Competitive histories are always so great! You guys make really good informative videos, especially for something as niche as competitive mortal kombat. I mean, people don’t really play the games to become god-tier gamers, they play to see a guy get his head ripped off :p But these videos may make them reconsider! If I can give a suggestion, history of Baraka would own. He was crazy good in trilogy, had a weird history of ups and downs throughout the franchise, and wasn’t in too many games that the video would be insanely long.

[@mike91mdk45]

Man, I need more of these lol. Love how you break down the movesets and skill level of each iteration like that

It's really fun once you learn how to play. If you play on PC or Xbox id recommend starting with Mk9 or mkx. You can play mk9 on playstation but it's only on playstation now subscriptions.

[@09rinrada]

@@nicholausstevens1262 MK 9 is only on the 360 though. So either way he’d need two Xbox’s or PlayStation’s to play MK 9 properly, on 360 or ps3 And the One or PS4 or Series X|S or PS5 to play MK X and 11. Of course a PC even, to play all of them if he has one, like you mentioned.

[@nicholausstevens1262]

@@09rinrada mk9 is reverse compatible so you can play it just fine on Xbox1 or Series S. The only reason I didn't mention PS is because it's only on PS Now for current gen.

[@09rinrada]

@@nicholausstevens1262 What do you mean reverse? Is it because of that emulation thing due to developer mode?

[@nicholausstevens1262]

@@09rinrada no I mean you can play Mk9 on xbox1 because it is a reverse compatibility game. Without xbox1/series S having reverse compatibility they would not be able to play the games from the previous console generations. Emulators are on PC for games that normally don't exist on steam or anywhere else. They're basically fan made copies of the game that try to get it to play exactly the same, with some minor gameplay differences.

[@jesseperry9602]

This is great...Sektor was always my favorite cyber-ninja. I liked to play him as a really aggressive zoner back in UMK3. In the arcades I frequented and in our community, not many people played him, preferring the nets and auto combos of Cyrax or the catch and combos of Smoke. So long as they didn't know how to punish his teleport punch, you could really lay a beating on someone with Sektor!

Honestly, there's about 7 or 8 characters in MKXL that are fighting for the top 5 spot. A testament to how balanced that game is.

I dont think anybody would deny that Sektor is top 5 though. That's pretty impossible to challenge IMO

That Cyrax one mustard may be working on surely will be fire, besides that, I would love to see Baraka, kind of in the Sheeva realm of lower-tier obscurity, and also is a character that has been part of MK since the second install so he deserves some love. I would also love some Bo Rai Cho or maybe Reptile, who has also been in the franchise for a long time and his NRS appearances have had some cool tech and tier placements. Love the content always. PD: A MK deception meta would be really cool whenever that would be possible, appreciate all content.

[@Himekocchi]

Still mad they didn't make Sektor playable in mk11. Love at first sight in mk3 and have been maining him ever since. Crazy skill ceiling and flashy combos makes him the best character to play alongside Cyrax.
