The reason why Liu Kang's fatality in MK1 is like that is because they wanted Liu Kang to be a pacifistic monk but fans complained about it and they eventually gave in
I think it would have been an interesting angle to explore. I think that’s also why he has the dragon and the arcade cabinet It’s not him killing the guy, it’s the dragon! The arcade machine just HAPPENED to fall on him!
I used to love doing what I called the “fire and ice” fatality with Shang Tsung. Morph into Sub-Zero and do the infinite freeze several times to prevent the match from ending, then at just the right moment, morph into Scorpion right after changing back and TOASTY! 🔥
Baraka's fatalities are lit IMO. The first one is simple enough, right to the point, looks cool. The second one...think about it in context. You're being lifted off the ground, impaled through the chest on blades, and sliding down toward a terrifying monster person just staring into the pit of your soul. And this is classic Baraka, closer to the ravenous warlord we see in MK11 than the good version of him we see in 1.
If i remember correctly, since the pit fatality can be done with a simple uppercut, Lu Kang can do his fatality on that stage and it will trigger the pit fatality at the same time.
Clearly I fucked it up again on purpose for the engagement in the comments 😂 No but actually we recorded 1, 2 and Trilogy back to back so I didn't get the flood of comments about it in trilogy until this was already recorded
@@tgtkai Hehe... by the way, I saw the MK3 series video (AKA: MK Trilogy) and I had to mention the very few differences on the finishers between Ps1/Saturn/PC version vs N64 that you may want to keep in mind.
I still find it so funny that MK1 (the original mk 1) was the cause of a moral panic and caused the creation of the ESRB when compared to today when it can comfortably show some of the most violent shit seen by mankind
MK1's out, content's coming. But for now let's finish up the fatalities for the classic games! Edit: Also for those asking. Yes I know about Raiden's fatality now, but nothing online told me that before and I couldn't figure out what we were doing wrong in the moment. It would def get bumped up. AND we recorded this and trilogy back to back so i didnt see the comments til this was already recorded & uploaded As for why we used the SNES version for MK2... Nostalgia and ease of access. INSANE to me these games have no modern ports. But MK1 looked so awful on the og genesis version I did make an exception and do arcade for that one.
MK2 ports just don't carry the same weight as the arcade version. The sound design especially, it sounds so menacing on arcade, the fatality jingle and the impact sounds are unrivalled. Sounds awful on this and they lose a lot of what made them good in my opinion
The sound was absolutely the worst part of this, I had to actually muffle in post it was so bad. Still enjoyed em either way but i do wish we did arcade for both ngl
@@tgtkaimy ear buds have crazy bass for whatever reason and it took the game music as the bass so it was pure punching the microphone noise for some parts
I really wish they would bring back the old announcers from mk2/mk3. For me it gave those older games a different vibe that the newer games lack P.S - any one know why raiden was spelled “rayden” in mk2? Lol
For Raiden’s fatality, the one where you point out he’s tickling, you need to constantly press HP and LP. As for Kung Lao when he throws the hat you have to aim it for the neck in order to work
Why dunk on Baraka's fatality for being the same when this is the first game he's introduced? I understand dunking on it in the later games for that reason but LOL
I like to think that Liu Kang's fatality in mk1 was him uppercutting his enemy so hard that it breaks their neck. Thats what i tell myself to sleep at night.
i am the first one in here. you have good videos keep it up man and im happy to see you post a video today. its my biethday and i got the new mk1 premium pre-order and i am glad to see your video.
Because the snes version of mk1 is censored they have different fatalities in that game, itd be cool to see you guys react to those as well then one of the Genesis mk games also had a ferg ality
Yep, there also was censored fatalities in the Genesis version of MK1 if you didn't input the blood code. I recall MK2 on Game Boy also gave Lui Kang a slightly different fatality where he uses fire breath in his dragon form.
In the moment it was easier since there's no easily available version of MK2. 1 was just so awful looking on genesis we had to emulate arcade for that one
I agree a lot with this list but I would have ranked Baraka in the B section. At the time they a lot more overwhelming. This game might not be as fresh to their minds
One thing I don't like about fatalities in the original MK is that those of Johnny, Sub Zero and Kano aren't original and could be done by every other character...
Im not the only who was annoyed he didnt keep tapping the button during the raiden electrocution fatality and have the audacity to say it sucked...right?

the most in-character fatality in the series, unironically top-tier.
@@TwinWulfies "B-b-b-b-b-b-b-but what about MY VIOLENCE!!1!!!!1!?/????? I DON"T CARE ABOUT CHARACTERS!!11!! I ONLY CARE ABOUT THE GORE!!!"

@@HellNutcase yyyyyyyyup. can't be good if it didn't give the staff PTSD.
What's cool is you can use this fatality to also get the pit fatality

Could you demonstrate
The sub zero spine rip helped create the esrb rating system

1:21 It wasn't until I watched The4thSnake's video on this fatality that I realized that it is criminally misunderstood.
Raiden's fatality in MK2... you really didn't fully do the fatality (you have to keep pushing low kick and block buttons until victim goes BOOOM!!!!)
Came to say that but you beat me to it
Clearly I fucked it up again on purpose for the engagement in the comments 😂
No but actually we recorded 1, 2 and Trilogy back to back so I didn't get the flood of comments about it in trilogy until this was already recorded

You have to keep tapping with Raiden’s first fatality until the opponent explodes
At this point I just think they fuck the fatalities up on purpose to get more comments on the video
Lui kangs fatality works when you are in the pit now that is considered a fatality
I still find it so funny that MK1 (the original mk 1) was the cause of a moral panic and caused the creation of the ESRB when compared to today when it can comfortably show some of the most violent shit seen by mankind

ur the goat
"Kontent"
Press hp lp I believe is what is needed
Again you did Raiden's Fatality wrong. You have to mash the buttons until they blow up.
Yes im hyped for All fatalities

Been binge-watching your mk vids lately, they're fun
-"we've seen this a million times"
-It's literally the first time these have ever EXISTED
We went in reverse order like freaks im sorry!
Love your vids man big MK Fan Can’t Wait For The MK1 Rank
I love the Sub-Zero snowball fatality it's so basic but yet make sense
I really wish they would bring back the old announcers from mk2/mk3. For me it gave those older games a different vibe that the newer games lack
P.S - any one know why raiden was spelled “rayden” in mk2? Lol
For Raiden’s fatality, the one where you point out he’s tickling, you need to constantly press HP and LP.
As for Kung Lao when he throws the hat you have to aim it for the neck in order to work
7:20 during this fatality you needed to button mash to keep electrifying him until he explodes
Waiting for that MK Armageddon fatality tier list video 😈
Why dunk on Baraka's fatality for being the same when this is the first game he's introduced? I understand dunking on it in the later games for that reason but LOL
I like to think that Liu Kang's fatality in mk1 was him uppercutting his enemy so hard that it breaks their neck.
Thats what i tell myself to sleep at night.
I remember in liu kang's dancing, the song was playing "numa numa" the jax scared and ran
great video, just a bit of a shame that mk2 was the console version rather than the arcade but still top class!
i am the first one in here. you have good videos keep it up man and im happy to see you post a video today. its my biethday and i got the new mk1 premium pre-order and i am glad to see your video.
Happy Birthday! Enjoy the new game!!
@@joeycola2257 thank you :)
Lui kang rival face is litle burning
Sub Zero technically has a hidden third fatality. Hit them with the deep freeze then jump back to full screen and snowball grenade.
Sweet diner
bro messed up raidens mk2 fatality ur supposed to to spam the buttons
They did the same thing on the Trilogy video so I'm surprised they didn't look it up for this one.
I’m 90 percent sure Raidens tickle fatality in mk2 can make the enemy explode. I think you have to keep hitting the button or something
Because the snes version of mk1 is censored they have different fatalities in that game, itd be cool to see you guys react to those as well then one of the Genesis mk games also had a ferg ality

The raiden electrocution in arcade is more gruesome
Deathmule uploaded all of the MK1 (2023) fatalities!
Kitana kisses her opponent and they turn into Lizzo before exploding, the sprite size is perfect!
How does Johnny Cage get an A for a decapitation but Raiden gets a C for the cooler decapitation?
Liu Kang's fatality is actually one of the best, it actually adds something to his character
Why kunglao on the list looks like Red harlow from Red dead Revolver ?
was that the snes version of mk2? why?
Using the SNES port of MKII made the 7 year old me sooo happy.
why are you guys using the snes version of MKII.. why not Arcade
In the moment it was easier since there's no easily available version of MK2. 1 was just so awful looking on genesis we had to emulate arcade for that one
Riebowe frieship
I love your vids really amazing can you make ranking street fighter moves tekken and injustice too?
Its all MK hype right now, but definitely in the future!
Now you must rank Al special moves in injustice 1 and 2
Love these vids bro
Real
how to make liu kangs worst fatality better:
add a falling arcade machine after the hit
Love these videos.
kombatants then : 500 ml of blood
kombatants now : 500 L of blood
I agree a lot with this list but I would have ranked Baraka in the B section. At the time they a lot more overwhelming. This game might not be as fresh to their minds
Lui kang is spiretuel kung fu no bloddy fatality
Great Video!
Great video! Just a stupid question. Why rate these from the SNES version of MK2? Either way, awesome 😂
Genuinely, nostalgia & ease of access. The audio horror REALLY made me regret that decision though tbh
Mash buttons on Raiden’s fatality.
Three head fatality
One thing I don't like about fatalities in the original MK is that those of Johnny, Sub Zero and Kano aren't original and could be done by every other character...
Im not the only who was annoyed he didnt keep tapping the button during the raiden electrocution fatality and have the audacity to say it sucked...right?
Old mk1
What MK2 port are you guys playing?
SNES and I regret everything after dealing with that audio
@@tgtkai you have my sympathies
Why is your homie such a yesssss mannnnn!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 im just saying 😂😂😂
In every video
Why the snes version 😭😭
The one fatality you can survive is lui kang
Sonya is less impactful is because Scorpion is Scorpion.
Okay, so there’s no logic to the ranking system. Got it.
This version has less detail than the arcade version.
Too bad Shang’s friendship doesn’t have much 🌈🌈🌈 IMAGINATION 🌈🌈🌈
You guys keep doing Raidens fatality wrong
You did Raidens fatality wrong you have to button mash
just to say,you said raiden fatality is bad? you did it wrong,you have to keep tapping buttons until they explode
I know I'm sorry 🙏, I'll never hear the end of it as long as I live lol
You failed the Raiden fatality
Are you doing shaolin monks?
Planning to a shaolin monks playthrough + fatality ranking a little after the initial hype of MK1
