Ok honest question who wins: peak Johnny cage (the magic doesn’t make him stronger, just more resistant to magic which is why he was able to fight shinnok) or peak Kiryu (all skills, and also the brawler, rush, and beast styles along with dragon)
MKX is the best Mortal Kombat game of all time in my opinion. It has the best gameplay, designs, intros, and story moments. (The scene where Scorpion and Sub Zero reconcile/forgive each other is my favorite MK cutscene)
@@Monkeylighthouselmao how? Mk11’s intro’s are dumb juvenile jokes about the others appearance or extremely shallow references to older games for fans to gawk at.
@@zzodysseuszz and mkx is literally "I will win" and then the second person says "I will kill you" that's like 40% of all the interactions in that game
To be honest, I think this is the best story, at least of NRS era. For multiple reasons. Firstly, characters dont disappear. This is a big problem with NRS games. After their chapter, many characters, unless they are the main ones, just disappear or become actionless figures. Think of Mortal Kombat 9, there Johnny, Sonya, Jax, Kitana, Jade, Smoke, Stryker and Kabal never do anything useful after their respective chapters, they dont even talk too much. Same in all recent Mortal Kombats, except for MKX. Maybe its the fact that there are a lot less solo-ish characters and they mostly group up into teams. But still, all the main characters - Sub Zero, Scorpion, Special Forces group (Kenshi, Sonya, Johnny), Kombat kids, the Outworld people, Revenants, even Mileena’s rebellion - all play a major role in the whole story and only disappear when narratively necessary. The only ones you could argue with are Jax (though it makes sense, he is retired and agreed to help in one particular mission. He didnt sign up for fighting with Shinnok, therefore he is missing) and Raiden. But the way all the major characters have plot relevance at all times is really great. Secondly, the plot is structured a lot better thanks to the Kombat kids. Though the game is divided by chapters, and it has always created troubles for narrating a single story of a particular characters (hello, Liu Kang of MK 9), in MKX the Kombat kids as a group and all its members individually are the main characters. Their presence is cleverly spread across the whole game. I also really like their arc. In the beginning its barely a fighting force, Sub Zero can solely defeat them all. But after each of them undergoes a character arc, only then is it possible for them to form an effective team and defeat Shinnok. Kun Jing learns why partnership in combat is better than being a solo warrior, Takeda overcomes the demons of his past, Cassie learns what it means to be a commander and Jackie… well… finds love, I guess? Idk, I just really liked how for the first time there are actual protagonists that grow and develop as the story goes.
Bro I just realized the thumbnail was a reference to the tournament of power ending Edit:wow this man went back and hearted my comment on a four month old video thx man also I forgot if you edit it you lose the heart aww man well anyway thx man atleast I know I had it
MKX : Gameplay is 10/10 Balls on the Floor fast-paced action Roster: Sucks! If they want to include Cassie, remove Johnny and Sonya, let Cassie shine more in the story. Jacquie is worthless, the worst character in the roster. In total, 3 character slots are available if the problems above are solved. Baraka, Rain and Sareena could fill the roster. Balancing the factions(too many special forces) Story : They did Erron dirty, Too many jobbers, rushed story.
Tell that to the 6 revisions I had to do in order to get it to pass RUclips monetization while sitting in the hospital. Yes, I did have to censor that much.
There is absolutely nothing interesting about Kitanas character. Mileena is hotter, has/had way more story potential, isn't fucking boring, and isn't designed for shitters who zone the whole game, unlike Kitana.
@@oldjebidiahbrown2454 That mouth of hers just doesn't scream hot to me... though how they play doesn't really factor in much for me, lol. Though however, Mileena's can be cheap too, spamming their teleport kicks, ball rolls, and sai throws. As for story, Kitana is the love interest for the main character, the princess of Edenia/Outworld before the 5th reboot took place, and I enjoyed her love story with Liu Kang. With Mileena, every game her purpose was just to feud with and be jealous of Kitana, until MKX where they do something interesting and have her try to avenge Shao Kahn by taking down Kotal Kahn. No idea why it took her 20 years until dying, even after checking out the comics. Now her toxic fanbase has got her more front and center, and while I appreciate her change in MK1 for something fresh (minus the Tanya love angle, more bland than bread) that's still not enough to put her over Kitana for me. I could see her being appealing to females I guess, but I just don't really get it. I liked her more when she was just Kitana's mortal enemy. She already had a sister figure, being Jade.
From a pure objective standpoint, the story of mkx is objectively constructed better than mk9. It follows fundamental storytelling rules far better than mk9.
Yeah this game did not need Jaqui and Cassie, it would've been just fine with Takeda and Jin. They should have been the ones to return in 11 not Johnny and Jax's cheap knock offs.
I hate Kotal Kahn because he’s a hypocrite and acts entitled, but in the next game we’re supposed to act like he’s the hero. He had to convince people to conspire with him against Mileena so that he could get her throne. I’m very aware that Shao Kahn became ruler by killing Onaga, but I’m pretty sure he did it alone. Kotal and his cronies ganged up on Mileena. The only thing I appreciate about him is his design, the Aztec/Mayan vibe is everything. Edit: And he gets his ass handed to him by Kung Jin.
Yea and then orders his people to kill every tarkatan in the camp literal CHILDREN and got his handed too him by JADE and ordered the daughter of the man who created who he is today mileena dead
@@assassin8636 Nope he was infact not misinformed he himself said "divorah spoke the truth" when they arrived at the camp to find shao Khan and he sent jade and 5 soldiers to go kill him but they didn't find them since a tarkatan girl spotted them and starting freaking out
16:10 The reason Sonya hates Kano is because he worked undercover for the Special Forces to rat out the Black Dragon leader (which he was) and got many SF soldiers killed and lied to her
If we could have MKX's fast-paced gameplay M1K's musical compositions MK9's arcade stuff and maybe the tag-team co-op MK11's... and some really good animations, I would ascend.
Not only did MKX have one of the best story modes in MK history, it also had some of the funniest intro dialogues in the series. Also, Cassie is SO MUCH better in this game than in MK 11. It's not even close.
Team Kitana or Mileena? That’s rough because Kitana’s development through MK9 to 11 was awesome. She really got be the all-star she always could have been in MK11. But I am really looking forward to what the New Era Mileena is going to do. She is awesome. Team Kitana though just because I played her in these three games, MK9, MKX, and MK11. Also Revenant Kitana and Dark Empress Kitana are some of my favorite skins.
7:09 Okay, the kombat kids to me feel like what Tekken did with Jin Kazama and the rest of new generation. Difference being Tekken did that in game three and by that point the series was nowhere near as big. MK does this ten games in. It's not impossible, but you're gonna have a huge uphill battle to pull it off. They did the same in Soul Calibur five and no one liked their favorites being replaced with kids, so the next (and last) game was a "back in time" deal. 7:31 Erron Black is what I didn't like. The dude gave me nothing to work with other than "I'm a cowboy". And by the Elder Gods did D'Vorah get some massive plot armor in this and next game. This is what weak writers do when they don't know how to sell a new character - have them beat old established veterans for no real reason.
Smoke is technically playable in MKX if you count Triborg since his variants are just the 3 Cyber Lin-Kuei. He's not canon though since he's just a DLC character.
24:12 Mileena! Mileena! Mileena! Those who say Kitana are a bunch of zoner spamming shitters and their opinions shouldn't be accounted for. They are less than human.
Just so you know, I started replaying mkx online to unlock the revenant skins for liu kang and kung lao, but it’s gonna be harder than I expected, almost all my opponents wouldn’t let me touch them 😂
@@ryannoluck29 yeah my biggest tip for those people is you’re gonna have to break the cycle of what they’re used to doing. Get them in a spot where they have to freestyle then you’re on even ground.

I thought what she meant is that the tarkatan is not working for milleena anymore because she kills the tarkatan
This was my first mk game and with my favorite dlc character Jason
MK 1 Johnny is missing the shadow ball which sucks.
i skipped to 1:10 with no context and got super confused
Corrupted Shinnok is the most Original MK Character since Dark Kahn
I don't remember most of the mkx story.
Mayba 11 i do because of Sonichaxd's many funny videos about mk11.
Rain, Baraka, Sareena, Li Mei, Enenra, Fujin & Frost should've been playable.
You got me back into playing mkx
Love your vids, big fan of the gameplay of mkX so glad to see this
also think mkx looks better than 11

i'm a simple person: i see my wife cassie, i click

When will takeda come out in mk1
I think the only time Kung Jin mentions his sexuality was in an intro between him and Tanya.
My patient has paid well
I personally believe that you didnt have to censor it
Tell that to the 6 revisions I had to do in order to get it to pass RUclips monetization while sitting in the hospital. Yes, I did have to censor that much.
@tgtkai Aw man my bad, I really hadn't known that they had changed up the monetization ruled and all that stuff. Big misunderstanding.
smoke is playable just like cyber sub zero is playable they are versions of cyborg dude.
100% team Mileena
U know the Elder Gods that is Raiden and Shinok can’t die right? Like I am committing this in mid video😂
Raiden can die and he hasn't been an Elder god since the start of Deadly Alliance.
Mkx was my fav MK game as well
This might cause controversy but my fav is mk1 while MKX is my second fav
Mileena should return with mk11 design in my opinion 😮
Ngl I love her MK11 design
Im still confused why they didnt put Jade in any cutscenes like no way was Stryker more popular than Jade
Mileena hands down without question.
In high school I was a scorpion main and my buddy was a Kung Jin main and he just spammed all the ranged/zoning moves and it was infuriating
mkx cassie Cage she's got some hands
How do you make your thumpnails?
I love mk x story but its so annoying because in story all the bots do is spam especially erron black.
One of the best mks In awhile
@tgikai didnt even no the johny cage bread and butter? What a casual
Have a good day
Kitana's tournament costume with the long hair was her best design since deadly alliance.
I think the characters tournament outfits are all from mk9 bc scorpion’s is from mk9 and that’s the only one I remember so that’s what I assume😅
Nothing wrong with 👌
I think you mean her default mkx skin. She’s so beautiful and inspired in that skin
Excuse you, you have failed us all with that thumbnail.
