Daily reminder that mk1 should have just been a 2v2 tag game

@Latino_Burrito

Күн бұрын

I disagree they shouldn’t even have bothered with tag/assist systems period😭 stick to 1v1. That’s my personal opinion at least, don’t get me wrong I can tolerate and even have some fun with Kameos, but at the end of the day I just enjoy true, traditional 1v1 best. I don’t want teammates, I don’t want assists, I don’t want to worry about mix and matching my kameo or whatever I just wanna pick my main and fight. I know being creative and mix and matching is the fun for some people, but everyone at this point knows the top tier kameos so obviously those get the most picked and it gets boring to play AND watch. I also just don’t wanna learn every kameo just let me learn my character. That’s obviously on me, but at the same time I think it just goes to show I’m not a big fan of the mechanic. Again, I can tolerate it, even force myself to enjoy it at times but do I enjoy it over traditional mk? No, hell no😭

I'm also a lifelong fan. Started with MK in the arcades, every home console port, all the way through the 3D and era up to present. It definitely saddens me that I haven't truly loved an MK game since X. For better or for worse that's the last time I remember genuinely being exciting not just play, but also watch, learn from tech videos, and anticipate who was gonna show off a previously slept on character or variation. I hope I can regain that excitement again one day about MK 😢

Here though with something like this, having 591 recurring streams compared to the thousands your competitors have over is only going to hurt the pockets in the long run. Mortal Kombat isn't a monopoly, they have SF and Tekken to contend with. And even though both of those games have been out, they clearly attract and maintain more players than MK.

@@DondonII that was the most lucid, well thought of response to anything I’ve ever posted on any channel. Not only did you make a legitimate counter argument to my comment but you also made me question my own position on the subject. I too find it hard to see any situation where Ed or WB can continue in the direction they are currently taking with MK1 and have any hope of retaining much more of the fanbase. Tekken 8 and SF6 both stumbled on their way as well but they were able to recover far quicker than MK1. I say that feciously because MK1 has yet to recover from several issues that plagued it from day 1. I find it utterly ridiculous that a KP2 and story expansion are still in the pipeline to be released given the fact that the player base has been reduced to a shell of what it has been in previous titles, as you said streams are almost non existent because the fans find the game boring, and the players find it boring. Adding more characters and content is the last thing they need to focus on. Fixing the game itself first then adding more content should be the way they go. Like I said earlier I have not seen a response like yours that was well thought out and full of facts in a long time and it was refreshing to see.

Kameos are literally the worst thing to be added because it just makes people play one meta character johnny cage and then never change because why play a character that you like when you can play a character you can easily win with 😂

MK1 in general is awful to watch. They really lost the plot with this game. I wish WB would just let NRS go. That way, if we ever did get another MK game, it won't be made by the current developers.

The problem is that: A) - you’re expecting rationality from a lot of extremely irrational people. & B) - you are expecting things to change from a company that has outright refused to do so at every single opportunity given to them. And because NRS won’t change, then sadly the poor quality content made directly by them won’t change. This franchise is dead, and they’re willfully burning it up the ground. It’s time to let Mortal Kombat die and move something else. Because at this point, it’s painfully obvious that those working at NRS, including Crazy Ed himself, are closed minded and simply don’t care. The only way this franchise can ever truly be salvaged is if they give the rights back to John Tobias since it’s *his* creation and not Ed’s, fire Ed Boon completely and his entire team, remove *all* games from Deadly Alliance up until now from canon and *only* keep MK 1-4 plus Mythologies as canon, and do a completely new story with John writing it. But that’s just never going to happen. So, unfortunately, we are at an impasse with this colossal mess of a franchise. And the numbers are showing quite clearly that it’s beyond dead.

Won’t be playing this in 10 years like MKX. 9 years after release MKX is still hype to watch and play.

Mk1 is a let down I gave up after 1 month... It was fun but got repetitive... On the final... I always thought they should got rid of fatal blows but comparing thus tournament to when sonic cane back against ninja in that final when ninja got 3 blows in one round.. That was way more entertaining than mk1.... Kameos make everything too safe

Was too busy watching Champions of the Realms.

I think NRS will not change his "yes man" policy cause they don't care about the competitive scene like other companies. They know 2025 will announce the new game for 2026 so mk1 sales are already done. Next game is their priority now. Great video btw.

I feel bad for the pros and content creators putting their time into this game.

Great video and content as always. You hit the nail on the head yet again. The only reason why I even bothered watching Final Kombat this past weekend was because I enjoy the SonicFox and NinjaKilla rivalry but mainly to see if another character besides Johnny or Peacemaker would win. I was so disappointed when people that didn’t use those characters lost. I even got excited when I watched an Ashrah player win the LCQ. After this season of DLC is done I’m going to just let the game collect dust in my PC library. I’m just gonna do the combo trials (yet again) and once I’m done with them I’ll be uninstalling the game immediately. I have never played MK competitively but it has always been the game I enjoyed playing outside of the games that I actually do play competitively. Keep up the good work and I will continue to support you and your content. Idgaf how the MK community sees you. All that matters to me is how I see you and to me you’re one of the unsung heroes within that community.

Ever since Inj2 NRS has become incredibly lazy in their design, now they will reduce a characters hp by 50 hit points and call it a day

EWC qualifier for street fighter 6 had 8 different characters in top 8. which made it SUPER FUN TO WATCH. MK1 is absolute sleep potion to watch.

Star Wars The Acolyte Episode 3 was better to watch than final kombat.

Just play the fucken game and stfu or quit dude. Who's gonna fault pros with money on the line to squeeze out every advantage possible. If you cant find fun in this game, playing a variety of fighters with ur friends, having fun fight nights, or playing in KL....just fucken quit please.

Sad part is, I wouldn't want Khameleon nerfed. She is the only kameo that people tend to use her entire kit and the way people play changes depending on which form she is currently in. No other kameo can say that. It's unsafe move into special and every single person plays this way. And that in and of itself is not an issue. The problem, is that they have several other moves in their arsenal. Yet they are never ever used. The main character isn't even the main character. The kameo doesn't even matter. The kameo move is what is being selective, then everything forms around that one singular move.

Great video, Tom. The first competitive fighting game match I saw was you vs Perfect Legend in MK9. It was a fun game back then.

Tom I fully agree with you, but kameos shoulda never been a thing.

They just need to stop doing guess characters it's just not fun at this point I'm sure the community wouldn't mind a whole mk roster

Because the games problems are beyond the kameos. Pretty sure Tom made a few videos on that as well. Even if nrs somehow fixes the kameos to all be on the same level, the game would still have problems without the mechanics that assist games have.... that mk1 doesn't. The whole game needs rehaul

Rewind always plays someone different and makes that character cool. We should have: Jax, Jackie, Noob, Cyrax and other playable characters. Why would you reduce Jax to a cameo?

I absolutely agree with you 150%! I just made a video talking about how I felt about Final Kombat last night and it essentially mirrored everything you said here. So out of 513 possible teams that they could have chose from, the competitors only chose 2 teams for 95% of the entire top 8... With Homelander there are 532 potential teams to play with... But even then only 2 teams are viable for pro competition. Ridiculous... absolutely ridiculous. They really need to bring the other characters to the level of Johnny and Peacemaker to where they can stand on their own. They also just need to redesign the Kameo characters so they can match the recharge rate of Khameleon and have the same amount of tools that she gives to the characters.

I could not WAIT for ur take on final kombat 🤣

It’s honestly sad. 2024 and it’s essentially the same 💩 since 2019. I’ve already paid for these characters, so after Takeda I’m done with it. 2 games in a row in 6 years. Just 💩 after 💩 Won’t be buying a Kombat Pack 2 or even another installment until they do some serious house cleaning.

Reminds me of the good old mkx Tanya top 8 days. How come Cyrax didn't show? Wasn't he buffed lately? Also, the closing statement really is the saddest bit. It really feels like most people can't conceive that criticism comes from a place of love for the franchise. Most content creators I've seen who don't have surface level criticism towards NRS, always mention how much they love the franchise. Often including mk9 and mkx.

I love mk so much, but this is the first time I've been so uninterested in an MK game, and I went on to Tekken. MK11 and MKX are my favorite MK games, but MK1 is beyond trash, and T8 is probably the best fighting game I've played. T8 has so much content, and I never fight the same characters in consecutive matches. Most of the time, on mk1, people get saved by khameleon and Sareena before somebody says im trash. I've reached God lvl whenever I did play.

I miss the 3D Era sometimes tbh.

makes me feel better about missing out on the Sub skin.

I was at work and tooned in when i could, but i couldn't tell what part of the tourney i was watching. like peacekeeper and johnny cage every set is wild lol

Everything mentioned in this video is, in my opinion, what is starting to become prevalent everywhere. Gaslighting the already corrupt powers in order to stay popular and make a profit, while the true people get to watch their favorite franchises fail. As a Star Wars fan as well, it is kind of sad lol

Bro when I spent my money ($120) on the preorder and played the first demo they released, I knew I had fk’ed up buying this game… I haven’t played this shii since the first season. Ion get how they can mess up a game this bad. The game feels, looks, and plays like a group of 🌈 people made it. All the male characters look sus except Baraka, Reiko, Johnny, and Shao. Mileena is 🌈. Tanya is 🌈. Khamillion is a transsexual. Janet Cage is trans/Stephanie Brownback. Invasions is THE worst online game mode I’ve ever played, and na I’m not exaggerating, that shii sucks so bad. You only get color palettes instead of skins for rewards man this game is pure ssa… and why they chose to add a Kameo system no one asked for is beyond me. At this point just throw the whole dam studio away, hire everyone back from midway and start this shii over from scratch.💯

Thank you for making this video!

i didnt buy this game. OG GAMER SINCE ATARI AND ALL OTHER CONSOLES IM 35, one of first 20 games I played was Pong & Duck Hunt point being ive played all the consoles and all games basically especially the huge ones like FF7 DBZ TEKKEN MK METAL GEAR SOLID TWISTED METAL ETC ON LAUNCH. MK is ONE VS ONE, you vs me. NOT THIS TAG TEAM WWE HARDY BOYZ VS THE DUDLEY BOYZ VS EDGE & CHRISTIAN ISHH. Thats why I didnt buy it. Im a very new small streamer and Id only stream this is someone by some small miracle of kindess gifted it for me, and this is coming from a hardcore MK fan.

Now this is the Tom i miss, unapologetic, vulgar, brutally honest

mk9 was the last mk i thought was any good. its all been downhill since then.

When you were talking about the “Yes man” part in the video, I thought of the homelander scene where he asked the Deep (trueunderdawg) to blow A-Train (uncaged???).

Such a turn off to keep seeing the no variety in these Tournaments smh

The hypest set was when Ninjakilla chose Lu Kang but it was too late
