A few things I want to point out I think you misunderstood the term mutant I believe it’s referencing that at one point demons and a race of outworlders cross bred to form a genetically mutated race tarkahaten itself is the mutation and once they start breeding they became there own race also I believe that originally in mk2 baraka was hit with the hat fatality which is why he wasn’t in mk3 had the chest staples in mk4 and fought Kung Lao in Armageddon and I also think nrs confirmed it was a random tarkahton soldier that the xenomorph takes over since he is dead by that point

[@eddihurta7173]

I love how you just described how to make the villains more THREATNING, In MK 11 they seem to be dividing the storys to be part bad guy/good guy, So this video is a prime example of how to do better in story mode for future sake!

[@feuryie]

you actually did miss a loss. the very design of mk 4 baraka was due to kung lao splitting him in half in mk II where he was then resurrected by quan chi. also baraka probably removed himself from mk9 cuz he probably needed private time after achieving many a guy's wish of being stepped on by that particular jade...

[@tafua_a]

I love how a few of Baraka's Ws are due to the fact that he isn't just a Tarkatan, but their rightful leader, and as such he is not only the strongest, but also the smartest. He led the successful attack to Liu Kang's Shaolin Temple in 2, in his 2 ending he becomes the new Kahn of Outworld, in his Trilogy ending he exploits Shao Kahn's weakened state to kill him and flee, in his Gold ending he does die, but it's due to him actually having some moral standards that Quan Chi Lacks, in his Deception ending he doesn't just rush Mileena head on, but he ambushes her exploiting her inferior sense of smell, and in his 9 ending, he uses his sense of smell again to thwart Shang Tsung's attempt at usurping the Throne, making the Tarkatan Shao Kahn's new elite race over the Shokan and the Centaurs.

[@ΠαναγιώταΠοιμενίδου-π8υ]

ChrisLikesYourMom,how was Noob and Goro always jobbers,especially in the original timeline. They even made Shao kahn a jobber in mk11

[@milkmonstrosity]

Blame the rigid chapter system combined. Combine this with favoritism for trilogy characters and random fights to fill time and you get 90% of the cast jobbing at the flip of a coin.

[@Headstrong9128]

​@@milkmonstrosity Story Mode needs some tweaking and the Aftermath route seems a way to go, but I don't want the story to be as unstructured as it was during half the OG timeline, we had many subplots and characters not related to the main story like: - Noob, Mileena, the Cyborgs during MK3, the first 2 were sided with Shinnok, just spying and the Cyborgs after Sub-Zero. - Sektor/Cyrax during MK4/MKGold, still after Sub-Zero - Cyrax/Nitara/Reptile on Deadly Alliance - Noob/Smoke, Sub-Zero & Kenshi vs Hotaru, Chaos vs Order, Ashrah on Deception, the most fillers subplots on the series. I'm not even going to try with Armageddon since not all characters had bios or appeared during the story.

[@Ghost_in_the_Rain]

I've said it once, and I'll continue to say it 'till the day I die: Netherrealm needs to make a game that either takes place from the villains' point of view, or include a split story mode when you can choose to play both the heroes' or villains' side. Because let's be real... MK's bad guys are WAY cooler than the good guys, and it's about time they got to shine.

​@@MarkEstratocaster I agree because I will never accept Kenshi as dead

[@jaidora]

I think what made the Tarkartans powerful is their large numbers, all of them having arm blades but Baraka is the alpha chief. He’s more about whatever suits his tribe and loves war, easily swapping sides in Skarlet’s tower ending where he decaps Kitana in service. As for MK 9 story, I think his absence was kinda explained in his intro dialogue with Kano about the weapons he sold them malfunctioning.

[@tafua_a]

Also, Baraka's cunning shouldn't be understated, as he's shown himself to be deceptively smart.

[@exe671]

Baraka was one of my first favorite charecter it is so sad to see how the writers treat him. In my opinion They could make him playable in story mode rather than sheeva in mk11 aftermath where he has an arc to team up with the good guys for his race.

[@Labyethan]

... honestly, if that was the case and Baraka found Sindel... and seeing him stand by Kitana even though his original boss is back, would've been 10/10.

[@Mister_Dollz]

Some things that I'd love to see in MK12, are for all of the base roster kharacters to have their own chapter, also for there to be a chapter select, so that people can leave story mode if needed, and come back to it.

All the villains are jobbers,all of them are losers,i dont understand the point of mocking a villain because he doesnt win fights,when none of them do.

[@Deathmare235]

Sektor actually had a role can’t say the same with Ermac and especially Noob literally what was his purpose in mk11 it wasn’t even the past version he just somehow survived the soulnado and while Reptile and Bakara are a lot better than other character they’re still the poster boy jobbers

[@ΠαναγιώταΠοιμενίδου-π8υ]

Christina Azarian,Shao was a jobber in MK11 story mode,but aftermath fixed that,but you also expect that NRS studios would respect Shao due to his iconic status but they still reduced him to a dumb brute that can be used as a pawn by everyone.

Kye Dysarthria,im talking about the NRS games and in them,Noob and Ermac dont matter at all. The villains in these games are worthless jobbers,so i find it weird that Baraka gets criticism for not winning fights when none of the bad guys get to win in these games.

[@fightingmedialounge519]

@@ΠαναγιώταΠοιμενίδου-π8υ the mythologies games are still cannon to the nrs time-line, so his accomplishments in those games still count. Also Ermac defeated Jonny cage and Jax in mk9(also most likely smoke since raiden said that he was defeated as well). So no, it's not strange that Baraka and reptile are treated as bigger jokes than say Ermac and noob, since the latter two actually have canonical wins over significant charcters; unlike the former two.

Despite the criticism of MK11 it does redeem some characters like Liu Kang become a fucking God, Baraka and Sheeva being equal to Kitans as Kahnum. Sadly not everyone gets that sort of treatment, like Sindel. Half of the characters in the MK games are just wasted potential with little to no development character or character arc. Baraka, Rain, Noob Saibot, Ermac, Smoke, Reptile, Goro, Kintaro, Kabal, Jade, Sindel I can go on honestly.

They would all bring different foods, but baraka would bring broccoli, and no one wanted to eat Baraka's broccoli everyone we’re just walked past and he’s just standing there looking around hoping someone will just take one. And then that random Tarkatan from Deception "Baraka is our leader!!!" would be a kiss ass and act like he wanted some but baraka wouldn’t let him 🤣🤣🤣 this just unlocked a core memory

4:55 Baraka:I can't believe it...I'm on a cover of a magazine!

[@nateaulridge7477]

The Baraka fall in annihilation is the exact same frame as when the rain is knocked into it it’s funny as hell

[@cylondorado4582]

11 did make me like Baraka for the first time. I never disliked him, but he was just kind of there. In his first moments in the 11 story, at least he casually smokes a few of Kotal's henchmen. So that made him look surprisingly cool, and then he looked good when they showed that he cares about his people and the Tarkatans were relevant to what was going on. I started playing him a lot too, since I found he absolutely smoked the teleport spam Scorpions, lol.

i feel this in my soul. baraka is so much more fun to play than most of the good guys. it's like how mileena became a punching bag in mkx despite being top tier in design and gameplay.

[@kamijordan]

When I was a kid I loved reptile. Stop licking so much when he became more reptilian. But loved baraka on deception and for me, is still the best baraka design to this day

[@NodnarbSlaps]

I always kind of hated how the story never let you play the villians like come on you know they won some fights lemme play them🤣🤣

[@archie8117]

Baraka, kano and reptile all need a chapter in story mode in my opinion

[@epicpandachris7281]

You have to remember that the staples going down Baraka’s body in MK4 is hinted that Kung Lao killed him by cutting him in half before he was resurrected just to die again

[@kristokiid235]

Not video related but am I the only one who thinks NetherRealm should stop creating villains with op abilities and make them lose in very dumb ways...Eg:Noob,cetrion and Geras

[@deadknight1402]

The origins of the tarkatans had been retconned a couple of times, from being from the Netherrealm to being half-bred with Netherrealm demons and humans, then again in MKX where they were retconned to be one of the many races conquered by Shao Kahn, and came from another minour realm, similar to the Zaterrans, Vaeternians, and Osh-Tekks, but that proved useful enough as savage warriors for him to enslave them rather than kill them.

Poor guy gets the short end of the Tarkatan skewer. SPOILERS FOR MK1. Luckily, he finally got a decent break in the newest game, even though he's suffering a ghoulish disease this time. He actually helps in an important way and his whole deal is that he's trying to help his people survive. And if you so choose, he finally gets to be the literal "chosen one" that puts Shang Tsung in his place. Yeah, he's one of the potentially final playable characters in story mode!

[@pharaohbubbles1547]

I beleive Kano is a bigger jobber but Baraka gets WAY MORE disrepect

[@cosmicfool3334]

6:41 are you sure that’s an L sounds more like a W to me 😎

[@bananaking664]

and now his entire species is a disease 😁👍

[@akshayamel]

Damn, I think netherealm watched this video seeing how MK1 turned out👌

[@mrworm2711]

I loved both reptile and Baraka and thought they were some of the coolest characters and was so upset with what they do. I don't think story wise they deserve to be so humiliated, they just fight for their kind. Ps. I'd let jade step on me too 🥴

[@casual_villain]

“And then half of them dying to one character!” *cough* D’Vorah *cough*

[@OfficialBonehead]

2 options for villains in story mode 1: give villains their own chapters because it is NOT realistic for the heros to win EVERY SINGLE TIME (option I prefer) 2: make 2 story modes. One for heros, one for villains. Now, this would take a lot of work. It also wouldn’t be realistic for the villians to win every single time. This is why I support the 1st option (sorry for misspelling villain alot lol)

[@alexramos7708]

If reptile doesn't seem like a jobber in MK1 maaaaaaybe Baraka will be safe

[@bobheyotue9850]

Man when I was a kid My brother use to call me Baraka jr because I was hella skinny with a big head and my mom would always cut my hair really low.
