Yeah these trailers made me VERY excited for these games! Which was your favourite?! Check out our full Mortal Kombat playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLem1Gre7xAISd0FgOf-rQkLfvAK0qMWzX.html
For when your ready for Kombat here’s some questions I noticed you had I’ll answer Who is the grey Ninja? That’s Smoke one of the original Lin Kuei warriors Who was the guy with the battle axe? That was General Shao who’s there version of M.Bison but who’s way scarier who originally goes by the name Shao Kahn The Cyborgs in the Lin Kuei? The yellow one is Cyrax his known for the net and the red one is Sektor Cyrax’s superior Scorpion Skull? His first fatality was called Toasty when he pulls of the mask and it turns into a skull because he was a warrior from the nether realm once was Earth realm but turned nether realm by being revived by Quan-Chi the guy on the far left in the Kombat pack 1 trailer with Omni-Man and Homelander The guy who can rip his own arm of? He was Havik known as the cleric of chaos once was in Chaos realm but hear his lives in order realm One more thing you should probably know: The skeleton army are known as the Immortal Army because they were skeletons they can’t die and there master the Dragon King was over throned by Shao by poison but will he return?
To answer your question about Mileena had Tarkatan qualities in the previous era. She was created using Tarkatan blood along with Kitanas blood, by Shang Tsung in the Fleshpits of Outworld. This era is quite interesting and I’m excited to see the story unfold.
Jean-Claude Van Damme's best movie by far is Bloodsport. I highly recommend that. Some of my other favourites are Hard Target and The Quest. He also played Guile in the Street Fighter movie.
Good thing is, this is COMPLEATLY new timeline! You dont need to learn past lore to get into this game, i preordered premium so i can play it 24th! Currently planing to main kenshi, he reminds me of vergil from devil may cry series
This game is one of my favorites. Not only is the story mode killer, but the gameplay in THIS one is insane. All characters have insanely unique abilities
some more context for the lin kuei members: scorpion used to be in a japanese clan called the shirai ryu, whom rivaled with sub zero's lin kuei clan. In the new timeline, scorpion and sub zero are blood brothers instead of enemies and are both in the lin kuei also in the original mk1 sub zero was "Bi Han" and was killed by scorpion as he was framed for killing his clan (it was quan chi who did it) and the sub zero name was taken by his brother Kuai Liang, and in this game sub zero is back to Bi Han and scorpion is believed to be Kuai Liang
Oh damn, Bi Han is back? Means we probably won't get Noob Saibot 😭😭😭😭I really liked him (not really as a character, he has next to no personality, but his abilities were cool and I mained him in 11)
Technically all the characters are from previous games, but a lot of these are brand new to me! They're from gsmes almost TWO decades old at this point so there's lots of cool new ones to play with!😁❤️
This will be my FIRST Mortal Kombat game I play at launch so I'm extra excited! I played X and 11 but only last year so I was late and I didn't even really play the stories so I don't know much more but I love all the freedom and fatalities and these frickin trailers got me so hyped! I can't wait to experience this for the first time since it will be a new experience for me and I'm so excited now!😁❤️
30:29 This part should not have been this funny, the way he was talking and then immediately paused and took off his headphones after hearing the Jennifer's Body reference.
There are tree types of like brutal tings 1:Fatality 2:Brutality 3:faltal blow You can differentiate them bye looking at sometimg the fatality and brutality is when you like you remove body parts from your opponent and the fatal blow is when you dont remove body parts
You really should react to the MK lore to get up to speed, you showed a lot of gaps in MK knowledge in this video alone. It could possibly distract you from enjoying this new story when you play it. I'd recommed "The Komplete History of Mortal Kombat" playlist by MK Temple, It's really thorough and I think it's the most accurate and complete with the lore.
That Dave Bautista ad was a reference to the very first MK game ad, with a ginger kid screaming MORTAL KOMBAT and then random people start walking to the strees to scream too
Van Damme's line about Street Fighter is most likely because he was in the movie. He was also in a movie called Kick Boxer, also in that line. So if anything I think it's a dig at his own past films :D
36:56. Past timeline Mileena was created by Shang Tsung as a clone from Kitana’s genetics, they share blood but they’re not actual sisters in a way. The “disease” was also an actual race of a tribe in outworld… so Mileena only happened via cross genetics sorcery This new Mk1 timeline Mileena and Kitana are actual twin sisters and the Tarkatan race are now Tarkat disease that seems to be contagious in a way, as of now due to unknown reason, Mileena got the disease and her family are trying to keep that secrets from the public so it doesn’t jeopardize her being an inheritance daughter of the next throne
the scorpion cameo that can turn into a skeleton is because thats the revenant version who is serving quan chi. So hes like an undead hellspawn basically (also the OG scorpion fatality was he ripped is own face off to reveal a flaming skull and used flame breath to incinerate his opponent.
This new timeline pretty much changed everything and their lore. Previously, Tarkartans were not a disease but a race itself. Milenna was just a clone made by Shang Tsung (the sorcerer from the last trailer) from kitanna and Tarkartan DNA. New timeline, Milenna is not a clone but an actual sister. Probably someone poisoned her so that she would get Tarkat
Yeah I only realised during the premiere when somebody brough up that "Kickboxer" is one of his movies, the only movie I know for a fact I've seen him in is the Street Fighter one hahaha
Smoke has been in previous games but I've really only seen the robot version since I only played the most recent ones. They're bringing him back to a traditional ninja in this though which is cool!
A few years ago, I was watching blood sport when jcvd did the nut punch. I was all like “oh shit he did Johnny cages move!” Until my friend said “no, Johnny does jcvd’s move”
Sounds like you have a lot of catching up to do. It seems like you are somewhat familiar with the most well known, core characters but there's a lot of characters that you aren't aware of or familiar with and I would recommend going over the storylines of the last few games at least. Also they are bringing back some of the characters from the MK4-MK Armageddon era so going back and checking out those games will also give you some good context as well. As far as the realms go, as far as I'm aware of there's Edenia which was merged with Outworld after losing the Mortal Kombat tournament 10 times in a row, then there's Earthrealm, the Netherrealm (aka Hell), Order realm and Chaos Realm. The Lin Kuei is the clan of Sub Zero and Smoke. In the original timeline Scorpion (Hanzo Hasashi) was a member of the Shirai-Ryu, but in this timeline he's the literal brother of Sub-zero and also a member of the Lin Kuei. Rain isn't a ninja but a prince of Edenia and the illegitimate son of a god which is where he gets his powers from as a half god himself, in this timeline Liu Kang has rewritten him to be a sorcerer
The "ninjas" of the original 2D games were really only "ninjas" through necessity of the times to buff up the roster, ie. palette-swapping. Scorpion was the only one that's a ninja in the actual lore, though the Lin Kuei borrow a good few tropes and tactics of their own, especially Smoke in later games compared to his brethren. When they moved to 3D and beyond, they went to great lengths to differentiate all the other "ninja" characters into what they were originally envisioned, Rain being a noble prince, Reptile as... a reptile, etc.
10:35 there are 6 main realms in total Earthrealm, Netherrealm, Outworld, Orderrealm, Chaosrealm, and Edenia. At some point in the timeline, Edenia merged with outworld, so technically there are 5 main realms. It is unknown if the two are still merged or not in this new timeline. There are several other realms that exist, but they are either not cannon or mini realms
The x-rays are called fatal blows (previously called as x-rays in mk9 and mkx), they're not fatalities but think of it as rage burst from tekken 7 or super special moves Fatalities on the other hand are just finishers with style and they only work at the end of a match As for Kameo Scorpion being a skeleton, he's Hanzo Hasashi from the previous timelines (MK1-MK11). The reason he's like that is because he was killed by Bi-Han (Sub-Zero) but revived as a revenant by Quan-Chi. As for MK1 Scorpion, he's now Kuai Liang who was previously the 2nd Sub-Zero in the previous timeline. MK storyline is deeper and complicated, I'd recommend at least watch the complete timeline videos on youtube or start from MK9-MK11😅
Ey, notice me pls im trying to explain -The one who regenerates and has a missing skin on his mouth [Havik] -the one who is bald like kratos [Quan chi] -the one with the mask at The dlc trailer [Shang Tsung] And correction for Scorpion who is a skeleton [He was Hanzo hasashi, Previously on mk11. and the present Scorpion beside Sub-Zero is Kuai Liang, Sub-Zero's brother] The one whose powers are a smoke [Smoke, yes his literal name is smoke]
A tip for kombos that helped me is input them all before the animation plays not after sometimes that can be difficult because of the short animation that that you have to input the rest of the kombo or at least the next few clicks before it ends
Ngl, i think you should watch some sort MK lore/story from like Scorpion on what you said Which i will give a lil backstory on him (i may get some things wrong, been awhile since then) Scorpion was a normal human ninja that was part of a another clan called the Shirai Ryu. But later having the "Lin Kuei" ambush killing all of Scorpion clan and family, including him too But when he was in the NetherRealm, he seeked out vengeance for his clan and family. Thats when he made a lil deal with Quan Chi to be basically like Ghost Rider like you said and get revenge, so then he joined the Mortal Kombat tourny in MK9 to get revenge for what happened, he did.... But the wrong Sub-Zero, who he killed was the Brother of one of them named Bi-Han (aka now known as Noob Saibot). Soon, the other brother (i think his name was Tundra or something like i heard in MK9 story) was told that his brother got killed by Scorpion, he wanted revenge for his brother. But after awhile and mix ups and fighting or whatever (skip over to MKX), Scorpion also found out that Bi-Han didn't actually killed Scorpion clan and family but rather it was Quan Chi in disguise AS Bi-Han. So Scorpion went out and killed Quan Chi in revenge AGAIN, which also was a success. After getting his revenge, he went back to Sub-Zero to make a truce with him and became a great allies/friends... almost like brothers in a way, too. And now they're great friends all throughout now
19:47 There IS a Marvel character with hair abilities! An inhuman and Black Bolt's wife, Medusa. Unless there's ANOTHER you're thinking of and I'm thinking TOO nerdy and obscure 😅
No it was definitely Medusa! I'm not super well read on Inhumans so Blackbolt and Kamala Kahn (I guess she's a mutant now though) are the only two that instantly spring to mind!
History behind the warrior is a UA-camr who has lore videos on every Mortal Kombat character, I reccomend you watch which ever one you're interested in.
Even funnier, John Claud played Guile in the live-action Street Fighter movie. Talk about Full circle. 🤣. In the previous timeline, Milleena was a construct of Shang Tsume's creation, in his flesh pits, with Kitanas and Tarkatan DNA. Kitana was to be replaced with Milleena, as Shao Khans' true daughter, one that he could be proud of, Kitana betrayed him and joined Rayden & Lui Kang side once she found out that Shao Khan hid this from her, his own step daughter.
Haha I was laughing my ass off when you said about (Motaro) "I ain't gonna lie bro looks like he belongs in Narnia" Because that was such a pain in the ass brutal boss fight during Mortal Kombat 3 when I was a kid. Saying he blongs in Narnia waa just too funny. That would be Awesome to follow your MK 1 story mode journey as I just watched all of your One Piece reactions as well which is how I found this channel.
@ChocolateKieran Nice! Unfortunately I'm on Xbox, but I live in Australia so the connection might not be too great to try anyway. Hahahaha that's allgood we all gotta get through the whoopins.
Just to add some Van Damme recommendations (I've seen all of his films): - Hard Target - Bloodsport - Double Impact - Lionheart - Cyborg - JCVD The newer one Lukas (aka The Bouncer) is pretty solid too. I'd also recommend Universal Soldier films (co starring Dolph Lundgren, Michael Jai White, Scott Adkins and Andrei Arlovsky); I am in minority, but my favorite one is Universal Soldier: Day of Redemption (imo one of the best lower budget action flicks ever; I'm a fan of Adkins too btw). But there's more fun films with him: Nowhere to Run, Kickboxer, Knock Off, Sudden Death, Maximum Risk, The Quest, In Hell and more. There's also a bunch of bad movies with him, especially after 2000. He also played main role in Street Fighter (based on the video game), the film is pretty bad, but has some redeeming qualities and fun dialogues.
I’m gonna post 2 comments to help give some much needed context and info. (Edit, this ended up being way longer than anticipated but I would also highly recommend you watch a video that includes the entire cutscene movie for MK 9, MK X, and MK 11 + Aftermath) This first post is about the story, MK1 is technically a second reboot of the Mortal Kombat series but it works as a sequel as well. The first 8 games from Midway (I’ll abbreviate Mortal Kombat to MK for short in the later installments): Mortal Kombat , Mortal Kombat II, Mortal Kombat 3 (it got 2 remakes in the form of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and MK Trilogy), MK 4, MK Deadly Alliance, MK Deception, and finally MK Armageddon. There’s also Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe that’s not the best installment but did pave the way for the Injustice series down the road. The first 3 games are considered as the classic arcade era while MK 4 through Armageddon are called the 3D era as that was where the series transitioned from 2D into 3D. The first reboot began with Mortal Kombat 9 simply titled Mortal Kombat, this takes place right after Armageddon and is called the modern era or NRS era (named after the studio Netherrealm Studios). MK 9 retells the events of the original Mortal Kombat arcade games up to MK3 with more fleshed out characters, character interactions, and a dramatic change in direction. Because MK 9 takes place after Armageddon, Raiden sent visions of all of the series of events that lead to Shao Kahn’s ultimate victory in Armageddon to himself in the past. Those visions made him change certain aspects that lead to alternate events such as Shao Kahn being permanently killed than being forced to retreat into hiding. Those changes also caused some events to either never happen, speed up, or change dramatically such as Kitana discovering Shang Tsung’s creations using her and Tarkartan DNA (in this timeline Tarkartans are their own race of demonic/mutant creatures) to creat her own clone named Mileena, the Lin Kuie were hunting some their own members to enforce them into to undergo the cyber initiative where they become androids (Smoke was one of those members who Raiden saved but Sub Zero was taken instead), and instead of Johnny Cage being killed during Shao Kahn’s invasion, every single one of Raiden’s champions were killed excluding Johnny and Sonya (this also caused the heroes to become evil undead revenants of themselves to serve Quan Chi, a demon sorcerer from the Netherrealm). MK 10, or MKX for short, picks up 25 years later after Shao Kahn’s death. The ending of MK 9 teased the return of a banished elder god named Shinnok from MK 4 and his conquest for total annihilation, MKX begins near the climax of his war where Johnny Cage became the one who defeated Shinnok, sealing him inside his own amulet which was a powerful weapon that can obliterate anything. Along the aftermath of Shinnok’s imprisonment, Raiden was able to revive Jax, Sub Zero, and Scorpion from their revenant lives during a manhunt for Quan Chi (they were the only ones present at the time to be rescued while the rest were still revenants). This installment also introduced the new generation, Cassie Cage (Johnny and Sonya’s daughter), Jacquie Briggs (Jax’s daughter), Kung Jin (Kung Lao’s cousin), and Takeda Takahashi (Kenshi’s son). A majority of this game is about the power struggle between Mileena and a new character named Kotal, who usurped Mileena from the throne and forced her to create her own army after Reptile and Ermac chose to rebel against her). It also introduced a bug lady named D’Vorah who not only took part in helping Kotal usurp Mileena but also worked as Quan Chi’s spy to take back Shinnok’s amulet and release him. There’s so much to explore about MKX but to summarize the ending, Scorpion was finally able to get his revenge by killing Quan Chi which also meant the heroes who remained as revenants stayed as revenants, Lui Kang and Kitana now ruled the Netherrealm as the undead King and Queen, Kotal Kahn became a more cold hearted ruler, and Raiden now took a dark path by being less sympathetic and more aggressive. That’s where MK 11 comes in and tries to undo everything. There are only 3 characters worth mentioning, Cetrion the Goddess of life and Shinnok’s sister, Gearas an immortal being who guards the hourglass that controls time, and Kronika a Titan of time who controls said hourglass and the mother of both Cetrion and Shinnok. The hourglass and Kronika’s crown are the only things that matter in MK 11’s story because the crown is needed to have full control over the hourglass while the hourglass itself acts as the mechanism for controlling both time and destiny. It was Kronika who brought back younger versions of familiar characters as a means of building her defenses for creating one final timeline that would’ve been perfect in her version of equilibrium between good and evil. Because Raiden changed things she had planned for her era, Kronika summoned her daughter to betray the elder gods she was a member of and used Gearas as a means of defending and gathering power for one final reset. That is where Raiden gave his Godhood status to Revenant Lui Kang in a means of purifying his soul after he devoured his own soul from the past (in short, Evil Liu Kang stole his own soul from the past when he was still alive). The end result is where Liu Kang, the fire god, becomes the new guardian of time and where MK 1 is set to continue.
All of the characters in the MK1 initial roster, whether they are playable or Kameo, have been in previous games before. Geras is technically the newest one out of them as he was introduced in MK11 (in fact he’s the only character from MK11 who is playable in MK1), whereas everyone else existed before. A good amount of these characters haven’t been in an actual game since MK Armageddon, such as Nitara, Ashrah, Darrius, Shujinko, etc. There have been some who were mentioned or shown before in the stories of MK9-11, though have not been playable. Li Mei and Sareena were shown for a short time in MKX, Motaro was shown briefly in MK9, and Havik was mentioned in MK11 Aftermath. Interestingly enough, this is also the first NRS game where Rain is part of the initial roster. He was DLC in MK9 and MK11, and while he was in the story of MKX, he was never playable in that game.
14:19 I won’t speak about the licenses everyone know them but the original aka old Kharacters are coming back as DLC are to left to right Quanchi from MK4 to MKX Ermac from MK3 to MKX and Takeda the son of Kenshi aka the blind guy with the katana is from MKX to well that the only game he appear the only Kharacter to return in MK11 was Cassie and Jaquie
37:05 right, so the originally, it wasn't a disease. Before Liu Akng reset the timeline and shapes inmt in his image, The Tarkatan were a race of people. Mileena was originally a clone of Mileena mixed with Tarkatan DNA, as an attempt to make someone like Mileena, but more bloodthristy and with the will to act as a sort of personal assassin. Liu kang kinda wmated to give everyone mroe of an equal chance, and doesn't seem to be capable of erasing people from timelines, so he removed factors and changed some origins
The guy who shows up with the taser (Stryker) is probably one of my favorite Mortal Kombat characters because he's literally JUST a street cop. He has no powers, he has no special abilities, he's literally just a cop who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up having to help save the world. Like even other characters with no special abilities like Sonya Blade and Jax at least have insane amounts of combat training + insane tech, this dudes just got a taser and a baton out here killing gods Also if you do want to catch up with the timeline, I recommend just playing 9, 10 and 11. 9 re-tells the story up to that point (mainly focusing on the first 4 games but iirc it also roughly goes through some of the other stuff), then 10 and 11 are original stories following the events of 9. It also helps you avoid playing some of the jankier games in the series, as much as I love MK, not all the games are gems lmfao
"Tanya looks familiar" idk to me she looks like Jada Pinkett Geras is some sort of golem who can manipulate time and the time sand he is made out of to serve the Keeper of Time (Kronika in MK11, Liu Kang in MK1) and defend the hourglass. He is immortal because he can resurrect every time he is killed, coming back stronger "I'll be a kickboxer, you a street fighter" Yes it is a reference to Street Fighter, only because JCVD appeared in the live action movie for it (he was Guile). Kickboxer is also one of his movies In previous timelines, Tarkatans were a race like any other that had been conquered by Shao Kahn. Kitana was Shao's stepdaughter whose father was killed and her realm was merged into outworld. Her disdain for Outworld and Shao made him ask Shang Tsung to clone her and Shang had made Mileena, a clone of Kitana with Tarkatan DNA, to compensate for her lack of viciousness and obedience. This time thanks to Liu Kang: they're twin sisters, Shao's power has been reduced to that of a general, Sindel is alive, benevolent and in charge, Shang is a petty oil salesman and Tarkatans are people afflicted with a disease. The game's official site has small bios for characters featured in trailers, checking those out should clear your confusions
i really dont know how well this would work in terms of reaction video content but even on your own time you should try and watch some like cutscene movie videos of the story modes for mk9 mkx mk11 and mk11s story dlc aftermath as a way to catch yourself up maybe
I've actually been thinking about that! Its so close tot he launch of MK1 that I won't have time to do it relaistically before I play it, so I might do it after to see if there's anything I catch and realise!
MK is 8 buttons and has been for years.. It’s not just attack buttons and hold back to block.. It’s designed with console and controller in mind, not arcade in mind like most other fighters and that’s probably the main reason it sells so much, it’s super accessible.. If devs of other fighters wanna catch up in terms of sales they have to modernise and forget about arcades.. Gaming is big these days, it wasn’t in the 90s.
Yeah I think I'm probably gonna end up liking how MK plays a lot mroe than SF if this is the case! I don't wanna use Modern controls on SF because of the draw backs but I'm still finding it hard to adjust back and force between a 6 pad layout and the regular dualsense
@@ChocolateKieran I’d never go out of my way to shit on other fighters, I don’t play them so I can’t, but the main reason I don’t play them is because everything is geared towards an arcade experience and that’s never been my thing and it’s barely anyones thing.. Some people can do it on controller but I just can’t.. If SF had a control scheme that fit controller I’d 100% play it because I do like it but their “modern controls” is a bit of a joke, a terrible way to try make the game more accessible, punished for using a control scheme that is easier to use on a controller? Why? Does playing on stick take more skill or something? No, it just means you have spent money and time on a stick unlike 99.9% of people who play games.. And the way they’ve done it is like a “errrrr you’re stupid, press one button”, no one wants one button gameplay, just something that works on a D-pad.. Remove diagonal inputs, simple as that, that’s all they had to do.. It’d make playing on controller ten times easier without affecting players who play on a stick at all and the “hardcore” fans would have no reason to cry.. It’s good they’re trying to modernise but they went about it I the wrong way.. I don’t think they understand what makes MK so popular, it’s not just the blood and tiddies, it’s the accessibility to the modern gamer who plays at home on a console, it’s 2023, they’re stuck in 1993..
Kieran. Do you really see movies? Or just forgot? In MK1 Skorpion has that face too/ There also other reference to same movie but you missed that too. Dude if you forgot it's kinda equals you didn't see it. You probably remember only theme
yeah I saw the first one YEARS AGO, I’ve seen at least 100 movies minimum since so I don’t remember the details. I was a kid when I watched that so you can’t expect me to remember haha
@@ChocolateKieran yuuuhhhhh, Btw you should get the premium edition cuz you get the game tomorrow instead of the 19th and you will get all the dlc a week before they release
Are you gonna get it today with premium because it’s your last day because tomorrow it drops for premium, or idk if u are gonna get it day one on the 19th

@ChocolateKieran you speak of Medusa from the inhumans from marvel
@@stanleywalker2361 YES!!!! Thank you so much, that was gonna bug me 😂
For when your ready for Kombat here’s some questions I noticed you had I’ll answer
Who is the grey Ninja?
That’s Smoke one of the original Lin Kuei warriors
Who was the guy with the battle axe?
That was General Shao who’s there version of M.Bison but who’s way scarier who originally goes by the name Shao Kahn
The Cyborgs in the Lin Kuei?
The yellow one is Cyrax his known for the net and the red one is Sektor Cyrax’s superior
Scorpion Skull?
His first fatality was called Toasty when he pulls of the mask and it turns into a skull because he was a warrior from the nether realm once was Earth realm but turned nether realm by being revived by Quan-Chi the guy on the far left in the Kombat pack 1 trailer with Omni-Man and Homelander
The guy who can rip his own arm of?
He was Havik known as the cleric of chaos once was in Chaos realm but hear his lives in order realm
One more thing you should probably know:
The skeleton army are known as the Immortal Army because they were skeletons they can’t die and there master the Dragon King was over throned by Shao by poison but will he return?
I'm the mortal Kombat conquest series the great Kung Lao had a love interest called Jen so it's a double ref

Yes. Please play the story! Your reactions and commentary is really entertaining!

There are tree types of like brutal tings

You can differentiate them bye looking at sometimg the fatality and brutality is when you like you remove body parts from your opponent and the fatal blow is when you dont remove body parts

LOL, tell me I was lying though! Hahaha
Im not into MK like that but I can see the hype in this trailers
I think these trailers fully got me into MK not gonna lie, like I'm actually mad excited for the games right now!
You really should react to the MK lore to get up to speed, you showed a lot of gaps in MK knowledge in this video alone. It could possibly distract you from enjoying this new story when you play it. I'd recommed "The Komplete History of Mortal Kombat" playlist by MK Temple, It's really thorough and I think it's the most accurate and complete with the lore.
That Dave Bautista ad was a reference to the very first MK game ad, with a ginger kid screaming MORTAL KOMBAT and then random people start walking to the strees to scream too
WAIT, is that why that ginger guy was staring at me?! LOL
YES! LOL@@ChocolateKieran
You should really play the story mode and also online, would like to see that for sure
Yeah that's DEFINITELY happening!
Van Damme's line about Street Fighter is most likely because he was in the movie. He was also in a movie called Kick Boxer, also in that line. So if anything I think it's a dig at his own past films :D
36:56.
Past timeline Mileena was created by Shang Tsung as a clone from Kitana’s genetics, they share blood but they’re not actual sisters in a way. The “disease” was also an actual race of a tribe in outworld… so Mileena only happened via cross genetics sorcery
This new Mk1 timeline Mileena and Kitana are actual twin sisters and the Tarkatan race are now Tarkat disease that seems to be contagious in a way, as of now due to unknown reason, Mileena got the disease and her family are trying to keep that secrets from the public so it doesn’t jeopardize her being an inheritance daughter of the next throne
I recommend watching History behind the warrior. They give full breakdowns on character's histories and what they're about
Liu Kang's brutality is basically "I'm banishing you to the shadow realm" but in a whole 'nother level.
the scorpion cameo that can turn into a skeleton is because thats the revenant version who is serving quan chi. So hes like an undead hellspawn basically (also the OG scorpion fatality was he ripped is own face off to reveal a flaming skull and used flame breath to incinerate his opponent.
Recently started watching your vids and I enjoy your channel a lot bro 👍
I appreciate that bro, thank you!
This new timeline pretty much changed everything and their lore. Previously, Tarkartans were not a disease but a race itself. Milenna was just a clone made by Shang Tsung (the sorcerer from the last trailer) from kitanna and Tarkartan DNA. New timeline, Milenna is not a clone but an actual sister. Probably someone poisoned her so that she would get Tarkat
17:10 "why is Scorpion Jesus?"
Can't lie that cracked me up when I was editing it, the timing caught me off guard LOL
they joke about jean claude sayin ill be the kickboxer you be the streetfighter is that he was in a movie named Kickboxer and the Streetfighter movie
Yeah I only realised during the premiere when somebody brough up that "Kickboxer" is one of his movies, the only movie I know for a fact I've seen him in is the Street Fighter one hahaha
Smoke has been in previous games but I've really only seen the robot version since I only played the most recent ones. They're bringing him back to a traditional ninja in this though which is cool!
Human in MK9 but got fucked up by Sindel
10:35 I recommend you to the MK chronology if you want to know about all the realms and mk lore
A few years ago, I was watching blood sport when jcvd did the nut punch. I was all like “oh shit he did Johnny cages move!” Until my friend said “no, Johnny does jcvd’s move”
Yes I’m so glad the launch dropped today and allowed you to see it
Thank you so much for keeping me updated on that by the way you legend! Appreciate it a ton
@@ChocolateKieranmaybe me and you can play some mk1 matches after it comes out
@@carterbrown-he1qr BET! Sounds good to me! 😁
9:45 they said that they have to kinda make it that way for them to be able to basically continue making the game lol
Sounds like you have a lot of catching up to do. It seems like you are somewhat familiar with the most well known, core characters but there's a lot of characters that you aren't aware of or familiar with and I would recommend going over the storylines of the last few games at least. Also they are bringing back some of the characters from the MK4-MK Armageddon era so going back and checking out those games will also give you some good context as well.
As far as the realms go, as far as I'm aware of there's Edenia which was merged with Outworld after losing the Mortal Kombat tournament 10 times in a row, then there's Earthrealm, the Netherrealm (aka Hell), Order realm and Chaos Realm.
The Lin Kuei is the clan of Sub Zero and Smoke. In the original timeline Scorpion (Hanzo Hasashi) was a member of the Shirai-Ryu, but in this timeline he's the literal brother of Sub-zero and also a member of the Lin Kuei. Rain isn't a ninja but a prince of Edenia and the illegitimate son of a god which is where he gets his powers from as a half god himself, in this timeline Liu Kang has rewritten him to be a sorcerer
Lol that was the Chain fists Not Speed bag 😂
The "ninjas" of the original 2D games were really only "ninjas" through necessity of the times to buff up the roster, ie. palette-swapping. Scorpion was the only one that's a ninja in the actual lore, though the Lin Kuei borrow a good few tropes and tactics of their own, especially Smoke in later games compared to his brethren. When they moved to 3D and beyond, they went to great lengths to differentiate all the other "ninja" characters into what they were originally envisioned, Rain being a noble prince, Reptile as... a reptile, etc.
21:15 he's still completely able to attack without his axe
10:35 there are 6 main realms in total
Earthrealm, Netherrealm, Outworld, Orderrealm, Chaosrealm, and Edenia. At some point in the timeline, Edenia merged with outworld, so technically there are 5 main realms. It is unknown if the two are still merged or not in this new timeline.
There are several other realms that exist, but they are either not cannon or mini realms
Ay, i recommend also checking the first 17 min of MK 1!
I’m gonna play the game myself so I don’t wanna spoil myself 😁
The x-rays are called fatal blows (previously called as x-rays in mk9 and mkx), they're not fatalities but think of it as rage burst from tekken 7 or super special moves
Fatalities on the other hand are just finishers with style and they only work at the end of a match
As for Kameo Scorpion being a skeleton, he's Hanzo Hasashi from the previous timelines (MK1-MK11). The reason he's like that is because he was killed by Bi-Han (Sub-Zero) but revived as a revenant by Quan-Chi.
As for MK1 Scorpion, he's now Kuai Liang who was previously the 2nd Sub-Zero in the previous timeline.
MK storyline is deeper and complicated, I'd recommend at least watch the complete timeline videos on youtube or start from MK9-MK11😅
34:50 Geras watches over the hour glass, but Liu Kang is the keeper of time
Kung loa: go before I put you down 2seconds later gets beat up
Ey, notice me pls im trying to explain
-The one who regenerates and has a missing skin on his mouth
[Havik]
-the one who is bald like kratos
[Quan chi]
-the one with the mask at The dlc trailer
[Shang Tsung]
And correction for Scorpion who is a skeleton
[He was Hanzo hasashi, Previously on mk11. and the present Scorpion beside Sub-Zero is Kuai Liang, Sub-Zero's brother]
The one whose powers are a smoke
[Smoke, yes his literal name is smoke]
A tip for kombos that helped me is input them all before the animation plays not after sometimes that can be difficult because of the short animation that that you have to input the rest of the kombo or at least the next few clicks before it ends
Now you gotta react to the fatal blows and fatalities, since it’s out now
MK1 storymode playthrough would earn a sub.
Better run that sub then, because thats the plan! Hahaha, I'm excited to check outt he story for this!
Ngl, i think you should watch some sort MK lore/story from like Scorpion on what you said
Which i will give a lil backstory on him (i may get some things wrong, been awhile since then)
Scorpion was a normal human ninja that was part of a another clan called the Shirai Ryu. But later having the "Lin Kuei" ambush killing all of Scorpion clan and family, including him too
But when he was in the NetherRealm, he seeked out vengeance for his clan and family. Thats when he made a lil deal with Quan Chi to be basically like Ghost Rider like you said and get revenge, so then he joined the Mortal Kombat tourny in MK9 to get revenge for what happened, he did....
But the wrong Sub-Zero, who he killed was the Brother of one of them named Bi-Han (aka now known as Noob Saibot). Soon, the other brother (i think his name was Tundra or something like i heard in MK9 story) was told that his brother got killed by Scorpion, he wanted revenge for his brother. But after awhile and mix ups and fighting or whatever (skip over to MKX), Scorpion also found out that Bi-Han didn't actually killed Scorpion clan and family but rather it was Quan Chi in disguise AS Bi-Han. So Scorpion went out and killed Quan Chi in revenge AGAIN, which also was a success. After getting his revenge, he went back to Sub-Zero to make a truce with him and became a great allies/friends... almost like brothers in a way, too. And now they're great friends all throughout now
19:47 There IS a Marvel character with hair abilities! An inhuman and Black Bolt's wife, Medusa. Unless there's ANOTHER you're thinking of and I'm thinking TOO nerdy and obscure 😅
No it was definitely Medusa! I'm not super well read on Inhumans so Blackbolt and Kamala Kahn (I guess she's a mutant now though) are the only two that instantly spring to mind!
The 3 part staff Tanya has is giving Maki/Toji and I love it🥹
YOOOO, thats true! My JJK GOATS!
Sadly i wasnt on the Premiere but on the stream and also the guy at 14:24 at the right was takeda hes the son of kenshi but he also was in mkx
On god ima grind the invasion and the story and learn combos neo
The characters you thought are new are not most of them are from the 3d era of mortal kombat
History behind the warrior is a UA-camr who has lore videos on every Mortal Kombat character, I reccomend you watch which ever one you're interested in.
10:30 the realms are Earthrealm,NetherRealm and Outworld.
There are few more but they are not important (outside of chaos and orderrelm)
@@ihavenoidea1304 i forgot about those
@@iAmGh0St3dcant blame you, they are not even mentioned since MK deception.
So just so he knows Liu kang is the keeper of time. but geras is put in charge of guarding the hourglass.
Jcvd is a skin for Johnny cage because originally cage was made after jcvd but they didn’t have the budget for him in the 90s
Even funnier, John Claud played Guile in the live-action Street Fighter movie. Talk about Full circle. 🤣. In the previous timeline, Milleena was a construct of Shang Tsume's creation, in his flesh pits, with Kitanas and Tarkatan DNA. Kitana was to be replaced with Milleena, as Shao Khans' true daughter, one that he could be proud of, Kitana betrayed him and joined Rayden & Lui Kang side once she found out that Shao Khan hid this from her, his own step daughter.
He has a long way to go with the mortal Kombat lore😭
Haha I was laughing my ass off when you said about (Motaro) "I ain't gonna lie bro looks like he belongs in Narnia" Because that was such a pain in the ass brutal boss fight during Mortal Kombat 3 when I was a kid. Saying he blongs in Narnia waa just too funny.
That would be Awesome to follow your MK 1 story mode journey as I just watched all of your One Piece reactions as well which is how I found this channel.
you thought Johnny had one oh boy you'll never wanna see Sub-Zero's skin on MK11
“Why is Scorpion…Jeeesus” 17:10
What would you be playing on? PS5, Xbox, or PC? Would be cool to challenge people in your chat 😁
PS5, I'll definitely be challenging ANd getting clapped by everybody in chat!
@ChocolateKieran Nice! Unfortunately I'm on Xbox, but I live in Australia so the connection might not be too great to try anyway. Hahahaha that's allgood we all gotta get through the whoopins.
Just to add some Van Damme recommendations (I've seen all of his films):
- Hard Target
- Bloodsport
- Double Impact
- Lionheart
- Cyborg
- JCVD
The newer one Lukas (aka The Bouncer) is pretty solid too. I'd also recommend Universal Soldier films (co starring Dolph Lundgren, Michael Jai White, Scott Adkins and Andrei Arlovsky); I am in minority, but my favorite one is Universal Soldier: Day of Redemption (imo one of the best lower budget action flicks ever; I'm a fan of Adkins too btw).
But there's more fun films with him: Nowhere to Run, Kickboxer, Knock Off, Sudden Death, Maximum Risk, The Quest, In Hell and more. There's also a bunch of bad movies with him, especially after 2000. He also played main role in Street Fighter (based on the video game), the film is pretty bad, but has some redeeming qualities and fun dialogues.
I’m gonna post 2 comments to help give some much needed context and info.
(Edit, this ended up being way longer than anticipated but I would also highly recommend you watch a video that includes the entire cutscene movie for MK 9, MK X, and MK 11 + Aftermath)
This first post is about the story, MK1 is technically a second reboot of the Mortal Kombat series but it works as a sequel as well. The first 8 games from Midway (I’ll abbreviate Mortal Kombat to MK for short in the later installments): Mortal Kombat , Mortal Kombat II, Mortal Kombat 3 (it got 2 remakes in the form of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and MK Trilogy), MK 4, MK Deadly Alliance, MK Deception, and finally MK Armageddon. There’s also Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe that’s not the best installment but did pave the way for the Injustice series down the road. The first 3 games are considered as the classic arcade era while MK 4 through Armageddon are called the 3D era as that was where the series transitioned from 2D into 3D.
The first reboot began with Mortal Kombat 9 simply titled Mortal Kombat, this takes place right after Armageddon and is called the modern era or NRS era (named after the studio Netherrealm Studios). MK 9 retells the events of the original Mortal Kombat arcade games up to MK3 with more fleshed out characters, character interactions, and a dramatic change in direction. Because MK 9 takes place after Armageddon, Raiden sent visions of all of the series of events that lead to Shao Kahn’s ultimate victory in Armageddon to himself in the past. Those visions made him change certain aspects that lead to alternate events such as Shao Kahn being permanently killed than being forced to retreat into hiding. Those changes also caused some events to either never happen, speed up, or change dramatically such as Kitana discovering Shang Tsung’s creations using her and Tarkartan DNA (in this timeline Tarkartans are their own race of demonic/mutant creatures) to creat her own clone named Mileena, the Lin Kuie were hunting some their own members to enforce them into to undergo the cyber initiative where they become androids (Smoke was one of those members who Raiden saved but Sub Zero was taken instead), and instead of Johnny Cage being killed during Shao Kahn’s invasion, every single one of Raiden’s champions were killed excluding Johnny and Sonya (this also caused the heroes to become evil undead revenants of themselves to serve Quan Chi, a demon sorcerer from the Netherrealm).
MK 10, or MKX for short, picks up 25 years later after Shao Kahn’s death. The ending of MK 9 teased the return of a banished elder god named Shinnok from MK 4 and his conquest for total annihilation, MKX begins near the climax of his war where Johnny Cage became the one who defeated Shinnok, sealing him inside his own amulet which was a powerful weapon that can obliterate anything. Along the aftermath of Shinnok’s imprisonment, Raiden was able to revive Jax, Sub Zero, and Scorpion from their revenant lives during a manhunt for Quan Chi (they were the only ones present at the time to be rescued while the rest were still revenants). This installment also introduced the new generation, Cassie Cage (Johnny and Sonya’s daughter), Jacquie Briggs (Jax’s daughter), Kung Jin (Kung Lao’s cousin), and Takeda Takahashi (Kenshi’s son). A majority of this game is about the power struggle between Mileena and a new character named Kotal, who usurped Mileena from the throne and forced her to create her own army after Reptile and Ermac chose to rebel against her). It also introduced a bug lady named D’Vorah who not only took part in helping Kotal usurp Mileena but also worked as Quan Chi’s spy to take back Shinnok’s amulet and release him.
There’s so much to explore about MKX but to summarize the ending, Scorpion was finally able to get his revenge by killing Quan Chi which also meant the heroes who remained as revenants stayed as revenants, Lui Kang and Kitana now ruled the Netherrealm as the undead King and Queen, Kotal Kahn became a more cold hearted ruler, and Raiden now took a dark path by being less sympathetic and more aggressive. That’s where MK 11 comes in and tries to undo everything. There are only 3 characters worth mentioning, Cetrion the Goddess of life and Shinnok’s sister, Gearas an immortal being who guards the hourglass that controls time, and Kronika a Titan of time who controls said hourglass and the mother of both Cetrion and Shinnok. The hourglass and Kronika’s crown are the only things that matter in MK 11’s story because the crown is needed to have full control over the hourglass while the hourglass itself acts as the mechanism for controlling both time and destiny. It was Kronika who brought back younger versions of familiar characters as a means of building her defenses for creating one final timeline that would’ve been perfect in her version of equilibrium between good and evil. Because Raiden changed things she had planned for her era, Kronika summoned her daughter to betray the elder gods she was a member of and used Gearas as a means of defending and gathering power for one final reset. That is where Raiden gave his Godhood status to Revenant Lui Kang in a means of purifying his soul after he devoured his own soul from the past (in short, Evil Liu Kang stole his own soul from the past when he was still alive). The end result is where Liu Kang, the fire god, becomes the new guardian of time and where MK 1 is set to continue.
All of the characters in the MK1 initial roster, whether they are playable or Kameo, have been in previous games before. Geras is technically the newest one out of them as he was introduced in MK11 (in fact he’s the only character from MK11 who is playable in MK1), whereas everyone else existed before.
A good amount of these characters haven’t been in an actual game since MK Armageddon, such as Nitara, Ashrah, Darrius, Shujinko, etc. There have been some who were mentioned or shown before in the stories of MK9-11, though have not been playable. Li Mei and Sareena were shown for a short time in MKX, Motaro was shown briefly in MK9, and Havik was mentioned in MK11 Aftermath.
Interestingly enough, this is also the first NRS game where Rain is part of the initial roster. He was DLC in MK9 and MK11, and while he was in the story of MKX, he was never playable in that game.
14:19 I won’t speak about the licenses everyone know them but the original aka old Kharacters are coming back as DLC are to left to right Quanchi from MK4 to MKX Ermac from MK3 to MKX and Takeda the son of Kenshi aka the blind guy with the katana is from MKX to well that the only game he appear the only Kharacter to return in MK11 was Cassie and Jaquie
37:05 right, so the originally, it wasn't a disease. Before Liu Akng reset the timeline and shapes inmt in his image, The Tarkatan were a race of people. Mileena was originally a clone of Mileena mixed with Tarkatan DNA, as an attempt to make someone like Mileena, but more bloodthristy and with the will to act as a sort of personal assassin. Liu kang kinda wmated to give everyone mroe of an equal chance, and doesn't seem to be capable of erasing people from timelines, so he removed factors and changed some origins
The guy who shows up with the taser (Stryker) is probably one of my favorite Mortal Kombat characters because he's literally JUST a street cop. He has no powers, he has no special abilities, he's literally just a cop who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up having to help save the world. Like even other characters with no special abilities like Sonya Blade and Jax at least have insane amounts of combat training + insane tech, this dudes just got a taser and a baton out here killing gods
Also if you do want to catch up with the timeline, I recommend just playing 9, 10 and 11. 9 re-tells the story up to that point (mainly focusing on the first 4 games but iirc it also roughly goes through some of the other stuff), then 10 and 11 are original stories following the events of 9. It also helps you avoid playing some of the jankier games in the series, as much as I love MK, not all the games are gems lmfao
I really love the MK characters but SF just has such better gameplay I find them hard to get into.
Ohh i'm super excited to try out MK and see how I feel comparitvely now...
"Tanya looks familiar" idk to me she looks like Jada Pinkett
Geras is some sort of golem who can manipulate time and the time sand he is made out of to serve the Keeper of Time (Kronika in MK11, Liu Kang in MK1) and defend the hourglass. He is immortal because he can resurrect every time he is killed, coming back stronger
"I'll be a kickboxer, you a street fighter" Yes it is a reference to Street Fighter, only because JCVD appeared in the live action movie for it (he was Guile). Kickboxer is also one of his movies
In previous timelines, Tarkatans were a race like any other that had been conquered by Shao Kahn. Kitana was Shao's stepdaughter whose father was killed and her realm was merged into outworld. Her disdain for Outworld and Shao made him ask Shang Tsung to clone her and Shang had made Mileena, a clone of Kitana with Tarkatan DNA, to compensate for her lack of viciousness and obedience. This time thanks to Liu Kang: they're twin sisters, Shao's power has been reduced to that of a general, Sindel is alive, benevolent and in charge, Shang is a petty oil salesman and Tarkatans are people afflicted with a disease.
The game's official site has small bios for characters featured in trailers, checking those out should clear your confusions

The names of the segments may possibly be messed up
Oh I think UA-cam segmented them automatically, so that's probably why LOL
i really dont know how well this would work in terms of reaction video content but even on your own time you should try and watch some like cutscene movie videos of the story modes for mk9 mkx mk11 and mk11s story dlc aftermath as a way to catch yourself up maybe
I've actually been thinking about that! Its so close tot he launch of MK1 that I won't have time to do it relaistically before I play it, so I might do it after to see if there's anything I catch and realise!
22:50, yes she's the mother
MK is 8 buttons and has been for years.. It’s not just attack buttons and hold back to block.. It’s designed with console and controller in mind, not arcade in mind like most other fighters and that’s probably the main reason it sells so much, it’s super accessible.. If devs of other fighters wanna catch up in terms of sales they have to modernise and forget about arcades.. Gaming is big these days, it wasn’t in the 90s.
Yeah I think I'm probably gonna end up liking how MK plays a lot mroe than SF if this is the case! I don't wanna use Modern controls on SF because of the draw backs but I'm still finding it hard to adjust back and force between a 6 pad layout and the regular dualsense
@@ChocolateKieran I’d never go out of my way to shit on other fighters, I don’t play them so I can’t, but the main reason I don’t play them is because everything is geared towards an arcade experience and that’s never been my thing and it’s barely anyones thing..
Some people can do it on controller but I just can’t.. If SF had a control scheme that fit controller I’d 100% play it because I do like it but their “modern controls” is a bit of a joke, a terrible way to try make the game more accessible, punished for using a control scheme that is easier to use on a controller? Why? Does playing on stick take more skill or something? No, it just means you have spent money and time on a stick unlike 99.9% of people who play games.. And the way they’ve done it is like a “errrrr you’re stupid, press one button”, no one wants one button gameplay, just something that works on a D-pad.. Remove diagonal inputs, simple as that, that’s all they had to do.. It’d make playing on controller ten times easier without affecting players who play on a stick at all and the “hardcore” fans would have no reason to cry.. It’s good they’re trying to modernise but they went about it I the wrong way.. I don’t think they understand what makes MK so popular, it’s not just the blood and tiddies, it’s the accessibility to the modern gamer who plays at home on a console, it’s 2023, they’re stuck in 1993..
Kieran. Do you really see movies? Or just forgot? In MK1 Skorpion has that face too/ There also other reference to same movie but you missed that too. Dude if you forgot it's kinda equals you didn't see it. You probably remember only theme
