Player one advantage makes this a complete clown show. Nu era...trash.

[@WalkBesideMe]

This game is phenomenal, the combat variety and Kameos adding so much depth and creativity, the pro players are gonna go absolutely insane in this game.

[@big.gib.4L]

Right? The kameos are done in such a way that it actually feels more like a 2v2 fight that isn't exactly tag team

[@kishoratono1567]

​@@big.gib.4Lthat means it's still a tag team regardless cause they go in and out. Only the grab that made it seems like kameo are fighting as well

[@jaypat2546]

Then, the Khameleon Peacemaker nation attacked.

[@-LilBebe]

@@kishoratono1567he said “it isn’t exactly” which he’s right. it’s not like the kameo is there the whole time. and if u know the game and every kameo is easy to predict what’s coming

That Javier comeback was insane, mad respect for pulling that off

[@McCruddy]

Ngl, this has been the most hype I’ve been for a game in years. Literally EVERY match was good. I’m fired up. Watching so many good matches with different characters, now I’m more confused than ever about who I should pick up. Thx as always Rip for the work you put in and hats off to everyone that played.

[@triplerrr0001]

So happy to see you running the Arena in MK1!!!

[@ThyZaZaCam]

This tournament brought back my love for Mk . Time to grind out Johnny Cage and get my paper and pencil ready .

[@R1psArena]

What a compliment! Thank you so much!

[@TheEyeAbove]

This channel is ganna grow big this year !! I mean just watching mk1 there’s never been this much happening on screen before it’s wild !

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

I can’t wait to watch this, MK1 is knocked out of the park in my humble opinion. It’s amazing so far from the story to the characters and how the look and play.

[@FortuneTellher]

Seeing disarted finally figure out how to stop getting frozen approaching wasnet, and closing out that last 0.1 HP to win the set was so amazing. What a moment!!

[@kurtskrt]

37:15 That ghost attack from behind was absolutely nasty!

[@rozinbars7988]

This game is AMAZING! MK1 is by far the best.

Milo is new, and he did amazing. His blocks were on point! He just needs to get a better rebound combo

[@SpicyGarPar]

yall are like the first once with an mk1 tournament. I am too hyped !

[@poptarts5387]

The real pro-strat here is to upvote the video before it even begins. This is going to kill a good chunk of my "work" night, very much excited for it!!

[@stereomonotv]

Congratulations for Makoran. He was right when he said that MK11 only the beginning. And the real business will start in MK1. 😎

[@vadyazmey]

Mako is a beast with his Meleena. Love to see her top tier. Thank you for the content Rips, stay safe

[@waynemwangi4586]

I'm really glad to see you are okay r1ps, I saw Avel post that you weren't feeling well and it fills my heart with joy to hear you on the commentary. We love ya man TheRedEyeJedi

[@theriffwriter2194]

Lol. I've been playing since early launch but I just now noticed Mileena occasionally has Tartkata claws.

[@TonyRB3]

Nitara and Rain are such a completely new creative way to play a character 🍃 I’m loving this game

[@Pill-Cosby]

I wasn't really that interested in playing scorpion this time around but after watching mkjavier play him I changed my mind he looks so awesome.

[@graemeball6551]

I want to know how he pulled of the burn for me brutal , I can’t get it to work

[@shaieresmirnoff]

That air harpoon brought me back too geez best air combos. Scorpion flashy af

Scorpion was always the best

This game looks incredible. Great stream.

[@RacerNight86]

I love the fact you brothers you don't use any profanity. We really appreciate it. Don't change and thank you🤝🏾❤️💯

[@jeromebryant9999]

YES!!!!! Smoke is a ninja again. Now I HAVE to buy this game.

[@ArthurESC]

I really liked that Mileena showdown, and how she competes vs broken characters

[@beestboy2001]

Mileena is too 5 wym

[@SeanBjerke]

45:07 this Johnny Cage intro felt longer than a Kotal Kahn command grab lmao

[@L3gendok1ng]

YOOOOOOOO Javier, semi finals. His match point comeback.. oh my god man. Absolute monster 🎉🎉

[@RXConstrictor]

I can not believe it! what a great tournament and the commentators are even better. The way the guy celebrates the individual actions and laughs his head off is so infectious. I feel exactly the same way!❤❤❤ HE IS TEABAGGED HIM!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@austinrunnings9180]

Rips is just too good with the tournaments 🙌

[@thegreatnexus4207]

BEST MK REBOOT! EVER!!!!! Connection's to the older games is such a cherry on top

[@Lo54Lo]

Let's fuckin go haven't watched r1ps in a while, perfect time to come back!

[@kakolicht]

25 years ago I was able to learn a new game that fast. Today I need a couple weeks to start feeling confident that I am not only mashing buttons hoping for the best 😂

[@JordanRA]

This game is amazing. The animations/characters and stages look incredible. This is extremely fun to watch

[@getdef]

the dlc characters are going to be so sick based on just these starting ones. Holy

[@777tWill777]

Those matches between Kenshi and Smoke were insane 🗡️💨

ngl thats insane but kenshi fatality just trash

​@@farrel1744yeah man, deal under 110 damage

[@codyshane2834]

If this is day ONE, we gotta entertaining future ahead of us!

[@Pill-Cosby]

Roather needs to make a youtube account!! Word needs to get out that people want to see him play. He always plays a fun or different character and does it very well. In my opinion at least.

[@genghisthekhagan]

Appreciate the quick upload R1p! Missed the stream due to a bad connection my end. Lets go MK1!!

One of the kombat casts from the MK team explained star power properly

[@rainfareal4877]

Ooooh yes! I been waiting on this!!!

[@rahmellbrown162]

Yo this the first FIGHTING game that every character feels good to use. So far every character I used I feel like I can main and it’s fun asf. And when you realize all the combo potential then you remember you have a kameo. So good

[@iBAfterDark]

Javier coming back on 37hp against Law was insane.

Amazing tournament! Can’t wait to see all these MK1 tourneys! Congrats Makoran!

[@Owlr4ider]

Surprised to see so many Johnny Cages, especially since most if not all of them didn't even use their star power. It's scary to think just how much better Johnny Cage players will become once they learn the nuances of the character in MK1.

[@AcheliusDecimus]

The cameo combo builds in this are crazy good, and I can see great builds coming to fruition over time.

[@HalcyonEX]

Javier is looking SPICY

[@AlexStayFly20]

Roethers Rain looks sick. I downloaded these tourneys to watch at work. You guys are amazing. Thank you for helping my day go by AND give me content to watch so i can include in my gameplay

Yoo this is lit 🔥 1st tournament already the grind from R1ps_Arena

[@FujiboHeavy]

great stuff yall! Korridor paid for that tea bag against Javier. Javier came back hard. Been loving MK1, and have been learning Kung Lao online. I get beat alot but, still such a fun game!

[@DieEineMieze]

Javier choked hard in the finals, kinda disappointed

[@sugardude]

I have literally zero experience in fighting games like this and all I watched is fatalities comp(it is how I heard about MK series)and a single match of MK11. However frankly, the match didn't get me into it. Now, this was different. My knowledge in this game, let alone this genre is minimal. But I felt this game got so much diversity with those kameo(?)s. I said this already two times but again, I know very little about this game, yet thoroughly enjoyed every single match! It is surprising for me that I got this immersed in watching the pro tourney of a game I don't know about. Thanks!

[@getdef]

I didnt expect it to be as insanely intuitive as it is, @R1p

[@deetaylor334]

This game is crazy getting juggled for 10 secs might as well put down the controller and get a snack😂

[@RacerNight86]

Already nice one guys!!

[@samsterling3332]

I didn't see anyone using it in this, but if you have sareena and you opponent keeps trying to oki you, her down activation is a damage immune dp with some deceptive range that can catch people off guard
