I always considered this MK as most hilarious one cause you just cant not laugh when listening to some voices and animations (especially for throws, i had scorpion voice line for years in my head).
Always thought this was the most underrated of the series. I actually thought the gameplay was alot better in this one compared to the previous ones. The A.I. wasn't as annoying, and the use of weapons was cool.
Ok kids U can blame 3 things for these graphics : 1.) Boon trying to compete with the look of Tekken (which took off at that time) 2.) PlayStation & 3.) It was the late 90's.
I always felt MK4 was lackluster compared to original side 2D style of MK1-MK3 and in the terms of the story and characters, but I absolutely played the shit out of it as a kid on PS1 when it first released.
Whoever says this game sucked is stupid, because: A)It was the last MK on Arcades B)For the time, the graphics were bleeding edge C)It was their 1st 3D attempt. Give them a break. D)If not for MK4 you wouldn’t have the next games and many cool characters such as Shinnok, Tanya, etc which were first introduced in MK4.
Old answer but, for their first attempt at 3D, I'd say it was a success, the game in itself isn't bad at all, not perfect, but they were moving into the right direction here, the only thing I kinda disliked here was the weapons, not the idea, but the implementation, once drawn, you couldn't combo anymore, so it basically slowed you down, for me, it was a combo finisher and them a projectile right after that...
I like how the first couple opponents go down in seconds and then here comes Sub Zero pullin out his Ice Mace and branchin combos 😂 Ice clones and everything it looked like player 2 hit start button for second there! Nice video MK 4 is definitely in my top 3 MK games! Love this gem
@@bigsmoke5884lmao right my cousin was a 90s kid and we would play his ps2 all the time and he even gave me his ps1 making it my first console i ever owned.
I remember this game from Playstation 1 i've been played when I was 13 years old. For the first time I've been a heart attack splashing the blood in the screen happen in Fatality.
this is the most complex mortal kombat. it is fast and if mastered you can have a sensation that you are playing chess. too bad that there is not an online version of this.
Is it just me or do the graphics look shittier in this compared to mk3, I know its like more 3d but looks terrible. It looked badass when it first came out lol.
Yes, this game looks awful. It's not just you. I got this game after getting trilogy and being hooked on that for a while back in the day and I never played 4 so i was like damn this game must be sick, then i got this and was like, what the fuck did they do to my favorite series
After all these years I had no idea you could spin the Master fight opponent line up and in order to master the finishing moves you had to have bought the code book and even then the controller pattern to do it was next level
Kai was awesome. And I actually wouldn’t mind seeing Reiko return in the new rebooted MK series to see what they could do with him. Jarek I don’t care about though. But seriously, Kai is bad ass. I can imagine Kai in a modern game. He’d probably do capoeira with some shaolin kung fu mixed in or something.
Can you imagine what if... If Liu Kang was by Kitana's side as King of Edenia, they'd be unstoppable and have little children running around lol... Definitely would've had a family of their own much like JC and Sonya. Liu Kang messed it up with her every time no matter the timeline.
I believed the sidestep button (borrowed from Virtua Fighter 3) was used to primarily evade projectiles. I found it useless in actual gameplay, the pace was to hectic for its usage.
Compared to the other Mortal Kombats, the graphics in this version was just horrible. I played it quite a bit in my teens (it was one of the first PS1 games I had). But reflecting back, it appears Midway rushed it to production.
I love playing MK 4 as a child :) good times
me too we have the same childhood :)
And I still love playing it today
The childhood is all ours.
Mk3 is goated
I always considered this MK as most hilarious one cause you just cant not laugh when listening to some voices and animations (especially for throws, i had scorpion voice line for years in my head).
_I'm gonna throw over there!_
Hanzo Hazashi, 1997.
Raiden and reptile were the funniest ones
Ah mommie reptile
Liu kang WAOHH
WAH NA NIN YA!
After all this years, Liu Kang's voice is still epic. :D
Those gibberish kiais are mad
@@TheSuperPlayer707 haha
You know the damage on the bicycle kick got toned down over the years. Shit was so strong in mk
MK3 was insane as you can follow up a combo after a bicycle kick and do like 40 % damage
Always thought this was the most underrated of the series. I actually thought the gameplay was alot better in this one compared to the previous ones. The A.I. wasn't as annoying, and the use of weapons was cool.
Agreed! The weapons addition was outside the box and extremely ahead of its time.
you imagine if Liu Kang did stay with Kitana in Edenia, he would've never died in Deadly Alliance
+Steventhe2nd AND he would be getting that Princess Puzzay!
drsc now....
+drsc It can then be deducted that Liu Kang loves his Earth Realm Hot Dogs more than Nether Realm Puzzay.... *Sigh* Regrettable..
th-cam.com/video/o1g7OA_VrvI/w-d-xo.html mk4 no hit android😎👍
I think that in Kitana's ending in MKDA says that she wished that Liu Kang joined her years ago.
I really love it how they make some fatalities gory but funny as well in the first 4 MK games (counting 3,Ultimate, and Trilogy as one)
Ok kids U can blame 3 things for these graphics : 1.) Boon trying to compete with the look of Tekken (which took off at that time) 2.) PlayStation & 3.) It was the late 90's.
I was randomly reading comments, but I was immediately thinking the same thing, these graphics are sub-par and the entire look has zero appeal.
20 years old wow time flies
It's 27 years now😢
I remember playing the shit out of this game. using weapons in this game is amazingly satisfying
That Liu Kang's ending is just pure gold. Renegade Shaolin indeed; it seems he doesn't have mercy on Kitana
Liu Kang is Hero of Mortal Kombat series. I love him when I was kid. He my favorite.
No wonder the deadly alliance went after him 😂 og liu Kang was a beast so many flawless victories
I always felt MK4 was lackluster compared to original side 2D style of MK1-MK3 and in the terms of the story and characters, but I absolutely played the shit out of it as a kid on PS1 when it first released.
I thought it was bad ass at the time, but now I think it's comedic
@hitek9wittafulclip actually umk3 was better
@hitek9wittafulclip what's unbalanced about it? You mistake it for mk trilogy because umk3 on the arcade is wayyyy better than mk4
@hitek9wittafulclip name one move you spam in umk3
@@malevolenceXXXensues its entertaining
Shinnok's menace is over
You are the supreme
Champion of
Mortal Kombat
Graphics weren't even a relevant argument back when this came out lol. It was in the 64 gen, everything looked stupid back then.
Mk 4 has my favorite Liu kang fatalities
The Dragon and the Kick in the Air and Explode?
Anime Freak i like both but i have to say flying fire
King cheetah That is a good Fatality :P
My favorite was when he threw the opponent towards the camera.
Goro probably thought he was gonna have a normal day before Lui Kang started going Legend of Zelda on him.
Farcelit Hey check this video out th-cam.com/video/JwncAQurlqk/w-d-xo.html
The quality of this video is excellent!
Ahhhh the memoires. I loved Quan Chi
He was not only the character of the game, he was THE character. His fatality of the leg it was the best of the whole game and absurdly hilarious.
Man, this game was so nostalgic...
Mortal Kombat 4... Classic Game!
*Klassic
it really is
This is like the fourth installment of the Mortal Kombat series.
I always thought it was funny that just Shinnok's face explodes when beaten.
Special Moves:
Bicycle Kick
Flying Dragon Kick
Dragon Fire
Fatalities:
Dragon's Bite
Fire Shot

I like 4's appearance and presentation way more than 5 through 9. X and 11 make up for all of those, big time.
@@adownbeatexegete1549 X certainly, but 11 I really dislike.
@Farcelit Very good... But brick, not hit back!
@Farcelit Watch the movie Bloodsport. Then you can understand..
I got smacked with waves of nostalgia.... What wouldn't I give to return to my childhood

Liu Kang speaking a foreign language wen he throws his opponent n shoots the fireball during his fatality 😂😂😂
8:43 It sounded like, “Goddamn! My leg!!!”

Liu kang is my favorite character and champion and he's the main character and a Dragon
He was main character for 4 games in a row 7 game later main character

The absolute funniest MK game

MrGatsu1998 funniest liu kang screams I've ever heard
XDDDDDDDD

He meant that This is what he does.
I could've sworn he said, "You can't tell me what to download! This is what I do!"
2000s kids would never know nothing about this 😅
You sure about that cause i sure played this as a kid and im a 2000s kid

Born In 2000 And Had This On N64
MK1-4, it can make a Liu Kang collection......
My favorite MK
I was expecting a dragon for Liu Kang's fatality lol
Oh he has that fatality as well haha
There is a Dragon.
Damn, the way he shreds Goro like that.
wow this game was sure a... klassic
ratchetguy 606 i zee wot ya did there xD
Add more..........dots
i believe the sound he made with the bicycle kick was *clears throat* waaawadublewudublewaaaa
I remember these graphics being so awesome 👏🏼 😆
Cuando MK tenía toques de terror, que recuerdos...
I always considered this MK the most weird looking and funny everything about seemed funky😂
men this brings me good memories mortal kombat
Nostalgia pura ❤❤😍
vdd esse jogo é top
what a huge leap from mk3
Liu Kang defended as the champion of Mortal Kombat. And protected Edenia.
(If I’m not mistaken?)
what is what Liu kang yells when he does the bicycle attack? xD.
I remember this game from Playstation 1 i've been played when I was 13 years old.
For the first time I've been a heart attack splashing the blood in the screen happen in Fatality.
when Liu kang got his head twisted by Sonya that throw, he said " oh, you little... beep
:D omg this is so nostalgic to watch :D
Hello dr thrax
This game made me so happy! :D
Me resulta gracioso como los personajes hacen un respetuoso saludo al principio del combate, para terminar destripandose.
i think they should have waited for ps2 for 3d.but in the late 90s, its was a rule that every 2d video game had to try 3d.
3:22 toasty!
Mortal Kombat has gone a long way since it’s first animated game
I mean, JUST LOOK AT THOSE MK11 GRAPHICS ON PS4
I love those punch sounds Idk why I just do. and the sound effects on this game
Sonya
Scorpion
Sub-zero
Cage
Jakek
Jax
Tanya
Goro
Shinnok
Liu sure can kick it!
so funny mk4...
thanks!
Man, he REALLY didn't want to deal with Goro's shit.
this is the most complex mortal kombat. it is fast and if mastered you can have a sensation that you are playing chess. too bad that there is not an online version of this.
It can be streamed trust me
Didn't Liu Kang win the first four MK games?
+Ghowz he's asking if Liu kang won all four of the MK games He's not TALKING ABOUT GORO he's saying is Liu kang's victories in MK1-4 are true!!
The Programmer Thank you, Programmer.
indeed he does
D.S. Park I thought that Taven won Armageddon..
@@JackoMoonwalker Nope, Shao Kahn was the winner, and Taven was dead.
14:23 but I thought you were gonna lick... LMFAOOO

Mike M I love Ultimate MK and MK4. The best on the series!
u did good job on this bro
I used to play this game shitless on my nintendo 64
Well played!
That stereo sound effects and music 🎶🎶
Ah the noise of the bicycle kick is like music to my ears
Next play as sub-zero.
What version is this? I had a PC-version, but the sound effects are very different here.
I miss this game good old days still wasn't the best in the series though but my favourite would have to be umk3 nice vid
That's not the Arcade Port cause if it was, Quan Chi would have been the Sub Boss.
Lol Liu Kangs sword is so OP are all weapons in this game unblockable
Liu Kang. Midway siempre lo puso como el Ryu de la saga MK, pero los fans de la misma siempre prefirieron a Sub-Zero y a Scorpion.
Flawless Victory nice!
After all these years I had no idea you could spin the Master fight opponent line up and in order to master the finishing moves you had to have bought the code book and even then the controller pattern to do it was next level
Jarek and Kai come close to being the lamest characters added to the mk universe
kai was hard what ur talking about it was reiko amd jarek
Kai was awesome. And I actually wouldn’t mind seeing Reiko return in the new rebooted MK series to see what they could do with him. Jarek I don’t care about though. But seriously, Kai is bad ass. I can imagine Kai in a modern game. He’d probably do capoeira with some shaolin kung fu mixed in or something.
Don't hurt my leg at 8:44 is the most MK thing ever!
Mk4 was my fav game growing up.
Lui Kang be like legs for days
9:51 How the heck did he miss him??
No one:
Liu Kang: SHUPADODOEOWIAAOW WOOOH
4:33 "You can't tell me what to download! This is what I do!"
Sounds a little different from the last time I heard it.
those combos though
It was my first game for PC ... memories (Win ME). Worst playability and operative system EVER
Liu kang doesn’t care whether the other person is bigger than them or the same size he will still win him no matter what
Can you imagine what if... If Liu Kang was by Kitana's side as King of Edenia, they'd be unstoppable and have little children running around lol... Definitely would've had a family of their own much like JC and Sonya. Liu Kang messed it up with her every time no matter the timeline.

This is Way better than the ASMR Mortal Kombat nowadays Smh
Awesome. Especially with Goro.
Integrity check, did you put it on Master 2 ladder but not Master 2 difficulty lol?
I remember doing fatalities on people at six flags lol felt great to be superb
pro how you doing all this combo
Seru banget game ini
Looks a LOT better than n64 version
Compared to the other Mortal Kombats, the graphics in this version was just horrible. I played it quite a bit in my teens (it was one of the first PS1 games I had). But reflecting back, it appears Midway rushed it to production.
The graphics on the arcade version where more crisp yet fluid on the sprites but the endings werent as clean as ps1 or dreamcast
mortal kombat 4 gold for dreamcast had the best graphics
N64, PSX, or Arcade version?
