Noob's alt in MK9 is basically Bi-Han's Sub-Zero look but black, and it looks awkward because there's no longer that blue and black-contrast between the headpiece and mask.
Yeah Noob`s default MK9 costume is still the best tbh. Perfect combination between the "executioner" and "classic ninja" aesthetic. Also, shoutout to vanilla MK3, where they straight up just turned him into Kano for whatever reason.
I loved how MK11 made a little more distinction between Noob and his shadow. Making Noob a little more purple and inky while the shadow was just black. And of course sheathing his sickle by just stabbing it through his body with a portal.
Kinda mixed on Noob now. At the beginning he was just kinda there with a silly yet cute name if you get the joke. Once Deception came out and add the retcon revelation with OG Sub-Zero Bi Han, that made him infinitely more interesting and recolored the character’s entire history. Now though it seems like Bi Han becoming Noob is almost like a destiny of sorts and always ensuring that Bi Han will be an evil bastard from the get go.
I'm still mad that they didn't make Hanzo into Noob in the new timeline. Kuai Liang took Scorpion so Hanzo needs something new. It was right there for him.
Yeah, he got the very first version from MK2, but missed the Kano sprite where he'd do the both arms flexing victory pose! Then again, it's still just a black silhouette
The only rule for Noob is that his palette should be all black to Black/Dark Grey. Anything other than that, and the appeal is lost in terms of matching with Saibot.
Noob's visual design history is like... "here's MK9 Noob, omg this is the coolest ninja character in all of Mortal Kombat!" Aaand we're done, there is nothing else to really consider going forwards or backwards. I mean I guess in MK11 he gets some Lord of the Rings Ringwraith looking stuff, and that's fine, but it's not really Noob, it's just variations of Ringwraiths.
History of Noob, Turing a copy/joke character into someone that’s actually a big part of the lore. He’s always been a favourite of mine and I’m already a big fan of the MK ninja characters. 🖤
Personally I wish noob had a more traditional ninja look. There’s so much potential with ninja attire or innovating his designs to not be so flat. Mk9 is so good because of that.
Love mk9 in look and character and voice. He looks like the villain in Batman Mask of the Phantasm and I feel like that was on purpose because he quotes the character in an mk11 intro.
Fun fact when noob saibot appeared in MK2 he played like his brother Kuai and in the UMK3 they had to use Kano’s fighting style before trilogy effectively gave him his own fighting palette. My favorite skin for noob is MK9 Saibot.
I’m really glad we’re getting more Visual History this is a great series I wanna see Max run through with so many different characters and series I’m super excited for more!
MK9 Noob's outfit is the absolute best, and I totally much agree on that one. It's basically the only unique look that that give to him, and an identity as well.
A neat thing about the MK9 classic costume is that if you used the alternate color for it, saibot would be colored like Smoke instead of looking like he usually does, very much black.
Noob was perfect in MK11. I loved both his base designs from MK9 and MK11 but MK11's customization allowed you to make a mix of the two. The Dark Automaton skins for Noob were the best. My MK11 Noob was a mix between his MK classic Ninja look from MK9 and his grim reaper/wraith look from MK11. I'm severly disappointed in how he appears in MK1.
The designs that you like are a lot like the Phatasm, a batman villain with their own animated movie (since it's part of the Batman the Animated Series). it's got the hood, mask, and sickle/claw that makes them look like a grim reaper (they're an assassin).
It's crazy how Noob Saibot wasn't a playable character but we liked him as much to where they actually made him playable for us, and my opinion I liked his MK11 design the best 👍
They clearly gave him the hat to push the mk canon that ninja are Chinese in the universe. But yeah, it looks bad. As stereotypical as they are ninja mask/hood are always the best
One of the greatest ninjas after sub zero ermac rain and smoke. Love all the ninjas but noob saibot always something special. Even his dark voice gives nightmares of the devil.
That's nearly all of them... The only ones left are Scorpion & Reptile, unless you want to count Tremor. So you're basically saying you rank Noob from the bottom.
Saw this live, was hilarious especially when he looked up MK Conquest Noob-Saibot. LOL🤣 If you saw his twitch stream then you know haha. Noob's MK9 default to me is easily on par with Ermac's MK9 Alternate. I wouldn't say Noob was a joke character so much as a nod to Boon and Tobias not taken too seriously til they gave him lore. Now a real Joke character, Mokap and Bo Rai Cho lol....pure freaking joke characters like Dan Hibiki from SF series, just silly haha.
I really hate that when it comes to approaching MK11 Max talks like it's the worst thing ever. It's actually a really freaking good game. Sick character designs, best single player content of any MK, sick character customization and so much more.
Calling MK2 Noob lazy is whack to me. He's not lazy, he's just a bonus fight. He's extra content, classic MK stuff. The shadow concept is cool. They did what they could with what they had. MK9 Noob is peak for me. Easily his best look. I think he looks cool in MK11, but I'm not a fan of the heavy armor for MK ninjas. MK9 Noob is still sleek and stealthy. MK11 Noob looks too bulky and cumbersome, like he belongs in Dark Souls instead of MK. My ratings: MKD 9/10 MK9 10/10 MK11 8/10 MK1 7/10
Noob's alt in MK9 is basically Bi-Han's Sub-Zero look but black, and it looks awkward because there's no longer that blue and black-contrast between the headpiece and mask.
No, it doesn't look awkward at all.
It’s pretty incredible they turned a joke ninja into a lore character
Noob Saibot is such a cool ninja.
Pretty much half the mk cast
Rain
Same with Ermac. They’re very clever when they want to be.
@@Ddform214 true. It almost feels like the entirety of MK was a meme that just took off and got successful.
You forgot vanilla MK3, where he was just a blacked out Kano.
And Deadly Alliance TA where he was just blacked out Scorpion again.
@@bbbbKeJodddd I always forget GBA DA is a thing.
Came here to say the same about vanilla.
Good
kano doing blackface lol
My favorite part of MK11 Noob's design is the fact that he holds his sickle by lodging it in his shoulder.
The way of lodging through his chest is literally perfect. love it.
it's so cold, no pun intended
Easily one of the coolest character's in the whole franchise
He’s not my favorite ninja but definitely a cool one .
@@aryelrosa4829 same
Shame NRS treated him like a dumb jobber in M11. Wonder how they will treat him in MK 1 DLC story.
@@okagron Based on other people's comments I think Noob may actually be getting a chapter in the MK1 Khaos Reigns story.
The only cool person called "NOOB" in history.
The development from after all these years from a glitch/secret character to a full on character is insane to me.
Ermac
@@terry.1428 yes. Ermac is a good one.
@@thelightningpython7444yup Ermac and Noob are so dope
@@thelightningpython7444 jade, reptile, and rain too no?
@@raged_phx6440 yeah, even them. MK got so much secret characters.
Yeah Noob`s default MK9 costume is still the best tbh. Perfect combination between the "executioner" and "classic ninja" aesthetic. Also, shoutout to vanilla MK3, where they straight up just turned him into Kano for whatever reason.
MK9 continues to be peak design
no.never
@@kamilszczęsny-m9dnah op is right
Mk9 was actually peak of the series, its been going more downhill since
@@GreatRaijinwrong
@Jl-qg5xz mk 11 and mk1 are bad lil bro, sorry to be the one to burst your bubble, i did enjoy mkx gameplay more than 9 though

6:45 he looks like a Chinese vampire. You know the ones that bounce around with their arms stretched forward.
B o o n T o b i a s
MK1's design of Noob is over hated. I like his unique look.
Kinda mixed on Noob now. At the beginning he was just kinda there with a silly yet cute name if you get the joke. Once Deception came out and add the retcon revelation with OG Sub-Zero Bi Han, that made him infinitely more interesting and recolored the character’s entire history.
Now though it seems like Bi Han becoming Noob is almost like a destiny of sorts and always ensuring that Bi Han will be an evil bastard from the get go.
Well, he’s always f-ed over Scorpion in some way, so I’d say he’d be considered an a-hole no matter what.
I'm still mad that they didn't make Hanzo into Noob in the new timeline. Kuai Liang took Scorpion so Hanzo needs something new. It was right there for him.
Max missed MK3 Noob Saibot using a black Kano sprite.
Yeah, I was going to comment this. He missed literally the first iteration of this character.
He also missed the Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition on GBA where he was a blacked out MKDA Scorpion
Yeah, he got the very first version from MK2, but missed the Kano sprite where he'd do the both arms flexing victory pose!
Then again, it's still just a black silhouette
@@bonjifyit’s not a big deal
@@Half_Bl00d_H3R0Kinda is
MK9 was peak everything
The only rule for Noob is that his palette should be all black to Black/Dark Grey. Anything other than that, and the appeal is lost in terms of matching with Saibot.
Or purple to match his magic.
Well thats the thing, correct me if im wrong but his magic is green now right?@SpaceAnomaly09
The biggest problem with his new design is all the green, it just looks like he sneezed.
MK9 had great designs across the board
Noob's visual design history is like... "here's MK9 Noob, omg this is the coolest ninja character in all of Mortal Kombat!" Aaand we're done, there is nothing else to really consider going forwards or backwards.

His mk9 designs are the best, ninja and reaper
MK9 Is definitely my favorite Noob Saibot design 🖤
It’s nice to see more Rate Design Video from you. Hope this keeps going hearing your Artistic Vision is Fun to Listen too.
Personally I wish noob had a more traditional ninja look. There’s so much potential with ninja attire or innovating his designs to not be so flat. Mk9 is so good because of that.
Noob Saibot is just Tobias Boon backwards. He was definitely intended to be a joke character initially
Yep, and then later turned into a menacing, Bad A Shadowmancer.
Now he's the GOAT! The GOOOOOAT 🐐
MK9 had the best outfit designs for most of the cast, later games over did them adding unnecessary layers and accessories.
Mk9 design grew on me. My fave Noob Saibot design
Love mk9 in look and character and voice. He looks like the villain in Batman Mask of the Phantasm and I feel like that was on purpose because he quotes the character in an mk11 intro.
Fun fact when noob saibot appeared in MK2 he played like his brother Kuai and in the UMK3 they had to use Kano’s fighting style before trilogy effectively gave him his own fighting palette. My favorite skin for noob is MK9 Saibot.
MK9 Noob design is peak .
I’m really glad we’re getting more Visual History this is a great series I wanna see Max run through with so many different characters and series I’m super excited for more!
I love noob saibot he’s my favourite mk character
Same!
My g
My fav characters when I was a kid were Noob and Kabal bc they just look so cool and edgy you can't not like it as a kid xD
the pirate hat comment killed me, but they need to fix that.
We need new Visual Histories in our lives.
Bi-Han is the best character on the Mortal Kombat franchise.
No one can change my idea.
The first noob was so hype if you actually saw him in the arcade. Those were simple times 😅
Goddamn after seeing his 3D era design, I can’t wait to get that skin in MK1
MK9 Noob's outfit is the absolute best, and I totally much agree on that one. It's basically the only unique look that that give to him, and an identity as well.
Rate Noob Saibot's looks from Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Mortal Kombat: Conquest, and Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks.
_Boon Tobias_ has entered the Realm 😅
When he said chinese hat, i immediately remembered that gohan wore an identical hat when he was a toddler. The one that had the dragon ball on it.
MK9 is probably the only time someone said "Dude...this noob looks awesome"
The Noob-Smoke duo should have the option to be all black Noob and Cyber Smoke at the same time
A neat thing about the MK9 classic costume is that if you used the alternate color for it, saibot would be colored like Smoke instead of looking like he usually does, very much black.
Never touched the old games but i can agree with you max. Mk9 Noob is peak
They turned what used to be a joke character into one of my all-time favorites by the last few games.
Another visual history Yay 🎉👏🏻👏🏻
Differentiating between Noob and Smoke must be a design challenge.
Mk9 noob is just MK9 Sub-Zero painted black
Might want to do a double check guy, they have different outfits
Isn't he sub-zero?
Noob was perfect in MK11. I loved both his base designs from MK9 and MK11 but MK11's customization allowed you to make a mix of the two. The Dark Automaton skins for Noob were the best.

Babe, wake up, we have a new Max's visual history video
MK9's default design for Noob is definitely his best design! Change my mind!
The best thing about the first version is he is actually true black. Not grey, not blackish, but true, deep, inky, shadow black.
Bare shoulder Noob Saibot just looks like Ryu Hayabusa without the head crest thing
A new one
It's crazy how Noob Saibot wasn't a playable character but we liked him as much to where they actually made him playable for us, and my opinion I liked his MK11 design the best 👍
I really like the Mask he has in his tower ending in MK11
The clone looks so much cooler than the actual character in the photo you were showing of current Noob
They clearly gave him the hat to push the mk canon that ninja are Chinese in the universe. But yeah, it looks bad. As stereotypical as they are ninja mask/hood are always the best
I was like back then it was Boon Tobias in reverse Noob Saibot 👍🏻.
One of the greatest ninjas after sub zero ermac rain and smoke. Love all the ninjas but noob saibot always something special. Even his dark voice gives nightmares of the devil.
Eh, his voice lately leans too hard in the Dr. Claw direction.
That's nearly all of them... The only ones left are Scorpion & Reptile, unless you want to count Tremor. So you're basically saying you rank Noob from the bottom.
@@AirLancer he does sound the exact same like mk 11
Noob Saibot's best design is his Shaolin Monks design imo. Also look up Noob Saibot in MKX Mobile support card called "Brother" really good design
Saw this live, was hilarious especially when he looked up MK Conquest Noob-Saibot. LOL🤣 If you saw his twitch stream then you know haha. Noob's MK9 default to me is easily on par with Ermac's MK9 Alternate. I wouldn't say Noob was a joke character so much as a nod to Boon and Tobias not taken too seriously til they gave him lore. Now a real Joke character, Mokap and Bo Rai Cho lol....pure freaking joke characters like Dan Hibiki from SF series, just silly haha.
We need an MK0 & MKX PS5 remaster collection.
The MK1 version is probably going to see a 'Klassic' DLC.
Noob Saibot MK2 costume skin gonna be costing $7!😂😂😂
Weird head is the easy way to differentiate silhouettes
His shadow has the cool head
man mk9 noob was PEAK and now hes fallen off so hard
his new hat is giving me shinnok vibes tbh kinda throwing me off
I'm just going to say... I want the pure shadow skin for Noob in MK1.
It would be really cool if you could do more visual histories on other characters. Love to hear your opinions on their evolution.
We need that rate the animality video
Oh god Max got the order of Noob’s 3D era costumes wrong uuuuuuuggggghhhhhh
From Joke to being actual lore 🤯
Totally agree! Besides the hat not being a hood, I think the cyan color would match much better than this green.
Is the weird hat a design choice to push people towards buying different skins?
We have come a looong way!
You skipped the MK3 Kano pallete silhouette before it became an actual ninja palette again
Justice for Rain, he deserves a visual history too
I want to see Maximillian make a visual history video with Kabal and Kitana .
Hell yeah he did it
"Not in motion... I'm gonna still be a hater."
Noob has been one of my favorite MK characters since his introduction back in the 90s and I agree 😂
3:22 And here in Exhibit B, we have shoulder Noob, showing us his amazing...."Monke-" Style XD
MK9 Noob, Best Noob.
Max you’re out of your gourd!
Base mk11 Noob was the best looking noob of all time.
I don't like that that shadow looks diffrent in the. New ones.
love mk11 noob , he gives medieval vibes wish they gave him a executioner mask from that time 😢
They made noob saibot like that in mk11 to matched the other characters over design
Overpriced 60$ pack
MK11's Batman Who Laughs is the best NS design
You forgot the real MK3 Noob Saibot, that was a Kano sprite but in black... The one you show was the UMK3
I will absolutely shell out money for Dragon Crystals if they give us a MK9 Noob skin.
MK 9 Noob reminds me of the phantasm from batman like they are almost the same
Ngl, the green on the mk1/new era should have been a dark purple, like a nice deception purple
I think Max missed the garbage Kano shadow they used for Noob Saibot in the original MK3.
Yooo basically this new Noob is mixed with Smoke it explains the hand. They basically took the Deception concept. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
as much as i am okay with noob's jiangshi hat in MK1, i do hope his gear pieces are his headgear and he gets hoods and stuff like in 9 and 11
