Why I Hate Mortal Kombat 11... (and I blame Injustice)

Is the new MK1/MK12 more of the same or any better?

Meanwhile me still playing Robin on injustice 2 as we speak

Injustice ruined mk period.

And its the exact same in mk1

MK9 should've been the way forward, I agree, if they threw out the 100% gimmicks, lets pretend MK10 was like MK9 but more polished

Mortal Kombat going forward is feeling like some other games, they try to close the pro/noob gap through gimmicks like complete RNG, not fighting game intuition, I find the skill disparity in some games super understanding, other games like Tekken 7, my bro beat someone in ranked with Asuka, and he doesn't play fighters, just goes to show

“holding back to block” puts Injustice ahead of Mortal Kombat for me. I still play MK for the story and lore…then retire it until an expansion or next release.

This is why I dropped mortal Kombat because Netherrealm studio's kill mk and don't give me worng Idea, i really love mortal Kombat i play every single games from arcade games, playstation PC etc until mk from 2011 they ruined everything not to mention team injustice, Although mk getting worst and worst.

I fucking HATE MK11. I hate it so much I can't even explain

Bro, Injustice and mk 9,10,11, and now 1...qll the same game.
Wb signed Netherrealm.
Netherrealm got the ability to use DC characters. LITERALLY, not figuratively or hyperbolic or metaphorically..... literally they had a clause in the contract saying that basically the DC characters had to be harder to beat because "they are iur precious IP so ee cant have them getting beat up by just regular fighters" so thats why all the frame advantages and chip health

You are absolutely correct in what is happening.
They are in a contract so they stopped trying. They just did the bare minimum.
Niw MK1 is out and already has a $20 dlc for extra characters......
MK sold out and is just here to olay on your nostalgia.
I bought every mortal kombat game from 2 on. I have refunded 9,10, 11, and both injustice games.
10/11 i refunded on steam so less than two hours was enough to see.

I wont be buying MK1
Literally the first games I ever played were link, super mario, battle toads. Then jumped right into Road Rash on Sega alonf with other ganes kike sonic.
Then I was like 7. MK II came to the super nintendo.
My moms friend had a copy and I olayed tf out it. And I never stopped for nearly 20 years.

Deuces, I still have all the good mk games lol

Shoutout to Halo fans who understand this. Infinite is pretty good and Season 5 is a godsend.

Mk11 EX mechanic is better idc🤷‍♂️

so whos gonna tell him

FB is by far the feature I hate the most in MK11 and MK1 for the reasons you mentioned. You get a health lead just to lose it for free, and then you gain one for yourself lol

Bro sound like he hating

Well, i have to say that ultimate super is getting more and more long that is so boring to see in tournaments. Talking about all fg in general and im afraid is not gonna end soon

I believe fatal blow was a good addition because what’s the point of a super if nobody is gonna use it

i preordered mk11 and dropped it after 3 weeks its HELLA slow paced and simple compared to mkx the combos weren't as cool and complicated as well i wish the running mechanic makes a comeback in a future mk game :/

My opinion on fatal blows:
Good idea ON PAPER
Horribly executed
At least they don't give armor and are very blockable in MK1
I think they should give you one use per round, but if you hit with one it follows the current rules of taking it away for the rest of the match

Anyways, good video

I still think you're in the wrong in your ultrakill review, but hey, at least you invented the mayo% speedrun category

So glad they adressed some of these issues in MK1

MK11 is actually dog shit

This is honestly why I dropped out of MK11. Despite having the awesome guest characters (not so much the joker) it didn’t feel like Mortal Kombat. In fact it just felt like “The competitive game” which is what came to mind when I saw how they changed the meter system I was like “Eww” and I only ever really played it with my dad or people who came over that also didn’t really know how those mechanics worked or played it for the story but never much for anything else.

Hopefully after all the stuff with mortal Kombat 1 is over we get an injustice 3 announcement that would be cool 😊😊

even though I think MK 11 is really good everytime I play it just seems like nrs just wanted to make injustice 3 so they filled it up with Joker, several dc skins, and guest characters that would make more sense for Injustice games

mk9 was the best, iti even had hot women

I know im a lil late but i really appreciate this video, MK11 is one of my personal favorites but ive always had problems with the game but it always seems like everyone else just wanted to cry about towers of time, (Which I do enjoy so it could be bias) but you didn't and you complained about the issues i have with mk11 and the only different opion i have is the variation system i actually love it but i still feel like only 1-3 should be ranked and tournament legal and the other moves that wouldnt be used could only be used in unranked games, couch vs and single player. I do acknowledge and am very disappointed in NRS for completely sacrificing the fun mini-games from the midway games and mk9 in mk11 and i really wish they had of had them along side towers of time and the krypt and i could go on a rant of how much i love the krpyt, but i am in agreement with you i hope one day we go back to mk and stop playing injustice. I'm gonna riot though if they don't give me my mini games back, WE WANT MOTOR KOMBAT
WE WANT CHESS KOMBAT
WE WANT PUZZLE KOMBAT

MK9 the goat

Though I disagree with a lot of your statements, I completely understand why you would feel this way. It feels to me that they are trying to make the games more casual friendly, something I kinda appreciate especially when trying to get my friends into fighting games like this

Just play something else

Mk9 💪🏾 was one if the best, I think Scirpians design was perfect too

Plannin on gettin mk1 I’m praying it’s like inj 2 or plays like

For me everything in terms of like the physical style of it like the look of the characters got worse after X compared to all the other looks of characters MKX had the best-looking

Sorry but MK always sucked because the movement and blocking is too simplistic and boring. As a result the mix-up and zoning becomes bland.
But you're right about the animations. They are are way... way.. too long! They never end.

I agree with the fatal blows and supers, their ass, the genuinely ruin the game and make it complete garbage, back then you'd be praying for your life to have a massive comeback against someone with a full bar
Younger audiences will never know the satisfaction of beating shao khan in arcade mk

I all heard was im a scrub and a baby

its too much, its like its never anyone's turn" as a YGO player i get it
every element of that game causes these "mix-ups" in a way that its completely borked, its ruins the flow state
the ironic part is its done for broad appeal in MK11, u can win no matter what cause anyone can win now, its terrible

For me mk9 was the peak for this franchise 🤷 and will always be !!

Mk1 fixed 90% of this

Oh you are gonna love/mostly hate Tekken man. I don't know about 8 but 7 has almost 0 mind games except for 50/50s. Everything's universal, you can basically play the "tekken way" for every character. And shit throws except for king and the boys. And supers that are so shit, you're hyped when you see them.

So if I got you right one of your main complaints is that MK11 is a bit more complicated and there are more mind games now tell me how a game being more complicated and having you to think and work harder then the previous is actually bad??? Because I don't get it honestly and I'm not hating...

Im not getting MK1 because it's the same engine

Fatal blows are there just to help bad players

Its odd how stiff and cheap 11 was compared to its 2 predecessors. It's like the only thing they improved was the net code

I despise fatal blows

Can you not turn Fatal blows off?

I love, no I adore Injustice. Scarecrow in Injustice 2 is by far the best I’ve ever played as in any fighting game, I love what they did and I’m so disappointed we won’t get a 3rd anytime soon, at least never with Kevin Conroy. You know what though, you are right. You’re absolutely right. I also haven’t felt the same about MK since MK9 and everything you just said is illustrative of it perfectly, it just hasn’t been the same. I also am probably looking through some rose tinted goggles, but it was real, MK9 was a masterpiece. So much has changed, and there is such a thing as trying too hard, which is about the best type of insult any game can receive. I love Netherrealm, but things just haven’t been the same since then

Old mk games are better even sm you know how they go down 😎
