@@unr34L- He was, his weapon style matched Kano. I've told heaps of people how good Hsu is, gameplay wise he was just under Scorpion, Bo Rai Cho and Reptile.
Jared in mk 4 always came off as a kano clone but they gave him his own character in armageddon and the mk x comics which was cool. I used him in mk4 as a secondary character here and there and he was one of my second main in armageddon after Fujin.
*@Oh-not-the-bees* Actually no, only in MK4 was he a Kano clone not a sprite swap...sprite swaps were the ninjas with different color palettes. And yes they did give him his own character and story if you followed MK post Mk 4....like I said play Armageddon and read the mkx comics he was his own character and very different than Kano.
@@seasonembrace3624 Essentially in MK 4 yeah except for his ground quake but he had knives, eye laser and was even apart of the same clan as Kano. The Black Dragon. At the time he felt like a Kano clone without his own move set or backstory. He even fights Jax and Sonya in his endings and theirs. However this changes in MK Armageddon and later on in the rebooted mk 9 second timeline version he shows up in the MKX comics.
Right like if you could punch the floor so hard that it hurts the other guy without breaking every bone in your arm how are you also not hurt by the force that eminates when you're actually closer to the source than your opponent, how is the floor not destroyed, or if it's on the ground, how does it even work when punching soil?
Jarek seems like a interesting character that has so much potential that I wouldn't mind seeing him in future games,all he needs is a few upgrades and some polish to the costume design.
Imagine Jarek coming back as a joke-character version of Kano (tumbling on the ground after Kanoballs, throwing-axes that bounce off the wall back at him, hurting himself after headbutts, etc.) People already see him as a joke and his entire story is just that he's Kano's lackey, so I think a Dan-esque incarnation would work if NRS gave him a chance
Doth my ear deceive me or is that TTT music, my good Ketchup sir? That aside, the “unpopular” character vids are always interesting. Not maybe people playing them it’s always fun to see what they can do
@@Euro.Patriot kano kabal tremor Kobra and jarek, right? Not hard to be underrated when black dragon is basically code for jobber squad (besides maybe kabal)
Don't drop me! It's neat to see the incarnations of characters with fewer appearances, especially because they all show up in Armageddon and are often different there from their original appearance. However, on that theme if you're looking for another shorter Competitive History character, how about Skarlet? Not saying "do her next" or anything, just that with only two appearances she'd be quicker to research.
I hope a good few of the characters from MK4 through Armageddon return playable in whatever the next mainline Mortal Kombat game will be. Jarek, Kai, Mavado, Ashrah, Blaze, Sereena, Havik, HOtaru, Jataaka, Taven, etc...
I have always prefered Jarek in Armageddon. That's how you make a character with unblockable moves that isn't a grappler. Thanks for this video 👍 I wish you a good day.
I dont care what the jerks say i would like to see black and red dragon back. Hsu hao too he can have new look and and better moves. They can be done good.
I say it every video and imma keep asking until we get somewhere. Can y’all please do a meta of MK2, competing history or something that deals with MK2, it’s insanely ignored on this channel like it never even existed. Huge fan of channel by the way but if no one is gonna champion for MK2 to at least be mentioned outside of reptiles competitive history video I’ll keep doing it lol
@PNDK&M since you're now back to doing Competitive History videos, any chance that we'll finally get to see before the end of the year a video covering the last of the 3 main cyborgs (as well as his human form) of Smoke?
Fujin is not that much of a 3D character since MK4 is not exactly a full 3D game. But yeah that would be cool if more post-MKT chars will be back, like Reiko, Nitara or Hotaru.
@@RoyArkon Fujin is a 3D era character, along with Shinnok, Quan Chi, Tanya, Kai, Jarek, Reiko and Meat. MK4 was first game in series with 3D character models.
@@TheODLawson23 The models are 3D, but the games themselves are not.

Competitive history of tanya plz?
This was interesting!
Competitive history of kitana
“THE BLACK DRAGON LIVE ON!”
_runs off cliff_
“IMSOGAAAAAAAAAA-”
He still got the ways to go
"IMSOGAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!"
I guess is just matter of time for Hsu-Hao to have a spot on "Competitive History" now that Jarek has been covered.
Hsu Hao was scary good in Deadly Alliance
@@unr34L- He was, his weapon style matched Kano. I've told heaps of people how good Hsu is, gameplay wise he was just under Scorpion, Bo Rai Cho and Reptile.
I actually like Hsua-Hao, the more black dragon characters the better imo.
I might be in the minority, but I'd love to see an updated version of Mavado and the Red vs. Black dragon rivalry renewal!
I'd be so down to see Mavado come back, I like the idea of another character using ropes/whips since SOMEONE decided to leave Takeda out of MK11 :(
@@Alomamola I'm hoping with everything in me that we'll see Takeda and Havik in MK12. There's a ton I hope for, but those are my top 2!
I always liked Mavado. You can do some neat stuff with those hooks, I'd think.
Better Mavado or Jarek then every guest they put in recently!
@@ZekeThePlumber86 yeah seriously they're so cool :0
I like to think that Jarek is so good at ring-outs because of his MK4 ending 😂
Imagine you in a tussle irl and someone just does a kano ball
Jarek mains rise up. Was dying to see Jarek’s comp history, cheers 🍻
Glad you enjoyed it GR! hope you're doing well.
@@PNDKM yeah I’m doing okay. Been a long while ey. Am always up for a chat if you’d like to. You know where to find me 😅

They didn't give him any character. He was always a sprite swap.
You mean a body swap ? But same moves?

I’ve noticed his redesign in Armageddon HIs facial features resembles Abraham Lincoln
Jarek's ground pound is such a silly looking move if you think about it... He should only hurt himself while doing it.
Don’t even have to think about it and it looks silly
Right like if you could punch the floor so hard that it hurts the other guy without breaking every bone in your arm how are you also not hurt by the force that eminates when you're actually closer to the source than your opponent, how is the floor not destroyed, or if it's on the ground, how does it even work when punching soil?
And Ermac stole Jarek's ground pound XD
@@oh-not-the-bees7872 Then again, Jax even without his metal arms can cause earthquakes by slamming his fists on the ground
Jared was my actual main in Armageddon. Spent alot of time in Training Mode.
"The Black dragon live on"
Jarek seems like a interesting character that has so much potential that I wouldn't mind seeing him in future games,all he needs is a few upgrades and some polish to the costume design.
Jarek in MKA was the master of Unblockable Moves and he isn't a grappler.
I think that should be his main gameplay instead of a Kano clone
@@meganinten0078 Indeed.
@@featherguardian6023 Also, fun fact.
Jarek's face in MK4 was based on Ed Boon 😆
@@meganinten0078 Oh i can see that now,no wonder he looks familiar like Taven and Daegon,thanks for the info.
@@featherguardian6023 Actually, I was wrong.
Reiko's face in MK4/Gold was based on Ed Boon
Ah yes, Kano's left lung.
And Tremor is his right
My brother knew about this ground smash unblockable. He's the only person I know that actually likes Jarek and knew how to use him.
Imagine Jarek coming back as a joke-character version of Kano (tumbling on the ground after Kanoballs, throwing-axes that bounce off the wall back at him, hurting himself after headbutts, etc.) People already see him as a joke and his entire story is just that he's Kano's lackey, so I think a Dan-esque incarnation would work if NRS gave him a chance
Maybe gave Jarek his special moves from Armageddon.
I can imagine him as a master of Unblockable Moves
@@meganinten0078 Definitely the Rhino Stomp, but I like the idea of him being a goofy store-brand Kano outside of his signature
Been hoping for this series to come back. Thanks once again, my man!
It's amazing and truly commandable how amazing this series is thank you K&M
Doth my ear deceive me or is that TTT music, my good Ketchup sir?
That aside, the “unpopular” character vids are always interesting. Not maybe people playing them it’s always fun to see what they can do
Most underrated member of Black Dragon next to Tremor. How nice of you to mention him once more.
There are like 5 known membera though.
@@Euro.Patriot kano kabal tremor Kobra and jarek, right? Not hard to be underrated when black dragon is basically code for jobber squad (besides maybe kabal)

My Favorite Jarek Quotes Is “IMSOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!....”
His backslam ground pound will always be proof that the games animators really just wanted to go home.
i'd really love to see one of kenshi, pretty sure he's very a interesting character to do a competitive hustory video in a future
I have always prefered Jarek in Armageddon.
That's how you make a character with unblockable moves that isn't a grappler.
Thanks for this video 👍
I wish you a good day.
We need to know who voiced him in mk4
I hope to see competitive history of Shang Tsung one day.
Love the series - would REALLY love to see a Raiden installment
It’s interesting how similar the ground pound is to Potemkin’s Slide Head in Guilty Gear. MK4 came out first, I wonder if they based it on Jarek’s?
Now it's understandable why Ring Outs in MKD and MKA were banned. Excellent video once again dude.
IT'S OVER JAREK! SHINNOK IS DEAD, THE GOOD GUYS WON!
Love these videos so much. Thanks so much for such great content :)
I like these competitive history's, didn't expect Jerek to get one
Jarek's MK4/G Ground Pound looks as though it may have been inspiration for Dairou's infamous Tombstone drop

Respect for using the Raging Fighter soundtrack 👌
We need a Smoke competitive history
Finally, the last good new character to be introduced in the series.
Bad taste is bad lol.
The black dragon live on! Wabadigabadaaayyyyyyy!
Jarek could be really cool in 11 but obviously 1,00000000000 Special Forces characters had to take the spot in the roster. xD
I was head over heels to see him in MKA
Jarek might be a joke character in mortal kombat but I never imagine that he would be broken in Armageddon
Well pretty much everyone was, so. That's kind of the entire selling point of that game dude. I think it was expected.
I like Jarek, i sorely miss the old 3D era characters
Can we see Bo Rai Cho's competitive history
I argue one of Kano's Variations could fit Jarek.
I hope we get to see new games with more of the 3D-era cast returning! Fujin and Frost feel like appetizers for people who love the 3D-era of MK

Good watch. Here are characters I want to see competitive history of:
Sub-Zero
Kenshi
Kitana
I personally would like to see a history of Kabal
Still waiting for the Kabal video. Because of how many timed I heard about how OP he Is In multiple games In multiple videos.
And yet. Jarek still isn't my least favourite Black Dragon character. (Sup Kobra, Kira.)
I love these. I hope to see Sub-Zero soon.
ooh, this is gonna be good. ^-^
And it is!
"IMSOGAAAAYY!!"
I really miss those days when you can make jokes like that 😆
Good times.
Black humour is dying...
LET'S GO THS CONDIMENT BROS UPLOADED.
Will you do anymore unreal championship 2 videos?
Can we please get a competitive history of sub zero or scorpion?
Okay, what's the song playing at the end of the video?
Sagat's theme in Street Fighter EX2 Plus
NEVEEEEEERRRR
AAAAAAEEEEEE
IMSOGAYYYYYYYYY
I'm hereeeee!!!!
I would like to see a Character History on a Legacy character next time like Scorpion, Sub or Raiden! (:
I heard that "stage fatals" atpRtsd
Please do Jax next
Aka the chosen one
Pls do Shinnok!
Yeet
obligatory IMSOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY comment
how is that a machete...
Kabal when
Jarek mk12
Pleeeeease do Kano next or i'll commit die
Fun fact: Jarek is gay according to sonyas mk4 ending. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Of all kharakters, why him. Jarek is a jobber bot. Why not Sindel or Kitana or Jade?
