Wish he uppercut the opponent and they flew so high they never came back down until the announcement was finished randomly sometimes not cóming back and u see a star twinkle in the back . Signaling they was gone 😂 Or two diff Inputs gave those two diff results. Circle forward was the regular one which trigggers pit fatality also. Circle backwards character fly out if the screen or randomly falls down when announcement says fatality
This is a brilliant video on the history of Mortal Kombat. I find it funny that MK finally come in full circles with JCVD. Back then, he turned down a role for his own game to be part of the Street Fighter movie, the Midway MK team was going to named it something else besides MK, so when JCVD turned it down, they decided the name MK and the character Johnny Cage who was basically a Bloodsport skin of JCVD. Now in 2023, Mortal Kombat 12 (MK1), JCVD is gonna be part as a skin for Johnny Cage, JCVD becomes the second actor to be part of both MK and Street Fighter franchise joining Robin Shou who played Liu Kang in the 90s MK and the Street Fighter movie of Chun Li. I’m happy for JCVD cause he finally gonna be part of MK, but feel sad for Daniel Pesina, they still got beef with that guy. FeelsBadMan LOL
Thanks man! Yeah I can’t wait to see what the JCVD skin looks like in MK1! It would be cool if we saw Carlos Pesina come back as Mokap even if it was just as a Kameo fighter
4:00-13:13 parents and media back then getting angry over the fatalites always seemed stupid to me,Like how could they not tell Mortal Kombat wasn't a bloody game? The first clue is the title itself and also the fact the characters bleed when getting hit
I have to take this moment to defend the Gameboy version. My generation went from the Tiger Ltd hand-helds, to playing games like Mortal Kombat on the way to Grandma's house. It wasn't perfect, but it was waaay better than counting license plates.
Mk11 is what got me back into mortal kombat. I love it. I stopped playing mk titles the game after shoalin monks, but kept up with the storyline, and decided to get mk11 3 weeks ago. I love it. Im surprisingly still good at it too, despite all the changes. Story mode is awesome too. Gonna do another playthrough tonight.
I know right? I lost track of the franchise after Armaggedon, I couldn`t get mk 9 because it didn´t come out to pc, mk X just didn´t do for me, but there was something with mk11 that just made me buy the game, I love it so much story and gameplay, loved it so much that I started watching videos, tournaments.
The genesis port of this game is the one I played as a young kid when my uncle got it for me. The music in that version I still pull up sometimes to play. Great stuff 😎
Liu Kang's Flying Kick move being canon (or was due to the utter retcon-happy rebooting MESS the series' consistency is nowadays...) to defeating Shang Tsung during the first tournament is/was awesome.
6:33 the backgrounds behind their portraits have always reminded me of the backgrounds you could in the 90s on your yearbook photos. sure there's the blue and the green but If your mom really loved you shed spring for the backgrounds with lazers
Here's hoping your channel takes off. With MK11 wrapping up and a new MK1 on the verge of release there should be plenty of MK based searches. For the algorithm!! Edit: ABACABB for Sega blood code is done during the screen where there is a text section where you see the text appear word by word. When done right Scorpion yells his iconic "get over here" and the text turns a red orange. On the title screen that has arcade and option screen enter down, up, left, left, A, right, down. Once this is entered you get another special set of options as well as other miscelanios things you can interact with. Good fun
A friend of mines older brother handed me a folded up paper on the Bus when we were in 3rd grade... It was ABACABB ... He explained how to Input the code and I was off and running
I don't think Donkey Kong and Pac-Man were really dominating the arcades in 1992. More like Konami and Capcom beat em ups and big multiplayer racing cabinets like daytona usa
*1991 at the beginning of the video when talking about arcades, I mention Donkey Kong and Pac-Man as they were two of the biggest arcade games of the 80’s and still would’ve been recognisable brands in ‘91. Certainly you also had early beat em ups like Final Fight, TMNT and River City Ransom, but Daytona USA didn’t release until 1994
I was 5 when it came out. Course I don't have any memories of playing it in the arcade. We rented the Genesis version before eventually buying the Sega CD version. We even had a 32X. 😂😂😂
Nice to know that the guy who is basicly Johnny Cage is also Subzero and Scorpion lolz I remeber hearing that the same guy played Subzero and Scorpion didnt know it was Johnny cage thought it was some other guy
I think the best home version in the 90s was the PC version. You didn't show it, when you mentioned PC I think you showed Amiga, but that was based on the Genesis port. (Amiga and PC are different kinds of computers. Both are computers, but the architecture is so different it's like different consoles. At first in the 80s Amiga was superior by far, but in the 90s X86 DOS/Windows PC with VGA and Sound Blaster was already 32bits and superior to Amiga). The PC version looked almost arcade perfect, had no censorship, the gameplay was good and didn't have the weird lag the snes version has. MK2 was great on PC too, again almost arcade perfect except for a few details like Scorpion's walking instance not being correct, he walks like Sub Zero not with his arm up. (He has the right pose when he's standing still). I wish they made a PS1 port of MK1.
I've never known any parents to ever care about that rating system 🤣🤣🤣 Whether it was older parents who just didnt even know anything about ot or modern day parents who grew up playing MK themselves, amd just do not care about them 🤷🏾♂️

Liu Kang's MK fatality becomes legendary when preformed on pit stage
Wish he uppercut the opponent and they flew so high they never came back down until the announcement was finished randomly sometimes not cóming back and u see a star twinkle in the back . Signaling they was gone 😂

Am I alone in thinking since JCVD was unable to be a part of MK1 they decided to plan B with the Bruce Lee clone?
I rememeber getting mk for super nintendo for christmas in 93 along with zelda link to the past. Still to this day 2 of the best games ever made.
Hoax : Ermac is real guys, his a red ninja
Midway: write that down
😂
He's

Loved this video! Hoping to see more coverage on the MK Trilogy!
Thanks Nick!! Video on MK2 is already in production 🙂
Another amazing video😊

Haha true that 😄
Never knew that about ermac that's actually pretty considering his more fleshed out appearance in MK X.
Already know..still had to watch..MK is KING
Thanks so much for still watching!
Another great vid, nice one👍 I can still very vaguely remember the megadrive launch. The hype was crazy lol.
Thanks so much Jon! I can imagine it was, the ads are funny to look back on
I've seen many videos on mk but you still managed to make your upload better than the others.
Amazing upload mate 🤘
Aww that’s epic! Thank you so much mate! Can’t wait to release the rest of the series!
That was a great video, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series!
Thanks Mike! Next part coming in the following days
Your channel is going to blow up when mk1 releases
Thanks so much!

That’s great you’re enjoying MK again! 🙂
For me it was the MK9.

@@ManiacMayhem7256 I sometimes...post there

Midway: Gorro was made by using the stop motion technique 💪
NRS: Horse too hard 😭
You deserve more views! This was a great retrospective
Thank you so much!
These vids are amazing 😁 cheers buddy appreciate the effort
Thanks for this vid. I first played in 1993, glad to see another perspective on my favorite franchise.
You’re very welcome! Super glad you liked it, hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
@@DonCritic thanks I will check out the rest here soon when I'm off work! Cheers
Good work with this amazing video!
Thanks so much mate! I’m working hard on getting the next episode out as soon as possible 🙂

Now i will imagine johnny talks like guile did in street fighter

Just took a tab and now I’m in for a hell of a playlist 🙏😂❤️
Enjoy! 😃
Love this! Brief but excellent and informative!
Thank you Odin!
What a nostalgia stirring intro
A friend of mines older brother handed me a folded up paper on the Bus when we were in 3rd grade...
It was ABACABB ...

Raiden is based on the villain character in the 1980s movie Big Trouble in Little China.
Could you do one video for every mk gmae?
Yes! Mortal Kombat 2 is in production already and I’ve started writing MK3 & MK4 videos 🙂
@@DonCritic i'm hyped thanks i love your videos i watched the 99 mk characters like 10 times
Thanks so much for your support!! My Mortal Kombat 2 video is uploading right now so keep an eye out 👀 🙂
Arcade Collection should include MK3 and MK4.
Including MK4 would’ve been great, it’s hard to play that game these days without using emulation
We had the Sega Genesis version
I love the fact that Sonya Blade looks like an aerobics instructor because the actress that played her was an aerobics instructor. 😂
Wow I didn’t know that! 😃
I was 5 when it came out. Course I don't have any memories of playing it in the arcade. We rented the Genesis version before eventually buying the Sega CD version. We even had a 32X. 😂😂😂
Both the arcade and mega drive version are responsible for me learning how to memories things lol
2:32 You need to put it into every of your films :)
The opening alone made me subscribe….
Good video
Thanks for watching!

Love the channel and the contents all the best but no called sub zero a scryomancer it's just a "cry o mancer" just letting you know brother
Cyromancer is what I would call Cyber Sub-Zero
Kung Loa taking L’s even before becoming a playable character 😭
I just don’t understand why ST’s sword decapitation wasn’t utilized.
More MK videos Don before you doom us all.
Thanks Jack! I’ve got all the way up to MK Vs DC already on the channel 🙂 click the link in my pinned comment for the whole set
Nice he got one for all of em, he just got to do mk 11 and it dlc then he golden
Great video
I can really do Raiden's torpedo ask my girlfriend. Lol
Man i want Mortal Kombat to get Anime adaptation i hope this dream comes true soon.
That would be cool, I guess the Mortal Kombat Legends movies are the closest we have to that
Note: The MK Kollection in 2011 was not a remaster, but rather straight emulation.
Pit figher died so this could walk.

Oh , MK on the game boy was atrocious XD. The game gear version looked and played much better and 2 and 3 were even worse, but were still very popular.
