Now THIS is a reall MK select theme. The deadly vibe, the dark feeling of an upcoming death, its either you or you opponent that will die, if theres mercy.
Stryker=Woody Harrelson from white men can t jump with Wesley Snipes! The music with bell dong as though you entering something truly special (mortal kombat 3 from arcade 1995 great times)
Man the aesthetic and the music for this game really freaked me out as a kid, but it felt daring and enticing at the same time. Sign me up for the apocalypse!
The character look a likes: Jax looks like Carlton Banks and Carl Winslow put together. Kano looks like Patrick Stewart Sub-Zero is David Hasselhoff and Stryker is Bill Murray.
The simplicity of this MASTERPIECE. The aesthetics, the UI, everything. So simple, so elegant... No modern version of this franchise can match the obscure, dark feel of this legacy! PEACE OUT!
I remember I would always play as Shang Tsung because of his handy dandy morphing ability. I mean, why play as one character when you can play as them all?
When I was a kid, when I heard this I was terrified lol. felt like I was gonna get troll stomped by shiva. playing this in the dark with this select music petrified me lol. But now, BEST CHARACTER SELECT MUSIC EVER
@@Euro.Patriot I actually don't remember the character select screens from those games. gonna go listen to them right now. also since you are an aussie, Swift and Shift Couriers is the best show and Leanne is hot
I was never a Mortal Kombat fan growing up. But I do remember a relative of mine surprised me with their old Super Nintendo as a late birthday gift around the end of my teenage years. They still had all of the necessary chords, some manuals, 3 Controllers and around 20-something games. MK III was one of them. ( about a year or so later I was also given a Sega Genesis and MK II was one of the games but unfortunately I lost the Sega Genesis in the house fire a couple months later and my family and I were forced to move ) I didn't play it much, but this theam music stuck with me. Now here I am in the later half of year 2020, and a close friend of mine decided to gift me with the digital version of Mortal Kombat 11 on Xbox about 2 weeks ago. ( with all the DLC ) and since they did so just out of pure generosity to be nice it was only respectful if I at least played the game and gave it a try. What do you know, I actually like it. I'm not very good at it but my friend is teaching me so I'll improve with time...wait...time...WAIT...was my past teenager self brought into 2020? (LOL JK) My favorite character is Night Wolf as a Native American myself I find it pretty cool that I relate to one of the old school characters. He was the first character I played in MK III, so I thought why not do the same with the new game? Now listening to this old theme music, it really does make me think about how fast time truly can fly over the years and just how much people may change in terms of their interests. Well I guess it's official, I'm now a casual fan of the Mortal Kombat series.
Hm, just noticed something wrong with Stryker's picture here. They forgot to recolor his shirt to be blue instead of red (which is likely its color in real life since they used a blue screen). Looks like they cropped it out in UMK3 and Trilogy, though.
@pirate772009 Actually this was the game Ermac first appeared in. Therefore, he should be on the screen. However, he was a code character and this could just be the screen you see before any characters are unlocked.
It certainly does surpass UMK3. And I loved UMK3 and also MKT. But for me, MK3 was the dogs bollocks. I fucking loved it. Introduction of run meter, run meter combos, % damage display, animalities, mercy and robo-ninjas (Sektor, Cyrax and Smoke were my 3 favourite characters). Sonya and Kano brought back. Amazing to think that of the 14 playable characters from MK1 and MK2 combined, only half of them (7) appeared in MK3. And also, more than half of the MK3 line-up (8) were brand new characters.
+Wagner M.S. And you know what's fucked up? A lot of people didn't like MK3 because Raiden nor Scorpion was in it and because of the inclusion of the run button. MK3 changed drastically from the previous 2 MK games and it turned out to be a great game. I loved it
+paidenthusiast MK1, MK3/UMK3/Trilogy and 4 were the best for me. MK1 had a somewhat fair/normal AI and it has less special moves, and doesn't feel cheap or need to know many special moves to win. MK3 was fun with the run button and other stuff (TOASTY), and UMK3 added more characters (But cheaper AI) and Trilogy added even more and more stuff. MK4 also was pretty good for me, and got me again into MK since long time. I know MK2 is a good designed game, but it's ridiculously hard since being between DeffensiveMK1/OffensiveMK3 without run button, and the cheap AI, which since I haven't got through the second fighter (lol).
+waluigi number one hahahaha beat the entire tower with nothing but jump attacks and his shred attack. The only time that doesn't work for shit is when you get to Kintaro.
By far mortal kombat 3 is the BEST mortal kombat game ever and the most underrated and its much better than mortal kombat 2 i just dont understand people Who hate It simply because It didnt appear scorpion
@gengarjetty I take back what I said about Subzero. This was one of the games where he didn't have a mask. He's second from the right on the middle row.
Shao Kahn’s voice was way more menacing than in the new games. As soon as you heard him you knew you were in for a fight for your life. The new Kahn’s voice just sounds like a constipated edgelord.
Now THIS is a reall MK select theme. The deadly vibe, the dark feeling of an upcoming death, its either you or you opponent that will die, if theres mercy.
That's literally what Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon are.
this is real mk
Its as if you've entered the fiery pits of Hell...
@@Euro.Patriot Those are cool, but they're lacking that special something something that MK3 had
@@greatBLT No.
This was the best character select music for all the games!
You not listen contra hard corps select music
agreed
Nah this is good but deadly alliance is better
MK3 UMK3 MKT , has the best fighter selection music ever made , MK4 MKG has another good one , Decepcion has one still Good . MKA is really good too.
Ronald Coley deception
This is by far the best character select music for all MK’s
This my second favorite but mortal Kombat 2 is the best to me
Shit, this and DA.
I disagree. MK2 had the best one
Totally True !Always loved it.
@@dafundraiser563I also loved MK2 music selection too.
This theme gives you one clear message "The world is about to end".
knucke up... travel back 95 at my old pizzeria spot
Stryker=Woody Harrelson from white men can t jump with Wesley Snipes! The music with bell dong as though you entering something truly special (mortal kombat 3 from arcade 1995 great times)
@@3EBstudio the outworld monks chanting makes it's even scarier
@@darthdestructor927 lol how do you know they are monks
2021 pretty much
Man the aesthetic and the music for this game really freaked me out as a kid, but it felt daring and enticing at the same time. Sign me up for the apocalypse!
👍👍
The Outer world monks chanting is awesome
I love how sick Kung Lao looks on his portrait. Literally the best version of him
Yeah he looks so cool here
To this day I still find it very odd that Jax looks like my father..
TheLeadDog150 😄
@Razh 80 YES😁
That’s because John Parrish is your father.
Lol
Did you ever show your dad this? Back in the days when playing this game?
The character look a likes:
Jax looks like Carlton Banks and Carl Winslow put together.
Kano looks like Patrick Stewart
Sub-Zero is David Hasselhoff
and Stryker is Bill Murray.
the inspirational movie character to be in mortal kombat
LOL
Why does Kabal look like a medieval knight, Shang Tsung is Robin when he's old and Kung Lao looks like a bike cop. lol
+Daydrian Lewis (DAYD111) Striker is DEFINITELY Cary Elwes.
shang tu sung looks like a pissed of Michael Jackson lol
UMK3 and Trilogy had the best music out of all MK games. Wish we can have the option to bring the old school soundtrack and select screen music back.
Still today Mortal Kombat 3 had the best Soundtrack of the franchise.
this was the best player select music for this entire Mortal Kombat series
Best fighting character select screen of All-time 🔥🔥🔥
Use to be scared of this theme. The dark tone. Shiva use to scare me. I was just a kid.
Still sounds sick...brings back memories.
The simplicity of this MASTERPIECE. The aesthetics, the UI, everything. So simple, so elegant...
No modern version of this franchise can match the obscure, dark feel of this legacy!
PEACE OUT!
This is the best MK select song because 1) speed, and 2) Dan Forden, and 3) awesome steel bell sounds
KABAL!
CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY!
Muahahaha you will lose!!!
@@walker_2003 Kabal's pose thou 🔥🔥🔥
They snapped on this theme 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The sound design was the best ever
Mk3 is still the best... The music fit perfectly and the characters look so scary and deadly
The music in this game is probably the best between the first three iterations.
The best select character theme to this day.
I remember I would always play as Shang Tsung because of his handy dandy morphing ability. I mean, why play as one character when you can play as them all?
Ooo
Too bad you can get stun locked when you demorphed.
If he played like this in MK 11 he'd be banned
Liu Kang was always my favorite
MK3 was the most ruthless of the franchise. And the way Stryker fired his gun into the air was badass.
When I was a kid, when I heard this I was terrified lol. felt like I was gonna get troll stomped by shiva. playing this in the dark with this select music petrified me lol.
But now, BEST CHARACTER SELECT MUSIC EVER
Me too
Bruh 😂😂 same here Sheeva frightened me as a kid and especially when I heard this. Similar to ministry of darkness “Viscera” from wwf
Best select caracter and announcer ever
I don't know if this is better than the Tekken 2 character select. both are so good and timeless!
MKDA and MKD and MKA.
@@Euro.Patriot I actually don't remember the character select screens from those games. gonna go listen to them right now. also since you are an aussie, Swift and Shift Couriers is the best show and Leanne is hot
Actually, this was a very dark, scary, myterious fighting game I every played during 90s
This is really the best character select theme to date
Idk which one I love more, this or deception’s character select theme
Nightwolf and Kung Lao are my favorite,even if Kung Lao looks like a mexican drugs dealer.
Sindel and Night Wolf were two of the best new characters.
I was never a Mortal Kombat fan growing up. But I do remember a relative of mine surprised me with their old Super Nintendo as a late birthday gift around the end of my teenage years.

Dang where did the effort for these character select themes go ?
up yer butt and around the corner
Mortal Kombat's character select themes have been garbage ever since MK Deception (2004) lol. They started off so strong too
Mk deception soundtrack was dark and epic wtf u mean "garbage"?@@tubby_1278
This banger says somebody is gonna get rocked
Kano is literally just Jean-Luc Picard with a cyborg eye and I love it.
Jax looks like Carlton Banks
and Stryker looks like a blonde messi
ahahahah LOL
lol shit... I see that now...
He also kind of looks like John Parrish.
Deroni76 that's cause he is John Parrish
William Phelps Exactly.
Me: Damn! This theme is Gold...
Also me: WHERE'S SCORPION?!?!?!?!
(Character Selecting)
Liu Kang
Choose your Destiny
(Select Master and Death Bell rings)
Excellent
I remember the playing mortal Kombat 3 when I was a kid, good times…

Yes, that's exactly what happened. All costumes were originally red.
I prefer this theme over the Trilogy one, it didn't appeal to me that much when the Trilogy version was slowed down
This is the theme from Trilogy. N64 Trilogy.
I agree with you and I don't know why they slowed down the MK3 music on MKT
Shawn Myrelle No.
@@Zero41692 Apparently it was a glitch
@@SFNDMK I still don't understand, they could put the game with the original MK3 track, better than that
Trilha sonora impecável ❤
The very best choose fighter music!!!!
Earthrealm Warriors : Liu Kang , Raiden , Jax , Sonya Blade , Kenshi , Kung Lao , Stryker , Kabal , Nightwolf , Sub Zero , Smoke , Kitana , Jade , Fujin , Johnny Cage VS Outworld Warriors : Reiko , Tanya , Shao Kahn , Cyrax , Sektor , Sheeva , Goro , Kintaro , Quan Chi , Noob Saibot , Kano , Jarek , Sindel , Mileena , Baraka , Reptile , Ermac , Rain , Motaro , Neutral Characters : Scorpion (Only) , Netherrealm Warriors Aganist Outworld Warriors : Shinnok (Aganist Earthrealm Warrios) .
All I feel when I hear this theme is two words "WELCOME TO HELL"
Before Ed Boon lost touch reality and threw away the franchise. God I love old school MK.
Kung Lao always looked badass to me with what looks like some terminator shades 😎 👹👹
man what nostalgia this song reminds me of the first time I played mk3 and chose sektor to play
@pirate772009 Actually this was the game Ermac first appeared in. Therefore, he should be on the screen. However, he was a code character and this could just be the screen you see before any characters are unlocked.
My god Kabal's face still f-ing creeps me out lmaoooo
Exellent very dark and noirish love it! favorite mk select screen besides mk vs dc

muito boa essa trilha ! tive que vasculhar tudo ate encontrar um video com a musica em boa qualidade !
Woah woah woah this is the mk3/UMK3 character select theme remastered.
I WANT THE ORIGINAL ONE
Mk3 and trilogy was the best

Razh 80 True lol
amazing my childhood in the 90s best time ever fuck 2017
“THEY DON’T HAVE SCORPION?
BUT THEY ADDED A COP?”
Hahaha.
Memories of 22 years back
Helemaal kapotgespeeld toendertijd, vooral met Kabal was ik bijna onverslaanbaar, toch blijven de eerste 2 delen 't mooist voor mij
NIGHTWOLF *Raises burning axe*
It looked like a shortened hockey stick or a golf club with green flame to me
That indian.. Nightwolf.. Hes face creeps me out
This is good but I can't believe max put this over Under Night in Birth
Mk 3 Ultimate is best Mortal Kombat ever.
This is the only game that no Scorpion on it 😢
Scorpion wasn't in Special Forces either but no one cares about that game.
+supergailey1 that game is a spin off
waluigi number one But it is in the MK universe and it's canon.
yup Special Forces is canonical, so is Mythologies
Matthew he is in the dlc version
By far mortal kombat 3 is the BEST mortal kombat game ever and the most underrated and its much better than mortal kombat 2 i just dont understand people Who hate It simply because It didnt appear scorpion
At least Midway fixed within, like, a year with UMK3
I still remember the Asian kid at the arcade beating the shit out of everyone LOOOL
They need to bring back this feeling of dread and doom, the games got too much of this Cassie sass
Pinnacle of 90’s techno
When referring to the first Mortal Kombat movie theme, yeah. This is more like industrial.
either the MK movie theme or the opening theme from Blade
@modewr title says MK3 (UMK3), so it's from both games.
I wish i was bit older when this game came out. The game terrified me back then
Stryker was one of my favorites although he had no perticular powers.
I'm pretty sure that's what made him special. No powers. Just skill, strength and badassery. Like Batman.
That’s what differentiates him from the other characters
Sub-Zero is David Hasselhoff
Stryker looks like Val Kilmer to me
Its a danger zone there.
in game looks like Uncle Joey on Full House.
he looks like a bad ass donut cop.
anyway he's the first character I use in umk3.
Jax was my favorite ❤❤❤
the screen isn't ultimate. Ultimate had the ninjas Scorpion and Reptile
This music made me fear when I was a kid
Dam right love this shit this song gets me hyped up and my dog also
@gengarjetty I take back what I said about Subzero. This was one of the games where he didn't have a mask. He's second from the right on the middle row.
This might be my favorite character select theme. 2nd probably being Samurai Showdown 2.
Choose your destiny..
Clicks master...
You will never win!!!! Man I miss the old kombat games the music , the gameplay childhood
Shao Kahn’s voice was way more menacing than in the new games. As soon as you heard him you knew you were in for a fight for your life. The new Kahn’s voice just sounds like a constipated edgelord.
This character select screen still hurts me. What's MK without its rainbow ninja assassins
MK3 is probably hated on because SCORPION ISN’T IN THE GAME
I want the SNES Version of UMK3 because I love Rain and Noob Saibot.
The choir adds to the unholy feeling to the BGM.
This goes hard 🔥
It's weird how many people have these giant shadows on their eyes. I mean, I know it's not like they're passport photos, but it's...odd.
@felatioable lol! and Kano is Patrick Stewart, the guy that plays Charles xavier
Best MK of all time, barring MK9.
Kabal got his special-ed mask on
His winning pose alway reminded me of Carlton from Fresh Prince, lol idk why lol.
my favorite as a kid.
This and ki2 selection music kick ass
Stryker lookin like Will Ferrel
My favourite MK char select music! MK2 is just behind
Yes idk why I just left the gym and I had this main menu music in my head. I'm very stoned. Omg I should download the new mk
Sindel was my girl in this. Her combos were nasty when chained right.
The game that made me love Sheeva and Sindel.
Thank you god for bringing me to life so that I can experience this theme🙏
i still play this..... good times those.......
Que saudade de jogar isso 😅
