An HONESTLY BRUTAL Review of Every Mortal Kombat 1 Character (Part 1)

"Where there's smoke, there's a fucking knife in your eye" was phenomenal. Thank you. I'm going to switch from Reptile to Smoke now

[@theultimatewarlord69420]

You have to remember, this Scorpion’s identity is the younger Sub-Zero of the previous timeline. Meaning he is not the iconic Scorpion that we have known for forever and loved. That was Hanzo Hasashi, this is Kuai Liang. That’s why he is more humble, less tempered, and practically switched roles from the previous timeline. I understand why MK1’s Scorpion is disliked, but sometimes I think they keep forgetting this underlying factor. This Scorpion is a whole new person, and we just have to get used to that. And even I, myself, dislike Kuai Liang as Scorpion. I prefer Hanzo Hasashi as well. Hanzo is the ultimate Scorpion, and Kuai is the superior Sub-Zero. That will never change in any of our hearts, but physically, we have to get used to this change in this instalment

[@helowolfthehybridalpha8109]

[@theultimatewarlord69420]

@@aguywithalotofopinions412 What?! So, you don’t care for Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade’s romantic relationship in the MK lore? You turn a blind eye to Liu Kang and Kitana finally kissing in this instalment? You hate the fact that Mortal Kombat is not just a regular fighting game, but its story modes depict and teach life lessons, respect, honour, and morality that is worth learning for every human being? You don’t like that the majority of MK characters have souls, humanity, good-nature and sympathy and/or empathy instilled within them, and are not just psychopathic killing machines, only bent on rage? The history of Mortal Kombat, what I have experienced myself via the story modes, it is nostalgic, emotional, heartwarming, and a rollercoaster journey! I have currently cried 4 times to this franchise. One from Sonya Blade’s death in the MK11 story mode, another from Scorpion’s (who is Hanzo Hasashi) death in the MK11 story mode, again to the nostalgia from the MK9 story mode, and from full-blown happiness and awe of MK1’s storytelling of redemption. And trust me, it is almost impossible to make me cry to anything, because I have issues that restrain me from freely, externally expressing my emotional side. Only a few minor others, like Avengers: Endgame, tipped me off the edge and actually gave me a breakdown session

[@aguywithalotofopinions412]

@@theultimatewarlord69420 Well good for you, I'm glad you found a story that meant so much to you, those are rare.

Comments on Scorpion, he is more defensive, and has the most insane air combos. He also has the only TOD I've seen in-game so far. I agree at first he seems a little strange and much less... snappy? and quick, but he still has some pretty cool stuff. Personally, I'm also a Smoke main right now though.

[@seriouslysatan216]

If I wasn't already 110% convinced that I'd be maining Smoke, this video would have both convinced me to do exactly that, or play Rain (solely because of the portal mechanic). In MKX, I only ever used Sub 0, but I think it's time for a switch.... right after I finish Armored Core VI.

MK1 was great, one of my critics are that they did just character assassinated Bi-Han, in the original timeline he was ruthless but not full on evil, in the new timeline he’s just evil, doesn’t stop him from being bad ass though.

[@grandpagohan1]

Honestly, Bi-Han has always been a dick, but never THIS much while he was alive and I think that's what tripped them. They were used to writing Bi-Han as Noob, so he's just full asshole from the beginning. Which is a shame as I've always loved Sub-Zero, when he's Kuai. So now I my favorite character no longer has my favorite moveset. I'm a little bitter, I won't lie.

[@Zaire_39]

Exactly this. In the OG timeline he literally tried to run away from the clan when he found out his soul was tainted but in this they just fucked over his character & showed that they know nothing about his character.
