Jax’s fatality in this game is very ironic
SavageDaggs but sucks
All the fatalities were simple
armronic
Mr. Check Yourself no they’re not, when this game came out it blew everyone’s mind
@@CeeWorld69 I didn't mean simple in a negative way kid
Kung Lao's shaolin monks fatality where he pulls out a rabbit and beats you with it is a 10/10
that's a thing?!
If this isn't in a fatality in MK11, I'm going to be disappoint
Haha, I forgot all about that one. Definitely 10/10
Haha thats so dumb. The other one where he throws it at you and the rabbit goes full Holy Grail on you is also hilarious 😂
@@peeweewallabowski7084 yes! Lol
Johnny Cage: a Friendship so awesome, it became a Fatality.
And his outro in MKX.
Kung Lao's Friendship became a fatality in Shaolin Monks as well. He straight up beats the crap out of you with the rabbit.
@@ProxyDoug Or the rabbit attacks you on its own and eats your head off.
It's also a Babality in MK9
Which game was that a fatality in?
17:02 Holy shit, that Lao combo is ridiculous. 4 hits, 80% damage. All the hours I've played MKII, I never knew he could even do that.
That sh!t is broken
I know if I was playing this game with Max and he chose Kung Lao, I would be fucked since he knows how to do that unofficial combo
I always thought Baraka's Impale Fatality was really creepy. He just impales you and as you slide down, he looks into your eyes as you bleed out and die. Looking at it from that angle, it's simple, sure, but imagine his face being the last thing you ever see, dying in complete terror at that sinister grin. Sometimes simple is best.
Jesus.
Especially if you know what tarkatans are and do
What made Liu kangs flipping uppercut fatality interesting was the concept because he's a Shaolin monk and he doesn't kill (even though he eats you) it was probably a call back to mk1
Plus that was kind of the actor showing off, Ho-Sung Pak could just do that.
I remember the first time I saw the dragon fatality at the arcade. That shit blew my mind
Kung Lao pulling a rabbit out of his hat is hilarious. Honestly I wish Friendships would come back, they're hilarious.
I wouldn't mind seeing Friendships again, if MK9 can have Babalities then I don't see why not.
since now characters talk friendly to each other before each fight it would be funny if they did
like, scorpion and quan chi are enemies and it wouldnt make sense, but cassie and johnny are family and they would never hurt each other like that anyway (unless they are possessed by a blood god like in the comics lmao)
your wish came true
They did came back
Oz bowler these comments are so stupid. he knows
"I felt the air from that whiffed high five"
I'm ded
JC: "Yo Raiden, check this out!" *does Triple Uppercut Fatality*
Raiden: "Excellent, observe mine." *blows up entire body*
I want to see that man
7:17: FATALITY... MAX Wins.
7:15 I felt Steve soul left his body at that very moment he threw it on the ground
I hope he reacts to the fatalities in MK shaolin monks. I don't see many people cover that game
RetroAlchemist18 2000 I don’t even think max has ever played shaolin monks on the channel
@@ShenZxro I don't think he has either,but think he should. That game is a lot of fun and the fatalities in it are pretty good too
Exactly that's a least a top 5 mk game
Hell Kung Lao’s fatality from Shaolin monks was used in mk 9 and it’s still the most brutal thing I’ve seen
Meh. The game was ok for an MK spinoff (considering the others have been hilariously bad) but it's nothing to write home about.
gotta love fighting game players who else would call what happened a whiffed high five
Lots of people, actually, but that was a fucking brutal Fatality
When I was a little kid, I had an obscure Russian gaming magazine that had all the moves for MKII on the Genesis and finishing moves all had little commentaries. The Kitana one was "beats all your teeth out, then bakes you a cake with nuts". To this day that is literally the only thing I remember from there.
I remember in a magazine from that time it showed Baraka’s friendship and said something like, “This is for when the scars heal.”
“Why is it so childish, though?”
A MasterClass in missing the point
Now, they might have decided to put in friendships due to the outcries of the violence, but according to Daniel Pesina, the first Friendship came from the first Sonya actress, Elizabeth Malecki, whom didn't want to do anything violent. She asked John Tobias, "What if Sonya gave a flower instead of killing them?" They thought that was hilarious, and this ultimately led to the first Kiss of Death Fatality, but she inadvertently created the first Friendship before they even decided to put them in the second game.
I adore Friendships. I really miss it
Imagine them doing nowadays with amazing cutscenes.
hey!
Then I suppose you’ll be happy to know they’re back in 11
Why can’t we be friends why can’t we be friends
8:50 Liu Kang's pants turned blue during Shang Tsung's second fatality
Pants are lot less red without the soul apparently ah the memories never noticed that at all in the arcades
MK2 was my childhood, seeing all these fatalities brings a nostalgic smile to this middle aged man's heart.
Milenna had the best friendship btw. Randomly planting a flower and striking a pose after beating someone down is just hilarious.
14:49 "Here Jax, have a kid. Instead of killing you, I'm going to give you a large financial burden. Isn't that nice of me? You're gonna have to find a real job too, because competing in death tournaments won't set a good example for your new son."
Kids aren't financial burdens and Jax has a damn daughter lol
8:11 - *Thanos starts to sweat*
You know what, these animations aged pretty well.
Plus I would raise Baraka's fatality an 8/10 because I like to look at it as he wants to see you slowly impaled in agony.
One of the fun things was Shang Tsung had the ability to do any character's Fatalities, providing you had the time to transform during the Fatality time frame. A favorite of mine was a combination of Sub Zero/ Scorpion. Sub Zero's first half of deep freezing the opponent could reset the Fatality timer, so with Shang Tsung transformed to Sub Zero, I'd continue the first part until he transformed back. After that was the transformation to Scorpion and his torching Fatality for the equivalent of an implosion. And since the torch fatality had a version that could be anywhere on screen, you didn't have to worry about range afterward.
Good stuff.
That’s a favorite of mine to do. I have one guy on my friends list for PS3, and we still play the Arcade Kollection. We’d call that one toasty ice. lol I also would like to freeze them and do Kung Lao’s hat slice.
this intro is so sick. whoever did this is talented.
If Johnny’s first one is a 5, then his second is a 15. Five for each head
No one:
Maximilian after every fatality: *OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH*
No one asked.
@@whenyounutinhermouthandshe I asked
@@whenyounutinhermouthandshe No one asked you... 🙂
Can't wait for MK 11's Rate the Fatality!
I'm hyped!
Edit: Holy crap 271 Likes within 24 hours?! Oh god thanks everyone!
Edit2: 326 Likes?! Okay this is awesome thanks!
can't wait to see how max censored all the fatalities from mk11 because of youtube!*
@@otsu3011 He will proabably choose D'Vorah as victim for that video.
Johnny will get both 10
@Raven I LIIIVE for hype!
Dvorah already won the contest with hers.
Kung Lao had the best fatality (Splitting Headache) and the best friendship, which both involved the hat. That took skills.
I always loved the big ball of blood that would plop to the ground after decapitations, body rips. I thought it was so cool in the arcade.
Youre right brother. Especially the sound when they get their head cut off its like a rough "aaaaggghhh!"😂😂im 32 years old and always loved that shit.
The female blood curdling screams were awesome too. Great jobs by the voice actors/actresses.
I was a dumb kid that held down buttons when I didn't need to, but that led to discovering Shang Tsung's secret fatality after beating my older brother, followed immediately by the both of us freaking the fuck out. One of the best days of my childhood 😂 Also how I discovered the secret Acclaim intro (on the SNES version). Having this stuff happen to you before the internet took off was wild.
Oh yeah, where Kintaro would stomp on the logo. I remember that too. A bygone era for sure. Glad others are still around to remind people of that.
Back in the day, the fact that Shang Tsung had a third one totally blew my mind.
This stuff was crazy back in the day. There was no internet and the only way to know how to do them was through magazines or word of mouth. It was insane to see these. The sound and everything was cool in the arcades. These were more to the point too versus the long and over the top ones you see now. I think the brutalities are more similar to the classic fatalities. I will always appreciate all of these a bit more though as MKII is my favorite one in the series. MKELEVEN looks good though
I love that in Injustice 2 there was a Kid Thunder reference lol
Decades later and you can still see all the polish put into this game
That Baraka friendship is what taught me to love Mortal Kombat.
17:01 THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE. Have a LITTLE SOME MORE!!!!!
If you're not the Kung Lao player, and that happens, you turn around and walk away. You don't even show your frustration, disgust, or sadness, you just *leave.*
Thats a wall combo in 93!
@@kildaver shake that person's hand and leave. Hold the L
zhaoyun255 have a little some more.
Grammar -_-
@@gamingdemon12
PHIL HAS GONE TOO FAR, he SNIFFS TOO MUCH FLEX GLUE, and now, all he is seeing is MARTIANS!!!!
Max when are you doing Rate the Rage Arts for tekken 7??? I've been waiting long time lol
Thats what im waiting on too lol
Almost all of them look the same way.
I love Tekken 7 and I'll tell you that most of the Rage Arts are "meh" at best. Plus Max really doesn't care about Tekken.
Most of the rage arts aren't actually that good.
it's all about the rage drives for combos
Kind of surprised they never rated the Babalities for MK 9. They were very unique and funny.
Everyone talking at the same time, this is more chaotic than a 20 people reunion
hahaha the noise Steeb makes when he tries the high five LOL
14:27 It's all about that Liu Kang friendship! 10/10 🤣
7:17 Max performed a fatality on Steve's heart.
11:11
“I mean what are they going to do, give him metal arms on them afterwards?”
Killed me.
Hello therw
There
I can't spell
Kitana's friendship was giving her opponent "a piece of her cake"
Liu Kang would’ve loved that.
Shang Tsung: IMAGINAAAATION!!!
13:27 This gave me an idea of making a kitana plushie.
Honestly, am I the only one who wants to see a Mashup fighting game in the style of Max's intro? That shit would be siiiiick!
That’s a really impressive trick Dood did with Kung Lao
All of these rate the fatality videos are just Maximilian saying "It was gonna be a (Low number) then, (Fatality actually finished) and now its a (High number)"
Scorpion's MK2 Toasty Fatality is my favorite version of that fatality. The screaming really sells it and the explosion was a fantastic finish.
Mortal Kombat II featured some of the best fatalities ever. The element of surprise was gone so Midway had to step up their game, and they delivered. 👍
The element of surprise has never left MK. Look at the new D'Vorah and both Cage fatalities. Those were entirely unexpected.
Kazuya dude......he’s LITERALLY talking about when MK2 “came out.” Read the comment man
@@CeeWorld69 I know, and I'm saying the element of surprise was never gone and still isn't. I remember MK2 launch very well.
Wait. Now that I think about it. If you had to manually lift Kung Lao’s hat to get the fatality. He was the one who inspired the brutalities in modern MK
5:55 The bus driver uppercut lol
YOU GOIN TO JAIL NOW
8:12 is a big spoiler for how the final fight against Thanos in Endgame will turn out.
Joker: do you keep a rabbit in your hat?
Kung Lao: Only my friends know for sure.
I love this
I swear you have one of the best intros on youtube
That Kung Lao Kombo was insane.
7:16 Kenny expressing how we feeling in that moment
I like how they edited out the many attempts of the Kung Lao slice in half fatals.
3:44 if he puts his trophy there, it'll be a literal stand for his trophy.
GET IT?!
Since the legs are still standing!!!
See ya'll next week!
Nobody :
Max's intro : LETS GOOOOOOOOO
I can't stomach too much gore, but out of morbid curiosity I wanted to see some fatalities, but only the old ones are not realistic enough for me. So I appreciate the rate the finishers on the older games! ^^
Late I know but I think we need to come up with a way to be able to view the newer fatalities in this graphical format so people who have trouble watching gore can enjoy the newer fatalities without the gory bits.
@@rinmorinai while that would be nice, sometimes you just gotta accept that you won't be able to experience everything. That's ok, there's plenty of other fun stuff to see
14:14
"I'd frame that."
-Johnny Cage, 1993
Shang Tsungs Kintaro fatality is an 11/10.
I love how the immediate reaction to the "Toasty" was to try to Toasty Boost. 11:25
Congratulations on 1 million subscribers!
I swear you have the best intro on TH-cam
Max's face at 17:05 is priceless
I couldn't figure out what i was doing when Raiden would trigger the fatality sound and darkened screen but not actually pull it off. My brother and I never figured it out. Can't wait to tell him
5:42 *ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH!!!*
Honestly, it was the fact that Max didn't look at him to dodge the high five that was amazing.
All these years of playing fight games, Max learned Ultra Instinct .
I know I’m super late but Max needs to play MK2+, it’s a mod to the OG game. Restored sprites and animations lost in code and prototypes, 2 on 2, endurance matches (since it was lost from MK1), Shao Khan has his victory knee,…other add ons to add to the OG game. The modders were very meticulous, and consulted various official resources.
Oh man I have been hoping they would do this! Cant wait for the rest of the legacy videos!
4:45 out of all the stages they do reptile's tasty meal fatality, they do it on the only one that has a glitch when performed. perfect
Liu Kang's Dragon fatality is ALWAYS an automatic 10/10.
I can never get enough of Max dunking on Steve.
Everytime I watch max I go and play a fighting game deadass
Best intro on TH-cam
The highfive tension in this video *kils* me.
Ah friendship friendship again? 🤣
Can you do a rate the super for Skullgirls?
Sadly Max doesn't like Skullgirls afaik. A shame, that game is beautiful
@@andrecarvalho6691 pretty sure he does like it... he did a handful of videos on them.
He liked the game,just hated the art style
Am I the only one that thinks baraka is more scary here than in recent games
Man as a kid Shang Tsung's soul steal always scared me the most.
I think they should've switched Jax and Baraka's Friendships. It makes more sense for Baraka to make paper dolls and you could put a jack in the box for Jax's Friendship to make a Jax in the box joke.
14:52 "Don't talk to me or my son ever again"
That whiffed high-five was COLD, Max... I'm sorry.
17:01 we need more of this.
I feel like this series is like the slam dunk contest of the NBA all star game except this is with fighting games.
Maximilian dood haves the best fatality in the game. Have you seen that hand action?!
i like the one drop of blood when you do fatality in this game and i like how blood drop from fatality letters and stays on the ground on some consoles blood doesnt stay on ground
The Johnny Cage friendship is amazing
15:16 🤣🤣🤣 G’s taunt “Shake hands with the President”
Nothing beats the Shang Tsung turn to Sub Zero, freeze then wait to turn back to Shang Tsung, become Scorpion and then burn them.
Best. Fatality. Ever!!!
You know what would be cool? A fatality where Raiden winds up his uppercut, then does it, and the punch goes through his stomach, and continues going up until the head, ripping the ribcage and heart while charging the electricity to blow the head up and burn the rest of the body. If there is a MK12 you have to give the creator this idea, please!
Top notch video guys :-D. Brings back so many memories.
Jax's Head Clap and Arm Rip is an combination and both was used in his Smash and Grab Fatality
at 7:18 max literally reacted to Steve's shoulder movement immediately......Max reaction dps must always be on point
god damn i miss that announcer hands down the best announcer in MK.
It’s stupid how there’s no option to pick Shao Kahn as the narrator in mk11 :/
You can’t even use Shang Tsung
