[@meteorsmash9434]

Hey rips is it to late for me to join this tournement ?

[@MuhammadAli-xw4yc]

Hi guys why did ya'll grey out the fatality but yet allowed the brutality to be shown? A little weird that choice spoiled the immersion a little for me.

[@hydroxide520]

@@MuhammadAli-xw4yc They blurred out all the fatal blows, brutalities and fatalities to avoid demonetisation. That one brutality at 12:20 is the only one that does not need to be blurred out since Reptile's green blood is apparently KZbin-friendly and thus they can show it.

This channel has become my primary source of MK content. Thank you R1ps for the dedication and passion you put into this community and your channel it is and always will be appreciated.

[@accuser_of_the_brethren7816]

Ikr? Proper matches with elite players, excellent commentary (guys got the perfect voice for it) and clean 4k w/ barely any PC players 😊

[@malcovich_games]

The part with Reiko using Fatal Blow on Havik's punch was so tragic and yet so funny...

[@198sambrrs]

Bi-Juan took me out lmao. top tier twitch banter

[@Kmq_Misfits]

Shang is freaking awesome in This game, the story mode literally made Young Shang one of my favorites, he was just awesome. Shang has some of my favorite gameplay for sure, and he’s super fun to use👌

[@EnigmaticSkill]

Yessir more great content R1ps appreciate it !!! We gotta see your General Shao back on the scene soon 😁😁

[@ballistic2527]

Shang is a better zoner imo. Good projectiles, if a bit hard to use, hard to dodge _and_ he gets combos off of them. Easy pick, i think

[@Lmaster3000]

Hard to use? Nah

[@ballistic2527]

Eh. Many might disagree

[@samuelduncan192]

You said it rips when you said KZbin favourite absolutely love when bulk is on the mic 🎤 this man is hilarious

[@JovonPoole]

Having a nice smoke & tuning in to the Arena is my daily ritual 😅. Soon I’ll sign up & enter the arena to show my skill 😌

[@snack_bar2474]

The clan clash was hype. One of the most amazing matches I’ve seen.

[@therealking683]

Is anyone gonna talk about how scorpion looks like ghost rider?😂

[@x-ray2703]

I love this daily content ❤ Thx4thatR1P & friends 🙏🏼

Watching these as soon as my dinner gets ready 🔥

[@almightyshane]

Awesome content as always R1ps, keep em coming!

[@R1psArena]

thank you so much, brother!

[@MuhammadAli-xw4yc]

I don't know about awesome. A little soy greying out fatalities just because of views and getting money. Ironic thing is they recieve money from us fans but scared of youtube algorithim? At least we got tons of other youtube channels who actually show the fatalities and not afraid of youtube. Unsubscribed. Tweedy and sonicfox show fatalities and they have patreon so it is pathetic that this channel is doing it. Censoring Mk for views and not to piss off youtube. Just pathetic Unsubscribed today. Totally disgusted. Also that bald head dude sounds like an advert.

[@rexavier8137]

Shang Tsung is still the best zoner overall imo, but Reiko's shurikens are a really good tool for a grappler to have.

[@gigasniper9241]

Rain is even a better zoner. Just because you have the best projectile, it doesn’t follow you are best zoner.

[@mohsaic3489]

@@gigasniper9241bro do you know what an opinion is?

[@PapaBao]

Rain isn't a very good zoner though against Shang Tsung.@@gigasniper9241

[@nbayer2010]

I could watch Javier tactfully tear his opponents apart all day every day.

[@triumphoverdeath]

This has become my favorite thing to watch recently, cant wait to get good enough to try out hahahaha

[@MLGKarolol]

Great content, your commentary R1ps deserves all the likes and positive comments!

[@R1psArena]

thank you so much!

Every morning i wake up and check the fields for Rips Arena, today was a bountiful harvest

[@stangriffinstan_the_alaska9668]

So since this started I've been hooked and I don't play fighting games since Tekken 3 lol absolutely great content just subbed

[@oldmanlexington276]

Bulk I got your miniature pit fatality joke brother 🤣👍. I saw it fall completely flat on RiPs. He was probably distracted lol

[@nakiyembaflorence7699]

I do not miss these every single day

[@athegreat9970]

Let’s go Rips!!

[@sfhkss7241]

My guy said, "dirtier than Stevie Wonder's bathroom". 😭

[@codyshane2834]

Always happy to see Bulk!

[@thavillain123]

Best commentators I’ve heard in awhile

[@Not_An_EV]

Bulk is by far my favourite cohost but maybe thats because his pure British banter humour is right up my alley!

[@jonahpearson9512]

Bulk insisting on calling sub zero quai Liang is is infuriating

[@ATHTSupply]

I was randomly suggested The first MK1 Tourney by you guys and watched. I mean literally fell asleep to the accent it’s so damn soothing …. I recently tried to watch another MK1 Tourney because I just wanna watch high level MK play because I stopped being good at MK after trilogy. AND I HAD TO TURN IT OFF. I NEED THAT BEAUTIFUL ACCENT BROTHA!!! How do I watch these live??

[@thegreatkunglao8726]

These uploads keep getting better and better! Could yall do a couple tournaments for xbox? There are plenty of insane players on our platform🤑💚

[@Luke-1984]

Lovethe vids

[@beastofdarknesss5822]

Another day another r1ps arena contest of warriors...this is the way!

[@Duhstruction24]

Look forward to these videos every day lol. For patches Imo, I feel like Nrs should explore nerfing or buffing Kameo's before the main character list. And then tune whats needs to be tuned. How do I get involved w this Beautiful MK 1 action ?

[@serosh9587]

That smooth head gonna get ya demonetized lol

Yeah

[@TygressGaming]

He has tried that and KZbin restricted it. He's currently editing them and having the videos MANUALLY reviewed in order to upload them.

[@b_rz]

Shit. I think i actually like this. Thanks for the production :)

[@gigasniper9241]

Mortal Kombat needs to add a fake blood setting for youtube. Maybe make it blue as a reference to the nintendo version of MK.

[@tapoemt3995]

Subbed, liked and commented.

[@R1psArena]

this is for you, king: 👑

[@accuser_of_the_brethren7816]

What's the bigger advantage by playing Kung/Kung Kameo? Two hat throws in one or teleport? Does it give any passive buffs or anything? Every Kung main ive seen uses it as well.

[@zendayas-_-nuts]

i’ve never heard someone say “bus ass” before 😭

[@justinlawson2484]

Faysal....💯💯🔥🔥

[@ProjectCinemaReview]

18:10 was wild that final blow was supposed to end it

[@KillenKing256]

Lets go havik is awsome to watch

[@Lmaster3000]

That havik was ass. No confirms. Watch my twitch if you wanna see a dope havik

[@rfm3253]

Is there a unblurred version????

[@Wh1ffGod]

How does one participate in this?

[@_infiniterackzkhail_]

I feel like mortal kombat should add like colorful blood since they know people stream their game idk it would bring them more traffic and less work on the creators just a thought to throw in da universe🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

[@ShadyEli]

watching these scorpions with the cyrax cameo is so uninteresting.

[@almightyshane]

Baraka too

[@ShadyEli]

@@almightyshane i don’t mind baraka bc at least they fight. most interesting is johnny but i barely see any johnny unfortunately

[@almightyshane]

@@ShadyEli i love seeing johnny because he breathes life into the game not having any projectiles but he has a hype meter with the crowd cheering for him when activated…

[@scottatkins3299]

I agree Rip. Golly is the only person who is allowed to play Baraka

[@maitreping5994]

The youtube censure are so boring -_- but great update ! Keep going !

[@taimurqureshi9540]

This channel gets a lot of personality from the announcer

[@mrkarateman]

Rips looking like Oliver Riedel from Rammstein

[@AlexanderLopez-mk3ih]

Why do they blur the fatalities

[@M0R9HEU5]

👍👊

[@shamarsmiley5306]

Idk if this is new but why the Grey out of the brutality?

[@alexpearson2920]

27:30 😳

[@umbralbushido8636]

Obviously reiko is the best zoner he's the only one who can also play like a grappler

[@carronrod9411]

As a Shang main I’ll say Reiko is a slightly better zoner. His projectile is slightly faster and covers more space. Plus when it hits its three hits minimum. If the amplified catches you jumping it’s six. Just too much.

[@asrieldreemurr1918]

Probably not but that wouldn’t stop me from trying

[@nicklaus6699]

Legend scorpion, mkjavier is always use full potential and talents of scorpion and not unused them gg bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍

[@EnigmaticSkill]

Disagree. MKJavier does not use Scorpion full potential he's only getting value off the chip to win shenanigans. You want a talented and full potential Scorpion to watch. Watch Avirk Scorpion. He's the real day 1 Loyalist and Legend Scorpion.

[@nicklaus6699]

​​​@@EnigmaticSkillI'm going to watch it friend thx for suggestion I need to see that person potential in scorpion and by the way I think this what you said is an advantage for mkjavier to use scorpion with this way ,don't you think 🤔?

[@EnigmaticSkill]

@@nicklaus6699 Correct. This is the only advantageous strat MKJavier got going for himself. Avirk plays Scorpion/Cyrax and does this occasionally but he's actually more optimistic about landing heavy damage combos in this variation.

[@nicklaus6699]

@@EnigmaticSkill I see , let me look at Avirk match ,

No way R1P is blurring out the fatal blows and brutalities now?? Come on that's one of the best parts of the game.

[@blueragnarok284]

Blame KZbin and their baby mode guidelines. R1p gets demonetized if he doesn't sadly

[@gorilla2371]

It’s official I’m hooked on the content 🫠

[@brwnipoundr8791]

As it goes

[@theprinceeso1538]

I hate it ffs stop 😂😂😂

[@Gunsblazin94]

I feel like they just need to make stuff like multiple lightning grabs, and two forward 3, 4s scale like a mfer, and Raiden damage is fine

[@musicxxa6678]

baraka is too damn broken. imagine scorpion launching opponents with his spear spin. he would still be not as good as baraka.

[@hamzadinc6671]

Helal lan faysal

[@jlwwillis]

Who is the guest commentator? 🤐🤐

[@abdullahharoon253]

Ngl, scorpion seeming more and more stale the further I watch and hear fro. Pro scorpion players. Avirk, murko both disappointed with him and mkjavier who was very dominant with scorpion in mk11 does not seem to have the same presence using him anymore. Definitely needs some staggers or maybe some mix up options.

[@jefforymorgan5690]

[@raycornett5854]

Dang the game screwed that kinglao

[@SeanBjerke]

19:56 what is happening during Cyrax’s throw to make this combo extension happen?

[@oliverreyes334]

ex the throw.

[@SeanBjerke]

@@oliverreyes334ah ok yes, i see the 2 meters spent. Is that a Cyrax-unique thing?

[@TheCheekPunisher]

@@SeanBjerke Yes, some characters get free extensions off throws like Baraka/Johnny away throw plus Cyrax

[@SeanBjerke]

@@TheCheekPunisher yes i knew you could interrupt some back throws with kameos - but i didn’t know you could amplify forward throws!

[@TheCheekPunisher]

@@SeanBjerke Oh, the only ones I know of the can be amp’d are Cyrax and Jax, but Jax’s doesn’t offer a combo extension, just extra damage, haven’t played around with the other cameo’s.

[@INTHEFIELD777]

Every time the co-host dude opens his mouth it automatically enters dad joke territory material.. but just a hair short. Maybe closer to “uncle jokes”.. Your uncle that thinks he’s funny.. but isn’t. Makes me appreciate Rips even more than I already do 😅

why did you guys censor the brutalities..?
