I really hope that if they bring Sareena back in a modern MK game, the Knife teleport is a part of her core kit, like meter burning the knife makes you teleport and gives you an extension.

Funny thing is, Sareena was only playable in 2 games...she plays completely differently in each of them and she's arguably the best character in both games lol, one of them is Armageddon, the other is Tournament Edition, which is a port of Deadly Alliance on the GBA, in Tournament Edition, what makes her so strong is primarily her weapon moves, which work as special moves in that game.
I remember Sareena in MKA very well, even in the Single Player modes you could already see how strong she was with how she could throw her knives 4 times in a row and get a full screen combo off of them. She was powerful indeed.
So what I'm hearing is I can say "Stand back and peep the light show" as Green lantern and not get folded?

If Sareena returns in MK12, her teleport knife glitch should be a regular special move. I like when glitches and bugs became official special/super moves in later games. As someone said, 'sometimes the best inventions came for an accident' Like the combos in Street Fighter 2

Nitpick: sf2 combos weren't a glitch. Special cancels were. Jump in > sweep was 100% intended to combo; otherwise it would have worked like in sf1 where you can't hit someone in hitstun

Yup. Everyone else just tackles nine and up. It's so awesome seeing the stuff before too
I played MKA when I was young with zero knowledge of tier lists or high level play, even I could tell that Sareena was so overpowered in that game. Her knife toss was ridiculous. She was my favourite in that game though, I wish they'd bring her back as she's a really cool and underrated character.
I remember winning with Sub Zero in (Vanilla) MK3 was surprisingly easy. Never noticed the reason why before...
MK2 kung lao's victory stance is so damn badass
The 3d games are this bizarre anomaly for me, because I had them, I played them a lot. But at the very same time, I know so very little about them, like who's "really" good, (as in on a competitive level) as a result, whenever you talk about those games, it's just....really intriguing because it puts the spotlight on an aspect I never knew about.
One of the very few times I played MKA online as a kid, I ran into a Sareena. It was scary af
It would be cool if you made tier list videos for each game that went over every character in each game and where they sat in the tier list and why
MK:Armageddon came out around 2007. I was there in the online community from 2009-2011/2012. And let me tell you, as bad as Serena was, nearly every other character and created character was just as bad or worse. It was fun at times, but it was way too toxic for ones health to stay on there for too long. The place was a salt mine. It was a broken mess, but when things went well it was a pretty fun game, it’s just that no one had any integrity. If you got caught in an infinite or they abused a super broken move on you or a glitch, they’ll just say it was your fault for getting caught and to stop crying. If you wanted to succeed in ranked matches or the leader boards you needed to join the dark side and abuse all the broken stuff. I tried not to play like that, and I was pretty damn good, even got the attention of a solid clan who asked me to join them called DS and another called RCW I think. There were a bunch of others that came and went but during my time there I think DS was the top clan. And then ofcourse there were hackers that started coming in the later part of the games life cycle who ruled the players like tyrants. Say anything they don’t like they freeze your game and boot you from the room, sometimes they would do it anyway just for the troll. It was bad folks. Though I do wish they could do another 3D MK. In today’s gaming environment, they’ll probably patch any broken nonsense ASAP., cuz it was a different era back then, no such thing as patches for the PS2.
So much K&M content lately, keep up the good work!
Seeing all the comments about Sareena makes me happy. I love her story and shes such a cool character
Love watching ur videos and commentary on tournaments , genuinely interesting to watch keep up the work guys 🙂

@@PNDKM I understand fully, and I’d never expect to rush you guys or anything. MK vs DC is just so interesting as an almost “vagabond” title within the series, even though it created one of netherealm’s most successful franchises, and continued Mortal Kombat as it is now. It’s important to the history at least. Also most people don’t know about the competitive scene, which I was a fan of back in the day.

Wow….I mained Unmasked Subzero in MK3 back then cuz he was my fave…never knew how broken he could be cuz I was in elementary school 🥺
DNF Duel is so much fun! This video is equally amazing!
Of course the Klassic Kombatants are broken in UMK3; _they're playing an entirely different game._
I love your videos and makes me really wish they had an MK classic collection for current gen consoles or something like that. I don't mind dusting off my old consoles, but it'd be nice to just have to have 1 plugged in. Lol
MK Gold Sektor is the guy that Happy Chaos' girlfriend tells him not to worry about.
"I don't know if I'm cheating with this first one..." you are but MK Gold Sektor is so hilarious that I'll allow it.
I remember that Dairou was very broken in MK Deception that he was nerfed in the GameCube port and in MK Unchained. Anyway, good to see info about MKvsDC A guilty pleasure for me. It had great costumes for the MK cast. Like for example Liu Kang, Kitana and Sub Zero

If you ever wanna know about clan and just online stuff for MKvsDC. I'm your guy. It was my first mk online game (as you've stated). It was during my middle/high school years and I loved it. Sub-zero had an infinite corner combo, flash and Superman infamous infinites. Sadly, the servers shut down in 2014. *Sad Face*
i feel like sektor was made by the "zoning is cheating" guy
Yo that knife recovery is absolutely ridiculous
Damn, Sarena and Marth should hang out. Those grab ranges are comical.
That outro song is fucking amazing and I'm mad I don't know it
I adore the 3D era of MK. Just nostalgic for me and the lateral movement added more to the game IMO.
I would love more MK vs DC stuff. I know that game is the black sheep but its a lot of fun, and interesting because its so strange/different. A full tier list breakdown would be amazing too.

HONEY WAKE UP PNDK&M POSTED
I loved the projectile throw glitch in MKA. I knew since the game came out Sareena was always going to be considered God tier.
“ The Trilogy version adds the Aggressor bar, which fills up during the fight and grants a temporary bonus to damage and speed once full. If the opponent blocks your attacks, your meter fills up faster, meaning that a turtling playstyle will give the opponent the Aggressor bonus more often. “ I can see this benefitting the aggressive/competitive play style nowadays .
YOOOO NEW VIDEO ON MY BIRTHDAY LETS GOOOO
I always wondered why Wonder Woman was considered top tier in IJ2 but I never really seen her online or place high in tourneys.
Hope to see an MK Unchained character
