  • I guess when I was a kid, I was one of the few people who always picked Stryker in MK3.

  • Ok, seriously. I have yet to meet a person who hates Stryker for a good reason. You say he sucks? Well, in what way? He doesn't fit in? He has no powers and is an ordinary cop, which is boring? Come on. He's an ORDINARY MAN going up against giant freaking monsters, people that shoot lightning, have ice powers, etc. This just proves how badass he is. Plus I know plenty of people with backwards caps that are still considered cool. Stryker will always be my main man.

  • Give me

    Johnny Cage, Stryker, Kenshi and Reptile and I'm good :D

  • When a tazor is the most interesting thing you have, you dont belong in mortal kombat

  • @squidbeefedit ye, a man in a mokap siut dosent belong in mk but that didnt stop them

  • A police character that shoots pistols. awesome. at least jhonny cage cockpunches people. this character is a schmuck

  • Stryker was awesome!

  • Strykers best appearence is in MK9, no doubt!

  • I always dug Styker.  Aside from combos and cool special moves, he had this cool odd-man-out thing going for him. While everyone else is trying to be top dog of the realms, he's just doing what comes natural to him: protect and serve. And whup ass.

  • POLICE BRUTALITY COMIN UP...PUNK!

  • Stryker is such an underrated character. Overlooked just because of his appearance and lack of cool magical abilities. Sure, he's pretty lame as a character, but he was so powerful to actually play as. In all other Mortal Kombat games that weren't UMK3/Trilogy, he was pretty much nerfed, sacrificing the only thing that made him a good character. But I think they revived him pretty well in MK9, but he still doesn't live up to his Mk3 counterpart.

  • @circulation211 And he also shows that even common people can be used to do GREAT things. Plus I admit he was NEVER my favorite character at all, didn't even play him in trilogy(which was the only MK3 based game I played), only because he just SIMPLY wasn't a character i was interested in, just as characters like jade, and kabal, and smoke and sindel and shang tsung, sheeva and nightwolf and sareena(didn't even know who the heck she was anyway) werent. Even though I did actually LIKE nightwolf

  • @circulation211 . But I gained more respect for stryker cause he uses the best of what he can to his abils. even though he doesn't have superpowers, weapons/weaponry skills, or magical pwrs or super abils. He's like the BATMAN of the MK universe.

  • @joejar5 Its funny, I compared him to batman before as well

  • @circulation211 Hahaha well then we both have something in common then, pretty cool. :D

  • "stryker was never really a fan favorite" because he's a cop

  • dont worry stryker,your always my fav.

  • Oh, and for the record, I think Stryker was completely underrated. His look and moves brought some gritty realism to a game series overflowing w/ gimmicks and superpowers (which is awesome, don't get me wrong).

    I mean, how often in MK had we seen nightsticks or firearms prior to him? Not once. It was a refreshing change of pace and it paid tribute to real-life heroes who put their own lives on the line again and again for our safety, much the way Sonya and Jax had also paid tribute.

  • He could also be called Stryker either because he's a terrible hitter or an awesome pitcher.

  • I was only 3 years old when Mortal Kombat Trilogy came out. (I might have bought it when I was a few years older) . And when I saw Stryker's picture, I thought that he could be a fighting umpire. First off, he wore a baseball cap or at least a cap that looked like one. Second, he had a gruff and rough look. I thought umpires did look gruff and rough when I was just a wee little boy. And lastly, his name, Stryker, reminded me of an umpire saying, "STRIKE!!!" His name sounded like a baseball pun.

  • I could imagine him having a baseball themed fatality. While right next to his opponent, he pulls out an aluminum baseball bat, swings the bat with all his force to sever both of his opponent's legs and hit a grounder. "STRIKE ONE!!!" he'd exclaim. Then, he'd swing the bat toward either one of his opponent's arms to sever it and make a line drive. "STRIKE TWO!!!" he'd shout. Finally, he'd swing the bat at his opponent's head, decapitating him and making a home run. "STRIKE THREE!!! YOU'RE OUT!!"

  • He's become an absolute badass with his latest incarnation.

  • Im not racist but how come everytime i pick stryker i always have to face jax first?

  • he's like the Batman of MK, it's AWESOME!

  • I love his X-ray in mk9

  • @PalerLaze BUSTED!

  • strykers old look is better imo

  • The hat made Stryker. People are stupid.

  • I didn't really start liking him until Armaggedon though. I played with him in MK3 but I wasn't a fan of his costume design and his moves were a bit harder to execute. I like how his costume in MK9 resembles his MK3 costume but looks more like an official police uniform this time. I also like how he kills the other fighter even when not performing a fatality by tossing a grenade at their body after he defeats them.

  • I love Stryker. He's definitely become one of my favorite characters. I've gotten really good with him and people hate it when I select him because I have all his moves memorized and they think his moves are cheap lol.

    .

  • armageddon was such a shitty ass game. 1:57 Even the font looks like some fucking typical chinese takeout menu shit.

  • @my89tube where is michael O'brien now? i would like to see him in complex and restaurant.ok take video to him.ok this year i want to see his face take picture.

  • "Police brutality, coming up!" -MK9 Stryker

  • I will admit, Stryker was a bit corny in 3 but the best person to play as. MKA look was ok but MK 9: Badass.

  • i love how he sucker puncher meleena in the mka intro

  • 0:38 Tell me that doesn't look like Donald Trump

  • I missed Stryker's backwards cap.

  • My problem with this guy is his name, sounds like what some 13 year old dork names his night elf rogue. Ooooh and it spelled with a Y, how hip!

  • 0:46 Noob!

  • Comment removed

  • stryker and cage are bullshit

  • @MrRezanx wtf us your prob? stryker can kick any mk characters ass

  • @megadude332211 hey its my opinion i just hate him

  • Kurtis Stryker in Mortol Kombat 3 was awesome precisely BECAUSE he was a regular looking urban dude who fought with gadgets in a world full of shapeshifting and fireballs. Something about his look screamed 1990's to me (especially with the backwards hat), so seeing him gives me some nostalgia. I didn't really dig his Armageddon gettup. Too sleek and different. He looks more like he used to in the new game (which is badass), but figured out how to wear a hat properly, which is a shame.

  • bullahit i loved strykerys old look thats why i picked him cuz he looked normal but still kicked ass -_-

  • I owe him everything I am. I love you Stryker.

  • @RandomAccessMemory63 He's like the Batman of the MK universe!

  • Hated the character in MK3, but I have to give him props for being the Badass Normal in the cast.

    Luckily they did a good job of making him cooler in MK9.

  • @Yofu Ha, fellow troper. ;)

  • Most realistic Movest ever

  • Lol, people actually like him?

  • @tr4d3m4rk44 I do and in MK9, he's back to what he should be as a one-man SWAT team.

  • He didn't look cool at all in this game. Armageddon was the worst piece of trash in MK history. Glad to see him back to his old self in the new game.

  • @duvalinhn i know right he looks so much cooler as a regular cop XD

  • Hes my fav in UMK3

  • STRYKER YEAH !

  • Police brutality comin up!

  • MK9 Stryker looks like he's from police academy

  • 'Sleeker, cooler look' my ass! They gave him a fucking gip suit in Armageddon.

  • He is so badass in mk9!!!

  • he looked like such a doofus

  • Stryker was pretty lame until they gave him the gun move. His trip and flying toss moves were very predictable and easy to block. His grenades were ok in a tiger shot way, but he was a really weak character in the original Mortal Kombat 3.

  • In MK9 im gonna use Stryker and Johnny Cage in 1 of my tag-teams just because they're both fucking awesome

  • Uggh, I still don't think Stryker belongs in Mortal Kombat Universe.

  • @alexglauer You think that Johnny Cagedid? I mean come on, a movie star?

  • @cajoby Hmm, good point. But I still think Johnny Cage (I mean look at his appearance/outfit in MK1) looks like he belongs, compared to Stryker who doesn't. Cage still looks like a martial artist where Stryker looks more like he came from Beverly Hills Cop.

  • @alexglauer well he is not suppose to be a main character...he juzt fought off the invasion of shao kahn

  • Fuck off stupid haters! Stryker is very cool. And strong. MK 3 introduced a lot of unique fighters and Stryker was one of them. Nice to know that he'll be in new MK 9 game. This character deserves more recognition and publicity. He is one of the very few human characters

  • they put stryker in MK9 but not motaro.... WTF

  • i actually hated strykers look in Armageddon.. i'm glad they've changed him back to his old look for MK9

  • just like johnny cage nobody liked strykers lame ass back in the day.

  • stryker looks like uncle joey from full house ha

  • Stryker is in mk9

  • trivia time!!

    stryker is the only character who's special attacks and fatalities don't defy the laws of physics nor come from a sorce of magic

  • @madman101ish What about Mokap?

  • @shadowario his special attacks defy the laws of physics

  • @madman101ish Oh yeah, I forgot he has telekinetic powers.

  • @madman101ish what about the one where he inflates the enemies head and they float up by they're head and explode?

  • @theguy801 u idiot, that's kabal's fatality. how'd u get kabal confused with stryker?

  • @madman101ish Animality??????

  • @CircaMay85 wat u never turned into a t-rex and devouord your opponent?

  • @CircaMay85 ... good point

  • @madman101ish With the exception of his gun stopping people in mid-air, but you're still right.

  • @madman101ish Mileena's Fatality in (I think) MK 3 w/ the continuous sai stabs didn't; the various decapitations (Kitana, et. al); Cyrax's self-destruct; neither did Kano's original Fatality (which really should've been kept) where he actaully punched through the victim's ribcage and pulled out the still-beating heart.

    ^^^There actually is a martial arts move that does just that; I saw it on a show called "Manswers" when the question "What's the deadliest martial arts move?" was asked.

  • @madman101ish still sucks as much he is not magic.... I don't say its a bad thing .... it's awesome but he is but thing about his attacks ... his special attacks... i think they defy the laws of physics

  • @madman101ish Even the most normal character in MK, Mokap, can shoot energy balls. So Stryker is STILL the most normal.

  • Stryker and Johnny Cage are total bros.

  • hes in mk9 but every screen shot of him is just him getting his ass kicked

  • Stryker's look in this game was so lame, his old school look was waaay better

  • Hate on him all you want. The more you hate him the more awesome he is

  • Stryker is an awesome beast.

    Haters gonna hate.

  • stryker sucks

  • why does everyo9ne hate Stryker?

  • @W13sBiggestFan Stryker is awesome

  • @W13sBiggestFan

    Because he's average. He isn't magical or superpowery. He's just like you or me. Mortal Kombat fanatics are used to magical or superpowery characters and Stryker is different. Which is why everyone hates me; because I'm different.

  • @W13sBiggestFan yes.

  • stryker sucks cock, worst mk character EVER

  • @BEFALLENOFFICIAL we dont care about your opinion, stop coming here to repeatedly announce it

  • The Armageddon of Stryker looks like Michael Ford from The Conduit.

  • I prefer him as the mall cop

  • is this the same stryker from Xmen the movie?

  • @youngjesus8 no

  • stryker isnt a top tier character in umk3, hes mid tier at best.

  • why is he fighting goro? stryker wasnt in MK1

  • @TheKCure it was in mk trilogy

  • @TheKCure True - But Goro is in MK3

  • Oh what the fuck... Put him back to his old cop outfit!

  • @LTWpwn

    My thoughts exactly!

  • @LTWpwn He'll be back in that outfit in MK9.

  • @MegamanNG I've known that for a long time.

    Though there's one big FLAW!!! He's cap needs to be backwards.

  • @LTWpwn True.

  • @LTWpwn Why backwards?

  • @MegamanNG That's out of question.

  • @LTWpwn don't worry, they did.

  • @Stryker1501 Old news.

  • I think this character rules, his moves are a refreshing change from all the supernatural stuff, and his "common" appearance from the earlier games, makes it easier for us "common" people to identify ourselves with im, he is top tier (id say god tier) in the earlier games, and then they changed him...

    Now he may looks like Goldbuster (Old Superman rival) mixed with Wesker (President evil =P) not bad, but nothing special.

    Come on guys, how much does it hurt to have 1 character that differs?

  • BE HOLD STRYKER THE MOST FORGOTTEN FIGHTER IN ALL OF MK

  • @TheNemesisCradle how in the world does he reminde u of him

  • Stryker is Top Tier in UMK3 so all the haters should just stop QQing.

  • stryker is a huge douche, he totally falcon pawnched mileena in the Armageddon opener.

  • SHITTEST! character EVER! mk's BIGGEST failure!

  • @BEFALLENOFFICIAL then he thinks youre a shittest person in the world you fucking fagget ass bitch ho asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • if you think styker sucks then youre a faggot

  • I used Stryker a fair bit in MK3 and used to whoop ass with him ,also he looks like shit in the new ones but i was always a Sub and Smoke fan anyway

  • @johnnyhshroom22 are u gettin it 4 ps3

  • @macisking No, I don't have a PS3 since the only games I really like are Mario and Mortal Kombat and Xbox 360 was cheaper. I would've liked to play it in 3D though.

  • @johnnyshroom221 is there stryker in mk9?

    as he locked character.

  • @xajik3 IDK, man the game's not out yet. I hope so, though.

  • Let's see Stryker in mk9 to say "Ha ha, fuck you" to all the haters.

  • I liked Stryker, the gun move was pro, plus he looked like a regular joe, all pudgy looking.

  • he looks like feedback from who wants to be a super hero

  • Stryker was, is, and always will be awesome. I hope that he is in MK9. At least as a DLC Character.

  • @Insertcoinstudios

    I have a strong feeling that Stryker won't be in Mortal Kombat 9.

    They said they were getting rid of unpopular and clone characters.

    Stryker was never really very popular, so there's a big chance he might get axed.

  • @SlasherIncorporated Well I'm still confident that he will be. If you looked at Ed Boon's Twitter recently, he posted a picture of the shirt that they used for Stryker's motion capture for MK3. It was titled, "Maybe someone is trying to tell us something?" That's my only, but biggest hunch.

  • @Insertcoinstudios

    Really? I didn't know that.

    Hmm...maybe Stryker will come back than.

    I am not against him returning. I like Stryker as a character. I'm really good with him in Armageddon.

  • @SlasherIncorporated

    dude, but he also said if you have a favorite character from MK1-3, there is a big chance he or she might be in it. Stryker for MK9!

  • Stryker is lame.

  • @tehrapeyturtle ur lame

  • haha i hate most of the nypd because a lot of them are dicks but stryker always looked like a cool cop in mk3

  • Most people don't like Stryker, but he just beat Goro flawlessly....GORO!!! How can you not be impressed by that?!?!

  • i actually like his alternate costume in MKA the most :D

  • @Lenin2304 Great minds think alike. lol

  • The first thought i had when i saw stryker in armageddon was; Whta the fuck... Seriously, glasses, swords and a weird outfit,.. Where's my old Kurtis Stryker?!

  • i thought he was Johnny Cage in Armaggedon. I was like, "Wow Johnny Cage just pwned Mileena in the intro." Then i picked the character and i was like "OMG STRIKER!?!?!"

  • too many stryker haters but I liked him

  • Kurtis and Kabal are my favorite!

  • it's like an old saying don't judge a book by it's cover except it goes don't judge a character by his/her looks

  • I ain't 'fraid no popo! call the popo ho!

  • He looked better in the blue and white shirt with the cap :/

  • @SkyFoxCode

    Yes he looked more like an undercover cop and that's what I always thought stryker was. I kinda liked how Stryker looked in MK3 and UMK3 just a modern dude; the new outfit he looks like Albert Wesker from Resident Evil.

  • I want Stryker back in his street clothes ! I LOVE STYKER !

  • i like his robot suit better

  • i liked the old stryker better, hopefully his old outfit will be in MK9

  • i like his old outfit better,

    they made him look like that guy from goodeats.

  • I've always wondered. Why does everyone hate this guy?

  • i dont like him now...i loved him in MK3

  • HE LOOKS EVEN GAYIER THAN UMK3

  • Why do so many people hate him? He was kicked ass in MK3.

  • stryker is cool, i wish they would have put his 90's outfit in the game. i just recently played MK3 for the first time (never was a huge fan of any MK games past 1 and 2) and thought it was just totally rad that he looked so 90's

  • if he comes his mk3 look with minor adjustments should be his alt outfit. main outfit is the swat like look boon and tobias failed to use in mk3 or as long it fits the standards of mk9. a shotgun should be one of his weapons since he is a nypd or whatever cop jobs he has throughout the mk story.

  • Stryker was an enjoyable character to use in both Trilogy and Armageddon.

  • I liked his look more in MK3/UMK3/MKT

  • Kurtis Stryker has many haters but I really don't care. He is great fighter with unique fatalities and fighting style. I love his both looks in MK3 and Armageddon and really hope that Stryker will come back in the next mk games!!!

  • I really want to see the actor of stryker and liu kang from mk3
