If You Must Die So Be It Comparison! (2011-2020) | Mortal Kombat Story 

Prepares to fight and then he's on the floor

Do not force my hand, Liu Kang.

Lmao

Aint dat sum shit 🤣

I love that part lmao

Really wish they did the same for the others. Sonya's voice got worse and Scorpion's MK11 voice is nowhere near as good as MK9 or MKX

Christian Manuel imo Sonyas voice was only good in Mkx and I like how Hanzo actually sounds like an Asian man in Mk11 .

@@christiananddanyell At least Scorpian actually sounds Japanese lol he sounded American in MK9

​@@SonGokuuuuuuu Im not saying the VA for MK11 Scorpion was bad, it's just that the voice and delivery for MK9 and MKX is just so iconic and memorable. "NO TO HELL WITH YOU" and Scorpion's line to Quan Chi in MKX are absolute peak voice acting

@@SonGokuuuuuuu Yeah, but Patrick Seitz is better as Scorpion because he just clicks with the character. Does Sub-Zero sound Chinese? Does Shang Tsung? Does Raiden sound Japanese, or even look it? Being as he is the Japanese god of thunder and lightning? That argument doesn't hold water. The characters that were switched were better voice acted in the two previous installments. Except for Shang Tsung and Fujin. They're the shining beacons of MK11.

its not really that complicated... raiden just gave him lightning

@@copopopocoporododoro yeah aint that deep

I don’t think that’s a detail

Even though some say it's not a detail,I think headcannons are great,and I also like this idea

Because Raiden fused with him?

Yeah he was so much more psychotic in Deception and Armageddon, Dark Raiden in MKX and 11 was more so not taking anyone’s shit.

MK 11 still confuses me, the Raiden we see is the one that came through the portal which would indicate that he is the same Raiden from MK 9 however he has Shinnok's amulet and his dark side is very prominent, before this Raiden showed up MK 11 only had Dark Raiden who disappeared inexplicably fairly early on in the story and is never seen again. It's not necessarily a plot hole but it's just very odd to me that Dark Raiden just vanished like that.

​@@DreamerFromTheDepthsNRS LOVES setting Dark Raiden for a sequel but they just can't utilize him for more than 5 minutes before giving up. It's just shitty NRS writing, really.

Agreed

No Zombie Liu Kang, though :/

​@@turbotrup96there was a revanant Liu Kang in place of the zombie version.

@@redreaper3065 I know, and that was rather offensive

@@turbotrup96 valid I suppose. Zombie Liu Kang was awesome

Ikr!

Its really not. Most of what made mk9-mkx writing good, got dumped and retconned, plotholed and loopholed in a matter of 5 scenes just so they could end the timeline and be able to rewrite it again for the next game in such a disrespectful push against the diehard fans. On the surface its a continuity but in reality its quite depressing and disappointing

@@omni6982 wdym?? The whole story of 11 depends on the revenants created in 9 and X. And 9 is just the first three games in a “what if” scenario. What happened to the lore of everything up to Armageddon? You’re gripe with 11’s story is literally what makes mortal kombat “mortal kombat.”

Yesss

@@omni6982 yeah having Johnny Cage and his daughter beat Shinnok cause of green energy is good writing. Kung Jin beating Kotal Kahn is good writing. You're a joke

Yeah, it’s weird to see Shang Tsung actually trying to help Raiden

@AFuckingBird strangely they were correct about Liu Kang winning the fight against Kronica

@@rafikicasanueva6he wasnt tho he was plottin 😂

wdym strangely?

A god that doesn't learn from mistakes. In short

God do not learned. God do what they want.

Reminds me of the AI intros where Raiden challenges Liu Kang to Smash Bros

He's also the guy who's always on the phone talking or always running off to somewhere, every match and every round he does this, you wonder if he's cheating and getting advice from someone else, yet somehow his new moves and combos always fails spectacularly. You also wonder if he's just delusional or autistic and his making up these "friends" of his, prob an imaginary friend or something.

that's actually me

By the 9 divines! ASSAULT!

Old Joseph: OH, NO!!

Me: bye bye Liu kang

Every line after was very emotionally delivered. The stupidest thing is the line “Liu Kang forgive me.” got cut off. :(

First time meme Sounds like me but when they killed him off in deadly alliance 😂

Ong

Dude I was about 11 too back when I played this. It was in 2015. I'm 17 now

Same

I was 10 when MK9 released haha

I think it had more to do with the situation. In 9, Liu is pretty much at his breaking point, whereas 11 sounds more melancholy since he only now realized that Raiden's lost it.

@@jarekgunther Either that or he meant the MK11 rendition of the MK9 cutscene. Liu Kang in MK9 sounded a lot more angrier and cynical, while Liu Kang in the MK11 remade version sounded mildly angered.

Yeah, but I prefer MK11’s Liu Kang voice.

Liu Kang mk9 is already done with raiden's shit while mk11 Liu Kang just try to calm him down and imo Liu Kang seem more arrogance in mk9 compare to mk11

As others said. In 9 he was fed up with Raiden and lost all faith in him. In 11 it’s honestly more sorrowed if anything because in this one he really did want to put his trust into Raiden.

Actually mkx is mk11 is ass

@@pxtrwtf5118 no

@@basharmusa2098 yes it’s horrible they made it look like mortal kombat

@@pxtrwtf5118 stfu

@@pxtrwtf5118 stfu

It didn't retcon much besides Sindel

I think in the case of mk9, it was a lame reason but the idea behind was okay.

@@ccelite3782 and everyone blamed Raiden about it.

Kronika being the reason of Liu Kang's and Raiden's conflict constantly happening in each timeline wasn't a retcon though.

It wasn’t a retcon

Just noticed he really looks cute .lol

He’s cutie

With all due respect but Raiden saved Liu kang if you payed attention to the cutscenes. Kitana helped future Liu kang get his past so she could steal his own soul to make his future dead self stronger and later on, Raiden helped him by merging with him and past Liu Kang to become Fire God Liu Kang

Same

He started it

@@toynetheath9561 he has all the reasons to not trust Raiden's judgement. Kung Lao died because Raiden didn't do shit, his GF died because he was with Raiden talking with elder gods etc. I was Liu Kang I would say: f*ck you Raiden, you're the reason why many of my friends died because of your stupid visions of future.

@@KEK714 and rather than let liu kang fight with shao khan and die by his own will. Raiden kill him with his own hand instead. Such an asshole god.

@@juanpark7366 Raiden really screwed things up... 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, that scene made me question Kronika's involvement in the DC Universe. All I wanted to know is if Kronika created the Injustice universe.

I honestly wish I can agree, but for me it just raises more questions than answers. Supposedly Kronika was upset at what the present dark Raiden has done to the timeline, but…the whole multi timeline plot suggests that this is not the first timeline. Why would Kronika change the timeline multiple times only for the current most one she created be the one in which Raiden resets everything and causes Shinnok’s downfall? Plus if Kronika has the power already to change the timeline into different varieties, wbu does it take more power to make the new era? Loved execution of the reveal, but honestly I wish they left it at the two timelines and Raiden realizing he messed up with his dark future version alone.

Honestly, the story was all over the damn place. On one hand there’s amazing moments like this and Sub Zero’s chapter, but on the other hand they completely bungled Sindel

@@K-11609 As SonicHAXD put it, NRS cannot comprehend/come up with something as convoluted or explain their plot holes.

OG era was the best this timeline bullshit ruined mortal kombat

Trying to be a good guy but then gets beaten up by the others

And those mk9 and Armageddon references, PURE GOLD

@@Aex89 yup ed boon knew what we wanted.

You got cringe

What the fans want is sometimes what they can't have

@@eclipsethefox4397 I feel like the developers always do it in purpose, specially in the last 3 games. Like, having Sektor in the story mode but making him unplayable, when he's a fan favorite character?

@@LucasTheUltimate *coughs in rain and baraka in mkx*

This was why this fight is my favorite in the aftermath expansion.

@@LucasTheUltimate they should make Triborg Canon or at least a playable character in the future so we can have all the cyber lin kuei

Btw is that MK1 refference? Liu Kang is wearing a grey belt and is barefoot resembling mk1 liu kanh

Aren't revenants and zombies different?

@@wahyucalvinaditya6291 yeah

Mr. Get over here yes but that fight happens during Armageddon in which Liu was an actual zombie.

Guys it's just a recicled model XD

And MK Armageddon and Deception and Deadly Alliance

@spirious 'do'?

Oof invasion

@spirious i was asking the same

enough..OF YOUR MADDNESS liu kang -"enough of your maddness" liu kang -"ENOUGH OF YOUR MADDNESS!!" raiden -"ENOUGH OF THIS MADDNESS"

Good one😉

If you're not with me then you're my enemy

Ya, but Liu Kang didn’t die tho, he just passed out. I think. God now u got me needing to rewatch the ending after Dark Kahn is defeated. Everyone lives tho I’m pretty sure

It seems more like 100 thousand

lol

8:45 I am a fool…

I think it was because liu kang was too harmed

@@goodman299 well so was Johnny, he was bleeding out, nearly about to succumb to his wounds, Liu Kang was like that too

Uh oh he must consult with the elder gods

Kirito (idk why you deleted your message) Scorpion also had burns, not severe but still a burn wound so if scorpion can be healed by his burn wound, why can’t Liu Kang? I get he was severely burned but again he healed Jax when he was severely injured

My guess is that Raiden can’t heal wounds he created.

“Kronika will not entrap us with her surprisingly shiny forehead”

True

I love raiden he's my favourite character

The reason people don't like Raiden (at least nowadays) is because he's portrayed as an idiot. I have a lot of stuff I could go through to show it if someone asks.

@@night-seeker666 I'll ask. What do you have?

@@princejax2748 He zones out in the middle of conversing. He tries to use Shinnok’s amulet in MK11, even knowing how his future self turned out. He doesn’t leave Shang behind in Aftermath or snatch the crown out of his paws. Most of what he does in MK9. I may have forgot the rest, sorry.

@@night-seeker666 i agree with the zoning out and shinnok’s amulet but in mk9, raiden only said “he must win” which was super vague which essentially made the question of who must win? shao kahn, lui kang or somebody else? without a clear answer they were basically in the dark. as for mk11, fujin basically was manipulating everyone so it goes according to lui kang’s plan to get the crown and reset the timeline. fujin knowing gave the crown to shang tsung and told raiden they needed him to

Dont know those time lines are from, because the only one good its armageddon, but in the other one's liu kang it's normal

He get serious too When shinnok is trying to kill sonya

@@cristiana.jaramillof.1598 And when she passed

Yeah, It was clear he's going to betray everyone the moment he absorbed Nightwolf's revenant.

both yes and no he was right about shang tsun betraying them but the crown was indeed the only way to rebuild the timeline

Yes she is because she's trying to find the best plan to make her own universe that's why the MK games keep having the same thing same happen again and again.

@@prettymomma04 Yeah MK11 just replays what happened on previous MK games (MK9 and MKX)

are you blind? he literally does

Pretty much. Liu beat Shao Khan, he returned. Shinnok got beat, returned anyway in Armageddon. Shang Tsung and Quan Chi created the Deadly Alliance and merked the heroes, paving the way for the rise of Onaga. Which set the stage for Armageddon where literally all the bad guys teamed up against all the good guys, Legion of Doom-style and in the end, Shao fucking Khan won. I mean, Liu Kang was a friggin' zombie in Armageddon. Even before this, things were already going out of control in 9 - like Scorpion NOT sparing Bi-Han and handling Quan Chi a free minion, Kung Lao getting killed in the second tournament (his own fault but DAMN, massive L) or their treatment of poor Mileena who didn't deserve to be shunned like a freak for existing, creating yet another enemy. Also anything Sindel. But yah, the Game Was Rigged From the Start because Kronika.

No Liu Lang was to hurt to heal them

Liu Kang was burnt to a Crisp compared to everyone else he healed.

Jax was awfully bruised, Liu Kang on the other hand was burnt to a crisp and basically dead

Liu Kang: Now we must fight together. Raiden: NEVER, LIU KANG! SHAO KAHN MUST DIE BY MY HANDS! Liu Kang: *_ENOUGH OF YOUR MADNESS!_* If you must die...so be it!

@@UltramanMebiusBrave I was referencing AlpacaHawk.😒

Which scene you're talking about?

Subway is MK3, space one looks like an injustice one and the others I am not too sure of.

@@BCSTAR954 Ah ok, fair enough.

@@moralesharold87 the space one is from mk vs dc and dead pool stage from mk 4
