to a game (mkx) and had rollback in their games years before their competition. I cant imagine the modern state of the company ever going to those lengths. I think it probably has to do with WB games in general is mishandling many beloved IPs for easy cash grabs.

Weirdest part to me is majority of the criticism is surrounded around the game development and community team and the players the people who are being victimized are defending them. Like, why are y’all defending the people who don’t GAF about y’all. Literal FGC Stockholm syndrome.

19:40 was so factual. dmc fans will eat you alive if you hate on dmc 3 but if you hate on dmc 2 you will hear a unanimous “sounds about right”. Unanimous negativity comes to games that definitely deserve it

I’ve been apart of this community since 2011. We honestly don’t even deserve a good competitive game anymore. If content creators, commentators, and pro players are too afraid to say how this game is OBJECTIVELY horrible and bad. Nothing will change. It was fun while it lasted.

Can you imagine buying a car and it not work properly right from the start?

Tom Brady touches on this really well. All my MK friends have moved to Tekken 8 and I don't blame them one bit.

The mk community is the greatest example of stolkhome syndrome. The game is handled like it's a free to play game. This game has been awful and terrible since day 1. No one wants to admit that this game sucks. Wish I got street fighter instead. M. Bison got me so hyped

This is comparable to Bethesda fanboys. It's been a year since Microsoft bought them out and nothing but Redfail and Unfinished Starfail. Few months away for Mk1 full year release and nothing to show for. Truly an embarrassment for triple A gaming.

Listen as much as I'm ashamed to admit it, I love playing Overwatch 2, cause it's fun, yet i would never pretend most of the criticism aimed at it is not valid; people need to realize just because you like something it isn't perfect

Mk has had a downfall as catastrophic as the new assassin creed games both are modern dog shit and I have got all the mks that is definitely changing to me only playing sf and tekken

This is the black pills MK fans need to accept: - Mortal Kombat is not a fighting game, it is a 1v1 action game. I'm not even gonna elaborate, they can mull it over themselves. Some iterations were better than others but the teams Boon puts together, whether Acclaim, Midway, Williams, NetherRealm - they were never good at creating a 'fighting game'. Still fun, iconic series; not a fighting game. - MK's "esports community" was completely astroturfed by WB Games using influencers since MK9. Competitive interests was never as organic as they wanted you to believe. - There is not a single MK game that can touch even the worst Japanese fighting games on a mechanical, design level. Not a one. - Killer Instinct is the West's only actual fighting game series. - If Mortal Kombat is to improve, it needs to adopt mechanical trends MK fans claim are stupid or outdated. - Yes, Tekken 8's story is better than MK1. Yes it's because of one of the biggest 3rd act fumbles I've ever seen in a story.

Just a quick point, want my voice heard here on something I disagree with: I think people are misunderstanding Alana’s Pearce when she says “situational disability.” From the context of her statement, I think it’s clear that she’s turning a phrase to discuss “things that disable you in a situation” and not comparing having a child to having a disability. I think some people when discussing this are being disingenuous, but I think most are just misunderstanding her. Language is fluid and she’s merely speaking a little flowery to discuss contexts in which a pause button would be useful. Her follow-up statements on Twitter confirm this. Great video!!!

Ten good things about mk1? easy. Number 10: Reptile is hot Number 9: Reptile is hot Number 8: Reptile is hot Number 7: Reptile is hot Number 6: Reptile is hot Number 5: Omni-Man is hot Number 4: Reptile is hot Number 3: Reptile is hot Number 2: Reptile is hot Number 1: Reptile is hot

Granblue and UNICS are objectively better than MK1, but even more: those two games ooze with the care and love the developers have put, and continue putting on them. They are small in production, but gigantic in quality, competive potential and heart.

MK fans will say anything just to avoid giving nrs accountability it’s still mfs trying to blame WB 😭

That "Wait a second.. Oh... Oh dear... Oh deary me..." Got me I cant lie 🤣😂🤣

Wait remember when MK1 1ST trailer dropped majority of these same ppl were bragging on how much views it had over Tekken 8 and street fighter 6. Now they wanna throw this cope fail out at us. We have the last laugh now and this is why the NRS community is a joke.

It really makes you wonder if NRS is looking for a way to tank the competitive side of Mortal Kombat. They are intentionally making it bad in order to give higher ups the justification they need to tank the competitive side and just make it about the single player.

Folks defend what they're associate with. It's better to call out the terrible situation instead of a shill

I like MK1, I enjoy playing it, but I can accept that people view it as trash, I even share the similar criticisms about it.

9:54 What a quote, these people actually tried to say "Well see how you feel about the game at 250 hours and come back"

I was shocked with what I've seen posted. It's like they live in a bubble.

I can’t believe mk fans still talking about tekken 8 is a bad game. SMH

Ngl I did miss your mk1 videos man!

As a MK fan, and one of those people who fell into the hype of MK1. I have a personal story with this, I was playing MK1 recently and just couldn't help something was off. This was just when Mavado kameo came out. I was playing some towers, and something just came to me. I'd rather be playing these kameo characters instead of just them being what is essentially a glorified special move. WB and NRS marketed MK1 as a team fighting game, and its just not. I really wanted to like MK1, and there are parts of the game that I do enjoy, but its just so rough. I want this game to be good, but its just not.

The main trouble is that that someone like me, who likes the game, would want to play something else. I love MK1, I just love strive more

At this point even if ed boon says mk1 is bad or has its flaws, people will talk against it like brainwashed monkeys

Okay, can we just talk about how WB is literally ruining all of my fighting games. They literally ruined multiverses and have the same toxic positivity issues. I don't know why every consumer for WB is just blatantly defending them for no good reason, while all they've done is misrepresent all of the things we love.

While watching the last video Tom uploaded, I suddenly saw that the video was hidden. Does anyone know the reason?

Takeda actually looks goated

Mr Hollow I went against you in Shambolic Showdown in T8 (No Heat Edition). I won a round but got swept right after. I got the rub bro. I’m coming close to Blue rank based on what I learned off that one match. Thanks.

I won’t play one because of how I felt about 11 at launch. I remember getting my hand on the case and remember being flooded with loot boxes and a currency grind against bs towers at launch 11. So yeah I’m sad to see that I was correct cause the gameplay looks very… fun..

Insane copium. MK deserves it's criticism and the shills accepting this subpar stuff from MK don't help it improve at all. I would have thought MK fans are tired of dealing with incompetent devs and stupid story writers who made Kuai Liang into Scorpion for some stupid reason but I guess not

When Ermac came out I genuinely thought the game was heading into the right direction but nah, since Homelander is released we’ve gone back to square one where we have too many bugs and glitches.

Still no online training mode or training while waiting for a match. I believe it’s been a year now. Also how long have you been playing uncharted 4 multiplayer? I played the hell out of that game when it first came out

MK take's its self to seriously. From 90's tongue in cheek cool factor to mid-life crisis. Plus the series has always been bit of a basic bitch mechanically compared to other fighter's

It's absolutely shambolic seeing mk shills make excuses. People are still playing smash bros ultimate, street fighter 6, tekken but mk1 is dead. There's a plethora reasons why the mk1 shills just don't wanna hear it

Sonic fox forgets he dunks on the game and cries loud until nrs tweaks something in his favor. After that he loves it again. They named a mkxl trophy after him and mentioned him in the credits song on mk1.

It’s crazy how this was once a respected IP because they cared about their IP now it’s like let’s get millions at the expense of the consumer and quality of the project. It feels so weird that there’s a new mk out (MK1) and I decided to wait and see how they treat the game instead of just getting it on day one. It was a good decision that I didn’t do that.

It genuinly makes me upset as a mortal kombat fan to see people defending the sorry state of the game when they could all be making there voices heard so NRS actually makes a fun game.

10 good things in mk1(not in any order) 1.Kameo-we get to see more characters in the game that they would not consider in main rosters 2.shrine- no duplicate items unlike other games rng system. 3.silver coin currency earned for just playing online to unlock free skins 4.forced best of 3 in ranked online. Gives a chance to learn and make a comeback 5. Cheaper premium skins costing $5-6 compared to other games that cost $10-20 for skins in $60-70 games. 6. More value per dollar with kombat packs compared to street fighter and tekken in the sense of volume of characters and guest characters included. 7.story mode. Has great quality cutscences, good story, did not evolve or raise bar but is still at quality of previous mk games. 8. Krossplay including pc. Mk11 did include krossplay but only between consoles.mk1 has full crossplay including consoles and pc, this was late but still good. 9. Wifi filter. Gives player the option to reject wifi matches or poor connections. Could it be better,yes,was it late yes but this is still good to have than not. 10. Promised support for the game. This is good,new content, new balance patches, they will not give up on the game after year 1 of release. Compared to like mvc infinite where it was received poorly and developer gave up on game,did not even try to "fix" game.

1: The gameplay: It’s easy and straight to the point, and i have my 50/50 win streak, slighly leaning on the winning side, unliky most fighting games when the losing streaks are high. 2. The Shrine: I like the randomness of it, you never know what you’re going to get, and when you get a skin for a fighter, it feels so good! 3. Intro dialogues: NRS are the kings of this, even with the two line exchanges, especially the Guest Characters for the most part. Instead of just being John Cena, Peacemaker feels like Peacemaker, no forced 'YOU CAN'T SEE ME!' to Kenshi, he actually treats him with respect. 4. Stage transitions: Instead of loading the stages, the fight is ready to go when the intros are over, even sooner if you skipped them. I frist saw this when I was 17, and It’s so smooth. 5. Season Shine. While not perfect, I find it really fun to collect coins to buy skins and gear just by playing online. 6. Lui Kang. I love that’s he's a god now, and not in a Mary sue way with proper limitations to his power that he choose to have. I aslo love that Lui Kang is moving further away from his Bruce Lee roots, instead of just being a copy and paste like most of the other Bruce Lee instpired fighters. Liu kang for smash! 7. Baraka: I love a disease that turns you into a monster, that's real horror here. Unlike most fatalities, he and Milenna can technically stay in character while doing them while you can pin thier disease on it. Even though some people think that MK characters killing thier opponents, the most iconic part of the franchise, 'ruins' thier characters, it's nice when it makes actual sense. Uneeded, but a nice touch. 8. Kombat League: While i never got Elder God on neither MK or MK11, it was still cool to get rewards while playing online, unlike most fighting games. 9. Stages: Amazing. So much deatil, they’re long, and the different versions change so much. 10. Since the frist trailer of this game back in May, it has been so Hype! I watched all of the trialers with my Mum, and I loved her reactions. The disspoiment of certain characters insfed of others, the excitement, everything. But the stand out for me was the Kombat pack. Unlike the rest of us, she didn’t know the characters what would be in it, and when she saw Homelamder, she lost her pants. Completely. I have this game to thank for that memory.

Yoo, is that Uncharted 4 Multiplayer gameplay? Wasn’t expecting it here for this channel.

Also no on should be paying attention to the perfection guy, he’s just a xenoverse troll that likes rage baiting people to get views.

You forgot one thing. MK12 is infected by SBI. And yes I said MK12 because NetherRealm Studios can't do math. #JusticeForSoulCalibur

Toxic community will remain a toxic community from “Pro Players” harassing and bullying casuals to the amount of negativity that still remains around to this day since 9 is absolutely absurd

1. MK1 just gave me a shot at getting Sparking Zero. I'm too broke for it right now lol 2. It serves as a lesson to fighting devs on what not to do for both casual and hardcore community members. 3. They made Omni-Man vs Homelander happen. Definitely an unexpected move when they were first announced. 4. Voice acting was phenomenal. Reptile is a much better character for it and is actually better for the changes. 5. Megan Fox is the prime example of why hiring professional VAs are important. It is a big teachable moment. 6. The concept of assists in MK was nice on paper at first. Though i think they shouldn't do it again, I respect them trying to change things up. 7. NRS bringing back characters from the spinoffs and lesser known MK games was cool to see as a long time fan. 8. Takeda is back. I can actually try to get back into the game. 9. The netcode is only slighty better than MKX and MK11 at launch. (That doesn't say a lot, but it had to be mentioned.) Lol 10. Lastly, the game is graphically well done. Its just a beautiful mess of a game. Bruh, I'm reaching further than Luffy with this comment, but i want Sparking Zero 😂😂

Bro i saw an Mk fan telling this about Cyber ninjas possible gender swap : "they *never* had a certain gender cuz they were robots so it's ok if they're women now" 💀 My mouth just dropped

Mk1 is like paying for a fully priced brand new car. Then you later learn it doesn't come with air conditioning, heating, power windows and it has half the horse power of the previous model. Then, the dealer asks you to pay extra if you'd like any of those "additional" features or you can earn them by driving 100,000 miles each.

1. Story of characters like Baraka and Reptile are much better in MK1 then previous titles 2. It had a pretty decent roster selection 3. They basically retcon the retcon on Sindels character 4. Although different from what we got in the past I did like the stage designs for this. 5. I like how they handled reptile, with him switching between his reptile and human form 6. I liked how they handled Ermacs move set and most importantly that they gave him a mask 7. Cyrax's fatality. That is without a doubt my favorite Kameo fatality with frost being my second favorite. They are so goofy but still feels old school MK fatals. Funny but quick 8. The fact that you can do brutalities and Fatalities with the Kameos 9. I do like that we got to see Jarred in the story and his reunion with his family 10. I did like fighting the Kombat Combined characters during the final chapter of the story mode. Man that was tough. I really had to think hard to come up with some of these

i don't mind Evo , but i want to talk about how the writing has been stagnant ever since MK9. Mk has always been about this cool tournament full of different fighters who had unique abilities , not time travel or anything. And how the gameplay fell off since how terrible was MK11 . I think mk should be sold to another company because of how badly NRS and WB are ruining it.

Unrelated but whats ur outro called??

1. Gameplay (combos are fun to do and fun to learn) 2. Story mode (got weird at the end but overall pretty good story) 3. Kameos ( a pretty good idea and a bunch of the kameos are fun to use, if a little broken) 4. Cosmetics (the cosmetics from the shop, while they are pretty overpriced, range from decent to really great) 5. Guest characters (all the guest DLC characters are fun to play with and fit MK well) 6. Towers (ik that its standard for every MK game but I feel like the tower endings in this game are pretty good) 7. Fatalities (we have a lot of the best fatalities in MK history in MK1, such as lui kangs black hole fatality) 8. Brutalities (easier to excute and still very satisfying to pull off after a long combo) 9. Load speed (you can get into games very quickly, so its easier to do offline matches with friends) 10. Proximity chat (its also fun to have some banter with your opponent while playing) I kinda ran out things to say at the end but i tried my best 😂

List of good things about MK1: 1). I like they tried something new with the kameo system. Even if you don't like it, it's good to try new things. 2). Training mode makes going back to previous more popular MK games somewhat obsolete. I know because I tried - I played all the old school MK games up to Deception as a kid, and missed out on MK9 and MKX entirely. Word of mouth for MK1 was so bad I downloaded MKX to try it out, and quickly found myself uninterested because the training mode didn't give me viable tools to actually excel online to the extent I had with MK1. So I stuck with MK1 (warts and all). 3). MK1 gave me incentive to step outside of my bubble of habitually choosing Sub Zero and Scorpion or Baraka in favor of revitalized characters, such as Ashrah. So again, it's forcing me to try new things. 4). MK1 completely re-invigorated my love for fighting games - a passion of mine left more or less dormant since I was really young. 5). MK1 also forced me to purchase Tekken 8 and SF6 to see what all the fuss was about. Surely if MK1 was the worst thing ever and I still enjoy it, these other games must be amazing... sure enough, they were. 6). Having peaked my interest in fighting games I learned many mechanics that are universal to all fighting games - footsies, neutral, plus on block, frame data - things you wouldn't care to look into unless you were truly passionate about fighting games. 7). I love the combos in MK1. Seeing all the different combos with different kameos routinely pulled me back into the game when I thought I was done out of frustration with all the games bugs and glitches. It had things that kept me coming back, even when everything I heard on the internet and KZfaq was telling me it was a dumpster fire. 8). Because I had so many learning tools at my disposal in training mode, I actually took the competitive aspect of it online somewhat seriously seeing as how the built in-game training gave me hope competing against seasoned veterans of the game (at my peak I was #1 demigod in crossplay last season). 9). From what I understand, story mode is better than it's competition - although I must admit in competitive fighting games or videogames in general I could care less about stories. 10). I've wasted countless hours watching this game burn to the ground with a launch that is comparable to disastrous plot lines I had witnessed in National Lampoon's Vacation movies. I had actual visions of Ed Boon as Clark Griswold screaming at the staff of NRS: "No crossplay? Someone get WB on the phone... let's see if we can get another super hero for DLC, and if not.... maybe Goldust from the WWE.." ~ something to that effect. I've been quite entertained watching people scream and yell about this game, particularly Tom Brady - which is another good thing about the game because had it not had such a botched release I would've never found Tom's podcast..

2 things great about MK1. 1. The Title. Looking back on MK11, I've always felt, "Hey, the font is great but there's just too many 1s" And I for one, am pretty glad that someone on the Netherrealm team shared that sentiment. 2. I don't own an Xbox or PC so this is as close as i can get to playing Killer Instinct.

10 good things: 1) good roster purely by the characters, we have the classic and important characters (scorpion, liu kang, shao khan, sindel, kitana, mileena, sub zero and so on) with returning 3D era characters that a big part of the community wanted to have back, (like havik, reiko and ashrah); 2) a good choice of guest character and characters for dlc, (gameplay aside, no one can deny the characters they chose are loved and a very good choice for the season 1 dlc, something tekken kinda struggles; 3) graphics, I know I bash the style but it's undeniable the graphics are very realistic with good choice of color for the maps. 4) it's easy to learn characters, so just like smash you can main more characters much more easily than sf or tekken. 5) every character, dlc included gets interactions between all the cast and an arcade ending, so guest characters always have a reason to exist, and you get to have a context on why characters fight, for example I don't know why chun li fights herself, or why devil jin has beef with lili and needs to fight her, I can only assume chun li ate some super mario like mushro, and lili wants to make devil jin her butler, I don't know. 6) the story mode is long and satisfying with loved characters like reptile and baraka finally getting respect, and a great story, it fumbles a bit in the end but personally I liked the over the top ending, and I know many others that do too, being comic book fans. 7) the gore, present in all mk games, but it's still something that is good for mk, especially when it's basically the only or almost the only game with fights where you get realistic damage, and not just dirt. 8) the modding community is very passionate, and you can use mods easily, and nrs so far didn't attack any modders as far as I know. 9) AI voices for mk characters are available, and there are many funny video or even a universe with AI voices like the AI presidents. 10) quitality and fatalities, if someone quits he's not rewarded like how it's kinda happening in tekken, cause he is disrespected, and you can be toxic without being called toxic thanks to fatalities cause everyone likes em, while in tekken if you ki charge your called toxic. 11) international love, it's a great song, and many found this song thanks to the memes. This was hard to write, I don't play mk1, but I am an mk fan, and I know objectively mk1 is a bad game, and subjectively it often is worse. But hey I did the best I can for that sparkling zero.

I would pay a great sum of sheckles to see a MK1 talk with you and Sonic Fox

The thing is the majority of MK players don’t care about any of these things the FGC does. They just want to play as license characters, do a few combos, then do some customization after tower unlocks.

Mk is not a terrible game it just needs more attention to the community.The only thing we really have is ed boon giving us polls on twitter

Been a Mortal Kombat fan since the 90's. If I have learned one thing, it's that people in the "community" are the very definition of "Useless Contrarians". They don't want to believe there is anything wrong with their game so they don't. They want it to be hype and the best fighting game on the block and just absolutely refuse to accept reality. I don't like it either. I have HATED these past two games and I would love to see a proper return to form like MK9... ... But I am a Silent Hill fan, too, and THAT franchise honestly should have just died (for its own sake) after SH4. Seeing its rotting corpse getting puppeteered yet again by Konami for the 8th soon to be 11th time in a row after 20 years of nothing but garbage games... Yeah, I'd have preferred to see no games at all. Mortal Kombat isn't nearly as far along as Silent Hill, but the quality of the last couple games is certainly on par with how NOT in-tune with the IP they are. Learn to criticize what you love. It's the ONLY way this turns around.

is uncharted 4 multiplayer still active? might have to hop on

Let's not forget that a whole region still can't play online to this day

Can you please lower the volume of footages from other videos to the same level as yours? I'm having my volume on high to hear you talking but it gets super loud when you're showing other video footages.

SonicFox did show up for a Tekken 8 Tournament a while ago, I think it was Dreamhack Dallas, and he reached far considering how many entries there were, but not anywhere near Top 8

I hate how this game really got the SF5 treatment and they ruined this game big time. Like Invasions dropped the ball, we can barely get dragon krystals, the outfits were too expensive and this game is broken as fuck. The people defending this game aren't really looking at the reality of what it's at.

I knew this game was in trouble when the kameo system was revealed...

18:45 bruh, i started to watch your channel BECAUSE you're able to say what I'm thinking about mk1, from across the pond, in a better way than i can... Also when there's different views, i appreciate the explanations behind your thoughts and i fully respect it. However, i tried to regularly visit the MK Reddit last season for about two weeks and, holy shit, there are some absolutely delusional individuals there. I made a comment that was NOT as explicitly critical as i typically am, and i honestly believed i was being slightly positive and i was instantly met with [paraphrasing] "bullshit, no one thinks that - that's just rage bait" Like, holy hell, that cesspool of an echo chamber is just unbearable. The only reason i lasted two weeks in that 'community" is because of a couple people posting super helpful guides/tips to facilitate the Invasions grind.

What game are you playing in the background?

Ten good things about mk1 1 voice acting- you’d be lying if you said the voice acting wasn’t good, with the exception of nitara, but that’s not a valid debunking, you wouldn’t say a movie was ruined because one bad actor in it. 2-colorful/world design- I understand some people might not enjoy the brighter tone compared to previous mks but many do, maps are bright and generally take place in more happy places then mk11 and are more realistic compared to tekkens backgrounds of insane stuff like an asteroid. 3- story mode, not perfect but for a fighting game story mode it was pretty good, I liked it more then tekken seven where akuma got involved. 4- guest characters, it’s awesome to be able to play as characters that look so cool on tv, they are all well done and feel like the characters they represent. Omni man flys quickly and hits hard, peacemaker looks goofy and uses all his tools from the show, homelander was executed the best as he’s always flying and since in the boys tv show he didn’t learn how to fight in game he just throws haymakers like a child. 5-cosmetic quality, the cosmetics are expensive but I think most will agree they’ve made some interesting ones, reptile mileena, kitana earthrealm clothes come to mind, creative and cool looking, Johnny Indiana jones, plenty of examples if you look up cool mk1 skins 6- graphics, it looks much more realistic then tekken or most fighting games, this paired with brighter colors makes it beautiful, characters also often have moves with lots of color, like li meis purple or reikos red, kitana blue, mileena pink. So lots of color and it helps distinguish characters. 7- challenges for skins, a lot of people might not want to grind for the harder to get skins but for the ones who are dedicated it is a nice bonus, and the grind has to exist to keep the really hardcore players involved, 8-kameo system, first of all I like having my character always have all their moves instead of in variations. But cameos are cool, they allow for the same characters to be played differently, not to mention that it allows more fam favorite characters to make an appearance in game. For example playing omni man with jax means you want to be in the air, playing him with sareena means you’ll be in the ground more but have more range. Same character with the same moves but different play style. Also it allows for people to come up with combos that have more paths because different cameos give different combos. 9-realistic people, as opposed to street fighter or tekken where there are 400 pound guys jumping and spinning mk1 has more realistic character design. Think zangief from sf6 or king and the bears from tekken. 10- animations, in many other fighting games characters will have moves that look physically impossible, tekken has many. In mk1 characters are obviously very strong and able to jump/ have more power then real people, but when they do a kick it doesn’t look like they should’ve broken they’re back. 11(in case you refute or argue one of the previous), character uniqueness, in tekken characters have different roles they fall into, but for the most part you could most moves and switch them between characters and it wouldn’t be noticed. Like it’s mostly punches and kicks so most models could do that. In mk1 it’s punches and kicks but they have specialties to them, like raiden has elcticity in his strings, li mie has sparks and use of her dragon thing. Plenty of examples I don’t know how you reach out to me or if you’ll even see this. Just reply and I’ll see it, Im also subscribed because even though I disagree with some points I agree with many.

What game is this playing in the background I need the name pls

I think you're wrong in saying that the reason why MK1 doesn't have a strong competitive following is because of its issues. I'm sure they contributed but it's not the prevailing reason. If people are passionate enough, they will play the game, regardless of its state. The big reason why MK1 doesn't have a big competitive following is the same reason why every other MK didn't have a big competitive following. It's an extremely casual-oriented game whose appeal is more inclined towards mainstream audiences, who don't have the staying power that a dedicated fighting community has. Take a look at MK's EVO history from MK9 to MK1. MK1 isn't an outlier, not even a little bit. Every MK has sold gangbusters but still barely has a presence at EVO.

MK1 is a mid game that i play because i've played MK my whole life. We need another MK9 WB and NRS need another MK9. I'm not sure Ed Boon wants or knows how to make another MK9. I'm never preordering another game from WB again though that much is for certain.

10 Good Things about MK1 imo -Mileena and Kitana's relationship. I love em being ACTUAL caring family -Nitara being back despite the atrocious voice acting -The new lin kuei is pretty cool with kuai liang being the scorpion this time, nice spin on things -Johnny Cage being more than a generic comedy relief movie star goof -Baraka having depth and being an actual character with a merchant backstory - Reptile has the best design he has ever had (imo), and is not a random grunt character - Yuri Lowenthal as Smoke - Cage Mansion is a godlike stage - Very entertaining story mode in terms of cutscenes and narrative - uhh damn uhh... Kitana is a baddie??? Cant say nothing good abt gameplay dawg, I just want that Sparking Zero copy mk1 is rubbish💀 EDIT: Fuck he said 20, I cant glaze any more than i already have im sorry

The only good thing about MK1 that I can think of off the top of my head was that they removed the variation system from X and 11. It's the same problem I have with the V-System in SF5 where it felt like characters had moves arbitrarily gutted out of their base move pool in order to appease the new mechanic and artificially inflate the roster. In Street Fighter, Cammy has a move called Spin Knuckle, which allows her to get in while ignoring fireballs during the spin. It's basically her version of a tatsu. In SF5, this move became a V-Skill, but if you opted for her V-Skill 2, she got the new Axel Kick move which is pretty good for combos, but now you lost out on her best way to beat zoning. In MKX and MK11 it's arguably worse since characters lose out on not just one, but several moves from what was once considered their base kit just so everyone's Scorpoin could feel artificially different from everyone else's Scorpion and make the roster feel 3 times bigger than it actually is

32:33 I'm watching in a blurry quality, I was like when tf did guts and Griffith come in

10 Good things about mortal kombat: 1. The animations of the characters are simply gorgeous and are able to blend realism and vibrant colors to create some beautiful visuals and cutscenes that make the story bearable 2. The environments and set pieces of the mode are definitely a joy to look at, from the unique mansion of Johnny Cage, The hanging gardens, the living forest are such strong stage locations 3. The character interactions in the story mode are definitely enjoyable especially Johnny Cage and Kendhi, watching their relationship grow is definitely a highlight experience when you’re playing the story mode 4. Having Omni man and Homelander in the game with a diverse move set is something that i appreciate, neither of them feel like one another and that makes doing 1v1s with them far more fun. 5. The voice acting with exception to Megan Fox are all appealing to listen to and embody the life of the characters they’re portraying on screen. My favorites being Johnny Cage, Mileena, Sindel, Kenshi and shang tsung. 6. Shang Tsung having his iconic mask, glad Nrs can learn from their kindergarten intelligence sometimes, Ermac having the mask makes the design perfect and i like Ermac so that’s a banger 7.The ending cutscenes in the arcade being more connected to the canon future of the series instead of them just being filled you do just ffs. It gives a nice interesting idea of what the future of the nrs timeline can be. 8. Shang Tsung win in mk 11 becoming canon. I love shang tsung and if i was at rock bottom and bought mk 11, i woulda picked my goat Shang Tsung so having his win become canon and him being the only villain to actually win a mk game ( it counting Shao Kahn in armageddon) is a nice change of pace from the usual jobbing considering Shang Tsung run in aftermath 9.Sindel not being evil and Nrs learning from their kindergarten level intelligence is at least pleasurable to see, her being a strong empress and maternal figure gives me memories of the deadly alliance which had the best Sindel 10. A good majority of the story is enjoyable before it revolves because of multiverse. The series does the reboot quite interestingly and switches things up while not having much frustrating changes to the timeline, it’s able to definitely stand strong but that is until it goes bad in the last 4 chapters. 11. This garbage game is going to be the reason i could get Dragin ball sparkling zero. Let it be known, i will main kid Buu because he is the definition of a smoke demon and i will absolutely and his move set is always fun. IF baby Vegeta is in the game…then i declare war on every goku black main. gotta show them what a body hopping goat look like

Alright, here I go, so wish me luck: 1. MK1 is, from a graphical standpoint, an amazing game 2. MK1 has by far the most vibrant colors of almost any MK game period 3. The removal of stage interactions allows the dev to make some of the prettiest stages in MK history, especially ones like the Shaolin Training Grounds and the Living Forest 4. The facial capture in the rendered cutscenes is some of the best in the industry 5. The story mode itself is almost certainly the best story mode MK has ever had, even with its crappy ending 6. Long-time jobbers like Reptile and Baraka finally take the spotlight in the story mode, and they finally get to be cool 7. The return to the old meter system (mostly), though hardly an actual upside cause literally anything was better than MK11 8. The revitalization of classic 3D era characters who haven’t been playable in ages was cool 9. Re-introduction of air kombat is awesome since I love games with air combos 10. And finally, MK1 is the only fighting game with ultra wide support, thanks Gauze Hopefully these all count as positives, as I know many of these are hella divisive, but gimme a break, this game is hard to come up with 10 good things lol.

I’m not commenting to say the game is good I just want Sparkling Zero lol. #10 The Baraka we got in story mode has been the best, compelling version of the character. #9 Mileena and Kitana being blood sisters makes their dynamic more personal. #8 Sindel feeling like a true leader of Outworld and not just an evil love interest for Shao Kahn. #7 The game is beautiful and I know some people prefer the realistic look of MK11 but MK1 is visually beautiful. #6 The star power of Kombat Pack 1. Shame to not have Anthony Starr voice act Homelander but the likeness to him is uncanny and John Cena voice acting Peacemaker is awesome as well as J.K. Simmons Voicing Omni-Man. #5 Liu Kang and Kitana finally getting their kiss after years of building up to it. #4 Geras has been improved in every way since MK11. His nobleness, loyalty, and friendship to Liu Kang makes him more interesting and likable. Arguably has the best fatality in the entire game. #3 Controversial opinion but I believe human Raiden was done well. He’s charming and has charisma but is humble and grateful for his opportunity to be the champion of Earthrealm. #2 Smoke being the adopted brother of Scorpion and Sub-Zero added a layer to the character that felt missing from the previous timeline. Yuri did so well voicing him, couldn’t have asked for better. #1 Reptile being the best looking male in the entire game. Him being an entirely different species but managing to look like that is so funny. I know I didn’t mention any good things about the mechanics or the online experience but it’s because there really isn’t. I have loved MK since a young age, I remember watching fatality videos when I was 6-7 years old and hiding it from my parents so they wouldn’t get upset. My dad saw what I was watching said that was one of his favorite fighting games growing up. I am now 19 years old and I still love it, so knowing the state it’s in is heartbreaking but I don’t believe it’s fair for people to say it’s what our community deserves. We should want better for the future games not praying on its downfall

I used to cope on the game months after release but nowadays I feel ripped off lol. Other than the gameplay and characters. I wouldn’t have any other reason to play the game, I remember I couldn’t upload matches because the replay system was broken for the entire season of Sub-Zero and the patch that was supposed to fix it, didn’t do anything until the peacemaker update. At this point I just make fun of the game like how I did during MK11 lol. Not because I love doing it but because I love MK still otherwise I wouldn’t even shit talk it.

Also another take on that tweet " other game OGs don't dare pick up MK1, won't beat us in it" something like that, I remember PR Rog doing well in Injustice 1 and 2 among others like you already mentioned. FChamp did okay too in Injustice 1 with Sinestro for a bit

Real talk social media makes everyone look fragile. MK, sf, tekken, gg all of them. Even the non fighting games. Most ppl feel a need to champion things they like. Social media seems like a war zone over egos representing logos. Like when vara dark was talking about mk1 changed classic costumes and got so much heat from the MK community. Anyway. Great topic great video.

Uncharted 4? Nicely done😎👍

What game is this that you are playing?

great video bro, but me i hope NRS looks at whats been going since the release, take a hard look at themselves and say you know what ....next game will be a Banger. this situation have to humble them

9:42 You know what? This is something that’s been on my mind for while, so I’ll just say it. Invasions is just Mario Party if Mortal Kombat characters got transported to it. Also, Omni-Man, Peacemaker, and Homelander feel completely out of place in a game like this.

NRS has been clowning on the MK community ever since MK11

What game is I. The background?

what game is this on the screen tho?

I really love this new epilogue thing you got going on here after you finish with your vids. The Naruto music is a very nice touch. 🙌🏾👍🏾👌🏾

To be fair, you can make a hate video on devil May cry 2 And DMC people hated both these games 😅

MK11 was a shit game and what do you think happens when you build a new game on a foundation of shit? People are just gonna flush it...

I know its off topic but with Elden Ring, why tf does a single player game not have a pause button. That is so weird to me

Feel free to invite me on that debate if you need a casual's perspective
