I can’t condone this illicit and sordid affair. Condolences to your husband, but I do applaud your taste in content. Husband-“how come you never wanna watch me play mk1 anymore?” 😂
This is the husband, and If he isn't watching MK1 or playing it, he's asleep. I ain't worried where he is while im at work. He knows my money bought that MK1 xD@@chasedwards9626
Your videos have been keeping me sane while going through a rough patch. Legit looking forward to them everyday. I was unemployed for the last 3 months but finally starting back Monday. I will still be watching though!
That Scorpion fight reminded me of one of my biggest gripes with MK1 and that's that there's no way to block players or report players if you seriously suspect them of lag switching. Just no way to do that as far as I know
Cry less...? people have crap internet, which can't be helped all the time and you can't even fully prove most of your claims, to be objectively cheating or otherwise
I played a Baraka a few days ago and the same thing happened but WAY more frequently. Every time I got a hit or we were at neutral, it would lag spike and stop once he landed a hit. He was 41-0. Pretty obvious how the set was going to go so I just quit
@almightyarsenal3366 I think I could get to Elder God, it's more so about how many matches it takes to get there. It's a commitment, and I don't play Baraka much so idc. I only wanted the Shao skin too
Smart person….been trying to get to Elder God before the new season ends. And it just isn’t happening. Furthest I get is the halfway mark and then I start seeing a bunch of sweat lords that put me back on the low end of God rank with bad losing streaks. Should have quit rank after I got that Shao outfit as well.
@@Its_PizzaTimeexactly. I'm at god now. The matches gets more interesting as the ranks go up. Its def more skilled players on god right now. I been having great fights ,win or lose. I don't care about losing. I just want a fire back and forth.
I gotta ask why do you go for Haviks launching air combo and not his ground bouncing one? Since I got Reptile fully leveled I was thinking of trying a new character and Havik looks great.
Max I have always wondered how it is to be like extremely good at fighting games specifically. I mean Of course you can play online with a lot of people in more or less your level. But my question is, like when a friend comes over to your house or wants to play for fun, isn't it like frustrating? Like in my mind there are three options. 1)you play like you normally would and you annihilate them. Which I imagine would be pretty frustrating for them. 2)you play at your worst possible, and you let them casually win, do not think that would be frustrating for you, but I don't think that it would be fun either. And the third option that I think would be the best would be like play at your mid, and make the fight more close. But I have never been so good at fighting games, so I don't know. I would like to hear your opinion.
Yea Max knows, I mean Idk if he forgets about it every now and then or just chooses to not do it to save meter(Idk what exactly it costs?), but I have seen him use it before in previous videos.........and in this one? I feel like he used it at least once in this video but I may be remembering wrong, definitely in the MK1 video before this one tho.
Yesterday I wanted to hit Demi-God. Was 100 away. I got to 9 points away... then game desync and I lost a set I was clearly winning. Points went down. Went back up, another rank up chance... disconnected in R3 of game 5 in a close game. Lost points again. Beat 2 JC in a row, got within a game of winning... app crashed before the game even started, went back down. It's actually rare that this happened to me, but it happened 3 times in a row as I was about to rank up. Then I lost a close set to a Smoke that was lagging SO bad, and trying to guess all the random teleports when you skip all the frames and you can't complete a combo because it keeps breaking is so annoying, when all he has to do is yolo and hope you can't see it. Fix your servers/game NRS, that was so annoying. Will try to hit it again tonight...
happened to me yesterday, too. 3 games in a row disconnected and threw me out. never happened before. server issues maybe? wonder if the other guy also lost points.
Since patch desync has never happened me. Before patch any desync counted as a win for me everytime. Maybe if it counts as your loss it was your connections fault?
Motaro has a unique Fatal Blow starter, no other Kameo has that. Pretty much a faster start-up, good for comboing into where your fighter's fatal blow starter might not work due to the gravity.
@@iandragooo Looks like you lose some damage though, I was surprised that it didn't hit for 40%. He honestly didn't even need to do that, Raiden's starter definitely would've hit on that
Goddamn the netcode is either braking or that scorpion is lag switching. I been noticing as I play some people will just become a PowerPoint presentation if im cooking them but as soon as i fuck up and they start getting me it goes back to normal. Am I losing my goddamn mind or is this a thing!?
I played someone last night where the screen continued to freeze, and at one point I heard fatality music while it was frozen, though, when match reconnected, we were both around 50%. There's some hacky shite happening
It’s surprising to see Motaro can’t deflect the projectile that comes out of Havik’s head even tho somebody like Sindel’s low fireball can be deflected
I don't understand why Max does the reset with havik breaking his neck to make the other character do it goes in for the combo Kohl's in Cyrax and then instead of doing an air string that leads to ground bounce so he can get a bit more damage he just ends it by doing the move where he kicks them away. Literally everyone else I've seen play havoc it just goes for more damage instead of just doing the hard knockdown
The Scorpion player was LS clearly from the start. Most of my matches are like this in this game. Feels like 40% increase at least from SF6 which is par for the course for NRS games.
I only played until level 6 of KL to unlock Shao's skin, and in my final match the dude played only one match and instead of choosing remach, he just gave up and went to main menu lmao
Idk why but i still feel like raiden is too powerful. So many of his attacks cant be punished by characters like havik geras and shao Also im pretty sure that scorpion had a lag pedal
I've been going back and forth from Demigod to Grand Master with Reiko. As soon as I enter Demigod, I get hit with Johnny Cages, Raidens, and Barakas which brings me back down. Starting to not be fun to play. Although I did play a Rain last night for the first time, and it was a lot of fun. Guess I gotta slog through. Lol
I had that for 2 days after I got to Demi-God. But now I am sitting at half way to God I play Kitana with sub if I lose to a Johnny with no projectile cameo I switch to scorpion kameo
Just got to Master last night after not playing for the last 10-12 days (binged Spider-Man 2) It was crazy hard to make that last push. Wanted Shao skin but fk it, it's too stressful rn. Has anyone else been running into the problem where your assist doesn't come out when you call it? There have been times when I had a full bar and end up dropping my combo because of it. Online in general feels like it got worse since since the patch.
@willthelemon5681 Idk. Sub just feels so natural for me. Ive been a sub main since OG MK lol. It got hard once I reached Demi though. Cant wait til he gets some buffs!
This is my first mortal Kamba at honestly I never felt so helpless against mashers. Seems like I’m not able to punish anything that looks punishable. No other game have I needed to learn the frames just to punish simple combos on block.
Why is that raiden player using that assist he literally has a teleport in his base kit. The reflection part of the cameo makes no sense either as he could have used sub zero to negate zoning and get better combo ability.
The motaro pick is actually interesting. Kameo teleports can interrupt animations and recovery. You see him use it to avoid being punished a few times. Then he could combo from his throw with it as well. Motaro has a low projectile that creates a small mixup. Sub would give more combos but Raiden doesn't really need help with combos like that so going for a utility kameo isn't a bad idea.
@@Jking44th I see what you are saying but there’s far better picks I think, though his combos are half decent without cameo picking the right cameo you still can get those 45 percent combos which he can’t do alone. The utility seemed way off, he has better pairings I think. Just my opinion.
Getting to elder god is such a fing slog and they locked the best skin behind it. Skins shouldnt be lovked brhind fhe KL rankings. Only thing should br locked thete is banners/titles
Did anyone notice at 5:25 Havik's projectile goes perfectly under Motaro's shield? INSANE.
I was about to say the same thing. He’s clearly the agent of chaos for that weird shenanigan.
It almost looks like it goes through it, just clipping the bottom a tiny bit. Man no wonder people say Motaro's low tier. Sad
It happens again at 6:44 Boy does that Kameo suck.
The Kameo is not doing it's job lol
@@rozemorgaine1886 I think it's a weird technicality because it flies under the reflector shield but damn it sucks when it doesn't work.
so glad to see everyone playing Havik recently, definitely my favorite 3D era character return who’s a blast to play in this game, heavy hitting and satisfying as hell
And annoying when they decide to zone the fuck outta you, but i suspect thats because of there being 3-4 days left
everyone knows havik is cheap and lame, lmao jk hell yeah he's badass. Lots of good characters this game I'm loving in 200 hours in holy!
@@alaniasdruid8616 yeah still love the game the only thing that makes me wanna rip it in half are zoners, I suck at beating them, like no matter what game lmao
@@dice9270 lmao fuck man my main is Lui Kang, I apologize on behalf of all us assholes.
@@dice9270 I use Sektor with Lui even though everone says if I don't use Kung Lou I'm dumb but I whoop ass with Lui and Sektor
23:38 checkout when Havik pops out his head, the head stops at Scorpion's health bar after disappearing 🤣
Grats on demi-god. Enjoy the insane influx of mileenas, barakas and johnny cage mains!
Its so fun playing in this rank….
God is so so much worse. And Elder God is pros and just the weirdest duos. I fought a Darrius and Shao Elder God earlier in kasuals, insane stuff
@@PewPewShootEmUpIt’s because he has 100% resets with Darrius. They’re a really good duo.
@@d30n6as a Shao main, you can't just say that and not drop the sauce. What's the combo?

what record did you need
@@twxvybeatz5796you roughly need around 60 or so games with a positive winrate
Poor Max has no idea what awaits him in Elder God... MORE JOHNNIES
Max: I have to block forever?
Me: yes, welcome to defense in MK1
So I have missed a lot of streams recently, so a legit question. Is Havik the new main for Max now for this game? Or is Smoke still his main?
I gotta ask why do you go for Haviks launching air combo and not his ground bouncing one? Since I got Reptile fully leveled I was thinking of trying a new character and Havik looks great.
Ground bouncing air combo after cyrax does less damage, and is inconsistent. 2-4 in the air does more damage and is a lot more consistent.
2:47 I don't play MK but I want to know... is that chip damage normal?
In this new era of MK, Raiden is the new Sol Badguy
"Lord Liu Kang says I should press every button on the controller."
- Raiden
Can someone please explain why the lack of fatal blow usage
Max I have always wondered how it is to be like extremely good at fighting games specifically. I mean Of course you can play online with a lot of people in more or less your level. But my question is, like when a friend comes over to your house or wants to play for fun, isn't it like frustrating?

What happened at 3:20 Havik had to snap his neck twice? That move is unblockable so why didn't it work the first time?
cyrax tip i saw yesterday, if u do his forward grab and press RT when he hit the opponent, he pops up for a combo
Yea Max knows, I mean Idk if he forgets about it every now and then or just chooses to not do it to save meter(Idk what exactly it costs?), but I have seen him use it before in previous videos.........and in this one?

Did anyone see that at 10:33 he used Motaro to start the fatal blow?! How does that work? Normally Raiden summons two lightning strikes.
You press the kameo button during the fatal blow start up

Do these combos even work anymore, I can't seem to get them to connect.
I can finally see someone playing cyrax and be ok with it
WELCOME TO DEMI GOD!
Max's Havik its so fun to watch
The Raiden player was playing old skool OG MK/MK2/MK3 style
Why did motaro engage the fatal blow at 10 for raiden instead of the typical combo?
23:17 naaa that should be a D/Q
Havik is soooo fun to watch! Max you should look up Mister Strange. Dude is a beast with Havik.
I watch that dude too, definitely one of the best haviks
this is driving me crazy what does the S stand for next to win loss record above health?
I think it's streak
Yeah, it’s streak
I played someone last night where the screen continued to freeze, and at one point I heard fatality music while it was frozen, though, when match reconnected, we were both around 50%. There's some hacky shite happening
It’s surprising to see Motaro can’t deflect the projectile that comes out of Havik’s head even tho somebody like Sindel’s low fireball can be deflected
You should really consider making a playlist for all your mk 1 stuff. Make it a lot easier for us to watch them...
Has Max compared this to MKX at all yet? He seems to like this game.
He probably still prefers MKX but he's been praising this game's gameplay non stop.
So different characters have different amounts of health?
Why only 1080p
Hey Max with Raiden def block the whole electrical field and punish with a dash+throw/throw. It depends on your distance but def time for a throw.
im sitting right on the cusp of demigod, but that top end is a grind and i simply dont have the time to get the matches in before the season ends!
1:20 wtf? Why did that wake up do so much damage???
Havik's armored wakeup loses the combo if he gets hit but does a lot of damage in exchange.
I don't understand why Max does the reset with havik breaking his neck to make the other character do it goes in for the combo Kohl's in Cyrax and then instead of doing an air string that leads to ground bounce so he can get a bit more damage he just ends it by doing the move where he kicks them away.
