[@luvozzy9856]

I love how Raiden had the same voice actor for so many years

[@christiananddanyell]

Really wish they did the same for the others. Sonya's voice got worse and Scorpion's MK11 voice is nowhere near as good as MK9 or MKX

@@christiananddanyell At least Scorpian actually sounds Japanese lol he sounded American in MK9

[@christiananddanyell]

​@@SonGokuuuuuuu Im not saying the VA for MK11 Scorpion was bad, it's just that the voice and delivery for MK9 and MKX is just so iconic and memorable. "NO TO HELL WITH YOU" and Scorpion's line to Quan Chi in MKX are absolute peak voice acting

[@austinkersey2445]

@@SonGokuuuuuuu Yeah, but Patrick Seitz is better as Scorpion because he just clicks with the character. Does Sub-Zero sound Chinese? Does Shang Tsung? Does Raiden sound Japanese, or even look it? Being as he is the Japanese god of thunder and lightning? That argument doesn't hold water. The characters that were switched were better voice acted in the two previous installments. Except for Shang Tsung and Fujin. They're the shining beacons of MK11.

[@alfredsampaga3632]

"I do not need Trust, I demand obedience." This line is a vital point for Raiden, we see both his attitude towards Liu Kang: 1.The inability to make a fair judgement towards him due to his Anger fueled by Shinnok's Amulet. 2. His desire to defend earthrealm and humanity. Some MK fans thought Raiden is a villain in this game, but for me, though he's angry because of the circumstances, he's still the Raiden we know. The only negative thing about him is the lack of right judgement. But thanks to his memories, it really saved him from becoming much more insane.

[@sonomni]

Yeah he was so much more psychotic in Deception and Armageddon, Dark Raiden in MKX and 11 was more so not taking anyone’s shit.

[@DreamerFromTheDepths]

MK 11 still confuses me, the Raiden we see is the one that came through the portal which would indicate that he is the same Raiden from MK 9 however he has Shinnok's amulet and his dark side is very prominent, before this Raiden showed up MK 11 only had Dark Raiden who disappeared inexplicably fairly early on in the story and is never seen again. It's not necessarily a plot hole but it's just very odd to me that Dark Raiden just vanished like that.

I honestly wish I can agree, but for me it just raises more questions than answers. Supposedly Kronika was upset at what the present dark Raiden has done to the timeline, but…the whole multi timeline plot suggests that this is not the first timeline. Why would Kronika change the timeline multiple times only for the current most one she created be the one in which Raiden resets everything and causes Shinnok’s downfall? Plus if Kronika has the power already to change the timeline into different varieties, wbu does it take more power to make the new era?

As far as I understand it, MK9 was Raiden realizing that everything attempted from MK 1 to Armageddon was a severe worst case scenario. He sent a message to his past self before Shao Kahn killed him. Could he have been a bit more descriptive or sent the message a little earlier? Perhaps. And he could've prevented everything that occurred from MK9 to MK11. Downside, that scenario could have possibly been played out from all of Kronika's different outcomes, with Kronika still winning.

[@sr.favopossodeixarvaziosim4595]

Pretty much. Liu beat Shao Khan, he returned. Shinnok got beat, returned anyway in Armageddon. Shang Tsung and Quan Chi created the Deadly Alliance and merked the heroes, paving the way for the rise of Onaga. Which set the stage for Armageddon where literally all the bad guys teamed up against all the good guys, Legion of Doom-style and in the end, Shao fucking Khan won. I mean, Liu Kang was a friggin' zombie in Armageddon. Even before this, things were already going out of control in 9 - like Scorpion NOT sparing Bi-Han and handling Quan Chi a free minion, Kung Lao getting killed in the second tournament (his own fault but DAMN, massive L) or their treatment of poor Mileena who didn't deserve to be shunned like a freak for existing, creating yet another enemy. Also anything Sindel. But yah, the Game Was Rigged From the Start because Kronika.

[@thetronwarriors4817]

[@drewhutchison3115]

Then there’s MKX, where Liu Kang is revived by Quan Chi and Shinnok as a revenant. I hated that Liu Kang is always blaming Raiden for his death in 9, but it should be noted that it was really Liu Kang’s own fault that he died, as he attacked Raiden near the end of Shao Kahn’s invasion, and Raiden had only killed him accidentally. Something that he truly regrets. If he had just listened to Raiden’s warning and/or processed everything the Elder Gods said about the merger of the realms without winning the MK tournaments being illegal, Liu Kang wouldn’t have attacked Raiden, he could’ve avoided his fate as a revenant. As Bo Rai Cho said during pre-fight interactions with Revenant Liu Kang, it was his own distrust towards Raiden that led to his demise, something he could’ve easily avoided.

When you purposefully attack and kill someone: BY THE GODS, NOO!!!

[@jontray87]

I like how Liu Kang died by the combination of fire and lightning and later became the God of them both.

[@Jaycee_Campos]

I always loved the part where Lui Kang and Raiden fight and Armageddon is in the background just pure chills

[@thatkidcgonzo]

They should add the Subway and Armageddon Pyramid and other stages that appeared in this scene to the game tbh.

[@autismtony2404]

Plus more stage fatalities

[@thatkidcgonzo]

@@autismtony2404 Yeah that too

[@danielazoor4682]

those massive organ chords in the flashback music in X and 11, probably the best part of both games

[@tonson5214]

I like how Liu Kang gets Lichtenberg's figures when he gets electrocuted.. nice touch

[@sillyme2598]

Lmao if raiden had just heard the "I" in his visions, none of these would've happened 😂

[@Kangaroo9398]

Another parallel is both Raiden and Fujin said "have faith in me", to Liu Kang and Raiden (lol) respectfully

[@gamingguzman]

I'm always coming back to this video thinking how genius this convept is and all the different timelines of Raiden and Liu Kang fighting

[@TylerBManOfficial]

Liu kang: enough of your madness, if you must die so be it! Raiden: enough of this madness, if you both must die so be it!

[@BrickFighter13]

The fight where everything kept switching timelines was great, the music really adds to it too. They’re always meant to be fighting over and over again, no matter what the timeline.

before MK9: I must consult the elder gods MK9 and beyond: I must throw these hands!!!!

[@officialcharles2300]

I just noticed the hsu hao Easter egg in the background of the different timelines!

[@MajorityMars5]

It’s sad that in every timeline except this one raiden kills his best friend Liu Kang

[@no_0ption516]

Not best friend more like "son"

[@mohammadqarawolos]

This Liu Kang’s Catchphrase

[@i.cant.sleep.anymore]

Liu Kang in MK9 looks just like the actor who plays Kung Lao in the new MK movie lol

[@KenanVonKaiser]

Feel Ya!

[@kingblader1840]

IF YOU MUST DIE SO HE IT! Actually don't kill each other

[@kingblader1840]

So be it
