[@EvanAdvent]

I like how Stryker's Mortal Combat 9 Ending is all about him becoming super popular and famous when he's super unpopular in the fandom. You know that the developers made that ending completely on purpose.

[@GamerThumbTV]

They for sure did that on purpose haha, very on the nose humor.

[@nicholaswallen8147]

His ending came true. I like Stryker. A normal, no super power, destiny b.s. human. With guns and tactics. That's why nobody likes him. He's just normal

[@specialistgreen]

I liked Stryker and never really got why people hated him so much. "He's just a regular guy fighting Gods and Demons!" I'd be like, "Yeah! That's what makes him MORE of a badass! He's just a friggin' cop, fighting GODS AND DEMONS!" Give my boy some credit. Lol

[@ericsohl1953]

Yes and his fatality in mk3 is awesome when you realize he carries around a bunch of c4 and dynamite just because he can lol

[@duncananderson2113]

Fun fact Stryker in MK9 is voiced by the same guy who voices Leon Kennedy.

[@nazishhussain2712]

I know that

[@thefollowing8127]

Not gunna lie, i love Stryker. I saw the guns and grenades and thought "this man gets it, if your fighting demigods, bring some firepower". The fact he's SWAT was icing on the cake.

[@soulrobinson5731]

So I guess RoboCop, took his spot light in MK 11

[@iammaximumstupied]

Honestly i liked stryker. He deserves more.

[@nolanduarte]

If mk11 is all time travel he should be alive.

[@darkeagle2004]

I always liked Stryker ever since he first came out on MK3. Always used him in every MK game if he was available. He’s a unique character, depended on equipment and experience rather than what was internal power.

[@MrAfriKa]

6:35 And since Kahn had no idea who he was, Stryker defeated him. Man he can't even get respect for confronting the final boss.

[@livingcorpse5664]

I always forget, it's Striker who starts the fight/race to reach Blaze.

[@justinstewart1828]

I thought he was just a riot cop with incredible reflexes and spot on instincts.

[@Yoss2023]

Besides the main characters, Striker was always one of my favorites. Don't know why, he's nothing special, just a cop doing his best. Well that's a lot really .

[@keithasaur0]

Grew up with Mortal Kombat Trilogy, and I’m proud to say Stryker was, and is still, my Favorite MK character. Love the simplicity of the character, and I definitely got extremely excited when he returns in Mortal Kombat for the 360. Really hope he becomes a DLC character for the new MK game. I’m more so hoping that I can actually get a Stryker action figure in the future!!

[@myriadmediamusings]

While I never loved Stryker he was one I always had a soft spot for. One of my first characters as MK3 was my first. Defintely was more aware of his meh-ness later on, was excited for his return & redesign in Armageddon, and I feel part of his adoration now comes from him being part of the classic era, as Deadly Alliance/Deception would introduce far worse characters.

[@GamerThumbTV]

Yea some of the 3D era characters were just cheap knock offs of already existing characters.

[@austinskywalker92]

Only time will tell if we will ever see Stryker again in Liu Kang's new era. Mortal Kombat once more as a clean slate so it's up in the air on what will happen.

[@duncananderson2113]

Stryker has this future Tron like style in Armageddon

[@anthonythanghe4755]

“In the cannon series of events he most definitely *did not* defeat Shao Khan” Damn won’t any of you let me eat my M&Ms in peace. Lol

[@joshfraley8019]

Stryker's design was awesome in the 90s. If he makes the cut in MK11, I hope he gets twice as much SWAT gear.

[@GamerThumbTV]

All the different gear you could unlock would probably look awesome too.

[@Svnfold]

This hasn't aged well

[@Kevin-vr3wj]

Actually he can also be seen in Shujinko's Deception ending (which is supposed to be canon) giving some of his "power" to Shujinko to defeat Onaga so maybe he did learn Seidan magic or something? 🤔

[@GamerThumbTV]

idk why they randomly threw him in there and not put him in the actual game. They literally stick him all the way in the corner lol.

[@Kevin-vr3wj]

@@GamerThumbTV yeah it gets annoying after a while as a Stryker fan lol

[@RyomaHoshi22]

Stryker deserves another chance for MK12 or even in a spin off with Kabul like shalion monks was

[@GamerThumbTV]

Yes please

[@ebesonen]

In Mortal Kombat 3/Ultimate/Trilogy I liked Stryker, in reality he was the most normal human out of the whole cast, It's sad he was only in 2 games In the timeline and once in the new timeline, I just didn't know he wasn't popular in MK universe, he could leave Mk universe and join Capcom and the RPD S.T.A.R.S unit, nice video Fabian keep it up 👍

[@GamerThumbTV]

And we still don't know what happened to revenant Stryker. They just forgot about him.

[@jayb8934]

Technically he wasn't killed off-screen in MKA. That was the problem, that Rain didn't kill him and Kabal.

[@gerardwaysway5999]

People always say Stryker was bad in mk3 and umk3 but he was awesome the only bad thing about him in those games was his fatalities

[@GamerThumbTV]

I always thought his fatalities were kinda cool. He used regular non magical tools, and somehow people still exploded into multiple sets of ribs, heads, and various bones haha

[@andrewsallee]

Between him and Baraka I cant choose who is my favorite MK Character.

[@sauce23d]

So many people wanted Stryker in MK X and in 11. Sad that it's been hard to get through for Stryker support.

[@GamerThumbTV]

Especially since it even seems his own creators didn't really like him much afterwards.

[@joshuagorski9452]

1:25 Well, THAT definitely aged well

[@MortalKombatKollector]

Some fun facts about MK3 Stryker. The image in the background ( police cars) of his end bio is actually from a scene from Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Also a 1993 T- Rex toy from Jurassic Park called “Young T Rex” was used by John Vogel for his animality ✌️

[@GamerThumbTV]

Ha, I knew that background image looked familiar. Also, I owned that exact toy. Updated the info in the description and shouted you out!

[@griffingower1883]

So in strykers non canon armageddon ending he became the mortal kombat version of the red hood

[@griffingower1883]

Batman doesn't kill

[@malcolmjohnson3061]

I honestly had no problem with Stryker. I think people who say he sucks are too focused on comparing him all the other MK characters yet no one complained they gave Jax a gun or that Cassie Cage in MKX is basically a female version of him mixed with Johnny.

[@GamerThumbTV]

Might as well say he has special powers. The guy took on Kintaro and Ermac on his own and won lol

[@anthonyboxwell6304]

I live for these uploads

[@carlosisaias4453]

Revenant Stryker in MK11 search for rendemption alone after all his partners forgotten him. He allies with Havik on Chaosrealm. Lol. KombatPack3 story fanfic

[@GamerThumbTV]

I'll take it.

[@MartinRoebuck925]

If Stryker comes back in MK12, he should join the Special Forces.

[@GamerThumbTV]

Would've been a perfect role for him, some Special Forces commander or something.

[@MartinRoebuck925]

Yeah, Stryker joining the Special Forces along with Sonya and Jax can be a reference to him being replaced by Sonya in MK1 and by Jax in MK2 before finally making his debut in MK3. If there were custom variations for him, he should wear all sorts of police uniforms since he is a cop.

[@jinx1987]

I honestly would’ve liked if they tried to give Stryker a bigger importance in the game’s story. Like he didn’t die in MK 9 and decided to join the Special Forces with Sonya as his mentor. Then in MKX he becomes the mentor of Cassie and her team. Just the idea of a regular cop taking on these fighters makes you imagine that you could take them on as well.

[@GamerThumbTV]

Yea it seemed they didn't know what to do with him so they just killed him off.

[@nosfonader8792]

How to use Stryker in an MK movie or tv series: He can be the introduction arc to the grander, fantasy world of Mortal Kombat. Have his intro be a raid against the Black Dragon and Kano. You can even use this to introduce Sonya and Jax. Outworld can invade Earthrealm using Mileena and Kintaro as the leaders.

[@GamerThumbTV]

That's actually how the Mortal Kombat Legacy web series introduced him too when they went to catch Kano in a raid. Definitely a great idea for a movie.

[@nosfonader8792]

GamerThumbTV I think it should be Nightwolf who brings Stryker, Sonya and Jax to meet Liu Kang and Raiden. I’d rather it be a slow introduction to the Realms. Mortal Kombat should be a tv show, I think.

[@litesniper4974]

In MK 9 Stryker is voiced by the same guy who later voiced Ganondorf in Tears of the Kingdom, Matt Mercer

[@georgemercer402]

So underrated; he needs more screen time

[@GamerThumbTV]

He seems to be a main character in the upcoming Battle of the Realms animated movie.

[@phantomchild6752]

Fun fact: Stryker was going to be in Mortal kombat 1 but was replaced by Sonya then got replaced by Jax in Mortal kombat 2 until ultimately become playable in Mortal kombat 3.

[@GamerThumbTV]

Very neat seeing all his history put together. I can’t say I was a fan of him, but didn’t hate him either. I hope Skarlet is soon. I have been wondering about her origins.

[@juancenobio3379]

I loved stryker As a kombatant he was a deadly fighter with a killer instinct Just an ordinary human But a skilled operator (swat officer) Stryker is like Ranma from THE RAID REDEMPTION The night stick also being a martial arts weapon I think always went past peoples head.

Two questions in regards to MK lore 1) why did the dude from the realm of order fight on the side of darkness 2)when did OG Dark Raiden realise Shao Khan must win in order to lose

[@GamerThumbTV]

1) They barely knew what to do with any of those characters, which is why we barely see them. In his edging he basically imposing his will on the entire universe so that's probably why he's a bad guy. 2) probably when he was about to get his head smashed in lol.

I really and always did like Kurtis Stryker. Among my favorite characters. Hope he returns someday, though I feel it's pretty unlikely with what's going on nowadays in the USA and the woke pandering bullshit the Mortal Kombat series is trying to pull as of MK11. . . 🙄

[@nabilahmed579]

Imagine if Stryker had a gameplay trailer where he had an intro of “police brutality coming up” and the opponent is Jax 💀
