None of the 3 MK timelines have ever had an actual, sensible, fair bracket structure. It's honestly kind of funny how tournaments are so central to the franchise but are never actually tournaments.
Liu Kang held a pseudo-tournament in Earthrealm to train them -- we only see Raiden's perspective; just filling in gaps, but I'm inclined to believe it followed "Round-Robin" rules, and Raiden was the only one with three wins. Once _that_ tournament is decided, its victor fights through all of the opposing Realm's champions, and the "defending" Realm gets a sort of home-ground advantage, in the form of fielding all of its champions instead of only one. It's an awkward format that I can see someone establishing for the same reasons Liu Kang and Jerrod did, but it's also a format where the rules will inevitably foster anger and resentment should any one Realm end up on a losing streak -- as we see with Shao. EDIT: inb4 nerd emoji.
in my opinion, it may be a part of the tradition. Maybe the host realm gets to have multiple champions while the other gets only one. OR. Since Earthrealm has won so many times, maybe this was do to even the odds.
@@Thegreatdane269 Actually this is the first one that makes somewhat sense. Lui Kang specifically mentioned that the host fields multiple champion and the challengers only 1. Now it makes sense as to why earthrealm and outworld are evenly matched in wins. because its probably a bak and forth of either wins or losses.

@@ThaGhostGhod it means that actions make the outcome, if you focus on the outcome you are unable to do which action, but if you focus on your actions, then you can determine your outcome. In Raiden's case, Liu is asking him to fight carefully and don't think about losing.
I don't think he's evil until he comes across Shang Tsung. In this moment you see him as someone who has pride in himself due to his accomplishments. Afterall he is the Royal Family's bodyguard.
Man, the actual Mortal Kombat tournament that the game is named after is like 2% of the actual story. At least it’s not like MKX or MK11 where there wasn’t even a tournament.
@@maryray4960 Sure, maybe it's an unpopular opinion but I think MK works better in a tournament setting. The giant cataclysmic battles over the fate of the world, all the realms and time itself make all the individual characters feel pointless. Like why should I care about the Black Dragon and its fights with the Special Forces? Or about the Lin Kuei and the Shirai Ryu? None of that stuff really matters in the grand scheme of things. it makes more sense when it's a tournament that brings together all these warriors, then these rivalries feel more relevant.
Shame we never got to actually see Raiden fight Kotal, Motaro and Sheeva. Would’ve been really nice to see. (Clarification: In MK1, obviously! Can't believe I have to say this.)

@@Thoregor You're overestimating humans ability to deal with shokan, centaurs, tarkatans, mages, among others. Rain alone is a weapon of mass destruction.
gotta be pretty embarrassing to train for battle and go into wars for decades just to lose to some kid that works in a farm and has no experience of fighting in wars. i mean sure raiden's lightning powers gave him a big advantage but even then reiko probably woulda had experience fighting against similar magic.
I swear this game looks so amazing there were times that I forgot that I was supposed to pick up the controller because I thought I was watching a movie
If you listen closely enough during the dinner scene you can hear Kung Lao and Kenshi talking in the background, mainly its Kung Lao wanting more food but its an amazing detail
"It is safer that way, General." Safer...for Outworld. Humanity doesn't play by the rules of closing formations of melee combat-equipped forces anymore. Firearms and heavy artillery would terrify the Outworld forces right before they died. And heaven help them if Nukes get brought into play.
Let's be honest, most places would probably tear themselves apart before Liu Kang got the word out. I can't imagine certain places, and people on earth would react well to the knowledge that their religion is false and the creator of the world is a Chinese guy.
@@danielhaire6677 well I dont think they could beat mileena or kitana. those two could solo earth realm except like raiden or lui kang.

@@ladyriethegoldendelmo5441 Yes, as individuals in single combat, Outworlders and members of other realms have impressive power for direct fighting. Guess what - The modern world doesn't play that game in fighting. We fight not in CQC except as a last resort. We control range and start inflicting casualties before our enemies can even see us. So, Mileena and Kitana can win any one on one or one on few fight they get into. They can't win if they get hit with long range high explosive howitzer fire or a 2000 lb smart bomb. To quote Star Wars: "I think you over-estimate their chances."
Honestly it seems like they we’re building up Raiden’s and Kung Lao’s journey for something big. But they weren’t really much at all. Well Kung Lao was, he said he wanted an adventure out of his place and he kinda did.
My guy in mk2 kitana's ending said her parents ruled outworld so originally she was always from outworld then mk3 came along and said she originated from edenia,its called a retcon
Man this tourney is so unfair, the host have 99% chance of victory most of the time because the visitors can only field 1 champion while the host can field 7. And back to back fights aswell. Liu Kang needed to produce Prodigies like Raiden everytime is Outworlds turn to host.
Well Liu Kang has said both Earthrealm and Outworld have been evenly matched, and that Earthrealm has won the tournament frequently so I’d say there’s nothing to worry about there
I'm not verse on the storyline of Mortal Kombat but how is it that an Earthrealm champion battles five of the Outworld's? I mean, I was expecting champion vs champion.
The trailers made it seem as if Raiden and the "Mortal Kombat Tournament" would play a major factor in this storyline, only for them both to end up being such a minor factor in the plot. What a lost opportunity!
6:22 sooooo does anyone know where you can get the glow in the dark plant decorations? Tell me where to buy them i would definitely not buy hundreads of them and place them in my room
Raiden: So everyone was being condescending dicks to me. So I took it with grace. I returned them with kindness...and a good old fashioned ass whooping.
This was a pretty unfair tourney. Raiden had to fight three people and win against all, but the others seem to have had to win just one? Like I think after Johnny lost, it was implied he's completely out of the game. So one loss = instant out. But what if kung lao won his fight? Doesn't that mean he wins automatically since Johnny lost automatically after one loss?
This is less of a tournament and more of a have your best fighter take on by best warriors with out losing ever way I love having it be a friendly tournament

I like this version of Radien a lot more the role reversal with him and lu kang makes sense can't wait to see where the dlc goes Radien from the past games was always annoying in a lot of ways
Basically in the last MK Liu Kang ascended to the mantle of a Titan. (A being above the Elder Gods.) And used his newfound power to try and create a better world since the original had pretty much been destroyed. So he decided to give Raiden his old life since Liu Kang cannot be MK tournament champion in this world.
I dunno, but I don't like this Raiden story-wise at all. Gameplay-wise, he is as awesome as MKX Thunder God variation, but being swapped with Liu Kang as a humble farmer/monk champion... I dunno. I don't like that swap with Liu Kang, i liked the old, wise, sometimes cynic, Thunder God Raiden with Richard Epcar's voice. He was voice of Raiden for more than a decade, and I can't imagine this character without him now. New Raiden with all of his humbleness even irritates, being so cute, so humble, so Gary Sue-ish, as it is some kind of Spider Man, a character to tell about to 5 y.o kids, in a 18+ fighting game which existence led to development of PEGI
Raiden he is like Liu Kang in the old timeline. THE CHOSEN ONE Lord Liu Kang GOD OF FIRE is like Lord Raiden GOD OF THUNDER in the old timeline. PROTECTOR OF EARTHREALM
Really enjoyed watching this whole section, it's good drama, but...the tournament concept just makes no sense. One realm's champ has to win 7 fights? Understand the story needs you to play as Raiden, but if there were already offscreen fights just say that Johnny, Kung Lao, and Kenshi fought/lost some of those to make it seem less ridiculous.

@coldheartedreshiramExcept he doesn’t. Raiden is explicitly his only champion while the rest are like support.
Liu Kang held a pseudo-tournament in Earthrealm to train them -- we only see Raiden's perspective; just filling in gaps, but I'm inclined to believe it followed "Round-Robin" rules, and Raiden was the only one with three wins. Once _that_ tournament is decided, its victor fights through all of the opposing Realm's champions, and the "defending" Realm gets a sort of home-ground advantage, in the form of fielding all of its champions instead of only one.
It's an awkward format that I can see someone establishing for the same reasons Liu Kang and Jerrod did, but it's also a format where the rules will inevitably foster anger and resentment should any one Realm end up on a losing streak -- as we see with Shao.

Lord Liu Kang GOD OF FIRE is like Lord Raiden GOD OF THUNDER in the old timeline. PROTECTOR OF EARTHREALM
Really enjoyed watching this whole section, it's good drama, but...the tournament concept just makes no sense. One realm's champ has to win 7 fights?
Understand the story needs you to play as Raiden, but if there were already offscreen fights just say that Johnny, Kung Lao, and Kenshi fought/lost some of those to make it seem less ridiculous.
The reason Raiden fought those fights by himself was because Outworld was the host, and the host tends to declare the rules for the tournament
This isnt a tournament - its a gauntlet lol.
