Kung Lao is my most favorite Shaolin Monk in the franchise. He was looking *sharp* 🌝 Plus I love the Wing Chun style he used throughout the franchise. Dunno why they gave that style to "Movado" of all people. Should've had Movado use Mantis instead. But o well at least Kung got it back in MK9 to MK12.
Yeah back when MK2 was unleashed on the arcades, you'd never seen that cabinet empty. My local arcade I went to, there was always a crowd around the MK2 machine. Ahh good times....😌
Facts. When Saibot Nhoj left Midway, MK's quality game-to-game just slowly went on the decline. Granted there were exceptions like Deadly Alliance, Deception, MK9, and MKX but the rest? 👎
Not sure how you can say that- Without Ed's technical expertise and actual code implementation, I suspect MK would have stayed just a cool idea with drawings and backstory. John Tobias may have been the creative ideas guy, and certainly Daniel Pesina and other actors deserve credit for their contributions, but Ed was always executor of the project -and did most of the coding of MK1-3.
Great interview, but let's call a spade a spade- Ed Boon was the glue to the MK project. He's an expert assembly language games programmer, who cut his teeth making arcade games under the mentorship of OG-Legend Eugene Jarvis (Defender, Narc, Smash TV, Cruisin USA) while at Midway. Without Ed's technical expertise and actual code implementation, MK would have stayed just a cool idea with drawings and backstory. John Tobias may have been the creative ideas guy, and certainly Daniel Pesina and other actors deserve credit for their contributions, but Ed was always chief executive and technical officer of the project -and did most of the coding of MK1 through 3. Since then, he's become the defacto MK head.
Kitana, Mileena, Jade, Scorpion, Sub Zero, Reptile, & Smoke all wore masks way before Coronavirus made them cool! I know there's more but I'm only including ninjas from 1 & 2.

Anthony Marquez still looks good, he's aging really well. Kung Lao was the coolest character.

Man. I remember when MK came out, I'd never seen so many people surrounding an arcade cabinet in my life. Until MK2 came out lol

I like how the people who really created the game .... get kick out of his own creation and take all the credit in things!
Real Mortal Kombat Creators John Tobias and Daniel Pesina, Ed Boons just came along for the ride

Definitely the coolest version of Kung Lao out of all the games and all these years later.
