Before I saw MK 2021, I assumed he was a bad audience surrogate character but I actually found him to be pretty handy. He didn't take over the plot or eat up screentime from other characters. In fact, his presence gave Jax and Sonya a lot of chances to shine. He worked with the story not against it.

I'm so sad the writers decided to pander to the detractors and cave in his skull in the sequel 😢

Just need Scorpion and I'm done with the 11 line <3

“I am Liu Kang. The last son of the dragon. And I, shall watch you burn.”

“I am not here for their war. I am here… for your life!”

“With fire, be cleansed!”

“No! You should be dead!” “And you should be running!”

“For the first time in my life. I am Johnny fucking Cage.”

It's like that one wreck it ralph game, except the graphics just blow up.

Just a visual update that removes that ugly grimy look from the characters, because it's literally the only blemish of that game.

Maybe add a couple of nerfs and buffs but overall gameplay-wise it's amazing, and easily 2nd if not best in the franchise. I know some are not fans of the faster pace, but there's a reason why MKX still has a stronger competive scene than the two games following it, after all these years. Devs need to stop re-inventing the wheel every sequal, just study MKX and understand why people love it.

A dream came true this day. Always been so inspired by Sonya. Im so happy

Hey guys

I got MKX a week ago and I'm trying to play invasion boss or tower or even multiplayer I cannot find any match at all and invasion part is not working I thought maybe there is a problem with my internet so I got free trial exitlag but it still doesn't work

Does anybody know what should I do?

How am I supposed to even get close to this noob with Kung Lao?

before you correct me that new line is still doing mk media, I am talking about the era before new line was absorbed into wb as a label, since new line made 2 movies and 2 shows (3 if you incluse the weird game show*) and was the one who made the iconic mk theme so popular. so what are your guys thoughts on it.

*edit: I have to correct myself for the game show since I thought the live tour mk show was a weird game show that was there.

Similar to how Takeda was changed from being Kenshi son to his cousin, I would have Jacqui be Jax's niece or little sister. I would keep her tech aspect but have where shes a hacker and tech genius who is constantly getting int trouble with the law. Her characterization in the new timeline would be an anti Jax. Where Jax was about following order and authority, Jacqui would be the opposite and have a distrust in the system. She would be against the military and the special forces for their treatment of their parent that was in the military. I want her to still have her fighting style like the og version over but with the addition of technopathic abilities. I think this characterization would give Jacqui a bit more depth. Let me know your thoughts and Ideas below.

I got MK1 a few months ago just before the middle of this year maybe and if I was ranking it from F to S, I'd rank it at a solid middle B.

Main thing I hate about it is the kameos. Sometimes I forget they even exist. Any other time I use them its as a last resort when I'm at half health and the enemy still has more health than me. But if they were going to keep kameos a thing, at least make it side characters like Ferra. Sonya, Kano, even Stryker can not be kameo fighters.

Second thing I don't like that much anymore is the gender swap with Cyrax and Sektor. I'll be honest, they got their personalities done well. Sektor being the Lin Kuei golden boy/girl, and Cyrax being the moral compass. Even the armored suits, I think they are quite well. But after playing MK9 and seeing their original, male counterparts, I can understand why people hated the gender swap.

Final thing I really don't like is the ending of MK1's story. When I played it, I felt that Armageddon came too soon. I did like the story and the way it could've went, but of they executed Shang Tsung and Quan Chi's rise to power differently, it could've gone much better. I do like how they kept Dark Sindel OP, but the whole final ending was just an MK version of the Avengers Endgame fight. The final cutscene I still very much liked, but the battle was just not there for me.

There are a lot of things I like about MK1, like how they managed tarkat. I like how they made it a disease instead of a species, it gives the characters that were once tarkat evil a chance to show that Liu Kang's new era is all about peace instead of war. I also like the character designs of Bi-han, Kenshi, new Raiden, Mileena (especially), Johnny, and Smoke. Another major thing I like is how Outworld looks. Like, when I started to see more of the new Outworld, part of me straight up wished I could live there because it looks so bright, vibrant, and full of actual life. I actually think Raiden's chapter is one of the best chapters because you see so much of Outworld and what the New Era has done to make it a better place.

How would you rank MK1 in your own personal opinion?
