Mortal Kombat 9 was such a great game. I remember the hype seeing the trailer around the Christmas that year being a little kid waiting for it to come out
IKR? I like a little "over designed" I guess, cause I prefered a lot of the ones they complained about on that. I definitely loved Reptile and Scorpions alts better than the defaults. I don't need Reptile to look like a ninja though I like him because he's a lizard man
I’m not gonna lie, I get a little annoyed when people say that characters like Reptile and Ermac should only look like Ninjas. There were ten male Ninjas in MK Trilogy, and they all looked the same except for color. I don’t feel like we need that many Ninjas in MK. Also a character’s design shows personality and traits better, like Rain’s design in this game and MKX shows that he’s royalty. Ermac acts nothing like a Ninja in the later games any ways.
Max has said he likes the sorcerer look of ermac better in the original videos of them doing the MK trilogy. I think this MK did a good job of mixing both ninja and sorcerer. Agree with reptile though. I love his more feral look in this game.
Agreed, I think it's a good idea to remix the outfits of the other "ninja" characters so they at least have hints of them being the different colored ninja characters from back in the day but I prefer Reptile to show off his lizard body more, and I like that he's more stout in MK9 than his MKX version
@@SN-mq4ek I vastly prefer them to have their own identity, especially since Reptile and Ermac and Rain aren't ninjas and arent' even lin kuei. Their resdesigns should hint at their older designs as " green ninja" or "red ninja" for sure so there isn't much disconnect but need to more unique from Sub Zero and Scorpion
If they ever remade 9, they should keep the colorful style to homage the connection to the past games. Keep the costumes, but re-scale their limbs and redesign their faces so they look much better.
Why would they ever remake 9? It takes them 4 years to make one game as it is, and the Mortal Kombat franchise dosen't seem to be going anywhere. So why would they remake 9?
It's just that Reptile became a lizard man after 3, but Scorpion couldn't turn into a literal Scorpion, so he felt like had to reassure everyone that he is, in fact, Scorpion, just so that you don't forget. He's trying his best.
MK9 Scorpion is probably my favorite Scorpion costume. It makes him look fast, agile and strong. Just like a scorpion. All the others make him look heavy as hell...
@@pieman12345610 Idk if this is what he's talking about, but in the lore of the game Mileena is a seductress that lures men using sex appeal in order to devour them. Skarlet takes power from blood, she bathes in it and grows stronger. So she's always wanting to get as much blood on her as possible.
Skarlet’s debut design may be retro nowadays, but both of her costumes for me just come across as “generic female ninja”. The alternate is... okay, but doesn’t scream great. I love her redesign in 11 more because it gives her more of a kharacter instead of looking generic, but I don’t like the masked one that makes her look like a desert bandit/Tusken Raider. Her unmasked Mira-like design is a hella lot better, short hair or long hair
I don’t blame them for rating things on aesthetics but I will fault them for the number of times I heard “this top doesn’t work/how is that too held up” and I could literally point blank see how the top was held on.
@@yungcagedgamerI feel the exact same way. I love Max, but I’ve always disagreed heavy with his opinion on costumes and art style. MK9 Scorpion is not just the best looking Scorpion ever, but also one of the best video game character designs ever.
Don't want to be that nerd but, the Lin Kuei aren't ninjas. That's why their alternates leave out masks. Sub-Zero and Smoke wear masks because they think it looks cool. 😂
No but legit nobody ever talks about how fucking amazing it is. Like it's 20 seconds or so but I still find myself watching it every time without skipping. I don't even watch Max himself too frequently, aside from these MK videos, but I can never force myself to skip the intro.

I don't really care about the looks of the female characters in mk 11, but can we stop using the argument "It's more realistic". You do realize we are talking about Mortal Kombat right?
@@redninja3056 "They can't add realism" They can add realism, but they should be honest why they are changing the looks. Mortal combat isn't realistic, the characters do not look realistic. They are not changing the looks so they are more realistic. That is my point. Be honest and say "we don't want slutty looking women in our game anymore".
To me Kung Lao hasnever been the character that's "just there" he's my favorite and always has been. Folks just focus too much on those dang ninja characters.
I feel MK9 perfected the design of mostly all of the characters in the this roster. Truest return to form game in the series. MK9 will always be my modern favorite and UMK3 is my classic fav.
Nightwolf's MK3 design is his best. He also plays the best in that game. Love the character, but he really needs some love. Hopefully he'll get into MK11 as DLC with some improvements.
Vincent Malahy Well hopefully they’ll redesign him to be more culturally-appropriate-like similar to Thunder and Eagle in the current “Killer Instinct”. He is of the real-life Lakota tribe, so maybe combine tradition with their own MK spin without being too insensitive.
@@oshkosh7 Yeah Ps vita had a ton added to it, even has Kratos as an extra character. I think they even gave Skarlet a klassic costume, along with all the other classic character costumes.
@Fwuffycodbunny Well, that's the point Mortal Kombat was always sell sexualize and brutal. Until MKX anyways but NRS still love to make sexualize Mortal Kombat only if WB allow them to do that.
@Fwuffycodbunny Sorry my bad I forgot to say EXCEPT Sonya but basically Sonya just get fan service in MK9. So all the girl except Sonya wearing skimpy outfit in Mortal Kombat game until MKX.
For the record, and I haven't read further below if anyone else has said this, Kabal was a "good guy" in MK3/UMK3, fighting on the side of Earth Realm's defense. He's basically the Black Dragon member who went the opposite route of Kano, pissed off that he got targeted by Shao Kahn's extermination squads and signed on with Raiden without even reading the contract lol. He was originally an anti-hero, they just gave him more backstory in MK9. Loving all your coverage by the way for Mortal Kombat leading up to MK11 release, new sub. :)
"Mileena can only dress this way" Yeah, it's not like a character that absorbs blood through her skin can wear skimpy clothes. It baffles me how wrong Steve is.
RAIDENGODFANG Except for the fact that that’s not her character anymore. She uses blood magic, she doesn’t need to bathe in the blood of her enemies. She says that she will, but that doesn’t mean she has to walk around in a bikini grinding on the dead bodies of her enemies. Get the fuck out of here with your bullshit. She has only been in 2 MK games and she was a awful design in MK9 definetly the worst one in the game.
Close but missing the mark on some of them, and then going on some weird directions, like with Sonya, who doesn't look like she did in the original trilogy of games and doesn't look military, or Scorpion, who's feeling very insecure about his name and identity, after Reptile became a literal lizard man. I'd argue that the best designs are the ones that are complete redesigns, namely Rain, Noob Saibot, Ermac, Cyrax and Smoke.
Fair Point. Just wish this whole costume issue had never got to this point. I'm still not a huge fan of the game play but I do think some of it looks cool just too many Zoners for me as I'm more for rushdown. A lot of my issue is gameplay but I've also never been one for any form of censorship so I will not be buying MK11. I miss when games were just fun not having an agenda shoved down our throats. Most games now do same reason I didn't get Fallout 76. Devs telling fans how to like their game.
Stryker looks great in this game but I adore his Armageddon costumes - so futuristic and just cool. Ermac and Mileena looked the best in Deception/Armageddon. Same with Sonya's Deadly Alliance costumes
@@degisndinga8853 Mixed. Brilliant graphics, intriguing story, some cool fighters but I expected more from The Krypt. I thought it'd be smth like konquest mode or a separate spin-off story. I guess I expected too much. My beloved chars aren't there as well - Mileena, Ermac, Sareena, Stryker, Ashrah, Reiko, Kenshi
@@irina1296 If MK11 Had Smoke, Cyrax, Sektor, Goro, Quan Chi, Sareena, Tanya, Reptile, Ermac, Stryker, Kenshi, for me it would have been one of the best MK games ever
Maybe I'm just braindead, but I think Stryker was really awesome in this game and had the potential to become a Chris Redfield-esque supercop if he wasn't instakilled by screaming skunk hair along with most of the roster.
I like how sometimes they base their opinions on how realistic a costume is or if it makes sense or not when most of the characters themselves don't make sense also there's magic so anything is really possible
Scorpions MK9 costume may be a little on the nose and overdesigned but its also so damn iconic. Its definitely the first thing that comes to mind still when I think of scorp. Also I love smokes hair. It was the main thing that set his design apart from other ninjas.
I think the skimpy costumes are actually pretty unique to this game. The 3d era costumes weren't as showy as this game is unless you use specific alt costumes.
There's alot of alt costumes that they did notice that they were homage to some of the older games. For example Mileena's alt was a MK Deception & MK Shaolin Monks reference.
I feel like just bc it has a bunch of details it doesn’t mean it’s “over designed” and bad, I like most of the accessories added onto the characters, and I don’t see a problem with it
Dude to the left was blowin me, every time it was a female character that was half naked he was like “10 OUT OF 10” like bro, they barely have a custom to rate😂
That clothing doesnt fit skarlet?? HAAA she originally is supposed to absorb her opponents blood through skin contact so yeah shed want to be as little clothed as possible
Well nightwolf IS supposed to be "The Native" guy. That's why he's so cool. He was nothing more in the story than a peaceful, faithful servant of the spirits, helping people without ulterior motives. That's him.
Anyways smartasses, that's not the point of my comment. My point is they are too harsh on the character. Stop getting caught up on the pretenses. Idiots.

I like to think that Mileena actually shows off so much of her body to distract herself from her Tarkatan Jaw, since she's not as 'perfect' as Kitana
Waspy Wasp I like to think that as well.
Agreed. Her constant chase after Kitana and the way she wants to "replace" her, as in, be her, further proves that theory.
Waspy Wasp I'm pretty sure that was her origin in the original timeline
That was mostly org timeline

They can add realism, but they should be honest why they are changing the looks. Mortal combat isn't realistic, the characters do not look realistic. They are not changing the looks so they are more realistic. That is my point.

Yeah, I love Kung Lao. He's just kind of an asshole with a massive ego and a cool hat!
@@DocDevious23 massive ego and massive hat*
@@darkultra9605 You right, you right. Biggest hat, best hat
@Leonardo Hernandez Jimmy Dean Jimbo aye indeed that's how I always saw it
If this video is an hour long with showcasing two costumes each, I can't wait to see how long MK11 Edition is lol
Get a 5-hour energy
I feel MK9 perfected the design of mostly all of the characters in the this roster. Truest return to form game in the series. MK9 will always be my modern favorite and UMK3 is my classic fav.
Mk 11 designs are much better
@@literallyvergil1686 no
khalil jason face wise, yes. but outfit wise? eh, not so much tbh.
@@literallyvergil1686 no
Nightwolf's MK3 design is his best. He also plays the best in that game. Love the character, but he really needs some love. Hopefully he'll get into MK11 as DLC with some improvements.
Nightwolf was leaked as DLC, and it's definitely real.
@@ArtOfK0mbat holy shit! My shaman boi is coming
Vincent Malahy Well hopefully they’ll redesign him to be more culturally-appropriate-like similar to Thunder and Eagle in the current “Killer Instinct”. He is of the real-life Lakota tribe, so maybe combine tradition with their own MK spin without being too insensitive.
The DLC characters have alternates skins but only in the Psvita version,my favorite is Kenshi's
Really?? I didn’t know that, that’s really weird
Man, I wish they would re-release MK9 with all the Vita exclusive skins on consoles
@@oshkosh7 Yeah Ps vita had a ton added to it, even has Kratos as an extra character. I think they even gave Skarlet a klassic costume, along with all the other classic character costumes.
@@lordcrimson913 Kratos was in the PS3 version as well. The Vita version had an entire second challenge tower with its own crazy fights
Lord Crimson yeah, I looked it up, it looks pretty neat
Mileena's default costumes in MK9 and Deception both deserve a perfect 10, Easily the best versions of her.
Agreed.
@Fwuffycodbunny Well, that's the point Mortal Kombat was always sell sexualize and brutal. Until MKX anyways but NRS still love to make sexualize Mortal Kombat only if WB allow them to do that.
@Fwuffycodbunny You need to see a video "Girl Gone Wired" then. Also MK3 Sonya was playing by a playboy model.
@Fwuffycodbunny So every Mortal Kombat game, all the girl were skimpy outfit. So yeah they does sell sexualize before.
@Fwuffycodbunny Sorry my bad I forgot to say EXCEPT Sonya but basically Sonya just get fan service in MK9. So all the girl except Sonya wearing skimpy outfit in Mortal Kombat game until MKX.
For the record, and I haven't read further below if anyone else has said this, Kabal was a "good guy" in MK3/UMK3, fighting on the side of Earth Realm's defense. He's basically the Black Dragon member who went the opposite route of Kano, pissed off that he got targeted by Shao Kahn's extermination squads and signed on with Raiden without even reading the contract lol. He was originally an anti-hero, they just gave him more backstory in MK9.
Loving all your coverage by the way for Mortal Kombat leading up to MK11 release, new sub. :)
I wish i had Max’s work ethic dude... loving the content.
This is also his living. He needs to make videos to live
@@SheaStyles feels like max works overtime lol
@@w.h.8047 oh no doubt. I I appreciate it very much as well!
Literally shaking at the fact they prefer Scorpion's alternate to his default
"Mileena can only dress this way"
Yeah, it's not like a character that absorbs blood through her skin can wear skimpy clothes.
It baffles me how wrong Steve is.
RAIDENGODFANG Lmao look at this nerd, he doesn’t even realize Simmons wasn’t in the video.
Crazimo Fixed it for ya, chief
RAIDENGODFANG I agree, Steeb is always wrong. Even when he’s right.
RAIDENGODFANG Except for the fact that that’s not her character anymore. She uses blood magic, she doesn’t need to bathe in the blood of her enemies. She says that she will, but that doesn’t mean she has to walk around in a bikini grinding on the dead bodies of her enemies. Get the fuck out of here with your bullshit. She has only been in 2 MK games and she was a awful design in MK9 definetly the worst one in the game.
ZaZombieZmasher 01 people getting this upset over fictional characters are sad
Me personally, I think MK9 had the best designs in everything, close to the og MK designs
Scorpions design was borrowed from mk vs dc
Was great imo.
Well I mean, it was a reboot of the original trilogy of MK so of course it's similar
Close but missing the mark on some of them, and then going on some weird directions, like with Sonya, who doesn't look like she did in the original trilogy of games and doesn't look military, or Scorpion, who's feeling very insecure about his name and identity, after Reptile became a literal lizard man. I'd argue that the best designs are the ones that are complete redesigns, namely Rain, Noob Saibot, Ermac, Cyrax and Smoke.
Fair Point. Just wish this whole costume issue had never got to this point. I'm still not a huge fan of the game play but I do think some of it looks cool just too many Zoners for me as I'm more for rushdown. A lot of my issue is gameplay but I've also never been one for any form of censorship so I will not be buying MK11. I miss when games were just fun not having an agenda shoved down our throats. Most games now do same reason I didn't get Fallout 76. Devs telling fans how to like their game.
Stryker looks great in this game but I adore his Armageddon costumes - so futuristic and just cool.
Ermac and Mileena looked the best in Deception/Armageddon. Same with Sonya's Deadly Alliance costumes
What's your thoughts on mk11?
@@degisndinga8853 Mixed. Brilliant graphics, intriguing story, some cool fighters but I expected more from The Krypt. I thought it'd be smth like konquest mode or a separate spin-off story. I guess I expected too much. My beloved chars aren't there as well - Mileena, Ermac, Sareena, Stryker, Ashrah, Reiko, Kenshi
@@irina1296 If MK11 Had Smoke, Cyrax, Sektor, Goro, Quan Chi, Sareena, Tanya, Reptile, Ermac, Stryker, Kenshi, for me it would have been one of the best MK games ever
@@bosnianmuslim3725so basically Armageddon 2.0 lmao
"this is too overdone" -the simplest costume
"this is too simple" -the overdone costume
Maybe I'm just braindead, but I think Stryker was really awesome in this game and had the potential to become a Chris Redfield-esque supercop if he wasn't instakilled by screaming skunk hair along with most of the roster.
Kinda baffled me how Steve gave Jade a 10/10 but he didn't like Noobs because it has an "Assassin's Creed Look"
Jade is his waifu you didnt know
Two words: Big...Tits. that is the only explanation I have.
I prefer MK9 over MKX to be honest.
I like MKX btw.
MK9 Mileena is still my favorite version of her.
More than agreed
That guy on the left is so defensive lol, let someone else get their opinion across.
That's Steve for you.
MK9 had the best costume designs!
Let’s all be honest, we all chose Mileena’s 2nd alternate costume
"It's trashy, but not in a slutty way."
What? XD
I personally like the mgs raiden hair Smoke.
I like how sometimes they base their opinions on how realistic a costume is or if it makes sense or not when most of the characters themselves don't make sense also there's magic so anything is really possible
Scorpions MK9 costume may be a little on the nose and overdesigned but its also so damn iconic. Its definitely the first thing that comes to mind still when I think of scorp. Also I love smokes hair. It was the main thing that set his design apart from other ninjas.
28:12 Funny thing is, this is literally Sub-Zero's alternate costume, which is Bi Han's(Noob) in story mode
Another fun fact is that when you play him, he actually has his own voice grunts and shouts, wish they did it for the intro too.
Rain has had one of the highest ranked costumes so far. Ed Boon this is sign to put him in MK11
Your wish has been granted
The video would have 10 min without the loadings
In MK9 Shang Tsung could change into who he was facing though....
6:02 *Steve just pre'd in his shorts lol*
6:49 *STEVE HAS CREAMED HIS SHORTS*
7:09 *Steve's cream has been retracted*
7:12 Appropriate reaction to Max giving Jade's main costume a 7/10
Max - Yeah I guess it's alright 5/10
Steve - Self acclaimed expert in costume design aka Costume Elitist
Kenny - Busy setting up his lay for the night
Steve: Solid 10.
5 for each personality.
I think the skimpy costumes are actually pretty unique to this game. The 3d era costumes weren't as showy as this game is unless you use specific alt costumes.
Max and friends officially have bad opinions if they think Smoke's hair is bad.
No Shaolin Monks love? I see you...
There's alot of alt costumes that they did notice that they were homage to some of the older games. For example Mileena's alt was a MK Deception & MK Shaolin Monks reference.
Sub Zero is a 10/10 in this game. The best he has ever looked.
I feel like just bc it has a bunch of details it doesn’t mean it’s “over designed” and bad, I like most of the accessories added onto the characters, and I don’t see a problem with it
I mean pretty much said don't care when something is overdesined. So naturally you wouldn't see a problem with it.
Why do mk11 faces look wide and fat
Trying to be realistic
It's motion capture
Dude to the left was blowin me, every time it was a female character that was half naked he was like “10 OUT OF 10” like bro, they barely have a custom to rate😂
34:33 - “This guy is built like he’s an old Chevy” I am never going to look at him the same way again lol
Rain's costume is great! Really sad he is not in MK 11(
That's 3 games now he hasn't been on main roster. NRS really listens to fans hun?
He's not so important
@@gabiturbinca9102 Just like half of roster
@@johnlenans6409 such as?
@@rogerpayne2714 There are characters more deserving of a spot on the roster. Hope for DLC.

So many loading screen lol
Jade is indeed 10/10.
Boob out of boob
💚 Always my best!
Jesus Max. 3 videos in one day. You do so much for your viewers.
Well nightwolf IS supposed to be "The Native" guy. That's why he's so cool. He was nothing more in the story than a peaceful, faithful servant of the spirits, helping people without ulterior motives. That's him.
Ashuraman American Indian is also applicable, but Indian by itself definitely isn’t.
Anyways smartasses, that's not the point of my comment. My point is they are too harsh on the character. Stop getting caught up on the pretenses. Idiots.
@@Ashurman666 well no it's not wrong. It's just not the right pretense. But Indian and native American are interchangeable. And its not my fault you received my comment wrong.
@@Ashurman666 well clearly it is interchangeable. Because it's been done before. Stop trying to hopelessly argue.
