Why people still ignore Mk trilogy (n64)?
Wys Ketchup? Good vid bro! I'd really like to see Scorpion next! :)
Bro imagine pulling off a 39 hit combo and only getting 32% damage 😭😭
MKX cyrax, folks. Netherrrealm went really overboard in nerfing him.
He’s so cheap, he has hard to blockables set up
As a mk 11 rain player i know that
Don't have to imagine, MKA Darrius player
You should timestamp it
Wait so you're telling me that Sektor actually gets WORSE as a cyborg and Cyrax gets significantly better and changes a lot more than Sektor does when he becomes a cyborg, when in the story Sektor WANTS to be the cyborg and Cyrax DOESN'T? That's... actually incredible irony and I'm like 90% sure it's not on purpose.
That's hilarious
Goes to show cyberizing the lin kuei was probably a bad idea for sektor lol
That's really funny lmao
F for the fans especially if ya favorite color is 🟥
This comment reads like an allegory of life itself.
Mustard's time to shine! We've been waiting for this for such a long time....
Don’t they just sound the exact same?
@@Ignited_Trap I've been watching them for many years. No, they don't sound the same (at least, not anymore). After a while, you start recognizing the differences in their inflection and pitch.
Somehow, MK4 seems more and more like a fever dream every time I see it.
MK4 Has the feel to it lol It looks like it's trying to be both the ps2 games and the old arcade games so it looks weird lol
@@agenttex5973 its ps1 game
still had the coolest looking sub zero/scorpion lol. Also gold had the reptile ninja outfit too. one of the best gamws ever
It haa a goat tier soundtrack. As a kid it terrified me
@@alano2475 MK4's soundtrack could work in a survival horror game. Honestly shocked that they never made a horror MK spinoff, honestly. Being a poor defenseless human that has to fend off Tarkatans could make for some good fun.
“Cyrax’s weapon in MK Gold, was the Pulse Blade”
Aka, a literal sith lightsaber
>Sith lightsaber
>It's not even red
Yeah, ok, whatever, champ.
@@overweightactor it is red
It's red in mk gold, purple in mk deadly alliance, and green in Armageddon
@@yoshiboy314 Green fits more with Cyrax anyway. Or yellow.
@@reallyspingebillboxpants I thought sektors blade was red and cyrax was green
7:35 "His damage off a kickstarter"
Oh, no. Is Cyrax crowdfunding his combos?
"Consider donating to the Fatality tier, where if we hit our goal, I'll grind this guy up inside my chest. Physical rewards will ship soon, I promise".
He's so bad in UMK3, he needs his viewers to donate damage to make up for his easily avoidable bombs and nerfed moveset 💀
This really shows the cycle Cyrax goes through, the tweaks they make to him make either one of the objectively best characters in the game or the absolute worst. I still love him but man he’s the one that you just can’t win inbetween
I haven’t played mk in my life but these videos are amazing
Missin out big time
F
U should if u ever get the chance my guy, especially the PS2 era games
Don’t bother playing any of them after MK9 they’re garbage
@@thewalrider1159 mkx was ok and I just got mk11 yesterday so like is it trash?
That moment you realise that it's Mustard narrating when hearing him referring Ketchup in the third person.
Thought for a good second that Ketchup was having an existential crisis.
This is one of my favorite series on CZcams. I get excited whenever I see a new "Competitive History" video.
Scorpion video gonna be an hour long and I’m all for it.
And the Sub-Zero one
@@AUserThatIsDeleted sub hasent missed a single game since day 1
@@rdxgamer1772 actually he has, he wasn’t in MK special forces even though it was a bad spin off game.
@@gabrieltejada1697 main line fighting game
@charleshastings7260 bruh I wasn’t talking about Sub-Zero mythologies which doesn’t detract the fact on what I said about Sub-Zero missing out on an MK game since that’s what the topic was about not if he had his own spin off game or not.
I swear people these days don’t know how to read 🙄
Congrats! Think I speak to everyone when I say we are super proud of both you of both of you and the content you put out! You have a wonderful audience here who loves what you do, and we'd love to see more. Much love
No wayyy that ya know who i am!!!! Like the fact that ya put my name up for credit is such an honor!!! Especially coming from the most iconic duo Ketchup & Mustard
Thanks ketchup and mustard, you two are the best
Maybe you guys could do all third party characters in one video? Joker, Spawn, Freddy etc. Might be too much, but I'd be super interested in seeing it, even if it needs to be spread out over a couple videos
Your wish came true
As a Cyrax main, I've been waiting for this video FOREVER
Great work as always guys!
Plot twist: Ketchup does the episode. Mustard does the opening.
Congrats on the button, my dude!! Just found your channel recently, I've been hooked! I'm not even an especially big MK fan, but your videos are THAT good.
It’s always great to see these been playing MK since MK4 but never competitively so insightful episodes like these are a godsend
Amazing video as always, this is probably my favourite CZcams series of all time. Extremely professionally done, goes into the complexities and has great gameplay backing it up. Keep up the great work, guys. Cant wait until you guys get to Jax.
you are looking very healthy, and I can tell that the new fitness program you are doing is working very well. Keep it up!
Lost 30 lbs and still going. Feeling better than ever :D
@@PNDKM I imagine you've just been listening to the Mortal Kombat movie theme and rapidly high punching as a work out. I refuse to believe anything otherwise
@@PNDKM keep it up brother! Fit fighting gamers!
@@mitchmediak Ahh,the glitch jab workout.
Congrats on the plaque! But I still think your content deserves so much more appreciation, you guys put a ton of effort in each video and it shows, hope for continued growth!
Always makes my day when I get a notification from you guys.
Best MK channel hands down.
Please make more of this! It's just so enjoyable seeing u go back to previous mk games, then showing off combos.
I’m so happy for you guys, I’ve been following you for a few years and have always been entertained and educated by your videos and you really have shaped me into a decent MK player which I thank you for. Let’s shoot for 200K and beyond!
The cyborgs bring so much to MK, they really need to turn 11 up tor the max and get some borgs in there
Congrats mate! You guys deserve it.
This video was super detailed and so informative like you guys always do. Huge kudos for 100K subs and once again for the incredible work.
My boy chorizo getting noticed!!!!!
Cyrax is one of the few characters in UMK3 that can punish jump kicks on block (with air grab). He also has an air grab infinite in the corner that looks funny. His strings are kind of bad (the kick string and bLP ender string have bad gaps).
You didn't mention this explicitly (however its really easy to see in your clips), but MK3 Cyrax has no damage scaling present after throw. They added the damage protection for it in UMK3.
That grab infinite was crazy hard to set up so I never could replicate it in video form :I
Another gold standard MK video, love the Competitive History series! Mustard did a great job as well!
A character I'd like to see the competitive history for is the sneaky double dealing sorcerer himself, Shang Tsung!
God, i finally found my very favourite youtuber.
U guys are both legends. I remember seeing u commentating back during mk9 and thinking Huh that dudes interesting ima follow him and almost 10 years later here i am still listening
These videos never gets old. They’re entertaining, informative, and interesting. Thanks guys!
I have always been a sucker for these type of informative videos diving deep into the Meta of characters and their games, this series is very well made and has deff caught my attention, I just subscribed and will be anxious for more content in the future! Good stuff guys!
another certified hood classic
You two keep grinding and keep growing! Much love for you guys and all the content you make! ✌🏻
I appreciate you guys a lot. Your passion for this game really shines through in everything you do, and while I'm not much of a Mortal Kombat player myself, I always really enjoy watching the content you put out or the tournaments you cast. Thank you. You deserve all the hype you get!
I can't think of Cyrax without thinking of the 2013 EVO Grand Finals between REO and DJT. An absolute masterpiece of unbalanced jank colliding with unbalanced jank.
mk has been treating the robots without the respect they deserve as of late 😭 its a shame
Big congrats on the play button! You guys deserve it and more!
Imagine you're hiding in a secure safe house, protected by bodyguards and mercs, then cyrax come in and drops a 32-hit combo with a laser net, and blows the building with bombs.
Congratulations for such milestone guys, you truly deserve it
Past couple weeks I’ve gotten super addicted to this series. :D
Always love the content, probably always will. Being a huge mk nerd myself. The passion is why I'm subbed on here and on twitch for a long as I have been. Here's to many more videos!
Appreciate is must take so long to edit these together, well done guys this was a nice trip down memory lane
Finally 🙌🏼 was waiting for this episode forever ❤️ Congrats on the silver plate, You deserved this 👏🏼👏🏼
I love Cyrax, his fighting style mixes a bit of capoeira, and as a Brazilian and a capoeira fighter myself, i find it really awesome
i know i’m mad late to saying it, but still, congratulations on the play button!!!
Love this series! Been waiting for this one since Cyrax is one of my faves since MK3. You guys gotta do a history of Kabal sometime! That should be a fun one for sure haha.
Love this series and would love to see you guys do a raiden competitive history. I’m sure there would be much to consult on
Damn, you two are by far the best channel on youtube for mk documentary and content. Congrats for 100k
Btw can you guys make a kabal competitive history. He has been pretty much top tier in every mk game i play and i don't know why.
I was waiting for this, I have never played cyrax, but this makes me want to try him if I get MK9.
This was AMAZING! I LOVE seeing a pro work and explain. Lol. This further proves that MK9 is EASILY the best "modern" MK game and maybe even one of the best MK games in general. (For me it's between MKT and MK9. Lol) Thank you for posting. I'm so glad I found and subbed to this channel.
I watch every video you guys do even tho mk11 is my first mk. Congrats on the 100k! Love your commentary in tournaments
First of all, congratulations you guys put on a lot of work on this channel helping the community and entertainment content, well deserved 👏
Awesome video as always!
Putting in my vote for Kabal for the next episode. I'd imagine there would be a lot to talk about
Mega hype for the play button milestone. Who knew the metal twins we all used to be fans of in MK9 made it this big! 1 million sub milestone next! Cheers, guys.
10:44 Yes sir! Trash compactor fatality is probably one of the simplest, yet most brutal Fatalities ever!
I loved human cyrax (and sektor) as a concept. It showed what they were like pre cyberization. I could see why Sektor was in such a hurry , he was clearly lagging behind everyone else. It be cool for both of them to return as DLC but have Cyrax be Human and Sektor be a cyborg (with reverse skins too!).
Oh snap been looking forward to this one!
Thank you guys, wonderful stuff as usual!
Congratulations for the award!!!! you deserve ten more of those, we are lucky to have you guys
Congrats on the silver play button! U guys produce some of the best mk content on this website
Even though I've never been anywhere near a competitive level player. It was only when you mentioned it here, that it dawned on me how Cyrax weak actually was in MK: DA. All this time I thought I just wasn't good enough with him.
Nah, he straight up sucked really hard, I think MKDA Cyrax is the worst MK character of all time, but cool design though.
God, I love these fucking competitive MK history videos.
I’m lowkey waiting for when a Smoke video comes out to complete the cyborg videos but whatever character video comes out is fucking spectacular!
Ya love to see it super hype to see this cause idk much about cyrax in all the games
I sorta wanna see a Smoke competitive history. You go into such detail with the games, it's really awesome. ^_^
been waiting for this bad boy for awhile. does not disappoint
Gratz on the silver play button, thoroughly enjoy your content
Cyrax in vanilla mk3 arcade was my jam. For casual play he was a killer
Nice video! Let's hope our yellow bot will be back in MK12!
I have gotten addicted to these. Great videos!
I love the Yellow Robot ninja Cyrax he always visually looked good always cool tragic backstory nice place in the lore even tho recently hasn’t been used as much always is a beast competitively if used wisely combos is god tier with the signature bombs and Green Net of death it’s just broken but has also varied over the years
Your channel made me enjoy mk games again. I just forgot how fun they were
Love your stuff, guys. Congrats on the silver play button!
I don't really understand what you're talking about since I've barely played any MK game that was not Shaolin Monks, but hearing you talk about this with such interest and seeing these flashy combos is pretty entertaining
another classic from the super condiment brothers
Yes! One of my all time favorite MK characters!
In my time playing MK9 competitively, I have never known Cyrax's net restands when used twice in combo. How insane!
Well deserved on the play button! Hard work pays off!
Is it weird that I'm watching this video for the third time ? Like all your competitive mk videos or just mk in general are so damn good !
Love these vids!! You two are awesome!
Awsome video, by far the best MK youtuber.
Honestly I am seprised you haven't covered Scorpion and Subzero. (I can't imagine how much research they would need since they are in every game.)
You should do smoke next and finish out the cyborgs.
It's 2AM in my area
This will not stop me Watching your content.
Already see on Twitter but congrats on your plate
Cyrax is a powerful character relatively easy to play. With reset combos (mk9) you can beat up opponents in a few seconds.
I really enjoyed this video.
Alright boys, it is MUSTARD TIME!
I love the freedom cyrax gives you
Kongratulations on the 100k subs plaque
Everytime these get uploaded it makes me excited for the hour long scorpion or sub zero episode that’s coming.
Only just started watching thanks to this series, and gonna start watching your other stuff! Glad you're doing well! How about Bo Rai Cho next?
He was half top tier and half mid tier I think? Although he's more balanced in MKDA and more broken in MKD.
Watch all these, do love them. But realistically what we basically have ALWAYS meant is "is this charecter completely broken or not, cos MK has almost never been a good competitive game really". But still love it!
8:59 "His weapon was the pulse blade"
Cyrax: *Pulls out a lightsaber*
It was about time!!
32:46 Love that ScarsUnseen shoutout
Gonna need some Kano
Done dirty because of that movie but still a fav
Mustard has been waiting for this very moment!
Finally, a video on the leaky boat (I still want to see a joker competitive history btw)
Love it, would also love to see Kitana or Liu Kang next
God, Liu Kang's video would be super long.
