@@Poussyeater-w5e wouldn't be a problem since Jacqui currently doesn't exist in this timeline (that we know of), plus this isn't MKX/11 Takeda so it still works.
8:40 This game *SERIOUSLY* needed a third line in the intros, like the previous one. Cyrax: _"this armor is water proof"_ Rain: _"Yees. But is it Rain proof?"_ Cyrax: _"... yes... that's what 'water proof' means..."_ (duh)
This version is cool. What makes her almost perfect is that she's exudes her struggle about being human not only with such heart and passion but in a non literal way as to previous versions, could not technically be called human anymore.
10:38 Zaterran acid can burn through just about anything except other Zaterrans, I’m guessing. Because if they can burn themselves, how are they still alive?
9:14 Hanzo might play a big role in the upcoming games. Maybe Kuai Liang dies at one point and he takes the title of Scorpion once again? 9:47 Possible Hanzo revenge arc... Again.
As much as I don’t mind this version of Cyrax (I’m lying, I do mind). It really felt her switching sides was rushed. Like instantly, she switched from Lin kuei to Shirai ryu.
Missed out on the opportunity to get a little lore deep with geras like: Geras: in all timelines with you and Sektor, you two are the first females to bear your names. Cyrax: Am i wrong to assume that we would be the last?
@@High-LordHarza I got what you meant, but in this case... it's not like if Johnny randomly says in an intro that he has a puppy named Sonya. This it's kinda a big deal, for a random pre-fight line. Something that should at least be mentioned in the story mode (I apologise in advance, in case they DID and I missed it).
Man I just wish that these intros could explain in-story on why Liu Kang decided Cyrax and Sektor are female in this timeline. I don't have anything against them being female of course, but we only got explanations from why they are female from a developer standpoint rather than a story standpoint.
We can certainly suspect why the devs gender bent the two, and while I have no problem with more female fighters, gender bending characters is plain disrespectful. Fem Cyrax and Sektor could have just been their own characters but oh well.
@@Poussyeater-w5e umm look I already said "We only got an explanation on why they are female from a developer standpoint." and even if we didn't of course it's obvious.... But I ALSO said we don't have a STORY reason for it. That is what bugs me....i felt like you didn't read my bloody comment properly.
I used to think becuz females don't typically seak the grandmaster title for Lin kuei or it's not passed down to a female in the current ruling family. That makes less sense now than cyrax and sektor simply being aliases. It's not like we ever got real names for the male versions. So anyone can be sektor or cyrax.
To be Honest I Love these Takes On the Cyber Ninja, Yes they’re changed into Female Characters and Different Stories, BUT they are still as Accurate as I remember, Cyrax is still a Honorable Warrior with its Free Will Spirit Intact and Cyrax being a Shirai Ryu is Perfect for her Character as it fulfills Kuai Liang’s Promise to Cyrax that no matter what they are welcome to his Clan as long as he’s a Grandmaster, however while I’m happy she’s not a Machine, I don’t know if she’s going to remain Human for much Longer as that Question is still Unknown to Cyrax’s Dark Faith.
I prefer Cyrax to Sektor. Cyrax shows she has a chance for development, sektor is baseline with no development. Sektor reminds blindly loyal, and Cyrax sees the bigger picture.
I’m still growing on the new versions of Cyrax and Sektor, but if they did anything right, its their personalities. Sektor is still cold, willing to do whatever to complete the mission, Cyrax is still the free thinker, unwilling to stoop to the lows that Sektor will.
Between Cyrax and Nitara, I'm surprised there are no references about partnership. In Midway, Cyrax helped bring an orb to Nitara before opening a portal back to Earthrealm as part of the agreement. But then again, given that Nitara's a hate wagon, there's not a snowball's chance in hell this Cyrax would even partner with Nitara.
The voice has honestly grown on me. Sure you could argue it's stereotypical and "Wakanda" (arguably more racist than the accent but ok) but it's different and the actress is talented!
I like the voice actor who plays this female Cyrax she's good, but I'm still against a female Cyrax he's always been male, and it would have been better if she played Jacqui
I was looking forward to the Tanya interaction. Hopefully Tanya will find it in her to rise above being someone's plaything and embrace her true god hood like her Alternate
Kinda wish we got the male versions of Sektor and Cyrax as skins. Sektor probably wouldn't like the amount of organic matter still attached to Sektor's body
First Jacqui, and now Cyrax. Damn, Takeda still got that rizz going on for him regardless of any timeline. 😎
2:27 💯💯💯💯
i think he has a type...
@@djkphop2610literally me
He's got jungle fever
I'm convinced that Jacqui IS Cyrax in this timeline. And I will not be told otherwise.
I love how offended havik was when she called him more orderly then his alternate self
If only MK1 Havik met Titan Havik. Their dialogue would've been so great
Cyrax: "My will is unbreakable."
Omni-Man: "Okay, how about your neck?"
😂
Ouch
I can hear Kung Lao screaming somewhere....
Cyrax: "Do you hear that distant enraged screaming too?"
2:28 The complete and utter shock in Takeda's voice is comedic.
That one line makes me feel like "Yup, that is Takeda"
@@yugiohgames104 Dude doesn't even have to try his face is all the rizz he needs XD
Ngl, the female cybers are starting to grow on me. Do I miss the og Cyrax & Sektor tho, yes.
Same.
At least they got their nationalities right.
They're not cybers, they're just armored.
I play a lot of females so this was my first time really playing Cyrax and they’re hard as shit
Me too
Cyrax & Takeda? Oddly... I ship it (Who knew Takeda being destined to have a chocolate wife is a canon event?)
Well once you go black you don't go back
@@Rhythm_2black don't crack my guy

@@kenXJKi can be wrong, but perhaps they’re the same voice actor?
@@cybershoutmon9741 nah I checked it’s not her
I thought it was kinda weird at first due to the African accent but I gotten used to it overtime
I also noticed that cyrax’s voice actress is the same one who voiced lady une in gundam wing
Cyrax is still a good person.
In the end, there's always one constant for Cyrax.
He or she always was
So does her male counterpart from the main timeline.
What would she think of her Male counterpart?
@@fatalwaffle1715 I mean, her and the other Cyrax as the male version from the main timeline are good person.
so Takeda is down for the swirl then huh?😂
He is so cute
That's my boi
He has a type and it’s clear for everyone to see
Whoever the voice actress is,she’s doing a damn fine job.
I read that her voice actress is Enuka Okuma.
She sounds like orisa from overwatch
Lol
No she isnt
@@Tribrid-zv3nqOh well….
10:48 Cyrax asking the important question
Cyrax: how do a demon and a Zarrtarian….
Reptile: you don’t know me like that.
"No one leaves the Lin Kuei"
- MK9 Sektor
Well there's been a track record both past and currently.
@@bluesnake1713 At this point the temple door for the Lin Kuei has been replaced with a revolving one.
Her question to Syzoth about him and Ashrah killed me 💀 although I was also curious about
The oral Ashrah receives must be godly
@@dandrecollier800 I bet Syzoth is getting a good taste of her demonic chambers.

The fact that you can unlock the Klassik masks for them is so cool
This version is cool. What makes her almost perfect is that she's exudes her struggle about being human not only with such heart and passion but in a non literal way as to previous versions, could not technically be called human anymore.
2:28
It appears at every other timelines, Takeda has a thing for ebony babes or vice versa
I just love her so much
10:38 Zaterran acid can burn through just about anything except other Zaterrans, I’m guessing. Because if they can burn themselves, how are they still alive?
It conveniently can't burn through the floor of the stage! Insane!
easiest explanation would be that each Zaterran has a unique acid that only themself are immune to.
17:22 Kung Lao from a distance: *NOT ANOTHER NECK JOKE, YOU MOTHERFU-*
Aww You beat me to it
At least it's not directed toward Lao this time.
Yooooooo cyrax is nigerian!!! That's freaking awesome!!!
I always thought Cyrax was Nigeran 🇳🇪 not Nigerian 🇳🇬... oh wait that makes her response kind of funnier.
Botswana
They always change his/she ethnicity in different timelines
@@JjokDumas Different timeline different country.
@@Radhuya Well then it's a seriously worse mishearing, that sounds nothing like Nigeran.
9:14 Hanzo might play a big role in the upcoming games.
Maybe Kuai Liang dies at one point and he takes the title of Scorpion once again?
9:47 Possible Hanzo revenge arc... Again.
or he might take the mantle of Sub-Zero since Bi-han is now Noob Saibot but Kuai Liang is Scorpion.

I see that takeda like his girls dark

Not eveyday i say this

Again.
Every body is on the good side in this horrid version of mk
@@wesleyvalk9129horrid? I find it pleasing. Also not everyone is on the good side. Shao, Bi Han, Shang, Quan, there’s still some bad
I like this time line's Cyrax and Sektor, but I like Cyrax, more.
Cyrax is nigerian🇳🇬, nice🔥
Cyrax will always be my favorite
18:41 why is this oddly adorable wtf
I do like how Buraka in this main game had an important role in the story and wasn't reduced to generic mook like in prior entries.
Jacqui is not Cyrax. Jacqui is a friend of Johnny Cage. Listen Takeda v.s JC fighting intro. I think she's a moviestar in this timeline !
I can only think of a specific phrase any time Cyrax talks:
I will send you to Jesus.
4:06 Mileena we see your eyes glanced down briefly when you said you would like to keep this side of you hidden 🤣
Seems like Takeda has the jungle fever😏
Why is she holding a bomb in THAT hand? Surely you don't want it involved in the struggle.
2:27 I see u Takeda, he got that RIZZ
Yay my favorite is still character Cyrax 😀
My will is unbreakable. okay how bout you're neck
16:47 Fucking Peacemaker 🤣🤣
Those bombs look like Sam raimi’s green goblin
Poor jacqui lost her man to cyrax
16:47 Peacemaker continues to try to smash 💀💀
Takeda likes them black 😮
As much as I don’t mind this version of Cyrax (I’m lying, I do mind). It really felt her switching sides was rushed. Like instantly, she switched from Lin kuei to Shirai ryu.
Yeah, way too early.
Cuz she fights for earthrealm. That's where her loyalty lies.
@@Rhekon it still feels like a too quick flip of a switch
@@Churroseaten blame bi han for stupidly revealing his betrayal before a singular chapter even ended

7:09 The Brothers look at Johnny Cage and say to themselves: You ruined it.
So Sektor and Bi Han a thing?
Seems like it
And apparently so was Cyrax and Kuai Liang in the past
To be fair, if I had someone who looked and sounded like Erika Ishii who was interested in me, I’d absolutely smash.
This Cyrine- Cyrax is completely Shola copy face from Zombie Army 4
8:07 what? Was he given a 2nd chance? 😮
Missed out on the opportunity to get a little lore deep with geras like:

Too many intros missing here
I wonder is cyrax Jacqui
Impossible

It's a "new timeline" I'm really not sure what you expected
Why cyrax a girl
Shut up
Different timeline.
Sorry, I can't finish this with that voice and bland attitude...
first!

Uh, not to be the impatient ones here, but we're still waiting on the Sektor intro dialogues for MK1.
