Triborg should’ve came back as part of the default roster. Such an interesting concept of a character.. He’s essentially just Robo-Chameleon but it’s still cool.. he could’ve been working along side Frost to restore the Cyber Lin Kuei only to betray her later because “Robots are better”.
It really be a missed opportunity since they already have Sektor and Cyrax models in game but refuse to have them be playable in any capacity. It would make sense to use the assets but nope. Though when I think on it the cyborg characters have all always been broken in one way or another
No, he shouldn't. Sektor is one of the most plot-relevant characters so he should come back. Triborg makes no sense. You might as well remove Sub-Zero and Scorpion and substitute them with Chameleon in that case.
with MK11s kustom variations too, you could probably mix and match the cyborg moves as well. Have a sektor/cyrax fusion for example. Who knows how good it would be, but it would be cool. Still though, I would rather just have Sektor and Cyrax come back over Triborg.
I think you're on to something there. Realistically, "Triborg" could have been Chameleon. Captured and cyberised. It would have at least added the Kharacter to the roster in a more permanent way and possibly boosted its chances of appearing beyond MK X.
@@chestbumphero bro, they need to put new moves, special moves, brutalities, fatalities, intros, outros, voice actor, new frame data, end of round taunt, friendship, skins, over 90 gear pieces.
@@PNDKM but im talking nowadays (ive watched your umk3 meta video 8 times and counting) but i mean like now in mk11 would that not be broken i can seeing some infinite set ups
The little spikes of humor like the ending are the perfect addition to such comprehensive looks at this history. The patch notes part at the end is one of the best bits I think Ketchup has ever done in a video.
I think they can retool this character type for ninjas as well. They can use Chameleon as the base character, and any ninjas that aren't in that mortal kombat can be variations.
Its always interesting to see how old players had no idea about the potential of a move until it got labbed properly. Like phaseaway. I cant even think how one could think that move is weak.
Always looking forward to seeing a video from the two of you. Ketchup, this is another amazing Video, good job. Once again we can feel the energy in the video, choice of music was epic. Keep up the good work :).
I like this one better, they're way bigger and the hits sound like they hurt. In 11 it just sounds like they're getting hit reallly hard with tomatoes wrapped in oatmeal.
Triborg was broken beyond belief on day 1, but I do admit that was a little too harsh on the path list. It is funny the way you read it, but I remember me almost crying when I first saw it, lol.
I was undefeated with cyber smoke for a whiiiile then i met my match, got beat by the same guy 3 times in a row, but still cyber smoke is my guy in MKX. Been some years tho
I Remember the First Viennality where Madzin robbed me with Cyber Sub , there was a buggy interaction at which we both screamed out WHAT?!. still great times and great games !
MK11 provided nothing but subpar gameplay. Which is a given considering NRS decided to copy SFV, when SFV was an abomination compared to IV. That decision blows my mind considering how SFV was received.
@@GudsSkyfall I just got into SFV. I think it's way more balanced than most fighting games and I've played a few. Ironically it's even faster than mk11
Wow! Amazing video, I'm a new MKX player and I wasn't aware of these facts. I heard that Triborg was weakened, but I didn't think that they were weakened so much😱😱😱 Cyrax was a true dangerous Cyber Assassin! My main is Smoke and Sektor.
I haven't played in years so I had no clue they nerfed smoke, I also never played competitive, so just astonishing people outside of my circle could of thought smoke was bad
Good video,Quick question,What do you think about having a variation with some of the best moves of the triborgs? It could be called "Grandmaster's plan" It could have sektors key strings,such as the flamethrower from sektor. It could have some small bomb setups,and the harpoon from smoke,and icefall from cyber subzero. But it would lack the key strings needed to step into broken. It would be equal in strength to mkx sektor
One thing they did right: They actually removed the guaranteed reset Cyrax had in MK9. By removing the "unblockable" nature of his bombs. Damn. Then again, we enjoyed the neutrals of this game, despite first hating it for changing it drastically from MK9.
@@BaldTorment The fact Sektor isn't in every game is completely ridiculous. Very interesting, popular and plot-relevant character. Instead they keep adding trash like Jacqui for pure virtue signaling purposes.
there's a video on this channel, from the "Science of MKX" series, called "in the beginning", or something like that. it talked precisely about the day one version and all its broken goodness.:)
I had my fun with mkx but i also have to admit that i am glad it's in the past.. i've played so many unfair matches. It's a miracle that i don't suffer from PTSD
Question okay triborg was a bunch of the ninjas data recorded and put into one body but why do we only have 4 ninja when we could have at least 5 plus others that we don't k ow of now I'm not complaining I love triborg , smoke is my favorite but recently learned of Hydro which was bi hans (the original sub zero) best friend and yes ik he was turned into cyber but he should have been record still and he was better then cyrax and sektor (till they worked together) why wouldnt he be put into triborg?
I feel like (and I might be stupid) but CSZ now I feel would be better but not broken if he had any safe armored option. I know that’s not much of a possibility with the specials he actually had but something so his neutral wasn’t so terrible. Jason and shinnok still chew him up and there’s almost nothing he can do if they stay near him. I suppose his lack of armor is counteracted by his mobility but he was hilariously bad before the patch in 2016
I recall flamethrower being plus was removed before in the day one patch so I didn't mention it here. I really wanted to focus on the variations we actually used rather than stuff we'd never have used.
I'll be honest... I think the last patch was deliberate to kill MKX. I think the game was perfect after the first balance patch post MKXL. Changing the way armor works, changing certain moves, literally at the end of the game's lifespan just ruined the game imo. Characters like Cryomancer Sub were completely crippled imo, while characters like Raiden just got worse over time. The last patch basically made MKX like a proto-MK11, and that's not what the game was designed to be. The game had a run button, and the game was built around it. Armored launcher, wake up, etc, it all made MKX into a high-octane evolution of MK9. I would kill for an "MKXL Ultra" where someone undoes the final changes to the game, and restores everyone to their most broken version. Like Raiden is set to his Day 1 version, Triborg to his Day 1 version, etc. Yes, even Tanya and Alien.
@@PNDKM yea i edited after i watched it fully. I had no idea he could literally two touch death. Also thanks for all the effort you put in to this vid i love triborg

When we got to Smoke, I was wondering if you were going to go over the bullshit downplay he got at the time, and you did not disappoint at all.
I'll never forget
I was flabbergasted honestly, he was the first variation i touched at launch and he was so fun
I think they can retool this character type for ninjas as well.
They can use Chameleon as the base character, and any ninjas that aren't in that mortal kombat can be variations.
Hey, guys, remember when gaming companies used to do massive patches just before major tournaments? So glad that never happens anymore.

Mkx is one of my favorite Mk games. I love these videos, especially the ones showcasing broken tech lol
Mk11 made me appreciate x a lot more but I disliked it at the time.
If only it was a bit more colourful...
I remember all this also using smoke fade in combos gave smoke extra dmg
It's gonna be good when we eventually get to the competitive history of Cyrax, more people need to know about the MK9 madness
