@GamerThumbTV Although Li Mei's endings in MK:DA and MK: Armageddon are non-canon, these events did occur......in an alternate Midway timeline.

[@livingcorpse5664]

Without a doubt the most shocking thing was that Liu Kang died in the original timeline. Not how he died, that he died at all and it was canon.

[@GamerThumbTV]

Then he was a zombie monster lmao

Gonna be awesome seeing her play a major role in a mk story after being a minor side character from DA to MKX. And even better she is voiced and modeled after one of the legendary martial arts actresses kelly Hu

[@JaxWolf513]

'Deadly Alliance' was a game changer for the franchise. I was 10 years old when it came out and when they killed off Liu Kang, I WAS SALTY! But after beating the game, I understood why. It still holds up to this day. Great video as always, dude.

[@GamerThumbTV]

Thanks for checking it out. And at least we got zombie Liu Kang later.

[@JaxWolf513]

@@GamerThumbTV he was slept on too. Zombie Liu Kang was pretty fun to play with. The same with Revenant Liu Kang from ‘MKX’ & ‘MK11.’

[@gabrielbenitez9257]

Same here, I was 10 when Deadly Alliance came out, hated it when they killed off Liu Kang, but overtime it grew on me and when Zombie Liu Kang came it was okay.

[@Kentrc11]

Cooking with Scorpion? So, that's not an AdultSwim bump? Glorious.

[@comixproviderftw_02]

I’ll be honest, I had no idea that Li Mei was from a previous entry, I completely forgot she was in MKX. I thought she was a whole new character in MK1.

[@GamerThumbTV]

As far as the characters they've revealed so far in MK1 it seems they're all from previous games. No original MK1 playable fighters yet at least.

[@Psycho-Crusher693]

Cooking with Scorpion best unlockable from the krypt too bad he didn't get his own show on the food network

[@GamerThumbTV]

All his meals...are toasty

[@crnlonewolf3195]

Glad she is back in the new mortal kombat and is playable she also one of my video game crushes when i saw in Mortal Kombat Deadly alliance (haha)

[@osirisatot19]

I love that she has "armor" and its just shoulder pads and a battle bikini. I'm glad they were able to take a character like this and reinvent her for 12, I never found her interesting or unique before. Also both Taven's parents are Elder Gods, so how is he a half god?

[@GamerThumbTV]

His mom isn't an Elder God, only Taven's father Argus. His mother Delia is an Edenian sorceress. She's mortal

[@osirisatot19]

@@GamerThumbTV Yeah you're right, I looked it up and made sure. I guess I thought that because she just dresses and acts like one from the little we saw of her; and its been quite a while since I played the Konquest mode of that game.

[@kendonl.taylor5111]

@osirisatot19 I hope NRS will bring Li Mei's Bikini Armor back in Mortal Kombat 1 (reboot).

[@osirisatot19]

@@kendonl.taylor5111 I much prefer the women having practical clothing tbh.

[@chengfu7063]

Five years ago if the arcade scene steel had it and resurfaced it would have been good then a bad move although now in the 2020s it's a good move because of solitude in the comfort of your own home and not having anybody around sometime it's just a good way to enjoy the game and that Liu Kang neck snap is legendary still to this day remember when I saw him again I wasn't shocked I just want to play the game and see how it ran because Charlie Nash suffer the same Fate in the Street fighter verse over and over again until Alpha 3

[@GamerThumbTV]

Here in Central Florida we actually have a decent size arcade scene. Lots of barcades that have been open for a couple of years that have some awesome classics. It's pretty cool

[@the757general2]

Saying every character from MK1-4 fought the same outside of special moves is a common misconception. There were differences in the basic moves such as speed, height, range, and hit detection. For instance, UMK3 Sheeva had the best HK while Liu Kang had the best roundhouse and the female ninajs had the best jabs. MK3's dial-a-combos made each character feel more unqiue.

[@livingcorpse5664]

Have you seen the video "Mortal Kombat in Japan"? It's interesting to see all the factors that got in the way of it getting big over there.

[@GamerThumbTV]

I don't think I've seen that one in particular but it took a while for Japanese gamers to really be exposed in a wide manner to Mortal Kombat. It definitely started as a fighter that was seen as being much more western compared to what they made (Street Fighter, Tekken, etc)

[@JabamiLain]

One of the few things they did right. But I wished they had shown her be a harsh officer, given how tougher the law is on Outworld. And then have her and Striker meet and argue about their respective law systems. "Mortal Kombat" used to be so creative and deep. Now...look how they butchered everything and everyone.

[@erichfiedler1481]

Damn, just 2 days ago you gave us the history of Smoke, now a character i have no fucking clue about since I never played Deadly Alliance (I was a kid and my parents were pretty strict on me not playing games above my age limit, which at the time was 10, and my first and only MK game was MK9)

[@GamerThumbTV]

She's gonna be awesome in MK1!

[@erichfiedler1481]

@@GamerThumbTV on a side note, looking forward to the next untold legend, which'll be the end of The Metroid Story, one we've all been DREADING! Hai, Aruto ja, NAITO!

[@LyricAiLove]

I've always felt the "hate" that the 3D era gets is trying to rewrite history. No one hated those games and they are still fun to play. Also, maybe it's just me but I'm much more a fan of quick snappy combos as opposed to each button being mapped to a specific limb and not being able to sidestep on top of that. Also three fighting styles. I love the newer games but I miss the old combat.

[@austinskywalker92]

I am curious to see what role Li Mei will play in the new Era. Heck there's much to look forward too when MK1 releases next month.

[@GamerThumbTV]

I've been using her in the beta and she's so damn good

[@austinskywalker92]

@@GamerThumbTV that's good to hear. MK1 is shaping up to be a good time.

[@danielcook7975]

As we know a major role being that apparently she trained Kitana and Mileena and was the original leader of the Umgadi. Even Ashrah apparently will be very important! MK1 is gonna be awesome!

[@GamerThumbTV]

@@danielcook7975 definitely gives Li Mei a much better role than she's had in the past. She was one of those characters before you could wipe away and it would affect nothing.

[@nazishhussain2712]

Li mei remind me of tori from power rangers

[@mattbryant8320]

Do kotal Kahn next.

[@Ticr00]

Li Mei's history is so exciting that it can be summed in one sentence: she was pretty - and now she's ugly. There you go. No need to thank me and feel free to quote me.
