I actually dig Kollector's design a lot, both visually and the very unique moveset. I really hope he gets more appearances in the future because right now almost all of Shao Kahn's allies are very BIG LOUD IN YOUR FACE kind of villains where as Kollector has more of the sneaky man in the shadows vibe. So at least he has kind of a unique space for now. He's got potential.

2023 edit - I plan to remake this list once all of Mortal Kombat 1’s DLC is out and available Thanks to everyone who watches this video and an even bigger thank you if you watched it to the end. This video has been in production for over a month. I’ve played the 11 main Mortal Kombat games the most these past few weeks than I’ve ever dreamed I would. Analysing every characters movesets, their backstories, their tower endings, everything. Then to write the script but keeping it within reasonable watch time also was difficult and took about a week to complete. 8100 words describing and ranking all 99 fighters. Then came the editing, 2 weeks of working full time and then coming home to work extra editing this humongous video. I had so many clips from so many games that it really felt overwhelming and I couldn’t have gotten through it without your support in the comments of my community posts. To say I’m burnt out from Mortal Kombat would be an understatement. So again, thank you all so much! And more regular uploads will commence shortly. Keep smiling, stay hydrated and see you in the next video!

Also, both Shang Tsung & Raiden were inspired by characters from Big Trouble in Little China which alongside Enter The Dragon were the 2 movies that hugely influenced the first few games in the MK franchise. Shang Tsung = David Lo-Pan. Raiden = Lightning, one of The 3 Storms.

I think the fact that Bi han was completely innocent when it comes to the slaughtering of the Shirai ryu makes me like him even more. Simply because of the fact that his entire existence is caused by one huge misunderstanding. And that one misunderstanding was the catalyst to one of the biggest rivalries in fighting game history. It all just makes the significance of his character much more appealing to me since he essentially represents the bitterness and anger that came from Quan Chi's meddling as he became a servant for the person who ruined his life.

Love the list and time put into it, I had honestly forgotten about quite a few characters so it was a nice walk down memory lane to rediscover some. The only thing that threw me off was the addition of the DC and other dlc type characters cuz I don't consider them mk fighters since they come from their own franchises. It threw me off cuz it made it seem like you actually thought these characters were made by the mk creators but still love the video regardless

I feel like Shang Tsung is my favorite. He's the right way to do a "betray everyone" type character. He constantly gave off the feeling that he was getting to be a better person in Aftermath. Seeing him constantly evolving as the game goes on during the last chapter makes you feel like you're witnessing a universe crumble. Shang has so many good qualities and a fun moveset that I legitimately prefer him over Shao Khan when it comes to the villains.

mileena being the highest placed woman on the list is so deserved. she’s such a developed character i can’t wait to see more of her in the next storyline of the game. she is the female face of the game.

I didn’t like her new story from mortal kombat 9 and onwards. They reck her and kitana. She wasn’t created 10,000 years after kitana but instead during Kitana’s infancy. And thus they grew together even tho they didn’t get along very well. Other than that yeah Mileena has a great arc and is a cool character. Definitely deserved a top 10 spot.

Out of all the new characters from 9, 10 and 11, I really like Erron Black, he just feels like he belongs in the franchise, I always want to see more about his back story, and the fact that he has a history with Skarlet just seems interesting, the thing that gets me the most, is his quotes about his childhood and past, it makes it sound like he was horribly beaten by his parents as a child, Outworld effectively gave him life and purpose, and that is why he chooses to stay. I could see Erron Black taking on an Anti-Hero role akin to that of DC's Deadshot. Erron Black is easily in my top 5. 1. Sub Zero 2. Mileena 3. Ermac 4. Erron Black, 5. Johnny Cage

She was more of an opportunist than a traitor I think Tanya was pretty smart with all the events leading to Armageddon. She was a survivor and and she new her realm was pretty much doomed. I liked how she became an ambassador for the deadly alliance similar to her fathers role and how she new the best decision was to align with the dragon king when he was brought back from the dead after the deadly alliance and heroes all were killed. She new how to play the game and managed to survive until Armageddon which can’t be said for the majority of the cast.

One thing you didn't mention about Erron Black: He's 150 years old. Somehow he's been blessed (or cursed?) with long life by Shang Tsung. Or at least, that's what his MKX ending states. And his "sands of time" bombs play into that theme also.

I absolutely love this list and the amount of effort you've clearly put in. Really enjoyable to watch. The only thing I would say is that I think you underplayed Sindel. She was probably one of the most complex characters in the 3D era, with the revelation that she was forced to be Shao Kahn's wife and her reunion with daughter Kitana and aiding the forces of good. Mk11 obviously undid this work by making her a generic evil sorceress, the outrage from the fandom reflecting her popularity.

Everyone is a gangsta untill scorpion say "GET OVER HERE" 🔥

Fire God Liu Kang is definitely my favorite version of the character. Reptile is my go to in every game he’s in, his force bubble helps me out quite a bit. Kind of awesome that my favorite character Kuai Liang has now become Scorpion in MK1.
