@@finnmarr-heenan2397fym, MKX was massive.

But MK was always bad as a competitive fg. It's just that the game started being taken too seriously, probably because of the american bias from the Evo founders and organizers. It's a "lower class" fg in terms of gameplay substance, that deserves to be seen in a tier below all serious competitive fgs. But that will never happen because the american side of the fgc has a big influence on the whole fg culture and even people who are not big fans of MK will not disrespect it, because it's their country's fg after all and it's a really successful product in sales.

At CEO which is the tournament I went to for Smash Ultimate, it was being beaten out by Mario Kart and Brawlhalla. It's honestly kind of crazy how far MK1 has fallen

@@Ultima64 There is a lot of different factors that's put MK where it is today but I'll say trying to sell on a violence alone has caught up to MK by neglecting to lock down a gameplay identity instead of gimmick of the week. Like who is this even for when you arbitrarily change stuff like the input for Scorpion spear every game. It's not unique. It's not making the game better and only serves to piss people off especially the casual Joe who grew up back in the day and just wants to mash around on a new MK.

To be fair, Sony bought Evo. So there's gonna be preference for Japanese games

@@Winterfanghow does sony buying evo affects the mk1 downfall?

How big is Strive in comparison to SF and Tekken though? I don't know much about GG's overall scope.

GG needs another decade or so, and I would argue it's still not as mainstream as Tekken or SF rn

@@RealMikeHollow Strive is very solidly the 3rd most populated fighting game. It's much bigger than Xrd was, for sure, and it's by far the biggest anime game.

@@alanreeves9872 The thing is that it's a very recent breakthrough for GG, that until then was an extremely small franchise. So even though you are correct on that info (and you could have mentioned a huge achievement that is GG getting 4 dlc seasons, which only ever happened to SF and TK in this whole world of fgs), that recent great performance doesnt seem to be enough to convince the community collectively to start treating GG that way... since SF and TK are huge since the 90s. Actually that's a reasonable attitude.

yeah, its sad, mk11 have the same or more players activity as mk1, sad

Mortal Kombat was always a gonna be a novelty product. Even at his best moment, when 2 hit arcades, it never had more players than other more established FG IPs. By the time 4 came out they were gasping at straws. If it wasn't for the revival that 9 caused MK would've been a relic of the past only milenials cared about.

​@@remarkableputter6622 balance is not the factor that decides a game success on competitive. Just look at 3rd strike, its filles of Chun-li and Yun, we can even argue that is even more broken than MK1 but still has a lot of attendants. Facts are facts

Kof has never been big in the US so it make sense.

@@remarkableputter6622 What is "well balanced"? Because whenever i check each different communities there are debates about balance issues in their games. Especially in the first 2 years. But a longer life with constant updates wont 100% guarantee the best balance either. Like, if you are willing to skim over the early history of every game (or just look up since the ps4 gen to be bearable research) you will find those balance issues, sometimes horrible issues even. There was bad balance in the early 1990s and there is bad balance in the 2020s in the launch version of ALL games. So the problems of KOF are not related to balance at all because it's a shared problem.

the amount of excuses MK fans come up with to cope at the fact that the game is dying is hilarious 🤣

@@DieHard1912 not true. MK is not officially banned it just can't be sold there due to the Japanese rating system. They did introduce their own AO rating equivalent later on and MK can be sold there under that rating (only the PC version though) but WB Games just don't want to bother due to the franchise's lack of popularity there.

Mortal Kombat being banned due to its violent content would be ironic as hell, seeing as how a game like Resident Evil known for its horror, graphic and violent content came out of Japan.

Strive fans don't even play strive 😂

Honestly, THIS. I started with NRS games and it felt fine. I played SF6 and Tekken 8 and when I go back to MK1 the inputs for buttons and specials feels...off, like I have to manually time everything in a combo (except for the dial-in strings). Also, the constant changing of inputs for moves is really annoying. Like, a character from one game to the next can have completely different move lists apart from a few special moves. I want to have some consistent buttons and inputs please😭

Real. The way that characters are completely changed every single game is actually so frustrating. When I was mainly an nrs player I thought it was fine but switching over to mainly anime games has made me realize how shity it is.

what does it mean by proper buffer for string?

@@ghhdgjjfjjggj Might be talking about the "dial-a-combos" where you have to put in the entire strings in quick successions or they just won't come out

Don't understand why they keep changing the move sets. I took my niece and nephew to CEO and when they saw Mileena in top 8 they were expecting some command throws. Unfortunately she doesn't have one any more. Part of what I love about Tekken is that all the moves I learned way back in Tekken 2 still work. Sure, Paul has new stuff, my old combos STILL work. it helps when picking up sequels that I don't have to completely relearn the character to have some fun.

It's either because they want to stay in NRS good graces or they're very young and feel the need to protect it. I remember in school when we had the PS3 Vs Xbox 360 wars and we would proper defend PS3 against Xbox like they paid us 😂 I can only assume the people doing this are very young or wanting to be buddy buddy with NRS cos they're just lying and making excuses.

@@RealMikeHollow that’s tragic because if they are content creators trying to grow their channels you would think that they would want their game to be better and not painful to watch or play so their channels can continue to grow no? I do see what you are saying however with the buddy system with NRS.

​@@RealMikeHollow or maybe some people actually enjoy playing it ? I mean, so many mid games gain a decent following even years after they release, like fallout 76 for example is still played by a good amount of players despite it's horrible launch, so it's really not that surprising that a game like MK1 has a dedicated playerbase despite it's flaws. I mean, that's kinda why the category "it's so bad it's good" exists. Some people just don't care about the overall quality or reputation of a game and simply cares about having a good time, doesn't have anything to do with age or staying in NRS good graces. That's my opinion tho, feel free to ignore, I'm just a random who got recommended this video for some reason 🤷‍♂️

@@star-rock6466 Thats Admirable, and its not like MK is Horrible, just Meh, Not somthing id play tho, only play games rarley

This has potential to be interesting and heartfelt. Mind explaining how you think MKX, 11 and 1 veered off the course? I don't mind wall of texts...

Keep crying lmaooo

@hotcoldman77 Be condescending all you want, it's not going to save your games abysmal numbers.

@ChrisX_212 Sure thing. I will give a more condensed version (very funny coming from me as you will soon see) because I am at work right now so I apologize for lack of more in depth details because trust me I have more to say on a lot of this. With MKX it wasn't really any problems with the gameplay. More just the graphics, lighting, some of the character designs and models. I could tell it was retreading MK4's story but tonally it just felt off. Having the story focus hard on the Cage family felt kinda weird and awkward; highlighted their weaknesses as writers. A lot of the fatalities and gore had some awkward presentation such as Kung Lao's fatalities or the X-Ray moves generally not having any bone breaks occurring within the arms or legs. Stuff like that. MKX, I would argue, was still a great game, they just missed the mark on presentation. MK11 was where those little nags about MKX's story came to fruition and a lot of the storytelling just had bad pacing, focus and direction. New characters were introduced that were pretty unlikable, there it continued the trend of killing off characters just to try and create shock value, then immediately invalidated that by having the whole universe reset, many story beats just weren't landing, etc. The currencies were a big problem and the grind for things like Hearts at the beginning of the game utterly crippled my interest in continuing to play and having AI farm them for me just disengaged me from the gameplay itself. The meta was obnoxiously projectile focused, a growing issue with the games and something I first began noticing with Injustice 1 so I wasn't really having fun online either. The DLC was cool but short sighted, contributing to that projectile issue. Changes to characters like my man Scorpion weren't appreciated and I was beginning to become frustrated with how the games never had consistent movesets between games unlike the PS2 and original trilogies. Fan favorite characters were missing. Redesigns such as Sheeva or the classic ninja girls obviously had DEI influence (this was a thing even back then, it was just more covert) and I had a pretty bad taste in my mouth after the dev's response to fans was to call us perverted creeps for thinking the designs weren't outdated AKA the whole "bikini" thing was predicated on this stupid idea that the women were being sexualized when in reality everyone from old Outworld and Edenia generally wore little clothing and exposed a lot of skin, men included (Goro, Reiko, Shao Kahn, etc) so anyone who just liked those costumes due to familiarity or because of immersive reasons just got insulted for no good reason. The Krypt was a good concept on paper ruined by grinding and needless scavenger hunts. Still no minigames, proper Conquest Mode, or Character Creator even though this game was evoking the PS2 era games. The game was following the trend of "free super moves" which turned the latter half of every round into a slow paced "will they/won't they" scenario which affected tournament play as well. The Gear System which they carried over from Injustice 2 was very unwelcome in my opinion and I didn't like the act of having to pick and choose between my favorite iconic moves.. just.. I disliked a LOT of things about MK11. I even had a problem with the Fatalities just because where games before MKX were a healthy mixed of "Funny", "Stylish" and "Grossout" Fatalities the ones in MK11 were by and large mostly in the Grossout category. They simply were pushing it for the sake of pushing it. I wanted less Fatalities like the Geras "Wall Rip" and mote Fatalities like Scorpion's "Chain Bisection". And most of those criticisms carried straight over into MK1. In fact, the most insulting part about MK1 is the fact that it was Netherrealm's chance to MAKE AMENDS with the fans they turned off with MK11. But while the story started out okay, it quickly dissolved into a complete mess with many retcons and rewrites that I fundamentally disagree with. Just one example, but Mileena's whole character even existing made no sense anymore, then "Tarkat" being a disease now which she is inflicted with and can pretty much randomly control at will by the end of the story making prior self control arcs pointless and her whole princess subplot ultimately amounting to nothing, I thought they did Mileena INCREDIBLY dirty in their attempts to rewrite her. Of course, there is Shao Kahn too; once a genuine menace and actual evil mastermind with the added factor of being hideously strong now reduced to someone who can get canned by any regular cast member and no longer even retains the name of Shao Kahn. I could level similar criticisms about a lot of characters from the last two games in fact, Kotal Kahn ironically being another character done CONSISTENTLY dirty. Meanwhile, the story had the gall to evoke Armageddon directly but still didn't have ANY of the elements from MK Armageddon that people loved, SUCH AS CONQUEST AND CHARACTER CREATOR (I am not going to count Invasion Mode. Let's be real, everyone hates it). And what really drove this particular nail in the coffin for me was the fact that Street Fighter 6... F---ing STREET FIGHTER did a better job at capturing those modes than Mortal Kombat did. I have a lot more to say, but it's honestly hard to REMEMBER it all. I'm definitely not saying games like the PS2 era titles were perfect, but what I am saying is that these newer games miss the heart and soul of what made people from the 90's and 2000's fall in love with this franchise; the atmosphere, the music, the world, the character designs... ALL OF IT is gone at this point. When you actually stop and LOOK at MK1... I mean, imagine showing this game to someone from those eras. It doesn't even look like the same game. Would they recognize it? Personally, I don't think they would. The reason I have hated these last two games so much is because they don't feel at all like Mortal Kombat games tonally or otherwise. They feel like a Mortal Kombat spinoff franchise or fan fic. If you really want to understand what I am talking about, I recommend playing Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks and just absorbing the world of that game, because it is everything these games are missing. It isn't a fighting game, but it encapsulates everything I wish they would bring back.

@@Impalingthorn What abysmal numbers? EVO numbers? An event for the niche anime weaboo geeks? HAHAHHAHA! Keep deceiving yourself like MK was going to be any important in this event smh

Most fighting games have some optional game modes, like tekken bowl, or tekken ball, but you no need to play it, if you don't like it. But in MK, devs closed game content behind crypt, and if you want unlock fatalities, poses, brutality etc, you Must play in crypt and spent your time, which you can spent just playing in regular fights. And if you only want to play 1vs1, and have a uncutted game (with all fat/brut), devs push you to pay. Or spent many hours in very cheap game mode with silly gacha-gameplay.

mkx shitsssss on mk11 and 1 so don't sugar coat sh1t if u don't give the gane the criticism it needs nothing won't change

The franchise has small numbers in tournament, that is a fact. But a brand new MK, that is a highly successful franchise, needed to have better numbers. There's no way to dodge that matter, that is actually the real problem. Even small games tends to get some decent attention at their first Evo. What is "decent"? It depends on the game. Like, GGST's first Evo got to surpass SF5 in numbers, but that is very rare. So a franchise like MK, even though it's ever going to get close to SF, still is normally supposed to get much better numbers than those in the first year. Based on the "first Evo" history of previous MK games.

False. Trilogy > everything else

😂😂😂

Yeah. I enjoyed playing through the campaign (except for the last bit where they butcher the whole idea of starting over), i had some fun in ranked for a while, but most other fighting games just demolish it. If i want to play MK, i just download MKX, because there is no reason not to play that instead.

Sad thing is that MK has simply walked backwards. MK9 and MKX felt so feature-rich, fun to play and were super active and well-liked by the FGC. There's a reason that serious players prefer to opt into those two games instead of 11 and 1. They just plain suck to play and have jack all to do.

@@hinoramei7733 I love the time towers in mk11. Can’t stand the Krypt though. A store with a grind? It’s terrible. Story is ok. Customization could be better.

Yeah, tournaments and longevity are attributes specifically valued by the fgc only, that is the small group of gamers with hardcore competition interests. So WB, which is a different company than all other fighting game makers, wants to keep MK working that way. The franchise actually has a much higher commercial success, since it usually outsells most (if not all) jp fgs despite the bans and all. That must be why WB doesnt care about short lived releases.

After this video and other videos went up giving fair criticisms on MK and the situation, people took to twitter to make even more excuses for the game... Which I'll be covering later today.

He's probably the strongest character in the game, very simple to use and a lot of fun. I'm having a great time using him.

Tekken came out swinging.

The anime scene love it. I think it's pretty cool but not for me personally.

It's pretty fire imo. If your a big fan of Melty Blood, it's made by the same devs. Just beware that it's old school anime fighter. So lots of movement, tight windows, and pretty broken characters that's all very balanced. However the single player content is LOTS of fun and you can sink a pretty good amount in it.

Many reasons. But the main points are unfinished, lack of content and how nrs managed the game after launch

Cameo is the ugliest and jankiest mechanic in a fighting game.

They tried the strategy that many of these new games do. Reduce launch content then try to compensate by monetizing content through skins and dlc. And on top of that, it's content is a complete downgrade from mk11 in terms of the amount of content from launch that it offers. I used to like mk a lot around mk10 as well. Mk11 was iight but I didn't hate it. But mk1 I dropped in a week. Gameplay wise, mk10 was the last good mk imo. Mk11 was a downgrade in gameplay from mk10, but it at least had some good offline grinds to go off of (if you're into that sort of thing) to keep u busy. Mk1 is just barebones and the gameplay was alright but not enough to keep me sticking to it. That's my opinion on it.

So do you like so-called anti-woke Japanese stuff or do you like The source material which is super Japanese pick 1. This is why no one can take you guys seriously. We have a real issues going on in the video game industry such as the lack of unions, the overworkness, the rushing of games, the closing of studios, microtransactions, live service, mistreatment of customers ECT. And all you guys focus are fucking pronouns. You guys are getting what you deserve. You guys bought all that horse armor during elder scrolls and now we have all of this shit.
