This dude is sweating bullets right now. He knows that if MK1 dies, his channel dies

Give me the Krypt over Invasion any day.

Underdawg is a “copy and paste” content creator. I’ve noticed that he typically waits for pro players or other content creators to voice their opinions in videos first then he gathers information from their videos and he then produces his. He’s a poser and the true definition of shill.

Can't take TUG seriously. He is one of the kasual kommunity leaders. They don't focus on the importance of the games.

Live service games truly rotted peoples brains.

That intro right there sums it up. Not just an example of why MK1 is floundering, but why the cracks are forming in the live service model. "No one likes Invasions, but they want the free skins and Kombat Koins." Basically, "the game isn't fun, but you have to do your chores if you want your allowance." When I come back from working a 12 hour shift, the LAST THING I want to do is more "work."

Typical NRS shill who wants to damage control. I can't believe he blamed the players??? bruh 💀💀💀💀

I used to be subscribed to this guy, but In time, i grew to dislike his takes and unsubbed long ago.

I'm glad other content creators are starting to call out Trueunderdawgs because he's becoming unbearable. He went from credible MK content creator to shill til death do us part and he's information imparts geez. Mike Hollow reacting to Trueunderdawgs MK1 vs Tekken 8 video was the final nail in the coffin for me.

that guys videos are fucking horrible the Tekken vs. MK1 video gave me gas

Why would someone come back to play a game that has a character like scorpion with 3 moves and a few specials over the freedom that tekken characters gives you

He enunciates words like... a robot or sumthin 💀

T8 and SF6 are better games than MK1, simple as that, no need for excuses.

I don’t personally enjoy underdogs content… I’ll leave it at that

The game is simply broken on a fundamental level. the foundation of the gameplay is the problem, it feels like NRS never tries to learn any lessons from their previous game

As a more casual player, one of my biggest issues with mk is not having movesets carry over. Im not saying don't change moves up but the complete wipe they do every game is getting annoying. With tekken or SF I feel my progress growing with each instalment. Mk it feel like I'm back at square 1. Ignoring the other issues for this game, I think changing this will keep people more loyal to the franchise.

It’s going to be a such a slow crawl to the finish line for MK1. Such a mess man.

😂 I die when Tom said there is no possible way he could read every single comment

I would just say that TEKKEN 8 showed the FGC what a complete game on launch looks like. They also showed it's possible to regularly communicate with your fan base. MK fans just woke to the realization that they were in an abusive relationship and walked away. I would say R.I.P NRS, but instead I'll say get F***ed. I'll never buy another NRS or WB game ever again.

Didn’t even buy the game. Glad to see I’m not missing much

His day job is fluffing Ed boon

His T8 vs MK1 video made me suffer ED for days.

Mkx felt like an upgraded mk9. After that everything went to shit. They need the Mkx formula and tangent off that.

We the FANS yelled a Shaolin Monk's style open world Conquest mode and krypt mk11 style! But instead we got Invasions the biggest pile of crap ever! Stupidly repetitive and becomes boring fast! For the amount of Grinding required for the rewards on offer is Not worth the effort period! Underdoug needs a guide dog because he's blind as a bat! Mk1 is Trash! Underdoug biggest dooshbag ever!

I love how he can talk about how even HE doesn't like their game modes, then turns around in the same sentence and questions what made people leave.

I do not need constant content in order to be happy. Look at MK9 I wasn’t even expecting DLC for that game and even for the little bit that came out I played that game right up to its death and it’s because it was fun

Dying? It’s already dead. There was such little heart put into MK1.

TrulyUndertheinfluenceButtonmashing wouldn't even digest the truth if it was served with Nana's Saturday morning lemonade.

I don't know who is more insufferable: TrueUnderFraud or Aquashill.

Worst thing about invasion is there's no friggin map. After I was done playing the first time, I just forgot where was my last point of progress. And that was in season 1, after playing for THREE HOURS STRAIGHT. it bores me so much, having to fight virtual characters over and over for a drop for recolored skins. And when you want to come back to have no indication of where you left off. Coupled with acknowledgement that the path ahead is gonna be a damn chore. The also very bad problem mk1 has was my grip since day 1: characters being so bland they don't stand by themselves. Scorpion literally having 4 strings made me wanna kill myself, coupled with the lacking, meaningless balance updates. Kameos were an interesting yet risky concept to me but its very apparent now their only fonctionnality is restraining the completeness of each character. And btw when your character is trash but you still enjoy playing them you look forward to devs doing something (Scorpion suffer from the "all my attacks are high and half of them are useful" syndrome and i fuc**ng hate it. Since mk11 i'ts been normal to me that a majority characters have reliable options and diversity. Low attacks and overheads are completely absent from Scorpion. His change of personality with sub zero in this timeline is not emphasized enough and make no friggin difference to the average player, expect give them more confusion. Is this scorpion the real scorpion or is scorpion sub zero? Where is hanzo hasashi? And don't get me started about only the player 1 being able to decide of the map, everything here is so wrong to my eyes, and to remember i preordered the ultimate edition on ps5, which i now wanna sell with my tv because i switched to pc and have nothing left to do on console, this is baffling. I'm telling y'all, when peacemaker comes out, i ain't gonna try him. I'M BORED, BORED!!!!

Also Trueunderdawg is one of the most frustratingly annoying youtubers I've ever witnessed... the exaggerated hand gestures and constant panning to his insufferable mug... ugh... can't even stomach 1 video of his

there was a theory I saw a while back that said MK1 and the Kameo system was supposed to be Injustice 3 with a sidekick system and I'm starting to think that was true lol.

True underdawg just be yappin with no remorse sometimes 😂

They need to go back thier roots, creepy atmosphere, ominous music, cool unlocks, dont get me wrong, the story mode is cool and all but its basically a movie with gaming in between, you pretty much one or two playthrough and done wth it.

Is he sitting on a trampoline?

They should of just gave us konquest

MK fans will be dissappointed with that patch. no matter what NRS will be able to add to it in such a short time. it took them 3-4 years to release MK1. what do people expect them to achieve in 3-4 months?

I hope NRS listens to Kung Lao and "learn from this."

Invasions is so LAZY . Who thought this was a good idea?

TrueUnderdog is a clown... Tom, you shouldn't give him a spotlight.

I feel like he's not being honest and being clickbait for his videos.

Invasions just shows NRS's stupid method of starting from scratch with every game. They could've built on the Krypt, but instead made a completely new mode that's inferior to it. Just incompetent

Konquest and Motor Kombat asap

That shit is hella dead

NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT INVASIONS, I’m so glad everyone agrees they made one of if not the most boring side games in fighting games history. It’s so boring haven’t touched it since first week release krypt would’ve been so cool especially in this new era.

I cant belive anyone would want to stay subbed to TUG after all this time. I swear he used to have solid content, but those days have been long gone.

NRS pulled the okie dope by releasing a rushed product and slapping a live service model to make the game pretty. People want a solid game that is balanced and fun, and it's not filled with bugs. We want a complete game, not an incomplete live service experience that a good game is piece meal to us. A lot more of transparency from the Devs would be nice, too.

Bro if you’re over the age of 15 playing invasions daily, you need to really go outside and find a life.That sht is a waste of wasting time 😅💯… and if you think one dlc character gonna save this game you’re crazy.Kameos need to be removed,the characters need better designs,the graphics look like a Saturday morning cartoon,and a ton of online modes need to be added all at once instead of drip feeding everything to everyone...Yall are stuck with this shtty game until mk 2.Have fun grinding for color palettes and paying $10 for throwback skins for characters they designed bland and boring on purpose so you’ll buy the skins.👍🏾

He should rename his channel to TrueMKshill

I like invasions but will admit its just because of leveling up characters and unlocking skins, which NRS keeps nerfing every method to speed through doing this so its almost like a huge middle finger.

Could’ve done konquest. Or hear me out, bring back kart racing, chess and puzzle kombat. I would grind the hell out of those just for joins and other stuff.

Please keep the videos coming!!! Your context is amazing!!

I do understand what he means in regards to invasions. I absolutely HATE invasions but I still do it for the unlocks and all. In the current season, I completed the invasions mode and once I reached the rank I wanted and unlocked the rank rewards I wanted, I stopped playing. I will start playing again when the next season starts and trudge through the muck that is invasions then play ranked until I reach the rank I want. Hopefully the rewards for the ranks are better and, if so, I'll play as long as it takes to reach those ranks.

TUD is uniting the NRS community by becoming the biggest villain ever lol

His MK1 vs T8 game while his own opinion….um…still has ZERO objectivity. Maybe the reason the MK Players dont stick around is because WB games treats MK as a quick cash-in

I’m definitely someone in the camp of playing Invasions all the time despite hating it, the reason he doesn’t know anyone is because all of us are ashamed of it. Though I don’t think the season 4/Peacemaker delay was a reason for anything, hell I’m more afraid of season 4 not having any farming methods for character mastery.

I remember back in MKX days UnderDawg was actually making some interesting videos with a lot of effort put into them but since MK11 he turned into this weird clout fiend, putting comments on random videos just to get attention, putting out bullshit videos just to cover a topic as fast as possible so he gets the views, and of course absolute garbage takes.

Underdawg is a chill and I can’t stand to listen to him, even dynasty has turned over a new leaf on nrs

Glad I saved my money. MK11 was too shitty to consider this to have a modicum of potential

Why does TUD talk like a older version of AI? He also sounds like he records himself and then overdubs his own voice.

I never thought about it till you mentioned that MK just redesigns constantly. Compare to tekken where I was a top player in the 3/tag days and I come back and play casually 5 DR and tag 2 and I'm competitive against good players. Because there are only slight changes to the system so I can pick up and get by with a character. I may not be optimal and I'll get murdered by new moves but I can pick up and play. Every MK game I have to learn from scratch and usually don't bother.

Idk if he works for nrs but I can’t get the image of Ed boon walking in this mfs room like darth Vader outta my head “you’ve done well my son” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Just came to see all the comments on his Tekken vs MK1 video

Your break down reaction videos are good…this one and the max reaction sparks a lot of thought and discussion…keep them coming

MK1 is the worst mk ever. For real.

I saw this downfall coming months before release. The biggest mistake NRS made was sandwiching MK1 between SF6 and T8. I knew MK1 was gonna finally get exposed how mediocre MK really is. This might take several MK games to recover from. I’m predicting Tekken will king for at least 1 or 2 more installments while SF coming in 2nd possibly 1st if SF7 is amazing in every way.

I'm not loyal to NRS game anymore because I have to constantly relearn my favorite characters movesets every time they show up in a new MK game. Thanks Tom for vocalizing that fact in other videos, something that's always bothered me but I didn't know it bothered other people too. MK is so cool tho, shame it turned out this way for me.

Thank you Tom for having the courage and the patience for laying out these issues just like they are

2:51 perfectly timed pause there tom, you can see how hard hes trying to like MK1

i really wish our communities biggest content creators were actually educated on their games and the community

Has anyone ever seen Trueunderdawg actually play the game online? All his videos are practice mode and combo demonstrations. Has he ever entered a tournament? He is the only fighting game youtuber that I have never seen actually play the game online.

Making combo breakers 2 bars instead of all 3 bars would be a step in the right direction imo..

Ed is alive, although I think it's just a bot posting the PissMaker teaser 😂

He’s the king of click bait 😂

I absolutely play Invasions out of chore, not because I like it but for unlocks.

I think, it's obvious now things got to the sad point when true MK fan just shouldn't give NRS and WB any money. Because it's never good idea to support someone who treats own fanbase like sh*t

For me, one of the MANY reasons this game got old for me is I’m just not interested in learning to play majority of the main cast. Learning new characters was a lot of the fun but i couldn’t be bothered for some reason in this game. All the characters I want to play are stuck as stupid kameos. And the only dlc characters I’m interested in are the mk characters, enough with the guest characters or at least don’t make them half the dlc.

Always a fan of your honest takes and explanations. I don't play MK but I do like to watch and learn about it... I'm recently trying to make SF work with a leverless pad, so that is actually coming along...

Giving every character 10 new moves and forcing them into some kind of identity would be a start. That way at least the gameplay would be interesting and every character wouldn't benefit from running the same kameos. And drastically increase the power of the characters

That Kazuya jumpscare even if it wasn’t intentional is fitting. Also this underdawg guy sounds like Doug Walker from nostalgia critic wth.

Trueunderdawg is the Chris Stuckmann of video games.

i lost hope of them changing anything after mk11

To add more to your sf6 point, every character they release adds content to world tour mode. So not just a stage and a character but more content for the fun world tour mode

Honestly tom u deserve so much more appreciation for what you. Man you hit every video spot on and talk facts everytime Keep it up man u amazing💯❤️

This is the same dude that made an Eliza character guide for tekken 7 and called a -12 move "pretty safe". What would you expect tom? 😅

You’re being fair because you have knowledge. So it’s always good to learn 🎉☺️😁💯

Watching Kombat kasts through the years leading up to new games or characters they have always over emphasized “easy to use” mechanics or features. It’s obvious who they pander to and have no intention making a truly deep game worth fleshing out.

Whoever thought Invasion mode was a good idea over the krypt needs to be fired imo

True under shill

I love your Videos so much Tom its like you really speak out for us all

Stuff that bother me among everything else, is how after all the updates the audio issues never been fixed audio cutting out mid game and even the frame issues where the game laggs so bad and frame drops mid game make me fight in slow motion. Also still leggy matches which compared first 2 seasons I hardly had lagg issues

Advocating for little short term compulsions to draw people in, such as living towers or little superficial events is wild. They unironically need to rebalance most of the roster, and take heavy inspiration from Smoke(Video on my channel btw). I think hes one of the few characters that can take full advantage of the kameo system.

I'm one of the people he was describing in the first section. I hate invasions, it's a horrible slog but I grind through it for the skins. My playtime has majorly dropped off since I finished the season. I'm sure there are many more people like myself.

Cameos are the reason I didn’t purchase MK1

This guy really tried to blame it on the players. By the first month of MK1, I'd already figured out several characters and kameos and felt there was nothing left to explore with those characters. In contrast, at this point in Tekken, I haven't even figured out the full move list and how to use it on the one character I'm trying to play. Dude is...a special kind of shill.

10:42 that “so” felt fucking personal 😂💀💀😂

MK1 is not dead and will thrive for at least 2-3 years ahead like it happened with MK11 which I also liked a lot but this game has more depth to the gameplay!

Trueundershill never ceases to amaze me smh

Excellent commentary and observation! Keep up the great vids!

Completely fair. Thank you for the video, I subbed
