The perfect game would be MK9 Roster with MKX style gameplay and MK11 Graphics with the darker vibe of the older games and rich content and full customization.
I personally hated the whole 'turning the old cast into evil zombies' thing terrible and the only redeeming feature of MK11 was undoing that, I just don't see what they have against classic characters that they refuse to let them go on before tearing them down ever since Deadly Alliance where Kung Lao should've won the tournament but instead got forever sidelined.
Yeah the whole revenant thing isn’t my cup of tea, they should just let characters die if they want to kill them off, bringing them back as revenants is just a cheap way to ‘kill’ off a character but still bring them back so fans aren’t mad, it’s kind of a weird half step
I think it *could* have worked especially for Liu Kang who shoulda been the main bad guy in MK11 they just dropped the ball big time and wasted the revenants as characters
there’s a way to work around all that and still have them as revenants but it’s just the fact they didn’t do jack shit with the idea so it just ended up being a stupid story thing
I believe MK X is superior. Its peak performance and balance set it apart. Although MK 1 had its moments with Invasion and Khaos Reigns, it fell short overall. As a Mortal Kombat fan, I consider MK 1 rushed and underdeveloped, something NRS should have addressed. While others commend MK 11, and I liked it briefly, MK X is my preference, consistently delivering fun.
Could’ve have said it better myself, I think if they cooked on mk1 for another year and added more stuff to do and maybe a krypt, it could be top 3 mk of all time imo

NRS games goes like this: MK9 > MKX > MK11 > MK1 Nothing has beaten the 2v2 mode and challenge towers from MK9 Best game in the franchise overall belongs to Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. The mainline games are a wonder to witness but that damn beat ‘em up co-op game is peak mk gaming in terms of gameplay mechanics and story mode. Get to play as Sub-Zero & Scorpion. Hidden smoke missions! They have MK2 as a secret game to play and you can do versus played out like a power stone game.
I was 14 an half saved up money bought this game on release day, was such a hype playing everyday all day even before going to school butt i struggled to master the fast gameplay so i decided to fully try and learn scorpion and a bit of kitana, i have tried playing it recently and my frustration is same as my 14 year old self but the gameplay is fun and gave made me a bit of nostalgic feeling tbh great video too mate
I like Cassie but Cassie Cage was a Mary Sue girlboss who somehow defeats Shinnok despite her taking the most Ls against the other fighters throughout the story mode until it's her chapter lol. Would've been better if Earthrealm and Outworld teamed up to battle Shinnok and defeat him.
My cousins and I are MK diehards. We have been playing MK games together for over 20 years. Put countless hours in basically every single release from the sega genesis to the modern era. When MK9 came out, it blew our minds. To finally have back 2D MK was incredible, and the tag team mode was perfect for all of us to play at the same time. The gameplay was fantastic. MKX came out, and while we were disappointed in the lack of tag team, but the gameplay was so good, we were able to forgive it and enjoy it. Those 2 games are the peak of the franchise, and we'll still occasionally debate on which one is superior. Even without having the deep lore and unique vibes of the 3D era or even the initial 2D era, those games made up for it just with the gameplay itself. MK11 was an immediate disappointment. That game was just lacking the proper soul similar to what MKX and MK9 had. We tried so hard to like it but, we couldn't. MK1 was no better. Too many people focus only on what has the "best graphics" and what's new, instead of having the best gameplay or actually being interesting. Modern MK is so lame and boring. A shadow of what it use to be. I hope that one day MK can be actually good again. But, since it's selling so well despite being a shadow of it's former self, I have my doubts.
Graphics aren't bad for a 2015 game and While I like the gritty and darker vibe they were going for I agree that it has a muted color palette than MK9, MK9 has a better aesthetic. The game needs a remaster to give a fresh touch-up on not just the overall visuals but the models and other various fixes imo.
36:53 all of the characters who aren't on the roster had their animations imported from mk9 when it comes to their moves, they were just touched up a tiny bit, so they weren't exactly new animations
Only just dawned on me, most of the endings, except the ones where an alternate winner against Shinnok is explicitly shown, are canon. Well, ideally would've been canon before MK11 brushed over most of them haha. Some carry connected narratives similar to MK1's endings. Pretty cool aspect. Really makes one think about how MK11 would've gone if it was a more direct sequel to MKX. Tons of interesting concepts such as Raiden now invading the other realms with Scorpion as his champion. Quan Chi technically becoming the champion of the elder gods like Scorpion did in the original timeline. The resurrection of Shang Tsung. Reptile, Kenshi and Takeda having gone on their own separate quests hence why they're likely not present in MK11, Kung Lao having been cured from the revenant status, etc. I think the only ending I don't like is Predator's as it's waayyyy out of character for a Yautja to become a Konquerer that decimates worlds and doesn't take trophies, unless its implying he got corrupted like Raiden because of Shinnok's amulet, or that he became a bad blood hunter. About MK1's gameplay, it's weird cos you can tell they maybe wanted variations again or a semblence of them not only because of the kameo mixups but also some characters do have a style change in the middle of the match, especially Kenshi and maybe Noob (Embrace Khaos is more of an enhancer that leaves you Saibot-less after it's used up so you end up playing without the shadow double), and in other cases like Takeda where his moveset is clearly a hybrid of all his MKX Variations. I definitely agree though, it'd be neat if real-time move styles/variations like in the 3D era came back. I do wanna correct the Krypt section, MK1's shrine doesn't require you to spend IRL money, although it is pretty lacking in content, by the time you gain a LOT of coins from Invasions mode you basically unlock most if not all of the skins, gear, concept, profile banners and art, and as of recent Brutalities. I understand the complaint about the microtransactions but they've really learned from the criticisms and backlash the fandom threw to the point they were practically giving out free skins on the lead up to khaos reigns + the update for it giving out tons of free content too (even to those who did not buy the DLC), as well as making Invasions a more fun experience (well, subjective.) in comparison to it's early days. Amazing video dude, I love your content and glad to see another MK vid, your very direct, funny and aggressive style is charming and appealing. I wonder what the title of your MK1 video will be haha (MK1 is better than MK1 ok just kidding lol.) PS: Funfact, due to mods allowing you to play as the NPC exclusive characters (Rain, Story Tanya, Sindel, etc.), it was found that Baraka is compatible with some of Alien's moves, so yeah he definitely lives on with the Xeno.
I never understood why they moved away from the MKX and MK9 gameplay style. MK11 and MK1 feel so slow, it's like they are afraid to turn up the speed of the game.
Mortal Kombat 1, or Mortal Kombat Strive as I like to call it proves that fighting games might actually have the worst monetization along with MOBA. 1. Mobile tier microtransactions in a full priced game. 2. Over reliance on dlc, often revealed way before release. 3. Games only have 1v1 PvP. 4. Your expected to learn by labbing in training for 5000 hours while constantly researching some loser’s wiki for every hit’s data. 5. Games die out super quick because only nolifers play online 6. Matchmaking or netcode is always broken Evo was a mistake.
As much as I love Liu Kang as a character, in MK1 I think he made Sektor into an angsty, overly ambitious tech-girl who happens to be in love with this timeline’s angsty edgelord of a “grandmaster” (Kuai Liang/Sub-Zero is much more dignified than current Bi-Han is Noob Saibot or not). Meaning that these two couples wouldn’t be taken seriously now. Also is it just me or is this Sektor more whinier than Frost?
You have to recharge the grenades in Demolition variation for Sonya. You have 3 grenades to use and if you use all of them then you have to reload them to get more.
The Dualist spheres have to be paused mid-flight with the same input and they detonate after some time. It's a setup variation just like Master of Storms.
I completely agree! It's definitely the better one of the most recent 3 games. I always go back to this one it's just awesome and had the best characters
There was a massive large snow storm back in the day, so everyone was inside. So what do you do during a snow storm? Play Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. MKDA was the most played MK game. Even people who dont follow the series of MK played that game. Not because of how cool the game is, but because everyone was stuck inside.
Johnny deadass looks like the postal dude at 7:00 also MK11 100% should've been the mortal kombat tournament from the perspective of outworld trying to get emperor raiden off their asses. MKX endings are almost all bangers
If I had to rank all the Mortal Kombat games I’ve played, it would look like this (Might be controversial): 1. Mortal Kombat X 2. Mortal Kombat 1 3. Mortal Kombat Trilogy 4. Mortal Kombat 11
These are just Facts. Anyone who disagrees ( even though you said it's fine to disagree ) They are Coping Massively. MKX is EXCELLENT! MK1 is Doo Doo butter cheeks.
Hello Steele, i click on you video because i on 90% agree with you statement at beginning. MKX is like smaller but "better" brother of MK9. For example i think story mode is slightly better in MKX, because i was really dissapointed from "tournament storyline" - it was too short and could have actually fill full story mode (that why 1st story of MK9 is great and do that i would like to see in MK9. Also i kinda hate game mechanisms of MK1 - Rounds seems to be shorter and more blank, cameo system is annoying because you canť turn off so its no 1v1 (MK11 do it better by temporal bonuses which you can CHOOSE to use, not being FORCED as core mechanic) and also absence of variations makes a characters fights poorer and meh - in MK11 you can even "make your own". Also MKX has better roster including DLC characters. Is kinda weird that Kenshi, Raiden and Lui Kang are reason why i have 10% of liking MK1 - due to New Era version are nicely done (Raiden as humble polite boy who gets "god powers", Kenshi tragically lost his eyes and his relationship with Johnny is good, Lui Kang is sympathetic as usual and now even non-hefty god). Why is it weird? Because overall most of game SUB-ZERO is my most favourite character, MK1 Sub-Zero is "decent-ish" but MKX and MK11 do him more fun to play and watch in both story modes and multiplayers. Also some choices as make Cyrax and Sektor womans is kinda weird and not talking about Janet Cage. Sorry but other canon womans are better than this - except DVorah - i hate her most of all exist characters. BTW: My most favourite MKX character variation is: Lui Kang (Dualist) and Takeda (Lasher) So i agree with you, MKX is better than MK1 but i think MK9 and MKX are slightly equal PEAK. Good video and i like that explaining into details. Also will you do MK11 is better than MK1? Have a great day
41:25 I would've laughed so hard if I heard you mentioned that Kitana has hands-down the STUPIDEST looking crouching kick NRS has ever made XD ....Also I came here for the Daddy Baraka jokes (Though I'm more of a Reptile simp because I like scalies too much)
The only thing i agree about MK1 is that the fighting paste is a little bit faster then 11. Not too fast that you'll get stuck in the corner in 3 secs not too slow that almost every move is blocked.
0:52. You were 11 when the game came out so the story in the "Netherrealm" era was objectively looked at as just plain bad. Back in the day the story for all the 3D games were fairly decent and didn't leave too many unresolved cliffhangers out to dry and wither; can't speak for the Arcade era tho. Wasn't around that early lol
MKX is definitely not a better MK game than MK1. MK1's content, even now, is severely lacking compared to MKX and the terrible microtransactional practices that have been exhibited by WB have reached an all-time peak with MK1 vs. with MKX. But MKX's gameplay was so one-dimensional that it only lasted 2 years in tournament before its entire scene moved on to the next game. In short, MKX was Unga-Bunga Kombat wherein any scrubby player could jump-in/run-up/use interactable to mix or pressure people to death. Bojutsu Kung Jin is a prime example of this, along with Tanya, Alien, Predator, Jason, Shinnok, Ermac, Erron Black and about a dozen other characters that I'm forgetting now. Tekken 8 is currently dealing with the ramifications of those kinds of unga-bunga mechanics being added to a game in an effort to appease viewers rather than long-time players, especially those that mastered staple defensive skills like KBD and side-stepping. The best FGs have a natural ebb and flow of offense vs. defense; players jockeying for a favorable position in the neutral and landing a hit or whiff on the opponent. MKX upended all of that in favor of non-stop offense and 50/50 mixups. Also, MKX looked rubbery and cold, animations were horribly stiff and unnatural, the story was a terribly hot mess, the main characters of the game were unnecessary and under-developed, much like Cole Young in the 2021 MK movie. And then, when you try to go back and enjoy the game the way that long-time players like myself used to do with all MK games and play the Arcade mode, you either have to deal with a CPU that is either entirely too easy to defeat or one that input reads worse than the arcade MK2 CPU ever did and kills the fun out of the experience. At least MKX introduced GGPO to MK fans! MKX's Variation System was at its peak in this game and there were lots and lots of combos per character. But MK1 has it beaten in combo accessibility and variety, not to mention, having 20 Kameos means that each character essentially has 20 Variations - and even if only a quarter of those variations are worth a damn, it's still 2 more for a single character than what MKX offered. By all means, feel free to love what you love. MKX will never be the game that MK9 was - that MK was a masterpiece in terms of gameplay and fun factor. But I will never argue that MK9 was a better game package than MKX was because it wasn't. Nor will I argue that MK9 was a better-balanced MK than MKX because that isn't true either. I simply prefer MK9 to MKX, along with every other NRS title. MKX is much better remembered for the legacy that it added to Mortal Kombat - whether it's the addition of rollback netcode, Brutalities, character intros and Variations of characters - than it is for its actual gameplay. MK1 definitely has lots of catching up to do in terms of its content, but it has already surpassed MKX and MK11 in the areas that matter the most - story and gameplay. And it's only adding more content over time and thus improving.
Mkx is peak modern MK yes. When my only true xomplaint thats a make or break is that their's too many third party DLC characters? Like alien and predator? Of course you gotta have them fight but leather face? Could have had noob or somethin but i digress. Megar complaint in the grand scheme of things
In me there were 4 third party character but mk9 had a good bit too. Scarlet was a fan drawing, Freddy Krueger and kratos. MkX just had 1 more than them. Mk11 had alot. Joker, spawn, spawn daughter, Harley Quinn, one of the suicide squad dudes, RoboCop, terminator like come on now.
MORTAL KOMBAT!!!! fans do care about story that’s why it’s the only series where they show you how important the main hero is by showing how fast we would all die without him that’s called storytelling 😂
I respect that you think MkX is peak, it’s literally the game that got me into the Mk franchise, however I disagree that MK1 is truly that awful. I personally think it’s overhated. Personally Mk 1 is the Mk I enjoyed playing the most.
For me it's MKs 9 and 10/X both are my favorites and probably are the best ones hands down , i have not played MK-1 reboot but man I'm definitely hearing how good but flat the game is as a whole
It's not a the darkest because for it to exist, deadly alliance all the way at to Armageddon is the reason MkX changed their role. Their was no hope there. Literally everyone but show Khan died gruesome horrible deaths. Liu Kang died at the start so king Kai had to take over and he did good. He survived all the way till onaga showed up and everyone got bodied.
So the three Mortal Kombat things I own are the 1995 movie, Armageddon, and MKX(L). The movie is the best but it's not a game so it doesn't count. Armageddon has a lot going for it that makes me still love it: the full roster, Kreate-a-Karachter, Stage Fatalities, Motor Kombat. But I couldn't care less about the story mode. MKX has a "better" story though not my favorite (though most of that has to do with the Revenant stuff which I was told was a holdover from MK9 so I blame them). And while a lot of the Fatalities are a little *too* gross for my taste. But otherwise the gameplay is leagues and leagues better than even a lot of other fighting games period. I LOVE the Variation system. I actually bothered to learn how to do combos rather than just button-mashing. And the roster is great; I would trade the slasher guests for Shang Tsung any day because I don't care for those movies, but I get to play as a damn Xenomorph. Shang aside, my other MK mains Raiden, Reptile, and Goro are all there and at their best, and D'Vorah is easily my favorite non-classic non-guest character in the franchise.
Demolition Sonya has 3 grenades of the given type on her leg. When all 3 are gone, you have to "reload" which kind you want. EX burns all 3, appropriately, like a better Stryker.

I find MK X to be the Golden Standard of any and all MK games
Real
the predator chapter being called Drake is real af
I've been waiting for this since your mk1 video first came out finally after 1 year
Not a year lol 7 months but still a long time
NRS games goes like this:
MK9 > MKX > MK11 > MK1
Nothing has beaten the 2v2 mode and challenge towers from MK9
Best game in the franchise overall belongs to Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. The mainline games are a wonder to witness but that damn beat ‘em up co-op game is peak mk gaming in terms of gameplay mechanics and story mode. Get to play as Sub-Zero & Scorpion. Hidden smoke missions! They have MK2 as a secret game to play and you can do versus played out like a power stone game.
That intro... I love that! You tell em!!!
I was 14 an half saved up money bought this game on release day, was such a hype playing everyday all day even before going to school butt i struggled to master the fast gameplay so i decided to fully try and learn scorpion and a bit of kitana, i have tried playing it recently and my frustration is same as my 14 year old self but the gameplay is fun and gave made me a bit of nostalgic feeling tbh great video too mate
Thank you
you put so much time and effort into these vids. thanks bro
thank you, i truly did put a lot of time into this
The game needs a remaster to give a fresh touch-up on not just the overall visuals but the models and other various fixes on gameplay and etc imo.
It's the only mk after 9 with legit damage system to the body.
I like Cassie but Cassie Cage was a Mary Sue girlboss who somehow defeats Shinnok despite her taking the most Ls against the other fighters throughout the story mode until it's her chapter lol. Would've been better if Earthrealm and Outworld teamed up to battle Shinnok and defeat him.
True
The most important thing about fighting game is the gameplay, and NRS don't know what good gameplay means.
I've been waiting for this one!
Great video! I cannot stop consuming MK content.
Mortal Kombat 1 is better
Finally a worthful opinion that came from my opinion too! ❤
21:55 cool transition
the title of the timestamp for Predator's section being "Drake" is insane 🤣
I love mkx the last best mk we got before it went to shit
17:32 This is what I have been waiting for.
In order to use Sonya Blade’s grenades, you have to restock during the fight. You basically have 3 charges (indicated by the bombs on her thigh)
My cousins and I are MK diehards. We have been playing MK games together for over 20 years. Put countless hours in basically every single release from the sega genesis to the modern era. When MK9 came out, it blew our minds. To finally have back 2D MK was incredible, and the tag team mode was perfect for all of us to play at the same time. The gameplay was fantastic. MKX came out, and while we were disappointed in the lack of tag team, but the gameplay was so good, we were able to forgive it and enjoy it. Those 2 games are the peak of the franchise, and we'll still occasionally debate on which one is superior. Even without having the deep lore and unique vibes of the 3D era or even the initial 2D era, those games made up for it just with the gameplay itself. MK11 was an immediate disappointment. That game was just lacking the proper soul similar to what MKX and MK9 had. We tried so hard to like it but, we couldn't. MK1 was no better. Too many people focus only on what has the "best graphics" and what's new, instead of having the best gameplay or actually being interesting. Modern MK is so lame and boring. A shadow of what it use to be. I hope that one day MK can be actually good again. But, since it's selling so well despite being a shadow of it's former self, I have my doubts.
it's such a casual perspective of the game
Better gameplay and mechanic wise, but the game looks ugly asf
I think graphics are good, color palette is drab
Mk9 artstyle looks better tbh
I love the dark gritty style. Gives it a proper grimy horror feeling that MK should have. Mk 11 felt too bright and cartoony for me.
Graphics aren't bad for a 2015 game and While I like the gritty and darker vibe they were going for I agree that it has a muted color palette than MK9, MK9 has a better aesthetic. The game needs a remaster to give a fresh touch-up on not just the overall visuals but the models and other various fixes imo.
@@B_dizzy-l5vI don’t think MK should have a horror feeling to it, MK has always been colorful in terms of aesthetics
I agree too, I don’t play mk1, but I think MKX is peak imo
36:53 all of the characters who aren't on the roster had their animations imported from mk9 when it comes to their moves, they were just touched up a tiny bit, so they weren't exactly new animations
That makes sense actually
Only just dawned on me, most of the endings, except the ones where an alternate winner against Shinnok is explicitly shown, are canon. Well, ideally would've been canon before MK11 brushed over most of them haha. Some carry connected narratives similar to MK1's endings. Pretty cool aspect. Really makes one think about how MK11 would've gone if it was a more direct sequel to MKX.
Tons of interesting concepts such as Raiden now invading the other realms with Scorpion as his champion. Quan Chi technically becoming the champion of the elder gods like Scorpion did in the original timeline. The resurrection of Shang Tsung. Reptile, Kenshi and Takeda having gone on their own separate quests hence why they're likely not present in MK11, Kung Lao having been cured from the revenant status, etc.
I think the only ending I don't like is Predator's as it's waayyyy out of character for a Yautja to become a Konquerer that decimates worlds and doesn't take trophies, unless its implying he got corrupted like Raiden because of Shinnok's amulet, or that he became a bad blood hunter.
About MK1's gameplay, it's weird cos you can tell they maybe wanted variations again or a semblence of them not only because of the kameo mixups but also some characters do have a style change in the middle of the match, especially Kenshi and maybe Noob (Embrace Khaos is more of an enhancer that leaves you Saibot-less after it's used up so you end up playing without the shadow double), and in other cases like Takeda where his moveset is clearly a hybrid of all his MKX Variations. I definitely agree though, it'd be neat if real-time move styles/variations like in the 3D era came back.
I do wanna correct the Krypt section, MK1's shrine doesn't require you to spend IRL money, although it is pretty lacking in content, by the time you gain a LOT of coins from Invasions mode you basically unlock most if not all of the skins, gear, concept, profile banners and art, and as of recent Brutalities.
I understand the complaint about the microtransactions but they've really learned from the criticisms and backlash the fandom threw to the point they were practically giving out free skins on the lead up to khaos reigns + the update for it giving out tons of free content too (even to those who did not buy the DLC), as well as making Invasions a more fun experience (well, subjective.) in comparison to it's early days.
Amazing video dude, I love your content and glad to see another MK vid, your very direct, funny and aggressive style is charming and appealing.
I wonder what the title of your MK1 video will be haha (MK1 is better than MK1 ok just kidding lol.)
PS: Funfact, due to mods allowing you to play as the NPC exclusive characters (Rain, Story Tanya, Sindel, etc.), it was found that Baraka is compatible with some of Alien's moves, so yeah he definitely lives on with the Xeno.
I never understood why they moved away from the MKX and MK9 gameplay style. MK11 and MK1 feel so slow, it's like they are afraid to turn up the speed of the game.
PREACH!!! This is my favorite MK game of all time!
Mortal Kombat 1, or Mortal Kombat Strive as I like to call it proves that fighting games might actually have the worst monetization along with MOBA.
1. Mobile tier microtransactions in a full priced game.
2. Over reliance on dlc, often revealed way before release.
3. Games only have 1v1 PvP.
4. Your expected to learn by labbing in training for 5000 hours while constantly researching some loser’s wiki for every hit’s data.
5. Games die out super quick because only nolifers play online
6. Matchmaking or netcode is always broken
Evo was a mistake.
😂 0:08 he raging and speakin facts
As much as I love Liu Kang as a character, in MK1 I think he made Sektor into an angsty, overly ambitious tech-girl who happens to be in love with this timeline’s angsty edgelord of a “grandmaster” (Kuai Liang/Sub-Zero is much more dignified than current Bi-Han is Noob Saibot or not). Meaning that these two couples wouldn’t be taken seriously now. Also is it just me or is this Sektor more whinier than Frost?
You have to recharge the grenades in Demolition variation for Sonya. You have 3 grenades to use and if you use all of them then you have to reload them to get more.
In Mk vs Dc she had Bicycle Kicks .
I hate how in the arcade ending where it states that said character is a revenant. THEY DON'T FUCKING LOOK LIKE A REVENANT.
Truth actually lol
The costumes were waaay better in MKX, than this crap heap of MK1.
Plus you aren’t charged 10 bucks a piece in this game lol
@@steele1 Yes the good old days.
@@steele1 I prefer the mk9 outfits
0:08 OK BRO! Please don’t burnt me man 🙏
I agree bro, MKX is light years better than MK1. 🫡
MK9 will always be my favorite but MKX is up there too. I don’t hate MK1 as much as everyone else tho
The Dualist spheres have to be paused mid-flight with the same input and they detonate after some time. It's a setup variation just like Master of Storms.
Okay that makes sense
I completely agree! It's definitely the better one of the most recent 3 games. I always go back to this one it's just awesome and had the best characters
I have come to say I agree with you
MKX IS BETTER IN EVERY WAY EXCEPT ART STYLE
Real
We're so close to the MK11 video. Cant wait to see it! MK11 is easily my favorite!
Well idk if I’d say close lmfao considering this took 7 months we’re looking at a summer 2025 release
@@steele1 haha no worries man! Found your channel from the MK content when you first started making it. Keep doing what you're doing :D
I wouldn't say MK1 is trash,but it doesn't even feel like Mortal Kombat,is in the bottom 3
Story line for MKX trash…
HOWEVER the gameplay and the roster are better than mk11 and mk1 (with the exception of mk1’s roster)
💯💯💯
It's almost the same
@Kayu-g9p …the mk11 roster being trash can you read?
I totally agree with how rushed and unprepared mk1 has felt. It’s not worth the price.
Kotal's design was better in X than MK 11 in my opinion
There was a massive large snow storm back in the day, so everyone was inside. So what do you do during a snow storm? Play Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. MKDA was the most played MK game. Even people who dont follow the series of MK played that game. Not because of how cool the game is, but because everyone was stuck inside.
Johnny deadass looks like the postal dude at 7:00
also MK11 100% should've been the mortal kombat tournament from the perspective of outworld trying to get emperor raiden off their asses. MKX endings are almost all bangers
If you want to know some of things either not explained by him or the game story the comics are cannon
If I had to rank all the Mortal Kombat games I’ve played, it would look like this (Might be controversial):
1. Mortal Kombat X
2. Mortal Kombat 1
3. Mortal Kombat Trilogy
4. Mortal Kombat 11
You’re 100% right!! MK1 is beautiful but the story is ALL FUKKED UP!
These are just Facts. Anyone who disagrees ( even though you said it's fine to disagree )
They are Coping Massively. MKX is EXCELLENT! MK1 is Doo Doo butter cheeks.
I'll comment not to argue but for the algorithm
I used to main Sonia back in the day. You need to reload your grenades after you throw three
Mortal kombat X story ruined Liu Kang because of Ed Boon. Liu kang death is not justified
Hello Steele, i click on you video because i on 90% agree with you statement at beginning. MKX is like smaller but "better" brother of MK9. For example i think story mode is slightly better in MKX, because i was really dissapointed from "tournament storyline" - it was too short and could have actually fill full story mode (that why 1st story of MK9 is great and do that i would like to see in MK9.
Also i kinda hate game mechanisms of MK1 - Rounds seems to be shorter and more blank, cameo system is annoying because you canť turn off so its no 1v1 (MK11 do it better by temporal bonuses which you can CHOOSE to use, not being FORCED as core mechanic) and also absence of variations makes a characters fights poorer and meh - in MK11 you can even "make your own".
Also MKX has better roster including DLC characters. Is kinda weird that Kenshi, Raiden and Lui Kang are reason why i have 10% of liking MK1 - due to New Era version are nicely done (Raiden as humble polite boy who gets "god powers", Kenshi tragically lost his eyes and his relationship with Johnny is good, Lui Kang is sympathetic as usual and now even non-hefty god). Why is it weird? Because overall most of game SUB-ZERO is my most favourite character, MK1 Sub-Zero is "decent-ish" but MKX and MK11 do him more fun to play and watch in both story modes and multiplayers.
Also some choices as make Cyrax and Sektor womans is kinda weird and not talking about Janet Cage. Sorry but other canon womans are better than this - except DVorah - i hate her most of all exist characters.
BTW: My most favourite MKX character variation is: Lui Kang (Dualist) and Takeda (Lasher)
So i agree with you, MKX is better than MK1 but i think MK9 and MKX are slightly equal PEAK. Good video and i like that explaining into details. Also will you do MK11 is better than MK1? Have a great day
41:25 I would've laughed so hard if I heard you mentioned that Kitana has hands-down the STUPIDEST looking crouching kick NRS has ever made XD ....Also I came here for the Daddy Baraka jokes (Though I'm more of a Reptile simp because I like scalies too much)
Agreed. MK1 is 30+ years, MKX is a lot more polished.
The only thing i agree about MK1 is that the fighting paste is a little bit faster then 11. Not too fast that you'll get stuck in the corner in 3 secs not too slow that almost every move is blocked.
0:52. You were 11 when the game came out so the story in the "Netherrealm" era was objectively looked at as just plain bad. Back in the day the story for all the 3D games were fairly decent and didn't leave too many unresolved cliffhangers out to dry and wither; can't speak for the Arcade era tho. Wasn't around that early lol
Demolition Sonya needs to recharge her grenades with a special move iirc
They both good I don’t hate MK1 or MKX they both are so fun
MKX is definitely not a better MK game than MK1.
MK1's content, even now, is severely lacking compared to MKX and the terrible microtransactional practices that have been exhibited by WB have reached an all-time peak with MK1 vs. with MKX. But MKX's gameplay was so one-dimensional that it only lasted 2 years in tournament before its entire scene moved on to the next game.
In short, MKX was Unga-Bunga Kombat wherein any scrubby player could jump-in/run-up/use interactable to mix or pressure people to death. Bojutsu Kung Jin is a prime example of this, along with Tanya, Alien, Predator, Jason, Shinnok, Ermac, Erron Black and about a dozen other characters that I'm forgetting now. Tekken 8 is currently dealing with the ramifications of those kinds of unga-bunga mechanics being added to a game in an effort to appease viewers rather than long-time players, especially those that mastered staple defensive skills like KBD and side-stepping.
The best FGs have a natural ebb and flow of offense vs. defense; players jockeying for a favorable position in the neutral and landing a hit or whiff on the opponent. MKX upended all of that in favor of non-stop offense and 50/50 mixups.
Also, MKX looked rubbery and cold, animations were horribly stiff and unnatural, the story was a terribly hot mess, the main characters of the game were unnecessary and under-developed, much like Cole Young in the 2021 MK movie.
And then, when you try to go back and enjoy the game the way that long-time players like myself used to do with all MK games and play the Arcade mode, you either have to deal with a CPU that is either entirely too easy to defeat or one that input reads worse than the arcade MK2 CPU ever did and kills the fun out of the experience. At least MKX introduced GGPO to MK fans!
MKX's Variation System was at its peak in this game and there were lots and lots of combos per character. But MK1 has it beaten in combo accessibility and variety, not to mention, having 20 Kameos means that each character essentially has 20 Variations - and even if only a quarter of those variations are worth a damn, it's still 2 more for a single character than what MKX offered.
By all means, feel free to love what you love. MKX will never be the game that MK9 was - that MK was a masterpiece in terms of gameplay and fun factor. But I will never argue that MK9 was a better game package than MKX was because it wasn't. Nor will I argue that MK9 was a better-balanced MK than MKX because that isn't true either. I simply prefer MK9 to MKX, along with every other NRS title.
MKX is much better remembered for the legacy that it added to Mortal Kombat - whether it's the addition of rollback netcode, Brutalities, character intros and Variations of characters - than it is for its actual gameplay. MK1 definitely has lots of catching up to do in terms of its content, but it has already surpassed MKX and MK11 in the areas that matter the most - story and gameplay. And it's only adding more content over time and thus improving.
Hey Steele, on the Triborg section, you didn't mention Cyber Subzero 😒
Is he playable on triborg? I only say the 3 variations that had smoke cyrax and sektor
@@steele1 yeah! Press up three times and then press A
I didn’t even know that damn
@@steele1 gotta make a yt short or smth atp. Can't do all variations and forget one 😍🤙
Devora should have been the next big bad with all the main characters she killed. Waisted potential in my eyes
Mkx is peak modern MK yes. When my only true xomplaint thats a make or break is that their's too many third party DLC characters? Like alien and predator? Of course you gotta have them fight but leather face? Could have had noob or somethin but i digress. Megar complaint in the grand scheme of things
In me there were 4 third party character but mk9 had a good bit too. Scarlet was a fan drawing, Freddy Krueger and kratos. MkX just had 1 more than them. Mk11 had alot. Joker, spawn, spawn daughter, Harley Quinn, one of the suicide squad dudes, RoboCop, terminator like come on now.
You can’t even land a single combo and it’s your favorite game ???
Yeah I just suck ass
@@steele1😂😂😂😂💯💯
hi steel do you like tremor in mkx ?
Talked about it in the vid lol
@@steele1 oh okay and you are very cool
MORTAL KOMBAT!!!! fans do care about story that’s why it’s the only series where they show you how important the main hero is by showing how fast we would all die without him that’s called storytelling 😂
That’s true lol
“Do we really play mortal Kombat for the ****** story?” Yes. I don’t see why not.
I respect that you think MkX is peak, it’s literally the game that got me into the Mk franchise, however I disagree that MK1 is truly that awful. I personally think it’s overhated. Personally Mk 1 is the Mk I enjoyed playing the most.
Mkx was goated but mk9 was the true goat of mk games
Triborg has an extra fighter.
Yeah I learned that from all the other comments telling me
We need mkx with mk1s roster
For me it's MKs 9 and 10/X both are my favorites and probably are the best ones hands down , i have not played MK-1 reboot but man I'm definitely hearing how good but flat the game is as a whole
MKX is the darkest out of the timeline
Every OG hero besides a few are dead. The Fatalities are extra dark.
It's not a the darkest because for it to exist, deadly alliance all the way at to Armageddon is the reason MkX changed their role. Their was no hope there. Literally everyone but show Khan died gruesome horrible deaths. Liu Kang died at the start so king Kai had to take over and he did good. He survived all the way till onaga showed up and everyone got bodied.
@@sky-oq5mr damn King Kai had to step in ?! XD
@@Nemo-ew2hd oh man I tried to type kung lao I guess I been on too many dbz debate channels lmfaoooo
Yeah. MKX was my very first Mortal Kombat game and to me, it’s this franchise at its peak. Gameplay wise at least.
Absolutely
Same!
MKX is incredible. Also, it’s quite fast and very deep for a fighter. I found MK 11 and MK 1’s combat really dumbed down.
Bug juicy moves Amazing
i think it you are very right
So the three Mortal Kombat things I own are the 1995 movie, Armageddon, and MKX(L).
The movie is the best but it's not a game so it doesn't count.
Armageddon has a lot going for it that makes me still love it: the full roster, Kreate-a-Karachter, Stage Fatalities, Motor Kombat. But I couldn't care less about the story mode.
MKX has a "better" story though not my favorite (though most of that has to do with the Revenant stuff which I was told was a holdover from MK9 so I blame them). And while a lot of the Fatalities are a little *too* gross for my taste. But otherwise the gameplay is leagues and leagues better than even a lot of other fighting games period. I LOVE the Variation system. I actually bothered to learn how to do combos rather than just button-mashing. And the roster is great; I would trade the slasher guests for Shang Tsung any day because I don't care for those movies, but I get to play as a damn Xenomorph. Shang aside, my other MK mains Raiden, Reptile, and Goro are all there and at their best, and D'Vorah is easily my favorite non-classic non-guest character in the franchise.
MkX Is perfect bro, ALSO STEELE FINALLY YOU POST A FULL LENGTH VIDEO THATS ACTUALLY GOOD (just kidding bro)
😡
@@steele1 Get that upload schedule up buddy 🤬
Demolition Sonya has 3 grenades of the given type on her leg. When all 3 are gone, you have to "reload" which kind you want. EX burns all 3, appropriately, like a better Stryker.
I see
