I hate to admit this, but I feel like Kano should be very important, There wouldn’t be A few characters without him, since mk1 he’s been important to the story and also he Definitely has a lot of fans , Tons actually
rather big deal, when you put Jax and Sonya into very important. When I think back on the dialogues in MK11 and MKX Kano seems to be kind of antagonist for Jax and Sonya
Honestly at this point I would say Johnny Cage has busted into top tier essential character, especially since mkx moving forward. He's the primo comic relief and all around feel good character that still has an interesting place in the roster
Ok, so hear me out about Erron Black: I always enjoyed the eclectic nature of the Mortal Kombat roster, Ninjas, Robots, Special Forces, Cops, Hollywood Celebs, Kung Fu masters, Native American Shaman, and monsters of all shapes and sizes. I thought that having a Cowboy character was a perfect fit to the weird collection of MK characters which is why I want him to come back.
Let me put it like this without sub zero there's no scorpion going on a mission for revenge. That's what makes him so popular and then sub zero well a lot of people sympathise because we'll he was essentially framed and killed which as well as featuring in the main game. The divide of popularity is pretty evenly split. But they are definitely two characters that grab a lot of the attention from the MK community and without these both or 1 of them being in the game a lot of people wouldn't pick it up. People who have never played the game it self will know who the fuck scorpion and or sub zero are
Why is Cetrion down in the remove category? I mean sure she wasn't all that important in MK11, but put her in the forgettable category. Having her be equal to Kobra and Mokap is ridiculous.
Kano is THAT low? I mean if you put Jax and Sonya into very important I think Kano should be at least in big deals bcz he is the antagonist of both. They point that clearly out in the dialogues of MK11 and MKX before the fight. So Kano should be not missed out when you put Sonya and Jax into the game imo. And Shujinko that high? I've expected him in Mid or Unpopular bcz I know very less people who likes him and he didn't play a big role. Or did I miss out a rage of fans in one game where Shujinko is not included (like in the case of Mileena missing out in MK11 main roster)?
Pretty fair list. I would bring Havik back more often because no else plays like him and has a great gimmick. I would like a more traditional Havik. Use Reiko more often too
A bit shocked seeing Motaro as unpopular. I always thought he looked cool and menacing. I assume his unpopularity may stem from the fact that he cannot be fully realized in a 3D engine due to him being a quadrupedal character (unique skeleton, movement, fatality & brutality interactions, and everything just for 1 character). Basically he stopped being relevant because he stopped taking part in the story. I would still love to see him as a sub-boss once again though. p.s. we don't talk about Armageddon Motaro ;)
When I first played Mortal Kombat at a friend's house, Kira, Hsu Hao, and of course Subzero were my 3 favorite characters. Granted, after learning about the story, I learned to appreciate the characters that actually matter, but I'll probably always have a soft spot for Kira and Hsu Hao regardless.
My biggest disagreements here would have to be Kano in mid, I feel like he should be ‘Big Deal’ Also, switch Jade and Shao Khans placement. Besides that, solid list
My boy Kintaro needs more recognition, I obviously understand that Goro will always be the more favoured but let’s not forget that Kintaro was physically more impressive then Goro.
It would be cool to see Chameleon and khameleon have some involvement with reptiles mk1 ending. It would give NetherRealm a chance to flesh out these 2 characters more.
I feel like Tanya is interchangeable with Jade, because in MK9 and MK11 we got jade but in MKX and MK1(12) we got Tanya. Either character is a best friend with either 2 Edenian Princesses (Kitana and Mileena). See the pattern?
I was thinking same thing plus in the comics him and Liu Kang train and fight together so he’s up there with Lao and jade and them but to the new people or fans they wouldn’t know that and I respect that
In my honest opinion, if you rank Jax & Sonya in very important - then Kano needs to be there. He's like, their bad guy. The Black Dragon has, for the most part, been a main thing that Sonya always worries about showing up with Kano at the fore-front. I am absolutely biased as Kano is my favourite character, I just think if Sonya & Jax are in the game - so should Kano.
Nah dude why Kotal Kahn a clone of ogre from Tekken gets a pass but Kobra gets all the disrespect, I would rather have Kobra, Mokap, and Hsu Hao in a game rather than Kotal, for sure.
Pretty much all my favorite characters are ranked mid or below on your lost. Cetrion is definitely a character with potential in the new era. The D'Vorah hate is way overblown: she at least did something as a villain. If she did nothing, then people would complain about that. Frost was pretty fun in MK11, probably the only character that I didn't mind being similar to another,namely Sub Zero. I hope she also comes back.
Before I even watch.... Scorpion is obviously number one, and Bi-Han subzero /Noob Saibot is number two. Jax needs to be high up in the tier. MK4 Jax's arm rip, bro I think I'm still traumatized. The only other fatality that compares is Kenshi Helicoptering folks.
I ain't gonna lie, the one thing that made Tanya not that popular in MK1 is more of her looks than her as a character in the MK1 story. Her entire character changed is reasonable cuz this is Liu Kang's era. But for Shang Tsung's era? Bruh she's just a female brute. The writers literally could have made Tanya from Shang Tsung's timeline a spy halfway into the story of MK1.
Sheeva is not just Goro. They made her look like like 2nd Goro is Mk11, which in my opinion is total disaster. She was better when she was skinnier. Also how the hell shujinko got iconic, when he was only in two games?
I am also a fan of Cetrion. The devs def did her dirty by just making her Kronika’s puppet, and Kronika should’ve been in the remove category cuz GOSH SHE’S TERRIBLE
I like having guest characters as never return, with one exception. Kratos man, bring him back! I missed out on him the first time around when I played mk9 on xbox360. He's a perfect addition to the roster. I would really like to see more guest characters from other video game franchises. I'm hoping the Doomslayer rumors are true, I'd love to see characters like the Bloodborne Hunter, the Dragonborne, any of the Assassin's Creed protagonists, Virgil, even something way out there like Ganondorf. Id be all over that.
Mannnnnnn MK Could never really Die They Have Soooooo Many Pieces To o Work with, Im talking about they don’t even have to “Reset” A Timeline But instead Stretch the story and Give minor characters Slightly bigger roles, Just as they are With This Whole Havik Thing They’re about to do💯
Man forgetting certion, i even re-watch the last section twice to make sure i didnt just miss you talking about her haha. Also your right about dairu being that forgetable when i found out haviks name in my head i was like who is that i know that name but couldnt put the character to it
I think Jacqui might come back within the next 10 years. I don’t think she’s absolutely forgotten. I think she had her own complete move set and was still an important character
i admire the respect for shujinko, i still remember how i was playing mk unchained on a PSP and was doing konquest with that character, he was getting alot of moves from other characters and you could still keep the moves on him outside of konquest and do tower and stuff. I miss those times.
I love havik. I played him ton in every mk game he's in. Im hoping for mk comeback. Ill def play content comes out but fear support will end faster with the current health of game. Ive played all 3 seasons outside of half dozen fights after season boss.
I’d honestly argue that Johnny, Kitana and Sonya are also “Most Important.” They all play incredibly important roles in practically all of the games. Kitana is often times more important than Shao when it comes to Outworld royalty as seen in MK1. Johnny and Sonya on the other hand are a dynamic duo, and although we could live without Sonya, we can’t live without Johnny, enough said.
I feel Everyone From MK1 (classic) to MKTrilogy Should fit in Between the first 3 categories giving the fact that Trilogy is Actually the First Armageddon 😄
@@Deathmare235 androids are robots with humans apparence; but they have nothing humans and never been humans . Cyborgs are humans modified like cyrax ; or if you know dragon ball ; like c17 and c18 A android / robot was never humans ; that IS why they are not cyborgs
So true about Kotal Kahn. The majority of the fans love him but the writers give him such cool moves and the ship with Jade was a good move too. But the writers always disrespect him. If there was an Outworld only game, Kotal should be the protagonist
the worst 10 MK characters 1 Meat - just a bleedy skeleton 2 Mokap - just a guy in a motion capture skin 3 Drahmin - just a weirdo wearing a tribal mask and stinks so bad all the flies fly around him 4 Frost - just a female Subzero gender swap 5 Sheeva - just a female Goro, lesser version 6 Jarek - a bad Kano rip-off 7 Stryker - just a regular cop doesnt fit MK athmostphere 8 NRS Tanya - eww 9 Blaze - so generic, worst boss ever 10 Jacqui - just Jax 2.0 and Kombat kids in general honorable mentions : Kollector, Ferra/Torr, Kronika
Let's talk about Jacqui for a moment, the concept of children of memorable characters is an awesome concept and I think they've really done a good job with her, her relationship with her father and her love interest Takeda, I don't think she's as memorable as Takeda and Cassie, but she should be in the same tier with Kung Jin, I think she's just as if not even more memorable than Kung Jin.
As a Sindel main/loyalist I can agree with the placement. I mean I would love to have her in every game but I can understand and accept she doesn't have to be. I do hope that she does come back in the next game with more banshee/scream powers since Jerrod/Ermac could revive her by placing her soul in her body and she is resurrected. I also think Cetrion definitely deserved better treatment in terms of character building that was sadly not realized in Mk11.
Haven't finished the video yet but haven't seen Kano anywhere yet. The disrespect for one of the OGS is real Edit: yeah Kano should definitely be bigger than mid lmao he's too iconic for that
@@reality4saints personally I disagree. I can understand why some people don't like him, and I mean sure he's a bit of a stereotypical antagonist with his personality but idk, maybe it's just because I'm nostalgic and he's been there from the beginning, I just love the guy. Especially after having seen the recent movie, he was hilarious
What’s crazy is a lot of these characters could be fixed by having a better story or more inclusion in the franchise and I think story relevance would be a whole other list, because we all know Bo Rai Cho in lore is supposed to be HIM who trained all the Shaolin,even Onagas lore is above his tier as he has fought Elder Gods and won he is that dangerous at full power, compared to Lei Mei who originally just simply wanted to avenge her clan, or D’Vorah who just wants to create a hive
I know one of her biggest gimmicks is air attacks but I really enjoy 3d era sindel and think mk11 has some really good moves for her, not as big of a fan of her mk1 moves. I think she should be in every game for sure
I Feel As all ninjas are “Very Important “ for obvious reasons u have Scorpion , Sub zero And then the rest all been around since atleast MK2 and all Have a wide Fan base
Ideas for MK1 that i feel shouldve been implemented prior to the rushed release we got: 1. Made the kameos fully playable and give non kameo characters a kameo variant. 2. Made team and solo matches optional so you can either play 1v1 or with a kameo. Could even have 2 different ranking systems for each. And for tournament play they could just host 2 separate brackets for each mode on different days For the ppl that only want to play 1v1, they have more options for character selection And for the ppl that like the team battles theyd have more options for kameos/team building in general because every character would have a kameo variant 3. Cross play obv (ik its coming but it shouldve been featured off rip) I feel like just these 3 things and a bit more polishing on the game would have helped with the reception and longevity of the game. Idk about ya but from my experience, MK1 has had more bugs than any other fighting game ive ever played
i love d'vorah's concept: a kytinn that builds relationships with outworlders, acting as an envoy that only moves if it contributes to the hive's safety and thrivingness. that nature is so interesting and the fact that she is the only playable kytinn, a whole different species, opens windows for her move set to be as unique and astonishing as it is. i truly believe d'vorah should get more love, even though she got my favourite character, mileena, killed on the previous timeline 😭.

@@Garagelab164honestly for backstories and story relevance it would be a whole other list
Because design wise she’s golden but story wise she was easily fodder and trash
And that’s the same for a lot of characters Skarlet is great design wise but has a trash backstory
Drahmin is one of the only native Neatherrealm fighters who fights for Quan Chi and is a rival to Scorpion he isn’t even used as fodder likes he is intended for
Sareena even has a cool backstory given she was trained by Sub-Zero so she has ice powers as well
Now do Street Fighter and Tekken
Hotaru should be in the aftermath, representing the order realm to fight Havik's chaos realm
My man disrespected Cetrion so hard he didn’t even mention her by name.

Johnny and Sonya on the other hand are a dynamic duo, and although we could live without Sonya, we can’t live without Johnny, enough said.
Him saying players forget about Jacque Briggs is Wiiiild 😮
i don’t understand why fujin isn’t in more mk games… he’s raidens brother…
8:42 my favorite character ever Skarlet better return again ❤️🩸
I feel Everyone From MK1 (classic) to MKTrilogy Should fit in Between the first 3 categories giving the fact that Trilogy is Actually the First Armageddon 😄
Absolutely agree with everything, I would've put Cyber Sub-zero into unpopular, but maybe it's just me. Great video overall.
bro did my crush , cetrion dirty ( altough writers did her dirty in the story )
Sector and Cyrax aren't robots they are cyborgs.
Are they really cyborgs though, the only thing human about them is their brains
@@Deathmare235if they have brains ; they are cyborgs .. robots dont have brains .
@@mazeluchi9508 wouldn’t they be androids then
@@Deathmare235 androids are robots with humans apparence; but they have nothing humans and never been humans .
Cyborgs are humans modified like cyrax ; or if you know dragon ball ; like c17 and c18
A android / robot was never humans ; that IS why they are not cyborgs
@@mazeluchi9508 I was thinking more like androids 19 and 20, would they be considered androids or cyborgs
I would argue that this game took a small sales hit when it was revealed that Hanzo wasn’t scorpion.
I aprove of this tier list👌
I wouldn’t put Kenshi in very important but I like the list! New sub
So true about Kotal Kahn. The majority of the fans love him but the writers give him such cool moves and the ship with Jade was a good move too. But the writers always disrespect him. If there was an Outworld only game, Kotal should be the protagonist
That's 1 amazing list!
the worst 10 MK characters
1 Meat - just a bleedy skeleton
2 Mokap - just a guy in a motion capture skin
3 Drahmin - just a weirdo wearing a tribal mask and stinks so bad all the flies fly around him
4 Frost - just a female Subzero gender swap
5 Sheeva - just a female Goro, lesser version
6 Jarek - a bad Kano rip-off
7 Stryker - just a regular cop doesnt fit MK athmostphere
8 NRS Tanya - eww
9 Blaze - so generic, worst boss ever
10 Jacqui - just Jax 2.0 and Kombat kids in general
honorable mentions : Kollector, Ferra/Torr, Kronika
Johnny cage should have been in most important . He is the reason I got into mk in the first place and he is an og .
Most important MK Characters are Scorpion and Sub Zero! I don‘t need liu kang! But without Scorpion or Sub Zero is not MK for me
Cetrion had SO MUCH potential as a final boss, especially if paired/opposed to the Dark Raiden concept.
MK1 ruined Nitara 😂. Cristina Vee should have voiced her instead of Megan Fox
couldn't find any play in mk1 do u have any idea why it's happen ?
Your videos are always 100000000%× better than all of the champion "Deep Dives," they provide every month. They need to just hire you already.
Gonna have to disagree on erron black he’s awesome and maybe I missed it but didn’t see takeda
I really wish spawn would return for mk1 cause mk11 was just shit. I feel his gameplay would be better in mk1
your favorite words:
1. epitome
2. embodiment
3. fan favorite
4. cool
5. iconic
6. fan base
7. let's be real
Lost me at “players love kotal Kahn”
Let's talk about Jacqui for a moment, the concept of children of memorable characters is an awesome concept and I think they've really done a good job with her, her relationship with her father and her love interest Takeda, I don't think she's as memorable as Takeda and Cassie, but she should be in the same tier with Kung Jin, I think she's just as if not even more memorable than Kung Jin.
As a Sindel main/loyalist I can agree with the placement. I mean I would love to have her in every game but I can understand and accept she doesn't have to be. I do hope that she does come back in the next game with more banshee/scream powers since Jerrod/Ermac could revive her by placing her soul in her body and she is resurrected. I also think Cetrion definitely deserved better treatment in terms of character building that was sadly not realized in Mk11.
I agree with your previous video. MK1 is one of my favorites..I'd say top 3....MKII / MK 11 / MK1
Haven't finished the video yet but haven't seen Kano anywhere yet. The disrespect for one of the OGS is real
Edit: yeah Kano should definitely be bigger than mid lmao he's too iconic for that
Kano is just a boring jobber tbh
@@reality4saints personally I disagree. I can understand why some people don't like him, and I mean sure he's a bit of a stereotypical antagonist with his personality but idk, maybe it's just because I'm nostalgic and he's been there from the beginning, I just love the guy. Especially after having seen the recent movie, he was hilarious
What’s crazy is a lot of these characters could be fixed by having a better story or more inclusion in the franchise and I think story relevance would be a whole other list, because we all know Bo Rai Cho in lore is supposed to be HIM who trained all the Shaolin,even Onagas lore is above his tier as he has fought Elder Gods and won he is that dangerous at full power, compared to Lei Mei who originally just simply wanted to avenge her clan, or D’Vorah who just wants to create a hive
Exactly what i thought when i seen bo rai chos rating
Is it just me or does Motaro deserves to be higher
I just want to know what your beef with eron black is
@@shanehealey5909 He’s a cool idea, but they failed in execution
I know one of her biggest gimmicks is air attacks but I really enjoy 3d era sindel and think mk11 has some really good moves for her, not as big of a fan of her mk1 moves. I think she should be in every game for sure
On top of the board nice I absolutely Love it ❤
I Feel As all ninjas are “Very Important “ for obvious reasons u have Scorpion , Sub zero And then the rest all been around since atleast MK2 and all Have a wide Fan base
Me sitting in the corner crying because cano is mid and not very important 😢
Ideas for MK1 that i feel shouldve been implemented prior to the rushed release we got:
1. Made the kameos fully playable and give non kameo characters a kameo variant.
2. Made team and solo matches optional so you can either play 1v1 or with a kameo. Could even have 2 different ranking systems for each. And for tournament play they could just host 2 separate brackets for each mode on different days
For the ppl that only want to play 1v1, they have more options for character selection
And for the ppl that like the team battles theyd have more options for kameos/team building in general because every character would have a kameo variant
3. Cross play obv (ik its coming but it shouldve been featured off rip)
I feel like just these 3 things and a bit more polishing on the game would have helped with the reception and longevity of the game. Idk about ya but from my experience, MK1 has had more bugs than any other fighting game ive ever played
i love d'vorah's concept: a kytinn that builds relationships with outworlders, acting as an envoy that only moves if it contributes to the hive's safety and thrivingness. that nature is so interesting and the fact that she is the only playable kytinn, a whole different species, opens windows for her move set to be as unique and astonishing as it is. i truly believe d'vorah should get more love, even though she got my favourite character, mileena, killed on the previous timeline 😭.
