Kuai Liang will always get that iconic scar no matter what timeline.

I love the voice actor they picked for Shang Tsung. Really sounds like a young Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa

God, I really hope Bi-Han's voice actor returns for MK2. He is fucking perfect.

Technically he didn't betray the Lin Kuei since he runs the clan. He did betray his family's values, betrayed Liu Kang and Earthrealm.

Whether it's Kuai Liang or Hanno Hasashi, Scorpion will always be badass.

Who would have thought. You'd think that Bi Han would be different this time around, but it seems history repeats itself with him.

How come no one else is talking about the raw emotion coming from kuai liang when his brother becomes corrupt? Such raw anger and heartbreak could be heard in his voice. Once he explodes in fire, that’s when we truly know he’s scorpion

Bi-Han's voice actor is soo badass. He made me love the character even more.

When Bi-Han’s eyes lit at “spoils of war” I was like, bro is very capable of war crimes 😂

that dagger fakeout was genius

To be fair you gotta see it from Bi Han's perspective: he's the leader of Earthrealm's strongest clan during this storyline, and are used as nothing more than fodder for Liu Kang. Of course as a leader he wants more than that. I wouldn't say Bi Han is evil, he's anti hero with goals to elevate his clan. Old timeline he was the same just not in charge.

I was upset about the change from hanzo scorpion to kuai liang scorpion at first but now it makes sense and brings a new meaning to the endless rivalry between sub zero and scorpion

shang's face has its smugness meter set to 200%

I really like how Bi han have that last shred of care there before scarring Kuai Liang's he could stab him anywhere fatal but he didn't he still hoping that his own brother his blood will join him. I guess even an evil still have shred of compassion

0:17 2:33 he cares for his brothers. 2:39 happiest I’ve seen Bi Han 2:45 ignores Bi Han’s excitement No wonder Bi Han’s so sulky, no one ever cares about how he feels lol.

Crazy how Bi-Han tricked him with that knife move. Scorpion looked at his hand then Sub-Zero like "Where the knife go?"

I kind of wish they went with a slower burn on Bi Han's turn. Use this game to illustrate the differences between him and Kuai Liang, while still making it seem like he's a decent enough dude. And then maybe have something happen in this game to exasperate his current frustrations to lead to him turning in the next game.

I wasn't expecting Daisuke Tsuji to voice Scorpion/Kuai Liang. I can imagine him saying "Honor died in the Lin Kuei." lol

Kuai Liang is always more heroic than his brother.

The only thing that I don't like is how they ruinned my pal Bi-Han. Bro is like Sindel, a tragic character who got killed, corrupted and ressurected as a twisted copy of himself.

Bruh must we always vilify Bi-Han…?

Can’t believe they pulled the “MK11 Twindel” on Bi Han.

The cut scenes is better than the actual movies

They defeated Shang and Quan chi but they couldn't beat Shao's soldiers

There's something about bi-han's voice i can't move on. It's too *cool*

1:34 BIHAN YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE!

Oh no Bi Han is evil... to the suprise of no one. The surprising part was Bi Han being the reason for the scar, Kuai Liang founding the Shirai Ryu and their first initiatite being Hanzo

13:18 I love how Kuai Liang said to Tomas (Smoke) We may not share blood, but we are brothers.

Oops! Liu made him worse by accident! The past timeline Bi-Han wasn't evil like this.

Its a shame what they did to Bi-Han. He was a character that was honorable and capable of doing good. He was also capable of doing evil things for his clan. But ever since MK9 Bi-Han is poorly written and reduced down to "Evil mouhahaha *moustache twirling*" NRS are okay at making interesting stories and heroes, but horrible at making villains that have layers. I hope they work on that in the future.

I think Bi-Han was lying about letting his father die. The loss still possibly affected him and could be the reason behind his cold nature. He probably just told Kuai Liang this to soften the blow for his betrayal to get his brother to hate him and also he was embarrassed that he was too weak to save their father.

And that ladies and gentlemen is how the Shirai Ryu is reborn in this new timeline.

Bi-Han could’ve worked as a villain if they set him up more properly. A villain that means well, but is misguided. Specifically his motivations and reasoning. Like have him start as a hero frustrated with the Lin Kuei ways and traditions maybe because of the many Lin Kuei warriors that died during their service to defend Earthrealm and the many that survived may have trauma due to the loss of their comrades and loved ones. I don’t know have his father be very hard on Bi-Han since he’s the first son and the next in line to become the Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei. I’m thinking like they received no compensation for their service to Earthrealm. Something like that. Or have Bi-Han as more of a Anti-Hero with different methods that are extreme but thought that those methods could benefit the Lin Kuei with good intentions instead of selfish and evil ones. Both ways would have worked with proper execution. This just reminds me of the character assassination of Sindel in MK11. The way Bi-Han acted reminds me of Sektor. If anything Sektor would make more sense if he was in Bi-Han’s role. I’m a fan of Scorpion, Smoke and Sub-Zero, I’m glad the writers were able to handle Scorpion and Smoke very well despite the changes of Scorpion’s identity, but how could they messed up Bi-Han?

I feel a lot of people have been wondering about why Bi-han turned evil and as a psychology student and armchair psychologist I feel the need to shed some light on why this happened I do believe that the story is very well written just because of the fact that it captures the small moments that you really should pay attention to. Bi-han is a man who fundamentally feels that everyone is against him, that no one respects him and that no one deserves sympathy for being a voice against his deepest fear that he is alone. This frustration inside bi-han was on the verge of a nuclear disaster, all it needed was an obviously evil manipulative psychopath to convice him that HE was right and that no one else really matters except him because he is the only person he can ever really trust. This then turned to rage and an unquenchable thirst for revenge,he had to show everyone HE was worthy, HE had value, HE was someone. He basically turned into a maniacal narcissist, clouded by delusions of grandeur. He is a really realistic character because this is something that happens in real life. People turn vile and evil because of their childhood. Children need to feel loved and supported and if they dont its a risk that they may turn their path towards evil. Its unlikely but they are a dog without a leash and they REQUIRE guidance. I have to admit I rushed through this story because I at first wanted to look at it from a technical standpoint, how does everything fit together, how does it work? But I really missed the human side of it, as I often do ngl😂 Awesome writing fr

Brothers scale tall wall Smoke: Cute, watch this 1:16

As much as I expected it, seeing Kuai Liang get his iconic scar again made me go crazy

Plot twist in the next game we learn through flashbacks that BiHan’s dad was an asshole that pushed him way harder due to his heir to the throne. Everyone views him as a good dude including Liang but only Bihan seen the real guy.

14:04 seeing the moment he grabs the ice popsicle with the other hand was so smooth.

It might just be me, but I have a theory that Bi-Han here will become Cyber Sub Zero given that he helps in starting the Cyber Initiative. I know it can be unlikely and that he may die and comeback as Noob again, but with him and Sektor leading the Cyber Initiative, I think it would be an interesting twist for Bi-Han to become Cyber Sub-Zero instead of Noob

damn, bi han nature never change

It's great how the Lin Kuei and Scorpion and Sub Zero were reimagined. Kuai Liang as Scorpion shows how much he shared characteristics with Hanzo in previous titles and with Smoke's ending it is revealed that a hungry boy that was taken in as one of the first disciples of the Shirai Ryu is Hanzo, NRS may very well have Bi-Han be killed and become Noob Saibot, and have the new Hanzo Hasashi to be the next Sub Zero in a very dramatic and poetic turn. Though what is somewhat plothole-y is Bi-Han's disposition. Shang Tsung and Quan Chi had their planned destinies and fate completely altered because of interference by Shang Tsung, but Bi-Han was already an angry, defiant, ambitious and quite essentially traitorous and evil character even before the influence of Shang Tsung - he was already annoyed and frustrated at the role of the Lin Kuei and Liu Kang before the events of the game; either Liu Kang oversaw and just didn't bother with making him less of what he was or Liu Kang just made Bi-Han that way and that's kinda strange. That the Lin Kuei is going to be a threat again with the Cyber Initiative and that Bi-Han is now an independant force could have entirely been avoided if Liu Kang just... decided otherwise.

This is the Scorpion/Sub-Zero story Tobias/Boon wanted to use in the original MK before abandoning the idea.

Let us all pay respects to our pal Bi Han. Bro got Sindeled

I believe Bi Han hated how the Lin Kuei defended Earthrealm, a realm divided by many governments, for centuries and gained nothing in return. After seeing his ending, it is likely he will create a nation run by the Lin Kuei with the Cyber-Lin Kuei (actual androids not repurposed human beings) to be their army. The question is if Bi Han will become the new "Vengeful Scorpion" in the form of Noob Saibot when he gets betrayed by Frost and Sektor.

This basically mirrors the old OG continuity that said that the Shirai Ryu were founded by an ancient defector of the Lin Kuei, which is why they're in an eternal blood feud

I like how bi-han can beat up shang tsung but easily lose to some jobber minions

Interestingly, Kano was the one who gave Kuai Liang (Sub Zero)the scar. During MK11. Now his brother Bi-Han (Scorpion) gave him the scar. 🤔

Bi han is basically vegeta. Even when he's on the good side, he'll do something stupid that helps the enemy because of pride. 😂

Bro Bi Han is so badass. From his rare brutal fighting style to his voice and just the way he looks just makes me respect him even after the betrayal

I was really hoping Bi Han would be a good guy this time round. D:

0:22 Bi-Han: "do i hear a b**ch talking? Cuz you sound like a b**ch right now."

imagine getting beat up by your younger brother as a revenant and then getting a whole new universe just to get beat up by your brother again. Bi-Han really got it rough out here LOL

It would have been much better writing if they'd lost on purpose to get Shang Tsung to explain his plan. It also would have been better writing not to just make Bi-Han evil for no actual reason.

I liked these brothers (three of them)! I like Bi-Han's voice! Sooo intimidating! It suits him! Truly suits him!

It’s absolutely unreal how realistic Quan Chi looks in this game sometimes…real life Ermac and definitely Noob would be absolutely terrifying tho lmao

God I wish they chose anybody but Megan Fox for Nitara. Her delivery is so flat and vacant. There's no darkness in it.

Sareena looking bomb ❤

Just a correction on the video's title. Bi Han didn't TURN EVIL. He ALWAYS HAS BEEN EVIL. Even before Shang Tsung manipulated him, he let his own father die, just to take his place as grandmaster. 😢😢😢

Love how no matter the timeline, Bi-Han is always an asshole💀

Bi-Han become evil is similar with sindel in mk11, when ed boon and the team made them to become ruthless, don't care about their family, and eviler than before (doesn't have a positive attribute like midway era)

I’ve always thought cyrax was loyal to kuai liang since he wants freedom and honor

I hear Jin Sakai when Scorpion speaks lmao

His feign attack as ice knife is awesome

This is amazing

7:20 best line in the whole game

Now we shall face the Noob

Smoke is such a homie I swear

Bi Han really needs Xanax and therapy…I’ve never seen the man calm at least one second in this game, he is always angry at Anything, everyone and everywhere

Gotta admit even though Bi Han always turns bad he is a badass in this one

I can just hear this before they climb the wall, Bi-Han : alright let’s climb. Smoke : I ain’t climbing (starts floating)

Turns out bi han is a nice guy Because he sees so much injustice

Why do I feel like Bi-Han is Sektor and Kuai is Cyrax. I see a parallel between these two pairs. Both Cyrax and Scorpion struggle between their loyalty and their judgement.

Way to destroy Bi-Han

Even chained he still knows how to fight

Smoke : Don't worry about me, take your time... *0:51*

I guess my question is, if Kuai Liang is scorpion in this timeline, who will Hanzo be?

To be honest, I was expecting Bi-Han to get his redemption in this game (something that I really wanted since he needs one), but maybe the creators showing Bi-Han's flaws and cold side is a way to properly build up his redemption and flesh out his character more, showing us his original personality before doing his redemption. Maybe in the next game, we'll see Bi-Han get it. Bi-Han (Original Sub-Zero) is the kind of the guy who may seem cold and callous, but he's by no means evil; his personality is a lot deeper than what he may seem on the outside. He's a pretty complicated and enigmatic dude.

Dang he pulled up that axe like Kratos and almost killed Shang Tsung 6:14

That music during the scorpion vs sub zero fight…iconic

I just wish they gave sub zero more nuance 😢

Question is?? How the fuck did kuai liang gain scorpions powers??

Bi han turning evil no surprise here, Even Steve wonder can see this coming

Shang tsung in this game has younger voice than original ones (aka MK 11) and suitable with him

6:19 when your about to end the war but end up losing to plot than getting clap by sone mere foot soldiers …

Bi Han always like these

i like how kuai liang get his iconic scar back

Kuai Liang starting to fit into scorpion after ts. Blud said he let they father die. Brothers or not, you can't *let* pops pass like that

Who wrote this stuff a 10 year old school boy? Since when bihan hated his brother kuai liang so much just to betray him in a split second with shang tsung ?he gets knocked out by scorp and then he is gone from the rest of the story mode wow what a complete destroy of one of the most iconic fighting game chracter of all time im not supporting this garbage

I don't really see him as "evil". I feel like its most so whatever aligns with his interest, he will do it. Cause even with his intros with Sub-Zero, even though its animosity, he still calls him brother

10:45 “Now we will achieve greatness”

Kaui Iiang being scorpion has warped my poor little lizard brain lol

Actually, Sub Zero is still Lin Kuei but he made Lin Kuei into an Evil Organization.

Its agree to make Bi Han back to noob saibot under Quan chi command or the cyber lin kuei, But kuai Liang deserve better , he couldn't have not restored him back, his heart pure evil. We see the next MK timeline, this time its won't change

Bi-Han is a mix of Vegeta and Anakin I feel like. Such a dope character.

Man, the graphics are insane

Man the creators must really hate sub.. stay trying to appease the scorpion fans.. always shitting on my boy sub smh

Imagine they finally gave us Mortal Kombat: Fire and Ice with this timeline version of Subzero and Scorpion... i wish

2:54 now was that really necessary sub zero?

I would so watch a movie with this

In MK11 you could tell the most that Shao Khan was evolving into something more reptilian. Im glad they seem to be continuing that in MK1. Kind of tells me though that there is an hourglass somewhere still undisturbed and running in the background. The writers of this damn game have opened themselves up for so much story potential, its amazing. The crossovers with the characters seem to have been something that should have already happened. Since before the crossover with like Baraka/Crock and so on. But im stoked about it. Who your favorite so far? If have to say mine is Shao Goro.... BUT ive yet to see NoobZero or Noob/anything for that matter lol
