Why the hell did Bi-Han admit to Scorpion's accusations? For all Cyrax knew, it was completely baseless. His "evidence" was a scar that Bi-Han still would have reason to give him if *he* was the betrayer. She had no reason to believe Scorpion.
I'm still laughing that Bi-Han was all "I have a plan when Cyrax finds out", but his plan, if that's what actually even happened, boiled down to "admit my sins in her face then kill her"
It shows that a character can’t be smarter than the writer. Bro literally recreated a whole timeline and put every villains back into it. “I’m sure it will be fine this time”. Even without interferences from other timelines, it was a ticking bomb
@@arpadszabo661I think he set them up to not be villains but outside interference from the alternate dimensions caused them to change. It’s still just dumb though
@@arpadszabo661 Pretty sure Liu Kang has the same limitations as his predecessor who kept Raiden despite how many times he was spanner in the works.

So, despite the changes Lui Kang/NetherRealm writers made to reboot, the ninja's are back to the status-quo: Bi-han is evil and on his way to becoming Noob Sector is loyal to Lin Quei Syrax questiobs the way things go Smoke is Quai Lianq's bff with no personality of his own The only things that changed is Quai Liang taking Hanzo's place and story arc and Cyborgs being born with 2 X chromosomes.
"I don't think it's a low." I hope Kenny realizes that the pause button is right there and they can just look it up in game lol (MK puts everything in their skill menu UI, including frame data).
Y‘know, for the fact that they rebooted the series a second time now, they really couldn’t have done anything actually new and unique with the characters? Cyrax and Sektor basically still play the exact same role except genderswapped and with accents. They made the radical decision of making Kuai Liang Scorpion, but just copypasted Hanzo‘s entire origin story on him and called it a day, wasting every actual cool potential that decision had including Bi Han just being the evil brother again. So instead of making Kuai Liang Noob Saibot as an ironic twist, they just made him Bi Han again. The worst part is, there are characters that show a great new take on the character like Reptile, Baraka, Kenshi & Johnny and Mileena, but then you get sloppy works for most of the other characters.
I agree with everything except one thing, the new take on Johnny Cage. He is the same again. And they are basically telling the path of the hero for Johnny for the third time. (maybe more).
@@mstevensh that’s why i combined Johnny and Kenshi because instead of having a romance story with Sonya again, this time it’s Johnny and Kenshi becoming great friends and building respect to one another + Johnny has a deeper origin story too with him being married and now divorced. And as a cool little extra point, no green powers whatsoever, meaning he might not be the god-slayer he was in the previous timeline.
@@zippolighter4903 oh i *HATE* Reiko in this game. In the old Midway games, he was actually a pretty cool headed and cool general of Shao Kahn who was somewhat supposed to be Shao Kahn‘s replacement, but also secretly planned to backstab Shao Kahn too. He seemed like a guy with actual interesting potential. In MKX, we know it was him who created the rules everyone follows to keep a stable relationship between all the realms. In MK1, he‘s the quintessential goon who is following the bugger bad guy and everyone beats him up.
“Copypasted Hanzo’s entire origin story on him” Did Kuai get killed by Bi-Han? And lose his family to him? Become a vengeful spirit? No. No he did not.
When they're discussing Cyrax possibly turning on them and Sub zero said "We'll be ready when she does", I'm thinking that means they must have some sort of backup plan. At least , that's what common sense would say. Like, Maybe Cyrax's suit has some sort of built-in Override command that allows Sektor to control the suit remotely, even while Cyrax is inside it. Or at bare minimum, maybe Cyrax's suit has a self Destruct built into it, or Sektor has some way to auto-lock/Deactivate the suit. SOMETHING If they didn't have a backup plan and they KNOW Cyrax is likely to turn on them when she learns the truth, then why Bring her on this mission in the first place? You had plenty of advantage without her. Literally had the place Surrounded with hundreds of Archers on all sides and Sektor raining bullets through the only exit. It should have been a Bloodbath. Instead, you Run in (Losing your positional advantage of having your enemy Surrounded), tell Cyrax the truth without having a backup plan, and immediately get your ass kicked and captured.

There’s a lot of misinformation being spread in this comment section, so I want to help prevent the spread of it. Warning that I will mention some intros and post Khaos Reigns stuff, since it is connected to this. Old timeline Cyrax was from Botswana, but New Era Cyrax is from Nigeria (specifically the Air Mountains are where the Zaki, a sub family of the Lin Kuei, are based.) Sektor’s family consists of former Master Armorer Longwei, Madam Bo, and Sektor has some siblings. Seemingly the meta reason why they made Cyrax and Sektor women, is because Cyrax and Sektor’s relationships with the brothers are deeper than before (Cyrax had a relationship in the past with Kuai Liang and may replace Jacqui as Takeda’s love interest, while Sektor’s in love with Bi-Han and he has feelings for her as well, which both of their feelings of love manipulate their decisions in the story) and not because they didn’t have enough female characters in. Cyrax and Sektor are just codenames like all Lin Kuei assassins (Johnny asks if Sektor is her real name and it’s pretty clear that it’s not.) Genderbending isn’t new for MK1 or MK11, as Madam Bo is meant to be Bo Rai Cho in the New Era and female Fujin and Nightwolf are in their respective Tower Endings of MK11 (Raiden also has a sister in MK1, which could be Fujin or the theory that she is a take on Amaterasu.) WB is responsible for MK9-12, they didn’t start with this MK (NRS wrote Jax and Fujin’s Tower Endings in MK11 along with everything else and they are also canon via the multiverse.) A side note is that Longwei is coming out of retirement, Sektor is not the Lin Kuei in Sub-Zero’s Tower Ending because her uniform is red, and the Lin Kuei still follows Noob and are ok with his methods, but Madam Bo is secretly crying (Kung Lao found out) that her daughter is going down a dark path. It seems Cyrax’s wish from MK11 came true and while she has technology to assist her in combat, Cyrax escaped becoming a cyborg and is now part of the Shirai Ryu and helping train Hanzo (Liu Kang instructed her to train him.) Sektor and Bi-Han’s love is mutual, even when he becomes Noob (when he found out Shang tried to capture her, he got angry, despite her being unharmed and other intros with Kenshi and some others directly mention their relationship.) Also, regarding the Lin Kuei codenames, MK9’s Kuai Liang was Tundra and Sub-Zero was passed to him and if Frost inherits the name, it would be a similar situation (in this New Era, Cryomancy in the Lin Kuei of China is genetic and why Smoke had to learn minor smoke magic, which would debunk young Hanzo from Japan becoming Sub-Zero.)
THANK you. People cannot grasp Sektor, and Cryax are codenames for the units/suits not the person or entity inside the suit as multiple have been made, and most of the concepts in mk1 are very consistent in mk lore. WE'VE HAD 3 SUBZEROS
Yall help im like 2 minutes in and I can't stand the MCU face window stuff. do Cyrax/Sektor use it often? Im fine with the designs I just want them to never activate that part of the model rig.
So now we start the raid on the wedding with cyrax, who we know will betray us as soon as she knows the truth and as soon as we are winning we reveal the whole truth to her so that we lose in the end … You can‘t beat the genius of that 🤷🏻♂️
When i first watched the story i was disappointed cuz it felt so short but i rewatched it again today and it wasn't as bad as i thought but it felt like they cut stuff out - and rushed this i wish they took more time but its wtv
Probably more along the lines of them being too stingy and cheap to get her back in the first place and the story being so garbage and rushed that they didn’t even want to.
The absolute state of millennial western “writers” here. Modern MK is an amazing franchise. It parasitizes on “violence” and yet somehow manages to be one of the most soy, boring, flat universes, with the most boring characters ever.

So now we start the raid on the wedding with cyrax, who we know will betray us as soon as she knows the truth and as soon as we are winning we reveal the whole truth to her so that we lose in the end … You can‘t beat the genius of that 🤷🏻♂️
Why are Cyrax and Sektor attacking black ninjas at the wedding?.. isn't that their crew?
God please don't change my main menu screen If I don't own this dlc.
Sektor’s VA is the main character in Ghost of Yotei 😮
Wait actually, if so Jin’s VA is scorpion
@@galacticspecter4364 yeah but who cares? Lol. The character sucks in this dlc
She's a horrible person in social media.
The price of this DLC hasn't gone down well
United States secret service *DAMN*
It’s sad, and have more questions than answers
I'd love to see the Switch version streamed, gotta love those dead eyes 😳
And with the doods!? Need this story mode playthrough expeditiously!
When i first watched the story i was disappointed cuz it felt so short but i rewatched it again today and it wasn't as bad as i thought but it felt like they cut stuff out - and rushed this i wish they took more time but its wtv
MK11 skins of Cyrax and Sektor were the best!
I’m not the only one thinking Khameleon looks like Kiwi from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, right?
Damn I remember nothing from before. Or was there another chapter in the story?
And I give credit for NRS if people said it’s ok or boring at least we got new content
I’m happy for you that your bar is so low . You’re part of the problem as to why video games fucking suck now.
Youre part of the problem. "Its boring but its new". That sounds stupid as hell lol
Mortal Khaos 1 Kombat Reigns
So cool!
Raiden, he said his thing at 9:56!!! :D
21:05 LMAOO
Havik is Fire Marshall Bill lol
bro when i saw natara show up on screen i was so worried i was gonna hear megan fox but nah they really said "fuck you megan fox!"
Probably more along the lines of them being too stingy and cheap to get her back in the first place and the story being so garbage and rushed that they didn’t even want to.
I'm just wondering if Toretto gonna fight for family 😂
I played the expansion and I was disappointed.
@@johnnyzero8853 I can’t believe NRS made an awful story mode worse than SFV. FUCKING SFV’S A SHADOW’S FALLS
I’m glad I didn’t pay money for this
6:29
Ah yes, Ed Boon's never ending commitment to never, ever allow Scorpion to be happy for even one second
And according to Boon, it's his "favorite" character.
what about zero? chop liver!?
@@keronstewart9446 Sub-Zero was the best he ever was as Kuai Liang. It's Bi-Han who is chopped liver, yes.
@@tonywatts2584
tell that to ed boon
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@keronstewart9446 Well, with how Sub-Zero plays in Mortal Kombat 1, Boon's already said it for me.
So if Subzero and Sektor knew Cyrax wouldn’t go with their plans why did they give her armor?
The absolute state of millennial western “writers” here.
Modern MK is an amazing franchise. It parasitizes on “violence” and yet somehow manages to be one of the most soy, boring, flat universes, with the most boring characters ever.
It was Fire Marshal Bill on In Living Color not Mad TV
