10th Anniversary

[Juxtapose]

Ten years ago today, Mortal Kombat (2011) launched on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Ketchup posted a video in celebration of the milestone:

I can't believe it's been a decade. Such an amazing, influential game.

While MKX is my favorite as a fighter, MK9 is by far my favorite Mortal Kombat game of all time.

I never played it, but I'm learning that many people were first introduced to MK with Mk9 and then it makes sense when so many people recall it so fondly.

Kitana was everything in this game lol. MK11 did her dirty

It wasn't my first MK game, but it was the second one i enjoyed as much as i did MK Trilogy.
And it was a great game despite the bugs and shit we get to fix over the years with the engine, the freedom that game offered was insane.

First off, I'd just like to say that Ketchup/Mustard make THE BEST MK content on YouTube and no one is even REMOTELY close. Their Competitive History of series is the best fighting game series I've ever seen.

Secondly, it's crazy that it's already been a decade since MK9 released. To me, it's without question the greatest MK game of all time. Get your "rose colored glasses" bullshit out of here. I still enjoy the shit out of it a decade later. I will NEVER go back and play MK11, no matter how pretty it looks.

I'd pay whatever I had to for a remaster of MK9 with rollback netcode.

While MKX is my favorite as a fighter, MK9 is by far my favorite Mortal Kombat game of all time.

I personally consider the entire soft reboot trilogy to be very, very strong, and the best Mortal Kombat games since the original trilogy. Of the soft reboot trilogy, Mortal Kombat XL is my favourite in terms of gameplay, mechanics, and online play, but Mortal Kombat (2011) is definitely the one that plays nostalgia and tribute to the original trilogy while actually bringing the franchise to a proper, competitive design for the first time since Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

They're content is, without question, fantastic. They're also exceptional commentators.

Mk9 is my all time favorite game. I wish everyone still played it.

 

[Makuholick]

It also had a lot of good designs, a lot of which are even better than their designs in MK11. And looking at the stories of the other two, its own is still bounds ahead.

If it wasn't for mk9 I wouldn't have found this site. Always have been an MK fan but this one was special. I'm a character loyalist and this is the ONLY game where I played 3.

I think online is only playable on the PC Steam version now, though the game is no longer for sale on Steam (You can still buy keys off keyseller sites). For the other three platforms, I believe used copies are the best you'll find now. It's such a shame they never made it backwards compatible on modern consoles. I believe it's the only NetherRealm Studios title to be so.

And just good dudes, very approachable, no elitism. With the amount of ego and elitism in the fgc, it's awesome that K&P have not let their much-deserved success go to their heads.

I would play it in a heartbeat if the PC version was even somewhat functional.

Same here!

One of the cutest things I was able to do with #MK9 was play big exhibits on trips:

Vs Under de Mayo / Mexico

Vs Curbolicous / USA.

Vs Dante / Argentina,

Vs Mr. Bruno / Brazil.

For The Shaolin...

 

[Kiss the Missile]

Just remembering MK9 was the last time they had actual VS screens. And Kombat Kodes, good lord

Yeah. Ketchup is on the Killer Instinct Discord regularly looking for games, though I have yet to play him.

I would commit heinous acts to have fan combos even a FRACTION of this fun back (or just any fan combos back, honestly).

As a RoboCop player, I'm jealous you have any kombos, fan or otherwise.
