To the uninitiated, Mortal Kombat X is full of entirely new playstyles and gameplans thanks to the variation system.
However, MKX features many variations that are subtle nods, other times completely inspired by previous incarnations of MK characters across the decades.
Join Ketchup as he guides us through the variations of MKX that were inspired directly from historical characters in previous games.

good takes on shinnok... i have subscribed...
If you play xbox Id show you some things you might find interesting with shinnok and warlock quan chi...
I played Kenjutsy Kenshi mostly because of the 3D era vibes!
Also, I think Jade is really split between Mournful Kitana and Naginata pogo Tanya, many of her animations look like MK9 Jade attacks.
PNDK&M Wassup Ryan? Good vid bro! I said Displacer Raiden looked exactly like MK9 Raiden back when he was 1st shown at EVO 2014!
I believe dragon claws Goro is deserved his place here too, it was also a weapon style in 3d era games if I remember it right
A very good point and definitely something I should have listed!
AGHHHHH
It became crucial to be subscribed on this channel if u wanna know about MK universe. wonderful Job Bros.
That's why I just subscribed lol
I am always so hyped when I see you uploaded ! Looking forward to alot of great kontent
Love the nostalgia and knowledge you always showcase. I've been absent from MK but was able to play MK 9 and X but never took it to the levels I've seen it played at!! I am now ready for Mk 11 as I've done rather well in injustice 2
We sometimes forget we've been playing Mortal Kombat for a lifetime.
@heart of chaos I think regardless of the levels we can reach. I strongly believe once you have learnt character to the point he becomes the extension of you it will come natural to us on How to act in the midst of battle. Im looking forward to Mk11 as I'm really going to apply myself and take it serious but have fun with it also
@PNDK&M thank you for reply. Dont get me wrong guys I've had the opportunity to see Mk1 burst onto the scene my fave is Mk2 with strongly behind it just wish life wasn't so busy so I could enjoy it properly. I have watched your videos listened to both of your side words I feel confident with close eye to your channel Mk11 should be a good New era for me
@heart of chaos what console you playing on
Good analysis!
Cyrax Triborg is actually MK9 Cyrax believe it or not
WHAAAAAAAAAAAT? THIS CHANGED MY LIFE!!!!!
Hear me out
What if
The blue one is cyber subzero
@@tbone2416 I CAN’T BELIBE THOS1!1!1!
D: what da heck
I’m literally so happy to see your channel growing like this
As long as you guys keep enjoying the content, we'll keep making it!
If Mileena is not returning in mk11 I will be so sad, that I have to create a Mournful Baraka variation. 😢
WIth flesh Pit costume.
Perhaps call it Ambitious (I honestly expect her in DLC tho)
And Mournful Tanya. We all know they had something going on. Baraka was just Mileena's side piece.
She died😢 .
Haha yeah that’d suck.
Kenjutsu Kenshi is Deadly alliance Kenshi with all his telekinetic moves 👌
Amazing video btw, always love to see a new video from you guys. Greetings from México 🙋♂️
keeping the classic and adding new stuff is the best way to make a game
It took me this long to realize that balanced kenshi was an inside joke about how broken mk9 kenshi was
Quality MK content. Keep it up!
Honestly please keep putting these put, I'd imagine there are a lot of new players, including myself
On it 😜
I haven't touched an MK game in ages but these videos are still really interesting to watch. Keep up with the great content!
I only recently got into MKX and it's so much fun.
I like Hellfire Scorpion as he partially reminds me of MK1 Scorpion, so I adjusted to that one better hahah.
I discovered your videos while searching for more detailed info on MK11 (which I plan to play competitively, SF player here) and I'm so glad I found your channel! So much interesting details on older MK titles and I specifically love the variation system.
Love your content!
Surprised that Ailien's Tarkatan didn't make the cut. That thing was pretty much Baraka without the Blade Spark and with some weird tail flicks in its place.
3:53 this is a violation of human rights
Gstar is a god
A big MESS and a disgrace
I’ve graced the presence of this channel every day hoping to embrace a new video... My Ghawd.... I’m so lit right now
Truly loved this video, and the thumbnail as well, I love Shinnok in MKX
As a sub zero main I loved the variations I had his old school umk3 version but with better offense, a 50/50 damage machine that morphed into someone people didn't even want to block b/c of tic throws, and a super defensive one that was the only person with an one bar armored launcher (ice armor + ex slide) after the big armored launcher nerf.
Ermac's back 2 was a fun feature in MK9 and MKX mystic variation. In MK9 I found it more as a fake out tool and combo filler move. Its harder in MKX because of all the buttons you gotta press. Also Johnny's A-List variation (another legacy variation) seemed to have a more significant advantage over Ermac's mystic which had both charge moves that could be dash cancelled into other stuff.
I never played too much scorpion in injustice but from looking hellfire combos in mkx gives me the idea they play similarly
Shinnok's base move set should've been more skeleton hand based instead of being restricted to one variation
haven't watched yet but i already love it
Such an Interesting Video!
Always love this videos.
I find it funny there were obvious variations. Cryo sub, full offensive with ice weapons (and its braind repeat combo), grandmaster sub with the iceclone. And in many cases, the 3rd, forgotten variation held the most combo potential. WIth the added bonus of enemies having no clue what they do and how they work.
Most characters had an obscure variation that was still buckets of fun.
That's why I'll always love this game's variation system.
RIP Sub-Zero's ice clone.
I think a problem of that parasitic special is Subzero being one of the favourites having it.
I think they should try the special on another character.
@@lexless9301 You can apply that logic to any character including Scorpion's chain or teleport. "I think a problem of that parasitic special is Scorpion being one of the favorites having it. I think they should try the special on another character." Sub-Zero is KNOWN for having that as an ability. The removal of it makes him LESS of a character.
InB4 Bi Han is confirmed for MK11, *and* gets the clone.
IcedVenom Nightcore Exactly but you are going to have those one that say “ it’s fine it doesn’t hurt his design of a character.”
Kenjutsu Kenshi is influenced by 3d era as well - I think he was in DA + Deception + Armageddon - where he had two telekinesis moves.
I want the mkx variations. Give us doom slayer and 3 variations for him
I always thought NetherRealm could've at least made a Kintaro outfit for Goro, especially after having Tigrar Fury as a variation. Probably would've been too much work for them.
Great video once again guys. God bless! I do hope NRS allow custom variations as a standard in every game mode in MK11. I agree with you both that it would be a missed opportunity if they don't.
Sonya used to have long luscious legs in mk9... What did you think I was gonna say?
I forsee this will be the thumbnail of Competitive history of Shinnok.
Man I love Shinnok so much. I like Bo Rai Cho as well and Tanya.
Great video guys! Keep it up!
I love your guys' content
GREAT VIDEO! You 2 are Awesome!
It is now, very near the release of MK11, that I realize why I gravitate towards most of these variations... And the answer is MK9 similarities.
Another great video!
No more "choose your destiny" videos? We never got Skarlet or Raiden
Ryen Frickey true.
I know we are not many, But I am so hyped for sonya's one.
This is the beuty of Fighting games, each one hace his preferences.
Love the videos i really hope quan chi comes back in mk11
It makes me sad everytime i remember sub zero wont have ice clone in mk11 :(
Haruhi Suzumiya it’s so dumb. It’s a legacy move. Iconic.
I am simple man. I see new K&M video, I click on video, and then I click like button.
Because I know, sooner or later, my brain will force my hand to click the like button. Might as well click it right now so I don't get distracted by the urge of wanting to click that like button :D
I wish Kitana fought like Jade as well. Like, I wish she completely abandoned the fans in her Mournful variant. The projectile invulnerability move would have been nice as well.
And people say quan chi was never used online...
i feel like you missed an opportunity to point out that Hellfire Scorpion borrows his aura ability from Scorpion's appearance as DLC in Injustice 1, which itself could have led to a discussion about how Sub-Zeros and Raidens appearances in MKX influenced their designs in Injustice 2, but this was otherwise a great video
This video series isn't the science of Injustice though :P
Please do a choose your destiny with Sonya and Skarlet!
All hail Lord Shinnok!
Man, MK10 was/is great, honestly. Feels like they nailed the variation system the first time and then messed it up somewhat in MK11, which is why they kinda just let you mix and match however you want now.
great video
If I watched this video sooner, I'd say that Ninjitsu was Scorpion's MK9 variation, only with mixups.
Nice vid!
Dragon Fangs Goro also originated from the 3D games (Unchained and Armageddon) where they were his weapon stance
Will you guys be doing anymore MK 11 Kharacter (sorry had to do it lol) breakdowns? Would love to see one for Raiden if you were able to get enough footage.
Oh yeah yeah , another K&M video !
Wowkoman oh yea yea
in mk4 goro also have kintaro's moveset (though only 1)
Will we see a Choose Your Destiny: Rayden episode come out soon? i hope soo guys, another great video! 🔥
More SCIENCE videos pls!
are you ever gonna do a mkx meta video?
Just make a sequel vid, I'd watch it. Of any more things you've catched on homages.
MK X is too good not to play at least once. Its really fkn good.
rip ice klone
You forgot Alien's Baraka variation. Good vid though.
Are you guys going any more mk11 character videos?
did they predict the mk11 system by accident. the devs did say we could make an older version of a character with the customize character system. just like how you guys in the beginning of the video
What is your favorite Quan variant since the rune trap Nerf?
Still sorcerer. Always.
i clicked the video because it has shinnok on the thumbnail
smoke triborg 😱😱
What about Scorpion? Didn't he use his swords in the 3d games as his weapon movesets and now it has it's own special variation.
Scorpion is different as he used one single sword in the 3d games. He didn't share any animations either.
I personally feel like like 3d scorpions weapon is vastly different from his ninjutsu variation in. Mkx. He also used swords in some strings in MK9.
@@PNDKM I guess you're right
What have we done to deserve this?
Placed 2nd in Nairobi's MKXL tournament, my girl didn't really get y I was so proud.. This video made her brain lag out (Error Macro) .. Love from Kenya
Mk9 on this list a basicly a cop out
Was geras the last choose your destiny?
Didn't Alien have a Baraka variation too?
Dragonify Yh it has chop chop with the leap that is identical to baraka
Sucks that there will always be one variation that literally everyone picks for that character
not true, more than half of the roster have 2 variations that are used pretty evenly.
No more mk11 vids? 😭
No Tarkatan Alien?
We didn't mention Tarkatan Alien because It's in the lore of MKX that Alien has a tarkatan host. So it didn't quite fit into our list. The same way we didn't include anything for triborg even though it's 4 MK characters in one.
PNDK&M right on. And hey- you guys replied to my comment! That’s an honor. Hoping to see at least one of the borgs in MK11- hopefully Cyrax, myself.
No raiden choose your destiny?
mkx gm sub didn't play like mk9 sub though, he was made extremely aggressive, unlike hisnprevious iteration
You could be aggressive with the clone in MKT/UMK3. It varied from game to game.
@@PNDKM I have no experience with the older titles unfortunately.
YEWWWW MK11
Ahhh Subzero ....I dont think so, he seems much weaker in MKX then MK9. Subzero feels incomplete.
Man i just need mk11 stuff. Especially with them cancelling for a whole week 🙄 if they dont reveal a character trailer they are trash. They had to have had it prerendered for the stream and it takes all of 5 mins to preload it
They postponed due to a storm causing a safety risk.
Priorities.
@@PNDKM yall act like it's hard to upload already rendered video before you leave the office mate. Could even do it from home if it's on a harddrive. Not that difficult. What am i saying yall are content creators you know this
@@MrTheTomahawk You do know what a Kombat Cast is, right?
@@PNDKM they stream kharacters and play them right? I believe they typically show the character prerendered footage before they dive into it. I dont see how it hurts to confirm anything with uploading that prerendered footage and then showing off gameplay next week.
Is it me or does sub zero from mk 11 remind you of shredder sub zero ( mk deception sub zero ) many of you might disagree 😂

Well taven should be in mk11
Shut up
Taven in MK11 Agreed. #TavenForMK11

And now... im comparing tom brady with you... lmao xD
Yeet boi
I suck at MK I can only do 29% combos.

Damn that subzy gameplay at the beginning of the vid gets me so pissed of. They trashed subzy after all the patches, so much for me that it destroyed the game for me, as im a legacy subzy main, cryo subzy in mkx. I stopped playing after that armour/stamina change patch.
What did you hate the most about the changes cryo got? Wasn't the safe shatter a really bid deal with him?
My main gripe was that the ice knives got turned into a command grab. Ice knives string wasn't exactly OP compared to the other styles string. I know a lot of pro players preferred the tick throw option, but for me it ruined my years of muscle memory, as well as I cannot get dbf command grabs consistently. Add that to the armour wake up/launch change it destroyed my main for me.
@@PNDKM
Why am I the only person that cringes when this game is referred to as “X” rather than ten?
"legacy"... Just say mk 9 😂
