WEBVTT 1 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.120 Hello, and welcome to episode number one thirty three of The Chief Stakes The 2 00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:35.039 Controllers podcast presented by Fox PHL The Gambler one or two point five FM, 3 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:39.640 fourteen eighty AM, iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. You can hear 4 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.159 this voice every single week talking about the latest and greatest in video games and 5 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.320 competitive gaming. Got EVO coming up in August. Very excited about that. 6 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:51.560 A bunch of stuff we're gonna be talking about this week in regards to two 7 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:58.200 major publishers and I guess one major publisher and one major franchise that had some 8 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.600 news come out this week. We're gonna focus on those. The first one, 9 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.000 we're going to get into Capcom franchises because there's been some talk during the 10 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:12.680 shareholders meeting about, you know, potential reworkings of some famous franchises. Now, 11 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:17.439 like throw a couple more names into the mix if I could. And 12 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.319 then we're in the second third segments of the show, we're going to talk 13 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.840 about Mortal Kombat one and go through the selections of the roster so far, 14 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:30.439 including cameos and the main roster, and then my picks for who I think 15 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.840 will make the playable roster or who will only be a cameo at best, 16 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:41.519 or who won't show up at all. MO cap fans. Unfortunately, I've 17 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:45.560 got some bad news for you as far as this episode goes, but we'll 18 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.959 get into that later on. First and foremost, let's talk about Capcom because 19 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:57.280 earlier this week the shareholders meeting, those annual share maybe quarterly shareholders meeting, 20 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.640 took place over there in Japan, and somebody asked about a few different franchises, 21 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.280 one being ony Musha, one being Sengoku Basara, and one being MegaMan. 22 00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:12.840 And the MegaMan one in particular set off some alarm bells for folks because 23 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:19.560 it mentioned how Mega Man is a storied franchise for Capcom and how they're always 24 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.599 looking to make new games, but they need new concepts and stuff like that, 25 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.520 and it got a lot of people's minds racing as to what might be 26 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:31.840 the next part of the Capcom of Capcom's historic franchise their words, not mine, 27 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:38.000 and it got me thinking, if they're thinking about MegaMan and other franchises 28 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.520 too, what else could we have asked them about if we were in that 29 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:50.560 meeting, What other games or franchises that they are familiar with or they developed 30 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.000 they have in house. Should they also be exploring I have a couple of 31 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:59.400 ideas here, some of which have not been revisited for a while, some 32 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:04.960 of which have been revisited fairly recently, but could still use perhaps a new 33 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:10.479 game as opposed to a remake or a redo that might tip off one of 34 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.919 the things you're about to hear in this segment. But first and foremost, 35 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.759 I can't go without mentioning it. I will scream it from the rooftops. 36 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.400 I just want a new Marvel versus Capcom game, please. And there seems 37 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:29.199 to be a lot of smoke in that regard, because, first and foremost, 38 00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.400 Ultimate Marvel three is in the EVO lineup for this year, which I 39 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:37.159 mentioned EVO at the beginning of the show, and now this week, apropos 40 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:42.400 of nothing out of nowhere, I got an email from Marvel Entertainment telling me 41 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.599 to watch EVO. Now, why would they be doing that if the only 42 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:52.599 thing they wanted was for us to watch a competition for a twelve year old 43 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.639 game. I'm happy to do that. Love Ultimate Marvel three. I'm probably 44 00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:00.719 gonna watch it anyway, But there has to be something else, right. 45 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.360 They can't just be like, hey, watch EVO, you should watch it. 46 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.520 If they wouldn't have something planned now, is it possible that they could 47 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:14.360 have other games, you know, available there? Like I know they have 48 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.560 the mobile game Contest of Champions, which is technically a fighting game. Might 49 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.079 that show up at EVO two in some regard, maybe on the show floor 50 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:26.240 or whatever. Yeah? Probably, maybe that's just what they're talking about. 51 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.560 But they're telling me to watch EVO, not to go to EVO. So 52 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:34.079 I am holding out hope that Marvel versus Capcom might have a thing, or 53 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:38.920 at least the Versus series in general might have a thing to talk about at 54 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.199 EVO. I have no idea. I would also like to put in Capcom 55 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:47.120 versus SNK into this little part as well. Basically, the crossover fighters for 56 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:53.439 Capcom were amazing, and whether it's a you know, collection that brings them 57 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:59.279 back, a Marvel collection and an SNK collection, or new games in either 58 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.800 franchise, I think it's been long enough and Capcom in SMK seemed to be 59 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.680 cool now, so we definitely get that one. We're not definitely that that 60 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:10.519 one definitely seems like a possibility. Marvel versus Capcom After Infinite who knows, 61 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:14.160 but there seems to be new leadership at Disney. UM, and I will 62 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.160 talk to whoever I need to talk to to get that to happen. UM, 63 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.600 I have no poll. I have very little poll. Um, no 64 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.879 poll at all, not very little. But I would love to see that 65 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.879 so UM Marvel verus Capcom and by proxy Capcom versus AK definitely one I would 66 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.240 like to I wish someone who would have asked about they did ask about One 67 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.079 Musha, which is great. I think one Musha would be a great UM 68 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:40.079 new deserves definitely deserves a great new game. Uh in the near future. 69 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.680 I know they have the one coming out Kami. What the heck was it 70 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.879 called? It was revealed at Xbox Um I think it was Capcom Kami. 71 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:56.000 Uh, what the heck is the name of that game? Um oh kin 72 00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:00.959 Kunitsugami Path of the Goddess not COMMI Kunitsugami. Path of the Goddess was revealed 73 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:05.560 at the Xbox showcase, which very much had Onimushia vibes but wasn't One Musha 74 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:10.959 much in the same way that Exoprimal had Dino Crisis vibes until it wasn't Dino 75 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:16.120 Crisis. So another Onimushia game would be awesome. I'm all about that Dino 76 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.839 Crisis I mentioned it. It used to be that Dino Crisis and Resident Evil 77 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:26.199 were companions using the same engine. One you were fighting zombies, the other 78 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.920 you were fighting dinosaurs. Resident Evil continued on Dino Crisis fell by the wayside. 79 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.360 Not sure why that is, but I would like to see that return 80 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.800 an official setting, a full survival horror. Imagine a survival horror in like 81 00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:43.319 the Resideval four remake style, or even the First Person or seven and eight 82 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:48.680 style, but dinosaurs instead of zombies. That would be fantastic. Maybe there's 83 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:54.079 more development challenges and making giant reptiles as opposed to walking, shambling humans, 84 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.439 but if they want to give that a shot, they should go right ahead. 85 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.519 I'd be all about that. Another one that we have scene in a 86 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.600 while. In fact, I think twenty fourteen was the last time that we 87 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:08.399 saw this person with their own games, So if they wanted to come back 88 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.759 into the limelight, I would be very happy with that. That's Strider, 89 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:15.040 hear you. Twenty fourteen Strider. The Metroidvanius sort of reboot, remake, 90 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.120 whatever you want to call it. Game was fantastic phenomenal. I played the 91 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.480 heck out of that, played it all the way to the end, one 92 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:26.079 of my sleeper hits from twenty fourteen, and I would love to see something 93 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:30.600 like that again, maybe a continuation of that, or perhaps a different sort 94 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.639 of maybe like a not open world, but like a Devil May Cry style 95 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:40.319 action game for Strider. I think that would fit quite nicely with all of 96 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:45.920 his like robotic animal weaponry and that massive sword and you know, for an 97 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.199 ultimating grab an enemy and do Ragnarok. I'm all about that. So to 98 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:54.680 when they give Strider hear You another chance, they should, I'm fine with 99 00:07:54.720 --> 00:08:01.480 that. Excuse me. Also would have in the same vein as we haven't 100 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.399 seen it in a while, but it's been it's been around more recently than 101 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.399 others. Dead Rising. Dead Rising four I liked more than most, I 102 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:15.360 think I feel like. But that is another one I wouldn't mind them going 103 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.879 back to. I kind of like the inherently silly side of Dead Rising. 104 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.040 Dead Rising for me, was always at his best when it was leaning into 105 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:30.480 the goofiness of its concept, being able to build weapons out of nothing and 106 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:35.159 you know, slaying thousands and thousands of zombies in a mall or in the 107 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.080 Fortune City, which was built on the ashes of Las Vegas. In that 108 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:46.679 world, I always found the bosses interesting to the quote unquote psychopaths who just 109 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:52.919 were normal people that went crazy because of the zombie epidemic and turned into these, 110 00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:00.559 you know, jerks basically. I always found that very fascinating and would 111 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.440 like to see that again. Maybe. I don't know if you'd do it 112 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.960 full reboot, if you could build on the ending of Dead Rising four, 113 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.279 which based on the DLC, I don't think you'd be able to do. 114 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:15.480 I'm not sure, but that's another one that if Capcom wanted to revisit that, 115 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.639 I would be open to seeing a couple more here, one of which 116 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:24.600 I know this is a blind spot for me personally. Dabbled in the first 117 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.360 game, didn't play the second game, but I know that it has a 118 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:35.480 big cult following and is definitely one that is worthy of for me. I 119 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.720 would I would definitely give it a shot if they wanted to give it a 120 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:45.039 remake treatment maybe or a remaster treatment. That's beautiful, Joe. I know 121 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.200 a lot of people love that game. I loved him in Marvel three. 122 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.320 I thought that was a really cool addition. But if they wanted to give 123 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.159 that franchise, I think one and two, a remaster of one and two 124 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.000 in one package would be pretty cool, and you could use that to build 125 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:05.679 heat for to see what kind of response you might get to a sequel to 126 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.840 a brand new game. I think that's a I think that's a very worthy 127 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.200 candidate, actually, now that I think about it, so I wouldn't actually 128 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:15.279 be surprised if we saw that in the near future. If they're really going 129 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.759 to be digging into old franchises again, they certainly seem to be firing on 130 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:24.919 all cylinders, don't they Capcom Right now? Everything they make, with very 131 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.639 little exception, has been phenomenal. Reside Before Remake and Street Fight or six 132 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.279 just this year, Resideval Village, you know, in recent past, and 133 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.639 other games that I know I'm forgetting. Devil May Cry five is in there. 134 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.399 So now would be the time, I think, while they're you know, 135 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.960 so hot, to resurrect some of these older franchises and see what kind 136 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.919 of new spin they could put on it. And Beautiful Joe Beautiful Joe would 137 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:54.200 be the put the remaster out first and then see where we go from there. 138 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.879 So yeah, give me some more beautiful Joe would give me an excuse 139 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.080 to play them, Like I said, blind Spot for me, and they've 140 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.320 actually played them before. But I think if I had to pick one, 141 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.039 oh man, there's so many like Rival Schools I'd love to see again. 142 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.919 But that's a that's a legal nightmare. Okami I feel like deserves more than 143 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:18.799 what it got because it was such a great Zelda esque sort of game, 144 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.360 like an Okami not not. I don't want it to use surp Breath of 145 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.879 the Wild that seems a little you know, easy, but like a like 146 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.519 an open world sort of adventure in that vein with Okami in that style would 147 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.200 be phenomenal. Clover Studio is obviously closed now, so that would would it 148 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.559 would need to be a different internal studio or licensed out elsewhere. But I 149 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:46.159 think I feel like I'm a TaRaSu deserves a a resurgence. Okami Den was 150 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.840 good, but that was the last game even so give me Okami two that 151 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:56.440 would be awesome. And then finally, um, I think one that we 152 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.720 were teased for a while and then the guy that was teasing it left. 153 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.960 So many people may think this is dead, but Dark Stalkers I think it's 154 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.600 time for Dark Stalkers, and I would be okay with Some people may not 155 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.200 agree with me on this one, but I would be okay with a moving 156 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.120 away from the fighting game genre if it meant Dark Stalkers could come back, 157 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:22.559 right Like, I would play a dark Stalker's side scrolling beam up, I 158 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:28.279 would play a Dark Stalker's three D action game where you switch between a couple 159 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.519 of different heroes and fight against like Dmitri or Pyron or or you know, 160 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.159 Huitl or whatever's name is. I'd be fine with that if it meant Dark 161 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.080 Stalkers came back. I would be open to it not being a fighting game 162 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.320 because then you could introduce it to people in a different medium and then maybe 163 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.000 make it a fighting game later on, or put characters from it in other 164 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:56.919 fighting games like Street Fighter, or or if you brought Marvel versus Capcom back, 165 00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.200 like I keep way asking you too, you could put them in there. 166 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.000 It's just another way to introduce those characters again, see if you can 167 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.440 get more of a following from them, and then maybe go back to fighting 168 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.360 games, because right now Capcom Street Fighter they're big fighting franchise, putting a 169 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:16.080 lot of focus on that, as they should, but if they were to 170 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.120 bring back a crossover game or you know, something like that, there are 171 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.759 ways to get Dark Stalkers back into the mainstream. Granted, there are some 172 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.399 hurdles to cross. There were some things about Dark Stalkers that make them so 173 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.240 popular that may not fly in the current age, like character designs specifically to 174 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:37.600 come to mind. But whatever it is, whatever they want to do to 175 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:43.480 get Dark Stalkers back into into the zeitgeist, I guess would be the word. 176 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.480 I'd be perfectly fine with it, because the franchise deserves it. It's 177 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:52.399 a cult hit, it's got a great following, and yeah, so Dark 178 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.360 Stalkers would be my number one choice, I think even if everything I said 179 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.159 there, well, no sorry, number two more of us Capcom's number one 180 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:03.919 with a bullet Number two. Dark Stalkers for sure, But there are plenty 181 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.759 other Capcom franchises to choose from. Some that I did not mention here. 182 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.559 Ghosts and Goblins recently had a resurrection, but could could stand for a new 183 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:18.320 game. Lost Planet might be an interesting thing to return to. A lot 184 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.919 of retro games are getting you know, new and improved versions like Double Dragon 185 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:28.080 Guiding, a teenage inter Turtle Shredders Revenge, so perhaps a final fight in 186 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.559 that vein would be cool. Streets of Rage four is also in that collection 187 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:37.200 as well. But there's plenty of opportunity, I think for Capcom to expand 188 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.240 their portfolio by expanding on franchises they already owned. If you have any thoughts 189 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.039 of what you might like to see, hit me up at Big Man Finale 190 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:50.919 on Twitter. I'm happy to hear your opinions or thoughts on that because I 191 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.519 might have missed one. There might be a game that I completely forgot about 192 00:14:52.559 --> 00:15:00.840 in the Capcom franchise or Capcom portfolio that you want to see again, whether 193 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.159 it's a game you played as a kid or one that you'd just like to 194 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.120 see them return to. I have a feeling that the Breath of firefolks might 195 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.799 come after me. But and again, that's another one. So we'll say, 196 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.120 we'll see what's up. We'll see what Capcom has on the pipeline right 197 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:15.759 now. But like I said, right now, anything they seem to be 198 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:20.399 making is it's pretty good, too great, So let's see if they can 199 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.759 continue that role. But with games that they haven't made in a while. 200 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.360 I think that would be cool. But coming up after the break, we 201 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:33.279 have two segments worth of figuring out what the heck the Mortal Kombat one roster 202 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:39.000 is going to be, whether it's going to include your favorites, if your 203 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.480 favorites get stuck in a cameo, or if they're not in there at all. 204 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:45.120 Again, as I warned at the beginning of this segment, mo, 205 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.600 cap fans, don't get excited. I don't think this is your time stick 206 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:54.840 around, all right, welcome back The Chief steaks in Controllers. Episode number 207 00:15:54.879 --> 00:16:00.320 one thirty three just went over the future of Capcom, possibly thanks to the 208 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.559 little teases and the shareholders meeting this week. Obviously, they've only talked about 209 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.360 Mega Man one, Musha should go saying Goku Basara, and one other one 210 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:12.840 that eludes me. But if the well is full for those franchises, I 211 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.840 feel like it could possibly be full for the rest of their portfolio. So 212 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.720 those that I mentioned earlier are the ones that I would like to see come 213 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:26.200 back in the future. But now we're going to talk about Mortal Kombat. 214 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:29.480 Let's get into Mortal Kombat one, shall we. So we had some more 215 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.399 news yesterday. Combat Cast came back after a huge hiatus. I don't think 216 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:40.399 we've seen combat cast since what twenty twenty when Ultimate came out, and those 217 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:48.559 last three characters where the Rambo, Molina, and Rain I think were the 218 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:52.639 final three characters in Mortal Kombat eleven. And they did full breakdowns for those 219 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:57.120 We have not seen combat cast since, which is pretty crazy to think about. 220 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:02.639 So they went and they showed us some new footage, brand new trailer, 221 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:04.880 plus a breakdown of Scorpion of Johnny Cage. The new trailer showed off 222 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:11.359 Smoke and Rain as playable characters, as well as four new cameos in Syrax, 223 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:17.680 Sector Frost, and Classic Scorpion. The entire trailer was themed around the 224 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:23.880 lin Quay, the famous Ninja Ninja faction in Mortal Kombat. So very cool 225 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:27.279 trailer, very cool stuff, very gory. Smoke's fatality, I'll make your 226 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:33.000 draw drop literally and I liked what I saw. I'm continuing to like what 227 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.720 I see. I think the versatility of the cameos is going to be very 228 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:41.160 very cool. In fact, in the there was a trailer that this was 229 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:47.400 shown or in the breakdown on much Shore, but Classic Scorpion as a cameo 230 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:52.599 has one of the coolest utility moves I think I've seen yet from any of 231 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:57.400 these cameos, and that is he uses his spear to pull you back. 232 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.559 So like if you're if you're a Poe and it's closing in and about to 233 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.119 go for a big move and you see it coming, you can activate the 234 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:08.720 cameo and Scorpion will basically help you dodge out of the way faster than you 235 00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:12.519 normally would. And it's not like the character has to pose first and then 236 00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:15.519 the spear comes in. It's bang, the spear is there and you're out 237 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:18.720 of the way. That I think could have a lot of implications for competitive 238 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:23.359 MK one, depending on how versatile the rest of his kit is. But 239 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:27.480 with someone choosing classic Scorpion as a cameo, you never know when that dodge 240 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:32.240 is coming out. That was really really cool. Also, I love that 241 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.400 Rain was turned into a mage. I think it's a great idea just to 242 00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:41.039 give a little more versatility to that character. The whole like water effects coming 243 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.079 out of the ball floating on top of the staff, very very cool. 244 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.720 I've always had a small spot for Rain since Ultimate Mortal Kombat three. I've 245 00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.519 always thought it was a really interesting character and injured, the control the weather 246 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.960 or you know, just water in general. So I'm excited to see how 247 00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.359 they build his kit out as well. But it got me thinking, as 248 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.200 many people do, as to where the roster goes from here. So I 249 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.799 went over to tier Maker, the great website if you want to rank things, 250 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.039 as you've seen it all over you know, the internet, all over 251 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.799 YouTube, people use it all the time. And I decided to make a 252 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:22.039 tier list of the known playable characters in Mortal Kombat and where I think they're 253 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:26.440 going to fall as far as MK one. Now, I have five ranks 254 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.400 here, so I technically have six on my image, but five ranks are 255 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:38.400 definite likely maybe cameo at best or straight up nah, the sixth one being 256 00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:42.200 the characters that are already confirmed for the playable roster. I wasn't going to 257 00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:45.720 spend a lot of time debating those because there they are. I'm gonna break 258 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:51.000 this discussion up into two sections. We're going to talk about my definites likelies 259 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.440 and maybe's first, and then we're going to get into the cameo at best 260 00:19:53.599 --> 00:20:00.279 or nah section. In the final segment. I will post this image on 261 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:06.880 Twitter along with the link to the podcast, So if you want to, 262 00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:10.319 you know, follow along, you can check that out if you want to. 263 00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:15.000 If I hope maybe the image even makes people want to listen to my 264 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.720 logic in some of these which some of them obvious. Honestly, my reasoning 265 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:23.920 is just nat So if the image makes people want to listen to see why 266 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.839 I think the way I think, this power to them welcome. Feel free 267 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:32.400 to debate me on the social media that you saw the image on. Happy 268 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:36.519 to have that discussion, always happy. And if you can convince me that 269 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:38.799 somebody that I have ranked lower here might be a little bit higher in the 270 00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:45.799 tier, go for it. But I'm feeling pretty good about where I landed 271 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.960 here. So let's begin with the confirmed. The people we already know are 272 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:55.119 on the roster that is riding lu Kang Katana, Shank song As, DLC, 273 00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.839 Kong Law, Kenshi, Molina, Smoke Rain, Subzero Scorpion, and 274 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.440 Johnny Cage, all of them already in not up for debate, no thank 275 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.640 you. I have three definites here could be four, but I have three 276 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.799 definites that I landed on, and they are Sonia because she's an Og, 277 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:18.359 Kano because he's an og, and Reptile because so many people have been asking 278 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:25.240 for Reptile. I feel like Reptile is slowly filling in the Melina portion of 279 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:29.000 the fan bases wears Reptile Wears Reptile, just like it was Wears Malina Wears 280 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:33.880 Malina from m K eleven. So I think Reptile does show up here with 281 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:41.039 the Reformed Universe aspect as lu Kang by the Fire God lu Kang as per 282 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:47.319 the story. I don't know that he will necessarily look like a Ninja anymore. 283 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:51.359 I think he will definitely lean more into the reptilian aspects of his character, 284 00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:56.119 thinking like not MK four because that one was particularly dumb, but like 285 00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:59.119 kind of like how he looked what It's Deadly Alliance, where he looked like 286 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:03.000 a lizard, not so much AI ninja, like a humanoid lizard. I 287 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.359 think that's the approach that they'll take in the design, even MKX to an 288 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.559 extent as well. But I think they'll leave even more into it and just 289 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.799 make him like a lizard man as opposed to a lizard ninja thing. But 290 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:19.599 I do think Reptile is a definite I really do, just because the ground 291 00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:26.400 swell of community support is so high for this character after not seeing him forever 292 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:32.119 or in the entirety of m K eleven, I should say I think he 293 00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.880 makes come back here at m K twelve on the main roster, and I 294 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.160 do think that's the launch roster too. I don't think they'll save him for 295 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.200 DLC. The argument can be made that, of course they'll save him for 296 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.799 DLCA because people are going to purchase him, but I don't think. I 297 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:51.240 think we'll see Reptile on September nineteenth or fourteenth. A few have early access, 298 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:56.920 whatever it is when the game first launches. Now moving into likely, 299 00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:02.319 first one is Irmak, another one very popular character that was not in MK 300 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:07.279 eleven. This one, this one I only put likely instead of definite because 301 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:12.400 I think you get into too many Ninja's territory, which is always a worry 302 00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:15.519 when these Mortal Kombat games come out because there are so many Ninjas. You 303 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:21.279 don't want to overload the roster with Ninja or Ninja based characters. That's been 304 00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:25.599 something that people from the complaining about since Like Trilogy back on PS one, 305 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.559 And when I put Reptile and Irmac next to each other, I feel like 306 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:37.920 Reptile would get the top billing or would get billing over Irmak just because of 307 00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.759 the crowd swell that I mentioned earlier. Nothing against Irmac. I actually like 308 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:47.319 Irmac more than Reptile myself, but I just think if between the two of 309 00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:51.160 them, I feel like Reptile would have a better chance of getting into That's 310 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:56.400 why I bumped Irmac down to likely and not to definite as Reptile is. 311 00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:02.559 Next step is this is another one that has a lot of people asking for 312 00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:07.039 her, and she has shown up in different places, whether it be cut 313 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.440 scenes of story modes or stuff like that, and I feel like, maybe 314 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.160 this is the time you bring her in. That's Serena Black half black, 315 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:19.880 half white hair Mortal Kombat four, I believe, And then I wish she 316 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:25.200 and Deadly Alliance as well. I'm not entirely sure, but this is a 317 00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:30.720 character that I feel like has another bit of a cult following, cult backing 318 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:37.079 or something like that that may push her into the main roster as like a 319 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.119 you know, here you go sort of thing. Now, this is I 320 00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.599 think of the two Reptile and Serena, I think Serena is the more likely 321 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.079 DLC candidate because I feel like this is one that you could get away with 322 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:52.680 just making DLC so that the people who want her can purchase her, whereas 323 00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:56.200 Reptile, I feel likes a more universal appeal and should be in the main 324 00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:02.720 roster. But I do think Serena can make the opening roster just based on 325 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:03.880 what I have here. Now, I do want to point out too real 326 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:10.359 quick that the way that the characters are listed in each section, I did 327 00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:14.160 not put them in priority, So I'm only talking about them in the order 328 00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:18.599 they're listed now. But like Serena is not more likely or it isn't necessarily 329 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.759 more likely in my opinion than the next person. I'm going to mention, 330 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.880 and I'll explain why in a minute. And if you're looking at the image, 331 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.359 you know who it is. But it's just the order that I picked 332 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:34.440 them from the bottom as I was putting them in to each list. But 333 00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:37.720 Serena here, I see a lot of people asking about Serena, and I 334 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.720 have since MKX. So this is another one that I think, you know, 335 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.559 if Boone is listening to, if Boone is trying to avoid the mistake 336 00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.039 of Molina, this is another one that might get in just based on that. 337 00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:53.720 But we'll see, We'll see We'll see what he decides to do there, 338 00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:57.920 but I think Serena might have a potential for this roster if the next 339 00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:03.200 one is Jackson only. The reason Jackson isn't likely is because I think he 340 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.720 isn't not an OG, but he's an older one that doesn't have a place 341 00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.759 in the story yet, and I feel like he might be another candidate for 342 00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:17.559 DLC. Now that this is the one I think I'm most wrong about. 343 00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:19.279 If I'm looking at this, this is the one I'm least confident in. 344 00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:22.720 I feel like I should have moved him up to definite because how this trailer 345 00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.839 was all about the lin Quay, the next trailer could very well be all 346 00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.920 about special Forces. And then there's Sonya and Jacks in the playable roster, 347 00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:36.519 and I'm a dumb dumb I feel like I'm being my mind is being colored 348 00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:40.480 by the fact that Jackson was also a cameo, but it was classic Jacks, 349 00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:45.279 and I put Sonya and Kano, who were also classic cameos, indefinite. 350 00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:47.960 But for some reason, Jack's I don't know what it is, but 351 00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:51.759 I don't know if he's one definite like the other two. I'm probably wrong 352 00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:53.119 here. Like I said, if all the ones in likely, this is 353 00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:59.599 the one I'm most feeling wrong about, and if he shows up in the 354 00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.680 roster or that, I should have just put him indefinite. But I do 355 00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:06.240 think he's likely either way. I don't think he's a NO, and I 356 00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:11.400 don't think he's reserved cameo only, but I would need I need to see 357 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:15.039 if he's actually going to be in the available roster or not. And Jax 358 00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:18.599 is actually a candidate for one of those characters where you see him in the 359 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:23.799 story, but he's a DLC character, right. They've done that a couple 360 00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:29.960 of times, where they've put characters that were had parts in the storyline end 361 00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:34.359 up becoming DLC later down the line. So he is one that I think 362 00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:41.400 might get in there by virtue of his being an older legacy character. But 363 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:45.000 he's also one that I could see being held for DLC. Not sure who 364 00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:49.680 knows, We'll see about it. And then the last two likelies are Havoc 365 00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:55.279 and quan Chi. Both of these would be returning characters, one from MKX, 366 00:27:55.319 --> 00:28:00.480 the other from the Armageddon Deception era. I think we don't know who 367 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:04.640 the villain is yet, right, we don't know who the malevolent force is 368 00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:07.519 yet I have a prediction that it's going to be lu Kang himself. He's 369 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:12.240 going to go drunk with power and turn on his heroes and you know that 370 00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.400 sort of storyline. But I do think there needs to be an instigator, 371 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:22.039 right. I think Quanshi is a good option because I could see in my 372 00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:26.759 head the logic of lu Kang creating this new universe and not wanting anything to 373 00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:29.880 do with a Shao Khan, so he leaves Shao Khan by the wayside. 374 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.960 Shanksum obviously was in the opening trailer. He's DLC. So we have one 375 00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:38.519 there. But maybe we go Deadly Alliance, right, maybe we go Shanksung 376 00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:44.160 and Quanshi are together again. That's where this story goes. You hark him 377 00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:47.880 back to the PS two era of Mortal Kombat, which seems to be happening 378 00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:52.359 elsewhere in this game too, as I mentioned before. So that would be 379 00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.599 awesome, like a Shanksun Quanshi as the bad guys, which then makes lu 380 00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:03.400 Kang go mad with power and have to resort to nefarious ends to keep Earth 381 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:06.599 round protected. I could see that being the storyline. Now Havoc. Havoc 382 00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:08.200 is a wild card He's another one that has been around for a while. 383 00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:11.880 He's another one that people have been asking for, and he is part of 384 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:17.799 the chaos realm. So maybe, since lu Kang is creating this orderly new 385 00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:25.279 universe, a chaos or a agent of chaos like Havoc would be the perfect 386 00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:29.839 person to be a foil for lu Kang. That's why I put him as 387 00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:33.599 likely, because we need villains, right, we need people to be the 388 00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.799 bad guys, and so far other than Cage being a jerk and Rain being 389 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.680 like the Linden Quay we were waiting for you. If that was Rain, 390 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.119 I don't even know if that was his voice or not, but like that 391 00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:48.599 tension there, we don't have like a big bad yet in any of these 392 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:53.759 trailers, and so a Shangshung Quanshi alliance makes sense, as does an agent 393 00:29:53.759 --> 00:30:00.799 of chaos mucking up lu Kang's new order. So either one of those make 394 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.720 sense to me, and that's why they're in likely, then we moved to 395 00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:08.480 maybe. And there are some Honestly, these are coin flips as far as 396 00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:14.680 like reasoning is concerned. I have them either because they were in the previous 397 00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:18.759 game and they don't need a break. They might come back as DLC things 398 00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.640 like that, So noob Sibot fits into that realm, Jade fits in that 399 00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:23.880 realm. Sindel fits into that realm. But I also think I could have 400 00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:29.720 bumped her to cameo at best because of how much people did not like her 401 00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.960 story arc, the way that her story ended MK Levitt. I thought it 402 00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:37.160 was awesome to give her extra agency like that, but some people were not 403 00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:41.519 fans, so I wonder if they cool off on Sindel for a game, 404 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.000 possibly too, But she could always come back as a cameo night Wolf same 405 00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:48.680 thing. I don't think anyone particularly like disliked him or his story. I 406 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.279 just think he could cool off a little bit, maybe come back later on 407 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:59.680 in a different format. Scarlett is another one. She was awesome and MK, 408 00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.400 but I feel like that was her comeback story. She was in nine, 409 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:06.559 didn't, wasn't in ten, came back in eleven, can cool off 410 00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.119 in twelve? Maybe DLC down the line, um, but then you know, 411 00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:15.160 come right back in twelve or something like that. Ohnagare the Dragon King. 412 00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:21.000 Now I mentioned we needed a villain, and I mentioned that we um 413 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:30.400 we needed a malevolent force. Odaga could be that, but I feel like 414 00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.880 that's getting ahead of ourselves, right. Um. I feel like that might 415 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:41.119 be pushing the gauntlet just a little bit. UM And I feel that maybe 416 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:44.680 you wait on the Dragon King for another game or even like a story extension 417 00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.880 to this. UM. I just I'm not I'm not convinced that Onaga needs 418 00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.240 to be the big band here yet. You might have one or two more 419 00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:57.799 entries to get to him. Um. Fujin kind of falls into the same 420 00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:04.279 realm as the previous characters, though I could see him coming back along with 421 00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:10.240 Riden. How Riden is like this young character that can harness the power of 422 00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:14.839 electricity. I could see Fuji and being a foil to him, but with 423 00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:17.880 the power of the wind, that could be fun. I have Lee May 424 00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:22.319 in maybe here, just because again I think they're harkening back to the PS 425 00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:24.680 two era, and of all the characters in the PS two era that I 426 00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:29.759 could have chosen from, Lee May is one that I think has a good 427 00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:34.720 shot. She has featured recently, I believe in the I want to say 428 00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:37.680 the MK X or eleven storyline. She was in there somewhere but just never 429 00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:43.039 made it into the game. So I feel like she is one that could 430 00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:49.000 be considered here if you're following along with the image, I'm skipping the next 431 00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:51.880 guy because I want to talk about him. Last Natara I have, and 432 00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:54.680 maybe only because she's in the movie. She's in the most recent movie. 433 00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:58.759 Granted she didn't last story long, but just her being in that movie, 434 00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:05.079 people might want to play as her. Potentially a DLC candidate down the line, 435 00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:07.799 but that is one I think might be a possibility, just based on 436 00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:13.079 showing up in the movie. Yeah, Shujinko, who was the main character 437 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:17.359 of the Mortal Kombat Conquest story from Deception, and that alone, I think 438 00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:22.720 puts him in the maybe category, just because I personally am sentimental about that 439 00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:24.559 mode. I thought it was awesome. I thought it was a lot of 440 00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:27.839 fun to play, and I would love to see that character come back in 441 00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:31.240 this new era. Maybe a young Shujinko, not just the old guy. 442 00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:35.559 But if they want to go the old route and have him be the stereotypical 443 00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:42.279 old bearded monk, that'd be fine too. Broca Brocca is one that I 444 00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:45.400 He's the last one I put on this tier, on this list, He's 445 00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:49.079 the last one I put on this image because I could not for the life 446 00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:55.039 of me decide if I thought he would be good for main roster or not. 447 00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:04.480 The whole story behind Molina, which it sounds like they're treating her condition 448 00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:08.800 as like a curse or some sort of like something that she can pull herself 449 00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:15.760 out of. Maybe based on the dialogue and the first trailer, I need 450 00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:21.920 to see more about that. If they're treating the Turcottons as like I'm not 451 00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:28.760 gonna say mutants, but like a race of genetically engineered former humans. They 452 00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:32.360 don't know where Barca fits in there, right unless Baraka is the one who 453 00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:36.760 is spreading this and he's the first Tarcotton, which is possible, but that 454 00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:43.079 character has never been that savvy. He's always been more about brutality. So 455 00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:45.760 I don't know where he fits in this whole thing, which is why I 456 00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:49.360 have him as a Maybe I want to be wrong. It would be cool 457 00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:52.480 if he was in He's probably gonna be a cameo, but right now, 458 00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:55.599 that's where I am with Baraka skipping this guy too. If you're following along 459 00:34:55.639 --> 00:35:00.440 on the image Devora, I just don't like Divora. I don't pops me 460 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:04.079 out, and I don't want to see her bugs, you know, killing 461 00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:08.280 people it's gross. I know she was considered, like I don't controversial, 462 00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:12.199 almost a controversial, but like people liked her, people didn't. In m 463 00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:14.880 K eleven she was in, she did beut in MK ten, came back 464 00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:16.760 at eleven, be fine with them cooling off on her for a game. 465 00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:22.000 But I put her in maybe just because you never know she could come back, 466 00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:27.719 just because she's so unique. Not many other bug characters on this list, 467 00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:29.880 but the last two, the ones that I skipped that I want to 468 00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:34.840 get back to, are Reicho and Shao Khan. Going back to the villain 469 00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:37.079 discussion, we need a villain, so I put these two in the maybe. 470 00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:42.239 But also I put them here because I think you're gonna get one of 471 00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:46.719 the other. And I think because another realm tends to be cheeky, I 472 00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:52.480 think they may go with Reiko and put him in Shao Khan's position, right. 473 00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:57.280 And I say that because when Rico first debuted in Mortal Kombat four, 474 00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:02.000 there were persistent rumors that he was shal Khan, where he was a rebirth 475 00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:10.119 version of Shaalkan, because his ending in the console version of MK four I 476 00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:15.920 think it was N sixty four PlayStation one expanded on his arcade ending. So 477 00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:21.679 first MK four's ending is notoriously terrible. Ryko's in the arcade was just him 478 00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:22.719 going through a portal. He's like, he wins, he goes through a 479 00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:30.639 portal piece, that's it. But in MK four on Consoles, the ending 480 00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:37.360 turned into him showing up in Shaal Khan's throne room and putting the helmet on. 481 00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:39.800 So people thought, oh, he's the second coming of shal Khan, 482 00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:47.280 or he is shal Khan in disguise. All these rumors started flying right eventually 483 00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:50.880 it had to be, you know, deconfirmed, but then people still didn't 484 00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:54.480 believe it. There was a moment in the aforementioned conquest mode or Ryko straight 485 00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:58.199 out says I just like wearing shal Kan's helmet. It was like a cheeky 486 00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:00.559 little reference and then an armygeddon. They were separate characters, so that kind 487 00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:07.719 of removed all doubt. Let's say, so here you have the opportunity to 488 00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:14.719 create Raiko and put him in shal Khan's position and like get rid of shal 489 00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:16.960 Khan for a little while, or even have shal Khan like rise up against 490 00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:21.159 Ryko. I think that would be awesome. So that's why they're both in 491 00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:22.840 maybe. But if I had to lean one way or the other, I 492 00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:28.960 would lean Ryko just to give shal Khan some time off. I think that 493 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:31.679 would be a very interesting way to approach this. It would be a way 494 00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:35.719 that harkens back to the history of the franchise, pokes a little fun at 495 00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:37.800 itself, but also puts Ryko in the place that people thought he was in 496 00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:42.719 to begin with. Back Mortal Kombat four first came out, when that whole 497 00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:45.920 you know, theory controversy, whatever you want to call it, was happening. 498 00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:51.280 So there you go. That's the list of confirms, definite, likelies, 499 00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:54.039 and maybe's in the next segment. I'm gonna take a little break here. 500 00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:58.639 Into the final segment, we'll talk about my cameo at best and my 501 00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:04.920 straight up nat portions of the list before we call it an episode. Stick 502 00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:10.480 around for more Mortal Kombat greatness. All right, Welcome back to Chief Sticks 503 00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:15.880 the Controller's episode number one thirty three, breaking down the Immortal Kombat one prediction 504 00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:21.559 tier thing image that I hosted on Twitter along with this episode, so you 505 00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:23.880 can hear my reasoning as to why certain characters might fit in certain places. 506 00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:30.320 We talked about by you know, the ones that I'm most confident or maybe 507 00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:32.880 confident in making the playable roster. Now we're gonna get into the characters that 508 00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:37.599 are either going to be cameos at best or just straight up not in the 509 00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:40.559 game at all, which you know, kind of sucks. There's a lot 510 00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:45.800 of characters here that I kind of went back and forth on, but honestly, 511 00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:51.239 where I landed here, I'm pretty confident in what's going to happen here. 512 00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:53.320 But there is one thing I do we need to address before we move 513 00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:59.559 on here that may that will affect at least one person down here. The 514 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:07.000 DLC leak. So there was a leak of potential DLC characters by Amazon Italy 515 00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:12.800 that was covered by multiple outlets all around, and two of the names we've 516 00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:19.199 already addressed, with a third one coming up in this segmentum plus three guest 517 00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:25.840 characters and guest characters is a whole other ball of wax that Yeah, it's 518 00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:29.639 that. That one's gonna be It's gonna take a while to get through. 519 00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:36.559 So the DLC playable characters that were leaked by Amazon Italy Quanshi Irmac and Takada 520 00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:38.400 Omniman Peacemaker and Homelander are there as well, but like I said, guest 521 00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:43.920 characters, that's a whole other episode. Um quanshi I said, maybe a 522 00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:47.960 deadly alliance thing going on if they're both DLC. One is the pre ordered 523 00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:52.320 bonus, the other one is Pack one. That could definitely be a part 524 00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:55.880 of the story that would be awesome Iermak as I mentioned, I did think 525 00:39:55.880 --> 00:40:00.840 Reptile would get the tip over Irmac, but Irmak being in Combat Pack one 526 00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:04.679 tells me that maybe Reptile is in the main roster, so I might be 527 00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:09.039 onto something there. And then Takeda, who I grouped in with the rest 528 00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:14.960 of the Combat Kids, the Cassie Cages, Jackie Briggs, Kunjin and Takeda 529 00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:19.000 as not coming in at all because in this remade universe the kids wouldn't exist, 530 00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:22.440 So with Takeda being in the game, maybe I'm wrong about that. 531 00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:27.719 Ha ha, So little spoiler when we get to the NAH section, which 532 00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:30.840 is where I'm going to start right now. But also too, there were 533 00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:36.079 some other cameo fighters that were listening in Combat Pack one. We're going to 534 00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:39.000 talk about those in a second. So as far as the NAH is concerned, 535 00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:45.559 the characters I don't think you're coming back Collector Setrion and Chronica. Chronica 536 00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:49.639 is, you know, dead. It's the whole reason we're in the storyline 537 00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:51.880 where it is. I would I would be interested. I don't think she's 538 00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:55.679 coming back. Setrion was an old elder god, not a new elder god, 539 00:40:55.719 --> 00:40:59.920 so it would makes sense that she wouldn't come back, and Collector just 540 00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:06.719 sucks. I'm sorry. Collector is a very weird character, and I don't 541 00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:09.920 want to see them back, So sorry, Collector, peace out. I 542 00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:13.599 know some folks like to play with you, but I wasn't one of them, 543 00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:15.760 and I don't want to see you in the game anymore. Pure personal 544 00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:22.440 preference. Get out Meat Nah would be a funny cameo, but nah, 545 00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:27.360 I don't want to see Meat. Blaze kind of in the same vein as 546 00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:30.039 Onaga, but I don't. If they were going to bring Blaze back, 547 00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:34.760 I would want it to be less Arm again. In Big Bad and More, 548 00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:37.719 was an MK four secret character, but then again, it's just another 549 00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:43.039 ninja, and a fire Ninja already exists. His name is Scorpion, so 550 00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:47.840 we don't need that, Zoe. How No, we saw his severed head 551 00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:53.760 in Immortal Kombat eleven with Aaron Black intro again new universe. He could come 552 00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:58.039 back in a different way, but I just don't see that happening. Same 553 00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:00.800 with Cobra. Cobra was basically made to make fun of the street Fighter characters. 554 00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:05.400 I think he is going to be unless he's completely redesigned. I think 555 00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:10.679 he's going to be a a visage of a bygone era, even a PS 556 00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:15.239 two era, which, as I mentioned multiple times as being referenced a couple 557 00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:19.400 of times in MK one. I just don't see him making the jump Tavan 558 00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:22.440 and Dagon. Unlike Shujinko, who people like myself have a soft spot for 559 00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:27.599 because of his role in Deception, I feel I do not feel the same 560 00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:36.760 for Taven and Dagon the Armageddon storyline protagonist antagonist, So get out. Darius 561 00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:40.800 just boring. Not a fan of Darius, don't like him, so he 562 00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:44.119 can stay out. Maybe a cameo for Darius, but I have him in 563 00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:50.800 nah here. Dramin with the Club might be an interesting cameo, but honestly, 564 00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:53.719 I don't even want to see him in that regard. Mo Cap again 565 00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:58.760 maybe, but no, I don't. I don't think we see Moo Capital. 566 00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:00.480 I think that's a level of silliness that we're not going to go back 567 00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:07.400 to anytime soon. Cyber Smoke I have in NAT only because the you know, 568 00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:10.440 human Smoke is in the roster. Could we see him appear with Cyrax 569 00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:14.960 and sectors cameos, Yeah, sure, maybe, but I just don't see 570 00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.519 that happening. Chameleon both versions male and female, although I think the female's 571 00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:22.519 name is different and I just can't remember it at the moment I put them 572 00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:28.639 in NAT. But Chameleon is listed as one of the five Combat Pack one 573 00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:31.760 cameo fighters from that leak, so that one might come back to bite me 574 00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:37.280 in the backside. We'll see, But I just didn't think. I feel 575 00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:44.679 like even as cameo fighters, they're basically, you know, living random selections 576 00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:47.960 like Mokujian and techn or eleven in Street Fight or five. Right, it 577 00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:52.599 doesn't make any sense to me. If I wanted to pick random, I 578 00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:54.559 pick random. I don't made a character to do that for me, although 579 00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:59.039 Chameleon did sort of mix that up by just having all of their moves, 580 00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:01.760 so I don't know. Maybe maybe Chameleon would make sense as a character, 581 00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:05.320 but I don't. I don't think it's going to happen in this one. 582 00:44:06.039 --> 00:44:10.760 Takada kon Jin, Jackie Briggs, and Cassie Cage, like I said, 583 00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:14.840 did not think they'd be coming back because I didn't think the combat Kids would 584 00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:19.320 exist since this is a newer universe and we're kind of going back to basics 585 00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:22.199 here. But with Tacada being in the link in the leak, could be 586 00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:25.199 wrong about that. I still don't see it happening, and I also don't 587 00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:30.159 think they would be cameos for the same reason. D Row from Deception. 588 00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:31.880 I didn't remember that guy's name. I had to look him up, so 589 00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:37.559 no, see you later. Jarek is another one. Jarek is basically most 590 00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:45.639 famous for that horrible Mortal Kombat for ending one of the worst Mortal Kombat endings 591 00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:50.039 of all time. I would be okay with him then bringing him back, 592 00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:53.960 but only to recreate that scene in the story mode and then never see him 593 00:44:53.960 --> 00:44:58.159 again. I don't want him in that. He's just boring. He's just 594 00:44:58.360 --> 00:45:01.119 boring. I don't want any parts of it. And Kayle was on the 595 00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:05.760 fence about But he's another one where I didn't remember his name. I had 596 00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:08.880 to look him up, and that I don't think bodes well for mister Kaium 597 00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:13.679 would be a fun, you know, reference in a cameo or something like 598 00:45:13.719 --> 00:45:16.400 that, maybe a appearance in the story mode where they don't actually become part 599 00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:20.039 of the main roster, but I don't. I just don't see a future 600 00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:23.679 for Kai either. And then cameo at best. These are characters that I 601 00:45:23.679 --> 00:45:29.079 think are worthy of cameos, but I don't know that they're going to end 602 00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:34.679 up being there. Cabal, I just Cabal could maybe bump up into the 603 00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:37.679 maybe section, but he was just an m K eleven. It would depend 604 00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:42.920 on how deep they're going to go into the Black or Red Dragon like sort 605 00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:45.400 of factions. Just don't see that happening. Same with Aaron Black. I 606 00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:49.920 feel like Aaron Black was a menace in MK ten and eleven, and they 607 00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:52.880 may cool off on him for a little while. Be a great cameo. 608 00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:57.480 He's an awesome l zone or cameo sort of character, but I just don't 609 00:45:57.480 --> 00:46:01.400 see anything more than that. I have Ferra Tour as cameo at best, 610 00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:07.079 which is interesting because Farrah is listed in the Link and the League as well 611 00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:10.800 as a cameo fighter, which would make sense Fara Tour for those who don't 612 00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:14.719 remember was MKX. It was a little kid on top of a big, 613 00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:20.400 hulking like mutated sort of person. Farrah was the kid. So if the 614 00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:23.079 Farrah has like grown up a little bit and her own character, that would 615 00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:30.039 be interesting. Goro I I kind of like Goro, Kintaro, and Motaro 616 00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:35.480 all in the same sort of probably cameos. We've already seen. Goro, 617 00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:40.159 Kintaro and Motaro fit into that as well. Um Chinnak also slightly into that. 618 00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:44.599 But I would also lean more towards Shinok as a no. I put 619 00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:46.599 him in cameo, but but it makes sense for him to be a no 620 00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:50.440 as well, just because he's a big bad We need new big bads. 621 00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:53.119 He was a big band in MK ten but MKAX. Excuse me, but 622 00:46:54.119 --> 00:47:00.440 Goro, Kintaro and Motaro classic mid bosses would make for great cameos. Like 623 00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:05.159 I said, Goro's already there. Kintaro can just be a more powerful or 624 00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:08.960 a faster version of Goro, and Motaro definitely unique in being a centaur could 625 00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:13.400 take up a bunch of the screen and create like big openings for a character. 626 00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:16.440 That would be cool to see. Moloch I have here as a cameo 627 00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:20.800 just because I had a choice between Moloch and Drama in my head, and 628 00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:23.639 I think Moloch is a more interesting character. Drama is just weird with the 629 00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:27.119 club. But this guy's got the wrecking ball, so he's got some distance 630 00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:31.360 to him. Could be an interesting cameo there. Shiva Shiva, I had 631 00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:37.400 a problem. I was in between maybe and cameo at best as well. 632 00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:44.760 Could possibly make a sneaky entrance into the main roster at some point, but 633 00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:49.079 I do think she's better suited as a cameo with the rest of her forearmed 634 00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:52.360 Shokan brethren. Again, would not be surprised if one of them makes the 635 00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:55.280 main roster, but I think it'll If I had to pick one of the 636 00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:59.440 three to make the main roster, it would be Kintaro because he's the most 637 00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:02.440 recent. He's the one that hasn't been like Gora was an MKX, Shiva 638 00:48:02.480 --> 00:48:07.360 was in eleven, so technically it's Cantaro's turn. But I do think all 639 00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:10.840 three of them, whether it's being cameos, Mavado from Deception another one that 640 00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:15.360 was in the league for cameo fighters have him here makes the most sense to 641 00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:20.679 me. Cirax and Sector I don't think are going any more than cameos. 642 00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:22.880 We've seen them confirmed as cameos. I don't think it goes any further than 643 00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:29.119 that for them, Ashra, which is another PS two throwback. These are 644 00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:31.440 the kinds of characters that you can call back to without using a quote unquote 645 00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:36.800 roster spot for them, So I'm cool with Ashra. Also, Kira kind 646 00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:39.920 of fits in that regard as well. Hotahu later down the list as well 647 00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:45.880 Tremor. Tremor is just a victim of too many ninjas, also in the 648 00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:49.960 Cameo Fighters League, so I kind of I am happy with what I came 649 00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:53.239 up with their bow Rye show. I would love the idea of a younger 650 00:48:53.320 --> 00:48:58.199 bo Ryde show in the main roster, but I just don't see it happening. 651 00:48:58.239 --> 00:49:04.960 He's kind of built his repation on being gross um, particularly in Deception, 652 00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:08.719 where he lit a fart on fire as a fatality. UM MKX didn't 653 00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:14.159 Lean didn't lean into that as much, but UM, I feel like if 654 00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:17.679 they wanted a silly cameo bo Rightcho would be a good candidate for that. 655 00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:22.400 Hotaru, who some people wouldn't even remember from Word to Combat Deception. I 656 00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:28.000 have him as a cameo was best at best as well. Tanya from MK 657 00:49:28.159 --> 00:49:31.920 four and MK nine or mkx kx kx UM is another one that I think 658 00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:37.440 could fit into cameo as well. Uh Codal Khan and Garris. These are 659 00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:43.559 the two that I had I put in last into this section UM, because 660 00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:51.440 I feel like Garris is either a cameo or a NO. Because the same 661 00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:53.840 way Chronica is dead and not coming back, I feel like Garris kind of 662 00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:59.280 falls into that being her right hand man. UM would make an interesting cameo 663 00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:02.800 just harken back to at m K eleven in some form or the characters that 664 00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:07.320 debuted in m K eleven in some form, But honestly, I don't know 665 00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:09.639 that it'll be any more than that, and I'm kind of leaning more no. 666 00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:14.800 As for kodal Kan, Kotal Khan was one of the most powerful characters 667 00:50:14.800 --> 00:50:16.559 by the end of MK eleven and I wouldn't be surprised if they want to 668 00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:22.000 cool off on him. But his you know, sunbuffs and his big saw 669 00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:25.800 sword would make for great cameo moves, so I couldn't put him as a 670 00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:30.079 NO, so I put him in cameo. I don't think he's going to 671 00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:34.280 make the main roster. I think he's DLC at best, but I do, 672 00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:37.440 I do. I'm sorry DLC or CAMEO at best. I just don't 673 00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:43.320 like his chances this time around. So we already have twelve on the main 674 00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:49.440 roster based on this if all of the definite and likely characters that aren't in 675 00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:53.920 DLC right, So, if I take Irmak and Quanshi out of likely because 676 00:50:53.920 --> 00:51:00.920 they're going to be DLC according to this league, that means we have eighteen, 677 00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:07.079 so twelve and confirmed three and definite three and likely and then let's say 678 00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:10.800 three or four from Maybe that's a solid twenty two character roster to kick things 679 00:51:10.840 --> 00:51:16.559 off. I don't know what their plans are, obviously they have not announced 680 00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:22.559 or released any numbers as of yet, but this is where I'm sitting right 681 00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:27.400 now. Again. I will share this tier Maker picture with the podcast when 682 00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:30.159 it goes up, so that you can yell at me or tell me I'm 683 00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:32.440 wrong, or tell me where you think people fit. Might have to do 684 00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:37.480 this again with guest characters. Seems like this time we're going to be leaning 685 00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:43.840 into superheroes, or at least superheroes that are antiheroes. Since Omni Man Peacemaker 686 00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:46.719 and Homelander are or in the league, so that might be something we have 687 00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:51.920 to consider in the future as well, but for now I think we're good. 688 00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:54.800 So that is my analysis of Mortal Kombats roster, where it is now, 689 00:51:55.039 --> 00:51:59.519 where it could possibly go again. Hit me up on Twitter at big 690 00:51:59.519 --> 00:52:01.840 Man Finnell if you agree with or disagree, happy to have that debate as 691 00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:06.199 long as it is friendly and lively. Let's not instole each other, for 692 00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:10.519 you know, let's not be jarks. Just as one of the wrestling YouTube 693 00:52:10.599 --> 00:52:14.719 channels I like to watch, says like what you like, don't be a 694 00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:17.280 dick and with that.
