I agree with the thumbnail I think this mk1’s kameo system is actually fun and its not a 2v2 its a combo extender and starter still a 1v1 just an additional moveset for ur character essentially and I genuinely like the addon movesets

Shang Tsung being so deceptive in Mortal Kombat 1 that he even turned Heel on himself is still absolutely hilarious to me. It's like, "Who else but Shang Tsung?!" 😂

0:23 I’m the same way with the first comment, Takeda hasn’t been a playable character in 8 YEARS

i really think that Mortal Kombat 1 is a GREAT video game, no game is perfect and yes it has its flaws but i think it’s awesome

MKX will always be the best in my opinion. The character designs in that one was peak!

Story idea to get away from multi-dimensional for the most part. Liu Kang has gotten his titan powers back and has to remain the titan of time. (Keeps him out of the story as an instant win) Sub-zero finds a relic that ONLY shows alt universes and peers into the og MK1-armagedon. He fights to claim what he still feels is his right but also attempts to sway certain characters via their old personality reminders/acts done to them/ how low they have fallen from that universe. Keeps time and dimensions away from the cast used minus Sub-zero peering and stays planetary/realm in scale

All netherealm is missing is towers and some form of a krypt. Honestly, they should have made the invasions formula be the krypt itself, navigating and unlocking rng skins and fatalities but have boss fights tied to the more expensive krypt purchases

4:46 OMG THATS ME!!!!!

This is not a hot take, it's just my personal ranking in NetherRealm MK games based on gameplay: -MKX -MK1 -MK9 -MK11

Hot take: Mk11 was the final Mortal Kombat where the characters each had a purpose but since every universe has their own Titan, it kinda makes introducing Onaga pointless because all the main hero would have to do is make peace with other titans of various characters from other universes to beat him. I know a lot hate Kronika, but with all these titans over various timelines kinda defeats the purpose of a Titan.

Bro netherealm studio lied to us all man, they said liu kang wouod be facing against an enemy he hasnt faced before and it not only turned out to be shang tsung but the original shang tsung he already beat in mk11 aftermath. I was personally hoping to see liu kang face someone like (ONAGA) the dragon king is like the thanos or darkside of mortal kombat and the guy needs to be shown why everyone fears him and also why the logo is a dragon

The game isn't perfect, but MK1 is my favorite MK game to date!!!

I would LOVE to see Invasion to have a Mario Party-esque overhaul to make it accessible for both Main and Cameo characters to play as. And as old as MK IS, they have enough items, relics trophies, etc. to make a board game strategy with. Why waste all this opportunity , you know?

I just wish Sareena was playable and not just a kameo, she's a character I've wanted since MKX, and she was on a personal wishlist of characters I wanted leading up to MK1 release. I think certain kameos would have been better as playable instead of just being a kameo (Stryker, Sareena, Tremor are the three for me)

ALSO thank you for all your great MK vids! Love them!

This was a great piece, enjoyed it alot

This was a great vid, Cage

0:55 I like krypt more than invasions

What we need: Kustom fights, test your luck.

I love that you're using ISuper's clips in this video! Legit Homage! 💯💯💯

MK11 is superior than MK1 Reason: 1.) 3 gear 2.) Custom intro, outro 3.) cancel opponent breakaway (god I love it) 4.) Kronika boss is better than Titan Shang Tsung in (MK1: Final Chapter) 5.) Krushing Blow 6.) Breakaway>Breaker 7.) Mini-Jump 8.) Krypt

I want a 2v2 mode. Two player teams vs one another. If both you and your teammate win, you win. If you win but your teammate loses, you fight the opponent of your teammate. THIS WITH VOICE CHAT WOULD BE SO HYPE

We really liked this video. Thanks

2:15 well at least you get the full bundle unlike MK11!

Please do a part 2

That Clip from Super tho!👌

3:30 MK just needs to allow us to play as villains throughout the story mode to help flesh out the story more

Hot take: Kotal's panther attack and Reptiles shape-shifting abilities are ground laying for Beast Boy's gimmick in INJ3

I feel like the multiverse stuff was an excuse for them to have more skin variations to sell. Skins for undead Lui Kang, Old Lui Kang, Young Lui Kang, etc. lol.

i feel like the release schedule for dlc has been great

Mk x is my favorite mortl kombat game and 9

The premium shop actually tells you what items are exclusive and what other items you can get from the shrine... The exclusive ones are marked, those cannot be obtained by the shrine...

13:36 its not a prediction, its a spoiler!

I’m glad your spirit is up after Janet came out!❤

... and Paul Heyman

Honestly Ermac is one of my favorite ninjas, only reason I’m coming back to mk1 is cause of him.

They should have injustice 2 customization in mk1 imagine people creating cool skins with inj2 customization

I’ll honestly say Shang Tsung from MK1 especially in the story mode and his voice is sooooo good.

Ugh how did a miss this. You're probably glad because... you know why.

It took me too long to realize Caboose is in the thumbnail

Hey uncagedgamez! How come you never did a review for MK legends cage match?

Part 2 please

Just need more game modes

Thanks for including my INVASIONS board game tweet! I made a whole video about the changes NRS could make to take INVASIONS in the right direction. It should be a mode people want to play not feel obligated to endure.

I want a part 2 video pl

Mortal Kombat party could be one of the best things they could make. It could have motor Kombat, Chess Kombat, test your might, test your sight, and so much more. That's how you make money.

I think it would be cool to give us the option to play without a Kameo Just to see the character strengths on their own and see some familiarity and callback to the older MK games. 2v2(ish) is fun, but the 1v1s were always a test of who was truly better at base without assistance BRING BACK TEST YOUR LUCK. That was so fun in MK9 and X. I miss it so much While you can argue people will see just how much Kameos do for this game, I believe you can go without them and master your character's raw power could be really good. Master the base without Kameo, you can get an even better understanding of which kameo can fit your character. Unless you just never go back to Kameos 😂

I think a hot take would be improving the grind, it gives more reasons to keep playing the game. Imagine having to rank a character like subzero to the max to unlock a noob saibot skin? Or having to complete the story for young version on shang tsung? Even an og remade shao skin without the horns etc. The only good looking smoke skin is the winter one imo, but they have such a huge oppertunity to add things like they are with new moves for rain, reptile and scorpion. Even shujinko. King jerrod skin for ermac? 😅 maybe this game is a tester to see what theyve done right and what they can improve on or may add into the next game. I believe injustice 3 may be in the works too so we might see what the fans want then too

MK1 is fun. I have played fighting games at a casual level my whole life. Didn't have Internet growing up so I only played locally with friends and family and didn't even know combos were a thing until I eventually got internet and saw people play online. I never played online until MK 1. I've played every MK game, grew up poor so we had old systems even when newer stuff was out so I grew up with MK trilogy and the 3D games even when MK trilogy came out before I was born. I also started actually taking time to learn how to play fighting games when Injustice 2 came out. Also played a lot of MK 11, mostly just to grind towers lol, but I have to say. Out of all the games, even revisiting MKX and MK9, MK1 was easily the easiest and most fun to play. First there aren't a lot of confusing mechanics in MK1 that are in other games. Sprint, stamina, air escapes, ground escapes, and so on. Injustice 2 and MK11 were a lot harder in my opinion. Mostly having to manage meters, as the only way to combo was to use meter unless you play Fujin, was difficult. In those games it felt like in order be effective at all you had to know a lot of these systems and know when to use them. With MK1 it can be as simple or as hard as you want it to be. You can play a character that has a bunch of move cancels and mixups with a kameo that you puppet around or just play a simple character and a kameo that just extends your kombos a little. Mk1 was a hell of a lot easier to understand to me and allowed me to learn more complicated stuff as I wanted or stay with simple but still be effective. This was the first game where I was easily discovering combos on my own without needing to look up videos on characters and the best meter combos starters and so on. Up blocking I saw was a thing in reviews before the game came out so when the game came out I just practiced pressing up on jump ins and now it's become second nature. Combos are incredibly easy and the game was a lot easier to understand, at least to me, than every other MK game and like I said I have played them all. As for those who don't like the Kameo system, it honestly just feels like an MK game where you can choose your own Injustice Trait. The combat is incredibly fluid and combos can be incredibly easy or incredibly hard depending on how you want to play. The game can either be the easiest or the hardest in the series and that really depends on how you choose to play. If you think the game is too hard I'd say try an easy character with an easy kameo.

This will be the best mk of all time

I like how the thumbnail is correct

Mk went from cool 10 hour story to 4 hour story that it over markets

Caboose would definitely say mk1 is the best fighting game

Part 2

Mortal Kombat is missing a wonderful co-op RPG experience and mini games. It would be epic to see Mortal Kombat style Mario party mini games and obviously I don't think there's a fan out there who doesn't want either a remake of Shaolin monks or a new story in that style. The mods for MK1 for PC are ridiculous and I absolutely enjoy seeing how pretty much everything is being put into the game and I thought MK 11 had epic mods 😮

I'd rather have kameos than variations..

Fun to watch, Excruciating to play if not using a broken Top Tier. Story was amazing. Skins/Customization is pathetic… my main has 3 skins and only 2 are decent lmao…

Bro trying to save face but waited way too late to get on NRS AND WBs azz

I love MK1's gameplay, roster and a lot of the new designs for characters. However, no matter what your feelings are on this game, it was clearly not finished when it first launched and still isn't now. There is just so much more this game should be capable of since a lot of the missing content is already in the game. More special moves, test your might/survival towers to play with instead of them being locked only in Invasions, DLC alternate costumes for Quan Chi and Ermac, and all online modes having access to crossplay.

Im sorry but I feel most of you have forgotten how Krypts work and the grind they are, especially in MK11. Invasions is simple compared to krypts. I played every krypt in every game going back to Deception. When krypt is done that's it no more content, in mk11 you could replenish krypt. I did so many times but majority is konsumables or crafting material with no guide on what to craft with just a few select recipes. How do you earn currency for the krypt, obviously by fighting matches in single player mode, towers, ext. and unless you change the rounds you are going to have to fight 2 rounds each time. In Invasions most are single round matches and the chests always include skin, palettes, gear more is added each season. I play invasions to level up my characters while unlocking content in Invasions, in Dragon Forge, in the seasonal currency store and when leveling up my characters. I've spend hundreds of hours in krypts and hundred plus in Invasions and here you get the best of both. Quicker matches to fight and access to actual character customization content. Krypts are a grind and having to search all over for chests you replenish in MK11 is a pain. I can't wait for next season of Invasions where Dark Raiden will be bringing the Thunder and lightning!

I remember the fake mkx combat pack revel reaction with T-600, nemesis, spown, jigsaw

Kreate a fighter in MK1 is the biggest missed opportunity! Not only does the game contain the Armageddon storyline but they've basically been building up to it. There have been customization options for special moves, intros/outros, gear pieces/ costumes, and now even fatality customization. All of that on top of the mutiverse timeline and gender swaps.The end of story mode was literally everything Kreate a fighter could have been.

Here’s a hot take: The Mileena Season 4 skins with the Mohawks and green colors are not nearly as bad as people are making them out to be. Yes they don’t fit Mileena and should’ve came with Havik season, but they still look good enough

My fave mk game

Yes I feel like MK1 is the best MK1 game out but that’s my opinion 🔥🫡💪🏽💯The dlc line up is good in MK1 people have understand how MK1 is

Still saying it - not having Red Hood as DLC should be a crime.

I seriously hope that injustice 3 doesn't have cameo fighters

Story was the best until the ending when the Titan Shang shit happened. Completely killed the whole vibe. The fact Onaga is just sidelined instead of being this timelines badass is just such a miss

I feel like they are really going to gag us when the 2nd half of the story comes out. And I also think the characters will start to roll out faster.

Mk9 story was gas. Ermac ripped Jax arms off, scorpion x'd subzero. Raiden x'd Liu kang. Kratos was playable. Sonya was 🔥. Tag team was dope. Ridiculous combo strings. Unbalanced af at first.

Ok I feel like RayShot was just thinking of everything and just accusing it without evidence, like the mk11 and mk1 skins are the same except mk11 put like 50 freaking color pallets that didn't even match. And then mk11 I feel like had worse micro transactions because you couldn't even f###### buy the full bundle like rains classic skin without waiting for the f##### shop refresh which the shop was down right bad. And then mk11s movement felt clunky and off because of how you moved but yea I feel like mk11 is just worse I know it's a hot take but in my opinion it's not good

I enjoy MK11 it's my second favourite game first being MK9

major hot take: Bring back the chess mode

MK9 is the greatest MK game ever made and I will die on this hill.

13:35 👀 *UnCagedGamez* x *WWE* games again???

Yo cage I found a Easter egg in the mk1 story in sindel chapter on the subtitles it’s says mk12_148_154,11 do u want to check it out

You got 2 spaces in front of YOUR

I had more fun in mk11 than I'm having with mk1 , I put 300+ hours into mk11 and I've put 50 into mk1 and I'm done .

Man I just want the online/pc port to run well

Honestly I don't really like the mechanics in mk1 I feel like it makes for cheep combos (having to do the same move repeatedly in the same combo to get a good chain) and throwing in the kameos idk for me it's just not as fun. I know it'll never happen but I wish there was a mode where there were no kameo fighters

700th like! 👍

People are so quick to hate.. Its crazy

It’s crazy that I’m writing my English final on video game micro transactions, simply based on mk1, like do they think they’re fortnite now ….

my biggest issue with mk1 is why do the dlc have such wide range of move sets and abilities and the main rosters limited I feel if they treated main roster the same attention as the dlcs it be more rounded overall better game just my opinion 💯

Every new MK game was better - in its own way - than the previous ones. That's why they are so great and NRS alwys does such a great job since the first reboot (MK 9). Which doesn't make the older games "bad" or something, they are simply products of their time and I still enjoy playing MK 9 and MK 10 (X) - even these days. They just don't look and feel as good as the current MK1, of course.

They just need a mk 11 part 2 lmfaooo

More kamoes no more me. thanks

I think Geras’ MK11 voice actor should have reprised the role in MK1 instead of Phil LaMarr

Is it a problem that i would have said what the thumnail tweet said

I think Homelander will be save Mk1 Because Homelander is the legend for Mk1 i Hope Homelander will be awesome

This isn't a hot take, but I once wanted to do a MK12/13 type game that'll take place afterwards in MK1! But due to the low performance of MK1 (plus I really hate the game), I might as well cancel it. *MK9 AND MKX ARE BETTER ANYWAY*

Is it safe for Cage to review hottakes 😮..don't they blacklist content creator with "negative opinions" . I would like a part two just be careful don't say anything that they might not like

And they also screwed PS4 for Nintendo Switch 💀

It’s a fun but flawed game. The cameo system seemed like a good idea but just executed poorly

Kameos shouldn't have been a thing. Every character should be playable

Here's my hot take: online gaming is fucking stupid. Especially for fighting games like MK1. That shouldn't even be a factor in fighting games.

😃

I do NOT get the hate for this game. I’m not saying it’s the best but I do love it. It’s the best one since MK2 probably.

Lmfao when they input the new modes into *MK1* all y’all gon be glazin tf all over the *Mortal Kombat* franchise again 💀💀💀 cuz imagine hating *Invasion* so much you’re then forced to play it in order to know your way around an open world *Krypt*
