Mortal Kombat 1 - How to Choose your Main Character!

**EDIT** CHOOSE A KAMEO IS NOW LIVE BY POPULAR DEMAND. Linked in the video description, check it out! Its that time again, Mortal Kombat 1 has launched to lets go over the entire roster and help you find out what characters you might be interested in! Also since making this video the day 1 patch has dropped with a few small changes I will update right here, otherwise, enjoy, leave a like if you could and thanks for watching! NITARA - Her giant blood laser now special cancelable into air special moves TANYA - her buff is like 4x faster than the original build, and when 2 buffs are stocked, when she dash cancels normals she keeps momentum helping her slide across the screen. Really helps neutral, even better than what shes described as in the video LIU KANG - his stand 1 got changed to 6f startup. So the section where I gush about kung lao's 6f? All that now applies to Liu Kang. Shao - Not any one thing, but a bunch of his frame data is better now. He had a bit of MK11 Shao problems, and he's now better off.

As someone who doesn't have the money to buy every new fighting game, these videos are immensely helpful for my viewing experience of the tourneys. They let me know each characters' gameplans and key moves so I can look for them during the matches.

Been playing scorpion for 22 years and I gotta say he feels amazing in this game. I love the Scorp+Jax combo

Had to go with Reptile. He has so many good pokes and juggle tools and is over all just super fun to play. Also can we all just take a moment to appreciate his new design concept because this is easily the best he has EVER looked! The shapeshifting idea was genius.

I gave Nitara a quick go to see how she played and didn't really gel with her. Seeing this video she is a lot more involved than I thought. I'll definitely go back to her and try to learn her properly because that blood sacrifice ability is wild! Great video. Currently maining Li Mei and Reptile though and loving them!

I am always impressed how fast you are able to learn these characteristics and make these videos

I feel bad that you had to grind so hard to get this out but I’ve been SO hype to watch this since release!!!!!

Just a few minutes into this, and I love it! Thank you for your descriptions of the moves, what they look like, what they do, etc. I am a blind gamer, and I cannot wait to get my hands on this game!

They fixed literally every issue with scorpion from mk11. So hyped! Better range, can't neutral duck everything and a launch without any meter. PERFECT

Reikos space control is wild, any character that has stubby normals struggles against him

I like these videos for not only the information on choosing a character (even though I know my main’s been Shao since announcement), but also for gaining some insight into what to look out for when playing against other characters. Thanks, Rooflemonger! Can’t wait for the character specific guides.

Reiko is honestly surprising me! The "long reaching normals, fast approach, with beefy fireballs and a sprinkling of grappler" reminds me of Leo from GG and to a lesser extent Deejay from SF6

Gravitated towards Havik for just being a "goofy" character and was having a good time but very glad to have seen the strings he can pull off to really up his game 😊

I'm going to main the whole roster. Every character looks awesome and fun.

You make fighting games so much more accessible and easier to understand. Thank you for all the work and in depth explanations, they are so incredibly helpful and I have fun watching your vids even on games I don't play or ones I'm thinking about.

Thank you. I quickly played each character in training while watching this and now I have more confidence with each of them. Just like sf6 you have helped me get better tremendously.

Can always count on Rooflemonger to make a solid, quick character overview guide when a game comes out. Can also usually count on him being one of, if not the first to get it out there.

Hands down the best MK coverage on YouTube! Keep up the awesome work!

What about Kameos you ask? Is it time for Choose a Kameo? Maybe! Just uh, let me grind them out I don't have them all yet lol. Kameos are a huge part of the game and yes we will go over them all, expect that video in a day or two! And of course plenty more MK1 content to come. Now though since this video took me 21 hours to make, I am gonna get some sleep!

Im going with Reiko Reiko moves like an actual martial artist He shoots for a double leg takedown like a freestyle wrestler His parry is an X block And his normal and combo attacks are basic kickboxing Its satisfying to see
