@@elperrodelautumo7511 i think it's totally valid to criticize Deadly Alliance in the 20+ years since its release. the facts are that it hasn't aged super well graphically or gameplay-wise. and Deception totally blew it out of the water in terms of content now all that being said, you bring up a great point. If Deadly Alliance had flopped or sucked, MK would have been a dead franchise. When it was released in 2002, i remember it was a massive jolt of revitalization to the series, which has only gotten better and better with each game (minus MK vs DC which sucked ass)

Goddamn Kung Lao's ending is actually badass. He drops his arrogant persona and goes on a revenge quest to take Shang Tsung's head off his shoulders, for his one and only brother in arms. His revenge sated, he then returns to the monk life, knowing he can unleash the warrior at a moments notice

Deadly Alliance is one of the weirdest games in the franchise for me. I remember being a kid and watching my brother insert the disc. We waited excitedly as the game loaded up and were blown away to see a fully rendered opening cutscene! And then… Lui Kang died. We were shocked, and the experience left me scared of playing the game. I don’t know if it was because of the mysterious music or narrator, but there was an overall feeling of uneasy to the scene. Lui Kang’s death didn’t help with this feeling either! Eventually, I began playing the game after getting over my fear. It was so exciting to see the series transition into a fully 3D experience. The new combat system and graphics blew my mind. Even better was the krypt, which we spent many hours exploring and unlocking awesome collectibles. It was the Mortal Kombat gams I grew up with, so I’ll always hold a fondness for it. However, as I’ve gotten older, I slowly realized that the game kind of sucks. The character roster sucks in all honesty, with basically every new character being lame in my opinion. Furthermore, the Conquest mode was boring and forgettable, a far cry from what it would evolve into. When you really look at it, there isn’t much content. And don’t even get me started on the horrible fatalities, most of which seemingly go on forever. But even with these issues, I still love this game! It did so much for the series and its significance can’t be underestimated.

And Li Mei had a great story, it was just that her costumes were average at best and her movesets didn’t stand out like Deception did. Overall I believe DA did newer 3D era introductions the best. Not to mention no one was a blatant copy of someone else besides Frost, and even she stands out in her own ways.

Interesting that you'd call this entry "forgettable", but to each their own. Personally, I didn't put that much time into DA, I always liked Deception more, but I have a soft spot for DA mostly due to the expanded lore they give to the characters. Overall, I think you're doing an amazing job on your videos man. I think it's dope to hear fresh opinions on these games whether people have never played them or barely at all. Also, no worries when you're blathering on, you're still speaking your mind in the end. Keep up the great work!

I love how you covered pretty much everything. I didn't play much of DA since I got Deception first, then after Armageddon and Shaolin Monks, I picked up DA. it was definitely a step down but I still loved the stages and music. Looking forward to your Deception coverage, its my favourite in the franchise. I think that Konquest did great at expanding the world showing what the different realms are like, even though they couldn't do too much, as it's just a side mode.

I preordered Deception with the sweet Subzero limited edition pack, but could just never get in to it the same way. I know it gives more fatalities and improves a few things, but I always prefer going back to Deadly Alliance than Deception or Armageddon

I played Deadly Alliance to the bone. I was like 12-13 so many weekends/summer nights were spent with my cousins and sister playing this or Tekken Tag. Deception is full of characters no one gave af about or only recently got a good design in MK1. DA had some misses too but Kenshi, Li Mei, Nitara, and Frost were hits or better in comparison. Armageddon is just corny and a shell of itself. Deception had a little corniness too, Death traps and Harakiri were mostly jokes. DA kept the jokes in the krypt and it's such a dark game that doesn't go over the top, perfect vibe for the series.

Deception had a lot more to offer like the Krypt, Konquest and Chess/Puzzle Kombat and I appreciate it, but Deadly Alliance did so much better that makes me feel even more fond for it. The tone, roster, arenas, Quan Chi’s announcing voice, I borderline think the OST is better even if it’s significantly less. Idk man DA just hits different. If they would have taken the few misses out of the roster on here (looking at you Hsu Hao) and gotten ppl like Jade, Havik, Kabal and Hotaru, or have the Tournament Edition guys on there like Sareena and Sektor, then this game would have my ideal roster almost. 😭

"Fun" fact: The neck stretch fatality is Ed Boon's least favorite. And yeah, Li Mei was arguably the series' most forgettable woman until MK1 offered her some much-needed identity. Fingers crossed she's got decent story presence, too. Gotta agree that Frost is also a very weak character, I don't really understand why she's among the more popular 3D era characters. I hadn't realized how depressing so many characters' endings are, though. Cage's backstory here is really ironic. For one final note, I lost it at "eat a bowl of my penis flakes".

Kronika may have had a big presence in the story, but it didn't make her good in my book. And I don't see how MK12 (or MK1) gave Li Mei any identity.

1:30:32 LMAO Ed Boon doing the ol myspace Tom pose

At the time of Deadly Alliance release, I was starting to know the Gamecube in person (I only saw it in magazines), and because I was used to n64 graphics, I was blown away by Deadly Alliance graphics. But the gameplay felt totally alien, Scorpions Spear and Sub-Zero ice ball was there, but much less effective. The 3d arena was nothing new, but it was for MK (MK4 has 3d arenas, but the side step is much more an extra detail that nobody used than an active part of the gameplay like Mk5, 6 and 7). My feelings were mixed at the time. Today, I appreciate it a lot more (and I like it more than Deception, except for the adventure part, which is amazing on Deception and only an extended tutorial on Deadly Alliance), I liked that they removed Babalities and Friendships, continuing the MK4 trend to be more serious. The only problem is only ONE fatality per character, weird decision, really. If at least, they put the effort to make those single fatalities astonishing, ok, but it's not the case, most of them are strange or generic. But gameplay, graphics, sounds, it's very cool, nice game.

This game brought mortal kombat back from the dead, this and deception being the two I spent the most time in but I played them all. when this game was out it was fire and all my friends enjoyed it, grinding and seeing what all you could unlock from the krypt was pretty awesome also.

I’ve just finished watching this whole video and I didn’t expect to relate to you quite so much. I’m 18 years old and have wanted to work on KZread for a while now too. Unfortunately I’m only able to edit from my phone and that limits my capabilities, you really did speak to me in your unscripted segment though, keep up the great work man.

Good luck on your journey, if all you have is a phone to edit then become the best phone editor, never give up. Thank you for the kind words

My first mk game as a kid. Holds a special place in my heart watching my brother and his friends play against each other

Deadly alliance is NEVER forgotten

Thank you

Nah, I'll say Mortal Kombat 4/Gold is forgettable. Played the game via emulation again recently after like 20+ years and I see why the family barely remembers it. Really just a watered down MK3 with a 3D skin on it. I had fun going back but hoo boy is it very "meh" to me.🤣

You underestimate the quality of your own content, nobody usually enjoys sitting there and watching their own videos, sure some things can be better but in reality your content is a lot better than most Mortal Kombat content creators.

Well....I kinda got what I wanted

What happened at the Kitana segment? there's no audio.

I watched deception and this video. So far like the content and plan on watching more.however bonus part earned my subscribe. P.s. funny thing is I fell asleep watching this after getting off work and eat , though I didn’t wake up to video. I rewatched it from qui chi and found that part hilarious.

I personally love this crypt style and being as much to it as there is. 676 coffins. Insane. And the animation each time makes you just hope for something good like a wheel spin. I wish they would bring this style crypt back for a game.

That Hsu Hao segment was pretty raw bro

Lmao definitely not forgettable. Many many many memories with this game. I love it more than Deception.
