Let's reminisce (some MK9) as MK11 approaches

[STORMS]

If this video does not make you hype... I'm sorry you weren't around during this time.

Good times.

Remember this match being hype for me because I believe it was the first (and only?) time that Brady's Sub and Slips' Scorp played on stream/in tournament.


For me, in terms of memorability, Final Round XV may be the GOAT tournament for MK9.
May add more clips to this post later.

Also, it always blows me away whenever I see clips of MK9, the game to this day still looks so good and fluid, it's ageless to me.

I remember how PSN got down for about two months after the game released.
Am I considered an old wolf now?

Remember I used a week of vacation in time for the release of MK9... was thrilled to only be able to play offline the entire time.

MK9 was so much fun. The dash cancles gave the characters so much variation. great stages, characters, tag team, cheats, it had alot. A remake with improved netcode, region free online, buff & nerfs and input bug fixes would be neat

 

[MrWarMachine]

not much else needs to be said.

MK9 would have been amazing if they patched it properly.

MK9 was really special. It was a real return to form after the lackluster 3D era, had an awesome cast, a great single player story mode, and a top notch competitive scene. It was the first game in the series that I ever wanted to play at a serious level. Because of that desire to "git gud", it helped me discover the MK competitive scene and the FGC at large. Quite frankly, I wouldn't know shit about fighting games if not for MK9.

TYRAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT!!! I hope the guy comes back in MK11!

I loved matches between these 2, and there are many more on YouTube.

Watching this live, was a unmatchable experience even today, this match was talked for days, for months, for years, worldwide in the entire Mortal Kombat Kommunity

 

[Eddy Wang]

So many good players we don't see to compete anymore.
So many players who become illuminaty and elitists
man, that was the time TYM was rich, top players were abundant, the kommunity grew faster, everyone was having a blast, those where the days.

MK9 is the embodiment of what Mortal Kombat is. Great gameplay, good graphics, introduction of X-rays, story mode, tag, krypt, tower challenges and lots of single player content... And of course THE MOST PERFECT ROSTER EVER MADE <3

xSmokex vs Reo is a legendary match. I think this was the first time anyone stood up against Reo's Kabal.

 

[Hara-Killer]

mk 9 is and always will be EPIC

only cons is


cyrax OP combos
Kratos( should 've being Jason to make Freddy vs Jason)
Stryker and Kano Low tier

I loved MK9 and played it too much, but it feels very primitive in comparison to MKX. Shang Tsung seems very underpowered too.

No it wasn’t. CDJR, 16Bit and myself had already beaten him at this time.

But yea Dan (xSmokeX) was a legit beast. He’s coming back for MK11 too

Really? No one posted this?

[John Grizzly]

MK9 was incredibly fun.

Those combos....

I sure am going to miss them in MK11.

Yeah, it seemed like combos took skill to perform with dash canceling.
