If you swap the "e" in "Takeda" for an "o", you get "Takoda", which means "It's an octopus" in Japanese, the language where his name comes from. I don't know if the developers thought of that, but I think it's a cool little pun, and could be the name of his Animality.
I have no clue how max missed the fact that “embrace khaos” doesn’t effect one move, it effects every single shadow move. Throw, slide, air kick, everything.
@@Ferocethis is false. We can see multiple times that Noob uses more than one clone move before it expires. Even in the match he used slide and roundhouse kick and both launched during the same combo, so no it’s not expended after only one move
@@Darkmat17yea looks like people just weren’t paying enough attention. But yea looks like you can definitely get 2 to 3 meter less portals out. Then on top of that if you still have meter/kameo you can extend it even further after the timer runs out so I think it can really make for some nasty combos.
I think Max thought the Noob mechanic is only good for ONE move but it’s actually just on a timer and you can string together as many special moves and throw for the portal and keep the kombo going until timer runs out. Very similar to Spawn’s Fatal Blow buff move
Don’t know if you realized but noobs embrace chaos is on a timer not just one move. So it seems really good actually, I’m sure the top players can bust out a 50% with it pretty easily maybe even more.
Not to mention it’s a special move that makes every special move and even his throw a meterless launcher. Being in winning position or desperation with no meter and you can still land a massive combo. Just imagine using 3 bars on a breaker. Now you have no meter, pop embrace Khaos and you become just as dangerous as a character with full meter. Pretty sick mechanic
@@BuddyChy yeah I really wish everyone or at least way more characters had unique moves/mechanics like him and Johnny. This is slowly making its way up my favorite mortal Kombat list, if they add a tag mode and/or a mode without kameo it might just do it for me.
Takeda’s kunai changing to a low was actually a huge buff. Especially from the air because you can literally do overhead low mid up from your jump ins as well as other set ups
Yeah not a chance, based on what some garbage grinds and towers that are literally being taken out of mesa nothing more , not sure where people are getting the idea this expansion is doing much it’s not
I mean I thought it was going to be that, considering what the warrior shrine is in lore. But I reaaaaallly hoped it was another actual mode, cause the game definitely needed it.
25:34 What is that noise?! Bro I am glad that Max caught that weird noise and reacted to it. He didn't say anything but look at his eyes and face after that noise.
Brother, you probably wont see this but from all youtubers i enjoy your reactions and honest opinions. Thank you for everything and bringing smile on my face everytime you upload MK or tekken videos.
They have no gravity effects when he uses his embrace chaos buff so it is 100% worth it. You can do special moves into special moves constantly and keep them in a combo for like 84 hits 😂😂
Mk1 is not perfect just yet, but it is the best fighting game out right now, in my opinion. It's more fun than any of the other games for me, and I love those as well.
I love the detail of his shadow disappearing when he attacks because it's literally rising off the ground. Also just to be pedantic; if Rain isn't a ninja anymore I don't think you can still call Ermac one either.
Honestly I’m disappointed about the Warrior Shrine but it makes sense but I agree that it should have been removed, although I’m glad that Kameos will get new Buffs and Brutalities like Lao, Sonya, and Shujinko with new Moves, Shang, Geras, Omni Man, and Kung Lao have finally got New Moves and Buffs, we are finally going to get Currency for Playing in the Towers of Time, Titan Liu Kang’s Season adds this Strange Fusion to Liu and Geras if they Fused, I’m wondering if Guest Characters can have Invasion Skins?, the New Stages looks so Great with the Chaotic Makeup, and Takeda’s Animality is a Clever Homage to One of the Best Stage Finishers the Kove from MKX, While I don’t know if Noob can Bleed or Not which makes me wonder if he has become a Ghostly Wraith but I digress, other than Sektor, Noob Saibot looks as Badass as he’s Perfected, in a strange way he’s basically the Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader of Mortal Kombat with how much he has Fallen and became one of the Coolest and Scariest Antagonist in the Series, I love his Chaotic Makeover than it makes as much sense as he was a Neatherrealm Hellspawn and he looks like a Strange Fusion to Ermac and Geras in Terms of Powers and Design as Noob and Garas shares the Twisted Reconstruction Scars by Science and has the same Grey Skin as Ermac with a Darker Shade and the both look like they were Stitched Together by Unholy Necromancy, and that Dialogue with Havik makes me wonder if Bi-Han is still in there as he refuses to give Dairou any Ideas or is one of those things that Noob would want to keep some Secrets to Himself in the Darkest of his Tainted Soul, plus I love those Cat Bear Like Claws and love the Night Market as it has Vibes from Deadly Alliance, Deception, and MK9 with the Horror Look and Rock Music.
I admittedly was a bit disappointed by the Warrior Shrine. I waited a year just to be like, “oh cool so this is something that I will never be involved with even the slightest.”
All this stuff looks good! The towers are a step up considering you can try a character before your buy. Tekken 8 doesnt even let you lab against DLC. Let that sink in. Edit: Trial towers aren't new 🫠
I swear max doesnt pay attention sometimes. For Noob its not just one move its a timer, a very short timer for embrace choas. Which is all he needs honestly for his current moveset.
Is there anyone else who’s waiting for the “komplete edition” or whatever they’ll call it to release with all the DLCs for the price of the base game? Because I spent so much money on MK11 and Injustice 2 when in the end people bought the game for base price and got even more content than I had after two years
The size and attention for each animality is different. Some players will be offended, some will not. Take for example Rain 🌧️ - a fish) And then Takeda comes on stage with his octopus underwater. For me, this is too weird
I wish the chaos reigns bundle wasn't the price of a game, especially when my main in mk11 is starting to look like my main in mk1 too (I'm so sorry shao)
I don't like the fact that his hand buff is a once per match buff... meaning you actively punish yourself for wanting to use it in the first round because you will likely need it to close out the game if things get close.
@@eggyjames393 Apparently It took me some research to even figure out What omi man's animality was. He's the Hail Mary Kaiju from the show that he fought. I forgot that happened.

Thats so infuriating, omni man finally gets a buff in his f2 setting up a bounce but doesnt combo unkess your in the corner becuase its meant for ambush kameos. Very cool im glad shujinko is also useless here and they cant buff characters properly with kameos in mind
I hope the rest of the cast get a new buff or something cool to make them feel more fun. The new Havik buff with the neck snap looks interesting, like is it worth the heavy meter usage and what buffs does it give him?
it looks like havik can use enhanced moves without meter after the neck snap buff thing cause he does an enhanced arm rip without any meter right after
As much as i want to play MK 1 so i can actually try all this stuff out (animalaility is a classic), due to File Size I'm stuck with MK 11 and X right now

That's not what he meant. You have to choose one move and it's buffed one time only. Hence, it only affects one move.
