"Whiffing on hit" is an absolutely diabolical sentence
Still better than a char who 'hits on whiff'.
@edgelord121 that's just the majority of terraria melee weapons
Literally just Kabal in mk9 LOL
Funny that mk11 had this problem to until one of the final patches
A mighty fall from the strongest character in mk history. On all fronts.
I liked his goofy classic MK jump. Everyone else flips but he just does this lumbering hop. Makes him feel like more of a threat. He may not be as nimble as everyone else but the ground shaking on his landing sells that he has more than enough power to make up for it.
You call it goofy, but a lot of characters jump that way in the new games.
@@dugthefreshest It's still goofy. MK has never really captured the art of decent-looking animations.
@@dugthefreshest Still looks kinda silly lol
@@wadespencer3623i think mk9 animation is decent
@@shori8438 Every time I look at it it's bad in a whole new way. Shockingly terrible.
His Armageddon meta is amusingly ironic. Considering he was the canon winner.
Part of me really wanted to say "Do a video on Kintaro", and then it hit me that "Competitive History of Kintaro" is literally not a thing.
He could still upload a video, it’d just be 20-30 minutes of a black screen
Same for Goro but at least he's properly playable in like 2 or 3 games
MK11 Shao Kahn is right now in a very good spot. Yes he's complicated to use, but his damage, range, and options are exactly what would you expect from a boss character. So being a boss character that is difficult to use, that is indeed an awesome and rewarding character.
That makes the Kahn vs Kahn (Kotal vs Shao) matchups all the more interesting because, in a way, they're different kinds of bosses. Shao Kahn obliterates health bars and deals the kind of damage that makes newer players sweat. Kotal, meanwhile, is all about reads and buffs, and a runaway Kotal that gets the setups can be absolutely unbeatable.
@@Babs11549 Good points dude
He's better in mk9
@@Darth-vade123That doesn't count.
He’s considered one of the worst characters by top tournament players
I really hope that Shang Tsung gets the next episode of this series.
Been waiting for that for ages
Nothing like a new mk character history on a Friday night.
'Nuff said
I mean hey! We watched it lol
Nothing like it!
On a Wednesday night
MK Annihilation Shao Khan: *AND IT! IS! GLORIOUS!*
Competitive History videos on this channel are like coming home to a nice warm bowl of soup, familiar, wholesome, well made and always something that I'm happy to see.
MK11 Shao Khan is probally one of the most fun characters to play, his attacks are brutal, his combos are stylish and with the last patch made him so much more viable
I love how he looks and plays in MK11! The final patch was a godsend, now he's solid and super fun to use.
I'm sick and can't do a whole lot at the moment. Ketchup, thank you for being an absolute hero and uploading some MK in my life when I need it. As is usual, an incredible video.
As for the next Competitive History, I think Kano or Raiden would be pretty awesome to see. Keep up the EXCELLENT work and thank you for all you do.
I was actually really sick a couple days ago, same with my sisters. Something has to be floating around. Either that or it's the temperature infrequency
THE KAHN himself. One of the first true trolls of the fighting genre. Great stuff as usual. Wouldn't mind seeing kabal for the next competitive history btw
I love playing him on MK11. His fatalities in MK are as brutal as he is.
First thing that honestly popped in my head was "HWAT! HAU!"
I honestly always liked Shao Kahn in MK11 even well before the final patch, but maybe that's mainly because I always played offline with variations.
As an addendum to the Trilogy section, N64 MKT Shao Kahn is far closer to his UMK3 counterpart. He lacks the extra moves but his hammer stuns on hit as it normally would, but he can't spam it like the CPU does, and his charge attacks can stunlock on block. Oh and uh, there's a bit of a risk playing as him in single player. Normally, Reptile's Force Ball is actually disabled while he's in play, but the CPU ignores this limitation. If Shao Kahn gets hit by it without blocking it, the game crashes
Oh yeah by the way: there's an exploit in the N64 version that lets you play as Shao Kahn throughout the entirety of the single player mode without being restricted to the certain stages where you can turn into him. Simply do a Two Player match and play on whatever stage Shao Kahn is playable in (Rooftop, Pit 3, Kahn's Kave) and input the transformation code on both rounds, then win and simply let the timer run out. Then choose a ladder and Kahn will be playable for the rest of the game until you lose or win
I loved his MK11 appearance - MKX had Kotal Khan which had some Shao Khan vibes - but in MK11 there were both, and both are awesome!
9:16 made me 💀
10/10 content my dude.
6:58
Ayyy finally covering one of the big boys. Thanks for keeping the community alive in these awkward years
My brother is a Shao main in Mortal Kombat: Unchained, he knows the pain… the suffering… and the fun whenever he crushes you…
0:55 Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (16-Bit) & Mortal Kombat Trilogy
3:37 Mortal Kombat Deception (Gamecube)
7:29 Mortal Kombat Armageddon
9:47 Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe
15:57 Mortal Kombat (2011)
18:11 Mortal Kombat 11
We’ve had Quan Chi. We’ve had Shao Khan. I need that Shang Tsung/Shinnok video in my veins.
these and the videos focused on a specific mk games meta are easily my favorite. definitely looking forward to the mk meta on deception the most. honestly given how sparse the quality content on the ps2 era mk games is i hope you go all out on that one
You know it’s going to be one step above all when you see MKvDC is involved in it 😤
I wish it got more love it was fun to me 🤣
@@charleshastings7260 they were pretty basic 🤣
@Charles Hastings dude best 3d Era gameplay
Man aside from Armageddon Shao didn't have a normal appearance. Either hidden character, exclusive to one console or pre-order bonus.
Like I had no idea he was playable in Deception or MK vs DC.
Fantastic video as usual, I for one appreciate the consistent feeling of joy I get from these videos, each as quality as the last.
I find it odd yet hilarious that he was good in MK vs DC.
Then again, the fact he's alright as a character in MK11 is proof anything is possible in the MK universe.
Yay, I absolutely adore these videos,
One of those rare videos I turn off whatever I was watching before and then immediately start up these.
I wish Skarlet had more appearances, as I'd love an in depth breakdown on her. Though really it's just a case of broken in MK9 and bottom tier in 11.
Loved the video my dude! I am a Shao Kahn main in MK1 and while it sucks he's not great I still rock with him. Hoping you can do one on Raiden, or Sonya!
With how ridiculously varied his viability has been in these games, I'm kinda surprised there hasn't been a game where he is both a boss and simultaneously worse than most regular characters. Seems like it would be pretty on brand at this point
He was kinda like that in Armageddon, as he was grouped up sometimes with other boss-like characters (more often than not grouped up with the likes of Goro, Kintaro, and Motaro). As a matter of fact, I remember these specific characters having a unique interaction with blocking that hurts them overall, but vaguely remember what specifically it is.
However, he wasn't a "true" boss character like Onaga, Moloch, and Blaze are, who are in the banned tier.
Shao Khan is a blast to play as in MK11 and I love his redesign.
Man. I really really love these videos. I get so excited to see these
I would adore to see a baraka competitive history. Gotta spread some love for the tarkatan
Petition to have MKvDC in future videos
Love the content!! I would love to see a Baraka video like this!!!
Great video as always! For the sake of accuracy I would like to add that the "klassic" Shao Kahn could also be played in the PC port of the vanilla MK3 (I'm not sure about other ports). Since it was still a DOS game, you had to launch it with the '1000000' parameter (much like the '666' parameter unlocks Smoke) to make Shao Kahn and Motaro playable in 2-player mode.
Yooo I've been asking for this guy for a while now! Keeping on the boss train, I'd love to see some Shinnok!
We need kompetitive history of Kitana. Pls 🥺
Great video as always could you please give Hso Hao some love cus he is surprisingly awesome in his both of his playable appearances
Together with Heihachi, Bison and Rugal. We have the fantastic four of bosses, and like the others, is my favorite character of the franchise, and i may even add, that he may be most the iconic of all fighting game bosses. Love them, love him!!! Nice video BTW
I love the competitive series please keep doing them!!!
Woooo, I was just thinking about when the next Competitive History video would drop!
Can’t wait for the day that I’m blessed with a 2 hour competitive history of either scorpion or sub-zero. Also keep up the great work guys I’ve been following y’all’s videos for a while now.
This is just what I needed on the way to work today 🙌
Shao seems high risk, high reward in MK11 and I think that is an interesting change compared to his Klassic appearances.
I’m so happy you gents are making content again ^.^
We need a MK VS DC breakdown to see how insane the game truly is.
[Competitive History of Shao Khan appears]
MK Annihilation Shao Khan: *AND IT! IS! GLORIOUS!*
I want MK12 Shao Kahn to be like a mixture of his MK VS DC version and MK9
Make him so broken but give him crazy combos too
Facts make him broken like in mk9
They pull a Fortnite and release him the day before a major sponsored tourney lol
So you want him to be banned on launch?
7:59 that's my favorite special move of all mortal kombat franchise
I think is very cool and unique
Jesus, where does that thumbnail art come from? It looks badass!!
This was a perfect thing to wake up to! I requested this guy months ago! Thanks a ton!
Shao was the reason I pre-ordered mk11. Also the reason I didn't play it long because how weak he was at launch 😔
It's a little late for me now on that game but maybe I'll pick it up again
I know that feeling! I was so, so hyped for 11 and had cemented my mains as Raiden and Shao Kahn. Both were absolutely terrible and still are. I got my platinum and haven't played again since. Well, except to go back for Aftermath to play the story.
I quit mk for that same reason and from now on they can sell their crappy games to the weirdos they pander to
Thanks for this early christmas gift ❤
Just got out of work, and saw this was posted a minute ago. What a time to be alive! - TucsonKaHN
Great video as always.
But could we get a Sonya Blade video? I just remember she was super fun in MK9.
I don't play MK and I'm not really into fighting games, but you get an instant like anyway for the amazing Fighters Destiny music.
In the same vein of boss characters, I would absolutely love to see goro in this series soon!
Wait he was in mk vs DC? 🧐
@@taskforcekillah9722 who shao kahn? Yh I never knew lol, pretty awesome
@@kieranmcccccc995 lol my bad I thought you meant goro was in mk vs DC I swore bro was I'm just misremembering 🤣 been years since I played it
Amazing video!
What a gnarly surprise before bedtime!! Tysm :)
Loving the fighters destiny soundtrack in the background! One of my favorite childhood games.
Shao Kahn was a beast in Mortal Kombat Trilogy, one of the few characters in that game that can quickly move from the far side of the screen to close range, all while racking damage along the path. He can relentlessly open with a few projectiles, then rapidly tackle or move into his notorious upward knee, then brutally finish you off close range with the emperors shield and a few nasty hammer blows.
Interestingly Kahn was also playable (two player only) in the MS-DOS / PC version of MK3 (the original even, non Ultimate and Trilogy), along with Motaro. You had to add the command-line option of 1000000 when launching, but do not include the dash like most command-line arguments i.e. "mk3 1000000". Their portraits appeared next to the starting characters once player two joined character selection.
Would love either a Sonya and/or Kano Competitive History soon. 😁
When you realize Mustard and Ketchup leave Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Scorpion and others out of Competitive History so they don't have to play MK vs DC.
Great vids. Has there been a Baraka vid yet?
This isn't my first time commenting this but I fucking love that you're using a bunch of Fighters Destiny OST in your videos recently. Maybe a vid on it? Or maybe just its awesome OST!
Sorry my comment had nothing to do with the video but the ost from fighter's destiny in your opening got a good nostalgia hit on me 😆
With how good both the mk series and the injustice series have been recently it honestly might be a good idea to give the mk vs dc universe game another game
It's risky. I'd rather have them perfect the mk formula with mk 12 first.
Definitely one of my favorite mains despite how things were at launch imma have to hop back on and get some matches soon
Thanks for the great drop on Saturday morning
Good to you adding MKvsDC to these videos, I know you're not a fan of it but I feel it's important as it's the middle ground between the 3d games and MK9.
Another great video! Hoping we see a Johnny Cage or Kung Lao video soon 🙏🏾
The music in these videos is on point!
I remember picking Shao Kahn day 1 of MK11. Though he was considered bad at the time, I still stayed around cause I found him fun.
Now for the next competitive history, it be nice to see some Shang Tsung!!
Shao Kahn is the best villain in MK. Don’t need complex villains to be good. Sometimes a good all powerful warlord is all you need. What I find funny is despite being eh in Armageddon he actually ends up winning according to the beginning of story mode of MK9.
MK9 shao was my favorite both in appereance and VA. I remember being super hyped when they announced him for MK11, and he was the first character I picked the very moment 11 came out.
New PNDK&M Upload? Today is a good day.
Whats the theme playing when classic shao khan is being talked about at the beginning?
Great work as always. Competitive history of Johnny cage would be awesome
Despite absolutely despising him lore-wise, his play style(besides barakaand shang) is my favorite. His combos/specials feel natural, and despite not being an especially skilled mk11 player, i felt i was improving my online matches with him.
i remember having the arcade controller where it was a big mortal kombat controller that you'd plug into A/V TVs
Once, and only once mk9 show Kahn up shouldered me for over 80% it made me stop playing the arcade for quite some time
The moment I saw this video on my feed, I was like "oh yeah, it's about time MK vs. DC showed up to the Competitive History series!" I really enjoyed playing as him in that game
Now the only main game left that has yet to debut in the Competitive History series is the first one, Mortal Kombat (1992)
I would personally love to see Shinnok next for CH. He's my favorite antagonist in the series and I enjoy playing as him in his few playable appearances
I remember getting to play as shao Kahn in the challenge tower for mk9? I know that probably doesn’t count as playable since it’s a very specific one off tower challenge
some insight from a former high level online warrior that mained shao kahn in mk11. the taunts are far from impractical as shao has rather s8imple setups that allow him to get them out absolutely safe. you did forget to mention, that his javelin toss has a special property if hit on high range, as it will result in an extended knockdown. this has 2 applications, 1. the extended knockdown allows him to close the distance, especially usefull as he is able to hit a oki 24d6 wich is the far version of his overhead hammer lunge wich is safe on block and has an inbuild mindgame where the amplified version will clip enemies that insist on taking their turn, and the second use is, that the extended knockdown of a far hitting javelin toss allows you to completely savely use any taunt. it is a bit of a risky move tho, as shao kahn kinda struggles in neutral with any character his main gameplan is centered around fishing for a hit that results in a knockdown and then he keeps üplaying the oki game. shao kahn can instead of going for his close knockdowns that allow him to set up his actual gameplan send his opponent fullscreen in order to either sneak in a cheeky taunt, or go for thehigh range javelin wich on hit allows for a completely safe taunt. i personally never use taunt tho, not because its impractical, but its less consistent. shao kahn is a setplay character at core and he wants to capitalise on every knockdown while he loses neutral against basically every character. yes the taunt is incredible if you get it off, especially since all of his taunts give him access to powerful krushing blows, but everytime you use it you trade the potential setplay for the taunt and in a best case szenario go back to neutral. i personally always prioritize staying on my opponent and keeping up the pressure, but i know some players see it differently and really like playing with the extra threat of the taunts.
tldr: taunts are actually practical but they are a risky tradeoff, and javelin toss has lomnger knockdown on high range
Before one of the patches in MK11 you'd be able to string together a great combo with his enhanced shoulder charge, sure it cost two bars and if you set it up you'd even get a KB but since the patch the combo drops. But still my 2nd main love Shao in MK11
In Mortal Kombat 11 Shao Kahns "Annihilation" move, I think that should have come with his standard moveset! AND I wish he had that Green Projectile, & Emperor Shield. I would have like to see more magic-based moves, rather than just different directions to throw his hammer...
There were some extra tidbits not mentioned during the Klassic section. The N64 version of Trilogy had a limitation on Kahn's hammer. It could only be used once every few seconds regardless if it hit or not compared to the AI who could use it repeatedly with no cool down. The PS1 version let Kahn use the hammer like the AI but removed its stun effect.
Another neat thing is in the N64 version if your playing as Reptile vs Kahn or fighting another human using Reptile while playing as Kahn then Reptile's Forceball is completely unusable. It wont ever come out. However if fighting an AI as Reptile they can still use it and if a Forceball hits Kahn the game will crash.
Idea for one of these, how about a special episode for characters that only ever got to be in like 1 or max 2 games?
I do enjoy these character focused evolution videos.
Just what I needed for my overnight shift, cheers mate!
For me, the big bad of MK has to M. Bison. You see, the day he graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for him, it was Tuesday. 😮
The Fighter's Destiny soundtrack is a nice touch to this video.
Wow. I never knew Shao Khan was _*that_ good in MK vs. DC! It was _all_ about The Flash and Superman.
The fact he boast extremely high damage and more health in mk11 is kinda appropriate seeing he's the og final boss
I absolutely loved shao Khan in MK11, you really felt his power, best version of the character since 3
Hes very much a mid range character
Mk vs DC combos look pretty sick
Mk 9 Shao boss was a monster
Competitive history Jax !!!!!!! Love the content btw
First soundtrack: Fighters Destiny. Nice 🫶🏻
fighters destiny bgm...nice touch!!
