- Before MK1 divided the MK fanbase, there was MK11. I remember having.... thoughts about this game. But was it actually a mistake?

We've finally done it. Mortal Kombat 11's story all in one video! Subscribe 4 Aftermath in the near future!
Lets gooooo
Yo homie, you can show shinnoks head in the tomb you just can’t show him getting decaped.
Raiden: I must consult the Elder Gods.
Us: We must insult the Elder Gods.
In all honesty I love the part when revenant Liu Kang and Kung Lao told their younger counterparts how they died. Their reactions were perfect.
I genuinely think Dark Raiden should have been the villain of this game. The whole time travel/alternate universe thing is getting so overdone
But instead we got...khronika
(Yeah definitely misspelled her name, but idc)
Well it served for Fire God Liu Kang with Geras as a homie, which i love, but at what cost...
@@YoungSweezyyou could’ve had that still with dark raiden. Geras could’ve still been in the game.
The thing is… In a series where characters die it’s hard not to fall back on the time travel/alternate universe thing. It’s the downside of a franchise like this because they can’t keep making new characters and no one likes the idea of “your favourite character won’t return because they’re dead”
I had that idea on Reddit and some dude called it the dumbest idea ever without explaining why. That's the direction I wanted MK11 to go in. MK12 could've been the Kronika story. It is what it is, though.
I'm still bitter that they basically decided to throw the Dark Raiden sequel hook from the end of MKX in the trash. There could have been a real story there - all of Raiden's failures coming to roost, as he had to sacrifice his own goodness just to correct the worst of them. You could have had Outworld as the plucky underdogs, completely inverting the dynamic of most of the games and creating opportunities to do fresh things with them. I still have no idea why they chose to reboot instead. I don't get it.
Money
And some fighters could support Raiden idea of invasion to other worlds, and the others not. It's the conflict, adult story, but we have Kronika🫠
I found it weird that Kronika would bring back Raiden just to tell him that she was going to restart history without him.
Similarly; the cinematic story of 'Street Fighter V' had a sequel hook during the credits that built up Gill and his Secret Society as a major threat that will fill the void left after the destruction of M. Bison and Shadaloo, only for 'Street Fighter 6' to drop the plotline in favor of another 'SFII' reboot featuring M. Bison and Shadaloo.
That said; Gill wasn't killed off abruptly at the beginning of the story, and JP was an actual character - unlike Kronika.
@@LegendaryDarkKnight602 It's likely that Kronika only intended to bring back Shao Kahn and his minions, and Raiden and his champions were brought back by mistake due to being in close proximity.
Even if it wasn't accidental, Kronika is firmly convinced that her and Raiden have already played out every outcome, so Raiden's interference would only make things more amusing for her.
45:08 "She kinda bad tho, is that Frost?"
I just Found that meme
😂😂😂
Right after the fakeout. I love it 😂
bro never recovered from that
Kronika just makes me laugh because of how laughably stupid, overpowered, yet incompetent she is. Also, she is in no way intimidating and just makes me think of whiny-ass Calliou as a time-twisting tyrant XD
I wouldn’t say incompetent, the writers already confirmed Raiden made her go clinically insane because her influence was waning on him and his “weird” decision would cause her to keep restarting the time line. Sucks the writer’s couldn’t clear it up better.
When I'm in a "banger upload" competition and my opponent is tgtkai:
I wish Kotal didnt get done dirty. I actually like him
Me to he was my main I was sorely disappointed in his treatment mkx as well.
"kronika fans exist"
What? Seriously?
Same, where are they? I never saw anyone saying something good about her, and I've seen some sympathy for Kai and Hsu Hao 😂
Good voice actress, that's probably why
XD
she has a cool name thats all
@@Ramsey276oneI think it's Jennifer Hale, the voice actor for female Shepard. She had more fire playing Shepard than Kronika.
Aftermath was better then the original story
But at what cost
But with twice as many inconsistencies alongside the worst NRS Retcon ever done in the form of Sindel
@@TheDevilDucker
and doesn't that say something
MK1 Is better story teller than Those both
No it isn’t.
Kitana beating Shao Kahn is such a contrivance. There is no indication in MK history that Kitana could beat Shao Kahn. Hell, in MK 9 she got beaten by Liu Kang, Sonya, etc....
Shao Khan wasn't at full strength, either. He'd just fought Kotal. She basically opportunisted her way to win.
At Some point all ppl fall.
In MKX, it's explained that she killed Shao Kahn in the original timeline during her ending. Referring to it as the "Unaltered timeline"
The replies justifying NRS’s bullshit.
@@Kameron87 Says the person here whining about 'woman beat big man not fair'.
Shut up.
When Sonya did that sacrifice at the beginning i actually cried knowing exactly what pain she just went through. Like imagine you’ve been fighting demons and monsters your whole life with your family and eventually one dies, messed up.
Sonya: A friendly fight with my daughter 😊
Cassie: *throws the drone to her groin and 🧢 her*
I might get attacked but MK11 for me is better than MK1
Same bro
Yea less boring.
It is but these lame ass liar’s will keep coping.
Noone will attack you bro. MK11 way better than mkx and mk1 shit.
@@nontalkativeguy3606 Bro the Mk1 fanboys are going to attack y’all but this game is ass and a scam. Trying to sell me on like its a huge” Skill gap” game when all they did was add Sonya Blade pre nerf air combo’s kit from MK11 into the general game and added the cameo gimmick.
I would have loved if MK11 had continued with Kotal Kahn's ladder ending where Raiden tries to preemptively invade Outworld and Kotal goes to the Elder Gods, who set up a new tournament. Raidan would tell Sonya they need to have another tournament with Outworld, they trust Raiden because of how many times they have had to fight Outworld only to discover half way into it, that they are the invaders. Then when Raidan discovers Liu Kang & Kitana's plans in Netherealm, nobody trusts him.
The return of “was a mistake”
To quote one of my favorite MKtubers: "It's your girl, Kronica. Emphasis on YOUR."
TheFightersDen
Lmaooooooo 😂😂😂
After trying MK1 again in preparation for Homelander... I remember why I prefer this game over 1. How are we almost 5 dlc characters in, and the balance still feels awful?
mk1 is the best balanced game they've made. you can hate the gameplay but you are WRONG about the balance. Learn how to use kameos & get good. MK1 IS harder than MK11 think that is your problem.
@@TracyCookiestop the cap you just like mk1 more but tell that to Jhonny, sindel, peacemaker, kenshin, baraka, plus cyrax now he is back and just him and kameleon are good kameos 😂 you said get good 😂 bro mk1 is broken asf i do like mk1 dont get me wrong but is. A piece of 💩 unbalanced game a plus they nerf characters to leave top tiers alone 😂 ashra is broken since release just like Jhonny and sindel and tanya but nerf sub zero, nerf reptile 😂
45:25 Hey Scorpion I thought you died. What the hell are you doing back there buddy?
Honestly MK11 was a hit or miss on lots of aspects
Top tier design and aesthetic in my opinion (at least better than X, which I found way too dark because every stage is submerged in an endless night), characters have cool designs and voices, crazy customisation system, and I must be the only person who likes how the combat feels (not the defense system though, its pretty trash), good fatalities and guests, the story mode cinematics are spectacular
But damn it really missed it in the story department, retconning Kabal, Sindel and Erron, introducing the time travel stuff and Kronika and wasting characters like Skarlet, the defense system is garbage, weird roster (they literally had a base for Sektor, Cyrax, a skin for Ermac, and where the hell is Takeda?)
Had history been different it would've been a high tier MK but its stuck in the limbo between people loving it or hating it
Takeda is eh
@susanstorm7910 I'm pretty sure Takeda is THE fan favorite of MKX. A lot of people consider him the best kombat kid.
@@doublelizard767I would say for hardcore MK fans he is but Cassie is the casual favorite and casuals make up a majority of the ppl who buy the game.
But Takeda and Kenshi I believe are on another mission hunting down the red dragon like they said they were gonna do in MKX. Get revenge for Takedas mother.
Kitana has NEVER had anywhere near the power needed to beat shao Kahn what they did to him in this game is disrespectful to the name and the legend that is shao Kahn
I mean, when it comes to the MK1 timeline, they've basically setup shao kahn as the big bad of the next game, so something tells me we'll be getting a bit more sledgehammer emperor soon
About the amulet: it does have the ability to absorb souls (like it absorbed shinnok in mkx), but it also gives the user amplified powers and extra powers like how mileena basically used it as a bomb after her fight with kotal (also mkx)
Babe wake up! Tgtkai posted his MK11 video!
Dude how do you make your thumbnails? They look awesomw
They should of built Kitana up to be a more competent fighter than just her randomly being able to take down Shao herself. It's kinda bullshit that she gets bodied left and right in mk9 and randomly takes out one of the most powerful villains in the mk universe.
You also get to beat the living Toasty out of kotal
2:54 This version of Cassie also has the same voice as Loona from Hellua Boss. Erica Lindbeck is my favorite VA. 🥰
Erica was amazing as Cassie. Much better than the previous actress.
@@therocketmanarchoop
Hearing it now, I can definitely hear Loona whenever Cassie talks. Plus they do have some similarities
I got to see Kotal Khan's voice actor at a con recently.
Mah boy Phil literally wielded his John Stewart voice like he was Dan Green channeling Yami Yugi. (It's kind of like he disregarded John was actually one of the stoic ones of the Justice League)
I was half expecting Phil to say "I AM GOING TO DO MY LAUNDRY! CAN I HAVE SOME CHANGE?"
I do find it funny that Shao Khan probably has a slightly better moral compass than the general if ONLY because he actually cared about Mileena.
Was just waiting for mk11 from your channel
Everyone loves to talk about the inconsistencies in the newer mk games but act like the 3d era and orignal legacy trilogy werent inconsistent too with random retcons lol we didnt even have cinematic story modes we just had an intro cinematic per game.
The one thing I found really jarring was the shaky camera all the time. Loved the story and the nuisances but that camera got annoying. Also, I really wish Dark Raiden was the final boss in this game.
MK11 is simply better than MK1...
Content wise, absolutely and undominately true
you're not wrong I'm afraid
Usually people saying that speaks volumes of that person lmao
Bro is comparing trash to shit
@@jaded_dahliadon’t be afraid
Imagine if dark Raiden was the villain and all the conflicts between characters it could have caused, like SF working with the revenants to bring him down or Scorpion being loyal to Raiden because of his ending in MKX, thus alienating Sub-Zero, maybe they could have brought back Havik instead of Noob to represent Chaos realm and cause problems. The possibilities were endless and this is what they went with. :(
"I MUST CONSULT WITH THE ELDER GOD"
Make sure you play through MK 11 aftermath
hopefully, for after MK11's aftermath story if u're making the video. l wish to getting street fighter 5's cinematic story, street fighter 6's world tour walkthrough including DLC, tekken 6's scenario campaign, guilty gear xrd series & strive's cinematic story (including another story DLC) and even dead or alive 5 & 6's story.
45:37 i would just like to point out the mistake where grandmaster scorpion(the one that died) is the one fighting up there
34:25 She didn’t kill him, she just permanently blinded him.
Crazy you don’t have more subscribers good vid!
Seeing Geras bobbing up and down as Sonya is trying to shoot it my me fall on the floor laughing
Great video dude! i love them all i have injustice 2 mk11 and mk1 on my SSD they all have so many things that we will never get again.....robert englund/freddy krueger voicing scarecrow R.I.P the TMNT all the guest characters with the actual actors voicing them like spawn robocop and rambo and now mk1 has frickin omni man with J.K Simmons actually voicing him :) all the cool dialogue, pop culture references and polish there so much to love away from just the fighting and that's why i love mk if i want a hardcore fighter i'll play tekken 8 or sf6
Kronika can't blame her loss on lag or luck. Two Words:
Skill Issue
This was fantastic you should do the aftermath DLC as well
What ar eu talking about aftermath is better than the mk11 story
The thing that keeps me with this game is Noob Saibots inclusion as well as Spawn as DLC.
Although Im bummed out theres no inclusion of Cyrax.
Like.. Noob and Cyrax wouldve been the only MK Characters I wouldve use.
The first chapter is just so amazing and atmospheric, only to then get down to just random ass beating where villains were villains cuz…
If they wanted a time travel thing, then they should have mixed the usual good and bad guys. For example, instead of new boring Raiden leave the dark one and make him be on Kronika’s side. When I first saw that epic cutscene of old Kano walking out, I was sure it was gonna be like “Chapter Y: Kano” cuz it would be the coolest thing ever to start a chapter on and it is more logical for old Kano to be against Kronika since he, being a professional businessman that is living very well in the current timeline, should know for sure that Kronika is lying. idk, in the previous game the “usual good guys being evil” worked alright, even though they were all just mindless revenants. In MK11, they could’ve used it to an even larger degree, yet put actual motivations in as well…
Definitely a missed opportunity to not switch up more character alliances.
Well the idea of Kronika reseting timelines over and over is a retcon, in theory we just watched 2 timelines so far of hundreds of them reset by Kronika, we just didn't see it. It's a meta language, implying that we didn't see it.
The only thing that doesn't make sense is if Raiden was such a pain in her ass, why bring him back from the past??? 🤦🤦🤦
19:10 oh my god he’s Gerard Valkyrie
Kronika was bald as hell looking like Mr clean 💀
Mrs. Clean-
"beat his ass, he's collecting stuff"
truly villainous intentions
Rhonda's voice work fit more with the older, camp voices.
And Megan Fox, I don't blame ehr there. She was apparently dealing with massive time crunch so wasn't able to do the lines justice.
😂😂😂Superior narration, bro your like the Ryan Reynolds of Narration, definate subscriber
Am I the only one who sees Superman from “Injustice Gods Among Us” anytime Raiden starts to give a monologue??
In kotal's case, some people never get over their one true love after they die if they're young enough & only get into non serious relationships if any at all.
11 has my favorite versions of most of the cast, but god im so sick of every game since the ps3 era just being about time travel, or alt dimensions.
9 was good though , mkx had the last good gameplay
I love all the content homie, your success is so well deserved. Thank you ❤
I might’ve been kinda fond of Kronika if she didn’t look like Andy in Toy Story one.
Tgtkai: I will not show the floor, there is a mess
Also tgtkai: 21:00
33 like in 7 Minutes?
Damm bro cooking
Awesome Video Bro!
If Geras grows stronger with every defeat, does that make him a Saiyan?
Mk11 was goated, top 2 game, honestly better than MK1. Also, can you do characters endings? When you dont preform a finisher, they have an ending, can you rank them?
"the multiverse is kinda what happens when they write themselves into a corner"
Wassup man how ya doing
How did they expect us to feel any suspense about character deaths when we knew the timeline could and would be reset??
Pls do Aftermath, found out about the channel yesterday and already finished all the MK and injustice vids
Love your content keep up the great work
Light years beyond the mk1 bullshit
I miss the old times when you could get skins and other stuff Just by playing the game. I completed everything and thought i would unlock shao khan or the god liu kang skin. It was so sad 😢
Real ones know that the thumbnail is based on the Armageddon thumbnail with Stryker punching milleena in the face 🔥
At some point I remember cyrax and sektor being playable or maybe it was just in another MK game
I’m 7 mins in and I just wanted to say, they shouldn’t of put Sonya in the roster coz she literally died within the first chapter. So I reckon they could’ve put sektor/Cyrax in instead is Sonya
Subscribed cause this guy is a man of taste with his culture references 🤝
You can use Cyrax and Sektor as an assist in the towers I think
Mk11 was my first mortal kombat ever so it holds a special place in my heart
MK11 wasn’t a bad game in my opinion, it was just kind of messy when you think about it. So many characters that got prominent roles in earlier games where just given the shaft and I do like the time travel aspect of the story in terms of redemption for characters getting sloppy seconds in 9 and X (mainly Lui Kang). I just feel like there could have been more to it than just a lady wanting to pull a Thanos around the time Avengers Endgame released.
The moment i saw the gume stuff in mk11 i knew that NRS were headed downhill, and i was right i only ever played mk11 once and have deliberately avoided mk1
19:53 Considering she's voiced by Jennifer Hale, it makes sense that she's well voiced
There’s a mod where you can play as Sector and Cyrax
Crackhead theory:
They got Megan Fox in MK1 just to make Ronda Rowsey seem much better by comparison, they KNEW that Megan Fox couldn't put any emotion in her voice if she wanted to
15:20 God I freaking love Johnny dealing with younger Johnny because older is more wise and experienced he's a good guy and it's so funny to see him look back at his cocky asshole younger self
That’s what happens when you find love and build a life with them. Dude really lived the good life.
Probably with time travel is the “just go back earlier” argument cant be beat

Hi. Where is your Paper Mario TTYD playthrough?
little talked fact
Liu Kang vs Raiden wasn't a thing until MKvDC
Before that, every representation of the two was of a proud mentor and a valuable friend type of relationship
we can blame WB for that little bit of BS (which was creative in MK9 and vDC, well used in 11 but terribly presented in 11)
11:46 Im pretty sure he wins Armageddon and is the one who offs Raiden at the beginning of MK9...Is that not a Shao Kahn W??
9:31
Me when the god I made starts thinking they can play God: 😮
Kronika really was her own worst enemy
Is the thumbnail just Armageddon but with Liu kang and kronika
There is a true ending though probably can call it secret ending (Beat Kronika at the Dinosaur stage) now that the normal ending leads into Aftermath.
My king has posted
Raiden actually was what please, in this game? There was never a version with a fighting style that was less typical raiden than here, in any mk game ever.
Would there b no electricity in all he does, i wouldn't believe that it's him. He's like a cosplayer.
Just remember the absolute kung fu god he was in mkx n now tell me how this lame ass version is supposed to b accdptable to a raiden fan.
It's like we now get only his ignorance n lack of wisdom without any of what made him cool n balanced out what a dumbass he allways was, if he not was buisy offering no substantial help to those he should guide.
Thundergod raiden was able to really feel godlike to play, this one feels lame as f.
Every time red electricity goes on raidens eyes I think of homelander
13:47 did you ever read the mortal kombat x comics? They show pretty well how Kotal is built different too
48:47 MK 1 having it was more than enough 😭😭I do NOT wanna see stung lao/shao-zero/liu shao/whatever in MK 11 (they'd look cool but they're so goofy ngl)
CAN'T WAIT FOR AFTERMATH
You chose the less good ending that fits more with aftermath and not the firegod liu kand kitana ending?
I think this story mode is fantastic. The aesthetic is so much better than 9 and X, and I loved experiencing it for the first time.
I prefer X's dark tone mk 11 felt like a rainbow lol
@@DoctorDoom_editzmkx was too like grey and brown, none of the characters had good colours even tho the actual designs are amazing
I love all the Dragon Ball references, keep doing that :D :D
I know a lot of people don’t like them, but I feel like we should’ve had one more game with the kombat kids before rebooting again.
I feel like nrs gave up on what they introduced him mkx a little too quick
i mean kombat kids are coming back in MK1/new timeline they will just have altered stories. they were written poorly in the first timeline. I hope they do a better job.
Legit mk 11 feels so janky compared to mk x it really feels like there is input delay instead of allowing you to put in the chain and the. The character catching up you kinda have to time each bottom press accordingly and somethings feel like they should chain but don’t
