OK so Sheeva is kinda good now but remember this video was made before ultimate came out LOL

Just noticed, she’s like the only character to have ALL her klassic moves in every game she’s in.

Ahhhh yea just ordered a pizza and got a new MK competitive history! It's a good day!

Sheeva got done dirty in mk11,Sindel betrayed her,despite trying to protect her for centuries

I’m still surprised he’s stayed away from characters like Johnny, scorpion, raiden. But I’m glad he’s going for less popular characters

Mortal Kombat Trilogy was the first fighting game I ever played in my young life & it remains my favorite today. I’ll never forget how cheap it felt being a literal toddler and having my own father relentlessly perform Sheeva’s dragon drop on my poor defenseless cyber ninja. Neither him nor sheeva had a single care encouraging me to “git gud” from the very start. Thanks sheeva & thanks dad

I remember seeing Jeremiah use sheeva for the first time and doing well. I always rooted for him. There’s was only so much he could do with mk9s sheeva though. Glad you mentioned him.

If Goro has 2 chests, then why doesn't she have 4.. you know what nevermind

The tournament used for the final clip was the MK11 Open Series that Playstation run on their Twitch/KZfaq channel. Make sure you check them out EVERY tuesday for both EU and NA MK11 action with Mustard and myself.

I'd be down to see a Competitive History of Nightwolf, Tanya or Bo'Rai Cho. Maybe even one for the Joker, seeing as he's technically been in two MK games; maybe you can even fit in his Injustice appearances as well.

Oh Sheeva the queen of skrub-killing. One of my all time favorite casual run characters when i wanna just play mk especially in mk9 because her combos just were so easy and damaging. I always wished they fixed her hitbox problems in that game. :/

Sheeva's 2nd variation, Deadly Dragon, is about plus frames. She has a special that can be hit confirmed to guarantee a followup a hit/throw mixup off of every touch. It's not a combo variation. Both V1 and V3 hit higher damage combos, so it'd be silly for V2 to be a combo variation.

I don't like how they made sheeva look in mk11. the part I can't really articulate well is the hair, I changed it immediately because I don't like her base hair but I really don't know what they did with it. the part I can articulate is that they gave her much softer facial features and to me that doesn't really look like Shiva, in previous games her face looked feminine but strong.

Is it just me or MKA's Sheeva looks really good design-wise compared to like every other MK game ?

Armageddon Sheeva's HTH probably had the boss block animation as an incidental carryover from it being one of Goro's HTH styles in the PSP & Gamecube ports of Deception

I always liked Sheeva and I'm so glad you guys covered her! I've always enjoyed seeing people highlight characters that are outside the KZfaq and "competitive meta". I think a good fix for Sheeva in MK9 would have been a damage buff and making her grabs unlockable that may have changed things for her.

Sheeva is my absolute favorite MK character. It makes me so happy to see her thrive in 11.

I told this story in the MKT meta video but back in my childhood i'd visit family in dominican republic every summer. And in DR there are gaming club/cafe where you can pay to play their large library of video games. Here me and my cousins would play MKT on N64. One day we were just playing 3v3 as per usual and i found sheeva's c.high kick infinite and it pissed my cousin off real good

Trilogy is my favorite MK entry, followed by 9. I only played the 64 version so this explains why I had such a fun time with her buttons.

Ketchup & Mustard, I just want say a big thank you for the amazing content you guys put hours in, and we get to consume for free. Informative, well narrated, good editing and an overall very enjoyable video to watch yet again!

I love this series so much! Keep up the amazing work, brother! It would be awesome to see one on Smoke one day

I'm so glad this series is back man. I always enjoy these videos

FATALITY: Death by Snu-snu

I can’t get enough of your channel. Absolutely love it. Thanks for all the content!

I remember skipping class in high school and going to the local Time Zone and playing the original MK, MK2 and UMK3. I loved it then and I’m still enjoying it all these years later.

Just got done rewatching this entire series! So well done! I think diving into the competitive history of Frost would be amazing! Maybe a video going over guest characters and their viability? Either way I'm stoked for more

You put out such great content keep it up amazing work

Good stuff! However, Sheeva can "escape" the corner trap in UMK3 by buffer the teleport stomp while blocking. This will make a juggle i.e. pushback the player who does the corner pressure. In some scenarios, she can even do the Teleport through the jabs in corner!

I love these videos, thank you so much for all the effort you put in

One of the arcades at Metrotown in Vancouver/Burnaby BC, Canada was fortunate enough to get the early builds of MKIII. In the second build of the game, Sheeva was broken. Her Tele-Stomp effectively infinited, and it was really hard to avoid because it's startup was so good. Once I (for fun) beat the game with her by just flicking the joystick non-stop, so she just stomped all the way through the entire game. Including over Motoro and Shao Khan. Took no damage. That build didn't last long, though. By the next weekend it was updated. Good thing, because she effectively made 1v1 unplayable if anybody picked her. I wouldn't be surprised if this wound up being why she was made so bad. It's possible they just could not balance her. I think I managed to play all the early builds of this game. A 7-11 not far from my mother's also got an early MK2 build. Vancouver seemed to get a lot of sweet arcade stuff. This version of MK2 had Sub Zero able to do the freeze portion of his Freeze and Shatter fatality during a match. It was unblockable and you didn't defrost. If you had the life lead, you just won. I understand live testing games; but a few of these things I am surprised even made it into any live build at all. How do you not catch these in quality control?

Your videos are soo good! Please keep making

amazingly entertaining video. thanks for making it

3:00 UMK3+ sighting 🙃😍

Sheeva is freaking amazing in MK11 😆 I played her a bit in MK9 and she was pretty fun there

Love these videos My dudes !! 🙏🏻

Man I miss those days when the announcer would question "friendship?" Please nrs one more patch just to include that!

Great content ketchup. First introduced to you watching QC tournaments. Glad to see you have so many other interests!

Amazing video!

So happy that they gave her her due in Mk 11. Always knew the character had potential if she could just step out of Goros shadow.

So I have a question. In the SNES, there was a cheat/glitch to play with an invisible Sheeva in UMK3. Obviously she wasn't used in competitive play, since she could even glitch the game, but it got me thinking... if that wasn't the case, do you think she'll be viable? Would be completely invisible at all times save her?

Great series indeed, thanks! Does Sindel Competitive History have a potential future release? That woulbe fun! Cheers

Great vid Fun facts. On the SNES version of UMK3 she was removed from the rooster; but she wasn't totally deleted, allowing a lot of bugs. In MK3 on SNES, her friendship wasn't programmed properly, and cant be performed.

I am so thankful for this video. She means so much to me

Thank you for yet another amazing video. You guys rule.

17:18 Robocop lookin like Daredevil from the Netflix show

Love this series!

7:12 looking like a spider

Hey man, that stomp in MK3 was the most broken move in the world when I was 5 years old.

Even though Sheeva was bad in MK9 she was always my go to pick as a kid since she could really cheat the AI in ladder

I actually really grew to like her in mk9 and started to mess around with her in the older games. great vid.

5:54 looks pretty high tier to me 😵‍💫🫣😍

Great video as always but...You have a terminator clip from the movie in your competitive history playlist lol (that mistake happends to me a lot too and idk HOW haha) and the sheeva video isn't listed there also. Just trying to help and again great video bro!

I remember one time at a MK3 arcade where 2 guys where playing against each other only using sheevas umblockable stomps, it was soo stupid and they had like a lot of arcade coins soo even after i and other kids defeated then easily they just keep doing that, that day those guys made most kids leave or play another machine (since MK3 was the most wanted at the time)

I'm hoping for Baraka or Kabal next up :D You guys have been making so much stellar content lately! 2020 needed stuff like this. Keep up the great work Ketchup! ❤️

sheeva does rlly well on the ai matches in mk11 for me at least with the build im using

Do the competitive history of Retile, the cyber ninjas, and Quan Chi

Sheeva would often dominate in casual games.

Her mk11 f443 string looks so similar to the umk3 hk hk lk bhk Great call back from NRS!!!

I still think her mk Armageddon default costume is her best look.

I would LOVE to see a competitive history of Baraka! Nightwolf wouldn’t be bad either lol.

What puzzles me the most is both Goro and Sheeva had the tele-stomp in Armageddon, but the inventor of the Tele stomp, Kintaro, didn't have it in armageddon.

That MK9 set was really cool to watch. Would love if you referenced real footage after character analysis more. Especially for MK9 and up.

I know it's probably never gonna happen anytime soon. But my favorite MK Kharacter is always gonna be Kabal... I honestly can't think of a single game where Kabal has ever been bad

I miss mohawk and slim chin sheeva

Perhaps Sheeva could use some more kicking moves. It would be interesting to see what you could do with 4 arms & two legs.

She is on my auto-pick when UMK3 came out. She is my go to pick at arcades and tournaments. Even though my favorite character is Shang Tsung, Sheeva will be my warrior queen at actual Vs modes. Picked her up quickly too. The highest combo I ever made with her at the arcade was 8 to 10 hits... not bad for someone who never played with joy-sticks before. Using SNES controller I reached 13 hits most of the time and 17 hits at so-so. I would love to see how I am with Sheeva in the MK11 game. She looks so awesome and radical in that game. Love the many style they gave her, but still retains all of her classic moves too. 😎👍

Mk Armageddon sheeva was just pretty hot not gonna lie. ✋😗✋

I love mixups as a spectator, Sheeva's a blast currently.

I remember when I was a kid, playing UMK3, and when I wasn't using cyber Smoke, I would pick Sheeva against certain players or characters and all I really knew how to do was stomp, ground pound, and 7 hit canned combo. That's pretty much all you needed at the arcade against the average player.

I can't wait to see what characters you cover next in this series. (I personally would like to see the joker covered at some point even though he isn't really an MK character)

Sheeva was the best MK3 character because she's the only character I could beat Motaro with

Rain and Milena will be super interesting, both have such a varied history

No wonder I've always thought Shiva was super good by default. The first time I saw and played against her as a kid was in 9

AMAZING KOMBO! 18:09

OMG WHAT A SUPRISE SUNDAY NIGHT!!!

Competitive History of Sindel!!!

I def would climb on top of that like a spider monkey

Sheeva is fun to use

I know she got two pretty big nerfs in the newest game, if you know what I'm talking about

Would love a video for Reptile!

Nice video. I give it 4 thumbs up.

Treat of a video! Thank ya

Sheeva looks so wimpy in MK11. Like some emo punk instead of a regal badass.

Thx for covering my waifu kombat senpai

I really thought you were going to go right through mk9 Sheeva without mentioning GGA Jeremiah but of course you didn't what was I thinking hah

Can you do competitive reptile or ermac soon?

is the footage of MK 9 from PC?? looks great

U should do Sindel next she got a major upgrade gameplay wise in MK11 🙃

Does anyone know why the N64 port of MK3 had different frame data compared to other versions of that game?

I’ll never understand why they changed the faces in 11. Like, what was the point?

i am absolutely loving these videos but tbh i do hope he gets to the more popular characters. Lovin the more obscure ones, but it would be nice to have an mk1 or mk2 character.

sheeva mk9 outfit gives me impure thoughts

Good video, but why's Ermac gotta be the training dummy?

Are there still MK3 and Armageddon scenes? Didn't realize I'd be so interested in seeing what level players are at now with them

MK Armageddon and 9 had the best females

Looking at what we got on MK3, I'd say the initial idea for Sheeva was having a high risk/high reward character, easy to hit but that you don't wanna get close to... a Zangief, but without the grappling part (though her grab was good i don't feel it counts)

Love Sheeva her and Sindel are Good Guys now love them both 🙂💯👍🏾

Damn loved using Sheeva, or characters who aren’t as popular now Bio and Sonic giving her all the exposure, oh well I use V2 anyways

You seem to talk a lot about Mortal Kombat Armageddon in this series. And i was wondering if you could make video about most op custom character possible.

I to this day like to go back and watch Jeremiah and Oscar Broly play Sheeva in MK9, as bad as she is in this game i absolutely LOVE playing her XD
