Despite releasing 12 years previous to Mortal Kombat 1, Mortal Kombat 9 outdoes virtually everything that MK1 attempted to do. Mortal Kombat 9 released in 2011 and got great reviews from critics and fans alike, and is widely considered to be one of the best Mortal Kombat games ever.

Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed! I just finished my second year of college and I’m on summer break, so I’m gonna be uploading much more frequently, consider subbing if you wanna see! (MKX vid soon)
I can't lie I have all the MK games on PC and I still play MK9 the most simply due to the Tag Ladder mode. It's the only MK I can play with my gf where I'm not just either beating her ass constantly or else letting her win 😅
Original Trilogy Athmosphere + 3D Era games Story/Lore + MK9 Roster/Costumes/Concept + MKX gameplay + Shaolin Monks style conquest as the extra mode = the perfect MK game
So fucking true actually I really hope they do better with mk2
The original trilogy's atmosphere is truly all its own, and it's honestly impeccable. I can't think of anything that compares.
Mk11 lighting and graphics
@@andrew1upskustomization and towers from mk11 were flawless
And create a fighter, plus other mini modes.
MK9 had the ACTUAL 2v2 mode that the abhorrent Kameo system in MK1 attempts to be.

MK9 and MKX felt like games that were made with love and care by people who actually were fans of the og MK games while MK11 and MK1 feel like mass produced AAA slop
Facts
I liked Mk11, funny enough. It was better than Mk1
True but mk9 still had a trashy story and the plot was garbage and beyond awful
@@seankelsey2487 Good joke, mate.
I've only played a little bit of Mortal Kombat X and 11 but I enjoyed what I played in small bursts. I personally have to be in the mood for it as I usually play different games. But I'll always appreciate the Mortal Kombat series
Honestly I want MK9 remastered. Same game, just upgrade the graphics. Imo this was by far the best MK the last 20 years...if not the best ever.
Same
how much would I give for mk9 remastered with good multiplayer
It will probably be chopped up into dlc and online only
I want that too but they also need to add trades (no p1 adventage) and make pokes minus on block like mk1. but yes, mk9 best mk ever nonetheless
They will release half the characters and then make you pay for them
12 Reasons why mk9 is good 1. The roster 2. The story 3. The designs 4. The soundtrack 5. The design's 6.The dlc 7. The introduction to X-Rays 8. The content 9. The throw back secret bosses 10. The voice acting 11. The gameplay 12. The fatalitys
the story sucks, everything else is super peak. But tbf people like the story alot so i picking at the plotholes and dumb inconsistencies there was much here valued. MK1 has a better story (until the end where its even worse) but it has nothing else that beats MK9 lmfao
13. Babalities, because why not have them? 14. The vibrant graphics 15. Quick, and more impactful X-ray’s 16. Sexy girls
@@InTheKitchenWristStirFry The voice acting is worse than MK1, according to me
In what world a roster of like five characters, two of which are from DLCs, is good?

Cyber SubZero's ending having no dialogue made it feel like an interpretive arthouse film lol. I wonder what was going on there

On Noob Saibot "Nobody knows where he came from but it's likely that Quan Chi revived him" The very next line from Noob's ending says that he was resurrected by Quan Chi 😂
Yeah lol
@@steele1 Noob Saibot's real name is Bi-Han. The old sub-zero. Once sub zero was killed, he was ressurected by Quan Chi into Noob Saibot. The new sub zero in this game is Kuai Liang. Fun fact: Noob Saibot is just the names of Boon and Tobias flipped. Boon - Noob, Saibot - Tobias.
@@esveesvis it a fun fact if everyone knows that fact already
This guy is barely an Mk fan lol.
Mk9 had everything Combos, Kombat, fatalities, great roster, fanservice, lots of game content and a good story mode
lol you’re delusional get mk9 glizzy out yo mouth. You were doing good up until you said great roster, fan service and content. The content is no different from what mkx or mk11 had to offer.
The person that made this video hated on Sonja's design in the game but I loved it lol
I give MK9 nothing but praise. One of my favorite aspects of it are the endings, most if not all of which are simply really cool. I just love shit like the irony of Johnny turning into a monk (as well as the Seido namedrop). It's another place MK1 fumbled, because instead of fun "what if" endings it tries an "epilogue to the story mode" approach which is fucking boring because there's no variety and zero closure for the sake of the status quo. You don't find out what the characters did, you find out what they _want_ to do, and the towers also now exist in this weird bubble with no connection to the rest of the game. Even the two guest endings so far amount to "I WASN'T HERE.... BUT NOW I AM. GUESS I'LL GO KILLIN AGAIN!" Compare that to Alex Murphy becoming what amounts to the god of law enforcement or the Joker living out Shang Tsung's greatest fantasy.
My favorite mortal kombat games are mk9 and mkx
i miss the running mechanics man 😔
@@ST4LK1INGFENIXyeah running is awesome
Me to the run was the best thing add to MKX
Same
Doing combos in x felt so good you needed to figure out match up no crushing blows no spamming pokes.. sure there was pokes in all of them but 9 and x made it feel good and everyone had tools to counter things for everyone… shame what mk1 is
Mk 9 is definitely the game they need on ps4 and 5 platforms. If mk9 had a bigger roster it'd be gg. Mk 9 10/10
Playable on Xbox Series X and Xbox one X which I have those

Cronika was the worst thing that ever happened to MK. It felt like a MCU pull. MK has godly lore and they threw it all away for that bullish.
My main issue with Kronika is that she’s one of those characters that should be unbeatable, but somehow is beaten due to plot.
@@xavierhouston4650 no lies detected. Also to fumble Evil Raiders was a crime.
Understatement. Evil Raiders would’ve been a cold story line.
Kronika was the worst villain in MK history. An all powerful TITAN who gets her ass kicked by Liu Kang... Also her entire plot was dumb... Shang Tsung was a much better villain than Kronika.
Mk don’t got godly lore
To think we used to be excited for MK 12 embarrasses me. Ed Boon and NRS are nothing more than clowns. Hollowed out shells of what they used to be.

@@abcdoooabcd yeah it's still a amazing game it's just nowhere near as good as the older MK games i promise you.
Taking offense to some of the female character costumes, as you lust after boraka's blades lol
And if you have an Xbox Series X you can pick up MK9 Komplete Edition for the Xbox 360 for around $25 you can play it via backwards compatibility.
I still play it to this day. Overall I prefer the gameplay of MKX, but MK9 has the superior roster and game modes
Yep that’s me
You know what I want? Some MK games are based on the endings that MK9 and MK 10 gave us that deal with the consequences of that ending
1:25 It worked because ALL OF THE OG MK DEVS were still working on the game, and WB interfered VERY LITTLE in the creative process. Now unfortunately most if not ALL of the original Midway team has retired from the industry, and WB has meddled more and MORE since MKX
The last impractical female character designs
Some Mkx designs for the female were good like mileena and kitana but for people like Jacqui I can under stand why you say this
Id rather them than the Bland ones of today.
It's so sad because I don't hate some of them. Mileena's first (not the second) alternative costume is super cool and so is Sindel's. but the other Mileena alternative + Kitana being a princess in a bikini was sooo weird, for a reboot they kept a lot of the super skimpy designs, even Sonya looks just laughable. Then again, I prefer this to the modern blandness of the female designs, god MK1 Mileena, Kitana, Nitara and Li Mei just kinda look wrong, it's so strange
@@draw2death421lmao 😂 they were super cringe .. they look like OF models
@@MrAjking808 rather only fans models than basic gym girls trying to show off to guys lmao.
I mean, the 2011 reboot basically just did the first three games in 3D. That's it. The overall story started going downhill, as it usually does once time travel gets involved, but this new one went off the rails. Now I guess only guest characters are the only interesting thing, but they've used all the boomer once already, so don't know how far the modern ones can take them.
not ture at time tarvel amek shit great dude
EXACTLYYY!! They went too far with that shit unlike what they did with MK9 its story was Absolutely Grreat
Well mk9 wasn’t really time travel it was just raidens visions and that’s it so it wasn’t really bad. I think mk9 had the best story in the nrs and ONE of the best mk stories
Love your content keep up the great work
I just feel like there was more offered to us as a gaming community and as lovers of the old school Mortal Kombat style, these days we are drained of our money just to feel what we once felt all those years ago
The visible damage infliction in this game was top tier, Idk why they haven't been able to do the same in the next few games
The only bad part about MK9 is it started what became an endless stream of franchise reboots where armageddon never actually comes. They’re just trying to retcon everything good about the classic franchise.
Awesome Video Bro! I love both games. I wonder if they will add more content in MK1.
You know MK9 is an Amazing Game when its still being talked about or played to this day.
The way this video is made is amazing the wya you tellin the story and the characters at the same time and shyt I like it
MK9 was peak Mortal Kombat, characters looked cool instead of lame actors wearing cosplay in a "realistic" artstyle. The stages had that classic Mortal Kombat design, the gameplay was fun and you could actually unlock good stuff in the Krypt.
Are you really complaining about only the womens costumes in a game where you can see a mans testicles pop in vivid detail??? This is the best kitana has looked in my opinion.
she looks like a prostitute
Yeah and the same men wear tuff armours, but no women is doing it? Like, a bikini is stronger than an armour?
The complaint is deserved. Design of female characters is bad beyond belief.

If you're interested in going back to MK9 online, PC Steam still has a fully functioning online. We played it pretty regularly.
I absolutely loved this game, even on a casual level. Still holds up, I never got tired of it as long as someone was willing to play
When you mentioned you got MK9 at a local *retro* game store, I realized how old we are now. I mean, it was released only in 2011! And now PS360 generation can be considered as retro too because it's same age as 80s consoles were back in 2005/6
MK9 is ny all time favorite, mainly because it is a 4 player fighting game, a good fighting game. The amount of laughs we've had with friends playing this 2v2 is unheard of. Absolute banger
MK1 is the first time Ive been disappointed in MK since vs DC.
But mk11 is literally the least fun game ever

She’s bottom one characters lmao. She straight up doesn’t work. On paper she’s good but if you play a match with her none of her tools work properly.
I like how I got hate for saying 11 wasn’t really a bad game to ppl praising it after mk1 being ass
MK9 Is the best game Netherrealm still made because it feels like they cared, while I think MKX is good and MK11 is passable, I havnt even bothered TRYING to play MK1, it looks so lame and so greedy like they dont care anymore, while the fatalities are a little iffy at times, and while the game balancing is wack competitively, Its still a great mortal kombat game with lots of love and charm put into it, its still quick and snappy enough where I can play it and not be slow and too sluggish of a game. Amazing game through and through, best part is? I can fit it on my xbox one without having to download so much damn game content. Edit: the reason your X ray didnt work with Cyber Sub Zero is because it has to be initiated in the air.
The moment that mk1 changed the origins of the original mk characters I immediately became uninterested and started playing mk9,X and 11

The timeline was restarted and Liu Kang essentially made these alterations to avoid conflicts. It's not as bad as you make out. The multiple timeline aspect of it, is in fact very interesting and opens up a lot of possibilities. I was also someone who looked at it with a fair amount of scepticism going in and didn't dive into it until yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by it.
All those altercations and he still gave Shang Tsung a shitty life, causing him to yearn for more. MK1's story was utterly shit, I'm supposed to root for Liu Kang when he's the real villain?
4:20 they need to make that a Usable skin for Johnny cage
I think it's in Mkx at the beginning bro
I got this game originally around release for Vita for like $15 (GameStop randomly would have these insane price drops at the time) after having been out of the series since a little after Deadly Alliance and was super impressed. After that I've made a sort of habit of picking up each title a few years after the "Komplete" edition releases. I only just finished up MK 11 on PS5 around the time MK1 came out and will eventually pick that up like five years from now where I'll pay like a quarter the original price with more content.
Saw the title, clicked immediately. Preach, brother. Preach to the masses the glory of MK9.
Same same bro
Because MK1 was quite clearly designed with nothing more than "live service" and MTX in mind. Thank you WB Games for ruining another money franchise with your greed.
I took a huge break from gaming. I left when MK3 released in arcade and returned with MK9 with PS3 because Freddy caught my attention. my favorites are MK9 and MKXL. It seems the only Mortal Kombat I feel I missed out over the decades were Shaolin monks and that made me buy a new PS2
Mkx is better than mk1. There’s even a debate that mk11 is better.
Oh please half the time of the match you doing the same combo hard every see anything different especially with scorpion the gameplay may be fast and nowadays people who use liu kang are only following ninjakilla combos
The only ones who are saying that mk11 is better I’m sure they might not mean gameplay wise if they are then they mean the kameos
@@jaquan3106 Mkx Scorpion is infinitely better than Mk1 Scorpion So is the whole game
@@Do0mSl4yer95 did you not pay attention to what I just said bro only has one combo
@@Do0mSl4yer95 oh so when it comes down to mkx everything else doesn’t matter I swear mkx is a overrated game the game pails compared to mk9 because just look at mkx scorpion he feels like a downgrade version of the mk9 because the combos are roughly the same in mk9 he has more combo potential and he’s more fluid and mkx lacks content besides gameplay
I think MK1 is great but we've had so many mk games the burnout can be real and $80 at launch plus $50 for dlc etc. Smart consumers will just wait until the expansion with all dlc with mk 1 is out for $30.
Lets not just blame WB. Its time to also start blaming NRS. WB gives NRS more than enough time, resources, and money to get these projects done. Its not WB’s fault NRS is lazy and lackluster in their design philosophy.
then you make a game then
@@nealhistory6739 ☝️🤓
Imo I like the Kameo system it’s new and different. Just cause you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s bad. And the monetization is pretty much ALL on WB which is an actual issue with the game.
@@mortal_talos1196 its not new nor different. Its the tag assist mechanic from 11 rebranded. Hence the lazy design philosophy.
@@Dev_A_Station that’s probably why you hate it because you treat it like mk11 tag towers when they don’t interact the same in mk1. I treat mk1 kameos like an extension of the main character not a separate character. And tag was only towers and much more limited in what they could do. You don’t have to like the kameo system but trying to say it’s nothing new is crazy. It’s much better than mkx imo with only 3 ways of playing each character, in mk1 each Kameo can add an entirely different way of playing yours.(not saying mk1 is a better overall game but with variations it is)
Um, remind me again, what does United States Army Special Forces Colonel John Matrix (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) wear in 1985's Commando? 🤔
I love this game but i think a remaster isnt that important since its already available on pc and a modern console since its backwards compatible on xbox series x
I checked G2A at the time of watching this video and damn, MK9 Steam Key went all the way up from $25 to $49 ): anyone knows another place I can get mk9 steam version legit for a fair price?? If so please lmk
In my opinion This has to be the best MK game in the series (Along with MKX), It's a shame the online got shutdown though
Mk 9 was and still is amazing so many great memories not so much with 11 or 1
23:55 cyber sub zero's x-ray has to be used in the air for it to work
bruh, back in 2011 before the complete edition was released. you had to buy the MK1 classic skins and dlc characters. the DLC charcaters were never free until they were included with the komplete edition in 2012
Mk9 and mk1 are the best. Mk1 is strong because of the dlc characters. Im a big fan of Omni man and peacemaker. It was also nice seeing kenshi return.
Mk9 is still the best one Its the most mk-ish mk
Mortal Kombat 9 had fatalities locked behind paywall. The classic skin pack had fatalities for scorpion, sub-zero and reptile. Also these skins were in the game from day 1 as you could see them in the challenge towers, but to use them in any game mode you had to pay for them. They were already scummy back in the days as well...

@@steele1 hell no man. not like that all. I just think it's so awesome!
This game needs to become backwards compatible or a remaster
It is backwards compatible on Xbox
Mk 9 still had that mystique + bizarre atmosphere Mk 1 characters design look like rb6 operators
What mic do you use?
MK9s the one you're supposed to like MK1 is the one you're supposed to hate, just like 11 was before 1, and just like X was before 11. When the next one comes out everyone will hate that one and 1 won't seem so bad. It's all so tiresome, predictable and completely insincere.
Next MK: I predict Liu Kang is actually evil and will cheat on Kitana by being gay lovers with mk1's Shang Tshung. Somehow Shao Kahn is being portrayed as a good guy and all the characters are forgiving him so nonchalant. Raiden is evil, and the sorcerers are the good guys you root for. Oh, and some of the female characters will be lesbian lovers too. This modern age is fn predictable with their garbage
And u blame the community for this instead of the producers who somehow make one worse than the previous each time ?
Heh heh
That just shows how shitty mortal kombat is now. They keep lowering the bar. The real question is,, how are you still fans.
Everyone in this thread missed the point. Couldn’t agree more
Bro the tung twister was funny as hell😂😂😂
We need MK9 private server with rankings / league etc
Ah yes mk9, the game where you get hit with 100% combos online. Perfect.
MK9 is my favorite MK game of all time…it was not perfect, but it was so much fun and the online tag mode was my favorite because my friends and I would team up to play people online for hours!!! I would love a remastered version of MK9!!
I snorted when it got to Baraka. I was eating spicy food, it was painful.
I would really like to learn how to play MK9. I love the designs in this game. But I just can't do it, the controls are too old, and I just can't combo with any character.
dude. MK9 used to cost 60$ back then when it was released. you can't compare an old game that has lowered its value for being old vs the new MK that was just relased last year. thats very invalid comparasion and ait of an exaggraration..
The point is that mk9 was objectively better at a lower price point and is still way better to play now than mk1.
It was 50 dollars
@@faxslaps5775 it was 60$
Doesn't matter how much it cost 15 years ago, you can still get it cheaper now and get a better game than MK1
@opalander yes it does matter, you can't justify a game is better just because one is cheaper now comparing to a game that just came out a few months ago. Mk9 is only cheap to get because it's a 13 year old game that has devalued off from the market a long time ago. The importance on what would be better than the newer game would be the story and gameplay.
Here’s the thing, I defend mk1 as I feel people can be unfair to the game because the gameplay is good and that’s th most important thing in. A fighter, however I do prefer mk9
I don’t really know why we are comparing MK 1 to MK 9 when there is literally no contest, There will never be another MK game like 9
I got 15 flawless victories and had to fight Noob Saibot. Needless to say, it was painful. Right up until I figured out his fighting pattern thanks to Sub-Zero's ice clone ability. I'd block, ice clone, maybe freeze, then air combo. And I was an absolute menace with Noob Saibot.
There aren’t air combos in this game though.
Who cares?
Me and my two other friends who are longtime MK fans all agree that MK9 was peak. It was just perfect.
I love how all the fans say we want something like MK 9 or Shaolin Monks and we get everything but that thrown at us 😂
Mk9 best nrs mk, solid mk story, best roster with tag team, best versions of the characters and great costumes and a great sound track
ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY INFINITELY Agree with you bro, every single thing was perfect down to the minute details
MK9+MKX stage interactions+MK11 customization and intro dialogues+Mortal Woke 1’s graphics (not including designs)= Perfecto😩👌🏽 (possibly)
Id be stoked if they did a switch port. 360/ps3 era holds up pretty well on switch
On PC you can get the UMK9 mod that adds bosses to playable roster and other extra characters
The fatalities are $3 now. The combo potential and flexibility in combo routes is like no other mortal combat. They just need to keep the characters coming. All the pro players agree this game plays best and has the most potential. The studio got rushed but I think we’ll get there. I’ve been addicted since it came out.
first time i saw the characters face model and UI menu in MK1, i immediately knew the game will flop
I actually thought mk1 was gonna be like the older games like mk9 when I saw the cinematic trailer for the new game, it looked soooo realistic and grounded, not so many different characters, it really felt like simpler and I loved it at first at least
All I needed was the Umgadi trailer and I was like “nope”!
The graphics are the best part of the game wtf are you on about “soon as I saw the face models.” Bruh.

MK9 was chef's kiss for the franchise. Only thing is that it was pretty broken af, even some of the lower tier had something extremely unusual for fighting games. Although that was also the charm. Imagine this game in modern day - remove some of the legit glitches, and crossplay/rollback. It would be on and poppin
MK9 was definitely the last good Mk game. Unfortunately it’s preservation is non existent.
This "definitely" has little value. This "definitely" is definitely debatable. I'd say in the fighting game genre MK is one of the few series where each game actually has something going for it, while I really can't say the same about many of the others. I really enjoyed Tekken 3 for example, but everything after that has been so disappointing and boring in that series, no innovation, character animations exactly the same for 20 years, nothing new to discover. I must state I have not played Tekken 8 yet, but bought 7 during a sale a few months back, and damn it was a let down. The story mode had something, but no character was interesting enough to want to do much after that. They were exactly the same as in Tekken 3, without the factor of being somehow new and exciting, and the new characters were just copies of the old ones with "he is from Sweden, he is from Russia" as defining characteristics, as I would care for nationalities in a game series that has had much more interesting characters, like pandas, dinosaurs, elderly people that mainly fight laying down, characters made of logs. Somehow they decided to concentrate on boring human characters with their nationality intended as the most interesting aspect about them and no imagination in the gameplay or move sets. Compared to that I would say MK9 - MK1 all games have had quite a lot to be excited about. Admittedly with some experiments that missed their mark as well, but that is the price of actually trying to do something new instead of lazily reskinning the same game for 20 years as some other series are doing. Tekken was just an example because of a recent burn, but there are others. To end on a positive note, Killer Instinct which I only got to this year, was a very imaginative and excitin experience, and without this tiresome "content" stuff, just plain old unlocking of character endings and some cosmetic stuff, the interesting stuff was in the actual gameplay, not in the "rewards".
Is there a chance to get platinum now in mk9 ?
I think the ps3 servers shut down so unfortunately not
9 is the last true Mortal Kombat game. Because it didn't go Woke (and die out) like X, 11 & 1 did, where all the chicks have badly-written plots with pancake-flattened bodies (Warner Brothers is to blame for this). It would've made sense if the skimpy/revealing outfits are only worn in fiery/humid stages, while the overdressed costumes are only worn in icy/windy stages.
I prefer MK 11 tbh. People hate it but it had a stronger launch than this MK 1
Real
The Nintendo switch version of m11 is better then mk 1 on switch
I would go as far as to say MK Mythologies and MK Special Forces are better games than MK1.
@@ReginaldAnteelOk now you’re going too far. MK1 is a deeply flawed game, however, nothing compared to the atrocities that are Special Forces and Mythologies.
@@RedCommunistDragon agreed lmfao.
A game is only really dead when a developer fully stops supporting it
MK11 got supported for 2 years 😔
@@InTheKitchenWristStirFry WB when they support MK1 for 2.5 years
@@Keygentlemen lmfao
@@Keygentlemen lmfao, Bro its actually 2.7 years bud…….0
Well I disagree, there are plenty of games that continue to get support even when there are very few players, and on the flip side there are many many games that the developer stopped supporting but there’s a huge lively community, but I feel like mk1 is dead in comparison to how the other games were looking at this point after launch
Something you have to give MK1, is how they their story mode lowkey makes sense. They don't randomly make characters useless after their chapter, giving good reasons why they can't continue in some adventures for risks. The sectioning is actually pretty consice, earthrealm warrior introductions, mortal kombat tournament, spying on Shang tsung, etc.. the characters accurately altered for fights, for example Kung Lao fights without his hat moves because he doesn't have his buzz hat yet etc. And the main thing for me is how they actually played Mortal Kombat correctly. Shang Tsung was there in mk9 breaking his own tournament rules left and right in the story mode, however Sindel actually played it correctly
No, it's garbage. Shang Tsung did nothing wrong. Liu Kang gave Sindel and Shaod Kahn better lives but for some reason decided Shang Tsung should have a shitty life. He created his own villain like a moron.
@opalander Dude why wouldn't he 💀 Shang Tsung literally tried to wipe him from history in the last timeline in mk11, and he didn't create him a villain to begin with, nor Quan chi too. If Titan Shang tsung had never existed nor interfered, influencing both quan chi and shang tsung in Liu Kangs timeline, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi would have litedally remained losers lmfaoo 🫵💀 And about your "Shang tsung did nothing wrong!" Let me take you back. The rules that Shang Tsung allowed to break or even broke himself is he allowed already defeated fighters battle in mortal kombat EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ELIMINATED, he allowed teammates to fight each other, he takes some people's personal matters and calls it a "challenge" (for example sub zero and scorpions fight before sub died) He allows assassination attempts, he allowed himself to suddenly choose someone to fight out of nowhere. If he's the host of mortal kombat then atleast play by the rules bruh, we all know he's a schemer but how can he be this trash at his own tournament
You should definitely cover the NRS games in order. I don't know if already planned that or not
I will for sure
I honestly wouldn’t say that it’s better than mk1 lol. But I do love the mk2 atmosphere that mk9 has. And there WERE issues with mk9. Especially when it came to the story and certain character interpretations. I feel like you either weren’t there, or were too young during its release with some of these claims you’re making
you are comparing pricing with a new game (under bad shape of the economy) vs. a game that has aged out of the market value that u bought for 10$ from a retro game store without even getting the game at full price when it was still fresh back in (2011) it used to be 60$ when in stores and there was microtransactions for DLC charcaters including 1 guest character and 2 skin packs. you had to wait a year for MK9 to be a bundle pack into MKKE as it would still be 60$. MK9 was a great promising game for the first reboot of the franchise, it's just not accruate or to sate one is better pricing because of the current pricing with a game that has aged vs a new game that just got released months ago including microtransactions would be a complete exaggeration when both of the games had it. honestly this video review seems more like a Ban wagon perspective to MK9 because the accuracy with pricing is wrong, but the review with gameplay is true and accraute. goodjob on the video tho. Mk9 was a big fighting game back then
You are complaining about comparing a game that goes for cheaper now being better than a game you gotta pay 70 for now. The point is you can get a better game for cheap now, not how much it costs in 2011.
@opalander only because MK9 is cheaper than the game that cost 70$? As just as such comparing prices on which is better? I'm not disagreeing with your statement. A cheaper game would save you money, but highly doubt you would pay 60$ for mk9🤣🤣
If you haven't already, check out the mod for the PC version: MK Trilogy Edition. Re-balancing for more kombos, less broken tags, and restores the music with the classic music from MK1-3. MK Reo has a video covering it. It's worth trying at least once.
Where is the combo section in this video
I fucking hate MK1, the biggest stepback in a fighting game I’ve ever seen. They took away the krypt and gave us something worse it’s so fucking confusing
