i think the game is fun but i agree, i just think they need a non cameo mode and give all characters new moves to work without cameos. it would make the game even more complex and people would like the game more.
bad decisions characters made, MCU plot with random infinity stones inclusion, annoying characters and plotlines that really didn’t matter. The best part was the beginning ambush and the choreography was a good step up. MK has lost all its aura and feel lmao its really a shell
No one asked for an assist fighter version of MK!!!! We did want Tag Mode like MK9 but as its own mode outside of 1v1 and tournaments. And no one asked for the multiverse, gender swaps, and changing characters like how cyrax and sektor are Iron Man suits. I didn't buy MK1 after the announcement with Kameos (assist fighter), and i won't be buying GOTY edition.
its so underwhelming ive just now know Khaos Reign is out. Nobody in my circles talks about it. I play every fighter and even some competitively and nobody mentionned it lol
@@Gruntz199umm yea... That's what I meant. lol. Personally, I don't have many issues with the game, but obviously, others do to where they bash the game with hopes that Nrs finally listens.. But if those people were smart then they'll learn to talk with their wallets by not purchasing the next game nrs decides to put out.. So in hindsight, I would expect atleast half of the player base to skip out on preorders for future Nrs titles....
@@Ghillie_Beast_ytit was weird since it was already 140gb then had to free up 70gb for chaos reigns but after downloading it’s only 140gb still. That’s still a lot for a fighting game… probably because of all the cinematic tho. And poor optimization
Facts! It really hit the fan for me when I first noticed some of the cameos are also in the playable roster! Like “you’re not even going to enrich the roster with variety?”
Quite a presentation here Tom… I can easily grasp all this, comprehend and agree to what was said, however it’s not that easy to change certain things when you’re limited by position. It’s a lot of pressure, we only do what we’re told with deadlines and high expectations from higher-ups.
it's also a sad reality, but what's funny is that this toxic behavior of these incompetent business leaders in gaming destroys licenses and when this is the case they strangely do what they should have done for a long time, we saw it clearly with call of duty last year
Understood ✌🏼. It seems like what Tom is doing with these videos is the best response we as a community can have towards those higher-ups without becoming unreasonabley rude. Although us paying money to play the game is an even trade-off towards the work devs put in. Meaning I'm entitled to whatever opinion, regardless of the NRS workplace struggles.
This series hasn’t been right since MK X. And I’m not even talking about how the game has less features and modes. Mortal kombat 1 feels like shit to play. It’s janky. Most of the characters can’t do anything fun. The gameplay has been restrictive since mk 11. I don’t know how they make such fun to play games (Mk 9, X) and just go in the other direction. Blows my mind.
Wait.... There's no Lobbies!? That aside, you are right about The current game with the new Karachters being much better than, poke, poke, duck, poke, throw then poke. We need HYPE BULLSHIT!
Yes sir, we need more of that. Like what we see in Tekken8 there’s a lot of hyped BS there, the power there is high across the roster, there’s certain characters there also that does unga bonga sh1t, which is what General Shao should do for someone of his power as he been known in MK klassic games, he was powerful Hyped sh1t boss.
They should have stoped at the reseted timeline idea, the infinite timelines with crazy versions of every character is terrible, thats what was wrong with the previous games, turned MK lore into a joke. I loved this new reimagining of the MK story when they first announced it, it had such potential. Also the kameos are so annoying, i rarely use them and i hate that they need to be present in every match. MK is suposted to be a 1x1 fight to the death not a WWE tag team. I wish they made the kameos optional.
I said this the other day. There was soo much potential there but they chose to go on the multiverse of madness bullshit. It went from just defending earth realm to defending a whole fucking timeline 🤣😂
Superb point about viewers watching enticing fighting content versus poking. The combat scene should be fun and draw viewers to the game, instead of catering exclusively to pro players only which leaves lower viewer ratings at tournaments. Splendid video.
1. Invasion still a cramp 2. Story is meh 3. Price for the expansion is too high 4. Towers of time are laughable 5. Characters are cool i guess (in my opinion)
@@jz390 You can get $60 easily doing ligit crap in 1-2 hours of work. If you don't like the game just don't buy it at all. Game is good except for them nerfing the dmg on characters which is getting ridiculous other than that no complaints.

Its an improvement, but is it enough to make me play more than an hour ever again? Fuck no. MK1 is a permanently be demoted to "play like 4 matches and get off" category

We wouldn’t be here if NRS had just done legacy. I’ll grab this expansion when it’s on sale for $20. I’m done and moved on/converted to Tekken. No rant, hope those that play enjoy, genuinely glad MK is still alive for you.
The community is also a big part of why MK has died. We finally get fun kharacters and the community is already crying for nerfs... screw them, MK fans do nothing but hurt their game.
That is exactly why I hate this community, they constantly cry and moan, wanting new things cause they hate the current stuff, yet when they get new things they cry and moan harder. That’s the whole reason why I’m not buying another mortal kombat game after mk1. I’m fed up with this community
@@intellectic9155you aren’t wrong, but he is also right. Back in mkx people been crying, back when MK was “peak” as many say. Truth is bad or good, MK fandom will always complain.
The continuing problem with MK (for years) is it does not do the things that fighting game developers do. The lobbies, practice mode match que etc etc. NRS would rather make story mode, animalities,trailers- surface level content. SF and Tekken are still fighters first that have upped their other other content. The gameplay is NOT NRS’s focus and man it really shows.
I spent good money on getting the ultimate edition of this game thinking I’d get all DLC included just for NRS to say “hey you gotta cough up another $50 to get this content.” Yea I’m good. This game can die for all I care. Oh wait
That's your fault. It was well described what was you getting with the game's each edition. And you also had MK11 as an example. NRS made the exact same dlc content (two KP and a story expansion) for that game. Don't blame others for you having spent money blindly.
Imagine how good this game were without Kameosytem, but because of the shit nobody asked for, they have to fix their game a million times. Now they got something like a loop with cyrax. So they have to fix again how things should work. They could take 2-3 pro gamers to test new fighters before release and they tell you after one day whats to strong, you can loop with him/her you have to decrease or increase this or that and then release your fighters
Even if they make the gameplay of mk1 good, all the damage that's been done to the story and characters is irreversible, and that's half of why i love mortal kombat. sad to see MK in this state.
@@isxl-iy2gkYes, I’m having fun too. MK1 feels better now with the newest update with Khaos realm, with the new things added, it’s true what MK Tom said, now it feels more like an MK game, so yea it’s going in the right direction, because there’s more freedom, more identity, less poke poke poke, more variaty in gameplay, but our boy Sub-zero still haven’t got anything new, that is another reason Sub-zero is very punishable because it’s known what SZ does, so they just waiting to counter to punish you, with the buff roster and same nerf hardly buff Sub-zero. Now Noob saibot is the better version of Sub-zero Bi-han. Anyhow, I’m having fun playing MK 1 and more now.
@@Muddyhandz-typist You kidding right? This update is the best it’s been, the last good patch came with Ermac and Takeda, but this one is a step ahead better, it’s in the right direction gameplay wise for MK1.
Why would anyone in the right mind pay $50 for this clear cash grab? Literally every WB game the last few years have been unfinished, trash games. I watched the story mode on UA-cam for free and was still disappointed with how much they ruined this franchise.
It's only been a year my guy nd tbh if ppl didn't rush for a new mk so much we probably wouldn't be in this situation bcuz this cameo shit was for injustice 3
@@ghost-1nklegendary225 Studio's issues are not of our concern (moreover when they ruined themselves opposing their base audience and releasing woke flops). And M1K barely have changed for those who don't get the expansion. I remind you people already have paied up to 120 $/€ for this bs. It shouldn't be necesary to pay any more to have a decent game.
TL;DL version: *Game balance is only important in a professional environment, where players will always gravitate to the "best" characters. Conversely, an obsession with balance can be a detriment to fun factor and replay value -- the factors fighting games live and die by.*
the things it yeah it different if u pay to play the dlcs are way better than the free cast if u play scorpion and sub zero it would be poke poke micro duck grab poke poke poke
They improved so much on performance on PS5, the framerate stuttering was SO annoying after Brutalities, and I basically end all matches with Brutalities for the koins. The new stages look great, Tower handling is less stupid, Cyrax and Sektor are very fun to play (Noob is the usual I guess). And unlockables for every character which require 50 matches to unlock. EACH. -_-
I disagree with you. Its pay to win with tampax and sextoy as well as most of the dlc. What about the main cast? They cant compete with the new Dlc like homelander or cyrax or Havik. They have no idea how to balance characters and only care about $. NRS is so lazy.
One issue i have with noob is the green magic he has. Ik it's a new timeline but how many characters are gona have green flare? Just in this this we got ermac, both cyrax, reptile, Janet c, quan chi, Shang, chameleon and now noob. Greens my favorite colour but it almost feels to much 😅
Good as usual Tom. Old school MK player here in my 40’s. You’re right. It’s ironic that MK thrives off of Chaos. The patch is the perfect name for it. The BS characters as you say just have random chaotic bs and it’s fun. MK9 is my fav out of the new timeline and it was full of chaotic BS. Its an improvement
I've never been to this channel but I'm gonna subscribe you ain't never lie everything you said was true 😂😂😂 poke grab poke grab poke grab is for sure the meta it's been a while since I played but imma get back on when scream comes out
You can actually still do laos armored launcher for 1 bar. On hit you don’t have to spend the extra bar. Which when armoring through gaps or pokes it’s always gonna hit. He still didn’t need the nerf though at all because like you said he was built around it. He’s definitely fallen down the tier list tho because he can’t keep up with all these buffs. He literally can’t break haviks armor anymore unless you play double Lao.
Lao was my main but I’ve pretty much dropped him for sektor because they just won’t show him any love. Air hat is freaking useless in combos. Even PL was like why is this what they gave him of all things?
When he says characters need more BS look at a game like UMVC3 for example. Every chat set in that game has absolute nonsense in some way but there are still noticeable top tiers.
The Mvc series is a different animal all together. It has a different standard for casuals. Just look at the people complaining about the wazzler. And you expect that to appeal mk playerbase. nah Mk is way more casual than that.
Yeah that’s fine, but I’m just giving an example of what he’s talking about “characters with BS”. I’ve never been a huge mk player, at least not competitively. But yeah, just look at the grassroots popularity of mvc3 in particular. Sure people might not like it for MK, but that’s partly why the game is suffering competitively at least. And I’ve played mvc2 but not nearly as much as mvc3. The same rules kind of apply but honestly I think mvc3 is better.
It was so bad. Like in the last battle we see titan havik rip his arm off and grow new bodies to fight. Are you honestly telling me when he is defeated by noob he can't do that? Bruh the entrance he threw his head in mileenas thrown room and picked it up with a headless body...we don't even see what happens to him after he is defeated. It's so dumb. They need to reset the timeline again and just make a new original story before armageddon and the reset of timelines. It's so shit now
I was interested in the story in MK1 and where they were going up until I realized they were going full into the mulitverse/time travel thing again. After that I just didn't care about the story so the story expansion being horrendous doesn't bother me as much as it should. Gameplay wise if they keep adding well designed characters and they can bring up the rest of the cast the game could be great. Game devs in general have somehow not realized that it is better to focus on buffs with occasional nerfs. We have countless examples of games brought down by over nerfing and every content creator/player is constantly complaining about it yet every game now it seems the devs nerf everything fun.
Lol 😂 poke! Poke! Ty for the video. I have not picked up the expansion due to lack of reviews. Looks like I'll just wait for a sale cuz I have not seen much talk about this and that's the cuz the trailers were great.
TAKEDA DAMAGE NERF! I KNEW it! Will anyone still play him and esp. when 3 new characters are playable at the same time or will he be forgotten? Regular Takeda (non-Khaos version) is the only MK roster character that’s not in the story mode.
I never understood why ppl were so happy that there was gonna be so much color and brightness in the game. MK has always been dark, all the brightness and pretty look if it was always weird to me.
WOKE cult took over this game, that’s why last 2 MK games have such high brightness, warm colours and high color saturation… because of this they attracted lots of woke people and casual players… casual gameplay, casual visuals etc.
@@V-95K also dudes are made to look weak, soft and effemine while chicks dont even look like chicks anymore. fems rule now because of WOUMAN POUWAHH B S even shao kahn is nerfed, made into a generic goon because Woke-NRS probably made excuse of toxic masc
I'm liking the changes to Takeda even though they nerfed his damage it was warranted given the hit box buffs on his b21 I do agree that Tanya does not feel the same pressure/stager wise she feels more negative than usual which is probably the case which idk why they did that. They also nerfed her base damage which I assume is because you can launch with meterless drill kick when charged up but she feels like she doesn't have the same kind of pressure spin kick aside.
Depending on who you’re watching you won’t see pokes as much as you seem to think there was. Just don’t watch beginners and you wouldn’t see so many pokes
Tom, you said so perfectly! When I saw SonicFox's gameplay for Cyrax with her resets, I was like finally we're back to MK again, BUT I also said to myself, here come the cry babies screaming NERF Cyrax!😢 I haven't watched this much content of MK in so long. I've been playing MK since the very 1st MK in the arcade, and back then, you had to fight through it! It wasn't no crying, "He's OP, please NERF him." You had to find a way to beat that fighter, which showed people your true skill if you could figure that person out! If Netherelm can keep going this direction and NO MORE NERFING, then I can see this game actually surpassing Streetfight 6, DBFZ, Tekken 8, etc to being back at the top like MK 9 and MKX was. If they do any nerfs on Cyrax, especially her reset, I think I'ma be done with this game after that because clearly you only what this game to just be a poke and throw session for 90 seconds and I can't play nor watch anyone play that way. It's too boring.
i think the game is fun but i agree, i just think they need a non cameo mode and give all characters new moves to work without cameos. it would make the game even more complex and people would like the game more.
story mode was buns tho
Story mode was so laughably trash, they clearly don’t know what to do anymore
So fking true. The ending is absolute hilariously bad
bad decisions characters made, MCU plot with random infinity stones inclusion, annoying characters and plotlines that really didn’t matter.
The best part was the beginning ambush and the choreography was a good step up. MK has lost all its aura and feel lmao its really a shell
trash
This story added absolutely nothing!
Random unrelated characters walking in a dungeon, fight another pair, pair swaps roles, repeat fight. Cringe and boring....
No one asked for an assist fighter version of MK!!!! We did want Tag Mode like MK9 but as its own mode outside of 1v1 and tournaments.

That is actually why I didn't get the game. I think it is stupid that a character needs a cameo assist just to feel complete. Where they just pop in.
the multiverse and gender swaps are perfectly fine, its a new timeline and new things after all. But kameos weren't needed
Amen. Less pokes, more MKX fast pace
Keep dreaming 😂

Imagine how good this game were without Kameosytem, but because of the shit nobody asked for, they have to fix their game a million times. Now they got something like a loop with cyrax. So they have to fix again how things should work. They could take 2-3 pro gamers to test new fighters before release and they tell you after one day whats to strong, you can loop with him/her you have to decrease or increase this or that and then release your fighters
There clearly was Khaos in the story because the writers don't know what they're doing.
Even if they make the gameplay of mk1 good, all the damage that's been done to the story and characters is irreversible, and that's half of why i love mortal kombat. sad to see MK in this state.
Push the roster back to MK9. Noob cage cyrax and sector etc plays like their MK9 counter part AND THEY LOOK AMAZING!
LOL we're gonna have cry babies on our hands if we go back to that OG route. We, well like what Tom said, "We're are from a different MK cloth"
@@sonny凡 Hate that you're right. Man I wish this wasn't the case.
This game is sadly still not fun regardless
Idk I'm having fun
@@isxl-iy2gkYes, I’m having fun too. MK1 feels better now with the newest update with Khaos realm, with the new things added, it’s true what MK Tom said, now it feels more like an MK game, so yea it’s going in the right direction, because there’s more freedom, more identity, less poke poke poke, more variaty in gameplay, but our boy Sub-zero still haven’t got anything new, that is another reason Sub-zero is very punishable because it’s known what SZ does, so they just waiting to counter to punish you, with the buff roster and same nerf hardly buff Sub-zero. Now Noob saibot is the better version of Sub-zero Bi-han. Anyhow, I’m having fun playing MK 1 and more now.
I’m not having fun either this update sucks overrated and over priced
@@Muddyhandz-typist You kidding right? This update is the best it’s been, the last good patch came with Ermac and Takeda, but this one is a step ahead better, it’s in the right direction gameplay wise for MK1.
As someone who hated yr one of this game, that's a damn lie. It's 10x better.
Glad to see you back still fighting gor the improvement of the game. I think they ate using these three as a test of how they should buff the roster
Why would anyone in the right mind pay $50 for this clear cash grab? Literally every WB game the last few years have been unfinished, trash games. I watched the story mode on UA-cam for free and was still disappointed with how much they ruined this franchise.
how good is mk after dlc
the same but you got some more characters now ..video done
Even if it is “fun” now, after a year of waiting I couldn’t care less. Didn’t buy the DLC and will never play again.
It's only been a year my guy nd tbh if ppl didn't rush for a new mk so much we probably wouldn't be in this situation bcuz this cameo shit was for injustice 3
@@ghost-1nklegendary225 Studio's issues are not of our concern (moreover when they ruined themselves opposing their base audience and releasing woke flops). And M1K barely have changed for those who don't get the expansion. I remind you people already have paied up to 120 $/€ for this bs. It shouldn't be necesary to pay any more to have a decent game.
So why are you here?
@@mikeliribaregana3703 this game is more underwhelming than Mortal Kombat 11 at least that game still had content
They really brought back Cyraxs bomb setups? Wow never thought they’d ever do that again. Color me intrigued
TL;DL version:
*Game balance is only important in a professional environment, where players will always gravitate to the "best" characters. Conversely, an obsession with balance can be a detriment to fun factor and replay value -- the factors fighting games live and die by.*
Even Splatoon lets you practice while you're in queue for ranked matches...
This game sucks, why would anyone spend more money on this disappointing entry
Best game in the entire series. Your fault your trash at it
@@creed200569 Pause
The only reason why you would is if you have money to burn do not buy it if you value your money
@@creed200569 🧢
It’s not that bad bro. Put away your hate boner, it’s embarrassing. Not the best mk sure but still better than most crap games nowadays
for me it feels exactly the same but now the story is trash :p
the things it yeah it different if u pay to play
the dlcs are way better than the free cast
if u play scorpion and sub zero it would be poke poke micro duck grab poke poke poke
@@MillzSznYea I feel some difference, I see more faster pace fighting and less poke poke poke now I see more mixing it up, more variarty.
They improved so much on performance on PS5, the framerate stuttering was SO annoying after Brutalities, and I basically end all matches with Brutalities for the koins. The new stages look great, Tower handling is less stupid, Cyrax and Sektor are very fun to play (Noob is the usual I guess). And unlockables for every character which require 50 matches to unlock. EACH. -_-
I disagree with you. Its pay to win with tampax and sextoy as well as most of the dlc. What about the main cast? They cant compete with the new Dlc like homelander or cyrax or Havik. They have no idea how to balance characters and only care about $. NRS is so lazy.
Aside from the MASSIVELY disappointing story expansion, this update isn’t bad. Noob, Sektor and Cyrax are all dope.
One issue i have with noob is the green magic he has. Ik it's a new timeline but how many characters are gona have green flare? Just in this this we got ermac, both cyrax, reptile, Janet c, quan chi, Shang, chameleon and now noob. Greens my favorite colour but it almost feels to much 😅
I hope they add the option to change that portal color of his back to purple in the near future
Leveling him up unlocks a palette with purple instead of green.
the power scaling was soo ass, it like creating a scenerio where Kobra beats Onaga and blaze 2v1
Good as usual Tom. Old school MK player here in my 40’s. You’re right. It’s ironic that MK thrives off of Chaos. The patch is the perfect name for it. The BS characters as you say just have random chaotic bs and it’s fun. MK9 is my fav out of the new timeline and it was full of chaotic BS. Its an improvement
I've never been to this channel but I'm gonna subscribe you ain't never lie everything you said was true 😂😂😂 poke grab poke grab poke grab is for sure the meta it's been a while since I played but imma get back on when scream comes out
Exactly why Reiko needs a buff we’ve been playing the same way for the whole game
This expansion is legalized robbery 😂.
16:44 Facts!
i really really really really really hope the confusing time line stuff goes away
Raiden definitely needs help. He’s been bad for months
You can actually still do laos armored launcher for 1 bar. On hit you don’t have to spend the extra bar. Which when armoring through gaps or pokes it’s always gonna hit. He still didn’t need the nerf though at all because like you said he was built around it. He’s definitely fallen down the tier list tho because he can’t keep up with all these buffs. He literally can’t break haviks armor anymore unless you play double Lao.
Lao was my main but I’ve pretty much dropped him for sektor because they just won’t show him any love. Air hat is freaking useless in combos. Even PL was like why is this what they gave him of all things?
When he says characters need more BS look at a game like UMVC3 for example. Every chat set in that game has absolute nonsense in some way but there are still noticeable top tiers.
The Mvc series is a different animal all together. It has a different standard for casuals. Just look at the people complaining about the wazzler. And you expect that to appeal mk playerbase. nah Mk is way more casual than that.
Yeah that’s fine, but I’m just giving an example of what he’s talking about “characters with BS”. I’ve never been a huge mk player, at least not competitively. But yeah, just look at the grassroots popularity of mvc3 in particular. Sure people might not like it for MK, but that’s partly why the game is suffering competitively at least. And I’ve played mvc2 but not nearly as much as mvc3. The same rules kind of apply but honestly I think mvc3 is better.
I would buff everything and if it’s too much you can adjust it
It was so bad. Like in the last battle we see titan havik rip his arm off and grow new bodies to fight. Are you honestly telling me when he is defeated by noob he can't do that? Bruh the entrance he threw his head in mileenas thrown room and picked it up with a headless body...we don't even see what happens to him after he is defeated. It's so dumb. They need to reset the timeline again and just make a new original story before armageddon and the reset of timelines. It's so shit now
Mk1 sucks
Agreed
It’s a pile of hot garbage 🔥💩
So stop watching content on it 🤡
So why are you here??
@@TobeyStarburst because I feel like being here
I was interested in the story in MK1 and where they were going up until I realized they were going full into the mulitverse/time travel thing again. After that I just didn't care about the story so the story expansion being horrendous doesn't bother me as much as it should.
Gameplay wise if they keep adding well designed characters and they can bring up the rest of the cast the game could be great. Game devs in general have somehow not realized that it is better to focus on buffs with occasional nerfs. We have countless examples of games brought down by over nerfing and every content creator/player is constantly complaining about it yet every game now it seems the devs nerf everything fun.
Lol 😂 poke! Poke! Ty for the video. I have not picked up the expansion due to lack of reviews. Looks like I'll just wait for a sale cuz I have not seen much talk about this and that's the cuz the trailers were great.
Looks good...wait a week...
Looks...🤔
Excellent commentary, opinion and perspective!
Do you think they're gonna come out with more?Invasions
TAKEDA DAMAGE NERF! I KNEW it! Will anyone still play him and esp. when 3 new characters are playable at the same time or will he be forgotten? Regular Takeda (non-Khaos version) is the only MK roster character that’s not in the story mode.
The story expansion was super generic and really pointless. These characters have zero protagonist charm.
Sub-Zero still sucks
Still not buying that's the answer.
TIER LIST, Tom, if ya feel like it at some point?!
I never understood why ppl were so happy that there was gonna be so much color and brightness in the game. MK has always been dark, all the brightness and pretty look if it was always weird to me.
WOKE cult took over this game, that’s why last 2 MK games have such high brightness, warm colours and high color saturation… because of this they attracted lots of woke people and casual players… casual gameplay, casual visuals etc.
@@V-95K also dudes are made to look weak, soft and effemine while chicks dont even look like chicks anymore. fems rule now because of WOUMAN POUWAHH B S even shao kahn is nerfed, made into a generic goon because Woke-NRS probably made excuse of toxic masc
Love turning on the game now and seeing Titan Havik's face in the beginning. Feels so much more like MK now.
As stupid as this sounds I think we need another reboot it doesn’t live up to the hype mk11 built it up to be
Too little, waaay too late. Stop rewarding them for this second rate kashgrab.
MK1 is in a good place right now. Good changes
So are u basically saying that the MK 1 game that we bought was incomplete?😏
I'm liking the changes to Takeda even though they nerfed his damage it was warranted given the hit box buffs on his b21
I do agree that Tanya does not feel the same pressure/stager wise she feels more negative than usual which is probably the case which idk why they did that. They also nerfed her base damage which I assume is because you can launch with meterless drill kick when charged up but she feels like she doesn't have the same kind of pressure spin kick aside.
Personally, I am really enjoying it and I was pretty critical in the beginning but to be honest, I am having fun playing
Players should vote with their wallets and let NRS feel
Depending on who you’re watching you won’t see pokes as much as you seem to think there was. Just don’t watch beginners and you wouldn’t see so many pokes
It’s season 8 and Kitana still doesn’t have an overhead string 😞
the video comparisons almost made me redownload the game 🤣 idk im just not reeled back in with MK
At least with lao, you're plus if you sirens the extra bar on block
Sikander called him broken😂
BEHOLD THE MKU!!🤣🤣🤣
As someone who likes multiple timelines the story mode was so horribly trash
Tom, you said so perfectly! When I saw SonicFox's gameplay for Cyrax with her resets, I was like finally we're back to MK again, BUT I also said to myself, here come the cry babies screaming NERF Cyrax!😢 I haven't watched this much content of MK in so long. I've been playing MK since the very 1st MK in the arcade, and back then, you had to fight through it! It wasn't no crying, "He's OP, please NERF him." You had to find a way to beat that fighter, which showed people your true skill if you could figure that person out! If Netherelm can keep going this direction and NO MORE NERFING, then I can see this game actually surpassing Streetfight 6, DBFZ, Tekken 8, etc to being back at the top like MK 9 and MKX was. If they do any nerfs on Cyrax, especially her reset, I think I'ma be done with this game after that because clearly you only what this game to just be a poke and throw session for 90 seconds and I can't play nor watch anyone play that way. It's too boring.
