    Not enough gameplay on Noob honestly. The dude is chillingly beautifully designed. He deserves more screen time for sure.
  • @SlinkBKZ
    I believe Reptile is the first hidden character in fighting game history not just MK
  • @lexxnewton
    Reptile is ma boi since 1995 when I saw that iconic fight in the movie. Everything in his human appearance from the statue till the end of the fight was gorgeous! That fight impacted me so much that I main him almost in every game. Reptile and Liu are my favourite chars.
  • @ZB3yt
    Smoke is definitely S tier
  • @claysoggyfries
    Noob Saibot was always so cool to me. I first saw him in Mortal Kombat Trilogy and I always liked how his sprite is a blank silhouette of a ninja. I also like how he has a clone
  • Scorpion and Sub Zero are iconic. I thoroughly enjoyed Reptile. I love how they creatively expanded upon Ermac.
  • I called the brown classic ninja in the thumbnail “poop” because I didn’t realize Tremor was officially part of the whole Ninja thing
  • @pokemonlover2058
    Please do a tier video of all female ninjas! -Kitana 💙 -Mileena 🩷 -Jade 💚 -Tanya 💛 -Skarlet ❤️ -Frost 🩵 -Khameleon 🩶 I personally consider Tanya a ninja despite never wearing a ninja mask since Khameleon did have Tanya's Surging Blast move in MK: Armageddon.
  • @gabrielmerlo8663
    Don't know why I like Tremor so much. I'm happy that Boon brought him back for MK1 even if it's just as a kameo. Would like to see him as a full character with an interesting backstory in future games.
  • @Artemis-392
    Rain's roundhouse kick was my favorite kick lol
  • @kmartpunk95
    i agree with your ermac take; so much potential with character design but i really didn’t like the whole mummy aesthetic. i wish they would have stuck with the ninja base aesthetic with some additional green flare. great video!
  • @lonewolfcoolie
    I need that mk 9 smoke skin back tho so underrated🔥
  • @Fitforacting
    Great job on making this video. I grew up playing ultimate Mortal Kombat three in the arcades back in the 90s. A lot of these characters I don’t even even know about until you taught me.😮
  • @ThreeSwordXenas
    Reptile deff should NOT be S tier....MK1 made his character awesome but besides that hes been downhill since after mk3 and that reason alone is enough to put him in C rank at best. Smoke is most deff S tier though. Theres a reason fans have been asking for him since MK9
  • @MKF30
    Ermac is at least A tier to me because his story is actually quite deep, a legion of souls conflicted yet trapped together by sorcery in one vessel. He's also been good and bad depending on timeline which is neat. His powers are also awesome and i must disagree with his finishers not being memorable. His 3d fatalities, MK9 and MKX fatals are sweet. His MKX fatalities are insanely cool and disturbing.
  • @skeklat
    Great video. I miss a wind ninja, the only element missing. But since we have Fujin, I think it is very unlikely we'll get one
  • @EvilMaestro7
    This was fantastic. Well done. I agree on your S tier selections. I love Noob Saibot but the dev team didn’t show him enough love.
