Can you pin me and im Excited for Kombat Pack 2 and I'm Excited for Mortal kombat Khoas Reigns Because Mortal Kombat 1 is Boring now because it was Here Since 2023 Bro and What is your favorite DLC Character in Mortal Kombat Khoas Reigns Bro
The reason why we have all the gay characters and trans and LBGT pallet swaps etc. Is because they have that trans gender man "Stephanie" on the team. He's on every kombat kast dressed as a lady it's obvious it's a man. So due too that the team likes too kiss his ass just too make themselves seem "woke" reason is because everyone is too afraid too stand up against the trans and gay man on the team.... Therefore we all suffer just too make "Stephanie" feel included.... They should of laid him off instead of the mobile team... #FINISH HIM!!!
I don't mind the changes to Sektor and Cyrax. I will say that I like lady Cyrax game play better in Mortal Kombat 1 then Cyrax in previous Mortal Kombat games mainly because of her athleticism combined with possible dance moves in her fighting while using the bombs, net, and I think it is some kind of foam when she stops the opponent from moving. Lady Sector should her game play come out it might be as good as lady Cyrax and if I could say one thing wrong about lady Sector is that she does not look as good looking as Cyrax.

@spartangaming1159 if you are true fan of the cyborgs then you do care because that's not them and there's no reason to change their genders. If no one should care then why change it ? Someone in NRS thought it was necessary
Man I don't understand why they changed the gender of iconic characters who've been in the series since Mortal Kombat three instead of choosing from the long list of unused female characters if you really need them
I don't think the point was to add female characters. The point was to change the gender because is the woke thing to do. Talk about not knowing your audience.
@@geo112994 yeah I think they wanted to do that because of some stupid diversity bullshit. But like literally nobody asked for this and no one wanted this

Bro, Jade would get turned ugly, basic, and black, Sheeva will become even more of a feminist than in MK11, and Frost would probably be a lesbian or something😂.
You aren't the only one. That was literally the final nail in the coffin for me with this franchise. I refused to buy this game because of that and I'm done with MK unless someone who genuinely cares about the original timeline (and the fans) makes some changes at NRS. It's not the only reason... there have been so many reaons since WB bought the franchise.... it's been going downhill since then. I could give a long list of things wrong with it now. But ruining Scorpion and Sub-Zero was the final straw.
Cyrax regained his soul in MK4 thanks to Jax and Sonya. In DA he was working directly for the OWIA under Jax. Showing his face was a way to show he'd regained his humanity, since being turned into cyborgs was a tragedy. It was the catalyst for Sub-Zero (Kuai Liang) turning against the Lin Kuei and destroying the clan, only to rebuild it for good. While Sektor (the son of the original Lin Kuei Grandmaster) constantly fought to take back the Lin Kuei from Sub-Zero. Now, none of that is present. There seems to be no drawbacks from being cyberised. They're just Iron-Man suits from the looks of things and they emote all over the place showing they still have thoughts, feelings and souls. The Lin Kuei still exists while Kuai Liang left to establish the Shirai-Ryu. Bi Han and Kuai Liang were the sons of the Grandmaster, not Sektor. Basically, everything about the characters and the journeys they went through has been completely undermined. Just like everything else about MK and all the characters in it.
@EndoScorpion this is a reboot and new time line. New origins and new character back stories. We have no idea what will happen in the future for these new characters and their story arcs
@@kaigen999 Exactly... it's a reboot. Which means everything that happened, and all the things the characters went through, and all the reasons why we fell in love with these characters.... it's all been undermined and thrown out the window. They might as well not even use the names any more. They're not the same characters. NRS might as well just call them something else. Heck, at this point they might as well call the series something else because it's unrecognisable.
@@EndoScorpion being a bit over dramatic. The story ended now they are telling a new one with these characters with a new start. And new twists and moments. They did the same thing with MK9 and beyond and changed everything and now we get our second reboot and story.
@@kaigen999 The story didn't end, they just rebooted it. But then fked it up so bad they were forced to reboot it again. They'd start new story threads and new interesting character arcs only to reboot or just completely ignore that potential arc. They wasted SOOooo much potential. Sometimes even twice. We're not getting anything new either. Not since WB took over. MK2011 was MK1-3. MKX was MK4. While MK11 was Armageddon, before M1K did Deadly Alliance + Armageddon again. It's the same stuff but worse. They've merge characters, swapped characters, or just outright ignored characters, and that's not even including the gender-swaps. The only new concept they've added was multiverse crap, but it's not a new or interesting concept by any stretch. None of it has been since MKvsDC. And it's not really over-dramatic when this crap has been going on for 13 years, across 4 games (6 if you include the unoriginal Injustice games too). I've put up with it way too long, and they outright ruined one of my all-time favourite franchises in the process.
I remember that bikini thing years ago. “You’d never show up to a fight in a bikini” You know what else you’d never show up to a fight wearing? Giant stiletto heels, even D’vorah has heels in MK 11.
I think it has to do with “presentation” Cammy is cute ….. but objectively speaking the MK “bikini era” has them looking like cartoonishly tacky, vulgar strippers…. Something not present in the original 3 games….
I don’t get Tekken tbh besides 7 I haven’t played any of them and I only played that cause they had Negan from the walking dead only played for a few hours with some buddies
F**k the new modernized crap. I'm fine with new character that could be every minority mashed into one but stop trying to change our beloved characters into something they never were. Especially after waiting 6 frickin years to play them
Honestly this is the least of the problems that MK1 has... For example balance, bugs, bad monetization, bad alternative gameplay, bad fan service , just a bad product , gameplay is fun yeah... with some friends for the lulz , but not for going tryhard or competitive ..
Cyrax and sektor as women is an absolutely trash idea. I don’t care what anyone thinks about it that’s just my opinion, not buying the expansion. I’m sure there will be people that enjoy it
It's absolutely trash but the creators say that this era that Liu Kang created it's like a mirror version of mk11 you see.. and if so why not all male to became female and all the way around,, well they thought that it would work out but it didn't really.
The gender swapping thing dont even be the biggest issue for me. Its the fact that they think we're stupid enough to just take that concept at face value. "look we gave cyrax a vagina, give us applause, isnt that interesting?" No, build upon that concept, have that impact their story in some huge, super interesting way if your gonna go this root. JUST gender swapping is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Its like I could get behind it, if writers in these different media companies made it interesting, but often they just shill out boring, lazy slop.
If you buy it, then you're supporting it. Simple as that. I will NOT be paying for gender swapped versions of 2 of my favorite characters, and more people should vote with their wallets or this will continue to happen! The ONLY reason why they did it was to force that DEI agenda on everyone! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
My biggest issue with NetherRealm deciding to make Cyrax and Sektor women is how they're disrespecting the original cyborg ninjas. Did you know that the last official time Cyrax and Sektor were playable in a Mortal Kombat game was in MK9? After this one game, the two have never been playable since. And no, Triborg from MKX doesn't count as he's his own separate entity that was created from the remains of the Cyber Lin Kuei, including the remains of dismantled/destroyed Cyrax and Sektor. And even then, there's debate on whether or not Triborg was even canon in the MKX story. And then, in MK11, where the two were reduced to being nothing but nonplayable jobbers that the Kombatants occasionally fight in that game's Story Mode. And now MK1 shows up, and NetherRealm decides to give the original Cyrax and Sektor the ultimate slap in the face by creating these new characters that outright steal the names of the original cyborg ninjas.
@xavierhouston4650 Even Johnny Cage? Cause he seems to be overall the same as he was in the previous timeline, minus the green energy. Sindel was overall better than that STUPID retcon in MK11. Reptile and Baraka are no longer jobbers as we've seen them acquire onscreen victories. And Kitana has an overall better relationship with Mileena than she ever had in previous timelines.
@@fluffly8935Idk I’m still trying to figure out if it’s a DEI thing or not cause the VA and stuff. Edit: nvm guess the main issue (SBI) didn’t even work with MK. Double Edit: I just don’t know shit about MK life so I’ll never open my mouth again
@@fluffly8935I been thinking this shit 4 weeks I’m day 1 90s fan mk 2 then 1 to be exact they story always change characters always change always feel different so I don’t see no issues u either enjoy the ride or cry and competition players don’t mean errbody who got it don’t matter plus i think it’s a build to let Kreate a fighter to make sense this go round if u ask me time line to multiverses so the Last 2 game not the same
I'm still pissed off that Scorpion 🦂 is no longer Hanzo Hasashi! They should make Jax a white girl and Sonya a black man! 😂😂😂 Let's Go TrueUnderDawg!!!!!!! 👊🏻🎮🐉🦂🦂🦂✌🏻
@@mrlabeouf9002 in my opinion this subzero is better, it's just a damage buff that's needed but he's a waay better sub zero character than all the prior subs
Replacing Hanzo with Kuai and combining their conflicts with Bi han, would be like replacing Kabal with Sonya (Sonya the new Kabal) and combining the Kano conflicts. So, Sonya (codenamed "Kabal") was Black Dragon but Kano killed her brother so she left to join special forces and aimed to take down the Black Dragon, but was born with speed powers and breathing problems, but never had an accident or got burnt. Then she bangs the original Kabal's wife too, and they adopt the original Kabal who is a little child (I know he's not married but the Harumi stuff with Kuai is just sickening).
@Kn1ghtborne no the gameplay outside of air combos is way better. Mk11 had those annoying blowing crushes and escapes and overall the gameplay was stiff. Jimmy is right
A timeless mk will never exist again. It feels and looks like a tacky free to play game. On top of that the whole theme and mysticism is completely dead and replaced with multiverse slop.
You definitely don't play if you think it feels any different than every other AAA NRS game. The gameplay is actually a lot busier than MK11 lol this one is so mf weird complex if you play fighting games. The characters are so well-rounded by any standard.
As a MK fan, i am NOT buying that DLC, hope this woke experiment in gaming ends asap, bring back the skimpy ninja suits that made the game popular not robot females
These are business decisions to try and expand the player base and make the brand appear modern. As with the marvel comics (at least, when they first started doing gender swaps), these are mostly publicity stunts, and sometimes they have a genuine creative impulse behind them. But you do this over and over, it's just a cheap trick. Mortal Kombat has been mismanaged for decades, though. I think their successes were kind of flukes.
@@wolfumzas a huge mk fan I’d have to sadly agree with this sentiment. Guest kharacters carried them back in the day to bring in hype and eyeballs. Hype is over games already dead and it hasn’t been a year yet
@@wolfumz "expand the player base" xD everysingle time they did that it didnt expand it exchanged (at a negative rate) ppl who hate woke and have a problem with this will leave and the "modern audiance" that doesnt exist wont start playing. only thing its expanding is the anger and dissapointment of fans. I truly belive the future will look back at todays era as "dark ages 2" with those woke agendas ruining stuff and ppl scared to fight it in fear of getting burned at the stake (known as canceled)
I personally don't mind the change. Reason being is that the mental image of Liu Kang saying "Ah Cyrax, my old friend... I'm going to make you into a big booty queen" to himself while remaking the universe is hilarious to me. The idea that female Cyrax and Sektor are just the result of Liu Kang using his godly powers to realise his rule 63 fetish is so fucking funny I can't help but get on board.
The game is a absolute flop, the cameo mechanics are dumb, Jax, Sonya, and Kano not being playable is dumb, gender swaps are dumb for mk fans anticipated their favorite characters to return and have them change the gender wtf! Especially if the characters wasn’t in the previous mk games. The only good thing mk did was restart the mk timeline to come up with new ideas and direction in the mk stories. Just disappointing smh 🤦🏾♂️
I think this is my second favorite mortal kombat since the side characters like reptile are being more than just characters to beat in the story mode and I personally don’t mind the gender swap of cirax and sektor since their suits look cool and cirax gameplay looks fun
I said the same thing about Kuai Liang being scorpion and ppl said I was overreacting or “it’s a new universe.” Two of my favorite characters are now gone and it keeps happening mostly to the Lin Kuei.
"Gameplay first"? That means you don't see the game characters as characters. You see play styles that can be put in any avatar. Which means you don't care if Baraka has Sub-Zero's playstyle or if they make Liu Kang or Shao Kahn women. You don't care about a character's identity and story and trademarks. Am I correct? Doesn't matter if Sweet Baby Inc was involved or not. Whatever NRS is doing, is destroying the MK identity and it feels like their characters and story never goes anywhere with all the reboots and re-imaginings.
I mean im pretty indifferent on the gender swap. The cyber ninjas are some of my favorite characters but this gender swap doesnt actually matter when you think about the context, Boraicho got gender swapped, nightwolf almost did too and that probably would have been a huge improvement. Give me some sick costumes and maybe a classic skin with male grunts instead of female ones. I think the thing that people may not realize is that netherealm was trying to bring back fan favorites while increasing the female count in the game. i wonder how these "fans" would feel if netherealm had skipped cyrax and sektor and brought back kira and devorra instead.
“Probably would have been a huge improvement” Are you even listening to what you are saying? How exactly? How is changing a character's gender an improvement regarding the story and gameplay? It literally serves no purpose other than to cause unnecessary controversy.
@@xpowsimo8560 btw MK11 speed is very similar to MK1, MK10 as well. No need to mention other games than MK. Those other games are different. btw the 'speed thing' is all in the head. Also bear in mind, having a kameo character doing a bunch of moves the same time as the main character (in most cases) kinda trick the games into thinking the game is faster or slower.
I'm glad you said this. I think many of the bigger MK streamers are afraid to express opinions against gender swapped characters over fears of being called bigoted or sexist. Fans can see through what they're doing because it's been happening and they would never gender swap a female into a male character. This would be like if the MCU finally made another blade movie, but made him a female. Sure, it may not effect the story, but it's not the character the fans wanted. It's also blatantly unnecessary because MK is already one of the most diverse IPs out there.
Ive been playing MK since the release of the original in the arcades back in the day. Ive played every game except the Special Forces game. Im a big fan. I really don't like their decision of the Gender swap. I will continue to play however. I am aslo glad it's getting the push back. Fans voices need to be heard and Netherrealm needs to listen. Sure its their game to make but its our game to play. We need each other for the franchise to survive. I hope future decisions will consist of wiser choices.
From what I can understand, nobody but Liu Kang is the actual same character from the previous games. We are Butterfly Effecting here. So both versions still exist.
MK1 should’ve just brought back Jackie/Cassie Cage and called it a damn day. Yet, someone thought it’ll be a grand idea to gender swap TWO ninja cyborgs it’s just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever also their mask looks fucking ridiculous smh.
Despite the many flaws the game has I know this game still has potential I hope that the game doesn’t get cancelled or shut down because I want them to learn from their mistakes and that this game can and should be better.
I think I saw the video you are talking about and I had the same feelings. They complained that Cyrax is now black and that's bad because Lin Kuei are Chinese, but Cyrax was always from Africa, as far as MKIV confirmed it (dunno if it was mentioned in MK3 or Trilogy).
I truly don't fucking care if Cyrax and Sektor are women now. Complete juveniles who are complaining hate changes. As long as they play as their previous versions, I'm ok with it
Never saw Cyrax and Sektor as mainstay front runners, they’ve always been secondary pallete swaps not Sub-Zero/Scorpion or Liu/Raiden/Cage/etc. Replacing Scorpion’s Hanzo identity with Kuai Lang’s is an offense with far more validity as it partially ruins both of the mainstays, essentially replacing Scorpion’s character with Sub-Zero’s. I don’t mind diversity inclusions for secondary characters, it’s like Domino being black in Deadpool 2, nobody cares cause she’s never been a front runner. Also from the trailers, Cyrax and Sektor have never been this well developed before so. Bi-Han’s characterization from how he was in his standalone game to this garbage is far worse.
It’s amazing… yall really listen to anything anyone says lol. MK1 sells like hot cakes and someone has the nerve to say it’s a bad business decision lol. It’s got so bad that now we talking about the opinions of people that don’t even play MK.. it’s sickening.
@@jeffpaez1997 1) your comparing a game that’s well past its lifecycle to a game that’s still very much in its lifecycle lol. 2) don’t compare a consumer market issue with a game issue. All fighting game sales are down from there previous titles. Compare street fighter 6 to sf5. Compare tekken 8 to tekken 7 and compare launch and equivalent time frame sales and you will see a trend. And with that being said mk1 has still outsold BOTH franchises.
I know I'm not deeply ingrained in the Mortal Kombat community, but I find it strange that people are getting so upset over this decision. Whether NRS was pressured to change Cyrax and Sektor's gender or chose to do it on their own, why does it matter so much? From my perspective, Mortal Kombat 1 has been a complete reimagining of the entire series. Not every character behaves the same way they used to, and some changes are bound to be significant. NRS has ensured that the characters in MK1 still play like their previous versions, even if their backstory or context has shifted. As long as Cyrax and Sektor play just like you'd expect them to, does it really matter if their gender is different? If someone could explain why this is such a big deal, I'd appreciate it, because from my point of view, it seems like people are upset over nothing.
It's more of a "We're sick to death of this shit" kinda thing. The Comics Gate thing he talked about at the start is a good way to explain it. All the characters you know and love get race or gender swapped for diversity points and ESG reasons. It's happened so much, so often in the last couple of years that people are sick to death of it and being called toxic or misogynistic or some kind of phobic if their sexuality is a big part of the random change....like how DC made one of the Robins randomly bisexual for no other reason than diversity even though that character in all previous comics had been completely straight with not a hint of bisexual leanings at all. The big issue with the female Sektor and Cyrax is taking the characters names, two very popular characters among fans mind you, and giving them to these gender flipped versions when they could have been new characters with new names connected to Sektor and Cyrax like the skit at the start...it just feels hollow and done for the sake of ESG and Diversity quotas.
In-universe, this doesn’t make sense. How does turning them into women contribute to peace and a second chance? Cyrax wanted his humanity back and got repaid with turning into a woman and living through a SIMILAR Cyber Initiative AGAIN. Also, most people want to play as THE character not another version of that same character, unless it’s a cool change.
Did you guys actually play the game? 😂 I'm not being all that serious and yet, I kinda am. The story mode of this game ends with multiple universes controlled by each original MK character with their own roster of MK characters that are all copies of each other. There were gender swapped characters in the finale. That means cyrax and sektor are gender swapped characters in Liu Kang's universe... and their male counterparts are in other universes. This is a freakin game in which netherrealm created free reign for themselves to present any type or version of these characters they wished and it makes sense in story. Not to mention almost none of these characters are recognizable to their previous game counterparts. As in none of them have their back stories, motivations, dispositions or even any knowledge of their previous selves except liu. And we were fine with that. We were fine with Raiden being FUNDAMENTALLY changed for this game... We were fine with Kenchi's blinding coming from mileena. We're fine with the aged up version of Johnny Cage... We're fine with a good not so murderous mileena... We're fine to kitana being virtually a sideline character the entire story... But you take a dick off a robot and we riot!
6:12 bro, that is an extremely disingenuous take. WTF are you talking about?? In MK 9, the only reason sektor and cyrax showed their faces was because they weren't cyborgs yet. It showed an origin story of how they were before they became cyborgs. The Commentary channels are absolutely correct. And it shows that they are actual fans of MK. You just want to play the "both sides are wrong" card 😒. Stop it. It was a WOKE decision. No one cares if Cryax is African. And the reason why people thought cyrax was African American because they never had an African actor voice cyrax. He had an AFRICAN AMERICAN accent, NOT an African accent. I would know because I'm actually African. And I won't play or buy just to prove a point.
Honestly I find it ridiculous for people to make a f-ing big deal about gentrifying characters like Cyrax & Sektor when most of the characters in MK1 have been structurally also change as well in other certain aspects about them given this new timeline era. 1. Certain occupational roles - Scorpion is now Kuai Liang instead Hanzo and is also not a spectre/demon of the Netherealm. As well as Rain who is a high mage wizard and not god or son of Argus. 2. Alignment of Characters - For like Mileena, Reptile, Baraka, Tanya are no coherently evil and don't serve under Shang Tsung or Shao who is also not Khan in this timeline. 3. Family members are now different - Such as Mileena & Kitana also Scorpion & Sub-Zero that are canonically sisters & brothers. Takeda is Kenshi's cousin and not son and Raiden who's has a sister that is also possibily gentrify as Fujin. And I don't even want to start on the fact of race swapping when clearly Rain who has gone through multiple MK games with a different skin tone change. Seriously look up on all of Rain's evolution from MK3 to now where he varies to white & dark skin and no one makes a BS complaints about that. So why even make a complaint about any of that now just for the sake of making an arguments!? I'm more than fine with having just only being Sektor & Cyrax being female as long their is compelling story for them and interesting roles, especially going of their bio which is more than what the original ketchup & mustard had for their lore. And let me just end this by saying that MK1 is not in the same trenches as other games like Suicide Squad where that game is much deserve hate for. The game has sold over 4 million copies worldwide over and despite major hiccups with the games netcode, and other stuff it's trying to turn for the better like how SF5 did when it initially release and is now in a better spot..
@@Tribrid-zv3nq Who has been silenced? Some fans complained about those changes. They were and still are on the Internet with their opinions. Others disagreed with them but that isn't being silenced.
I don’t know why but I really don’t mind the change that much. And this coming from someone who REALLY like Cyrax’s story from mk9-mk11 It’s cool to see a kind of “transitional” period between humans and pure cyborgs.
Sektor is voiced by one of my favourite people on the planet, Erika Ishii, so I'm hype for this, despite the fact that I haven't played MK1 since Quan Chi got released.
I mean, I would think it's capitalism is what's killing the game (like *$120* for the Kollector's edition!? and now an expansion pack?) but sure gender swapping some characters is what's putting most potential players off
@@CRSB00 gender swapping and sweet baby dog shit is absolutely a reason that people are turned off of games. The silent majority of people do not like that gross woke shit man. Also it’s far too expensive.
Go woke go broke. I stopped as soon as I saw that thing sucking his lips showing me how to play his characterers. I'll never play again. Untill they change Thia crap.
@@CRSB00I think that if capitalism was their top priority they would not pull this kind of stunt. The ridiculous prices is likely them trying to make up the losses that come as a result of these terrible decisions.
NRS doesn't need Baby Inc when they have Stephanie Brownback, Tyler Lansdown and Derek Kirtzic. Cannot understand why people did not find out that yet!!! Stephanie Brownback is there to make sure, since it's a QA analyst, that the characters will be woke crap.
Find it odd that a requirement to be included on the DEI detected list is to work with a consulting firm. Why ignore companies who have their own internal DEI departments?
y'know the one thing i'm mostly mad about is that we literally SEE sektor in sub-zero's arcade ending but now out of the blue he has a daughter and she is the new sektor
i am so tired of the hate towards them being females now, its a damn new universe build by lui and tried to make it peaceful. we new from mk11 endings that there were gonna be gender swaps, no one was complaining then. has anyone ever thought maybe ed boon always had alternative version of a character he wanted to in a new univese, i can see the diffrence between good and bad changes and is not a bad change. NRS didnt even give enough screen time for much character development anyone for this to be bad, they mk9 had 2 chapters of character development then just became mindless javas for the rest of the game, mkx they were only used for plot and dlc but got nerfed and become mid, mk11they came back for 2 different chapters just to die right away with cyrax getting maybe 3 minutes of more development, then dies again. so far in the trailers theyre gonna have more screen time for more development now, and its promising it looks like. why is no one complaining about changes for theyre favorite characters like luiraiden, reptile, baraka, mileena, kitana ect, some bad guys being good now. at this point people will hate anything mk1 puts out because of the trend, if all the pro players say they like the change, people will do a 180 switch up like they they do on the opions of how good a character comp wise.

People are just mad because they are now female in the NEW ERA and have new and unique stuff.. get over yourselves and go touch some grass.. they are still cyrax and sector with the fancy cool and crazy Combo's and as long as if they have the same gameplay and things it's 100% flames
Did we forget the company that NRS works for?? W is going to tell NRS to make these changes without a sweet baby inc being involved. WB been on this type of time for a while too with the movies shows cartoons, etc. And it’s not only they change the gender of the cyborgs, they’re not even cyborgs. They’re Iron Man. And on a previous video from your boy Snake, the cyborgs won’t go through the cyber initiative because you can’t have a woman be controlled because real society would take it as r@pe.

The only reason I see as acceptable for a character change is if it makes sense story-wise. So, I expect an in-game explanation of why this change happened. It doesn't have to be some big thing: maybe Liu Kang changed them because he knows something will happen later, maybe he did it thinking that as women they have less chances of supporting Bi-Han's plan or being of use to him for whatever reason, or simply have them be the Sector and Cyrax fron titan Havic's world, where there is practically no need for an explanation -Havic is chaotic, so he my do things just because. But I expect a reason for the change. If their part could be played exactly the same by their original counterparts, then why change them at all?
I feel the hate is stupid bcoz people have to understand this is a new era .they have to be open for new this happening like gender swap . This is a new era and no game has done a better job than netherrealm in game refreshment .

@Tribrid-zv3nq it ain't being fanboying by speaking facts from cry babies that cry about everything dumbass it's a new story so ofcourse things are going to be different. You want the same story every damn game goofy?
@jeffpaez1997 yall act like just because it's a new story the OGs like Cyrax and Sektor do NOT exist anymore they can still be in future games but this is a NEW story so Ed Boon wanted to try something different instead of giving us the same thing ever single game. I'm sure Cyrax and Sektor the males will come in the next game or so.
@rodneyeskew8629 try something new by giving them vaginas doesn't make them any more interesting. Funny how this whole trying something new is male to female how come no race swapping with cyrax since they want to change things right? . This is obviously some pandering trying to get rid of masculinity when the most the mk community is male . Nrs and ppl like you defending this nonsense are 🤡
I think a new character a female pink cyber ninja would be cool but yeah I like the female Thor but not the female iron man it’s ok but a new character would’ve been better than a gender swap so super excited for the Kombat Pack 2 to drop I’ve been playing mk11 online as D’Vorah she’s really fun to play as I don’t think they’ll bring her back
Actually most people complaining about it are probably people that have been playing mortal kombat since before you were a twinkle in your daddy's eye. We don't like it when you shit all over our lore our favorite characters for no reason other than to say look it's a strong female character now... this is mortal kombat the rings of power levels of shit. Guess I'm just old now and they don't want my money anymore. O well
People literally need to learn how to accept change but I can understand the argument also at the same time it’s there IP they can do whatever they want plus if they were new ninjas they would just be compared to Secktor and Cyrax anyway
I dont hate this game. I have more fun with this than I did with MK11. The Cyrax and Sektor thing doesnt bother me. In Sektors new bio its revealed she is Sektors daughter and is taking his place after he retired. Im guessing Cyrax is the same. The characters and combot look cool enough so far i dont care they are now females
Sektor who became a complete cyborg and had a distorted view about "the perfect combatant"? The real Sektor would rather create his own cyborg from zero rather than... You know lol
Do you folks realize, 1) there is a huge MK fan base outside America & Canada. 2) NRS already announce Liu Kang made this new universe then NRS added this 'multiverse' crap. So changes should be obvious. I was expecting a lot more actual changes imo. 3) companies like/love the so called hate. There's no such thing as bad publicity, so long as profits are coming in. 4) a lot of these youtubers are petty and just looking for attention/views.
I remember when they decided no bikinis on the fighters and thought, if it bothers you that much ok. What I didn't get was them saying it's impractical and no one would ever fight like that. Sure, but you still have some females fighting in high heels. What woman is going to want to have a fight to the death in heels? Put everybody in their personal theme colored body armor and call it good but no, the only offensive thing was the bikinis. Whatever you say...
Sektor and Cyrax are fan favorite characters who haven’t been playable since MK9 and now they return after 13 years only for them to be females and a lot of people including myself don’t like seeing them gender swapped .
It seems that older gamers like myself that remember mk arriving in the arcade find this more annoying. When you follow a franchise that long you expect changes, but the whole gender swap thing is unnecessary in a game with a ton of strong female characters. It just gets tiresome because it's obvious it's not done for fans, it's at this point almost like being nagged by people who want to make you look like a misogynist because you don't like characters you've enjoyed forever getting the swap. It's not creative, interesting, or in any way improving mk. It's lazy, done to death, and I almost expect it at this point.
Don't understand the hate. Its Liu Kangs Timeline, and they are made in his vision, and of course its different from Kronikas vision. People need to stop crying
In your world Kronika and Liu Kang are real people. In our world they're fictional characters. "Their vision" is the devs vision. And they decided it was a good idea two totally needlessly change the gender of yet again male characters. Why never female to male? Why? WHY?!! ANSWER ME GOD DAMNIT !!!
No shortage of female characters already. It's becoming a lazy way of character development and it's probably not done because they think fans are gonna love it. They are aware that some people find it tiresome and can just pull out the misogyny accusations if complaining gets too loud. I'm 50 and remember them rolling mk into the arcade while I was playing Street Fighter 2 and I've invested a lot of time in the franchise over the years. This is one of those things that makes me sigh, shrug, and keep playing.
I remember back in the day before everyone started yelling about "DEI", if a gender swapped version of a popular character popped up, people just declared Rule #63 was in action and wondered when Rule #34 would be in effect.
Ed Boon changing Cyrax and Sektor to female always felt like a troll. Considering that the community has been being asking for more female fighter and asking for the cyborgs for years, Boon just combined both ideas.
@@dokuganryu1565 the gender swapping makes sense cause Mk1 is lui kang’s era , we already have cyrax and sektor as kameos too. Kuai ling is scorpion now not hanzo , people should complain about this swapping. Mileena is not more a hybrid clone ( tarkatan and kitana dna).
I honestly really do miss having female outfits on the same level as M9 or before. MK X had a few decent ones but the lack of having these types of optional fits really started to go downhill when MK 11 hit where you can literally see the injection of the crap they've been pushing lately. The gender swaps are horrendous and an abomination to the lore even in the new time line. Im sorry, but but the hell did they just do?? Sektors face looks like a neanderthal lol. Dont understand why for an M rated game they have to drastically tone down the female fits?? At least SF 6 has stayed true to their designs of what fans are accustomed to. I remember one of fhe MK11 devs arguments was being how wearing such fits wouldnt be practable in a real fight... Like what??? This is a VIDEO GAME. This is MORTAL KOMBAT with over the top blood and gore and crazy fatalities. Makes NO SENSE other than they're pushing their agenda runing games that could be phenomenal. Ok, so how about let's at least meet half way where they can put out designs of characters with 10 layers of clothing (must be best to use those fits on desert stages) but ALSO give us some optional bad ass sexy fits too! Why would that be so hard to do? Its a win win. Therr are some AWESOME fits currently in ML1 that i AM loving, but come on, lets see some proper throw backs (and i mean proper!) and/or some sexy new ones. So many fits with dudes wirh their shirts off, lets see some more love and skin to the female skins! I do not like the randomizer for skins, please being back the ability to do custom presets like you could in M11, at least 3 or 4. Dont like my fits randomized. Theres so many of them know l, i want to be able to choose the gear i think looks coolest matching together and have that available as a preset. Its SO annoying having to change a skin up every single time i want to switch to "this' skin with this "mask". In summary: 1: bring proper sexy skins back for females. Change Smokes and Raidens voice to something more masculine and intimidating like sub-zero currently has. 2: Add character skin/gear presets (at least 3 or 4) to choose from during character selection screen. 3: I'm actually enjoying some parts of the invasions, theres some really awesome and fun boss battles and some of the moves they do thst currently arent available in the charcters move set are awesome! Wish these types of moves could be somehow obtainable. 3. Bring back the Krypt! Can still jeep invasions if need be, but bring back the krypt! I LOVED MK11's krypt, it was so fun and so good! Goros lair was so cool! 4. We desperately NEED a pit stage. This should ALWAYS be a staple with MK and has been absent since MK11. 5. Stage fatalities need to make a big comeback. PROPER stage fatalities. Cant think of the name for the desert stage in MK11 with that big missle launcher machine that would move its turret around from time to time, but man when i first played on that stage I thought for sure this would be one of those for having secret stage fatality, but NOPE! That stage with that huge beast in the cage too. SMH, missed opportunities. So lets please have stage fatalities! Knock someone off the cliff of Jonny Cages mansion, drown them in his pool, electrocute them in the pool.. something cool and creative guys! 6. There's a good handful of fatalities that are bland, boring, and lacking on substance and character. Dont get me wrong, there are quite i few i absolutely LOVE, but some others you can clearly tell are lacking and could use more polish. 7. Reverse the gender swap. 8. DLC wish: I'd love to see ShoNuff!
Technically there's no such thing as race. We're all part of the human species. There is no scientific term nor distinction between us all beyond that. The idea of "race" is a social construct. Just like how "vegetable" is a culinary term, not a botanical one.

Can you pin me and im Excited for Kombat Pack 2 and I'm Excited for Mortal kombat Khoas Reigns Because Mortal Kombat 1 is Boring now because it was Here Since 2023 Bro and What is your favorite DLC Character in Mortal Kombat Khoas Reigns Bro
The reason why we have all the gay characters and trans and LBGT pallet swaps etc. Is because they have that trans gender man "Stephanie" on the team. He's on every kombat kast dressed as a lady it's obvious it's a man. So due too that the team likes too kiss his ass just too make themselves seem "woke" reason is because everyone is too afraid too stand up against the trans and gay man on the team.... Therefore we all suffer just too make "Stephanie" feel included.... They should of laid him off instead of the mobile team... #FINISH HIM!!!
Your intro gives Skyrim vibes
I don't mind the changes to Sektor and Cyrax. I will say that I like lady Cyrax game play better in Mortal Kombat 1 then Cyrax in previous Mortal Kombat games mainly because of her athleticism combined with possible dance moves in her fighting while using the bombs, net, and I think it is some kind of foam when she stops the opponent from moving. Lady Sector should her game play come out it might be as good as lady Cyrax and if I could say one thing wrong about lady Sector is that she does not look as good looking as Cyrax.
Felt a lil racist
Mortal Kombat already has a bunch of great female characters They did not need to do this
They should’ve just brought back more female characters instead of making this horrendous decision .
And ruin them too? Heck nah.
Exactly. I agree there are less ladies in this game but they do this before bringing back Sonya, Jade and Scarlet. Silly
But ruining male characters crates more controversy and is more woke
Like where is Slime?the ninja turned cybernetic ninja in the fandom mods of mk trilogy?they can literally make newer cooler characters but instead do this
MK1: Struggling to survive
SF6: Brings back M.Bison and puts Terry Bogard in the game
Tekken 8: Just Minding its own business
Yet MK1 is outselling both
@@fluffly8935 its mk of course it will
@@ReeledTiedthought it was struggling to survive though, in that case than tekken and SF must be dead

Hopefully it's just a codename. Or retconned by the time 13 comes along.

@spartangaming1159 if you are true fan of the cyborgs then you do care because that's not them and there's no reason to change their genders. If no one should care then why change it ? Someone in NRS thought it was necessary
Man I don't understand why they changed the gender of iconic characters who've been in the series since Mortal Kombat three instead of choosing from the long list of unused female characters if you really need them
I know . They did such an idiotic move gender swapping the cyborgs.
@@aryelrosa4829and also they don’t even seem like cyborgs anymore. They just look like regular girls wearing an iron man suit.
Yea this is why I find it extremely lazy.
I don't think the point was to add female characters. The point was to change the gender because is the woke thing to do. Talk about not knowing your audience.
@@geo112994 yeah I think they wanted to do that because of some stupid diversity bullshit. But like literally nobody asked for this and no one wanted this
My problem isnt the characters, its the soulless nature of the game. Also the lack of content
The gameplay in mkxl was right on. We need the good solid gameplay and the run button back
I dint buy this mk generation because it look exactly the same as mk 11 but more boring

Bro, Jade would get turned ugly, basic, and black, Sheeva will become even more of a feminist than in MK11, and Frost would probably be a lesbian or something😂.
How am I the only one that was disappointed with the change of scorpion not being Hanzo Hasashi from the beginningof the game?
You aren't the only one. That was literally the final nail in the coffin for me with this franchise. I refused to buy this game because of that and I'm done with MK unless someone who genuinely cares about the original timeline (and the fans) makes some changes at NRS.
It's not the only reason... there have been so many reaons since WB bought the franchise.... it's been going downhill since then. I could give a long list of things wrong with it now. But ruining Scorpion and Sub-Zero was the final straw.
It was literally the biggest complaint people had when the game first came out with that "New era" bullshit**.
Same, he was my main 😢
they fucking killed hanzo and community swallowed it. "scorpion is still in the game" sure thing. I hate new eea
It's why I didn't buy the game
Both Mortal Kombat and Suicide Squad are owned by WB. What a coincidence!
About MK1 Cyrax showing face thing, this character also had a alternate costume with face shown in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.
Cyrax regained his soul in MK4 thanks to Jax and Sonya. In DA he was working directly for the OWIA under Jax. Showing his face was a way to show he'd regained his humanity, since being turned into cyborgs was a tragedy. It was the catalyst for Sub-Zero (Kuai Liang) turning against the Lin Kuei and destroying the clan, only to rebuild it for good. While Sektor (the son of the original Lin Kuei Grandmaster) constantly fought to take back the Lin Kuei from Sub-Zero.
Now, none of that is present. There seems to be no drawbacks from being cyberised. They're just Iron-Man suits from the looks of things and they emote all over the place showing they still have thoughts, feelings and souls. The Lin Kuei still exists while Kuai Liang left to establish the Shirai-Ryu. Bi Han and Kuai Liang were the sons of the Grandmaster, not Sektor.
Basically, everything about the characters and the journeys they went through has been completely undermined. Just like everything else about MK and all the characters in it.
@EndoScorpion this is a reboot and new time line. New origins and new character back stories. We have no idea what will happen in the future for these new characters and their story arcs
@@kaigen999 Exactly... it's a reboot. Which means everything that happened, and all the things the characters went through, and all the reasons why we fell in love with these characters.... it's all been undermined and thrown out the window.
They might as well not even use the names any more. They're not the same characters. NRS might as well just call them something else. Heck, at this point they might as well call the series something else because it's unrecognisable.
@@EndoScorpion being a bit over dramatic. The story ended now they are telling a new one with these characters with a new start. And new twists and moments. They did the same thing with MK9 and beyond and changed everything and now we get our second reboot and story.
@@kaigen999 The story didn't end, they just rebooted it. But then fked it up so bad they were forced to reboot it again. They'd start new story threads and new interesting character arcs only to reboot or just completely ignore that potential arc. They wasted SOOooo much potential. Sometimes even twice.
We're not getting anything new either. Not since WB took over. MK2011 was MK1-3. MKX was MK4. While MK11 was Armageddon, before M1K did Deadly Alliance + Armageddon again.
It's the same stuff but worse. They've merge characters, swapped characters, or just outright ignored characters, and that's not even including the gender-swaps. The only new concept they've added was multiverse crap, but it's not a new or interesting concept by any stretch. None of it has been since MKvsDC.
And it's not really over-dramatic when this crap has been going on for 13 years, across 4 games (6 if you include the unoriginal Injustice games too). I've put up with it way too long, and they outright ruined one of my all-time favourite franchises in the process.
I remember that bikini thing years ago. “You’d never show up to a fight in a bikini” You know what else you’d never show up to a fight wearing? Giant stiletto heels, even D’vorah has heels in MK 11.
Cammy fights and kills ppl in a leotard so what's NRS gotta say to that
I think it has to do with “presentation” Cammy is cute ….. but objectively speaking the MK “bikini era” has them looking like cartoonishly tacky, vulgar strippers…. Something not present in the original 3 games….
@alejandromolinac in other words, they looked cool

I'm fine with new character that could be every minority mashed into one but stop trying to change our beloved characters into something they never were. Especially after waiting 6 frickin years to play them
6 years?? They technically haven’t been playable since MK9. 13 years!
Different timeline
Imagine the outrage if they gender swapped Mileena, her fans would probably try to perform a fatality on Ed Boon irl
Honestly this is the least of the problems that MK1 has... For example balance, bugs, bad monetization, bad alternative gameplay, bad fan service , just a bad product , gameplay is fun yeah... with some friends for the lulz , but not for going tryhard or competitive ..
It still angers me a little that they didn’t just make them brand new characters of the Lin Kuei and keep the original Sektor and Cyrax 🤦🏽♂️
Cyrax and sektor as women is an absolutely trash idea. I don’t care what anyone thinks about it that’s just my opinion, not buying the expansion. I’m sure there will be people that enjoy it
It's absolutely trash but the creators say that this era that Liu Kang created it's like a mirror version of mk11 you see.. and if so why not all male to became female and all the way around,, well they thought that it would work out but it didn't really.
Agreed. Deleted the game. Enough pissing on the fans
I agree with you. I will buy only Noob Saibot, they have already received too much money from me for this unfinished, cartoony game. RIP MK
The gender swapping thing dont even be the biggest issue for me. Its the fact that they think we're stupid enough to just take that concept at face value. "look we gave cyrax a vagina, give us applause, isnt that interesting?" No, build upon that concept, have that impact their story in some huge, super interesting way if your gonna go this root. JUST gender swapping is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Its like I could get behind it, if writers in these different media companies made it interesting, but often they just shill out boring, lazy slop.
If you buy it, then you're supporting it. Simple as that. I will NOT be paying for gender swapped versions of 2 of my favorite characters, and more people should vote with their wallets or this will continue to happen! The ONLY reason why they did it was to force that DEI agenda on everyone! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
My biggest issue with NetherRealm deciding to make Cyrax and Sektor women is how they're disrespecting the original cyborg ninjas. Did you know that the last official time Cyrax and Sektor were playable in a Mortal Kombat game was in MK9? After this one game, the two have never been playable since. And no, Triborg from MKX doesn't count as he's his own separate entity that was created from the remains of the Cyber Lin Kuei, including the remains of dismantled/destroyed Cyrax and Sektor. And even then, there's debate on whether or not Triborg was even canon in the MKX story. And then, in MK11, where the two were reduced to being nothing but nonplayable jobbers that the Kombatants occasionally fight in that game's Story Mode. And now MK1 shows up, and NetherRealm decides to give the original Cyrax and Sektor the ultimate slap in the face by creating these new characters that outright steal the names of the original cyborg ninjas.
tell that to the braindead rxtxrded zombies oops I mean "modern audience"
They’re disrespecting every character.
@xavierhouston4650 Even Johnny Cage? Cause he seems to be overall the same as he was in the previous timeline, minus the green energy. Sindel was overall better than that STUPID retcon in MK11. Reptile and Baraka are no longer jobbers as we've seen them acquire onscreen victories. And Kitana has an overall better relationship with Mileena than she ever had in previous timelines.

Replacing Hanzo with Kuai and combining their conflicts with Bi han, would be like replacing Kabal with Sonya (Sonya the new Kabal) and combining the Kano conflicts.
So, Sonya (codenamed "Kabal") was Black Dragon but Kano killed her brother so she left to join special forces and aimed to take down the Black Dragon, but was born with speed powers and breathing problems, but never had an accident or got burnt. Then she bangs the original Kabal's wife too, and they adopt the original Kabal who is a little child (I know he's not married but the Harumi stuff with Kuai is just sickening).

A timeless mk will never exist again. It feels and looks like a tacky free to play game. On top of that the whole theme and mysticism is completely dead and replaced with multiverse slop.
Fully agreed. There's no more set lore with the mutliversal non sense. When there's no real lore or stakes to the conflicts, nothing really matters.
You definitely don't play if you think it feels any different than every other AAA NRS game. The gameplay is actually a lot busier than MK11 lol this one is so mf weird complex if you play fighting games. The characters are so well-rounded by any standard.

These are business decisions to try and expand the player base and make the brand appear modern. As with the marvel comics (at least, when they first started doing gender swaps), these are mostly publicity stunts, and sometimes they have a genuine creative impulse behind them. But you do this over and over, it's just a cheap trick.

I personally don't mind the change. Reason being is that the mental image of Liu Kang saying "Ah Cyrax, my old friend... I'm going to make you into a big booty queen" to himself while remaking the universe is hilarious to me.
The idea that female Cyrax and Sektor are just the result of Liu Kang using his godly powers to realise his rule 63 fetish is so fucking funny I can't help but get on board.

@@Mr.GalaxyYT Liu Kang isn't very good at this sort of thing, apparently.
The game is a absolute flop, the cameo mechanics are dumb, Jax, Sonya, and Kano not being playable is dumb, gender swaps are dumb for mk fans anticipated their favorite characters to return and have them change the gender wtf! Especially if the characters wasn’t in the previous mk games. The only good thing mk did was restart the mk timeline to come up with new ideas and direction in the mk stories. Just disappointing smh 🤦🏾♂️
I think this is my second favorite mortal kombat since the side characters like reptile are being more than just characters to beat in the story mode and I personally don’t mind the gender swap of cirax and sektor since their suits look cool and cirax gameplay looks fun
I said the same thing about Kuai Liang being scorpion and ppl said I was overreacting or “it’s a new universe.” Two of my favorite characters are now gone and it keeps happening mostly to the Lin Kuei.
Hopefully this mess will be put to an end soon enough. If this will keep going like this, the mortal kombat will just straight up die all together :/
"Gameplay first"? That means you don't see the game characters as characters. You see play styles that can be put in any avatar. Which means you don't care if Baraka has Sub-Zero's playstyle or if they make Liu Kang or Shao Kahn women. You don't care about a character's identity and story and trademarks. Am I correct?
Doesn't matter if Sweet Baby Inc was involved or not. Whatever NRS is doing, is destroying the MK identity and it feels like their characters and story never goes anywhere with all the reboots and re-imaginings.
I mean im pretty indifferent on the gender swap. The cyber ninjas are some of my favorite characters but this gender swap doesnt actually matter when you think about the context, Boraicho got gender swapped, nightwolf almost did too and that probably would have been a huge improvement. Give me some sick costumes and maybe a classic skin with male grunts instead of female ones. I think the thing that people may not realize is that netherealm was trying to bring back fan favorites while increasing the female count in the game. i wonder how these "fans" would feel if netherealm had skipped cyrax and sektor and brought back kira and devorra instead.
just a reminder that nightwolf is a title passed among people, not the character itself, the old timeline nightwolf was actually called gray cluod
I haven’t played any females ( apart from the story ) but they’ll be the only females I play
“Probably would have been a huge improvement”
Are you even listening to what you are saying? How exactly? How is changing a character's gender an improvement regarding the story and gameplay?
It literally serves no purpose other than to cause unnecessary controversy.
I don't like that they slowed down the gameplay, the gameplay of mk10 and 11 was the best
slowed down?? do you even play MK1? Mk1 has the perfect speed. Much better than 10 or 11 imo.
@djdeadly246 nah,mk11 mk10 tekken8-7,dragonballfz and street figher they have the best speed
@@xpowsimo8560 btw MK11 speed is very similar to MK1, MK10 as well. No need to mention other games than MK. Those other games are different. btw the 'speed thing' is all in the head. Also bear in mind, having a kameo character doing a bunch of moves the same time as the main character (in most cases) kinda trick the games into thinking the game is faster or slower.
@djdeadly246 that is factually wrong. The speed in Mk10 is faster that of Mk11 or Mk1.
I'm glad you said this. I think many of the bigger MK streamers are afraid to express opinions against gender swapped characters over fears of being called bigoted or sexist. Fans can see through what they're doing because it's been happening and they would never gender swap a female into a male character. This would be like if the MCU finally made another blade movie, but made him a female. Sure, it may not effect the story, but it's not the character the fans wanted. It's also blatantly unnecessary because MK is already one of the most diverse IPs out there.
Ive been playing MK since the release of the original in the arcades back in the day. Ive played every game except the Special Forces game. Im a big fan.
I really don't like their decision of the Gender swap. I will continue to play however.
I am aslo glad it's getting the push back. Fans voices need to be heard and Netherrealm needs to listen.
Sure its their game to make but its our game to play. We need each other for the franchise to survive.
I hope future decisions will consist of wiser choices.
From what I can understand, nobody but Liu Kang is the actual same character from the previous games. We are Butterfly Effecting here. So both versions still exist.
Its not about showing their face. Once they become cyborg they have no face.
MK1 should’ve just brought back Jackie/Cassie Cage and called it a damn day. Yet, someone thought it’ll be a grand idea to gender swap TWO ninja cyborgs it’s just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever also their mask looks fucking ridiculous smh.
Despite the many flaws the game has I know this game still has potential I hope that the game doesn’t get cancelled or shut down because I want them to learn from their mistakes and that this game can and should be better.
Krap Reigns is the worst DLC in the history of fighting games, certified fact. Regardless of one's stance, it's undeniable how divisive this DLC is.
They should make everybody in the game women make it as woke as possible it’ll sell like hot cakes mk2 needs to be a whole women cast
I think I saw the video you are talking about and I had the same feelings. They complained that Cyrax is now black and that's bad because Lin Kuei are Chinese, but Cyrax was always from Africa, as far as MKIV confirmed it (dunno if it was mentioned in MK3 or Trilogy).
No one complains that Cyrax is black. Everyone knows he was black
I truly don't fucking care if Cyrax and Sektor are women now. Complete juveniles who are complaining hate changes. As long as they play as their previous versions, I'm ok with it
Never saw Cyrax and Sektor as mainstay front runners, they’ve always been secondary pallete swaps not Sub-Zero/Scorpion or Liu/Raiden/Cage/etc. Replacing Scorpion’s Hanzo identity with Kuai Lang’s is an offense with far more validity as it partially ruins both of the mainstays, essentially replacing Scorpion’s character with Sub-Zero’s. I don’t mind diversity inclusions for secondary characters, it’s like Domino being black in Deadpool 2, nobody cares cause she’s never been a front runner. Also from the trailers, Cyrax and Sektor have never been this well developed before so. Bi-Han’s characterization from how he was in his standalone game to this garbage is far worse.
It’s amazing… yall really listen to anything anyone says lol. MK1 sells like hot cakes and someone has the nerve to say it’s a bad business decision lol. It’s got so bad that now we talking about the opinions of people that don’t even play MK.. it’s sickening.
lol agreed
Exactly
Check the sales compared to mk11
@@jeffpaez1997 1) your comparing a game that’s well past its lifecycle to a game that’s still very much in its lifecycle lol. 2) don’t compare a consumer market issue with a game issue.

@@loulou704 ok fanboy
Nrs drank the sweet baby ink poison on their own accord. Truly a sad day.
Well NRS's mother corporation is WB Discovery which also owns Rocksteady with Suicide Flop
I know I'm not deeply ingrained in the Mortal Kombat community, but I find it strange that people are getting so upset over this decision. Whether NRS was pressured to change Cyrax and Sektor's gender or chose to do it on their own, why does it matter so much? From my perspective, Mortal Kombat 1 has been a complete reimagining of the entire series. Not every character behaves the same way they used to, and some changes are bound to be significant. NRS has ensured that the characters in MK1 still play like their previous versions, even if their backstory or context has shifted. As long as Cyrax and Sektor play just like you'd expect them to, does it really matter if their gender is different?
If someone could explain why this is such a big deal, I'd appreciate it, because from my point of view, it seems like people are upset over nothing.
It's more of a "We're sick to death of this shit" kinda thing. The Comics Gate thing he talked about at the start is a good way to explain it. All the characters you know and love get race or gender swapped for diversity points and ESG reasons. It's happened so much, so often in the last couple of years that people are sick to death of it and being called toxic or misogynistic or some kind of phobic if their sexuality is a big part of the random change....like how DC made one of the Robins randomly bisexual for no other reason than diversity even though that character in all previous comics had been completely straight with not a hint of bisexual leanings at all. The big issue with the female Sektor and Cyrax is taking the characters names, two very popular characters among fans mind you, and giving them to these gender flipped versions when they could have been new characters with new names connected to Sektor and Cyrax like the skit at the start...it just feels hollow and done for the sake of ESG and Diversity quotas.
In-universe, this doesn’t make sense. How does turning them into women contribute to peace and a second chance? Cyrax wanted his humanity back and got repaid with turning into a woman and living through a SIMILAR Cyber Initiative AGAIN.
Also, most people want to play as THE character not another version of that same character, unless it’s a cool change.
This kind of thinking is exactly why mk is unrecognizable
Did you guys actually play the game? 😂 I'm not being all that serious and yet, I kinda am. The story mode of this game ends with multiple universes controlled by each original MK character with their own roster of MK characters that are all copies of each other. There were gender swapped characters in the finale. That means cyrax and sektor are gender swapped characters in Liu Kang's universe... and their male counterparts are in other universes. This is a freakin game in which netherrealm created free reign for themselves to present any type or version of these characters they wished and it makes sense in story.
Not to mention almost none of these characters are recognizable to their previous game counterparts. As in none of them have their back stories, motivations, dispositions or even any knowledge of their previous selves except liu. And we were fine with that. We were fine with Raiden being FUNDAMENTALLY changed for this game... We were fine with Kenchi's blinding coming from mileena. We're fine with the aged up version of Johnny Cage... We're fine with a good not so murderous mileena... We're fine to kitana being virtually a sideline character the entire story... But you take a dick off a robot and we riot!
Most reasonable person in this comment section
6:12 bro, that is an extremely disingenuous take. WTF are you talking about?? In MK 9, the only reason sektor and cyrax showed their faces was because they weren't cyborgs yet. It showed an origin story of how they were before they became cyborgs. The Commentary channels are absolutely correct. And it shows that they are actual fans of MK. You just want to play the "both sides are wrong" card 😒. Stop it. It was a WOKE decision.
No one cares if Cryax is African. And the reason why people thought cyrax was African American because they never had an African actor voice cyrax. He had an AFRICAN AMERICAN accent, NOT an African accent. I would know because I'm actually African. And I won't play or buy just to prove a point.
We want konquest mode with the same gameplay as mk shaolin monks.
They should’ve add Lobby in Mortal Kombat 1
Honestly I find it ridiculous for people to make a f-ing big deal about gentrifying characters like Cyrax & Sektor when most of the characters in MK1 have been structurally also change as well in other certain aspects about them given this new timeline era.
1. Certain occupational roles - Scorpion is now Kuai Liang instead Hanzo and is also not a spectre/demon of the Netherealm. As well as Rain who is a high mage wizard and not god or son of Argus.
2. Alignment of Characters - For like Mileena, Reptile, Baraka, Tanya are no coherently evil and don't serve under Shang Tsung or Shao who is also not Khan in this timeline.
3. Family members are now different - Such as Mileena & Kitana also Scorpion & Sub-Zero that are canonically sisters & brothers. Takeda is Kenshi's cousin and not son and Raiden who's has a sister that is also possibily gentrify as Fujin.
And I don't even want to start on the fact of race swapping when clearly Rain who has gone through multiple MK games with a different skin tone change. Seriously look up on all of Rain's evolution from MK3 to now where he varies to white & dark skin and no one makes a BS complaints about that. So why even make a complaint about any of that now just for the sake of making an arguments!?
I'm more than fine with having just only being Sektor & Cyrax being female as long their is compelling story for them and interesting roles, especially going of their bio which is more than what the original ketchup & mustard had for their lore.
And let me just end this by saying that MK1 is not in the same trenches as other games like Suicide Squad where that game is much deserve hate for. The game has sold over 4 million copies worldwide over and despite major hiccups with the games netcode, and other stuff it's trying to turn for the better like how SF5 did when it initially release and is now in a better spot..

NRS didnt even give enough screen time for much character development anyone for this to be bad, they mk9 had 2 chapters of character development then just became mindless javas for the rest of the game, mkx they were only used for plot and dlc but got nerfed and become mid, mk11they came back for 2 different chapters just to die right away with cyrax getting maybe 3 minutes of more development, then dies again. so far in the trailers theyre gonna have more screen time for more development now, and its promising it looks like. why is no one complaining about changes for theyre favorite characters like luiraiden, reptile, baraka, mileena, kitana ect, some bad guys being good now. at this point people will hate anything mk1 puts out because of the trend, if all the pro players say they like the change, people will do a 180 switch up like they they do on the opions of how good a character comp wise.

The only reason I see as acceptable for a character change is if it makes sense story-wise. So, I expect an in-game explanation of why this change happened. It doesn't have to be some big thing: maybe Liu Kang changed them because he knows something will happen later, maybe he did it thinking that as women they have less chances of supporting Bi-Han's plan or being of use to him for whatever reason, or simply have them be the Sector and Cyrax fron titan Havic's world, where there is practically no need for an explanation -Havic is chaotic, so he my do things just because. But I expect a reason for the change. If their part could be played exactly the same by their original counterparts, then why change them at all?

People literally need to learn how to accept change but I can understand the argument also at the same time it’s there IP they can do whatever they want plus if they were new ninjas they would just be compared to Secktor and Cyrax anyway

@aryelrosa4829 ok well that's how you and others feel
It seems that older gamers like myself that remember mk arriving in the arcade find this more annoying. When you follow a franchise that long you expect changes, but the whole gender swap thing is unnecessary in a game with a ton of strong female characters. It just gets tiresome because it's obvious it's not done for fans, it's at this point almost like being nagged by people who want to make you look like a misogynist because you don't like characters you've enjoyed forever getting the swap. It's not creative, interesting, or in any way improving mk. It's lazy, done to death, and I almost expect it at this point.
Don't understand the hate. Its Liu Kangs Timeline, and they are made in his vision, and of course its different from Kronikas vision. People need to stop crying
In your world Kronika and Liu Kang are real people. In our world they're fictional characters. "Their vision" is the devs vision. And they decided it was a good idea two totally needlessly change the gender of yet again male characters. Why never female to male? Why? WHY?!! ANSWER ME GOD DAMNIT !!!

This is one of those things that makes me sigh, shrug, and keep playing.

I honestly really do miss having female outfits on the same level as M9 or before. MK X had a few decent ones but the lack of having these types of optional fits really started to go downhill when MK 11 hit where you can literally see the injection of the crap they've been pushing lately. The gender swaps are horrendous and an abomination to the lore even in the new time line. Im sorry, but but the hell did they just do?? Sektors face looks like a neanderthal lol.
Dont understand why for an M rated game they have to drastically tone down the female fits?? At least SF 6 has stayed true to their designs of what fans are accustomed to.
I remember one of fhe MK11 devs arguments was being how wearing such fits wouldnt be practable in a real fight... Like what??? This is a VIDEO GAME. This is MORTAL KOMBAT with over the top blood and gore and crazy fatalities. Makes NO SENSE other than they're pushing their agenda runing games that could be phenomenal. Ok, so how about let's at least meet half way where they can put out designs of characters with 10 layers of clothing (must be best to use those fits on desert stages) but ALSO give us some optional bad ass sexy fits too! Why would that be so hard to do? Its a win win.
Therr are some AWESOME fits currently in ML1 that i AM loving, but come on, lets see some proper throw backs (and i mean proper!) and/or some sexy new ones. So many fits with dudes wirh their shirts off, lets see some more love and skin to the female skins!
I do not like the randomizer for skins, please being back the ability to do custom presets like you could in M11, at least 3 or 4. Dont like my fits randomized. Theres so many of them know l, i want to be able to choose the gear i think looks coolest matching together and have that available as a preset. Its SO annoying having to change a skin up every single time i want to switch to "this' skin with this "mask".
In summary:
1: bring proper sexy skins back for females. Change Smokes and Raidens voice to something more masculine and intimidating like sub-zero currently has.
2: Add character skin/gear presets (at least 3 or 4) to choose from during character selection screen. 3: I'm actually enjoying some parts of the invasions, theres some really awesome and fun boss battles and some of the moves they do thst currently arent available in the charcters move set are awesome! Wish these types of moves could be somehow obtainable.
3. Bring back the Krypt! Can still jeep invasions if need be, but bring back the krypt! I LOVED MK11's krypt, it was so fun and so good! Goros lair was so cool!
4. We desperately NEED a pit stage. This should ALWAYS be a staple with MK and has been absent since MK11.
5. Stage fatalities need to make a big comeback. PROPER stage fatalities. Cant think of the name for the desert stage in MK11 with that big missle launcher machine that would move its turret around from time to time, but man when i first played on that stage I thought for sure this would be one of those for having secret stage fatality, but NOPE! That stage with that huge beast in the cage too. SMH, missed opportunities. So lets please have stage fatalities! Knock someone off the cliff of Jonny Cages mansion, drown them in his pool, electrocute them in the pool.. something cool and creative guys!
