I'm always happy to see MK vs DC Universe discussed. It wasn't the best game but I had so much fun playing it and spent hours upon hours playing online. There were lobbies with regular players who were always there and a chatroom, and there were some infamous players who would abuse Superman and Flash Infinite that had KZbin videos made making fun of them. Running into a good player who knew what they were doing was always nice, especially with a character who seems to get picked rarely such as Catwoman or Darkseid. Story was interesting and well done too, and it was funny seeing Scorpion kick Superman into a car. Good times. I appreciate that game.

I hate that game now, BUT when it came out, it was the funnest MK at that point for me. Coming off the cusps of Armageddon and the other 2 3D MKs, which were very slow and chunky as much as I love those games now, MK vs. DC was lightning in comparison and very fun. But then I discovered Street Fighter 4 (a bit late), and realized that I’ve been doing things wrong my whole life.

"MK1, I need a new term." - I can see that, but personally, I'll be calling the new one "MK12," which is the same treatment that "MK9" got by fans (although online pages call it MK 2011). It's interesting though, at least from what I hear online over the years, that virtually no one calls the 3D era games by number (MK5, MK6, MK7) and how MKvsDC is also seldom called "MK8" and was not supposed to be anyway at first. But if you don't want to call the new MK1 "MK12", then I think "OG MK" is a quick and easy term. Congrats on the sponsorship.

[@dree35]

I remember I went into GameStop when MK9 ( yes, I'm still going to call it that ) came out. I went to buy it & I called it that and the teller was like "Do you mean Mortal Kombat. The new edition, Mortal Kombat 2011?" Here I am, 9 years old, with my dukes trying to buy the game & I'm over here like bro, it's the 9th installment just give me the game lmfaooo. As soon as I said that he started talking to my mom saying "you know this game has tons of suggestive content, a bunch of gore, & pretty much could be dangerous to a young mind." My dukes was just like "sdfu, I know what we came here for " it's even more hilarious assuming she didn't know about mortal Kombat ( she was alive & actually played [& beat] the arcade version of Mortal Kombat 2 )

People like Johny Cage seemed weaker to me. Raiden also feels mid level to me. His powers are great, but his playability isn't. Edit: Kano must be 1 of the more boring characters, cause I don't remember him.

[@YURTZYN42]

Shang gets boned pretty hard in trilogy on n64. No ground magma into morph combos which was his main thing to setup big damage opportunities as well as morph into a lethal character to finish off with. This is a really big deal as ppl are not gonna just sit there and let you morph. You gotta get a combo or advantage state to morph against better players, so not being able set that up makes him so bad and defeats the whole purpose of playing him.. My favorite thing as a fun player is to use scorpion morphs off magma to jump kick spear into autocombo for a 50-55% combo. I know there are better combos out there, but this one is super easy and compensates for Scorp's lack of damage while still benefiting off scorp's high mobility to finish off the rest of the opponent's health. That and you know, Scorp has neat fatalities that make me like him more than human smoke. Can't do this in trilogy =(

[@connorbrennan4233]

I've actually been doing an experimemt with MK9 recently where I play as every character, fight every one in the game in training mode on the highest difficulty, score how many rounds I win out of ten, and average it all out to see who I work best as. I'm almost done, and right now, my best is Kitana and my worst is Sheeva.

Perfect follow-up to the last video I have to say. Thank you for your continued efforts!

I'll have to say that what you forgot to mention was that Reptile's invisibility cloak is USELESS if you're the player against the computer. You can't see you and the computer can. However, in UMK3, ALL of the characters are the worst because it took everything that went bad after MK2 and ran with it, making it even worse and cheesier than MK3.

[@mrstudent9125]

Scorpion has the hughest tier variance - from the best in Deadly Alliance to the worst in MK1.

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

ok karen

[@NM-rt5hk]

Slightly off topic, but Rambo getting blown up by his own claymore made me laugh

[@mattdad8429]

He really thought he was doing something there with that like "I'm gonna get him this time" BANG

An Arcsys sponsor on a highly requested video? I see this as an absolute win.

[@WalkBesideMe]

I thought Frost was usually agreed upon for being the worst character in Armageddon? Or her and Kai the same level of bad they're interchangeable? I personally think Frost is worst but Kai is definitely bottom 10 with her

[@cichontom]

Frost is definitely worse. Terrible weapon stance, minimum damage output, I think the only reason you might choose Kai over her is due to her weapons not being single hit.

[@WalkBesideMe]

@@cichontom that's what I remembered. Also very mediocre movement, especially compared to the other women in the game like Sareena or Li Mei.

[@cichontom]

@@WalkBesideMe she also has extremely limited opportunities for air combat, which still feels weird they included. Frost does have some upside though. Her specials aren't terrible. Ice puddle essentially gets you a free hit.

[@jekylwhispy4181]

Also, glad for the validation that I wasn't necessarily spelling Raiden wrong. They changed it. I'd have to look it up but I feel like his name was based on an actual god somewhere

[@BATCHARRO]

"Sure, now you got two games in the series called just Mortal Kombat, but we can avoid the confusion by calling the first game Mortal Kombat 1" we said. "It doesn't have to be confusing" we said. Personally I think OG Mortal Kombat or even Original Mortal Kombat could work. Maybe we can pull a Playstation and call it MKX. Wait no we can't lol.

[@RobocopReturns]

These past 2 weeks I have picked up Scorpion and I like playing him… but he is the worst character in MK1. People say Sub (😂)… but no. At least Sub can cook a bit. Scorp is not even in the kitchen.

[@ss5wil]

Kano was way more trash in MK1 then Raiden

[@JBee887]

I thought he was going to say Kano too.

[@brytheguy4515]

I wish Kai developed something of a Dan Hibiki reputation with fans

[@eth102]

Now what about the weakest Kameo? Probably still too early to tell but I definingly feel it's Motaro or Shujinko, my vote goes towards to Motaro and I am absolutely biased because I wanted to use him when he was announced. Teleport is all he has. It's an interesting ability that allows for some unique combo routes, conversions and pressure. But he is so lacking in all other categories that I feel he doesn't cut it. He cuts your health for some reason, tail blast is underwhelming, tail turret isn't worth your whole bar for an unreliable projectile and reflect is just ok. Much of his kit is outclassed somewhere by other kameos with more utility. Tail blast has plenty of competition with other projectiles, reflect has direct competition with Sub armor and Krystal Tremor and Lao has his own teleport (albeit slower) and Sektor can use his teleport as a punish tool. At least Shujinko has some sauce in specific match ups and is unique amongst the cast.

[@musicxxa6678]

shujinko can not be included in tier lists. he is very specific. he might become meta next year once people lab everything and try to squeeze out every advantage they can at the highest level.

[@nintendohandheld9556]

Funny thing about UMK3 on 90s home ports; no Sheeva, and since I mostly play the Genesis version Sheeva doesn't count for me as weakest character in the game.

[@alexmelik4030]

Thank god, I thought I went crazy. My UMK3 definitely did not have Sheeva.

[@Amer93255]

I seriously can't see how you decided to pick Rambo as the weakest character in MK11 when Shao Khan exists. He's got great damage but that's it.

[@konqrr]

The quick rise punish against Sindel throw in MKD is by pressing d/b as you land which puts you directly into a crouch stance and those who can punish her, can do it every time. If she throws you against the wall, every character can punish her every time, some of which are infinites or 100% combos.

[@davidlowery2294]

Dude i want a mortal combat collection like the ninja turtles cowabunga collection so bad.

[@neutralpeace647]

Reptile is not weak

[@breezy1845]

Prove it

[@jimsager4917]

@@breezy1845 Reptile was the second strongest character on MK2 for me. Sad I bad to play Kitana because one fan hit leads to an unstoppable 100% combo. Reptile was more fun than insta wins

[@streettomato]

I am finishing up MK vs DC content on my channel right now. Enjoyed it for what it was.

[@JacksonWithrow82]

I did really well with Stryker against other players because his move set was usually unfamilliar--his strong kick was perfect for this.

[@SergioHernandez-le8wp]

I remember being a kid and being so friggin excited about Reptile being in MK2. My disappointment was at an all time high the day I tried him out
