@@lovekeego yeah mk 1 is really the best entry point for new people to the franchise. As it’s not only a restart, but it’s gameplay is more modern for what’s new in fighting games today. You’ll understand the lore eventually! It just takes time since so much stuff either doesn’t make sense, or it was retconed at some point. Just know there 3 timelines (technically) the first timeline (mk 1992 to mk Armageddon) and the second timeline (mk 2011 to mk11) which it’s Timeline is controversial. Since it’s technically a restart of the mk 1992 timeline. Raiden pretty much sends a message to his younger self. So he won’t cause Armageddon. And then mk1 a new timeline made by liu kang. It’s separate to the others, just know the liu kang in mk1 is the same liu kang, from mk 2011. It’s really that simple. Now the full in depth lore is a little wacky. But you’ll get there and understand it eventually. Just have fun for now, these games are meant to be fun so don’t overthink it!
Can we talk about how in all Rain interactions he wished that he’d been neutralized like Hanzo or Shang (before intervention) I kinda feel bad for him…
@@ctm2725because in the past timeline rain was really cocky and thinks he's above all others because of his "godhood" so liu kang took it in hopes of reforming him. Same reason why he made shao, shang tsung, and quanchi in this timeline.
I kinda hope he will have a redemption arc and that redemption arc includes his demi god status being restored once he knows how to live humble and without pride, joining as one of Lui Kangs emissaries
Gotta love how Shang Tsung's profile and intro with Geras just shuts down the debate about Liu Kang not doing enough to reform him, man was flat out described as being too lazy and too shifty for honest hard work
I love how Geras tells Ashrah she's sought absolution in all timelines which is nice to hear as a way for the devs to be like "yeah, we've stayed true to her lore every bit".
They did hint that they would have had to if Ashrah had appeared last timeline: "Kronika never meant for you to attain absolution." And Ashrah, for her part, IMMEDIATELY gets it: "As it would have disrupted HER 'Golden Balance'."
“Prior Mileena’s were all *Malice* and *spite!”* “You fair better in this timeline than in others.” I’m glad we finally have a verison of Mileena where she has her shit together and is loved by her family
It does help that Mileena is the actual sister to Kitana and the actual daughter to Sindel Instead of basically being the equivalent of a living weapon of war
Geras:"It is a pleasure to know this iteration of you." Sindel:"What was wrong with the others?" Me:"Ma'am, you'll need to grab a seat, because this'll take a while."
Geras: Kronika kept flopping you from pure evil, to mind controlled to pure good trying to find her "balance" of Good and Evil. Sindel: Why so many changes? Geras: Lady, Kronika might have created me. But she was crazier than Havok!

I really would have prefer a third line like they did in MK11, it added more deph to the dialogues, now i feel like they could say more by replying to the second line
No she is not, in the OG games, The Ford was manipulating her and making her commit genocide. Which is way more interesting than the version we got in this game
Liu Kang's attempt to reform Shang Tsung really was just "If you want to be a powerful sorcerer then actually work for it" only for Liu and Gears to discover, Shang Tsung only wants the easy way to power. Hard work and humility be damned. Only for us to then see a Heroic version Shang Tsung that most likely did undergo reform. So its not really Shang Tsung thats the problems its the ease/convenience at how he gains his power thats the problem
@@LegionIvoryI mean not really, he basically just had them start in mediocrity rather than basically handed a high position Made them work for it but they never did
I mean... Did he not work for it? He got help from Damashi to help steer him towards it but presumably he still had to like. Actually learn and practice his magics like any normal human would. ....also I kinda like how much his story and fatalities have an emphasis on potions and alchemy in this timeline too. He built his skills starting from his fraud of a potion salesman origins to making actual Tarkat treatments and uh. Really good acids. Good for him.

I actually don't really like how characters, who have genuine questions about their new lives compared to their previous one (like Baraka being afflicted with Tarkat), are just met with the same "There are things we can't change" answer. Whether it's the result of Liu Kang and Geras acting as the voice of NRS not wanting to drastically change the designs or lore of some characters, or whether it's just lazy writing, I don't know, but I wish there were better answers.
The switch of Sub-Zero and Scorpion now makes sense. I barely know the story, but i know that Scorpion is usually the bad guy so it weird to see Sub-Zero as the villain

Lmao
mk1 really said "you see this bar? its now all the fucking way up there"
@1:33 Eh, it's nice seeing Sub-Zero and Scorpion switching place and for the devs to even make a line out of it :)
I love how most of it was Sindel in MK11 was a mistake.
I hope they keep Mileena good
Same bro, she has such a dark story in the other games, really glad they gave her some wins in this one
Shang Tsung: the squalor I endured as a child-
Geras: shut the fuck up!
Bro tried to lie 💀💀 😭
“The squalor I endured as a child-“
“NUH UH‼️”
I like the constant metacommentary about how disliked Evil Sindel from MK11 was.
I actually don't really like how characters, who have genuine questions about their new lives compared to their previous one (like Baraka being afflicted with Tarkat), are just met with the same "There are things we can't change" answer. Whether it's the result of Liu Kang and Geras acting as the voice of NRS not wanting to drastically change the designs or lore of some characters, or whether it's just lazy writing, I don't know, but I wish there were better answers.
Scorpion as sub zero
That would be interesting seeing him using ice chain saying GET OVER HERE
He wouldn't say that since now Kuai Liang says it
"Was I drastically different in past timelines ? "
Hm... One could say that, Tanya...
😂
Liu Kang talks like he changed the settings in a custom game
Rain: you took godhood from me?
Liu kang: because in no time line had you used it wisely
1:33 this hits me really hard. Idk why
Bi-Han really doesn't know when to chill. How ironic
1:30 that doesn’t sound like Liu Kang, it sounds like NRS talking through Liu Kang
Scorpion must have been flabbergasted with the fact that he used to be Sub-Zero
I've only just noticed that you can give the Ninjas CoViD facemasks, that's funny.
The switch of Sub-Zero and Scorpion now makes sense. I barely know the story, but i know that Scorpion is usually the bad guy so it weird to see Sub-Zero as the villain
