Agreed 💯 All these young kid's don't even know who JCVDM is lol 😆

And mk1 was originally going to be a universal soldier tie in game but they didn't want to do that so they made mortal kombat instead.

Plus they originally wanted Jean Claude Van Damme to play Johnny Cage in the movie, but he turned it down to do Street Fighter.

I love the fact this is now a thing! Jean Claude as a skin yes I’m down he has been my favorite since I was a kid and first saw blood sport back in the day! JCVD❤

​@Jason Miller " you like sushi 😎 ?"

And you were right.

Agree

I'm sure all those moves were actual fatalities in the game

I mean the way it was framed and paced pretty much guarantees that

It def is u can see it cut to the gameplay part when he does it idk how to explain it did it in mk 11 to and all trailers show a fatality

I would hope so. He's become one of the more boring characters since MK9 IMO, so this would be a 2000% improvement over any of his fatalities from the last 12 years.

I dont think shang tsung is the big bad tbh. As a counter to the first MK1, where liu kang was the underdog and tsung was the boss, they make a point to show liu kang absolutely decimate tsung in the first trailer. I think they did that to bring MK1 full circle and show that shang tsung is no longer any threat to liu kang. the actual threat isnt known yet imo

@@MF-wf5wwWhat if they make Onaga the big bad

To be real, I think I like Shang Tsung better as the main villain than Shao Kahn. Shao is a classic, but he is rather one note, Shang Tsung is interesting, he is manipulative and conniving, he is that type of villain who starts from the bottom and earns their way to the top.

​@@MF-wf5ww it might be Liu Kang then.

@Ryan As a big Ermac guy myself, I feel that. Those both feel like characters right in that middleground where I feel like they both have a good shot at being involved in the game, but are at a high risk of getting relegated to kameo status

Then how do you only have a theory

True but this is nothing new SF literally does this every game. MK has in a way since mk9 they all been way different.

@@lbady1423 SF only really accomplishes this by not giving a fuck about their lore & characterization. And yet they still CLAIM to have a "timeline" of linear events so they don't lose any fans of previous entries while they progress characters to match current trends. What we have here with MK RE-Reboot (I'm not calling it MK1) is a rarity in fighting games (and the 2nd for this series) - a complete re-invention of the franchise, with new rules & new dynamics and yet they acknowledge the progression from previous entries.

@@carloscreative5538 that doesn’t change my stand on what I’m saying to him. Last 3 MK games shouldn’t have felt like a barrier to entry to any new player. They all were new. As far as rebrand go i wouldn’t call it that. MK just tell they story in a unique way. Like you said it maybe called MK1 but this plays off MK11 story. As we all know MK9 was called MK so who’s to say the next game won’t be MK13. With them never truly leaving the past storylines how is it even considered a rebrand in anything but the names. Regardless it’ll be a story barrier for new players. Just not when it comes to how the game plays. That side has never really had a barrier in the last 3 games of mk. As I said sf change with all games completely so it’s not a barrier for new players either besides motion inputs. As for SF story that shits fucked for ever lol.

@@carloscreative5538 SF definitely has a timeline of events. It's a bit messy, but it's there. The new games scarcely omit the major plot points of previous entries. SF is very weird in that it's told in an obscure way (the games aren't released in chronological order, despite having a linear numerical namesake (1-6). SF 1, The Alpha series, II, IV, V, 3 series, then the upcoming 6. MK's done a better job of keeping their story linear, as messy as it is too they've been cleaning it up in these recent years. Tekken's probably the only (major) FG where the story has been consistently forward-facing. I also think calling it MK1 is confusing, but fine. The previous "reboot" was a soft-reboot that just reset the timeline. This one reset the entire universe and therein makes sense they refer to it as "1." It's going to be wild to see what they keep naming them after this. Imagine a rehashing of each namesake and them having to add a year to it to supplement lmao. "Mortal Kombat 2 (2025)" 😂

@@MergedWarriors Yet he plays games that are not intended for children tho.

Yet other major channels can show everything no problem

Apparently there is no Shao Kahn, therefore Ermac wouldn't exist so Kitana's father and Edenia are prosper (maybe Sindel is also dead or cast away)

​@@sagardi then mileena shouldn't exist because she was made for shao kahn to replace Kitana and please him after fucking up. Plus ed has been hinting at Ermac stuff

And Shang Tsung canonically got his powers from Shao Kahn

It's a reboot, it's not retelling the events of MK with twists, they likely are looking to start fresh with new rules and players. Characters can potentially exist with very different backstories, I think we should keep an open mind regarding "canon" from the last few games and look forward to new ideas.

​@@alteredizzy reboot

Yeah, he should just just babality them and stuff them all into Kindergarten. AND THEN BEAT THEM UP! /s

Sounds to me more like if you involve others in your fight he comes down on you, but duels are just fine

To be fair, Shang Tsung isn't the kind of guy to say 'We have our differences, so let's settle them in a friendly fight.' He's more the 'I'mma pull your soul outta your body and turn you into an evil zombie version of yourself' kinda guy. Granted, we can't glean much context from the trailer alone, but generally speaking Shang Tsung only ever considers peace if he can get something out of it that he'll later use to backstab you. If you know that a guy has killed before and likely has every intention of killing again, is it fascism to take whatever steps are necessary to stop them? This isn't rhetorical btw, I'm genuinely asking.

so what your saying is they should just copy what they already did with Superman in Injustice.

@@lutherheggs451 As far as I know, Superman isn't fascist.

That was important why old games is heavily remember compare to un finished crap games today

Based SF6

Wombat kombat😭😭😭🤣🤣

They might make it something like JoJo: All-Star Battle, where every character can be picked either as a playable character or an assist character given the backlash from the community.

“Unique roster,” so it sounds exactly like that. I won’t mind it IF the base roster is a really good roster, cause then we get more characters that we wouldn’t have seen anyways, but backlash will be big if long awaited characters like smoke or cyrax are assist moves

Sounds a lot like what the first MARVEL vs. Capcom did.

@Aaron Roberto brother Tekken and mortal kombat destroyed sfv in the previous years. Sf6 looking good but don’t say the latter isn’t going to do well too lol

@@tugitbrothers3699 SF5 even at its worst wasn't a janky game. Even Max said it: Every concern lies in gameplay. MK1 is just playing to their strengths so far.

And it's only 4 months out?

@@tugitbrothers3699 nah Tekken 8 is looking pretty underwhelming with the lack of content and isn’t in a mood of release anytime soon. Capcom on the other hand learnt from their mistakes and are delivering way more in their latest SF.

@AaronRoberto Isn't Tekken the best selling fighting game franchise? That aside, I think you're right that it's next year.

I did too. But now I'm wondering if it really did show gore...

@@cloudneostormful go check it out for yourself lol

@@cloudneostormful oh yes it did

we got that ps showcase next week so maybe more will get shown 😭

Well, they did cut off support for MK11 damn near immediately after finishing their DLC. (Smash Ultimate was supported longer for comparison) So they've been working on this for a LONG time.

I mean, what can we do? At the end of MK11, it's literally about rebooting the timeline, and of course the next installment (this game) is being rebooted again.

I don't think this is a MK reboot, it just has 1 in the title because of what's going on with the story, but doesn't seem to have anything to do with the actual first mortal kombat game.

How can it be a reboot if Liu Kang starts off as a god? It's 100% a continuation to MK11. I think people are way too fixed on the "1" in the name

Agreed.

I don't think they'd be foolish enough to put popular characters like Ermac as Kameo characters. They showed Mileena in this trailer on purpose, they know who the fan favorite fighters are. Unless Ed has somehow been able to ignore the rabid Ermac and Reptile fans that have been endlessly spamming his Twitter, they won't make the same Mileena mistake by not properly including them. Seriously, it's a big meme how much everyone wants those two back, it'd be crazy out of touch if they weren't fully playable again. I'm betting the Kameo roster is gonna be filled with 3D era characters and the less popular 2D characters (like Syndell or Striker). Hell, we might even see some characters who shouldn't be able to conically be there as part of the Kameo roster. I wouldn't be surprised if the Kombat Kids were all Kameo characters (if they aren't DLC, that is).

@@Miriam_J_ Yeah, I think those kameos should mostly be brand new characters or obscure characters that appeared in previous games.

In some ways its a tease yeah, but if they are signing up certain characters as kameo fighters only, then surely if it was only standard 1v1, they just wouldn't be in the roster at all.

@@Miriam_J_ they were foolish enough to reduce reptile and ermac to krypt scenery so idk...

Could it mean tag battle is coming back?

Yeah refreshing after having many characters being retconned to being evil.

That combined with the Kameo thing pretty much confirms it

@@notredboi Kameo?

​@@mdalsted Did you not watch the video?

They're literally following the events of MK11 and Aftermath. Its not some sort of reboot. Liu Kang literally had to rebuild the world after his fight with Kronika

@@lutherheggs451 Yeah, rebuild the world. Artistic license to reinvent some things, and it looks like theres a bit of that already with scorpion and sub. Edit: Also note its not MK 12. That's obviously on purpose.

@@lutherheggs451 tbh thats just a lazy way to reboot characters and world building its just so they can keep the franchise fresh and draw more people

It sucks that they ain’t at launch, but at least they’re coming. That’s good.

They seem so be avoiding PC to prevent a leaked beta sittuation, much like happened to SF6

Ha this is the "ONE" reaction you want to see. Very nice 👍

NRS games are sleeper.

Good year yes. Phenomenal would mean Killer Instinct finally making a return.

Doubt we will see the kombat kids for now. This is pretty early in the timeline. I am worried about the new characters though with this new time line. Personally I prefer some OGs.

Most people recognise Fire Hod Liu Kang so I feel bare minimum are familiar with the end of MK11 which already alluded to the reboot in Aftermath.
