Reptile has more personality in this trailer than in ANY other MK ever (including the movies)
In the movies? That's not even Reptile in those movies, it's just a lizard crook
@@ErectusEnormousimma be real I don’t blame them for thinking it was reptile it was the only lizard we seen so far in the movie 😭😭
That shot of Reptile and Baraka walking before the Shaolin is everything to me.
Our dear jobbers are finally getting respect.
It’s so nice to see. They really ain’t bad guys, just served the wrong people
Raiden was always too paranoid and vindictive to accept the assistance of Outworld races. Makes perfect sense that the more open-minded and zen Liu Kang would welcome Baraka and Reptile to the bright side with zero hesitation. 👌👌
@countdarkmire1759 Shao and Reiko were on jobber duty so hard in the story it wasn't even funny
I love that Reptile's human costume has the loin cloth draping down to his ankles in the back, mimicking the tail that he has in his reptilian form. Such a great little detail
Yes And also the scales on his shoulder pads are another dope detail. Ed and the team really snapped on this one 🔥
Whoever in the design department was allowed to cook this up, get them a %500 raise
Reptile & Havik have absolutely _PHENOMENAL_ animations. I couldn't be happier with this.
Agreed. Havik's animations are surprising good. But Reptile's is a no brainer. It's something that should be expected especially by now.
@@Waltersopapparently he's another character who gets mutated *into* Havik, so that could be why
@@big.gib.4L yeah, so perhaps his transformation isnt complete. Becuase all i see right now is an ordinary guy with a fucked face instead of an insane zombie! But thats just à nitpick.
Bringing back human Reptile is absolutely amazing! Also making him a shapeshifter in order to keep lizard Reptile as well was so smart! He looks so dang amazing! I can't wait!
one detail i really like that i just noticed is that his little sash is also his tail, its a really neat little detail.
@@bug1494 Yeah I noticed that too, super cute detail, props to the character designers for doing that
He's always been a shape shifter, that's not new to his lore.
He is part of a reptilian race that can shape shift to look human, but the longer he stays away from his race the more feral he became and slowly loses the capability to shift.
They just now finally decided to put it in story for once instead of just reducing him to jobber.
I think that collective cheer when Havik showed up just SHOWS how long we've been clamoring for him for ages.
@@thegoodstuff3148 the vast majority of the 3d era fans think havik is one of the best characters characters introduced in those games
There wasnt a "large majority" that didnt think he was good dont try to rewrite history
@@thegoodstuff3148 i havent even seen the4thSnake video on him but if you do watch him you know most characters in the series only have *potential* in the end of the day that is never realised
Also i grew up with the 3d era as well i have never see anyone during that time that hated him other then the people who hated everyone of the 3d era with just doesnt seen to be a thing anymore
The discourse of the 3d era characters is generally favorable when people are talking about havik he us usually considered one of the good ones and hes pretty much a fan favorite who has been requested to appear ever since mk X
@@thegoodstuff3148
Dude people have been asking for 3D era characters in every game. Like Tanya and Bo Rai Cho in X, and Fujin and Frost in 11. People have been waiting on Nitara, Reiko, Havik, Khameleon, Onaga etc. Just because you don't care doesn't mean other fans don't.
7:03 I like how Havic just goes like a zombie with the head twisted when a cameo is fighting, and the fact that he just rips a limb to beat the shit out of you, amazing stuff!!
And also at 3:34 its hard to see so watch in slow motion the kick he does before he rips his arm. His leg splits in 2 and connects back and at 3:44 his body just contorts as he moves away.
@@mmm6325 they made him creepier than before. I guess because he looks and moves like he could actually be real now.
Yeah I had watch the trailer multiple times to catch all the crazy shit Havik does. Like snapping his neck open to hurl a giant blood ball. Or stabbing Ashrah with the bones in his forearms for his Fatal Blow (because I thought those were spiked gauntlets at first, but no his arms are cut off and he uses the exposed bones to stab Ashrah).
Reptile having a human AND monster form is so freaking smart! I love it!
Plus, the reptile-form looks more like killer croc than just a green dude.
@@psychee1 Don't say stupid things, the previous Reptiles were great.
Ashrah looks phenomenal like a perfect redesign, and Reptile actually being important this time is so cool
Havik and Sareena look great too
Man I’m going to have a great time with this game better than 11
I’m happy for Rep mains that he’s finally going to be given *things to do* in story.
@Verxx-sc2tl she looks very good imo I still love her OG look from MKDA but tbh it's just Ermac that looks terrible and I hope he gets the joker treatment for he redesign if not I'll ONLY be using the Klassic Ermac Skin lol... 😂
@@D34DSL4Y3RI agree. Everyone looks amazing except ermac lol didn’t even know it was him at first
I love how they gave Sareena her demon form as a Kameo fighter. They really are giving both the former jobbers and 3d era characters some proper glowups.
I love how they’ve listened to the community about sought after characters. They always seem to drop the right characters at just the right times. Shoutout to the MK team.
I do hope for Nitara still. She deserves another chance! Also I love vampires so y'know.. Bias.
@@babytricep437 MK11 was a beautiful game that ultimately set this game up story wise.
The thing that really gets me is the half transformation, where he only partially turns into the reptile form. And it looked so fucking seamless, too
You’re “half” right. Reptile can completely shapeshift his body into his lizard monster form
he just seems to have pretty good control of the shapeshifting aspect like the half transformation but for a split second you could see him being able to manifest only the tail.
@@MegaDudeman21 he said he could only turn half his body into his true form and while that is true, the trailer showcases in gameplay and in certain story story cutscene that he can also completely shapeshift his entire body into his true form
@nickglover8738 reread his comment dude this is such reddit mod uhm actually behavior. Christ.
@@mikeyaustin7526 I see….god fucking damnit I let my interests at look at superpowers get the better of me
Wow Reptile and Baraka are graduating from minion/jobber #1 and #2 to being with the good guys it's probably the most surprising thing MK1 has shown so far.
They FINALLY gave Reptile some love & didn't make him a mindless sniveling jobber, gave him an actual personality & the shapeshifting aspect appeases people who wanted human or reptile version. Killing it with 3D era Kharacters. Havik, Ashrah, & Serena's updates are so sick.👏👏
I love that, because human reptile is the norm, his attacks when he turns full lizard are allowed to be wild and brutal. I particularly like the slide where he chomps their leg and does a crocodile roll.
Dude having all the ninjas on the roster is so hype. First time in my lifetime I think.
All? In the main roster we're missing Noob Saibot, Tremor and Chameleon, but yes I like that we have almost every ninja 😁😁😁
@@krimsonmadness2110we're still getting most of those in dlc, its just noob who's preoccupied being sub zero
I fear those ninjas will be kameo only, one can hope they will be main staple kharacters
It’s crazy how these trailers just keep getting better and better.
I'm loving Ashrah's new design, and I'm glad they kept the idea of her seemingly purifying her own soul as a demon
@@maxgray2807 Me too, I hoping they have a classic costume as throwback
@@d30n6 I saw that after it was mentioned, but I don't know if that just for that cutscene or not.
My favorite detail of reptiles is that the slide move has him doing a crocodilian death roll, genius
There! Thanks for watching🤍I’m giving out GAMING CONSOLES/PC randomly!! I’ve picked you fam🥳 hit👍🏻
@3:06 I love that gator roll animation there for Reptile. Awesome.
Back in the day, my favorite MK characters were Baraka and Reptile, so seeing them redone so well in MK1 is fantastic for me. Just seeing how both of them (among the rest of the revealed fighters) are being treated in the new game is enough to make me much more interested in MK1 compared to the last two MK titles. Can't wait to see how the other fighters shape up.
Same, my boys are getting some respect on their names as originals from the first 2 games.
Personally I don’t like the idea of the Tarkatans being diseased as apposed to being a race but that’s just me. As for Reptile, the first MK I played was Shaolin Monks and he was my favourite in that and that is my favourite design but I love this one too and it’s great he actually has some character now instead of just being a jobber
this game really feels like a magnum opus for MK series. it looks stunning and the combat looks insanely good.
You clearly haven’t played U3, 9 and X if you think this game looks good gameplay wise.
@@PetterNe are you being serious right now. this game is inovative with how you can use the cameos. The designs are gorgeous and clean. the gameplay looks super tight. what are you on about. i think since your a hater you shoudl go chat on thread for those games instead. go away.
1:31 That Reptile human face reveal, he looks so good! I love how he transforms back and forth from lizard to human form, definitely the standout from this trailer.
I'm so happy that his moveset seems similar to his mk9 and mkx fighting styles. It was awesome seeing reptile do a combination of lizard predator shit in combo with actually knowing how to properly kick your ass with hand to hand in mkx.
More like Alien, because he has the alien drop that the queen variant had
Reptile and Baraka's stories parallel each other.
Reptile's natural form is monstrous, but he has the power to look human whenever he chooses.
Baraka's was born normal but was cursed with a monstrous form at all times by the Tarkat disease.
I'm thinking they'll be best buddies in this timeline.
I'm not a fan of the 3D PS2 era Mortal Kombat trilogy, but it's really cool to see NRS bringing some much deserved love for that era with Ashrah and Havik. And Reptile looks absolutely amazing, I'm glad to see he FINALLY has a bigger role on the story beyond "mindless jobber who gets his ass beat a lot and then dies".
Same dude. I didn’t hate em, but they weren’t my favs and they weren’t all that good. But damn bruh these new redesigns are pretty sick 👌🏻
Finally they will get their chance to shine. Really eager to see all of them in action!
Can I just say that the character designs look absolutely amazing they just nailed it out of the park
@@Jormyyyyou cant be serious about that. She looks awful compared to mk4/mkx
Love how Havik is just falling apart with every move, Reptile looks amazing, the whole thing looks amazing. I'm really hoping they don't mess this one up, it's looking great.
Every character looked amazing Reptile best of both world with best human Reptile design and reptilian transformation, Havik looking like undead zombified Jago, Ashra incorpating more of the demon design but still keeping her juxtaposing white angelic garb. Love it.
Gameplay too Havik's zombie-like moves, Ashra combo with Cyrax kameo, Reptile slide, best MK1 trailer so far imo.
I'm glad Ed took the oportunity to bring Human Reptile back with the reboot, it was always his best design.
Its also smartly done story wise. He IS a big freaky lizard, hes also just a freak among freaky lizards because he can turn into a human twink
@@darkpuppetlordfulhonestly if it was more like a freaky transformation ala druid style then i wouldve get it but if its the equivalent of a blurry flash style of transformation, the lizard folks just sound petty and dumb
@@khalduras784 I dunno man, I think the act of being able to turn into (what the lizards would consider) a freaky weirdo form would scare people regardless of the level of sailor moon the transformation rests at
@@darkpuppetlordful sure. Still a concept that i think they couldve put more effort on to truly make it seem more freaky otherwise it just looks and sound stupidly funny to me.
@@khalduras784dude. It’s gotta flow in combat in like 3 frames 🤦🏻♂️ this isn’t D&D, this is a fighting game lol there’s no time to animate “a transformation” between combo strings
Soo happy reptile is here they did wonderful can't wait
what i love most about reptile's natural form is that its literally ripped straight from the MK 2021 movie. its just perfect.
Yeah that was wild. Was just watching the movie last night with my kids then saw this trailer and was like HOLY CRAP they used it!
Reptile doing a croc-style death roll as a low takedown is just *chefs kiss*.
They’ve been working on that humanoid to animal form. They did it with Kotal to the panther and it’s even more fluent with reptile. It’s setting the tone for when they bring Beast Boy to IJ3. He’s been one of the most requested characters. They couldn’t pull it off before but now it’s on
This is the best Reptile ever, Ashrah, Havik and Sareena coming back was just awesome,i love the 3D Era kharacters.
Im glad that they found a good middle ground for reptile, giving him both human and lizard forms in game. Earlier today i found an argument online on which form he should take.
Bro the decision to not make Reptile a jobber and actually have him on the good guys’ side is genius, also his new design is *chefs kiss.*
The first Mortal Kombat was THE game that got kid me into video games.
Starting off as the franchise's first secret character, Reptile held a special place in my heart. But because of that, I could never really enjoy his more lizardy depictions, as I just thought the ninja look was better...
But not anymore! THIS is the greatest version yet! Probably the best possible look for the ninja design (simplistic, not overly ornate & silly), coupled with a cool lizard shifting effect!
And he's young! And he's a good guy!?!? As Max said many times in the video - *HELL YEAH! HELL YES!"* 😂
They nailed Reptile. These versions of the 3d era characters are actually sick. I didn't like any of those characters back in the day, but I'm loving what i see so far.
@6:35 - "Damn these Sektor assists look pretty good..."
Cyrax: "This mutha..."
😆
I love how even though havik is a chaos hungry maniac he still gave ashrah a nice message. what a nice guy i wanna be his friend so badly 😂😂😂
this is the coolest Reptile has looked since MK Trilogy. damn near 30 years of mid designs and he FINALLY gets justice.. i dont understand HOW they got Ermac so wrong
Ermac was always a withering corpse that's just how he looks without bandages
@@reizuthekaiin the ps2 era you could see his arms, he definetly wasn't a corpse.
@@reizuthekai that mummy shit is for the birds, get it outta here, ninja him up lol
Reptile looks amazing. Him being a shapeshifter was not something I anticipated and I’m curious what to know what his backstory is. Havik is definitely the best out of the 3d characters and I feel like he’s underrated. I’m not a big Ashrah fan personally but I’m sure there are some people who are happy that she’s in.
@@mazeluchi9508Even though she’s only a kameo character I do like the idea that she has a demon form.
@@itsyaboijordan415 yes i like it too ; at least shes in the game; hope shes in the story mode 👌
@@itsyaboijordan415I have a feeling Sareena will be in a future DLC pack. her design is not classic and seems to be redesigned in aesthetic and gameplay
Nothing feels better than seeing your main come back from vacation. They nailed Reptile man. Kind of hard to be upset losing out on him for one game with such a stellar redesign. All these characters are looking so good.
They NAILED it with these characters. Reptile looks incredible!
There! Thanks for watching🤍I’m giving out GAMING CONSOLES/PC randomly!! I’ve picked you fam🥳hit👍🏻
Reptile's design is so freaking amazing and clever! I love that his waistband tail fabric disguises his actual lizard tail!
honestly havik and reptile are the most awesome looking versions of themselves ive seen yet, i love it
4:18 literally ate the cake too, lower part lol
1:53 jhonny cage has a sword
Love how they are giving 3d era characters a chance again, there's so much potential gameplay and story wise
I've been asking for Ashrah for fifteen years now. So happy to see her back! Needs her hat, though.
Yeah, her hat is an important part of her outfit. She has it in the trailer, tho.
I'm so happy my boy Reptile is back, he's always been a favorite of mine since I started the series back in 3 Ultimate
11/10 Reptile redesign. That is the best call on NRS part to making him have his human form we all wanted.
Havik beating the shit outta u by ripping off his arm is the most
hard-core shit iv seen. I love it
4:30 " my new favorite trailer"
Johnny trailer : " sup "
Characters I would’ve thought would never have an actual interesting personality like reptile and Baraka have become some of the most interesting characters now. I’m so excited to see reptile again, MK1 is gonna be great man
ALSO FUCKING HAVIK RETURNING AFTER SO MANY YEARS IS SO AMAZING
I LOVE IT HERE
Giving Reptile the alligator death roll as a low was a nice freaking touch.
4:25 “ate a big cake, but in not that way.” (Meanwhile somewhere in darkest basements, vore artists scribbling down their next piece.)

This trailer was amazing! I also really happy to see Sareena back, I'm hoping she will be playable (maybe dlc if not in the base roster) but at least she's here
She’s only a kameo. The only characters that are both fully playable and kameos are scorpion, subzero and Kung Lao
@@jeremyroberts8822 Damn, well, let's hope she's in a future DLC then, or in the next game lol
I'm happy that they made Reptile so amazing, but I can't help but love Havik's return and what they did. Yeah, she spun up torso around and snapped his own head, but just the idea that he can just casually weaponize his body in such crazy ways makes me just love the creativity of his moves.
I LOVE that they're showing some love to the 3d era characters! I really hope Ashrah has a costume with her hat though. It made her stand out
I hope Ashrah gets her hat at some point. This trailer was amazing.
I bet thats the "getting ready for war" the monks help her do in the story
As someone who watched their older brother play UMK3 on their computer as a little kid, I am SO happy human Reptile is back! I absolutely love the transformation effects and the little detail of his lizard tail being transformed into a piece of fabric in his human form!
I love that Reptile is half cool ninja bro, half crazy dinosaur.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR ASHRAH SO LONG!! She was such an cool character! Andddd we get Sereena as a support/cameo? HLLLL YEAH!
You know you were looking for this as soon as you finished watching the trailer.
When I saw this trailer my first thoughts were, 'Human ninja Reptile, sure think Max is gonna be happy about that.'
Bro I didn't even notice that Havik's windmill move is him splitting his torso from his legs and spinning his entire top-half while the legs walk forward normally as he regenerates.
OH MAN I MISSED HIM.
Best Trailer to date. It's been so long for Havik or Ashrah and they both look great. Reptile's design is a chef's kiss.
It’s nice to see the demon girls back and more fleshed out. They look unique, menacing and beautiful. NRS is nailing it.
Reptile looks AMAZING. So stoked that he’s back.
So many ninjas in this game.
I love how one of the first videos that pops up when you search for mk1 reptile is Max's reaction.

The half human half reptile really is so cool
I like how he sometimes doesn't fully transform either
Always low key liked Reptile. Now? Dude looks amazing and can't wait to play him!
Love how Havik looks and how he plays. Pretty excited for Reptile the idea of making him both Human and a reptilian monster was brilliant. Ashrah looks amazing too I might play her when MK1 comes out
I like how only the top half of reptile changes when he spits his acid. Such a neat effect.
"He ate a really slippery cake" LMAO Ive grown to love these NSFW cutaways from Max.
If you didnt noticed, Reptile back in Mk 4 was turning more into a lizard because he wasnt around his race after shao kahn killed them leaving him to evolve more into his natural form having him forever stuck in his lizard form in Mk deadly alliance all the way up to Mkx
I love how you have a lore reason for his old designs, and you know what? Sounds good to me lmao
I've never seen mk4 reptile and dear Gods that design is HIDEOUS imo... I had to double take it just to make sure I googled the correct thing
@@MrMrTravman this was explained in deadly alliance and even have concept arts of reptile evolving from mk2 reptile being human then around mk4 he starts to look like a lizard
@@Syweezy2012 Ah okay, cool cool. Well Liu Kangs timeline reset finally gave reptile a badass ninja design again.
If Lui Kang managed to do anything right, was to give us a glorious reptile. Cannot wait to play him haha.
I really really hope they kept havik speaking in the quiet, almost whispering way that he did before, i personally found it very cool
human reptile being back single handedly made me want this game

Wow this trailer was ridiculous they just keep getting better and better Havik, Ashrah, Sareena, and Reptile and there designs in this game are fucking bomb
They nailed the Reptile design. I’m so happy, he’s easily my favorite ninja. It’s good to have him back.
I wish Ashrah kept her headdress and Havik his helmet, but goddamn, they look really fun, too! This is easily the best modern MK roster already, IMO.
I love the captions. Whenever I see one of these reaction videos I look forward to them.😂
I like that Reptile kept his stance from the 2D era, and the 3D Lizard form. Best comeback ever!
Ninja reptile was my favourite in MK2. I never liked the lizard designs of Reptile since Deception. Now they found a way to have separate forms to please both sides. I dig it.
they finally did my boy Reptile the right way! This is exactly what I personally wanted to see from Reptile and the fuckers did it!!!
Havik: "So, I got killed in my reveal trailer."
Kotal: "First time?"
I can’t tell you how excited I am for another edition of “Rate the Finisher”
Reptile shapeshifting back and forth is cool asf
This is shaping up to be the best roster MK has had in years. I’m a fan of everyone’s redesign except for Ermac’s.
Johnny and Kung Lao wear black dragon armor just like Kenshi. You can even see the logo here 1:18
There! Thanks for watching🤍I’m giving out GAMING CONSOLES/PC randomly!! I’ve picked you fam🥳hit👍🏻
It makes me happy to see that Reptile is going to not only be story relevant, but also on the GOOD GUYS' team this time around.
This is the trailer that got me hooked. The game looks amazing. It looked good before, but this trailer delivered for everything I was worried about.
I prayed for Havik and Ashrah for YEARS, dude. They look so freaking insane. Reptile having two forms is absolute genius, this is the best reveal TO DATE. Lord Boon is killing it this time.
Seeing that Reptile can phase between lizard and human form during the fight makes me have hope that they'll have beast boy for I3 phasing between different animals during the fight bc I didn't think it was logical for beast boy to change into different animals during the fight
@D34DSL4Y3R thats actually a really cool insight! I love that idea man. Also, Havik is 100% gonna be my main with all these insane animations
NRS fucking nailed it
@@D34DSL4Y3Rlots of "ifs" there, man. What makes you think we'll even see Injustice 3 anytime this decade? Don't get it twisted, I'd love to see it, but...
