X is my favorite of the two. Neither are perfect, but X just has more that I enjoy that keeps me coming back to this day, even on PS5.
MKX had much more creativity and overall a much better experience to me
This. Run button wher
Yeah man. Mk11 was terrible compared to it. Bring run and neutral punch jump back or no mk1 for me.
MK 11 is more creative. You can fully customize each character from move sets to attire.
@@VideoGameXDomain yeah but that doesn't make it better, no one needs that much shit in a fighting game also that's not what we mean when we say creativity
@@VideoGameXDomain we’re talking about creativity in gameplay 😆
Yesterday I uninstalled MK 11 and installed MX X , now it's more space on HDD and better gameplay, I like MK X's fighting moves , dark atmosphere, more cruel fatalities and of course characters: Reptile , Ermak and Kenshi are back
Same here i deleted it it eats my space for nothung😢
@@mpumivaldo9168 100 gb isn't so much space these days..i just love the concept of MK X more
@@Retro_Force mk11 characters are boring i love predator MkX and its fast combos
@@mpumivaldo9168 that's true👍 I think MK X's roster is better
@@Retro_Force its nice i play everyday
Run was the best thing to happen to mortal kombat honestly
Exanctly, so many people can't begin to grasp the importance it had/has. I play a few single fights in 11 and almost immediately get tired of plying it for that very reason run is 1000% innovated game changing right there.
MKX in almost everyday is better from voicing, gameplay, and overall creativeness
I really enjoyed hearing the insights and viewpoints from a player who’s significantly higher level than myself. I’d quite like a vid on your views of other recent titles and why they didn’t have the staying power for you personally. I picked up GBFV because I saw how much fun you had with it (and loved the game) and it was a treat watching your GGST vids. I know what I, on a personal level, enjoy about certain titles and agree on a lot of points made in this video about MKX Vs MK11 so would be really interested to learn what a vastly more skilled player thinks on others. And for the ol’ algorithm, LK’s videos on “why players strongly dislike [x character]” do pretty well for views and debates lol
Keep up the great work, Dink :)
Personally injustice 2, mkx, and fighterz are my top 3 all time fighting games.. mk11 gameplay imo has more positives for the competitive scene then mkx system.. BUT mkx literally had the best combos ever until they dropped injustice 2 and made the system better.. both are great games but mkx is my winner.. plus Quan chi
I played both and can with confidence say MK X's gameplay feels way better compared to MK 11's
MKX for me. The 50/50 rushdown could be a pain, if guessed wrong and end up dead but overall it was a better game imo and still fun to watch at high level.
I tried to like MK11 but I found it boring to play and watch. I kept dropping it and coming back a few times, only to drop it permanently now.
It rewards bad players, the breakaway function needs to go, kill the DRM online bullshit for unlocks. The poke, throw, neutral is boring and would rather have rushdown play 50/50 with a run button again.
Great video! I really like your balanced approach. Each game is different and fun for different reasons. The reasons I prefer one or the other vary and are mostly over roster decisions. Mk11 could be perfect for me if they had included Reptile, Ermac, Smoke,and the Cyborgs. But I have to go back to X in order to get my fix of Sektor and Ermac. But I love Skarlet, Nightwolf, and Sindel in 11. So I think both are great games but neither is perfect.
And in 11, aside from breakaway, I really hate throw kb's, especially when a character gets one on each direction. Most of my escape failed's come from me getting thrown out of a button press when I wasn't even trying to tech.
As a spectator I much prefer MKX. The mixups, combo variety, and speed of play is fun to watch. MK11 is comparatively boring to watch for me. It seems more "fair" to play, and I think that falls into the footsies/spacing you explained. But, MK11 just seems like a poke war in comparison, and it's just not fun for me to watch
Lol a "poke war"😂, yea pretty much. Like MK Tom Brady said about MK1, "Po po po po poke..."😂😂
Gameplay and voice acting - MKX
Faces and accurate representation - MK11
I gotta say the mkx character intros can be cringy af lol looking at you kitana
@@shujinkydink but the voice is awesome! Knowing their writers it is expectable though
I enjoy playing MK11 more but I enjoy watching MKXL more.
Agree, MK X is way better.
MKX player here, started not too long ago. the biggest gripe with X for me is not even the 50/50 meta, it's that to run you have essentially to push 3 BUTTONS. I can't for the life of me do run cancels. yeah, "skill issue", I genuinely respect the hell outta people who pull them off, and multiple times in a row! I just think a better layout is possible. like in the old days - a dedicated run button instead of a universal stance change one (I still don't really see the point in that one, aside from some very special cases, but maybe that's just me being a noob).
I didn't not even buy MK11, as an MK fan with of over 20 years, there were so many things in it even from a distance that I will never get over. this weird metallic/plastic armor esthetic for the costumes, gone is the eastern vibe that was even in MKX, despite all the Special Forces domination. the various ways the game breaks the lore and changes characters for the worse (like making Shao Kahn, one of the most iconic and smart villain in fighting game history, quote Donald Trump), the randomized Krypt, all the monetization... I could go on. so no matter how much I suck at X, bottom line is, I'll *never* play 11.
I only play story, then do towers and try to complete the krypt and both games are great for that. It took a minute to get used to the game when I started playing but now I find it to be relaxing. It mainly comes down to characters for me and MKX is the winner. I especially love the horror movie characters, haven’t played predator as much but the other 3 are so good.
It’s not even close MKX by a mile. The fast pace, mix ups and swaggy combos made it far more exciting. Every character was viable there are no bad characters in MKX. They did the variation system much better MK11 has 2 slot moves that’s just stupid and some moves are actually banned. The roster in MK11 is also highly questionable leaving out Ermac and Reptile is down right criminal We didn’t even get Mileena until like a year into the game. I don’t think the skins are as cool looking I’d say too many bright colors the MKX characters were darker and had a more sinister vibe. I just have a lot of issues with MK11. One of the worst things is it’s too hard to okie people MK11 gives the advantage to the player that gets knocked down there are too many wake up options.
i can think of a couple weak ass characters in MKX ngl
really it's mk9. i half mean that as a joke. It's unbalanced as hell and lacks rollback, but the pacing is perfect, it has meter management, breakers, good execution challenges, and i believe good fundamentals. If it's just between these two though, i prefer mkx. combos are fun mixing people is fun.
Eh. The jankiness, random frame data, even more unbalanced + lack of net code make it inferior to x.
I feel like the reason mkx is so exciting and frustrating is bc each character has their own “fuck your neutral” aspect to them, so each character breaks the game in a unique way
I always say MKX is NRS’s MvC in terms of fast and frantic play, and MK11 is NRS’s Street Fighter because of the more patient, slower pace it provides.
Personally I think mkx is more exciting to watch and play. I grew up playing umk3, so I like the fast pace, pressure game, huge combos and all that stuff.
When MK11 was to be released I was fed up with mkx 50/50s, but after playing it a couple of months, I was too salty for the massive amounts of pokes and grabs... It ruined the experience for me, and since then I stopped caring about the crazy guessing game lol
Tbh, it is commendable to me that NRS always does something different, but I do feel like it leads to inevitable blowback. People who love MKX were disappointed in MK11, people who love MKX or MK11 will probably be disappointed with MK12. And people who love MK9, well, they're a bit of a more complicated lot. I just don't ever see the next iteration ever appeasing the players that joined the previous generation. That's why I wish they just let these combat mechanics breathe a little more before moving on to the next thing. Imo, I would have liked the MKX's mechanics expanded on and improved before moving onto the next thing, and I would like the same for MK11. I wish they stuck with the same mechanics for at least two games before moving on. You may not like what comes next, but you'd have so much more of what you DO like. I know it still won't appease everyone, but that's just how I feel. If we can get three iterations of the Deadly Alliance style of games, we can get two of whatever MK12 is going to be and actually improve the mechanics instead of ditching them and moving on.
I was waiting for a vid like this thanks. I feel like I had so much fun in mkx learning combos and finally landing them it was such I good feeling. Mk11 wasn't as fun but I learned fundamentals and I was cool to get in my opponents head just using fundamentals. The poke grab meta was annoying in mk11 and the 50/50 was bad in mkx. But mkx was better for me.
I have both but play x more!! I like the look and game play better!!
I've owned mkx when it first released back in 2015 I loved it but stop playing altogether Ive bought XL today for 5 bucks but I think I did a dumb thing and bought the character packs for another 5 bucks never played 11 but want to get the ultimate edition for the PS5 for 36.33$ do u think it's best to go In for both?
Yeah both will prepare you equally for mk1!
@shujinkydink sweet I'm going to dive in and already pre ordered mk1 tried getting collectors edition but sold out that same night pre orders went out
MkXL is a better game. Mk11 best graphic but i prefer X art style, characters are more badass... Roster in XL is better (even if Baraka is a big miss). Even mk9 was a great game, it had the best roster...and probably even better gameplay than X or 11.
Mk9 has damage that shows
Mk11. Meter management is something that needs tweaked I agree. Not a fan of super fast, 50/50 ,armor , or meter less pop ups
mk11 is a good game just not fun to play, in the game you play how the dev wants you to play there no creativity. ill take mkx 50/50 then dealing with breakaways where you get punished for guessing right.
@@degisndinga8853 fun is subjective. I have more fun playing mk11 than x... nobody is right or wrong.
If you get punished because you opponent breaks away is because you guessed wrong btw.
@@emanuelefieni5761 do? Do you know what break always is? Do you play online?
Dude if an opponent is about to hit you, and you make the correct guess, now they are open to being punished you then do that but while you are comboing they then break and now punishing you, why in the fuck are you getting punished for making the right guess? Lije no it's not there turn they fucked up and should be rewarded for it That's fucked.
@@degisndinga8853 This is the point. If you over commit and try to combo an opponent with 2 defensive bars and he breaks away to kick your ass it's all on you. That's what I love about mk11. You have to consider if that long ass combo that you practiced in the lab is appropriate in that situation, since he can break away and kick your ass (don't be overconfident if the opponent has a full def meter)
I think MKX is better but this is almost solely due to them fixing a lot of the key issues I had with the game like 1 bar armored launchers among other things.
MK11 main problems were never fixed for me which is that break away can punish stuff because they never made the simple change of forcing moves to end when they interact with a break away target preventing them from having to finish committal dial in strings and the fact kustom variations really benefit some characters more then others.
Like you have Liu Kang in 11 who has just about everything he needs in his base kit so he gets a wide selection of viable options and then you have characters like Nightwolf who is forced into pretty limited variation options since you either equip one of his 2 slot abilities so he can actually launch people and then one other move or you go full grappler.
I’ve only played X and 11 and I love them both
The DLC choices for characters in both games are great and both rosters are good
6:52 - And the biggest cardinal sin of this (i only speak for myself, though) is that not only it is not fun to lose to 50/50s galore, winning like that also stops being fun after you play the game for a while. Combo routing and player expression means nothing when there's nothing else to do other than putting your opponent in a constant blender. You don't learn anything, you don't get better at anything, your opponent sure as shit doesn't learn anything, it's just a guesswork exchange.
50/50s as a concept is as old as the fighting game genre itself, i have no problem with it, it's just that a good fighting game to me is a sum of many parts. And MKX doesn't have that. I can still have fun with the game, just not online anymore.
I agree 100%. I had better w/l in mkX but I've stopped playing it because winning sometimes feels more like a lucky coin toss than outsmarting or outplaying an opponent.
Mkx for me..mk 11 felt and looked more like a injustice game. I gave it a chance n couldn't get into it or watch tournaments.
They are both better than MK1
perfect explanation on KB's i dont think it couldve been better
For a long while I had felt deep down that I had been the only one to feel that MKX was better and more enjoyable/fun in my experience playing both... Im not saying rhat MK11 is trash and terrible in its entirety because there's a good chunk of MK11 I genuinely did like & enjoy from ut. But my main criticism with MK11 personally is that combat itself feels slow and can even feel clunky at times. I feel combat wise that MKX haven't the slightest clue. Besides that though, all the other content they concocted up for 11 is amazing. I still do enjoy playing both, however i have always came back to X way way more times than I would 11.
I like that the correct answer is Injustice 2. FINALLY SOMEONE IS PREACHING THE TRUTH!
Mkx is better for me
Which game is closer to the older MKs in the PS1- PS2 era?
None really since these are 2.5D as opposed to the 3d era
Yo yo dink
I really don’t know X has my favriote Colab characters and just good characters and 11 is just more realistic and has less character I think not sure but I want to say there both really good but if somebody says Wich one is better I will just say there both very good and I LOVE the X-rays and fatality’s 11 has more gruesome ones and so does X and X has more and better X-rays so that’s my opinion so I thing there both very good
nice video dink, personally i like mkx better but im also not that knowledgable about fighting games so take that as you will
X run button and combo breaker makes it better than 11 but I like them both
Yeah I think overall I like mk11 more for similar reasons, in mk11 it does feel like you can breath alot more then mkx. I like them both alot and have gripes with both of them as well.
I feel MkX is just to me my view is the last dark themes Mortal Kombat from there Mk.11 is more vibrant a injustice look same for mk1 is going to look like injustice 2 or if they make a injustice 3 that's how Mk1 looks ones injustice 3 come out what ever.name.of game going to be it will look like Mk1
If Jason Voorhees were in 11, X would lose.
Love the quick time events (QTE) in X, and since I play 11 the most (playing X before we got a Xbox series S to replace the Xbox one,) for 35 hours on our Nintendo, the game that made me love fighting games, except for the fact that I keep on losing to my 6 year younger brother (he's 10) and I cannot reason with him.
Awesome
Mkx has better gameplay and combo damage and mk 11 is the clean version of a fighting gane where charakters cant do damage with 5 exceptions.
I love mk11s roster fujin and rain are my favorite mk charakters and they are in the game plus shao kahn. But the gameplay is trash the moves are cool but thr low damage takes away the fun mkx had so many 50 % one bar combos you dont see that stuff in 11 😅😂
Which one should i get in 2023 for PS5? Graphic quality is important and yet the gameplay is another thing 😔
Mk11 for sure
The gameplay and speed in MKXL actually feels current-gen compared to MK11 and MK1 plus the graphics will look better regardless on current-gen consoles.
I picked MKX.
DNF Duel has been my favorite fighting game of recent memory just wish they would add more characters
Only spawn has easy damage like that
Mk11 was too slow for me
There are two aspects that sets MK11 ahead of MKX (and MK9) as a better game; its the balance between the roster and the movement (neutral) environment. MKX is better from the technical stand point. Some characters were left damaged (like Jax, JC - A-List) with the final patch but almost everything works properly. If you look closely at MK11 you will find, that not only the break away is incomplete but other mechanics as well - etc: Wake up (the invincibility frames) - "wake up buttons", Flowless blocks are not working properly, some moves's frame data regardless of landing FB remains unchanged. Variations customization is a joke - in some cases makes no sense, while some characters are almost OP and play different game. The KB requirements - its as if it was designed by different groups of people - some designs makes no sense at all. The hit boxes on poke's are far from complete. Some moves are so dumb (Kano f12 last buff) that makes you question are these guys really serious at NRS. They were nerffing Fatal Blows so that on block a punish may be possible, yet some FB are still super safe. D2's are almost unpunishable on block? the push back is a joke - a move that deals 35-60% combos is free. The list goes on. These problems are serious. Lowering the learning curve that is one thing, but leaving the product in its current state, that is mind blowing. The game is fun, but in its current state cannot really be taken seriously due to these issues.
I totally agree 👍🏾
Long live MKX!!!
Mortal kombat X, and let me tell you why. The reason why MKX is better than MK11 even MK1 2023 because it was just......"right" the design in MKX was just baddass looking, the combos.....the combos was just crazy and you get to create your own combos. MKX was not "woke" as MK11... and even MK1. That is where Neverrealm messed up at, is trying to be woke for "sensitive people." That's why i said the good MK games are honestly MKX and older mk games. Like MK9. Thats just my opinion. 🤷🏻♀️🙂
Setting aside personal preferences the biggest con of mk11 is that it does not feel like a mortal kombat game
MK11 was a good game, if the tempo was faster and there were more creative combos it would of been the best MK game of all time..missed opportunity by NRS
Fast and swaggy are two things that made mk10 unique. Mk11 is a different type of game by purpose. They didn't miss an opportunity to make mkx/2.
@@emanuelefieni5761 I would have loved MKX 2 same game just roster changes, new strings, and stages. They made MK11 so different than MKX they were bound to piss a lot of people off I mean they didn’t make subtle changes they completely remodeled the entire game.
@@jf2849 people who got tired of the overly aggressive 50/50 fest that was mkX loved mk11 because it was very different. If you like mkx play mkx. I'll play mk11 and both of us will be happy.
@@emanuelefieni5761simple. I love your opinion. It is not N opinion but also a helpful advice to those Mk X lovers who won’t stop trashing mk 11 for its unique features. Anyone can play any of the mk game franchise if one likes.
@@yungbozz8820 That's what I love about the mk franchise. Every game is an unique gem. Love it ora hate it, mk9, X, 11 and now 1 are all great games with their sets of pros and cons. Loved them all for what they are and I'm so freaking tired of the " waaaaaaaaah mk11 iz bad 'cuz muh combo expression and no run button" crowd. Jesus! Play MKX and STFU! 🤣
Mk11 is my choice.
Look I hated mx11 but tbh the story was good it kept up with all the mks but when it came down to the pudding it was tasteless
Predators invisibility could have been better
The fact that u can keep it your turn all the time in mkx is what makes it lame
Watching this after playing MK1, I feel like it is a perfect mix of 11 and X in terms of gameplay, wich make it the perfect MK imo.
For me MKX had a back and forth interactive gameplay so I disliked the KB concept in MK11. All i can say is thank you for the awesome content throughout the years 🦴 🦅
MKXL is a much better game in my opinion, the UI, X-rays and characters are cooler.
I hate that half the roster is zombies on MK11
Mkx had better characters imo, especially the dlc
Yeah the roster in MK11 is one of my least favorite parts they left out like half of my characters I was playing a lot of Ferra/Torr, cyber subzero, Tonya, Ermac, Reptile, Takeda, Alien, Predator, Shinnok, Kenshi and Kung Jin MK11 just left out too many of my people.
MKXL better
MK11 is better than MKx in my opinion. Mk11 is much more enjoyable to play and especially to watch.
Is this a real question? Mk11 received poor support, it wasnt balanced and was abandoned. Its NRS' biggest failure, I am wary of them now. At least mkx is dumb fun, every character has something fun and op about them, it's not fair at all, but fun
You said it perfectly MKX is much harder and yeah even not fair yet somehow still more fun. For the first couple of years of MK11 I really hated the lack of strings and mix ups I didn’t even care about playing much but I’ve started to appreciate the neutral I’m playing more footsies and perhaps I’ve improved as a player so I will concede to that. However I still believe MKX is alot more fun and the better game overall.
MK11 was the most supported NRS game of all time, most patches, most DLC, longest running support. Even now still cycles kombat league seasons and towers of time. Mkx was abandoned way sooner, I do see the argument of it being more fun however
@@shujinkydink
Mk11 announced and released dlc before they starting patching the game, then these patches were insignificant amd didnt touch the crazy dominant meta, didn't fix basic bugged hit reactions, highs whiffing on block, low mid projectiles could get low profiled, that longest running support thing is bull shit, NRS made a promise that it would be the most supported and had to stick to their word literally as they didnt patch anything for the last 8 months of this games life, and only announced ended support at the two year mark to say it was supported this long, it was not, the towers and league have always just looped in a static cycle just as injustice 2 multiverse does, these events are tied to the current date, not support and planned by NRS, you can change the date on your console to change the towers and multiverse, not support, just leftover cycles garbage. The game was not balanced in the end and left a mess, it was abandoned and is NRS' great as failure to date, I dont trust them after mk11.
@@boof994 patches generally dont change meta, they seemed to want the game to operate that way and committed to it, which is what it is. But it got way more support, including the first ever Story DLC. If you took away those last 8 months they still supported it longer than any other title. I will say they were late to say they were going to stop supporting it, but it was a first for them to do that anyway so there is that. Communication has never been NRS strong point lol
Mkxl all the way
This is not even close. If MKX and MK9 were both over easy or scrambled eggs (both acceptable and both are good) MK11 is the raw egg with the shell you have to eat as well.
Tf are you talking about
MK XL is better than MK 11
MK x
Mk11 by far way more fun and balanced also rewards skill more no braindead loops and stuff
MK9>MKX>MK11>MK1 Isn't it strange that it all goes backwards and devolve, wokies ruined MK - diversity hired
Mk 11 is better that's why we still play it. Nobody plays mk x 😂people say the dumbest things.
IJ2 is better...truth hurts😏
mk11 isnt as hyped or fun to watch tbh.
Everyone says MK X is better because of the faster gameplay?.... Yet MK 11 has a 10X better roster, customizable move sets and gear/attires. A better story and not fully always focused on newer characters. I think MK 11 is much improved and a better game. Not to mention graphically is way nicer. MK X just looked so dark, it was like the Twisted Metal Black of MK Games. Which it bad ass, I dig it but sometimes the darker tone games don't look as nice to play.
Let's not forget they gave us the original voice actors and playable Sonya,Raiden and Cage from the 1995 film. That alone makes MK 11 kick ASS. Jason can take a break!
More fun to watch, better combos, better voice acting and a faster pace. Some of these are just preferences. Half the roster is the same too. Mostly mk1 and 2 characters.
Mk11 on the other hand has useless variations that feel less distinct, extremely greedy monetization, needlessly time consuming krypt, and with custom variations some characters have safe 50/50s like subzero.
You speak of kustomization like its a good thing when it's such a flawed and annoying process to unlocking actually cool stuff.
MK11 is too boring
Mkx is faster than mk11. Mk11 is just for noobs
MKX may have the better roster imo, but MK11 just has better gameplay and customization. I think MK11 is better, and I could care less about the haters of MK11 just as much as I can care less about the haters of Fallout 4, which is one of my favorite game btw.
Bro did a coming out
@@user-cc3ef7qh1x☠️
MKx = Mashing MK11= Tactical MK11 respects your reflexes and guessings. Yes I HATE MKX
