Not gonna lie, the loud "GONG!" Stryker's baton makes is unique and satisfying.

who else wondering how the hell strikers x ray works on kenshi

Striker's baton SOUNDS like it hurts a lot.

I just realized how Liu Kangs X-ray is a reference to his MK1 fatality where he does a kartwheel and uppercuts you

10:20 Raiden.... YOU REALLY GONNA DO ME LIKE THAT, RAIDENNNN?!

It's almost impossible to judge moves in past Mortal Kombat games with how badly X spoiled us with its gore & brutality

Liu Kang’s x Ray in this game I think is a reference to his crappy mk 1 fatality

Police brutality @8:59 on a man of color

Smoke's X-ray makes me hyped everytime I see a German Suplex.

After going back to MK9 from MKX, the X-rays seem tamer than they used to. Most of the X-rays in MKX have 3 parts that just get more brutal, while these are mostly 2-part X-rays that show attacks that are generally recoverable from (with 6-10 weeks of being in a cast). Mileena's X-ray is a personal favorite with that MK2 fatality snuck in there (and her being my main).

I just love the "rate the" series

-Has 4 arms -Stomps you WHY SHEEVA WHY?

0:05 predicted crushing blows

12:47 This line about Quan Chi just about sums up your relationship with your stream chat.

I like how getting crucial bones broken doesn't stop them from fighting at all...

For some reason, I prefer the style of X-Rays in MK9 since there’s no excessive shattering of bones flying all over the place, instead it feels more contained and realistic in a sense. It all feels a bit more painful too. I dunno, I like this a whole lot more

12:40 that one kid in every class

7:12 only OG mortal kombat fans will know this reference

Thank you for giving -John Cena- Stryker 9/10.

These X-Rays might not be as brutal as those of MKX, but by God they are just as satisfying to connect in battle!

"Sub Zero. Who is going to be in Smash Brothers." The fact that there is a non-zero chance of this happening, and in fact is more possible than a lot of characters, is still messing with my head.

8:59 Police brutality at it's finest.

14:03 "Gonna give that one 5/10, kinda weak, no ass" I died

Rate the Super: Def Jam Fight for NY

Sheeva: "Why couldn't she have used her arms and break you in multiple different ways with her arms?" [Kintaro does exactly that.] Kintaro: "Ahh, kinda generic."

4:24 When you trying to kiss her but she does not like you

I remember when i was 13 years old talking to a gamestop employee with my mom as he hyped me up for mk9 by selling me on the xray part. Of course lead to me begging my mom to pre order it.

kenshi is doing the birdbox challenge.

0:34 Ed boon: *“just wait 8 more years then I’ll make that mechanic happen”* (For those of you aware: MK11 has that exact mechanic he stated where you must complete certain inputs or counters in order to execute what is now known as a krushing blow)

8:58 Police Brutality coming up!

I actually really like Scorpion's X-ray. There's beauty in simplicity.

9:07 Damn Stryker performed a POLICE BRUTALITY

7:01 it’s called a German suplex max

“Virginia Slammer”? Lol

"Literally, she just steps on you." Steve likes the sound of that.

*Man, this game has the BEST looking Kitana and Jade ever, really love the outfits.*

Honestly kabal has to have one of the best x-rays in this game in my opinion.

2:20 anyone else Realize that the start of lu kang Xray is his classic fatality.

Love this series like how honest you are and how that certain characters dont cloud your judgement

12:31 "Quan Chi, you might have something on your face." Quan Chi - "Kool-aid"

Cyrax’s X-ray has the Android 16 dunk at the and of it 😂😂

I like how most characters do ~30% and jax and kano do the most at 42% for the xray, Sonya has the most hits at 11

Sektor’s is my favorite, that sound he makes when he uppercuts the opponent is so satisfying

Ow!.. i felt that in my *_B O N E S_*

8:22 I'm surprised you didn't comment on the fact Kano's intestines were shattering like bone

Sonya's X-Ray is one of the best gameplay-wise, since a lot of people don't block the whole combo sequence in the beginning. It's the same thing that often happens with people fighting against Cassie in MKX, who also have combo as an X-Ray start up. Also, part of her X-Ray is the reference to her special move from MK3 and MK4. Some of my favorite X-Rays in MK9 are probably Sektor's and Cyrax's. I LOVE sound when Sektor charges thruster in his hand and Cyrax X-Ray just looks cool.

producer:How much fighting game do you want in your intro Maximillian:yes

Ive only recently started watching your videos but i have to say you have, by a long shot, the best intro of any youtuber i have ever watched

The stream you did on Twitch was amazing

Max: I think I need to see that one again... Baraka: Please no

So Skarlet just pulls out one of her swords but doesn't use it during her X-Ray??? 13:42

8:59 That didn’t age well 💀

Wow compare to MKX this look really soft

I have now grown to like the new intro, pretty hype honestly. Also Notification Squad!

LETS GO! damn I love that new intro.

@Max you gotta remember that XRays were never done before this game in any MK Game. Seeing them today is entirely different then when the game first released. So for example that first one with scorpion might be a 5/10 today because its already been seen probably hundreds of time and MKX improved on the XRay attacks but back then that could have easily been a 7.5 - 8.0 When things age and are seen constantly they start to lose their original impact.

"OW MY NUTS!" -Everyone that got Johnny Caged

I like the video, although I would say that for rating it always helps having a criteria, something like to rate them we base them on how good they look, how much gore they have and how true to the character they are.

Really diggin the mk9 content, good shit Max

10:22 "Raiden...You really gonna do me like that, Raiden?!"

Skarlet, Jade, Nightwolf REALLY need to return. I LOVE playing them, and they're really unique, so fun to play and fight against.

We need a rate the supers for Castlevania Judgement

I saw you on twitch and didn’t search you on KZfaq but now you’re in my recommendations lol subbed

I simply love your new opening theme, it's frigging awesome

5:01 look at Maleena the whole time

0:41 Seeing that in 2019... did Max predicted Krushing Blows?!

Bro I swear, I’d do anything to have an anime of your intro, I wish we lived in an universe where an anime like that existed 😍

The hit sounds and the change to Black and white makes these still very cool to watch. I liked them back in 2011 and I still like em now

8:58 Cop beats up black man 😂

13:18 - That feel when you like girls with humble curves and hear somebody actively bash one

9:50 It looks like the character himself sees the X-Ray and acts accordingly! I think that's what the fading is!

I like how a few of these are references to old fatalities

After Tekken 7 and SoulCal 6 and $mash Ult; counter attacks, final attacks trades, etc. MK is gonna need those Xray integrations that Max was talking about to give MK hits more impact like other games

Nobody: Maximillion: *V I R G I N A S L A P P E R*

Happy New Years MAXIMILIAN DOOD!!!

*Max sees any organ get crushed*: "Is this a spleen?"

max the supportive dad we never needed but we have kenshi: *uses the back of his sword to hit freddy* max: might want to use the front of the sword its more effective kenshi: *cuts freddy* max: there you go

12:59 *Here hold this. Whatever you do DON'T smash it into your face!*

I like how casually he drinks out of his cup while watching some get destroyed 3:46

Lol stryker said “spread em!” with the flashlight

You know you like a channel when you watch content from games you don't play. Haven't played a mortal kombat game in a very very long time but Max makes it fun to watch regardless

I just now noticed that Liu Kang's Xray is his MK1 fatality.

That Reptile eye poke makes me want Larry, Curly, and Moe to be a guest character in MK11. Three variations, man!

I love these rating videos you do. I hope one day for a "Rate the...Guidance!?" for Smash Ultimate.

Kratos's X-Ray was pretty underwhelming in the PS3 version.

At the end of Raiden's, he's all like "take a look at my THIIIIING"

OMG Thanks so Much for this Max :D

'Back slam' You wanna get into Suplex City, Max? That is not a back slam! Lmao

0:00 I need the intro's name, it's epic.

1:38... Sub-Zero... Turn around!

Love to see you do a "Rate the super" for MKX then maybe you could do a "Rate the finisher" series

nobody: smoke: *pukes with mask on*

Oh btw you should rate JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle

The x-rays in this game always felt more brutal for me

I was looking foward to this

total rate the x-rays (including all DLC) in MK9: 10: sonya 9: cyrax, noob saibot, sektor, stryker & quan chi 8: kung lao, reptile, johnny cage, shang tsung, kabal & raiden 7: sindel, ermac, mileena, smoke, jax, kano, cyber sub, kenshi, kratos (GOW) (PS3), goro & shao kahn 6: liu kang, sub zero, kitana, jade, nightwolf, baraka & kintaro 5: scorpion, skarlet, rain & freddy krueger 4: sheeva

While tamer and lame than mkx, what like about these X Ray as opposed to mkx is that the damage done during the x Ray aka the cracks on the skull stays and get even more damaged if the x ray move continues to attack the targeted part whereas in mkx, after the skull cracks, it repairs when the camera zooms out.

I never realized how, boring these X-Rays look.

i love this mans intro so much

14:59, in the X-ray he kind of adds water a bit. If you look closely, water would splash out. Also he uses water at the start. He soaks them into the air.
