the literall answer is because it was a carry over from Injustice 3 before it turned into MK1 its in the code named as "sidekicks" MK1 is just a bunch of hastily cobbled together things this is why they are playing catchup and are chasing thier tail its quite the spectacle to watch.

Straight up, the mk I've gone back to the most by a staggering landslide is mk9 because I love tag ladders so much. I could actually have fun playing it with my friends who weren't super skilled in it since it was co op. Even doing single player tag is so fun. That feature alone has kept 9 installed on my pc permanently.

Characters don't have enough depth or variety to do anything else. Everything has been figured out.

Let's start by saying NRS doesn't know how fighting games work. They were successful with some like 9 or X, but those were pretty lucky. They have trouble with what should be minus, what should be plus, frame advantage, blockstun, hitstun, even hitboxes... If I'm not mistaken, they use two-dimensional silhouettes instead of geometrical boxes. Even the poking that Brady mentioned. Poking should be fast. Everytime someone pokes, either if it hit or if it was blocked, the gameplay pauses for a second. It's not dynamic. Now imagine these guys doing something so complex like an assist game.

All most wanted was MK9's MK-iness and roster; MKX's gameplay and atmosphere; MK11's content and visuals; some decent mini-games and a tag play mode; all mashed together and refined for the modern day... Instead, NRS re-invented the hexagonal wheel, slapped it on a rickshaw, and called it a "Lamborghini" (and priced it accordingly). It's almost like the games they create are brainstormed inside a hermetically sealed vacuum; with the only outside influence being from terminal EGS/DEI afflicted boardrooms and do-or-die deadlines... That is the _only_ one can logically qualify how MK1 turned out.

Seriously, I think it's lots of fun. If you're an MK fan, you should be able to get your fix here. The problem is the overall product is so bad, those voices will always be drown out by people venting their frustrations with their skill set. I've been trying to get to the bottom of all this. I think, as a Baraka main, Baraka is really fun to play in this game! Super satisfying. Tom is a Sub Zero main - that says a lot about his opinion of the overall game, which does mean the game has flaws! Sub Zero sucks in this game, and one of this games flaws is I haven't found much incentive to learn anyone other than Baraka. The game has problems. Nobody is denying it! However, it generally averages an 8 outta 10 in professional reviews, which to me implies a game is good enough, but not great. And that's totally fair! I think an 8 outta 10 is right where it belongs. A far cry from the travesty being preached on this channel. Tom has been doing this for months. His criticisms are insanely excessive - but again, clearly Tom dedicated his life to this franchise, so he got burned the worst.. Whereas with me, MK1 is another welcome item on the menu for fighting games. Tastes good to me!

Here’s my thing on mk1. Kameos didn’t ruin the game. It is the gameplay design implemented into a “tag fighter” style gameplay. Nrs games hasn’t changed with the way you like an opponent. We’re watching the same approach to an opponent since mk9 so of course it is boring. Also the aesthetic can only go so far. Look at sf and tekken how beautiful the spark and special effects look like. Mk still has the same old design. Let’s be honest if the aesthetics and instead of Kameos we actually had a tag system similar to mk9 this game would’ve been godlike.

Absolutely no love or attention to detail went into developing this game. Check out what happens in MK1 when your character stands still for a while. Absolutely nothing. Now take a look at other fighting games, even previous NRS games, what happens if you stand still for a while. The characters in other games (even other NRS games) have these cool idle animations that they do if you stand still for a bit. Not MK1. The character just stands there no matter how long you remain idle. NRS couldn't even be bothered to give the characters in this game a idle animation. That's how little passion they had when making this game.

Because I am a little confused as to why any fighting game would have it such that my pressure against a cornered opponent is 4 pokes in sequence (unless one of those was a frame trap and I just don't realise?) I thought Jacqui Briggs had some pretty insane pressure and mind-games in MK11, did they take that away in patches as well?

MKX, in retrospect, is far and away the pinnacle of NRS's take on MK. Granted, viewed through the prism of nostalgia, MK9 was somewhat more MK-y than MKX -- especially, if you disregard the quality of / competitiveness of gameplay, and how poor earlier games were in said department. However, MKX is perfectly playable right now (it's the only MK I go back to and keep installed, and that is still fun to play), and looks better with each iteration that succeeded it... The latter reality being the most scathing condemnation of NRS and what it's done with the franchise since.

Same song and dance Mk 1 trailer came out and knew that kameos was going to be half baked since I played UMVC3 and compared the two games system since they have similar mechanics.

You nailed it. I've been saying this after month 1 of mortal Kombat 1. Another issue I have is that, everything is so juggle based that you can't get good damage on the ground unlike mk11 or 10. I know that mortal Kombat is a juggle style 2D fighter, but you had to work for that juggle and that combo. When every combo from every character in MK1 is poke, poke, launch, crazy damage. Every fight is practically the same and is so boring to watch. Then you add on to that all the crazy microtransactions and the lack of modes it's ridiculous. On the flip side you've got games like Tekken 8 and Street fighter 6 who's got mechanics that keep me guessing till the end every time I watch anybody playing it. I love mortal Kombat, but you couldn't convince me to buy mortal Kombat 1 with how the mechanics are.

For me it’s the cartoonish graphics and when you’re fighting and your cameo meter is on cool down,you’re basically just tryna survive until your cameo comes back..Without cameo these characters combos are very limited and BORING.

I tell you why is boring. It's a re-skin of the previous game with outdated, poorly integrated and programed mechanics, laughably embarrasing animations, bland art direction, stiff gameplay, awful and distasteful gore the players has to sit through again and again, on top of a greedy and expensive monetization schem...I mean system. If all of that sounds fun to you then you're the exact reason why NRS is getting away with it.

Tom u need to see this!!! There is key issue you probably never knew about with NRS's top level people. From Ed boon to Mike boon and all of the developers/managers. NRS's senior people are all inexperienced game devs. They lacked advanced game dev knowledge when it came to 3D graphics and desing. When MK4 released. Ed Boon explained to game pro magazine about how difficult it is to do 3D programming, and that it's a huge learning curve for their team. He emphasized that everything from animations to gameplay was a challange for them. Remember, their dev team previously took 2D pictures and turned it into a game. They had no concepts of movement or animation. My point is that these people never really learned proper high quality game development skills. They learned what they understood and recycled that over and over. You can see it in every game, they don't understand the deep level of programming as other game devs when it comes to animation, gameplay, networking, fighting game philosophy. I can keep going MK1 has the same movement/feel and awkward hit mechanics as MK Deadly Alliance and MK Armageddon

What do you think about this take on mk1. This game punishes you far more than any mk. When I watch and played mkx the average combos were 25-36% outside a few characters. This game it is very easy to get 2 touched with 45% combos being very easy to do. On top of that a combo breaker is also 3bars of meter. This makes the risk/ reward not worth doing unsafe moves at a high level. Therefore leading towards this boring and safe play style. That’s how I’ve viewed this game since day one and why I think this games has become boring and watered down.

Hello Tom, I'm pretty new to fighting games, I discovered you when I wanted to learn Sub Zero as a main. I watched your 40 minute guide (Dashfight) and was amazed at how you explained it for beginners like me. I learned more about Sub in this guide than five videos combined from other content creators. My motivation was/is that I want to be good at a genre I'm not familiar with. I mainly play competitive Counter-Strike and have more or less 5000 hours. I was really hoping that by following your channel I can accumulate more in depth knowledge and improve myself. But unfortunately the content I've been seeing from you lately isn't what I expected, because it seems like you've made it your mission to badmouth the game. Criticism is important but in your last 10 videos alone you just badmouth MK1 and there seems to be no end to it. I may not be an expert on fighting games but I see that this channel has become all about badmouthing. I will unfollow you for now but will come back from time to time to see if you are making content that appeals to me again. Until then I wish you and your community all the best.

Take a shot every time you hear “Poke”! I agree with you Tom. I got bored of this game 1-2 Months after the release. You can instinctively feel that bad Mechanics of this game, especially after playing SF6 and Tekken 8. Those games are miles ahead of MK1 despite the amazing graphics. Very sad. I wasted $109 😢. I mainly play SF 6 now and have been more satisfied.

I mean theres literally no winning with people for anything. I enjoy this game a lot more then MK11 ten fold. MKX in my opinion is still the best because the constant rush down and race to see who gets mixed first. But, people cried about that game too. “Oh everyone has mixups its fucking bullshit.” Like cmon, they literally nerfed the shit that made the game boring and people are still crying like do you really want to see more Raidens d1 stormcell? Its fun for the player whos doing it but not for the people who play against it. If you hate the game so much Tom stop covering it and go play SF6 or Tekken 8.
