Talking and playing is tough, explaining what you’re doing while playing is brutal haha. You’d think it would be easier than talking about something random but it’s just not. I think I learned something here. I knew about the jump back strategy but I’ve been doing it mostly wrong. I am in the camp of “it’s just not fun to play that way” but if I can mix up my cheese moves I might enjoy it more. Great work at always!
Thanks my friend, and that’s what I think also when people say it’s a boring way to play, I don’t think it’s boring I LOVE crushing the computer, because the computer took all my money when I was younger lol now it’s so satisfying every time I beat it. And I’ll never get sick of that. Thanks for the comments bro 👊🏼
Love these videos - it's what drew my curiosity to your channel and then found all the entertainment and humour within! But not just fluffy entertainment, proper content for those interested in the game, mechanics and characters of MK. It's what you do best really, so keep it up with new perspectives, hints, commentary and comedy! WELL DONE, SHANG FUN! 👊
Thanks bro I really enjoy making these videos. I wish I loved the other MK’s as much, I mean for content purposes lol but MK2 is really my favourite of all time. I can’t stop playing it lol
@@BushyStallion But like you say, there are different mechanics to playing as Liu Lang or Kitana, so new videos right there. And just going through what works for each character is entertaining, things you notice, new things to try, what NOT to do - a simple game but with each fight never being the same, there is a lot you can do still to entertain us and get enjoyment! Bring it on! 😃
I'm definitely an average player, even back in the days I always got my ass whooped by the other kids at the arcade and lose all my quarters. I've always loved the this game. I started playing it again in 2019 when Arcade 1up came out with it. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Videos like this make me want to get the MK arcade cabinet for mk3 ultimate. As a kid, I worked my up to over 75 consecutive wins with a quarter. Learned the AI habits and still remember them to this day. Thank you for the content.
You kind of do it a very straight way. For me, the way I win a lot is just being unpredictable with my moves, and being aggressive when the opponent is open. For example there's this one thing I've done sometimes, especially on kitana and baraka, where when they shoot a projectile, I jump over it and duck right next to them, then when they throw it again I go for the uppercut, which will always work once you get to that point even on the toughest difficulty. Some other stuff, with johnny's ball buster and subzero's slide, you can sometimes use these moves when the ai is pounding you with punches instead of blocking so that way you don't get stuck. The ball buster I also use sometimes because it's harder for the ai to anticipate it. Subzero's slide I use after every jump kick and uppercut to get extra damage. Raiden's superman I've had success with when doing it at weird heights, sometimes the ai counters with an immediate fireball but sometimes it doesn't. Shao Kahn, when I go against him, always seems pretty easy if you just block his charges, and he is also very easy to combo. For example one time with subzero I kept spamming the roundhouse kick on him when he got stuck in the corner and he couldn't do anything about it. I would say the easiest character for me is baraka, cause I can just do the chop chop when things get dicey.
I always did the jump back and kitana is one of the hardest characters to beat but thanks to you man I could beat the game like nothing back in my childhood I could not beat the game now I feel like a pro 😂❤
It’s great especially when using Scorpion and Subzero. With Scorpion it sets them up for HP HP teleport, harpoon, uppercut, before they even touch the ground.
Crazy to me how u just casually stroll through this game like it’s nothing. The ai use to make me wanna break my controller in half by the 5th match🤬! Very informative vid bro
I guess it’s the same feeling when I used to watch my son play fortnight and he’d move at ridiculous speeds, and his hands were in a claw shape around his controller, it was easy to him, I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me
@@BushyStallion I’m plugging in my sega this weekend and I’m gonna use this video as a guide and see if I can beat the game without dying lol. It would be a first for me
There is a in depth how to video also out there on how to beat mk 2 with no jump back. I am not ready to try it. . It’s basically ducking and high kicks. I believe mortal Jason posted it.
When i hit the live button, the game continues in the background but when I see Darryl hit the live button, it actually pauses it, what am I doing wrong?
If you are in an online game or in someone else’s game online (whether they are playing or not) then the game will continue in the background. If you are playing single player, or offline then the live button will pause the game.
Random question, did you do anything extra to stabilize your cabinet? I see vids of these cabs shaking or wobbling with someone playing. Yours never does
I do find cage easiest with the jump back move but I duck and jump back at the latest moment as shown here. Often they'll try throw a couple of high punches Kintaro I find ridiculously hard even with your original video Have a nice day!
Oh my goodness! I’m losing it over here after you said “honey marmalade.” I can’t stop hearing it when Raiden does that move now! 🤣

Your videos never get boring man!
Lol thanks
Damn you Darryl, I'm 42 and not played MK in 20 years, you've just got me back into it, had to go get the MK collection for the ps3
Enjoy the games my friend, 20 years is no biggie you’ll get right back into it 👊🏼
I read the title in the same voice as "Friendship....Friendship, again?"
Mission accomplished 👊🏼
Nobody talk’s enough about the fact that Mileena and Kitana counter every uppercut with a *German suplex.*
This is true lol
They take me straight to Suplex city.
I'm definitely an average player, even back in the days I always got my ass whooped by the other kids at the arcade and lose all my quarters. I've always loved the this game. I started playing it again in 2019 when Arcade 1up came out with it. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Average players unite! Gotta crawl before you can walk right? Hope you’re crushing it now 👊🏼
The feeling of finally being able to kick this game’s ass is worth it. Almost therapeutic in a way lol.
Having an in-game character reference his own game as if he made it himself is probably a huge key to MK's early success.
Nice educational video man! I think the pausing and explaining will help a lot of peeps that struggle! Great work! 👍
Thanks MEL 👊🏼

Thanks for the comment my friend 👊🏼
And the only way to get good with these or any other methods is to keep playing and practicing until you get it!
Time to boot up that arcade 1up and get my ass kicked but with new motivation. 😂
Let’s do this 👊🏼
I’m right there with you😆
MVG channel has made a video about how this game's AI cheats on you, quite literally.
Thanks! Will give it a try - again :P this game plays so much differently against the computer cmpared to 1v1...! Great video!
I always did the jump back and kitana is one of the hardest characters to beat but thanks to you man I could beat the game like nothing back in my childhood I could not beat the game now I feel like a pro 😂❤
Good job my friend 👊🏼
Cool. Thanks for this bro.😊 Mk4was always my favorite in the arcade. The ai was waaaay more forgiving.
No problem.. and yeah I found MK4 pretty easy also, a lot of running in and 3 hit combos to end matches quickly 👊🏼
Never knew about the jump kick backwards to delay ai. Will have to play w/ that. Maybe I can use cage now aswell.
It’s great especially when using Scorpion and Subzero. With Scorpion it sets them up for HP HP teleport, harpoon, uppercut, before they even touch the ground.
Thanks! I look forward to the how to video on the Raiden method to beat the game!

Nope, @michaelloehman7939 posted it, and he challenged me to do it also and I failed lol it was a quick video for me lol
I can't stop watching this!!!in fact i gotta see if i remember this correctly at some point😂😂😂!!!
Lol thanks dude. I appreciate it. 👊🏼
Good stuff I'm bout to try this out
Good luck 🤞
Request For Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Fight The Computer. My Favorite One 👍🏾

yea i watched ur video on beating the ai in mk2 and i subbed immediately lol
Thanks 🙏🏽
Sweet, I'll try this technique at my local barcade.
What is the best way to beat the Root Beer Tapper’s AI?
No idea lol
Good stuff like always
Thank you 👊🏼
Kitana always destroyed me with the fans I remember I just went and played umk3 since I got fed up hahahaha
Random question, did you do anything extra to stabilize your cabinet? I see vids of these cabs shaking or wobbling with someone playing. Yours never does
I have them all side by side tight against each other that might be why, but I haven’t done anything extra to stabilize
The easiest way is to play it very hard
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why is it the best MK from this era is also the worst one to play alone?
Just depends on how you look at it. I love playing single player and multiplayer
I do find cage easiest with the jump back move but I duck and jump back at the latest moment as shown here. Often they'll try throw a couple of high punches
Kintaro I find ridiculously hard even with your original video
Have a nice day!
Thanks for the comment bro.. with Kintaro it’s just a timing thing and knowing his patterns
Mortal Kombat 1 HAS been out .
