I like how stryker having arguably one of the beat rated kameo fatal blows is just him being police man while cyrax does the saw thing
I mean his also has a beat to it, a 1, 2, and then three which if they all had would make them way better. Like cyrax does one thing then he's done, Stryker did 3
Police Brutality
😍🥰💗
@@fernygamer6985 ? They just had to stop resisting lmao
@@fernygamer6985”police brutality coming up”
On principle I can’t support Stryker since he 12 😂
Johnny's Fatal Blow gets at least an extra point for the "NOOOO!" that you hear before the camera drop.
Also add in the fact that when you start it he does a little dance and during that you can PARRY AN ATTACK to then hit your Fatal Blow
@@bubbon1573 Just for the meme, he got the International Love.
@@donnycorn3086You put it down like new york city!
@@H2OHydraulic(I never sleep!)
It’s so much better when “international love” plays with it too
Stryker's funny because he wastes absolutely no time waiting to attack, he's shooting frame 1. Also if we're talking Kameo combos. Goro dislocating your arms and Sindel dislocating your legs is a nice thematic combination. Unsure if they're a good build, but it may be fun to pick based on how cohesive the duo's Fatal blows are.
he's shooting frame one just like a real cop
@@Saintlike_0"SIR GET D- *BLAPBLAPBLAPBLAP*"
@@Saintlike_0 social commentary also man if i was up against anything from mk id either shit frame one or try and run
He wanted to shoot from the start, he was just waiting to be told to.
The "fuck your tendons" duo
Darrius’ didn’t have a lot of spectacle, but the way it flowed was pretty damn nice to look at, I feel.
I think it would actually be more brutal to look at if it was done without the X-ray. Legs are not meant to bend that way, and having a more realistic perspective might have a bigger impact.
A lot of the other ones are way over the top, but most people can relate to a broken leg.
@@fendelphiBro that isn't a broken leg that's a shattered leg💀💀 that shit is dust now😭
Yeah it's actually kinda satisfying to look at, I prefer his one to some of the more flashy ones.
Its pretty painful on basic life levels
Me too. I like his martial arts knowledge showing instead of just wailing on people.
Gonna say that Shao Kahn's feels like he was supposed to land on the chest and bring the axe down on their head to finish it, but they decided they didn't want to give him another X ray shot.
Thought the same thing, kinda feel like they should have done 1 x-ray for Kameo and 2 for fighters, this way what happens with Shao doesn’t happen
They probably could have added a crunch sound
Yeah like show his axe head going into the neck and breaking it
Yeah, a bunch of them feel like there's an x-ray shot that is cut.
Slamming them down to the ground with the axe definitely shouldn't have been where the x-ray shot was, for sure.
I actually like Darrius’s because I think it’s the ONLY one where the leg is x-ray’d in that way. Most of them go for the ribs or the head
I agree I like the unique x rays that aim for parts of the body that we don't see often
I like Darrius' because you can see the opponent limping away afterwards, dragging their leg which had the knee broken. Really cool touch.
I like Darrius's not only for the uniqueness of it, but for the relatability of a broken knee and the fact that it's one of the few supers that you could reasonably survive
I don't know if its just me, but I also like Darrius's because the hits just feel especially brutal. I don't know if its the sound or animation, but I always feel the brutality of the hits
I actually appreciate the choreography in Darrius', it's just a very well practiced beatdown. The movement from the knee to the gut to the leg-breaker is so smooth, too.
6:10 the key thing is that MK11 Geras barely got to use his time powers for cinematic stuff; MK1 was when they realized "oh huh, we somehow didn't do a fatality where he does time travel stuff? let's do that, and go even more insane with it" and it's awesome
That's probably why people hated him in MK11 because he was such a missed opportunity. "He has time powers but he doesn't use them? What the fuck Netherrealm? This guy sucks!"
Yeah they made him the “sand guy” instead of utilizing the fact that he was basically a time god. Was so weird
The disconnect between Kung Lao’s personality and fighting style is always so funny to me. He’s this noble hero of justice, like even more good aligned than like Raiden is, and here he is Jojo punching his opponent into the buzzsaw he planted in the ground
Kung Lao: "I am a Shaolin Warrior of great skill and descend from a lineage of honorable kombatants."
Also Kung Lao: [Drags someone over a sawblade crotch first]
Baraka being actually cool and top tier feels like a dream come true
He escaped the jobber status and the bottom tier ranking. All it took was a debilitating disease.
@@41tinman41and a winning personality
Must've just joined after mk9 or mk vs DC lmfao
Sadly now we have to deal with people hating us for being baraka mains, despite playing him before he was ever top tier
:(
I don't really understand this complaint. Baraka has always been cool, just because the story doesn't make use of him doesn't take away from how cool he is as a character. In regards to top tier, does nobody remember Baraka in mk 11? Maybe not top tier, but he wasn't garbage. Now he's all over the story and really good in the meta so now everyone finally feels like he's worth a damn, just kinda strange after he was in the last game and pretty decent too
I think Jonny's fatal blow is amazing
first he starts dancing disrespectfully in your face then he parries your attack then he sends Kameo to attack then he starts walking casually and grabs you by the neck and throws you face first into a giant camera and throws the camera at your chest
This mortal man is beating gods and monsters while dancing and recording it to make content
And then the opponent is on the ground yelling out "NOOO" just makes it better for me 😂😂
For me it’s the thumbs up before he does the silly walk and kicks your shit in 🤣
All of this, while Pitbull's "International Love" is playing in the background 😂😂
Can I just say I like Darrius' due to how simple it is?
The guy is obviously all about teamwork and it's nice that his Fatal Blow is not even lethal but is the perfect set-up for YOU to shine.
Didn't expect to enjoy him as much as I did.
Nice catch
@@VeotheVillain His brutality is funny for this.
Hope his other fatality can make it in the game later down the line.
@@realfromtherealreality4148 they honestly dropped the ball on Darrius’s fatality, worst one in the game, everything else is cool tho
A leg break is kinda unique too compared to mostly ribs or skulls getting broken.
I use Darrius/Johnny Cage and I love it because it connects so well. Like the enemy is trying to limp away and Johnny walks up to smash their face in the camera
Love how Goro literally dislocate the opponents arm's,only for it to immediately reattach without any explanation the next frame 😂😂😂
He doesn't rip them off he dislocates them I'm pretty sure
He actually dislocates the arms, not rip them. He does that to Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat Scorpion's Revenge
@@JoaoLucasK they literally rip out of the sockets and the arms clearly are being ripped in two
@@21Handguns he doesn't you can see the silhouette of his skin, doesn't make much sense but he rips them off on the inside without the skin
@@NeonReaperMkVII still,logic still applies. Acting like just because he may not have ripped their arms means that it still isn't ridiculous regardless 🤓🤓🤓
I give Sindel a 10
Simply because she goes from a lackluster "slam them twice" straight to "I'm gonna fuck you up so bad everyone watching can feel it"
How is Darrius a 4? The way the opponent tries to limp away, dragging their broken leg is super brutal.
Yeah but compared to the others fatal blows by the kameo, it feel pale in the end
He rated Sektor higher than Darrius despite him literally only just don't the equivalent of a super. Aka shooting rockets.
Darrius has the best Kameo fatal blow in the game in my opinion! That frickin leg break! OUCH!!!
Because it wasn’t brutal in the sense that it was overly fatal I think. Easily the rating I disagree with the most.
Dude, anyone could do a darrius fatal blow in real life LMAO
Cyrax sandwiching the opponents head with the bombs reminds me of the Gordon Ramsay idiot sandwich bit. For that - 10/10
And the target opening their eyes and realizing what's about to happen is a nice touch too. Their face just says "Aw, shit."
No one:
Cyrax: 3-0, cry!
Everyone used to hate stryker because of how goofy he was and now everyone absolutely loves stryker because of how goofy he is🤣
He was always my main but but that’s true, a lot of people hate him
Before
Love how Kitana's is just her lunging attack from mkx but cinematic lmao.
Her XRay/Fatal has been waaay too similar the past three games. It weird to think her MK9 is the most unique imo
@@adiris8827the mk 9 x-ray is way too similar to jade in mk11, i would say her x-ray in mk11 is the best simply because of the bounce lol
Johhny fatal blow: 8/10
Johhny fatal blow with international love 69/10
I've noticed in every NRS game kitana's been in, her x-ray super always involves going for the head
I mean, in a game called MORTAL KOMBAT, I'd be going for the head to.
I think u didn't get the joke@@coomcharger6105
I bet she did with liu kang too
she watched infinity war😋
There is a pocket of dead air in Shao's that's really difficult to overlook.
It's so noticable compared to the others.
I will say this, for a non-team game, MK1 really pushes a sort of "team" element with the kameos. It sort of, I guess, "pares down" the insanity of a more typical team game like MvC, BlazBlue Tag, and the like to 1v1 in practice, but you still get the multi-character madness. This is my main explanation for the... I suppose, "quirks" of the Fatal Blow presentation and even, to an extent, the fatalities.
I compare MK1 to MVC1 a lot
Johnny's actually becomes a 12/10 with the International Love mod
Instant win for the memes alone
I really love Sonya's because even though it's simple, the build up and impact of the sound makes it really satisfying.
samee
honestly as someone who hasn't played MK1 yet, it feels jarring to see Johnny's Fatal Blow without International Love blaring in the background
Darrius is good for the simple fact that the leg break is unique unlike most that go for obvious body parts, also would be cool if they added more fatal blow animations so we can switch them and keep things fresh
There are some unique fatal blows in the story mode that have no X-ray after all. Scorpion will dislocate your arm when you fight IIRC.
Your ratings are so inconsistent i love it
"it's the show where the scores are made up and the points don't matter"
Shout out to Max and the team for the quick and awesome edit! I caught the beginning of this live and I realsied it took a very long time to go through all these menus and resets just to see the fatal blows.
What are you talking about? A long time to go thru menus? You literally only have to go to character select and pick the next characters… then you’re right back in and can immediately perform X-rays. If you think that takes a lot work then you must have never had a real job. Lucky if so
@@derekwhite4312 You ok dude? Rough day at work or something? I'm sorry for what you're going through right now but hopefully things will get better for you!
@@junglecackHe’s not wrong, man. Max does a lot more actually meaningful stuff, so praising him for this just feels demeaning. He enjoys what he does; treating it like he’s working in a business office is completely unnecessary.
The editing and management deserves praise, but don’t glorify every menial thing he does. If he does something _remarkable,_ it means something to be thankful. Everyone who plays the game goes through the menus.
havik frantically beating the shit out of you until his hands are literally destroyed from the repeated blows, and then stabbing you with the bone shards sticking out of the bloody stumps is a 10/10 bit
Shujinko is the coolest character you can't play as. Not a huge fan of the "old kung fu master" type fighting game characters but NRS knocked it out of the park with the slickness of his moves and presentation. Legit would main this guy if I could.
I absolutely loved Shujinko and Havik in deception so I was so fucking stoked to see them return.
Stryker out here with that realistic cop behavior.
What I love about Havik is that he is punching the enemy so hard his arms literally break off until It's just the bone to stab them with. Then again I'm completely biased towards Havik so... idk
Everyone: I have trained this martial art for years!
Striker: I have a gun.
Some fighters: I have studied the fist
Other fighters: I’ve studied the blade
Stryker: So anyway I started blasting
Shao definitely should have been him swinging his axe down on you without the X-ray shot and then he just lands on you full force and crushes your ribs, just to kind of accentuate the sheer size and strength he has
Like he hits you upwards with the axe, then clashes with you in the air(kinda like his old upwards shoulder charge) and then maybe he grabs you and swings you towards the ground to then land on your ribs with the X-ray shot at the end. I really don't understand how anyone working on mk1 could see some of these xrays and think: "Meh, good enough", especially after comparing them to ones like Geras' or Raiden's, like if you're gonna deliver cool X-rays, don't just give them to some characters and then half-ass the rest you know?
I think keeping the launch into the air with no X-ray is good, but instead having him slam down into the opponent and having a face-down X-ray as the axe and his legs make contact and crush both their ribs with his stomp and their skull with the axe. It lacks the signature brutish strength that Shao has as is, like OP said.
@@scarymeunster9095 Ooo thhat sounds awesome too, it's a shame that the reduced the amount of x ray shots from the 3 in mk9 to just one, like specially with the cameo gimmick they could have kept it and made it so the cameo has 1 X-ray shot and the main would have 2. That way you could have Shao dash towards you after he launches you but this time he grabs your head and crushes it againts his to show just how strong he is, then as you land on the ground he would land and crush your ribs with his legs, or hell maybe the axe as you said
@@scarymeunster9095 Actually it think something more akin to your idea would be him throwing you upwards with the axe, then clashes with you and slams you into the ground and as he lands on you there could be 2 X-rays shots back to back, 1 of his legs crushing you ribs while he hasn't made contact with the axe yet, and the it pans to your face being shattered as soon as the axe hits you
I wish Shao could delay his axe coming down. Like you're in the middle of a combo and activate FB but hold the triggers down to delay the axe and continue your combo then let the triggers go to have it come down and be an overhead.
Even if some individual beats are a lil weaker, I love that they have a little bit more variation with different kameo openers for ur character, rather than a huge elaborate cutscene that is always exactly the same beat for beat that you'd see most matches
Darrius’ fatal blow just hits right in my opinion, characters simply showing their martial arts skill instead of using magic or weapons is so cool to look at. Doesn’t take away from Stryker’s having the best one but Darrius definitely ain’t a 4
“He just punches and kicks you” yeah, my brother in christ it’s a fighting game, what’s wrong with a guy doing a smooth ass muay thai combo
Stryker's fatal blow also goes really well with Baraka's because he sort of "tenderizes" the enemy's thorax before Baraka pierces the same place without the risk of his blade stopping on bone. Fascinating
I like how cyrax is affected by his bombs everytime he uses, but all his parts just fly and fuse back, cool robot concept
Rate all the fatalities
...on the Nintendo Switch
that aladdin reference to li me was funny 😂
Stryker was so trigger happy that he didn't let Baraka finish his move 😂😂
nah bruh johnny literally dances on you, grabs the viewer and crushes you with the camera, that’s so hard😭😭
Im a massive sucker for characters who just do straight hands, so Darius has to be an 8 for me. Its just so nice
Tanya's one is awesome, the fact that it pushes you towards the stick with all the impact force so it VERY quickly goes through your skull with no pause makes it better
It's not like Cyrax's saw and Sareena's hand that they first hit you, then there is a pause, and then it goes through your body
I been waiting for this!😱😱 I love when you do these
I definitely prefer the ones in 11. Something about them feel a lot cooler and brutal to me for most of them
Geras in MK1 is fucking god level fr, everything he does is amazing
If Jax had said "gotcha" that would've made it so much better
Darius and reptile go really well together for their fatal blow
it’s a good combo
Baraka’s Fatal Blow is just like his original MK9 X-Ray.
I love how kenji is literally just vergil
it’s weird seeing johnny’s fatal blow without having international love blasting in my ears.
Thank you for uploading another MK video!
If the international love setup was done then johhny's fatal blow would have been beyond a 10/10
Been waiting for this 🙏🏽
TBH a lot of kameos feel weird because all the opponents need to be standing up when move ends even if the last hit would clearly knock people down. Sareena and Motaro kicking people mid-air for them to land standing, Cyrax and Sektor literally blowing people up and they're somehow still standing, etc.
Definitely not the next MK video I expected on this channel but here we are
I do like how the film camera says "error macro" in flashing red letters at the bottom after Johnny Cage slams his opponent's face into it.
Funny how havik literally beats you so hard that his fists come off then just stabs you with the bone
Why does everyone think sindel "crushes your nuts"? She pulls your thigh bones from your hips. You all need to use your eyes.
Torn groin for sure lol
I like how simple the fatalities and fatal blows are in this game. Not as crazy and over the top like in MK11 and over quickly. Nice haha
Kitana’s is identical to hers in 11 without the funny bounce
I like that Smoke makes his partner disappear into smoke before the attack even though it doesn’t really contribute much
If Geras is throwing you into another timeline, does that mean he just replaced his opponent with an alt universe version?
I don’t think Geras can actually open entire timelines at will, just points in a single one. Geras still needs the Hourglass to restart history in his 11 ending, so I imagine opening borders between them would take either that power as a Titan or something similar, since they’re the only ones who seem capable.
Eyyy love this series
I like how Sub-Zero main fighter action in fatal blows is a reference to how he killed Hanzo in MK Legends Scorpions Revenge for that it's a 10.
Dude, the way Goro rips the arms in his Fatal Blow is the same way he rips Jax's arms in Scorpion's Revenge, even the animation of the x-ray is the same. Very cool!
Honestly out of all of them, I think Johnny has the best one with that little dance of his hahaha.😹
And the crowd chanting "Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!"
The fact it's a counter makes it even better, it's like with Dan's taunt Super, you wanna punch his stupid face and not let him keep going, but if you let it rock it's a lot of wasted time but VERY punishable XD
I wish Max did this with the other doods. Always more fun with them involved hearing their opinions
I imagine it just isn’t enough to get a lot of good commentary going. Gameplay or major things like cinematic Fatalities or endings have a good bit to talk about, but the Fatal Blows are designed to be very compact and quick. There’s not much to go on besides what you see in the little choreography portion.
Screamed out loud @ 7:40 Reminds me of Roller King in 4th grade...
It’s really unfortunate for Shao. It starts out STRONG as hell with him charging with his axe. Super badass… then it ends with him…. Landing on you? Bro what
He should've slammed you back down, and either the x-ray shot being landing on you with a massive body smashing slam and stabs out in the face and throws you away, or the x-ray being when he would stab you in the face. Just needed the extra bit at the end of "Get away from me, vermin" instead of him walking off of you like you were done. Shao doesn't do that in ANY timeline.
@@darthcerebus yeah I honestly thought when he hits w the axe, he would have brought the opponent back down and that’s where the X-ray would be
Personally I love that pathetic little limp backwards the opponent does after Darius'. Like, the fact that they actually REACT to what just happened, and act like it really did do damage, definitely elevates it for me. I don't love it, but I do think you did it dirty. Strong 7/10 from me, MAYBE an 8 if I'm feeling charitable.
I like how Stryker's Fatal Blow is literally just his X-Ray from MK9.
The fatal blows actually feel a lot shorter since the kameo is apart of the blow and there’s only two x-rays. But that’s just like the finish them screen being shorter (to prevent toxicity). The fatal blow might be bcuz of pacing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: Raiden’s is similar to mkx
"to prevent toxicity"
I'm sorry what?
@@Arcademan09 remember how the finish then screen in mk11 was much longer than the one now, usually if I lost or a friend or even a youtuber the opponent would have enough time to t bag 10 times or more and then fatal
Hahaha Max did a fire Marshall Bill face yo.. that was funny 😂
ill always love johnnys and even more with the international love edit
What this game accomplished with its supers was really cool in my opinion. Every character does something unique to their character and there’s barley any overlap.
10:35
I just realized that Kung Lao's fatal blows looks like a level 1 from Vegeta Blue from DBFZ
Glad they brought x-rays back for the fatal blows. Krushing blows were cool, but the visual effect of the skeleton is much more fitting here
I like how each fatal blow has a different hit box. Reiko being a grab, Raiden double hit, Nitara overhead and air
Great Video Max.
Yh alot of the Fatal Blows don't flow that well but still fun too see nonetheless tho.
Stryker's Kameo Fatal Blow part is awesome defo 10/10 for me plus Scorpions is Top Notch also.
In terms of Kameo Fighters fatal blows, I think Stryker, Kung Lao, Scorpion, and Shujinko have the best ones.
If Shao brought the pummel of the axe down on the head at the end of it (maybe with a little axe twirl), I feel that could've brought it up to an 8, maybe a 9.
You post this AFTER i finish lunch!? NOOOOOO DAMMIT. I have no burger for this
Darrius has the best Kameo fatal blow in the game in my opinion! That frickin leg break! OUCH!!!
Stryker be like
YOU CALL THIS RESISTING ARREST? WE CALL THIS A DIFFICULTLY TWEAK
Thought Raiden was about to use Cloud’s Omnislash from Advent Children 😂
"Aw man, Darrius' isn't good" MAX HAVE YOU HAD A KNEE INJURY?! THAT SHIT HURTS PLUS YOU CAN'T MOVE OR IT HURTS 100X MORE
True, but have you been stabbed through multiple limbs and the chest and eventually the mouth before getting slammed in the head with a giant hammer? XD Bit of a difference, and besides, it's more on thematic/flashiness scale than solely effectiveness.
@@darthcerebus no, but I have sat in hospital with a fully dislocated kneecap for 5 hours because I was so nervous that the anesthetic they gave me didn't work and the only time they were able to do anything was when I was so sore from the pain and constantly screaming/hyperventilating that I became tired enough for them to shift it back into place
I agree about Kung Lao’s! Simple doesn’t mean bad
6:14 EXCUSE YOU, GERAS IS MY SON AND I LOVED HIM SINCE THE DAY HE WAS BORN.
Johnny Cage's is a 10/10 😂 you just forgot to add the "International Love" background music
You all got it completely wrong with Shao‘s Fatal Blow. You see, it’s actually a reference! It’s a reference to the best Fatality in MK vs DC, where Kano jumps on you at the end and NRS wanted to pay tribute to it by making Shao do the same ending.
Sonya does the animated movie Cammy move that killed that guy 😂😂
Honestly for Johnny and non-Brutality/Fatality moves, nothing beats his MK11 Fatal because I loved the sick kick combo into the silly Oscar statue being stabbed through the chest (And the twinkle sound when he pulls it out has me laughing even 5 years later) ....I do miss his MK11 Fatals and Brutalities too
honestly i don't really mind the simple ones like Darrius's or kanos, in a game with literal gods, sorcerers, vampires and ninjas doing supernatural stuff. Having simple, straightforward fatal blows Done by relatively normal people ( emphasis on relatively, given some of the non human stuff on characters like Kano) is kind of refreshing to see honestly
I love that ninjas compulsively izuna-dropping people is just a thing now.
*PRINCE RAIN*
👑💜👑💜
Looks so good
Also, how the hell does johnny get an 8?
Geras’ fatal blow: “I’m losing can i have your guy instead?”
My 1 issue with Li Mei's is that the momentum of the neck crack as she vaults by them doesn't carry over into the throw. She hits the grounds and grabs them by their back after instead of twisting the head and using the movement to spin them off their feet into the throw. Think like Sonya's X-ray in X when she throws them over her shoulder into the ground, except here it's just straight ahead.
