- Thirty one years is a long time for a fighting game series to be cranking out characters, and Ed Boon and his team of developers seem to rarely take breaks when it comes to Mortal Kombat.
The extremely well known and gory franchise has seen more than 70 playable roster members over the years now, and we've taken on the task of ranking them all in our latest video.

This List needs an update, Ashrah, Li Mei, Havik, Nitara (who you said needed a return) and some others have actually returned in MK1
Sareena is pretty cool. Not her fault that NRS has given her close to zero appearances. 68th is harsh. Hope she gets to be in a good MK game in the future.
100% agreed
I’m from the future to tell you she is just a kameo fighter unfortunately 😞
Li Mei and Sareena being below Jarek is so offensive
And onaga
And Cassie and tekada being below jaquie
I really appreciate how you consider the story in ranking these characters, so often it’s just all about who’s plus on block or got the best footsies.
Really shows an interest in the ACTUAL character, not just the gameplay. Keep it up guys, and a DarkStalkers character ranking would be very much appreciated!
Thanks. Really appreciate the feedback
Eh personally I look down on this. It's a competitive series so in lists like this the focus should be on how good they play.
Story is great but is secondary to the competitive scene.
I kinda love Onaga. I've been wanting him to return for a while.
Just give him a snout tho
My man looks like some kinda generic demon lord with cool armor, not a FUCKING DRAGON, which would be kinda awesome ngl
I still like Nitara more, but yeah I think he could be cooler too if he was given some actual potential for once. Those two and Tremor are definitely in my top three of the characters I’d want to flesh out more in some way, (Both in stories and movesets) although Sareena and Havik are close behind.
This is basically just a most popular list
Chameleon and Khameleon have great potential to be expand upon especially Khameleon.
I'd bet money Khameleon is gonna be in MK12 since it's been confirmed Reptile is playing a major role in the story. He needs a counterpart and she's the last of his kind.
Really solid list! I'd re-arrange a little bit, but its all subjective, and y'all did a great list!
ohhh sareena at 68 is absolutely blasphemy, she has so much potential and lots of fans that definetly want to see her make an epic comeback, definetly the most underused mk character of all time, but one with a lot of lore behind her, and she has awesome moves too, hopefully mk12 will finally be her time to truely shine, she was one of my favorites in armeggeddon.
Jacqui as the highest ranking kombat kid? Ahead of Takeda??
You're kidding right?! She's easily the worst.
Yeah he's definitely breaking our hearts right now with some on this list 😆
I didn't like the way Takeda played felt like baby brainiac
Jacqui is great, don't know what you are talking about...
@@rondino4634 but better than takeda?
It's his list... 🤷🏾♀️
#68 Sareena a forgettable character since when? You guys should know that she's probably the most popular requested character to return in a game after her cameo in MKX but she gets getting shelved she's a character fans hope is in MK12.
Remove her connection to Sub Zero and who is she? Ahshra, but at least she had a cooler gimmick.
"Sareena a forgettable character since when?"
I forget
I know. Sareena rated lower than Jaqui, Darrius, Blaze, and Jarek?
Clearly Event Hubs has no idea what the pulse of the MK fan base is.
I can't finish the video after that. 😂
Yeah Sareena is one of the top most requested character fans want back in Mortal Kombat since MKX and her being in Kabal MK12 arcade ending even made fans want her more to be in MK12.
Truth is Sareena is just Sub/Noob's goth girlfriend who people make seem cooler than she actually is.
I love these ‘count down to the best fighter in the series’ type videos. Would love to see a Killer Instinct one in future.
If he did make a Killer Instinct list, obviously Orchid would take the number 1 spot, but this guy wouldn't do the list justice anyway, his bias against Cammy in the Street Fighter list was pathetic at best.
@@tripled4me She still made top 10!
I want to see killer instinct list 🙌
kintaro have a LOT of impact when mk2 came out. He's behind that vampire that nobody knows..............
I never get the hate fo taven and shujinko when they have more lore and achievements than 80 percent of this list fam
Taven is legitimately more accomplished than like 95% of any mk character to exist. Shujinko is goated too. This is a popularity list.
Thank you John. I love it when EventHubs covers Mortal Kombat.
No way you said that Jacqui is the best of the Kombat Kids. Cassie and Takeda are the 2 best and most popular, and it’s not even close.
This was a cool video! My top 10 are
Smoke, Mileena, Sub Zero, Sheeva, Sindel, Ermac, Kenshi, Scorpion, Reptile, Kung Lao
No offense
But this list is SO BAD.
The only one I've seen that's worst is this one ranking video I found of all the Persona characters
These are my mains always and forever idc what no one says...in this Order Lord Fujin...Male Ninjas Ermac & Rain...Cyrax...Female Ninjas Jade & Frost..Boss Kintaro that's all Folks 😎
Onaga needs to be a lil higher
I’ve seen a few comments about him, I didn’t realize he had so many fans.
I didn't mind Dairou. I found him to be quite strong in Deception. I think he also has a lot of room for development if they ever put him in another game.
He was a relatively strong character with his unblockable ground pound. TrueUnderDawg did a video on him about all that, IIRC
I really enjoy Taven and want to see what a modern version could look like
As someone familiar with stuff from Mugen like Mortal Kombat Project, this list baffles me. I don't disagree with it 100%, but imho a lot of the the choices just feel wrong in some way, especially in regards to all of the NRS original characters besides Skarlet. (Tremor doesn't count because he was supposed to be in Trilogy and appeared in… ugh, Special Forces)
I also find it funny how you completely excluded Meat and Mokap for being "joke characters" when 1. They are on the main roster of Armageddon, and 2. Bo Rai Cho and even Rain at first are generally considered as joke characters. Also no Triborg even though you added Chameleon and Khameleon, which is also weird.
I could go on and on about all the points I’d lay out about every single entry, but it would be too excessive for a comment and I realize it's generally not that important since all of this comes down to just opinions at the end of the day, so even though I don't agree with everything I'll let it slide, especially since this video seems to be well enough crafted and that you seem to be genuine, which is more than what I can say about many other channels out there. So by all means have no fear in feeling the way you do. I wish you the best of luck for you and your content. :)
One thing I will say though, is saying that characters like Sareena, Tanya, and Tremor are as low as they are when you compare them to the aforementioned MKP counterparts is hilarious. Story or not, characters like them *always* had potential, so to see Sareena so absurdly low sure is something alright.
Always liked Hsu Hao
Everybody only hate hsu hao cause Ed boon said it. He was far better than half the characters he ranked way lower !
@@RicoFrGamingWould definitely take Tsu Hao over Jacqui and Quan Chi
I'm curious what the criteria is based on when ranking the characters.
I think somebody got their copy of mortal Kombat 3 taken away from them....
Jarek better than Hotaru??
Bro... no... I disagree...
Tbh this guy has very weird standards
Mortal Kombat has a lot of heavily underutilized characters. Personally I'd love to see Onaga and Havik come back and kick some ass. Really good list
Havik is back in MK1
bro the roast on mavado killed me
Pleasantly surprised by Quan Chi ranking. He has my favorite fatality of all time
I second this. Quan Chi is GOAT!
@@alicebradshaw3223And Quantum Chi is absolute.
Taven is one of my favourite characters!
He's memorable just as scorpion and sub-zero for me lol
Still, nice video! Even through i don't agree with half of you rankings i still appreciate you effort for making this rank list!
I would love to see you do this kind of list for other fighting games like Virtua Fighter & Soul Calibur
As someone who has only been vaguely aware of Mortal Kombat as the years gone on I find it interesting to see the ebbs and flow of fan-love. While this list seems more or less like I expected (Early 2D era characters ranked high, 3D-characyers pre-reboot ranked lowest, moderns in the middle) it's interesting to see comments fighting back against that assessment. Feels like with Star Wars, when I was growing up it was just a given the prequels were abysmal and now their fans are standing up for them more and more. So it'll be interesting to see the reception to this list, is all
As someone who LIVES Mortal Kombat, this list was pretty shit.
@@DLKnightstick1989Fr. Putting Jacqui above Havik, Hotaru, Shinnok etc is blasphemy. Also "Shinnok is just an Elder God who's evil for the sake of evil". Yeah, welcome to MK. Most of our villains are like that
Where Is Kronika?
Sub-Zero is number 1 and always been
Scorpion as 1 is so safe. Where would he be without Ed boons bias?
I do think it was probably NRS' decision to make him the poster boy and such that gives him the edge.
Agreed, he’s overrated
Johnny Cage is my favorite. Thanks for the love. Now do one for KOF
idk what it is but even though he's only had 1 appearance takeda is in my top 3 he's just such a cool character
I hate to say it but MKV was epic for me because it was my 2nd game on PS2. And Movado was my main character!
Where's the "Worst New Characters" video for the MK9-11? I really enjoyed the first two lists!
Btw y'all make great content! Please keep it going!
Why does no one like Moloch?? He's so cool tho 😭
First character I remembered was #54
Сарина, серьезно ??? Это незаслуженно, она появлялась только в двух частях МК
Finally found a best ranking Mortal Kombat fighters, i will agree with all those list on your characters there
even cool you didn't show Mokap and Meat, they are compelling, thx so much to put Hsu Hao on lowest list, very cool list, even Havik will be my favorite fighters
My top 5 are:
Ermac
Kenshi
Fujin
Cyrax
Scorpion
Sorry but I think Sonya deserved a MUCH higher spot than Kitana and Mileena
@@nicklattimorecomedy5497 sadly Sonya didn’t have cool combos in MK11 much like Tanya now she’s way too different from what she should have been
Worst list ever
I stopped watching when you said, "No Meat or MoCap." Just put them at the bottom of the list, if that's how you feel.
They're at the bottom of the list
@@EventHubs Lies! You explicitly state they're excluded.
You can predict the 1st rank by hearing the transition sound
The hsu hao hate bandwagon is ridiculous
No Meat or Mocap? But if you included them, you would have had a nice even 75.
Kintaro and shao khan were actually playable in mk3 with one of the multiple cheat codes
Good rankings, personally think Jacqui isn't better than the other "Kombat Kids" and that Reptile should be top ten if anything due to being historical as the first hidden fighter in fighting games.
Tbh Jacqui and Quan Chi deserves to be at the bottom
I'd say Kobra is a lot worse than both Hsu Hao and Dairou.
Suddenly Dairou becomes Havik and turns into my favorite character lol
I don't love your list, but thanks sharing your opinion
Fighters Den gave his number 1 to Sub Zero and Scorpion. I think it's a Yin and Yang thing. People always D riding Scorpion but forget how important Sub Zero is in the MK lore and story. My take though.
Dude had onaga at 66 !!
It's funny how he lies about how people like Cetrion
Shang being so high up is very based
Before watching... Motaro is number 1
Jarek is the worst imo.
John cena as Stryker? I can see that
But technically… You can’t see him lol
Never would’ve guessed who the top two would be 😂😂😂
Play dirty with onaga
He deserve more
I would put him +- at 40s
Are we not gonna talk about how jade some how beat out kung Lao jade in any game she’s in literally makes up 1% everyone wants her in the game but no one plays her
I’m not sure how you can put Onaga so low
Mavado was way too high on the list…I’d put him as 3rd worst
Edit: “as opposed to one of the good guys” …you do realize Scorpion is technically one of the good guys in half the stories right? The only times he’s not is if the “good guys” betray him in some way, like when the elder gods turned his dead clan into zombies. He’s typically against the villains (specifically Quan Chi) and when he’s not he quickly realizes he’s in the wrong and changes sides. People just assume he’s a villain because he’s a fire ninja with a mean voice and anger issues.
I’m tired of people saying Kobra is a clone of Ken, Kobra is inspired from Johnny Lawrence from Karate Kid.
Welcome to the MK fanbase. Half of us haven't actually played the games before shit talking them. They're as bad as Dragon Ball fans in that regard
I think onaga,havik,Reiko and motaro are pretty cool and popular characters and they should rank higher
I can’t get with you putting onaga that high on the list that’s just crazy.
They should get Riddick for mk 12
very cool video
Glad you enjoyed it
14:30 No that's definitely D'vorah.
Omg... It shows how street fighter only fan you must be. Maybe you are one of those nostalgic fans of the original mk trilogy but you're nowhere near the real mk fan's feelings. People have been pleading for the return of the 3d era characters. We can agree they didn't have a proper development thanks to the limitations of that time, but that's exactly why us, the real mk fans want them so much... Any mk dedicated channel recognizes this and in the polls many of the 3d era characters have got great spots, especially if it's about being demanded for the new game. Sareena is a great example. There's even a movement who wants her. The real mk fans tend to dislike more the newcomers of the nrs era who don't have an excuse of limitations nor technology issues but were plain and boring, such as Kronika, Cetrion, Kollector or Jacqui. I understand this is your personal list, but since you're somehow a media for videogames, you should at least consider fans criteria...
Please do one for killer instinct and Tekken
I’m curious to know who’s considered to be the Mt.Rushmore characters of fighting games. I would definitely have Scorpion and maybe Chun li on mines but who else?
Sindel is Wayyyy stronger than 35
1 haivk bcez he is so cool
I’ve never seen Johnny Cage in the top 3 of a Mortal Kombat character list y’all must really love this guy!
29:55 I couldn't say that better myself 🤔
Lmao almost had me thinking blade was in the game im high💀
I think scorpion and subzero were missing in mk3
I wish they added the dlc characters
Sindel is alot more iconic to be so low 😮
27:30 it’s “relegated,” not “regulated.”
You didn’t put Jade on the list?…
Dang man why Cassie lol she is my main fighter in mk11 and online.
Still waiting for an MK game where Scorpion is the protagonist.
Not likely tbh. He just doesn't work as a protagonist
People keep on saying that Meat is a "Joke character", but what is the joke here exactly? Is the story of a failed experiment who escaped Shang Tsung's flesh pits sounds funny to anybody?
Or is it his name? well, in a franchise where people's names are Smoke, Frost, Rain and freakin' Kollector, a skinless fighter named meat sounds quite fitting.
I just don't get it.
Did you forget Ferra and Torr?

How is taven and shujinko when they have more lore than 80 percent of this list fam
What does happen to a toad when its struck. Yightning? I couldn't finish the movie so missed the clip amd this nust made me curious
How about doing a KOF or Samurai Shodown character ranking? 🤔
everything checks out!
Kung lao not being in the top ten is just ridiculous lol this is the worst list ive ever seen
I'm a bit annoyed with the all the fawning Sheeva gets in MK11 intros. Feels like they're trying too hard.
Also, Cassie Cage should be much higher. She's pretty damn hiliarious in MK11
blaze made me lol in a public place good job.
Justice for Hsu Hao
What about doing one for Tekken?
