Stryker felt like the most "honest" character in mk9. No one could ever complain you were cheap or using an op character, just hard reads and skill

The thing is, Stryker’s portrayal in MK9 was actually really good imo, Matthew Mercer played him incredibly well and despite his play style being meh and his placement on the tier list of the game being low, it was MK9 that made me finally like his character, he doesn’t need to be more, he IS a cop and he IS a normal dude, that’s what a lot of people like myself like about him

Everyone hated Stryker because all he did was have gun attacks, yet Cassie, Jax, and Erron had those same attacks and are beloved.

I’d actually really like to see Striker make it into MK12, either in the base roster or as DLC. There’s so much potential there that’s just been wasted

"He wasn't just a cop. He was Super Cop." - Jax (MK11)

I always loved how Stryker, upon seeing mileena in a skimpy outfit, immediately labeled her as a threat by deduction. Dude is based af

Honestly I love Stryker because he’s actually a normal person stuck in a crazy place. And I hope Stryker does return as one of the revenants cause his design would be super cool

A little correction to be made: Jax in mk2 is exactly how they wanted Stryker in the game, the only thing changed was his name, and then in MK3 they made a new cop character and made his name Stryker

I always liked him because he's always been the underdog. Everyone else has something that makes them special, and then there's Stryker with nothing but a few police weapons. He had to make bullets, grenades, and a police baton work against elder gods, movie stars that replace stuntmen and special effects with inherited powers, and everything in between.

Stryker and Kabal’s friendship was one of my favourite parts of mk9 I’m really sad we never saw it again it has loads of potential

Stryker was a great addition, very ground based honest character. Unlike other characters like ancient gods, ninjas, cyborgs, sorcerers and so, he's just a regular police officer stuck in a very dire situation. And managed to pull himself out of it with his tonfa and his gun. An amazing character indeed.

I've never seen someone throw shade at Stryker until this video, AND THIS MAN DECIDED TO CALL HIM ONE OF THE WORST OF ALL TIME.

I knew he had it bad. But I didn't know it was THIS bad XD

Stryker is actually a great character imo he's the normal guy stuck in the midst of a war between realms he's doing all he can to help out and protect people he's actually probably the most heroic character in the series he's got no special powers but he's there on the front line to save everyone

Stryker absolutely gets carried by his MK9 appearance, but I legitimately like him as a character. I think the fact that he's a normal guy who's in over his head and uses guns and grenades to match the power of stronger characters is kinda cool, and it sort of reminds me of how Batman is just a guy with gadgets. He's not my favorite, but I hope he makes a return to MK someday.

I like how ppl consider stryker as a huge failure when characters like Kai actually exists

I love how everyone in the comments is standing up for this guy. I always had a soft spot for him too for being the most down to earth fighter on the roster in spite of everyone else around him. Taking the mundane and holding his own against Outrealm’s worst with it.

I always liked Stryker. I like the idea of a normal guy standing with all these wizards and gods and being able to just beat them to a bloody pulp with nothing but police equipment. He was like the badass underdog.

Absolutely loved Stryker. He felt like the most purely skill based character out of everyone in MK2011 and he was so likeable.

I genuinely liked Stryker in MK3, his design was a lot more unique and he was just something different. I always picked him when my dad and I would play Trilogy. The pose that he did after he shot his gun in the air was always pretty cool.

I think Stryker is awesome. He shouldn't get the hate that he gets. People hate him for being a normal human being fighting Gods, Demons, Shokans and Tarkatans. While the same People love Batman and Sonya Blade for the same reason.

Growing up in Brazil playing UMK3 in locadoras (pretty much spots full of consoles where you paid by the hour to play games) I remember that Stryker was one of the most popular characters: people just loved him for using a baton, grenades and a gun against mages and ninjas and robots. His taser fatality was one of the favorites too.

It sucks that they never took the vigilante route with Stryker. He could be a compelling character if in a future game they give us some lore that after a mortal kombat tournament Stryker realized that the realms need him to be more than just a cop. Give him a red hood sort of style.

That's very strange, because here in brazil stryker is a very popular character, many people played stryker and kabal, many even ignored scorpion and subzero. I remember when i first played mortal kombat 9 with my uncles and cousins, the uncles always chose stryker or kabal and tried to do the old super nintendo moves... crazy to think.

You have to admit, it is impressive how they gave him the honor of defeating Reptile, Mileena, Kintaro, and Ermac in a row!

The main reason I've always loved Stryker was because he basically is the embodiment of Humanity Grit. No matter the odds, no matter all the magic and gods and monsters, he still fights. Human Grit is the main reason I find it so hard to pick anything other than humans in any game that allows different species.

Stryker has been my favorite character since 3. I loved how ridiculous he looked, and the contrast of his fighting style being completely practical instead of supernatural. That blue and white outfit is iconic to me. While I still liked his character in the later games, I will say I thought the outfit change was a little disappointing. I just loved how goofy he looked and they took that away. At least he got to come back. Even if it was just a few games.

A SWAT officer fighting ninjas, monsters, and Gods?? While still being a down to earth character??? Its amazing he was hated at all. Stryker not being a DLC at all was a crime

I always really liked Stryker. The fact that he doesn't have special powers is what set him apart & made him fun.

I think MK needed a ground level view of the universe, and Stryker provided that. Not every character has magical powers or sci fi tech to battle outworld. If demons fell from the sky and the world came crashing down, there would definitely be normal people stubornly trying fight back despite the odds being heavily against them. I think to myself I took a vow to fight all enemies foreign and domestic, that includes outworld heh. Having the grit and will to face down whatever the universe throws at you whatever you got to fend for yourself even if you die, you died on your feet. That is who Stryker is.

I love how the guy in the video said "Stryker is one of the least liked characters in mk" when he is always in one of the top 5 characters asked to come back since mk9

Stryker is one of my favorite characters in the mk3, he’s the only realistically normal character in the game, like no magic powers or something, and having the ability to destroy all these magic like characters is just incredible.

I always liked Stryker, the fact that he’s just a regular guy caught up in an inter-dimensional invasion while doing his job trying to help the military push back the “alien” forces that invaded his home hellbent on killing people. He honestly should’ve survived the event of MK9 and been there helping Sonya, and Johnny beat back Shinnook. And his transition from Cop to Special Forces would’ve been so easy given that in his old MK bio he was ex-military, but him being in the Special Forces would’ve took away from the conflict between Johnny and Sonya which I didn’t like personally but I understood what they were going for with

I find it weird how you didn't mention the infamous Stryker beating Ermac stuff. I wouldn't call that a failure, but you did keep mentioning how Stryker is hated/joke character to most of the community.

Honestly the idea of a random normal cop fighting these gods is amazing to me

Even though he was still just a cop, it’s really impressive that he beat Reptile, Mileena, Ermac, and Kintaro all in the same day.

Funny thing is when Stryker was gone after MK3 I forgot what he looked like and what he did but I remembered in my subconscious that there was someone named Stryker. When MK Armageddon dropped that trailer and it showed him punching Mileena I instantly knew that was Stryker. However I thought punching people was what he did and why he was called Stryker 😂

note: he does have a very brief cameo in MK11, appearing in the final scene of Robocop's ladder ending as they stormed OCP headquarters with Sonya, Jax, and Kabal (pre-burn treatment)

As someone whose first introduction to MK was MK9, Stryker immediately became a favourite. Just your everyday gigachad rolling over everyone without any crutches. They really did him dirty.

I grew up playing Mortal Kombat with my father and he ALWAYS chose Stryker. He would even quote "Stryker Wins" to me just to p*ss me off. Since I couldn't beat him I just used to always select Stryker to be my punching bag in practice mode.

I think the fact that Stryker does not have powers should be used to make him more interesting as character. But for that to happen he must appear in a game first, and pray for Netherealm do justice with this character, and considering what Netherealm has done to Kung Lao... Well, F for Stryker

I loved the idea of Stryker, just a regular cop, being a Champion of Earthrealm just due to the sheer fact he's a legitimately good person. It's a shame how they wasted such potential with him.

There are so many other characters who can be considered worse mistakes than Stryker: Mavado, Kobra, Li Mei,, Jarek. At least Stryker got to appear in more than one installment in the franchise 😅

Stryker had appeal to me because he was not some supernatural or larger than life character. He was just a run of the mill police officer thrust into a crazy situation he was forced to adapt to. I also liked the use of conventional weapons like firearms, which as an American is totally relatable. The use of firearms would later go on to become even more prominent with Erron Black's character

I always liked Stryker. And I think they got something good with his past partnership with a rehabilitated Kabal. Not everyone can be a god, mutant or human with strange mystic powers. I do think he needs a arsenal upgrade like they did for Sonya Blade.

I love Stryker, he's one of my favorite MK characters.

I swear I've always appreciated Stryker, as a kid to this day I know it was an idea to have someone with no powers or flashy moves to be put in the game. And I kinda wish they upgraded his equipment like jaxs arms. I believe there's more Ws that could've went around for Stryker than Ls. But Ed boon, midway, and netherrealm studios didn't see it. F in the chat, I'm sorry Stryker :((

5:00 that was one meeean punch... geeeze, he gave her special education with that punch! 😅

I always saw stryker as like a bruce Willis in die hard kind of guy but with Monsters and ninjas and stuff. Always liked that concept, personally. Would love to see it brilliantly executed here

I always loved Stryker one of the best characters.

As a Stryker player I really miss him and love him In all 3 games he made it in. He deserves another chance I know they could make him as cool and fun to play as in MK12 they need to do it give this man justice. Rip Stryker

I never understood Stryker’s hate. My first time actually seeing him I was STUCK because he seem the most “human” in the series. (So outside of the whole Police stuff he felt relatable) Yeah iknow mk is filled with Monsters, Ninjas & Sorcerers but (& I’m just in that minority) I’ve always loved the Military/Police style characters because it brung the diversity.. Characters like Jax, Sonya & Stryker showed me you don’t have to be this crazy OP god to kick ass lol I can even say the same for Kano, Cassie & Jacqui

One character I would like to hear more about is Mavado. I never heard anyone who really dislikes him, even less anyone who thinks he doesn't belong, but he's also not talked about at all, and no one really claims for him to come back. It's weird how he flies under the radar even when compared to the likes of Reiko, Jarek and Kobra.

I always thought it was interesting that Stryker was the most regular looking guy imaginable, but that he somehow fit in well with the post apocalyptic theme of mk3. The backstory in mk3 is that everyone's souls on earth were stripped from them except a handful of chosen warriors, and one of those chosen was a regular ass dude like Stryker. Idk it just seemed to fit well for some reason. And I do remember people picking him in mid 90's arcades.

I've loved Stryker ever since the sucker punch incident with Mileena in MK:A. I've never laughed harder during any moment in the series. MK9 brought him to a good level, I feel.

I still want to see Stryker come back for MK12, I wanted him in MKX and MK11. Having him return as a revenant would have been great, and having a story about fighting the revenants and trying to restore them with Quan Chi and Shinnok as the big villains would have been great. Then just having the normal guy working to save the world in MK11 would have been fucking awesome. He should absolutely return in a story reset with MK12.

The fact they had Robocop instead of Stryker is infuriating. They opted for a yet another cyborg with no character in his gameplay over an actual cop WITH personality and would fit right in with their discount gi joe aesthetic, not to mention the potential for great character interactions.

I genuinely like striker in mk9 he was a near character, the fish out of water, the everyman seeing this crazy shit for the first time. Even Johny cage had powers and the others were aware of this stuff. He was a guy from the normal world fighting against monsters and he had personality

Watching this video now and having Stryker as a Kameo in mortal Kombat 1 really is a blessing for his torturous past

Stryker is like one of those guys in the movie who always suffering but still able to fight

I actually really like Stryker, I've always been a fan of the Average Joe archetype in fighting games, characters like Stryker and Frank West From UMVC

even robocop mentions stryker in mk11

WELP this aged well....

Honestly he needs to come back. Am gonna be honest i forgot striker existed but now that i see how cool and badass he can be i want to see him in a game. It would be a change of pace from fighting a fire ninja against a thunder god.

Mortal Kombat 9 was actually the game that got me interested in the series. And I used to actually like Stryker and thought he was a cool character. Also a bonus, as a wrestling fan I couldn’t help but notice he kind of looks like John Cena in mk9😂

I totally rocked with Stryker in UMK3. His baton attacks with properly timed grenade tosses could drop an energy bar by half. He was a defensive character, you just had to know how to use him

This didn’t age well

To me, him being a normal cop among all that magic and monsters is what makes him cool

I think one of the cool things about Stryker being a regular guy isn’t just his physical capabilities while using a significantly less effective range of weapons (compared to Sonya or Kano), but his personality and integrity. In MK9, Stryker and Kabal seemed like they were the only two regular law enforcement officers left (I could be wrong though, please correct me if I am) who were trying to help defend the city. He’s outmatched in fire power but that doesn’t stop him from engaging these monsters head-on, especially when his partner’s life is at risk. I feel like if we somehow get another MK story with him, his chapter would do best to showcase that unyielding drive by showing him saving civilians in the thick of it, alone until someone comes in to back him up.

Damn, I didn’t know the Kommunity hated Stryker so much. I always loved him, even in that blue shirt. I never even thought it looked goofy. I just thought he was a really good cop.

Thanks for the video

To be honest, I always liked Stryker (even MK3 version). I love the idea of normal guy, who's just doing his job, finding himself in the middle of Outworld invasion and has to fight demons, monsters and powerful ninjas with nothing but his own weapons. It makes him unique in weird sort of way. The issue with him, however, is that he doesn't really work in different scenarios other than invasion. While he works in MK3 and MK9 setting, I can't see him tagging along in Outworld during Deadly Alliance or being involved in time travel Endgame scenario like MK11/Aftermath.

Stryker has the strongest ability of all: GUN!

I honestly liked Stryker and don't remember him getting hate back in the MK3 days. I liked his portrayal and design in MK9 too. I think an appearance in MK12 would be cool but given the current political climate and negative attitudes toward police, it's unlikely.

I actually really liked Stryker in MK9 he had character but they just didn’t take it anywhere

For an Erron Black video, you could call it "the Luckiest Jobber NRS has made" considering he hasn't died onscreen in the story or really any character endings/intro dialogues that I remember.

Stryker is the meme we all want and deserve to have. So glad he's a kameo in MK1.

5:13 the way she screamed killed me XD☠️

Honestly Stryker has been one of my favorite characters since he came out back in 3. He was the first character I played with when Armageddon came out cause it had been so long since he was in a game.

I think something that could make Stryker more interesting is giving him a better story. Maybe make it where her starts off as a cop trying to do the right thing. Discovers that his department is pretty much controlled by the Black Dragons. He tries to fight it but nothing can get done. So he then becomes a vigilante. Make him like a mix between Batman and The Punisher. Give him guns but make him a master martial artist who dawns a a superhero type outfit while toting guns.

Honestly, the beginning stuff you said is why I like Stryker, he’s just some guy with 2 guns, a baton, a zapper and a flashlight It’s hilarious.

I think it's easy to assume when Cassie Cage was conceptualized, they had Striker's moveset in mind. Guns, batons, american martial arts. But then the twist of Cage's green glow. He was replaced again for the "new" heroes and still hasn't returned. I want to believe Striker's exclusion had to deal with the bad police sentiment that's been prevalent in recent years. That introducing a cop fighter now just gets you dogged on by Twitter and internet slacktivists. Striker would just be labelled as a controversial pick and his perfect timeframe to return in MK11 to mirror Kabal's return is just saddening. The guy helped get Kabal out of the Red Dragons and do some good for a change.

Stryker is technically in MK Deception, he's one of the characters locked up behind bars in the prison map. I also think he's seen in Konquest mode but I could be wrong on that, although many characters do show up as cameos on the overworld. I've always personally liked Stryker perhaps because I like characters with guns. But despite his lame design in MK3/UMK3/Trilogy, he's a pretty good character with powerful combos. MK9 fixed his design but his tier placement was much lower. Honestly I like that he's just a normal guy stuck in this war with people who obviously overpower him but he still puts his life on the line to save people which is extremely commendable and is imo deserving of respect. I think having a character be different from the usual in this case is a good thing. Also people hated Stryker so much that a magazine back when MK4 or MK Gold was releasing I forget which, anyway they made an obviously fake image of him in the game and acted like he was a popular character returning just to mock him. Also in MK1 and MK2 I think Stryker was actually originally going to be Jax just with the name Curtis Stryker before they changed it to Jax and eventually Jax was cut for Sonya in MK1 for the reasons you stated. It's crazy to think they've had the name floating around since the beginning though.

Lol, I started to like Stryker when I saw him punching Mileena right in her face. Best dude

" why does he have grenades" theres an outworld army invading earth when hes introduced. Wouldnt be surprised if he had nades

I’m excited since I saw his cameo in MK1 for this year! You learn to appreciate him!

There are MUCH worse characters than Stryker and I'd rather have him return instead of another "guest" character who adds zero to the story.

I always wanted MK to have a Batman/Punisher like character. One that doesn't have any special abilities but still finds ways to kick major ass. Too bad they couldn't give Stryker some real justice. But then again, aren't Sonya and Jax basically that? I mean they both have special abilities, but they seem more technology based.

Stryker was mentioned in Mortal Kombat 11 during an Intro Match between RoboCop and Jax: RoboCop: "I've been told about a cop named Stryker." Jax: "He wasn't just a cop; he was Super Cop." RoboCop: "It's too bad I cannot meet him."

The worst part is. They put him in mk1 WITH THE SAME UGLY OUTFIT FROM THE OLD MORTAL KOMBAT

Stryker was one of my faves in MK3 back in the day. I just loved his combos. His use of traditional weaponry actually made him unique because even most of the other human characters in the game had special abilities of some kind while he was using guns, grenades, and a baton. It's boring today because the concept is worn out, but back then it felt fresh to me.

You know what i don’t understand about Stryker??? How come everyone loves erron black if he’s just a cowboy from outworld with guns but everyone hates Stryker for being a Super Cop with no powers??? I also hate how they killed him in Mk legends so I don’t care what anyone says about him, he’s my favorite character in the Mk universe

The peak of Stryker was truly Armegeddon, along with MK9.

@ 5:15 that sucker punch always get me lmao 😂

Honestly I don't understand why the whole, "Oh Stryker is just a normal cop using normal weapons. Argument exists, in case no one noticed, Sonya is a normal human special forces officer, the only thing unique about her is that she has a few gadgets. Despite that, she still fights against demons, Ninja's, and sorcerers on a regular basis. I do agree his original design kind of sucked but really, he fits in just fine.

Loved stryker in mk 9 especially the fatality because the tongue of the opponent would just be flopping around in half a head. And he had solid mixups especially in the corner and the roll grab reaches full screen. Was super disappointed to not seeing him as a playable character in X or 11. But got to see him in 2 min of cutscenes. Was surprised Tremor wasnt in 11 in any capacity.

I thought the that guy in armageddon cut scene was Johnny Cage.

Stryker felt more like an actual person than any of the others in mk9. That's why I like him and why he should've survived

"Stryker is so lame, he uses guns" "Erron is so cool, he uses guns" 🤦🏻‍♂️
