Scorpion: I am Scorpion, you killed me in cold blood
Sub-Zero: Ayy ma bad
I laughed way too hard at this.
I can't tell if Sonya was being in character or was really pissed to be in that outfit.
Lol
I get the feeling it was a bit of both.
@@somerandolad I mean she’s wearing a sports bra and a pair of yoga pants while wearing a military cap. It’s borderline a pornographic outfit.
@@robertcortez4956 Uh....borderline pornographic? Lmao
First from the boon events with her that yes she’s just being in character, not because her outfit which is mild at best, I’ve never seen such a dumb comment, can you even go to the beach without screeching about the swimsuits? Do you look at mannequins at the mall with topical clothes much more than hers and scream “How dare they sale these pornographic outfits!”
Grow up boi
@@KaoticReach1999 Got a little edge in your comment dude XD.
Replacing Bi-Han's voicelines with CJ's was the greatest thing you've come up with! Please continue! I want more of Gangsta Sub-Zero.
Same old Sub Zero! Busta! Straight busta!

17:29 Fun fact, it's revealed in MKX that stomping Quan-Chi's nads is the only way to break the Revenant curse.
"Our battle is finished, you are now freed from my curse"
Scorpion says that while humping the air. Such lovely animation.

Can't wait for people to yell about wanting a part 3 after 2 seconds of this came out.
Lucidly Lucid I want part 3
Yeah, but no seriously, where's part 3?
wheres part 3?
"Get the microphone out of my face"
"Sorry"
@AlphaDrum It was, but still was a weird awkward moment
always seemed like kind of a dick move by her, journalist was just doing his job
@@alexandera.7127 I think it may just have been an in-character reaction, since Sonya is the no-nonsense action girl who doesn't suffer fools whose name isn't Cage. Or maybe the journo made a pass or joke that made her decide they can't be friends anymore.
Still, my sides!
Worst MK games (in my opinion):
3: Mortal Kombat 9/2011
2: Mortal Kombat: shaolin monks
1. Mortal Kombat 2 and trilogy
MK2 and trilogy were such garbage ass games, I don’t understand how they were actually liked! I’m sure most will agree with my list!
The Dude no most people won’t but your opinion buddy
16:06 - Ah, yes, who can forget that time Sub-Zero fought Thor
18:40 Or that time he fought the Violator in his medieval lair.

Wow, she sounds so happy and thrilled for the new video game. 😃
Actress is gorgeous though
Ah yes the 90s, back when Netherrealm was still called Midway, and their games didn’t have those weird jawline cheeks
Actually, Midway declared bankruptcy after MK Armageddon (or it was Vs. DC? IDK)
Netherrealm Is a studio formed by Ed Boom and has nothing to do with Midway, aside some staff returning from the previous.
@@mqfii8992 After MK vs. DC.
I miss Midway Games .
@@casualvanilla they deserved bankruptcy for that game alone and the Armageddon fatality system
@@realapokalyptotony1930 Armageddon wasn't really that bad of a game it had some good ideas but some of those ideas were poorly executed

GemerlYT they need to bring him back though lol that handstand spinkick was tight
I wonder if Sonya was in character, or if she thought Tommy Tallarico was hitting on her and was genuinely disgusted. It was a good video, and you made me laugh several times while still being informative.
He doesn't have time for that, he was late for working hand-in-hand with Shigeru Miyamoto
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69his moms proud of him
I can't be the only one who really enjoyed Mortal Kombat 4 :( this was even more nostalgic to me than previous versions :(
Powi MK4 still stands the test of time. It’s got a great look to it. Still love it. It’s of that era.
The continue screen was bloody good at giving me nightmares, that's for sure! Loved the music too.
MK4 and MK Gold were my favorite.
Jivy I had the exact same MK4 PC port. that thing was great.
I grew up off that and Sub Zero. At worst I can say they aged badly, but realistically I don't have anything bad to say about those games.

Who the hell is bubba?

Na man Fujin is awesome, the only good newcomer out of MK4. Rain is still the best tho.
Really? what about Quan Chi? or Shinnok? or Tanya? or Reiko? none of them are any good?
Lord Raptor Quan Chi is a BITCH!!! Shinnok is alright. Tanya and Reiko get better.
Rain sucks ass. Totally broken and unbalanced in Trilogy, has the worst fatality in the entire franchise (his uppercut fatality is fucking horrible,) he's barely got 3 special moves, he's only been playable 4 times in 15 released games, and he's consistently ranked as one of the lamest characters by various media outlets. Fuck Rain, weakest ninja outside of Chameleon.
@wafflcoptr Rain is a character with wasted potential but a lot of people would disagree with you saying that he is bad. He got better when the MKX comics fleshed him out a little more along with his appearance in the MKX story-mode and before that they were fleshing him out a little in Armageddon. Ed Boon himself said that he doesn't like Rain but its funny cause some characters that Ed dislikes are some of the ones that have a relatively large fan-base.
@@CradleOfJohn He just doesn't offer anything special. Unlike Reptile, Noob Saibot, Ermac, or Smoke who all started off as rumors and secret characters you could fight but not play as, Rain was a joke from the start. By the time he was playable, his moveset was simply unfair and unbalanced and if you had a friend who played him in Trilogy, you were pissed off and would talk endless shit for him choosing Rain (think Oddjob in Goldeneye.) If that weren't enough, his uppercut Fatality in that game is, barre none, the worst in the entire franchise. MK vs. DC gets a lot of flak but those fatalities were created under some serious limitations imposed by Warner Bros. Trilogy didn't have those restrictions. It could have been as violent as they wanted it to be, and yet it was the shittiest fatality up until that point and you'd be hard pressed to find a worse one (some of Bo' Rai Cho's are really bad, Quan Chi's neck-stretch in Deadly Alliance is up there too.)
But what really ruins him are his fans. They seem to think he's just as cool as Scorpion and Sub-Zero and think he should be in every game, even though the number of fatalities he has is lower than the number of games he has been playable in. Rain is seriously underwhelming in every aspect and his fans want him to be DLC when we only have 6 slots available that would be better used on characters like Fujin, Shujinko, Onaga, Blaze, Havik, Motaro, Reiko, and maybe a guest like Spawn or Doomguy. Rain had his chance already, it's kinda selfish to want him again.
I feel for that guy doing the interview. He's so sad.
Duche bag who got roasted on camera, lol best part
Poop trilogy
Jarek actually says: IMSOGAY!!!
Loving the vids lately man, I've gotta sign up for that pateron!
All I can think about in regards to the bad characters is when Pat from SBFP was talking shit about the designs from the PS2 era before he realized the guy he was talking to was the lead designer during said era.
Keanbo Garbanzo
When was this? And who designed them? I really like the PS2 era designs!
@@sosamanotf642 They talked about it during their Friday Night Fisticuffs for MKX I think? I know they mentioned it during the MKX video that was on machinima before that channel shit the bed and deleted everything.
It was more in the context of characters like Moloch and Nitara being un-fixable, while characters like Fujin and Kenshi were redeemed.

One of the things I love about MKX and also MK11 now is that the characters look like real people, and it reminds me of the digitized actors from the OG trilogy

Even more so in MK11's case with its use of face models.

Either you were a massive 12 year old or you are a very small lad.

And the award for this centuries best voice acting goes to...
You have to continue this series! I am loving it, it's a well deserved break from Spider-Man and Hulk.
I have an IMMENSE soft spot for Mortal Kombat 4 because not only was it the first MK game I played, it was also the first video game I ever played. I was 3 or 4 when I played it. It's pretty goofy but that's why I love it, the endings are the best, especially Jarek's ending. Out of these 3 games MK4 is still BY FAR the better game, I don't find MK4 to be complete trash, it's certainly not the worst thing out there
I have a soft spot for MK4 too, and that wasn´t my first one at all.
I think it´s just hip and cool to hate on MK4 nowadays.
*bad voice acting*, but reptile´s slithery voice in MK4 beats the new coarse angry voice they gave him in MK X(beats the design too in my opinion). Every strike landed, the opponent would scream in pain, in fact, the hose spraying sound effect can only be noticed by ignoring the agonizing screams of the fighter being ripped apart (they barely do that in the fatalities nowadays). In the very least sounds and voices should be a mixed bag, not straight out bad.
Then there´s the screams of someone being tortured in the soundtrack, the game over endless pit, the majority of not-at-all-happy-endings. The entire game is like a picture screaming *agony*... it´s fine if people don´t like it, but c´mon... that´s awesome.
@@serphence8566 I Agree on Reptile, I actually like that design, of course there is nostalgia bias for me, but I do think its better than some of his later designs, like Deadly Alliance,. My favorite Reptile designs are classic human, MK4 and MK Shaolin Monks, hopefully if Reptile is DLC or one of the 2 unlockable characters for MK11, he will have a classic human ninja skin, like how Scorpion and Sub-Zero have a classic inspired costume
2 videos in a week!!!!! You have blessed us Godzilla...
I originally got a little upset about someone talking trash about one of my favorite games from my childhood, but eventually saw the humor in it all. Thanks for changing my perspective.
13:16 - 13:21
Oh Hey! Thats Me! :D
Not Gonna Lie, House Of The Dead Was Actually Really Good.
And I Was The One To Beat The Endurance Round As Kitana! You're Welcome!
Your Xavier’s sister?
Yup.
You’re*
the voice acting for Sub Zero was top notch and its a shame his voice actor couldn't continue voicing the character when he is what Kevin Conroy is to Batman
One neat thing in MK mythologies is that scorpion first appears in his MK1 costume, but the next time you fight him, he's in his MK3 costume. Just in case anyone didn't notice
at least there are more gore that Mortal kombat Vs DC
Can someone PLEASE make a video of those subzero/CJ edits??
*where’s MK4 for the Game Boy Colour?*
*0/10*
15:25 That explains a lot.
17:55 "You killed me." My bad.
I know that mythologies has a lot of problems and an incredibly hard difficulty. I like the game and the idea of these side stories
I don’t hate MK4/Gold, but I consider it that difficult to master baby step of the franchise. For it to evolve from the 90s era to the 2000s. If you know what I’m trying to say.
PS, don’t dis the Dreamcast. Ever.
The endings of the characters in this game is like wizard of oz on crack. "Reptile asks for something??" No!! Lol
"Earthrealm, home, or at least it was before i fucked everything up"
So CJ was sub zero all the time after GTA San Andreas or did CJ already know ice powers before San Andreas.
So he defeated the ballas
An corrupted police force, an sorcerer from hell and an fallen elder god? Wowzers.
Godzillamendoza is a beautiful man child that loves murder. And I love him.
"Get the microphone out of my face"
Oof. Must've been in a bad mood, huh?
1:15 the timing with Spidey's punch and Left Hand Suzuki Method was perfect.
Ay thanks for the video Xavier, genuinely love this series despite not being a huge MK nerd, honestly this series makes me actually want to play MK. Even tho all I'll amount to is a button mashing scrub but damn it I'll have fun doing it.
Don't be fooled. Scorpion and Sub Zero are not the main characters by a long shot. If you go in thinking that you will be dissapointed
@@BlamoStramo I never said that?
@@lamedrawings Just a warning. The nature of these videos and the advertising for the games would have you think so
Give Sub-Zero CJs voice is classic
11:25 " But they just took out his cyborg parts because he was gay " according to subtitle
Your videogames videos are awesome. Have you played the Metal Gear saga? It would be amazing to see videos of this saga in this model of videos. Just an suggestion to do after the MK videos.
Mortal kombat 4 is one of the best in the Mk series so I don’t understand why people underrate the game.
Because it really isn't that good.....at all.....
Because the game is really bad

@@ar_reactions612 like every other comment section
I'm actually really like Sub-Zero Mythologies. When i first played it, this game kicked my ass, but the game concept, graphics, soundtrack and atmosphere, it's really grown on me, so i kept practicing. Eventually i mastered controls, jump timing sections and fighting system. I even drawn the maps of levels, checking every single pit for a secret, marking those places on a map so i could restart this level with full credits and easily complete it with every bonus item on the map picked up.
Using CJ's voice lines for subba bubba is just perfect
Carl Johnson Sub-Zero is bae. I'm in love with that entire segment because of that.
Great job, dude!
You dissapiont me dude. MK4 was awesome, i gotta skip your mk4 review, makes no sense.

MK4 was great. It was a phenomenom. I was hooked on MK ever since I played 2 in the arcades. I saw the release of MK4, and the huge hype behind it. I remember walking into the arcades the day the MK4 machine arrived and it was surrounded by a sea of people. Seeing those 3d graphics, the amped up violence. I distinctily remember people cheering the first time we all saw the countdown ending on the Continue screen, and Scorpion falling into the spikes. A year later I got a MK4 on my psone, and I played the shit out of it.
I know a lot of people who are more used to modern gaming might find it strange, but things like ultra-realistic graphics and good voice-acting weren't really that important to us back then. They were more like a nice extra. ESPECIALLY for fighting games. Of course, by the time MK4 came out, there were other 3d fighting games that blew it out of the water (Tekken, for example), but it was still cool to see those characters we all grew up with in these huge 3d models, performing way more elaborate fatalities, with different camera angles and stuff. The game hasn't aged as well as the classic trillogy, but for those who were there when it came out, I'm pretty sure it has a special place in their hearts.
Damn Xavier I didn’t know you played house of the dead we should hang out sometime if you are either in Nevada or I am in Colorado
OH SHIT TOMMY TALLARICO CAMEO 12:36!!
I can't believe he worked on every single sound effect and piece of music featured in both the MK games and this video. He should totally get 7 new Guinness World Records for that.
Funny enough was watching older videos of yours when this popped up. Good stuff!
MK4 was a good game imo. I used to play the hell out of it with my friends.
This comment won't get a heart
"GET DA AWMY OMMA MUDDA FUCKIN MANIAC"
I love CJ. He's so stupid.
So i assume.....that the true terror of bad mk games is just beginning. (Also, this retrospective will probably not be done before the release of MK11.)
Can you cover the 3D (PS2,Xbox & GCN) era of MK too, I really consider those to be the hidden gems of MK.
17:57
“you could have let me live”
“give me a break, bitch i’m SORRY”
Hey man just wanna say I’m craving for the next installment in this series. Keep up the good work
Tremor may have been super forgettable but he's really fucking cool in MKX
28:59 YOO HE IS PLAYING A KORN SONG IN THE BACKGROUND, specifically did my time
Kick ass on the Sheena blooper, that was nicely done. Cute actress too.
I Love when They explode But they keep screaming 😂😂😂
Kung Lao was already in Mortal Kombat even before Mortal Kombat 4
That person who played Sonya looked like she didn't wanna be bothered at all! What was that about???
I get the feeling that the guy presenting may have made some comments towards her that did not make the edit, or otherwise did something that offended her.
From the clip at the end it's clear that she's either really committed to playing the character as a stone cold bitch, or that she really fucking hates the guy with the microphone.
30:53 - Sonya's no-bullshit attitude seems to have rubbed off onto the actress.
You know mortal kombat 4 has a cheat code you can used in the setting on the main menu to perform the fatalities easier...
Honestly, I loved Mk4 back as a kid. It had such an unsettling vibe with creepy music and disturbing moments like Shinnok's face melting, living trees moaning in the background or that game over screen that everyone remembers. Cutscenes were fine, on par with what other games had back then and much more entertaining than still images with text . Most of the new characters were indeed very forgetable, but I disagree with the story being bad. If anything, it was interesting to see so many characters being killed in the cutscenes. It made you wonder who was gonna make it out alive in the end.
MK4 was a weird mix of dark and silly. You got Shinnok's face melting one minute and being "flushed" down the portal to God-knows-where the next, complete with the appropriate sound. You got bone breaker moves that made you cringe with the realistic sound effects, and then some fighters yell "OOHI'MGONNATHROWYOUOVERTHERE" when they literally throw their opponent on the other side of the arena. You have somber ladder endings like Liu Kang's, dark ones like Shinnok's, and ridiculous ones like Jarek's... Yell of Pride™.
You could argue that it's series tradition to be dark and silly since at least MK2 with the Friendships and Babalities, but MK4 for me was the point where the silly started to clash with the dark. Its tone was all over the place.
