I don't think they died tho, it looks like a lot of those characters who fell in that weird rift/gap returned to the pyramid... or I'm just getting crazy.
When Jhonny says it really changed the arcs of our lives. The smile of Liu Kang really tells he waited eons for this to happen and to be as successful as it was really makes him happy.
In my ending, I had a character called “Johnny Savage” and it was a fusion of Johnny Cage and Baraka (Baraka with Johnny’s hair and sunglasses) and I nearly died of laughter
I ended up getting a fusion of Liu Kang and Kano named Red Dragon. My sides went straight into orbit because of Matthew Yang King doing an Australian impression
Can't believe Ed Boon hired entire Sonic fandom, gave them full access to MK roster, and told them to create as many recolor "Original Character donut steel" to then use them as fillers for all alternarive timelines good and evil versions of all of the characters. What a legend!
She's also the old lady Stage Interactable from the Outworld Marketplace in Mortal Kombat X. Have you seen the Brutality where throwing her at a near-dead opponent has the old lady punch the opponent's face in until their head explodes?
Definitely nice that they got some redemption in their characters. I would add Mileena to that too. I mean - her and Kitana are actually great sisters now!
23:37 Titan Havik is the original timeline’s Havik. The new timeline Havik isn’t actually Havik, due to Chaosrealm apparently not existing. In fact the New Era Havik is actually another MK character as revealed is one if his pre fight interactions with Reptile.
@@JoseBronxRican its quite hilarious that its story mode shang from the new era getting a magnanimous praise. So in liu Kang's Case he's Saturday morning villain tolerable instead of heroically praised xD.
The campaign story for MK1 was much better than MK11, and I’m saying this as someone who enjoyed MK11. This was so much fun and the fact that my boy Havik is being teased as the next big bad is like they made this game just for me. lol I dig it.
I think it's the best one since MK9 as well (like Max said, I do agree with him). I actually preferred MK11's story over MKX's, but yeah I think MK1's is the best since MK9. So for me it's: MK9 > MK1 > MK11 > MKX
I like how the story expanded from the tournament to the secrets to the big plan to ARMAGEDDON. And also gave alotta the jobbers time to shine. The fact that Baraka and Reptile got story chapters is very telling. Granted it meant we got new jobbers instead, hi Rain & Reiko, but it was still a fun change o pace.
I think MK11's story was okay, I enjoyed it but wasn't great. I certainly don't hate it. Aftermath, on the other hand, I think that was spectacular. Cary Tagawa absolutely made that, and Max and them talk about the humor in MK1, he brought that to Aftermath. Like when they're trying to convince Sheeva to help them, Shang Tsung's dialogue with Nightwolf about replacing Kitana with an evil clone. Also his masterful gaslighting of Sheeva. And all the way through the ending any time he was on camera he stole the scene. MK1 is overall better than the entire MK11 package though. Honestly, my only complaint with MK1's storyline is Shang Tsung's VA sounds like they bought Cary Tagawa at the dollar store, I think he would have been better off doing his own thing for Shang Tsung like the MKvDC and MK9 VAs.
I really appreciate the love netherrealm has been giving Liu Kang. Because in past games i felt that he was always somewhat of an after thought but now mk11 and mk1 we're finally seeing the character have more recognition.
The end was so sick. And theres great replay value kuz the kharacters you fight change each time. Ive done it 20 times and still saw kharacters in Max's run that I'd never seen. Also, all arcade endings are post Story mode AND are all kanon
Ed Boon at this point is like "They dont let me do something new with Mortal Kombat, then im gonna speedrun all the games again until they do" (he's doing this since MK9)
This is definitely NRS' best MK story. The best chapter was probably Raiden's with the added worldbuilding elements and the simple scenes of characters talking, with them being really interesting to watch.
I really liked the Raiden segment as well. It was the most straight forward,being the "tournament arc" but showed so many different interactions, even if there was only one major story beat, him winning.
What's interesting about the ending is that you can tell that some of the characters you can choose are from Lui Kang's timeline, while others, like Shao and Sub-Zero and Lui Kang, are from different timelines due to their outfit change.
They’re definitely doing a story expansion. All of the Arcade endings are canon and combined with the intros being in continuity, link into a few overarching plots ( Onaga being freed, SF elements getting involved in the form of the OIA, Havik destroying Seido, etc.)
@@therrogue1193 Harumi, Raiden's sister, young Shujinko, the kombat kids and young Hanzo Hasashi would be cool as some of the pre-kombat dialogue mentions her, especially Raiden and Kung Lao's ones where Raiden asks Kung if he wrote back to Raiden's siser.
I picked Smoke for this chapter and the last character I fought was Cyber-Smoke so I thought these were partially scripted fights. Turns out I just got lucky. Would have liked it if everyone had a specific final character to fight that fit their arc in a way.
@andimari9194 I mean, instead of Havik being a chaosrealm priest dead set on merging/destroying orderrealm he's now a revolutionary who wants to "free his people" in Orderrealm from oppression. Basically story wise they gave him a less generic goal by making him more generic
Just in case you didn't notice, on the final final battle there, that injury you took in the cutscene actually did something, it reduced your HP by 30%.
I'm sad yall didn't see my favorite and most cursed one, Red Dragon. A mix of Liu Kang and Kano. Hearing a chinese man do an australian accent was the most cursed thing i ever saw
I love how they found the perfect way to let you play as your main at the climax, I don't think any other MK games after this will be able to top this one.
This is the best ending in MK history. It's epic, it's wacky, it's funny, it didn't take itself too seriously, and honestly feels like a love letter to the fans. 10/10.
Imagine being overly negative and shitting on someone's wholesome opinion, while acting like your own opinion is fact (even though it's literally not). Man, I'd hate to be a scumbag like that.
This has to be the coolest finale in the series so far All the randomized fighters, plus you get to pick your own character for it all I just couldn’t stop smiling the entire way through
Shang Tsung evolution: Previous timelines: "Your soul is mine" Titan: "My intent is to exterminate all life in this timeline & merge it into my own" (Your timeline is mine) MK1 Shang Tsung: "His soul is ours" Titan in Armageddon: "All timelines will be mine"
The best chapter in the entirety of NRS games. Because YOU make your ending. You pick the final character to save the day, and the game will throw absolute nonsense in your direction. You are not prepared for just what comes through the portal of Shang Tsung's assembled army. It could be anything. It could even be an enemy of the past. The sheer amount of RANDOM (and I do mean random) encounters in this chapter makes it so that Destination has officially performed a Fatality on Journey. No matter what happened before, this chapter makes everything worth it.
Goddamnit, Steve! He was about to pick Smoke! I'm so upset, lol Absolutely insane final chapter, though. Really made up for a lot of typical NRS weirdness that always pops up in these story modes, particularly in the last chapter where they're just standing around talking instead of running over and kicking Shang in the nuts.
I don't think only the Aftermath Ending is canon, All MK11 endings are Canon, And the post credits scene seems to imply that it's not just MK11 fighters who are Time Lords
Man I want Titan Jax to show up and explain the process of making his utopia where he removed human slavery from history. Such a goofy ass arcade ending in 11
@@darkpuppetlordful you know whats confusing? Jacqui erased herself from the timeline by preventing her dad from meeting her mom yet jax can erase a pivotal point in human history yet his family still existed in his era
I don’t know if you guys know this but it was confirmed in the game that the Havik that we saw in the story mode is actually Dairou in one of the vs screens before the match starts it’s revealed that this timeline’s Havik’s real name is Dairou and it makes sense as to why he’s also from the Orderrealm and why he’s a friend of Darrius.
This might be the best ending in all of MK! Not only is it a a genuinely happy ending for once, it’s also a way to do a multiverse in a natural and exciting way. It makes every character ending in MK11 canon! I would love them react to see all the character endings in chronological order because they are also canon and fill in the gaps in the story mode, like what really happened to Jerrod, and it sets up either the sequel or future DLC.
When I actually played it, I thought Johnny and Cassie just fell into the chasm for no reason. I didn’t notice Goro pull them in. Now that’s my favorite reference in all of this. It’s like when Jax was like, “This isn’t a Brutality, this is a Fatality!”, and he killed what’s his name.
Kitana killing the Kombat Kids is much more funnier if you pick Johnny or Kenshi as your final warrior because they just don’t care at all that their kid died.
I love how much fun these guys had with the mashup characters. I felt the same way when I played through. I was laughing and was like, "Geras and Reptile - WTF?" I know there are those out there that have complained about the end of the game and that the last quarter or so was a bit sloppy, but I don't care. It was a great story and a fun ride. I can't wait to see where they go with this. Who knows - maybe we will have create-a-characters for the next one and this was just the test to see how it works and how well it was recieved.....
Here's a thought: instead of just DC vs MK, we specifically get Injustice vs MK. (Imagine the plot twist that MK11's Joker is actually the Titan of Time for the Injusticeverse)
I honestly believe that all the mix-matched characters may possibly elude to the fact that we just might get a Kreate-A-Fighter feature added to MK1 in the near future, and that the empty roster space at the bottom right-hand corner of the fighter select screen will be designated for our personalized KAF character…🤔
Max should do a "Rate The" on all the random characters you encounter in the Armageddon chapter. Max and Steve have the worst timing! 😆 Technically, Midway made MK vs DC. NRS did MK 9, but Wool makes a good point. Now I gotta see if Matt McMuscles has a MK 1 story video up on RUclips. 😄
Looks like they randomize the character combos you face in this final chapter. When I played this section I went against a Baraka wearing a suit and sunglasses named Johnny Savage, it was fuckin great.
The fighters you go up against are randomized because during my playthrough I had a completely different set of people I fought with Kenshi. The highlight was when I fought a Liu Kang + Kano and Liu Kang called me a Drogo in a forced australian accent.
33:23 i dont think the pyramid stage for this fight was in titan shangs timeline cuz if it really was imploding because of defeating shang tsung, why was it just fine in the credits when lord havik showed up? I think we may have been fighting in Lord Haviks timeline.
As much as i dont like the third of the game, Liu Kang and the bois chilling at the tea shop with a relatively happy ending is nice. Especially that smile he gives after Johnny thanks him. He worked so hard to make a peaceful universe for them and it worked.
MKX wasn't really a retelling of MK4 in the new MK9 timeline. Johnny Cage's intro chapter is basically retelling the very end of MK4. And the flashback sections of Sonya's chapter are retelling the end of Deadly Alliance(in this timeline where Shang Tsung was already dead). But the vast majority of MKX's story takes place WELL past the point where Armageddon would have taken place in the timeline. It's essentially a completely new story other than those two chapters. MKX also doesn't make for a very good retelling of MK4 because it doesn't bring back all of MK4's characters, the way MK9 brought back all of 1, 2 and 3's characters.
Anyone catch that the music when you first encounter Shang Tsung and Quan-Chi at the top of the pyramid (12:23) kinda sounds like the music at the end of the OG MK movie when Liu Kang is talking with Shang Tsung appearing as Chan? Neat little touch!

Fighting randomized and mixed together characters as a nod to the the original Armageddon's "kreate a character" was such a fun refrence.
I am pretty sure thats what happened in Armageddon the first time around xD.
Now they just need to add a “Kreate-A-Titan mode that lets you create your very own Titan character

When Jhonny says it really changed the arcs of our lives.
The smile of Liu Kang really tells he waited eons for this to happen and to be as successful as it was really makes him happy.
And for the last time since he got his powers back, he's going to be the keeper of time once again so he can't hang out no more.

One fun thing to note is that all of the jobber fights until Shang Tsung have 700 HP but when you fight Shang Tsung YOU are the jobber with 700 HP.
Titan Shang is no joke. Especially on very hard difficulty and NO Kameo to defend yourself.
In my ending, I had a character called “Johnny Savage” and it was a fusion of Johnny Cage and Baraka (Baraka with Johnny’s hair and sunglasses) and I nearly died of laughter

I don't think they are randomized, I had Scorpion in this scenes and I had the exact same enemies.

I think we all know why LiuKang left early 😂. He does NOT want to pay the bill
He even said he like food too !,
This stinky god only here for free food and run ! LoL
7:47 " SPEAR! OH WHAT A SPEAR! AS GOD AS MY WITNESS SHE IS BROKEN IN HALF!"
Kitana killing the Kombat Kids is much more funnier if you pick Johnny or Kenshi as your final warrior because they just don’t care at all that their kid died.
They don’t know remember that’s the old ones
In the playthrough I watched on Twitch, they chose Geras as the final fighter, so seeing Liu Kang's side is SO interesting!
I love this Mugen-ass final chapter so much. I hope we see more of these alternate characters in another mode.
I've been patiently waiting to see the reaction to this finale, they went crazy with this 🤣 I love that this game was a crazy alternate 3D era
The alternate universe where Shao is a really great stepdad and second husband.
Lord Havik is actually The Cleric of Chaos from Og timeline, not the Dairou-Havik in MK1.
I love how much fun these guys had with the mashup characters. I felt the same way when I played through. I was laughing and was like, "Geras and Reptile - WTF?" I know there are those out there that have complained about the end of the game and that the last quarter or so was a bit sloppy, but I don't care. It was a great story and a fun ride. I can't wait to see where they go with this. Who knows - maybe we will have create-a-characters for the next one and this was just the test to see how it works and how well it was recieved.....
When the choose your fighter shows I went ballistic it was that awesome. This was such a fun story mode at the end of the day.
I had so much fun seeing how much fun you guys were having! I knew this part would be wild, haha!
The Quan Chi and Liu Kang fusion should have been called Quan Kang
I find it hilarious that the character you choose is silent the whole time and that Lui Kang is like buzz off this is my job to finish
Liu Killsteal
Here's a thought: instead of just DC vs MK, we specifically get Injustice vs MK.
(Imagine the plot twist that MK11's Joker is actually the Titan of Time for the Injusticeverse)
I honestly believe that all the mix-matched characters may possibly elude to the fact that we just might get a Kreate-A-Fighter feature added to MK1 in the near future, and that the empty roster space at the bottom right-hand corner of the fighter select screen will be designated for our personalized KAF character…🤔
I’m so happy Havik getting the recognition since the MKX comics. One of my fav character.
Aw I REALLY wanted them to get John Kahner
He was the first one I fought and all I could think about was "Man I hope the doods fight him too"
Is it just me or liu kang complimenting himself remind like Obama meme of gifting medal himself 😂
Mortal Kombat vs. Injustice could actually be crazy if you add absolutely every single character from both series.
All that was missing was Brainiacs ship appearing in the sky above them
If the DLC characters are usable in this chapter its gonna be really weird seeing Liu Kang thank Homelander or Peacemaker for saving the universe.
"You don't understand earthrealm isn't yours to conquer"
@@NeocrimsonX"Whatever Jackie Chan, just make sure everyone knows it's Homelander they can thank for their worthless lives."
@@CGB_Crash lame lets be real heal a titen wodo smock homeladner wit hout trying
NRS has commitment issues so bad that they can't stay with one universe for a single game anymore.
Max should do a "Rate The" on all the random characters you encounter in the Armageddon chapter.
Max and Steve have the worst timing! 😆
Technically, Midway made MK vs DC. NRS did MK 9, but Wool makes a good point.
Now I gotta see if Matt McMuscles has a MK 1 story video up on RUclips. 😄
I have always been of the opinion that MK is at it's best when it goes full crazy and embraces the ludicrous.
Easily the best MK story to date and best versions of a lot of classic characters. Game took me by surprise.
Missed opportunity to put in a final Test Your Might by having the ability to break free from Shang Tsung breaking your neck as Fire God Liu Kang
Liu Kang was a freaking monster in this game
Looks like they randomize the character combos you face in this final chapter. When I played this section I went against a Baraka wearing a suit and sunglasses named Johnny Savage, it was fuckin great.
The fighters you go up against are randomized because during my playthrough I had a completely different set of people I fought with Kenshi. The highlight was when I fought a Liu Kang + Kano and Liu Kang called me a Drogo in a forced australian accent.
33:23 i dont think the pyramid stage for this fight was in titan shangs timeline cuz if it really was imploding because of defeating shang tsung, why was it just fine in the credits when lord havik showed up? I think we may have been fighting in Lord Haviks timeline.
it is has timeline shang said it was
"And they called me the Chosen One" is extra funny when it's just another freaking Liu Kang he's complimenting.
It’ll be amazing to see how NRS tops this ending.
I hope this is a hint that they might bring kreate a Fighter back from Armageddon with all these combined and fusion versions of the characters.
This is pure batshit fan service insanity and my god I couldn’t love it more. ❤
I'm sad they didn't get to face John Khanner, the amalgamation of Shao Khan and Johnny Cage. I feel like Max would've had a good laugh at that.
Cages to Goro: “THAT WAS FOR THE $500 SUNGLASSES!!!”
Max's theory makes sense. The way to explain MK VS DC is alternate universes.
As much as i dont like the third of the game, Liu Kang and the bois chilling at the tea shop with a relatively happy ending is nice.
Especially that smile he gives after Johnny thanks him. He worked so hard to make a peaceful universe for them and it worked.
What an insane ending. I loved that, I can't believe I saw people saying the ending was bad. It was goofy in the best way.
MKX wasn't really a retelling of MK4 in the new MK9 timeline. Johnny Cage's intro chapter is basically retelling the very end of MK4. And the flashback sections of Sonya's chapter are retelling the end of Deadly Alliance(in this timeline where Shang Tsung was already dead). But the vast majority of MKX's story takes place WELL past the point where Armageddon would have taken place in the timeline. It's essentially a completely new story other than those two chapters.
MKX also doesn't make for a very good retelling of MK4 because it doesn't bring back all of MK4's characters, the way MK9 brought back all of 1, 2 and 3's characters.
The end was hype AF and fun AF and I’m super excited for a story expansion
now that you've seen the ending, can we get a "lui kang congratulates random characters" rate the meme?
Anyone catch that the music when you first encounter Shang Tsung and Quan-Chi at the top of the pyramid (12:23) kinda sounds like the music at the end of the OG MK movie when Liu Kang is talking with Shang Tsung appearing as Chan? Neat little touch!
