My mom used to love Mortal Kombat when she was younger. Actually, she told me that it was one of the three games she’d play before i was born. The other two being one of the Ogre Battle (or Tactics Ogre, still not sure which one is more of a fitting name), and the amazing SNES JRPG Chrono Trigger
Ogre Battle, now there's a game I haven't heard of in a long time. It sure was an interesting one
My mom was too much of a fool to not play that game
why is my mom not like yours
@@vortex4613 I have no clue. the most my mom plays for games these days is very rarely Pokemon Conquest.
Your mom sounds amazing all 3 great games!
Kyle is a legend for teaching this man about Mortal Kombat
"Kyle The Legend" is the person we never got to know but the person we need to learn about..
#MortalKyleSweep
Mortal Kombat will remain one of my most favorite fighting game franchises of all time.
"Wrong, Jarek! This is not a brutality! This is a FATALITY!" "IMSOGAAAAAAAAAAY!!!"
Shujinko didn't fail his quest. He actually completed it, which was exactly what Onaga wanted. He was a spirit at the time, since he was previously killed by Shao Khan, and wanted Shujinko to collect the Kamidogu so he could merge the realms. This would bring back the One Being, a deity that existed before everything else, who was eventually split into the realms that exist. Once Reptile got turned into Onaga's new body in his Deadly Alliance ending, Onaga took the Kamidogu from Shujinko, who thought he was on a quest from the Elder Gods to save the realms. That's why the game talks about Deception. Deception, and to an extent Armageddon, are driven by the One Being trying to reform, which would end all of reality.
As for MK10 being less colorful, I believe it reflects the serious nature of the story. In the original timeline, Shao Khan is still alive, and most of Earthrealm's heroes are still alive. This means Shinnok has to settle for a tournament in order to conquer Earthrealm and absorb it into the Netherrealm. This would bring the One Being closer to resurrection, of course, showing its influence over even a fallen Elder God. But, Liu Kang kicks Shinnok's ass and sends the Netherrealm packing. In the new timeline, most of Earthrealm's fighters are dead and serving as Revenants under Shinnok, while Outworld is in the middle of a civil war because of Shao Khan being killed at the end of MK9. This lets Shinnok launch a full-scale invasion of Earthrealm, complete with an army of demons. It's just about as bleak a situation as possible for Earthrealm in this game. Shinnok's Arcade ending even has him conquer all the realms and merge them, intentionally bringing back the One Being. That ending basically tells us he was being mentally influenced by this dead entity. So, MK10 has a lot at stake, which, again, I believe is the reason for the darker color tones.
Sorry for the long post, but the lore and background machinations in MK are very interesting to me.
MK4 was an invasion not a tournament. It's only a tournament from a gameplay perspective.
Alot at stake but the NRS storyline is trash.
Johnny Cage in the 1st and 2nd MK games was actually modelled after Jean Claude Van Damme from bloodsport.
And not sure why exactly; but watching Kitana turn into a ravenous rabbit then attacking made me immediately think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
And Tiger electronics had made a card barcode scanner MK3 handheld game. When I played that it confused the crap out of me due to having to use certain cards for certain moves for certain characters. Street Fighter also had one which I also have.
Fun fact; Carey-Hiroyuki Tagawa also portrayed Shang Tsung in live action in MK Legacy for 3 episodes. He also portrayed Heihachi in both live action Tekken movies.
Ok, now his iconic splits/crotch shot move makes 1000x more sense 😂
Armageddon and 9 (2011) are easily the peak back to back games. I NEED A SHAOLIN MONKS SEQUEL AND REMASTER NOW
To me the peak was Ultimate MK3 it had all the characters from the previous games up to that point and added 3 new ninjas Noob Saibot, Rain, and Ermac its also the first time you can play as Shao Khan, Goro, Kintaro, and Motaro, Motaro in MK Armageddon kind of blows I still have that game but my ps2 is broken
Me: Mains Reiko when he is playable.
Conner: Reiko fans don't exist
Me: ok. (Fades from existance)
Jesas Khrist Deception, I was casually listening to this retrospective when I heard the name of the main character.
Shujinkou (主人公) in Japanese LITERALLY translate to "protagonist".
I'm simultaneously proud I caught that and pissed I now know this trivia.
A flawless retrospective.
To think I've been playing MK in its inception, I can see why it's still going strong 30 years later. I really appreciatetaking us into your journey with your experience with MK. A crown jewel of both fighting games and pop culture. All there's left to say is excellent!
It's not flawless, he talked shit about Fujin.
Fun fact, quan chi’s first ACTUAL appearance was not the games, but the cartoon spelt with a K: defenders of the realm where all he does is make this goofy freeze frame worthy face, then peaces out until 4 came out…our villain everyone
Armageddon was basically the smash ultimate of mortal kombat
God, MK on Gameboy looked like a Tiger Electronics game. That's rough
😂😂😂😂
True
I wish you mentioned one of my favorite things about Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance.
The music video for Adema's Immortal
I would be so funny if you renamed this video to the bloody world of mortal Kombat
He should do that
Caddicarus
My favorite type of video game is Mortal Kombat 4 for the Nintendo 64 because it is a great game too play 🎮🥋👍🥳😊
I like mk3 the most, but deception was really damn good. Chess kombat was addictive af to me as I love chess. Playing story mode was so relaxing to me, it is a great game to stream even to this day, can't go wrong with it. Mk3 gave me bursts of action and fun, but I could definitely sit there and stream deception for hours.
One of the best MK4 jibberishes is Jarek: "OHI'MGONNATHROWYOUOVERTHERE!!!" ("Oh I'm gonna throw you over there!")
The mortal Kombat series was alot of fun to play.
Thanks for the long format video! It was a great nostalgia romp. Great summary 👌
Nice timing I've been bingeing mk kontent recently
I will not allow the total disrespect of Shujinko
Mortal Kombat is fantastic, from the original cabinet to the upcoming mobile title.
Great video! I remember when the first Mortal Kombat came out in arcades and just blew everyone's mind. I always thought it was kind of weird how the graphics style would change a little from game to game, but overall I was always impressed by the visuals... until they went 3D. MK4 turned my off of the series as a whole, to the point where I just never got back into it.
Shout out to Kyle!
MK trilogy is the only one i still love playing to this day. its the best homage to the first 3 games.
Very entertaining mate loved that! Thanks for the effort. Flawless Victory :P
Mortal kombat is my FAVOURITE game series, i see positives for ever game, and it's good to see just content on someone who's lovin talking about it
I still remember when I first played Mortal Kombat on Genesis. I hadn't ever played it at the arcade, partly because I've always hated playing fighting games at the arcade because of having to use a crappy joystick that doesn't register anything properly. So when I did get the chance to play Mortal Kombat, which involved some exploitation of an incident to convince my mom to let me rent it, I was highly disappointed by the low level of violence. Yes, it was still more violent than most other games I'd played, but compared to all the rumors I had heard of the game at the time, and without having experienced the arcade original, I came to the conclusion that all the hype over the game's violence was heavily over exaggerated.
I played in the arcade because I was poor, we were always behind on the game consoles as well when we were barely getting an snes people already had n64 and playstation, then we got the N64 and the ps2 came out, then we finally caught up with the ps2 and the ps3 came out so we gave up after getting a ps3 and xbox360
@@rockk9753 On the plus side, staying a generation behind means most games will be cheaper to buy, and you can research the console's entire library in advance, instead of buying a console early then hoping for the best in the years to come.
The disrespect to fujin is unforgivable.
Also, deadly alliance had an arcade release as well. It was just...wierd.
No it didn't, it had a handheld version named Tournament Edition and it was trash.
@@Euro.Patriot yes it did. I saw it a few times.
This video has to have the most chaotic ranking of the Mortal Kombat games I’ve ever seen
I used to watch your content when I was in middle school, glad to see you’re still uploading :)
nice video bro, me , my bro , and nephew love mk games!!
mans's out here putting some Tales of Series tracks In the video. kudos to you mate.
🐉☯️🐲🎮 This is a really cool video good job at keeping me entertained for over an hour lol definitely going to subscribe 😎💪
Honestly I don’t know why they don’t do another mk vs dc universe. I think they’ve gotten pretty good at making the modern mk gameplay as well as injustice’s take in it with dc characters. Both series are do well so it almost seems like a no-brainer to try again. I feel like this time they could actually give marvel vs capcom the run for their money that they were originally intending with mk 8
I met the actors for johnny/ninjas, Jax, and Raiden. Really cool dudes.
The that’s so raiden line. 100% gold. Had me in tears
Glad you made this, I just got into this series after playing Mk11 with my Dad on the PS4 and Bought Mk11 Ultimate on the switch.
The Mk 11 Nintendo switch port doesn’t have the best graphics thoguh
@Scream Soda Yeah tell me about it ugh
As an 3D era lover and advocate, I never understood why 3D era haters or people who haven't played the 3D games would call the new characters "generic" when characters from the klassic era like Johnny, Sonya, kano, Jax (to a lesser extent) and especially Liu Kang are as generic as they come in their debut games, Johnny is every white Hollywood actor ever, Sonya is basically just "Girl" kano was basically "ever bad guy grunt ever," Jax is bodybuilder/pro wrestler, and Liu Kang is 1 of a million Bruce lee ripoff/copycats. Now if you were to say, read their bios or see their arcade endings they might become more interesting, but guess what I'm about to say. Go on, guess. The same think would happen if people did the same thing for the 3D era characters!!
Lets use Ashrah as an example. Some people have called Ashrah a "Raiden Clone" which outside of the color theme and ONE move, is not true. and if people read Ashrah's bio and story, they'd learn that Ashrah is a Demon from the netherrealm who wants to cleanse her soul and and escape damnation. there is a lot more to her story but everyone else can look that up. but this is just one example of many 3d era characters that are very interesting if you look past the surface of "Character select"
(RANT OVER)
Also to talk about the "Bad voice acting" I understand it can be annoying to some but remember, unlike NRS, Midway wasn't a major game developer, they had to work a much smaller budget, most videogames of this era had bad, Cheesy voice acting, there are some exceptions but those are exceptions.
This and the powerpuff girls video are my favorite videos of Conner, Keep up the great job Conner
i used to dislike ashrah…. but her combos were crazy so i love her now. and hotaro, and havik i thought were so cool
This video is amazing. Your content is top notch. I'm actually low key crying a little, so much memories and your experience seems so familiar to mine... Thanks for your work...
glad to know you're just as much of an MK nerd as i am 👍
The first Mortal Kombat game I’ve played was Mortal Kombat (2011) on the Xbox 360 and it was fantastic. And I was also too young to play that game at the time, I was about 7 or so. But I still love Mortal Kombat in all of its Gory Glory.
Subscribed. Love and Algorithm from Detroit
Thanks Kyle. Very cool.
Epic series!!!!
Cool mortal Kombat love the complete trilogy
Shoutout to kyle
Hope he is still doing ok.
Also I am the fabled raiko fan
Deception will always be my favorite so many great game modes along with arcade
lmao as a child i use to awlays mk vids from u but i could never now ik my old self will be happy
Thank you for nostalgia
Thank you, Kyle
TOASTY
Thank you Kyle
mkx being so low makes me so sad bc it was basically my first hands on experience with the 2D style of mortal Kombat and I loved it so much and I learned so many combos and got really good at it. But overall Mkx is an amazing game but it sucks how bad the color palette was.
Kobra is the Dan of MK and I unironically want him to come back.
Great, now I can try one of those fa-alities! 😂
My brother was my rival in video games. With Shao Lin Monks I was always Kung Lao or Scorpion while he was always Liu Kang or Sub-Zero though I was always player 1. Would've been nice if they would've followed up with Shao Lin Monks 2, that first game was awesome.
Thanks, Kyle.
Thank you kyle
One of the most iconic fighting game franchises of all time
thanks Kyle
Wow also thanks kyle
Thank you Kyle!
I never played X for pretty much the exact same reason you did: I didn't have an Xbox or Playstation from that generation. Hell, the only reason I was able to play MK9 was cuz I bought a 360 super cheap during a black Friday sale towards the end of that console's life. What can I say, I've mostly been a Nintendo fanboy most of my life. Though when the next game, MK11, did actually come out on a console I owned, I went and watched a supercut of all of X's story cutscenes on youtube to prepare myself. Because, yes, I actually am that kind of dork who actually plays these games for the story.
Mortal Kombat really brings such nostalgia to my childhood, and I’ve played all of these games (most of them). Now that they are recently releasing a brand new rebooted game, and calling it Mortal Kombat 1.
On point I'm older but u are right the first 2 just push buttons till someone loses the third tho it was time to learn, Shaolin monks best one ever.
MK2 & MK9 are my all time favorites in the franchise.
Honestly, mk 9 was one of my favorites, I loved how your character kept their injuries as they fought to where at the end they're standing there with chunks of their body missing and whatnot, lol. Seems like after that game they'd mostly spray blood but most look like sweaty angry ppl.
Thanks Kyle!
Batman doesn’t kill…but he brutally lays the smackdown on anyone in his path to the point where the unfortunate j-bronne is in a hospital, hanging on for dear life.
Out of every single character, cyborg smoke is still the best out of all of them.
Seeing someone rank MKX so low is actually so surprising to me, I guess it’s because from a gameplay stand point MKX is so much more fun than mk11 for me personally with running, meter management and having simpler variations. While MK11 has one of the worst comeback mechanics I have ever seen in a fighting game, worse story imo and quantity over quality cosmetics with micro transactions slapped on that you have to grind in towers for hours to even get for free. I could go on but honestly through all it’s faults I love both games and they both have something that keeps me coming back, hoping MK12 which is “soon” becomes the best it can possibly be
MK Armageddon was the first mortal kombat I saw. My brothers wouldn’t let me play with them so I would sit and watch. When I did play the game my main was Liu Kang.
I kinda need to correct ya on MK4
MK4 was actually highly praised for its graphics. Specifically, the arcade version. It was running on powerful custom hardware called Zeus, ten times stronger than the N64, running what was at the time, extremely detailed graphics and running at a fairly consistent 60 FPS. And it came out in 1997, making it pretty revolutionary. To put it simply, it was _too_ good to the point where all other ports of the game had to be massively scaled down just to run it at 60 FPS. To use the N64 version, while the best looking of the home ports, is unfair and just shows the difference of power between the original and the ports.
Combos are still in MK4, they're just no longer character specific dial-a-combos. Everyone shares the same High Punch to High Kick combo and a few others, but how you implement those is largely up to you and offers a bit more freedom compared to previous games. It also introduced a solution to infinites in the form of Maximum Damage, which would instantly interrupt combos that hit a certain threshold of damage.
MK4 also stood out for introducing Weapon Kombat, as each character had their own weapon to compliment their movesets, ranging from melee to ranged arms.
Also, something else to note: MK4 was part of Midway's big push to advertise Mortal Kombat as more than a fighting game within the main series. This was meant to be the conclusion of a bigger plot that was started in the tie-in prequel, Mythologies Sub-Zero and in fact, three of the newcomers in MK4 were featured in that game as well as a couple backgrounds
My first mk was 9 and know I'm in love with the franchise.
My opinion MkX is top 3
This was pretty good, dude. nice work
The only one of the Kombat Kids that I kinda liked was Takeda
Considering how in love you were with Lui Kang, I'm surprised you didn't mention his zombie being a secret unlockable in Deadly Alliance.
MK started it all, MK2 set the tone, and MK3 made the gameplay we have today possible. The original trilogy is incredible.
You love to see it
I grew up with Mortal Kombat Armageddon, Bad Game but it got me into a great franchise.
Digital Actors was my favorite part of Mortal Kombat
Thanks Kyle! :D
Your perspective of the MK 11 story is opinion of course but I think honestly if you think about it, the multiverse reset aspect of it is the best way to reintroduce the 3D characters again which does appear to be a thing Ed Boon has said recently. Story wise I imagine it’s not a trilogy and MK12 will continue the story. If we see characters like Havok for example reappear and some others that would need a bigger redesign return I think that’s a strong move as well as in a way reopening the door for future games to bring back Onaga in a new way since timeline wise from MK9 it could make sense. However when you mentioned the MK movie and everything to do with it Hell yes. No one can replace Cage or Shang from that movie. They were perfect and it’s an easy guilty pleasure movie I’ve watched countless times. Great video though. Loved the content
I just want to see Onaga and Havik in the roster again
Mavado was actually a pre damn good character, other than Quan Chi he was my go to for that game.
Good waffles here
i wasnt born around this time. but when i got a genesis classic and played mortal kombat it was fun
MK armagedon was packed with effing content! If it was released now, some characters will be locked by paywall, kreate a fighter is non existent or if it was it's heavily reliant on micro transactions, and motor kombat would be released as a stand alone game priced at $60
I liked Stryker in 3. I also liked MK4 and Reiko. When they gave some Shao Kahn mystery to him, I was excited. I understand why they undid it cause people didn't care for him. I definitely hated him in the 2020 movie.
I wish they would release the Mortal Kombat games into Collections.
Kombat Collection 1 would have Mk 1,2,3,4 (The Gold Version), Mythologies, and Special Forces. Kombat Kollection 2 would have Shaolin Monks, Deadly Alliance, Deception, Armageddon, Vs DC Universe, and Mortal Kombat (2011)
As a kid I loved to play as Goro agents my sisters on the first ever playstation. The only reason why I chose him was because he has 4 arms so I would do the input to hold them and beat them with the extra arms. I was a dirty cheater with him but I lost most of the time. But I had fun.(Especially when me or one of my sisters pulled off a fatality.
MKX is actually my all time favorite fighting game
Man no one could remember fatalities back then we had them written down on a piece of paper after seeing them in magazines
damn i didn't even know about Mythologies or Special Forces, my 1st MK game i believe was Deadly Alliance so i don't really know much about any of them b4 that.
In mk shaolin monks there are codes where it lets you plays as scorpion and subzero
The story will continue in this month’s Mortal Kombat 1.
This game will usher in a new era for the franchise, taking place in Liu Kang’s new timeline. A lot of the characters; past, present and future, are all here (well, not all of them).
mk is one of the first fighting games and i became a die-hard fan ever sense
Great retrospective
*Skips the MKX part*
I know I am the only person who feels this way, but MK 4 is my favorite MK game of all time. I loved the chessy endings, and I was also really good at it. Beat the game with every character on Ultimate II and took the time to actually memorize the move sets for each character.
I remember playing mortal kombat 3 with my friends on his playstation and I would always pick baraka
