Visually speaking yeah he could use some more work (though i do love the "metal sock and bop'em" iron club), but lore-wise I still don't really get why people didn't gel with the idea of a character that's a conqueror that managed to somehow give shao khan a scare back in his non-beef jerky days, as much as it didn't really get elaborated on/developed over in the game.
I think Drahmin have a pretty sick design ! Maybe adding some clothes on him, I don't know, but the oni mask looks really cool AND creepy, plus his lore is actually kinda interesting ! I know he's one of the most hated character from the dev team, but yeah, I want to see him again ! Especially now, where weird characters in fighting games are way more popular now !
Call me basic but I think Drahmin could really benefit from something like a Hannya mask it fits his oni character but maybe I’m not looking at the design appeal of the mask.
@@Taitosalad Just saw what a Hannya mask was (I knew what it was, but I didn't know it was called like this) and yeah, it can fit the Oni character thing, but I thinks Drahmin's original mask is more unique ! Maybe a mix between the two designs ? It can look awesome !
I’m fond of this zombie/ demon torturer but annoying Ed Boon still holds a petty grudge towards him even after 20 years it honestly sucks since he won’t give him another chance. He honestly looks more like an MK character than Kronika and I'm pretty sure fans dislike her way more than him. And I also would like the two 3D era boss characters Moloch and Blaze to show up in future MK's as playable as well.
Regarding Bo' Rai Cho being a joke character, when you really think about it, him being so strong goes perfectly with his overall design. In the lore everyone looks at him as being a drunken obese man, but he's still the mentor of both Liu Kang and Kung Lao, and is good friends with Raiden. So just like the characters in the lore are mistaken about him, we the players are also mistaken about him just because of his appearance and actions and then get fooled by his effectiveness in competitive play. It's almost like this is done on purpose, especially in MKX when competitive play became a lot more prominent.
@@JetstreamRat Except that the farts and the vomits walk toe-to-toe with the Drunken Fist style, that's the point. The combination of all of those giving the purposely misleading presentation for Bo' Rai Cho which causes others to be caught of guard with how powerful he is, both in the lore and competitively.
@@JetstreamRat I agree. I was exited to see him in MKX because I thought NRS would go for a more serious take and get rid of the puking and farting. Instead they decided to double down on it, such a shame.
Dude hit like a truck and moves quite fast, not to mention he kept throwing his stance change combo. He really put my patience to the test during that training too.
Man, I love seeing Deadly Alliance / Deception gameplay coverage. I'd be interested in some videos about the less used/liked characters e.g. Mavado, Nitara, Li Mei. I know they've appeared a bit in some videos but some more in depth stuff would be cool. Also some competitive matches (e.g. via netplay) would be fun!
A character who I think was very underated in MK9 was Reptile, He had what I thaught was the best zoning, some cool looking combos and could do very well at a close range, Reptile to this day is still one of my favorite mk9 characters to play
Yeah but this list is more about the character in general. Reptile is extremely popular in every game hes appeared in. No one forgets about Reptile. Many people forget about Mocap or Drahmin. Or Jarek. (I called him Derek when first typing this, thats how forgettable he is)
Actually, hearing Ketchup here talk about Freddy made me realize that, at the end of the day... he just does everything that Reptile does, but better. Not that that's gonna stop me from simpin' for my scaly acid husbando. Zaterra Lives.
Always liked drahmin. Cool, primal design and fighting style. Characters like he and havik add a bit of extra color to the MK universe in the odd department, and need to return
someone I thought would be on this list was Hsu Hao. he's become a meme and an easy target in recent years, but, at least in Deadly Alliance, he was pretty good. some of his specials were bad, but in terms of damage the guy hit like a truck.
Yeah nah people dont like hsu hao not because he was bad as a gameplay but because the character was bad. Design is bad, lore wise he is another kano clone.
Kano actually stole/recycled parts of his backstory in the NRS games alongside his chest harness doohickey like the whole him being a mole for the Black dragon was actually taken from Hsu_Hoa just switch the Red-dragon with the Black-dragon. Granted there not 100% identical but pretty similar to the point of SUS to me at least.
@@seasonembrace3624they didnt, becaise hsu hao is the one that stole. All of his schtick is essentially kano but slightly exaggerated. Hsu hao is a kano rip off. On the other hand, they realized that instead of trying to make a different kano by using kano assets, they could just make a better kano. Also not even hischest piece bs is hsu hao's, Kano has had thay since mk3
@@lok4890 I agree his design needs an update and he was poorly received by the fan base. but bad or negatively received characters have been given second chances before with Stryker who was viewed by the fan base in a similar way to Hsu-Hoa like almost everyone hated him or said he was one of the worst. and even Bo rai cho while not to the same extent was still looked down upon by a fair amount before MK X. so it just feels like Ed-Boon and his team are just making excuses or are just being lazy when they have the skills to make almost any one a fan favorite but instead they just go with dank memes of he just sucks and that's it so it just feels like it is getting old after 20 years same with the dunking on Drahmin.
I'd love to see Drahmin get a slight visual overhaul if he ever came back, maybe make him a tandem character with Moloch too since those two were suppose to go hand-and-hand in DA (at least IIRC, it's been a while). The Netherrealm could do with some more proper rep outside of Scorp and Quan Chi.
6:44 YOOOO! JAREK SPOTLIGHT! I would like to see a new episode on MK Meta on Deception. Recently I've become super interested in the competitive MK:D scene
Aye Drahmin, my MKDA main! Love it. Hope to see him again soon. Man, I just love the videos you guys put out. I could watch a million of them. Each competitive history is an immediate watch for me and really appreciate all the 3D era love. I hope we see more competitive histories soon along with your hopes and dreams for MK12; maybe 5+ characters from each era you hope to see and how you’d bring them back, building your perfect MK12 roster, etc. Maybe more underrated characters, individual game focused tier list breakdowns, individual game retrospectives (your memories of the lead up and launch, initial impressions, lasting opinions, etc… Just like a celebration of a game plus your critique, good and bad). Anyways, thanks again for all the time and effort you guys put in to these videos. It really shines through. 👍
Great video as always. All of the characters made sense. I must give you unreal credit for including David's stage music from Battle Arena 3 Toshiden. That game is underrated
BRUH! I knew it sounded familiar! Here I was thinking it was Ellis's theme because of those horns and triplets for a good second. 😂 I never played 3, but Toshinden's music has a certain font that I can pick up.
@@Dinker27 3 is definitely a favorite of mine and David's clock tower stage had that amazing track to it. I'd say if you can find it play the game for the soundtrack alone
Honestly didn't expect drahmin to be good. I tested him out in training mode and he seemed to be the buggiest character in the game and only one of his stances really stuck out. On top of that his animations were super jank and he seemed to have ridiculously long recovery on everything.
MK Developer: "All right, so we've finished Jarek's model. About this 'ground pound', I was thinking maybe he like does some kind of energized stomp or something like..." Designer: "Nah, just make him fall on his back." Developer: "Uh...okay, I guess."
Ill take that extended footage of Ferra/Torr at the beginning as an honourable mention. I almost exclusively main monster characters in fighting games, and monsters are almost always candidates for this list. They're usually big bodies or have unconventional designs aesthetically or mechanically and it leads to them being under-used. Drahmin and Freddy are 100% characters I would play if they were in modern titles or if their titles were re-released.
Besides Subby and Rep, Drahmin was my 3rd favorite character in DA. And my 2nd new favorite character behind Bo. Ive always loved his design esp with the mask, and have always thought he was fun to play. And the damage??!! Geez. At times you can literally win a match with no more than 7 or 8 hits. NOT 7 or 8 combos...7 or a touches. Insane
AMAZING VIDEO YOU’RE MY ALL TIME FAVORITE UA-cam CHANNEL. I’m still praying we get a Mk meta for deception soon but I’m happy with all your content keep up the good work fellers.
Bo was very dangerous and was a problem. Drahmin is dangerous and hits hard... I actually used him and learned a lot playing him. He moves good for a big man just like Bo. The first version of Drahmin did damage with juggles and keeping people off balanced with spacing.
MKX Bo Rai Cho is such an anomaly. I love him lorewise but his moves obnoxiously foul, but his combo game is nuts. The term "fart setup" is a term you ONLY will ever hear in MK.
11:24 Me, a Drunken Master Bo' Rai Cho main must say, I never saw a character with such a broken moveset like his from MKX. Even at fullscreen can he be very dangerous.
I'd still be a little dismissive of Drunken Master in MKX simply because the drink mechanic can end up punishing you for using the variation's specific moves; if you go for constant mix and your opponent guesses right then you could end up doubly punished in the match both from the guess and from the almost inevitable puke afterwards. But I'm pretty risk averse, so get hammered and mix if you want. I just figure both the other variations have no penalty associated with using the variation specific moves.
Drahmin is my favourite character from the series. I fell in love with his design and moves and could beat anyone with him. Even named myself after him :)
I like how Bo Rai Cho's unpredictability and devastating power is what makes him strong... when he is a master of the Drunken Fist. That's the entire point of that fighting style IRL, so that is very fitting.
The case with Drahmin is how I like him as a character, just hated his design. I wish he came back with Shinnok's Samurai Armor from MKX, that could make him look like a badass Oni.
I wouldnt call Bo'rai cho a joke character, so much as a character with humour inherent to their gameplay. He was a real highlight of X, and im surprised there hasnt been much demand for him to return in mk1. Im hoping we'll see him again soon
to add onto not seeing Freddy well this aslo would count for all DLC on mk9 since the game didn't force the compatibility packs to play online and not part of the base updates so you would so you run into people who forgot/ intentionally didn't download compatibility pack you were stuck not even being able to play a DLC/s you bought cuz the opponent doesn't have the proper compatibility packs
Bo was so busted in Deception lol 😆 definitely the most brain dead character in that game. I've always felt Jarek was underrated in MK4 and MKA he was one of my mains in both.
Man they really should bring back Drahmin in MK12 . Dude has a wacky lore and I want it be expanded . P.S. Reiko should come back also . The blood God.
I've put him on my most wanted list for years. Most people seem to hate the characters I want back 1.) Havik 2.) Drahmin 3.) Reiko 4.) Mavado 5.) Nitara
Another character I feel like should fit in a video like this is Mavado, he's really decent in DA, probably at around high-mid tier but because his moveset is a bit unique, he was overlooked for a while and placed as low tier, in Armageddon, he's probably one of the strongest characters in the game, I'd say top 10. but anyways, I'm glad that Bo Rai Cho, Jarek and Drahmin were covered, as they are all really interesting in their own way, I feel like if someone is new to MK4, Jarek is a perfect character to start with and even more-so if you're new to DA, pick up Drahmin, who is imo, by far the easiest character to pick up, maybe alongside Quan Chi.
I was never a super competitive player, but I really liked Drahmin spcially because I didn't have to learn kombos. This my pick for Mortal Kombat character that will never return to anything 😕
Jarek should return to take Kano's spot for the black dragon clan since he was in 2nd command, he has potential to be awsome with a new fighting style and better fatalities and also he's more ruthless and aggressive than kano.
In MK 9, I loved how Freddy played, but I hated that they added Freddy because it’s because of him that you can no longer buy a new copy of MK9. Warner Bros lost the license to him and was forced to delist MK9. It’s one of the biggest fears I have when they add licensed characters they don’t own, at anytime they lose the license and be forced to stop supporting the game. This is why I always wish Netherrealm just focused on the many characters they have in their universe instead of adding characters that doesn’t make sense like Robo Cop or Rambo.
MK9 came out 12 years ago. Depending on who you ask that's retro by virtue of being older then 1 year. Modern console kiddies have short attention spans. I still play Doom, and that is now over 30 years old but still damn good. Good games stay good regardless of age.
Drahmin was always interesting to me from a design standpoint
Visually speaking yeah he could use some more work (though i do love the "metal sock and bop'em" iron club), but lore-wise I still don't really get why people didn't gel with the idea of a character that's a conqueror that managed to somehow give shao khan a scare back in his non-beef jerky days, as much as it didn't really get elaborated on/developed over in the game.
Used to call him shrek growing up 😭😭
Drahmin is a personal fave.
Stinky club man
I think havik stole his thunder from relevancy in deception. What a shame.
I think Drahmin have a pretty sick design ! Maybe adding some clothes on him, I don't know, but the oni mask looks really cool AND creepy, plus his lore is actually kinda interesting !

Drahmin could work as a male fighter with D'Vorah's fighting style.
I feel he shouldn’t, simply because Drahmin’s design only really works in the 3d era style

@@sebaz013 Looks like someone doesn't understand the whole point of it.
Just because it's good on paper doesn't mean it's executed well. Like Reptile's lizard design. The lore is good, but it ends up looking stupid.
Drahmin was always one of the series' most unique and interesting characters. It's a real shame that the devs have completely disregarded him.
Loved seeing Drahmin get some love that character was different. Thank you for the godlike content.
When I played through DA Konquest, Drahmin was actually the character I struggled to beat to finish his training! So rewarding when you do though.
Dude hit like a truck and moves quite fast, not to mention he kept throwing his stance change combo. He really put my patience to the test during that training too.
@@Soul93Taker I legit had to stop and come back to it, I lost my cool a few times.
Drahmin was one of my favourites of the 3D Trilogy and definitely a main of DA. The range of the ground pound used to infuriate my friends.

Ive already made competitive history of mokap
@@PNDKM Oh yeah, totally forgot it. My bad.
I wonder, will you cover Drahmin in a competitive history now that you've covered his basics here?
He was only in 2 games, he'd be a bad one. Someone like Sonya would be good because she's been in alot of games.
to add onto not seeing Freddy well this aslo would count for all DLC on mk9 since the game didn't force the compatibility packs to play online and not part of the base updates so you would so you run into people who forgot/ intentionally didn't download compatibility pack you were stuck not even being able to play a DLC/s you bought cuz the opponent doesn't have the proper compatibility packs
Drahmin.
Me: MUSIC MAN
I used to main Drahmin. I dug his stupid look and everything.
I'd be interested to see a video on Deception's Chess Kombat just for funsies.
People refer to MK9 as retro?? That made me feel old too lmao
I don't know what's happening at 2:01 , but I like it
I know this video is more about the technicalities but I want to see Reiko, Jarek, Belokk, and Sareena in a future MK game
Yes.
Bo was so busted in Deception lol 😆 definitely the most brain dead character in that game. I've always felt Jarek was underrated in MK4 and MKA he was one of my mains in both.
Man they really should bring back Drahmin in MK12 . Dude has a wacky lore and I want it be expanded .
P.S. Reiko should come back also . The blood God.
I've put him on my most wanted list for years. Most people seem to hate the characters I want back
1.) Havik
2.) Drahmin
3.) Reiko
4.) Mavado
5.) Nitara
I want them all back, too. It's a shame that NRS seems to just toss aside their most interesting characters.
Y'know another underrated character I'm good with and I made my own costume of? Hsu Hao!
I hated his design, but I was awesome with him. Used to be able to pull off some awesome combos with him.
@@daveb947 I didn't think his design was that bad. I can still pull off some sweet combos with Hsu Hao and I made my own costume of him.
Bo Rai Cho was always op in 3d and good in MKX. So isn't a surprise at all
Another character I feel like should fit in a video like this is Mavado, he's really decent in DA, probably at around high-mid tier but because his moveset is a bit unique, he was overlooked for a while and placed as low tier, in Armageddon, he's probably one of the strongest characters in the game, I'd say top 10.
but anyways, I'm glad that Bo Rai Cho, Jarek and Drahmin were covered, as they are all really interesting in their own way, I feel like if someone is new to MK4, Jarek is a perfect character to start with and even more-so if you're new to DA, pick up Drahmin, who is imo, by far the easiest character to pick up, maybe alongside Quan Chi.
I gravitated towards Drahmin because his design reminded me of my beloved Voldo.
It would be pretty cool if you shined light on the 2 most unknown mk games, Mortal Kombat Unchained and Mortal Kombat for the psvita!
Ive both never understood why people hate Drahmin so much, and completly understood at the same time.
I always had a thing for meat, mokap and ferra/torr
Nitara always getting passed over.
Drahmin was like my main character for a long while at least until I played really good players he was fun
He was godly in Deadly Alliance.
great vid, but have to shoutout the toshinden soundtrack making it into the video
Drahmin is so metal;hope to see him come back someday.
Maybe it's cause of being friends with PL, but I remember off rip that Fredie was hella good...or least he thought so.
Missed an opportunity to talk about these characters' fatalities.
All the characters are good when u just mash random buttons 😂
And mk 9 being considered a retro game hurts my back it makes me feel so old
Don't know if its intencional, but "borracho" means drunk in spanish
It is intentional
Love Bo Rai chó.. underrated character
Another fun fact: That d2 that does 13 damage can be parried
I was never a super competitive player, but I really liked Drahmin spcially because I didn't have to learn kombos. This my pick for Mortal Kombat character that will never return to anything 😕
Jarek should return to take Kano's spot for the black dragon clan since he was in 2nd command, he has potential to be awsome with a new fighting style and better fatalities and also he's more ruthless and aggressive than kano.
correction, that's not carlos pesina, that's raiden himself
Drahmin was awesome
In MK 9, I loved how Freddy played, but I hated that they added Freddy because it’s because of him that you can no longer buy a new copy of MK9. Warner Bros lost the license to him and was forced to delist MK9. It’s one of the biggest fears I have when they add licensed characters they don’t own, at anytime they lose the license and be forced to stop supporting the game. This is why I always wish Netherrealm just focused on the many characters they have in their universe instead of adding characters that doesn’t make sense like Robo Cop or Rambo.
drahmin 😍
I see a Ketchup/Mustard video?
I click.
mocap doing uppercut damage from a poke is p funny
FINALLY, SOME LOVE FOR MY BOI DRAHMIN!
If fighting games taught me anything. It's that there's a 90% chance that the joke character is a top 5 character
MK9 came out 12 years ago. Depending on who you ask that's retro by virtue of being older then 1 year. Modern console kiddies have short attention spans. I still play Doom, and that is now over 30 years old but still damn good. Good games stay good regardless of age.
I love Drahmin. His looks, gameplay, and lore. It's really unfortunate Ed Boon has such a hate for him
I need a 2023 with competitive history of Sub-Zero
Is there anyway to get your intro theme? It would make an awesome ringtone!
Ken's Street Fighter Alpha 3 theme randomly in the background? Okie dokie.
Meat is another underrated character.
Drahmin and Mokap are my favorite characters :)
Perhaps you could make the top 5 best/ worst mechanics from mk next. An example of a bad one would be the meter vanishing bug in mk9.
such effort on this one
When will be the next MK Meta? Miss them metas, man!
Drahmin was such a cool looking character to me, its a shame that he didnt get to do much.
I love Taven.
But i think Mavado needs some time to shine, because him probably never come back
The youtube algorithms are on yourside i havnt watch a video from u in months now that your uploading they been in my suggestions i will subscribe now
My favorite hidden gem was the sexy mileena art from deception. 👀
