MK1 vs MK11: (2024) Which is Better? | Mortal Kombat 

What do you like about MK1 or Mk11 more than the other!? Let me know! And for MK11 vs MKX Check out this video 👉

The lack of variety in gameplay is the defining factor for me here. MK11 had players using characters differently, but in MK1, all characters play the same online. I feel like I'm doing the same thing every game depending on the opponents character choice.

MKX is better than both low-key that game is underrated af

MK1 in terms of gameplay that wins but in terms of content that goes to MK11 all the way

Hated MK11, but love MK1. They brought back the combos

It’s a difficult question to answer but me personally I would say Mk1 is better in terms of story, gameplay and roster but Mk11 is better in terms of customisations, variety in variants and different game modes.

me personally i feel like mk1 feels more boring after i played it, every character has a combo everyone relies on, in mk11 every1 uses characters in their own ways which is way more fun than using the same combos on each other, also mk11 is more fun because it’s combos can be more challenging and tedious

In gameplay it is a no brainer win for mk1, 11 probably had some of the worst mechanics in fighting games ever and on a character design level each character is way more deep in mk1 than 11

MK11 might have more going for it (at the moment) but the gameplay in MK1 is just so much better than MK11, thus easily making MK1 better

I miss the graphics and crushing blows from MK11. I’m mad that they changed the characters’ story in MK1. They completely changed rain in MK1. Besides that, MK1 is more fun to play.

Mk11 all day all night!

Overall I’d have to say. MK11. I also had a rough start to MK11 but after some time got used to it

The only thing MK1 has over 11 is the gameplay speed and combo potential. MK11 beats it in everything else from Story, Costumes, krypt, etc. They both tie with Guest Char options though

for me mk11 is better i had rough start with the game cause it was so different but it became my favorite out of all mk9,x,11 and 1 but mk trilogy will always be the best in my opinion. i think break-away would be better for mk1 cause everyone does a lot of damage and breakers would be better for mk11 cause mk11 is the most balanced mk game they made sometimes too balanced mk11 is not perfect but the krypt was done beautifully and i liked towers of time so you could get skins for a characters you want not waste time with skins you dont care and not to mention why mk11 is the goat is online so much stuff to do kombat league was better loved the king of the hill and omg we had Rooms in mk11 if you dont know what Rooms are i am sorry bro but that is one thing mk1 needs and they need balance kameo system so you cant make a move safe cause of kameos, mk11 if a move was unsafe you would get rekt we learn from mistakes but mk1 teaches a dirty way to play fighting games. but both games are fun nice video btw keep up the good work and i wish you a good and happy day

Mortal Kombat as a franchise, always had an identity crisis. Which in some aspects, meant some form of "evolution", and I'm quoting that because it wasn't always the case, which is the complete opposite point I'm trying to make. For a while, it felt like it had SOME consistency and evolution with each iteration? Throughout the 3D era, it kinda felt like they were building something throughout Deadly Alliance up until Armageddon? Then they had a last breath with MK vs DC, which had potential to be further refined, but then they took a step back once they reformed into NRS after Midway fell, and went back to 2D format. And got SOME consistency and innovative and really fun and competitive takes from MK9 through to MKX. MK11 was divisive because it started to stray from the concepts it build previously and people were getting scared that NRS was watering down MK as a whole to start catering to more people ( Looking at you, Krushing Blows and Breakaway ). MK1 is ... in a weird spot for me. It has that gameplay charm, but it wears thin with the lack of stuff to do to keep you engaged and coming back. And no ... Invasions doesn't fix that, no matter how you flip it. If they would rework the idea and make the mesas freely explorable and make them their own "Mini-Krypts", maybe ... maybe. Otherwise ... more game modes. Owh and to calm down with the microtransactions. Soz 4 long reads.

I had a better start with MK1 then with MK11…

My biggest gripe with mk1 is the movement. I had a really hard time adjusting to the dashing and blocking projectiles.

Funny how the variation is “off brand Thor” but Raiden is more creative and versatile with his lightning powers. He can teleport instantly with lightning shoot lightning blasts from his body summon lightning turn into lightning itself and maneuver through space and vacuum create lightning CONSTRUCTS like he’s a lantern from DC and use lightning to levitate and do basically anything like lightning telekinesis. He also doesn’t rely on his staff for anything it’s just an add on weapon if he wants to engage in bojutsu. Meanwhile Thor relies on his hammer and can’t do half the things Raiden does with his powers, Raiden relies on his own raw power not “weapons” And he’s more creative and versatile than Thor. Pretty sure he’d even destroy Thor in a fight NRS just has terrible power scaling and had Raiden lose to people like Shao in mk9 when in the real sense Raiden shouldn’t be losing to anyone 😂 if anything Thor is “Off brand Raiden”

If we could somehow mix the two games it would be great,mk11s customization ,fast pace gameplay and crushing blows with smooth flowing fatal blow,with mk1s air combos and …and um…yeah I guess just the air combos is all they have going

Next to Street Fighter 3rd Strike, Guilty Gear Xrd, MK11 is probably my favorite fighting game of all time. I had no issues with gameplay, combos or whatever, MK11 is quite possibly the best graphically fighter in the biz. I love MK1 as well. But MK11 had the best version of its characters and best guest fighters in the franchise. The texture work and character sculptures are incredible.
