- My Mortal Kombat review, technically Mortal Kombat 9 review, kicks off the first episode for Video Games at the Movies month! A month were I'll be completed games that have been adapted into feature films, starting with Mortal Kombat. Now this entry into the franchise is the one that turned everything around in 2011. Classic characters, story mode that time travels, revamped fighting system, and a great tag system. Let's jump into this popular fighting game!
Let me know what you thought about my Mortal Kombat review!

I wish I could have shown the fatalities in this game in all of their glory! Which fatality throughout the entire series has been your favorite?
The Completionist probably make a wish by Noob.
Is it weird to feel nostalgia for watching someone rip the spinal column out of their opponent?
PLEASE DO A REVIEW OF GOLDENEYE FOR N64!!!
You know Gerard, while the stripper dance taunts ARE a bit much, there's actually some ACTUALLY decent reasons the women characters wear such skimpy outfits; first off, they don't restrict the wearer's movement, and second, they're much BETTER for CONSERVING the essential stamina, as they're a MINIMAL amount of dead weight on their body, that allows body heat that'd otherwise be RETAINED, to VENT, and the wind they make by moving so fast to touch their skin; BOTH of which allow them to keep cool while fighting.
So now that you know that there's actually a LOGICAL, NON fanservice oriented reason for them to wear them, maybe you can allow yourself to ENJOY seeing the women characters wear those skimpy outfits.
We've all had about 10 years to see them. it's all good, bro.

"This is the first MK with a cinematic story mode"
Mk vs Dc: Am i a joke to you?
Yes, you are.
Oh come on! MK vs DC wasn’t THAT bad.
@@monsterhunter66 Mk vs Dc is actually really special to me, it was my introducción to the Mk series and I loved beating the story mode, I also loved the idea of 2 totally different series getting together in one game, that comment was just as a joke xD.
mk mythologies though...….
Lets not have "am i a joke to you" jokes in 2020. Lets be better.....cause those jokes werent funny at any point.
@@bonnjust4001 Sub Zero turning into a hero in the shadows after being influenced by batman hit all the right spots for me.
Jax: This is not a Brutality, this, is a FATALITY.
Text: ABSOLUTE BRUTALITY.
Welp, I guess Jax was wrong.
I'll turn off the Adblock... Over my dead body that is.
(Jarek screams)
@@truindividual me screaming: I regret nothinnnnnnnngggg!!

True Story: after I worked on this game (my name is in the credits) and got my copy, I went to a Childish Gambino show. Donald Glover autographed my copy of MK9.

yall(developers)did freakin great on the game!
That Patreon ad was honestly one of the best things I've seen in years aside from the original scene its spoofing. Bravo.
And my favorite fruit is orange. And I'm waving back. Take care, Jirard!
FINALLY Jirrard completes a Mortal Kombat Game would love to see him Complete Mortal Kombat X Mortal Kombat 11, Injustice Gods Among Us, and Injustice 2
Sonic- sama2002 mk11 and injustice 2 are a bit of a sketchy completion because it’s all just krypt rng and waiting for the right towers to show up to get the shit you don’t have
That’s definitely a realistic expectation from a person 🤦♂️
MK11? No thanks, if MK9 doesn’t respect your time, MK11 doesn’t even believe you a human
NowiTheDragonLoli I platinumed it in like 3 days lol
Lol. MK11 is MUCH MUCH easier to complete. You have to play it less. And there are only about 3 trophies that are somewhat Grindy. You can literally put the A.I to play out and they will basically get half the trophies.
I never thought I see the day finally Kompleted
i aprecciate the effort and detail of that Patreon ad, for me it's a Completionist highlight
The title made me think it was the original MK
C24U same
Yeah, there definately should've been a little more in the title
Well the thumbnail uses the modern scorpion look so I think it’s fair
But what would you even have to complete for OG MK?
Each character through Arcade Mode? Each Fatality? Trying to Unlock Reptile? 👀
I thought it was one of the early 3D games
This is easily my favourite Mortal Kombat of all time ❤️
Facts!
I'm so disappointed Jirad didn't reprise the "IM SO GAYYYY" scream Jarek made during the "undiscovered patreon ad" portion.
Simple Answer for that, TH-cam would have performed a Demonitzality
I’m a little worried Jirard doesn’t know I’m waving.
Hit that reset button? Well, Ed Boon did it TWICE now with mk11 story epilogue
You couldn't make an argument that it has happened a lot
Yeah, but its probably not going to be a 100% reboot like 9 was.
I feel that is different though. MK9 was retelling the original story.. MK12 will start a brand new story. It was the conclusion of the trilogy MK9, MKX and MK12.. now it's time for a new story. I'm ok with that.
@@thiagovidal6137 ditto
@@thiagovidal6137 Kitana as Khan, Sub-Zero and Scorpion as besties, Jaqui replacing Jax. All thrown away. So I'm sceptical about how mk12 will handle it. Despite being long ways to go before then
"Stop over sexualizing all female characters" meanwhile literally every male character is ripped like they're auditioning for Mr. Universe, and has a 6 pack you wash laundry on.
Oh, the irony.
Sexy girls: ew, no!
Buffed shirtless guys: yeah, okay.
Cymo NET but muh male power fantasy tho
Games like this show how the Completionist journey just isn’t as applicable to competitive games. Being a Completionist is in many ways a solo endeavor, so fighters and others that see their greatest utility in multiplayer will have a harder time meeting the mark almost by design. The completion experiment has value to be sure, it just doesn’t surprise me that games like this are less worth the full price of completion, especially when the arbitrary 50 achievement rule stands to produce some pretty funky hurdles that as you said gauge the lifetime of the game as opposed to marathon playtime. Reminds me of Skyrim for similar reasons. Well played though.
I'm such a big MK fan thank you so much for playing MK Jirared!!!!
Also sorry for the grind you went through I'll agree with you on that. ITS NOT FUN.
Yeah I love Mario kart
@@dad4436 bad Dad joke.
Cutscenes that string together fights.
Injustice: "Allow us to introduce ourselves."
Gotta disagree with the sexualized female characters. It's not outdated thinking its just a want for sexy skimpy female characters. Oh well.
The problem mostly comes that the character design is super lazy. If you compare the MK11 girls with the MK9 girls, the costumes for MK11 are better by a mile.
Just saying, the recreation of Jarek's scream was just perfect. Actually, nice voice acting all around!
I wonder if Jirard actually cares what everyone's favorite fruit is- well joke's on him, I don't really like fr- banans are pretty good though.
Working on the music for this episode taught me that no matter how old and decrepit you are, you always age better than 90's techno.
This'll have lots of likes very soon.
That undiscovered patreon ad was goddamn glorious.
The grind Jirrard did to complete this game is legendary. My favorite fruit is raspberries!
I love MK: Annihilation in all of its weird, hokey b-movieness.
Rich it’s so bad it’s good imo
My favourite fruit is coconut. Also, I was waving at the screen as you were waving at me. Did you know that?
Your dedication to completing a game is unmatched. You’re the man Jirard!
More like setting himself up for disappointment. There's a few games I've hundred percent completed just due to it being a really good really fun game but forcing yourself to complete every game in the end makes you despise the game. There's a few games that are really good that he's played that he ended up disliking because of the tedious repetitive tasks he has to do just to complete the game. He sets him self up for disapointment
This is still my favorite MK game. I was saddened that the more modern ones removed the tag battles. One Saturday afternoon, I and five of my other friends played the story mode and passed the controller after each fight. The story mode was actually good and went back through some of the best fights in the series past. It almost felt like you didn't have to replay the old ones just to get the whole story, because of the way they had you play through the franchises history. Yes, the story could get a bit cheesy but it was to be expected from a story based on fighting. I had a lot of great memories and hours with this game, and the Mk games since this one haven't been as fun for me or my friends.
Mk9 is a lot to complete. MK11:Hold my blood chalice
@9:46
Couldn't disagree more Jirard, Sheeva is great when all sexy as such. Make pp turgid.
Yeah he almost had a point there, he was ALMOST reasonable
but that 'outdated thinking' line lost me.
Jirrard is a racist who doesn't like Shokans. They can be sexy too!
Shokans are as much people as Tarkatans.
Wait... Aren't they?
Anyway, I totally agree with you.
She fucking warrior queen going to battle if your not 12 years old it's stupid
You pepole are just mad becuase horny losers who can't talk to human beings much less women
@@addex1236 you are getting all bent out of shape because of the depiction of a fictional she beast. Calm the fuck down buddy. All I said was that I thought she was sexy when Jirard implied that she wasn't.
1:55 My God, the Gainaxing on Li Mei there is hilarious.
This game gets a 1/10 for the god damn jump scare that happens when you are in the crypt
"it has a little something for everyone"
MC MAYONNAISE
It doesn’t give you wood??
Nice to see you complete a game that is hard to 100%. Now to see you complete a rhythm game or two since they're typically hard to beat if you're a completionist and preferably the easier to complete ones such as the Persona Dancing games.
I remember trying to complete all the achievements. Then I stopped doing drugs and pears
That's how Johnny C. do, baby! That's how Johnny C. do!
boobs: *exist*
Jirard: *banshee scream*
alphacino 😂
All he said was that he found the costumes a bit outdated. He didn't say he thought boobs were bad
It makes sense for Kitana, Jade, Mileena, Sindel and Skarlet to dress like that because of Outworld's culture. That said, there's no reason for Sonya to be wearing a cutoff police vest with no undershirt or bra. I also think Sheeva should be wearing a bit more (armor and stuff), like in her alternate costume
Millina shows cleavage: YOU CAN’T SHOW THAT!
Blood and gore, extreme violence, Liu Kang and Jax fully shirtless: that’s all fine!
Sexy girls: it's a dumb early 2000's design, unnecessary and stupid.
Ultra buff and unrealistic/shirtless guys: this is fine.
Virtue signal alert around 10:00
🤣
Or, y’know, actually thinking it’s gratuitous.
I feel your pain, Jirard. When I Komplete games, I DON’T wanna leave the game running for weeks on end.
I've always wanted that you complete Mortal kombat armageddon on the show, well this is close enough
well completing armageddon is super easy tho, simply finding all 60 relics in konquest mode unlocks literally everything in game
Well he could technically skip it by getting all the kollectibles in Konquest.
@@Rad-Dude63andathird a short and sweet episode, why not?
Ha. I remember meeting you and Alex at my local con back in i wanna say 2015 or 16. I told you I completed this game and how long it took and Alex suggested you do this game. I remember your reply being "Are you crazy? Did you not hear how long this man took?!"
Keep on going good Jirard. You rock.
Netherrealm: Proud of series history.
Also Netherrealm: Retcons Sindel so hard she's a different character entirely, after already retconning her.
Oh relax it’s not that bad
@@jacksithlord1301 Character used to be a brainwashed hero, killed herself to get away from Shao Kahn. Now is full on evil, killed her own husband to get with Shao Kahn and is arguably the most despicable character in the franchise.
That's a pretty massive retcon, coming after they already retconned her two games ago. Doesn't seem like they are proud of her history if they turned her into the polar opposite of what she was for the rest of the franchise.
I thought the retcon actually made her more interesting
Jirard: Tell me your favorite fruit, I wanna know, mines, is strawberries
Me: Jirard a strawberry is a berry, not a fruit
Berries are a type of fruit óo Unless wikipedia is lying to me.
Anyway, mine is watermelon.
Game/Film wishlist:
Silent Hill
Doom II or Doom 2016
The next Resident Evil to be completed
Uncharted: Lost Legacy (I hope the film gets finished one day)
Hitman 2016
Max Payne
EDIT: So far, Max Payne was right lol. I thought he already did Uncharted 4, which is why I said Lost Legacy (which I still hope he does), but it looks like he’s doing Uncharted 4.
I'm surprised he hasn't done Doom 2016 yet, maybe he'll do it in the lead up to the release of Doom Eternal? The single player achievements are a breeze save for 1 or 2 hard ones, and the online stuff is tough, but with his crew/fans really shouldn't be much trouble.
Rob Noire Gaming he did DOOM 1993 before, so I’m guessing he’ll do DOOM II next.
Don’t forget Turok. He’s got his own movie now too. Look it up.
I knew he was going to have a bad time with this one. SO MUCH CONTENT
I am getting ready for the Mortal Kombat Movie!
That is a crazy amount of work, well done, man!
How convenient, I was just watching your Cuphead episode...
WHERE IS IT?
@@zeo9445 On his channel.
Thank you for not just fanboying out for this game, I feel like people don't often look at it objectively. And thank you viewers for not automatically downvoting this review... there is hope in this world!
Shirtless dudes: ok.
Women showing some skin: "outdated thinking"
... what?
Exactly! So tired of hearing this nowadays
He's a cuk
Couldn't disagree more about the story mode. It is the benchmark for fighting games. Absolutely incredible.
Jirard please Complete the Megaman Zero/ ZX Legacy Collection. But do each game individually like you did with the classic series.
*waves*
Look at me, I'm a cute strawberry
A very very lovely strawberry
If you're shy you can sing sing along with me
(tralalalala!)
We will do our own ad! What are you taking about!? Lmao I couldn’t stop laughing.
Missed oppertunity for: Finish it!
I feel like Tekken 6 & 7 are VERY fair with their achievements. This sounds like a grrrrrrind. Good game but good lord
edgeyberzerker it’s not a difficult grind. Just a long one. Just get a 18 pack of bud light and a bottle of jack. Put on a podcast while the old lady reads a book
Tekken games are real fun to complete. So, I certainly agree.
I wanted to Komplete MK9 before starting MK11 but I'm glad I watched this. And your patreon commercial is an 200/10.
Jarard: Can’t show gore.
Also Jarard: Leaves the acid melted, flame roasted bodies in.
Jeff Burt never heard of Jarard.
It's the red blood that flags the algorithim and the YT bots, that other stuff is apparently "ok"
6:40 thats how I reacted when I first saw noobs first fatality. Shudders in Earthrealm. I still get chills thinking about it.
I loved this game at launch and i played it for a few years after. One of my first competitive fighting games, and i met some really cool friends from it. Easily a Finish it, at least, but i can see play it because you burned yourself out on those cheevos.
And Kiwis are the go to fruit, strawberry and banana being close seconds 🥝🍓🍌
brett's "whatareyoutalkingabout?!" at 3:54 is perfect
Anytime I caught you saying a word starting with "c," I mentally changed it to a "k."
A lot of the newer characters from the 3D Era don't deserve the hate they get. There were a lot of cool ones. They just needed to be handled better.
THE ALGORITHM....LIVES ON.
My god. My sides.
Wow this was a grueling challenge and congrats on getting it done. I hope the next game is more laid back on the stress side. My favorite fruit are apple :3
seriously Jirard we're going to harp on sexy costumes. Please leave the woke politics out of the review, games are art they can look how ever the creators want.
This. Getting tired of puritanical moral busy bodies dictating how characters are supposed to look. Let sexy be sexy damnit.
Ok incel
I actually thought you'd done a MK game before. WOW. Didn't realize that. Kool.
Mortal Kombat 2 will always be my favorite.
UMK3 for me.
That ad... was amazing!
Edit: Favourite fruit?
Gonna have to go with grapes. Because if you have a bad apple or pear, you’re stuck with a bad fruit. If a grape is bad, you move on to the next.
Grapes are the fruit... of hope.
6:03 I thought the pit was in earthrealm? On Shang tsungs island
Its called a comedy bit your over thinking it
The Jarek/ Sonya segment was awesome LOL!!!
10:37 Didn't MK vs. DC Universe also had a cinematic story mode?
it did, it's actually the beginning of the modern Netherealm Studios way of setting up their story modes. He can dislike it all he wants but it's the story modes that people like best about these games as far as the general audience is concerned.
@@princeblackelf4265 as a huge MK fan it's the reason I buy these games day 1.
I love these games story modes and while not perfect. They're still fun and get the job done.
@@princeblackelf4265 Netherrealms make the best story modes. all other fighting games are playing catchup
Id say Deceptions story mode was pretty cinematic. Still my favorite MK story mode so far. But I have yet to play Shaolin Monks.
We don't talk about that trash
Thank you for another great episode!
The Smosh flashbacks are real.
Shut up spoony
Complaining about the women being over sexualized without mentioning the men being over sexualized fits the current climate of not upsetting the cancel culture folk. If you're going to defend one side at least defend both.
Before I even watch this, I refuse to believe you got the “My kung fu is stronger” achievement legitimately within a week. Absolutely no way in hell.
At the end of the video he says it took him a month to complete it.
I love this channel, but I'm skeptical about this whole thing as well.
For the skeptical people, he doesn't just start a game from the beginning of week, he rarely does. He will play most of his time on a certain game he's focussed one, but he definitely does prep work or just general playing before that. Take a look at his FFX video where he (sort off) talks about this.
Doom,far cry, max payne, resident evil, silent hill, tomb raider, hitman, street fighter, need for speed, assassins creed, prince of Persia, and... sonic. Those are all video games that have movies.
"Video Games at the Movies Month?" So, there's the Warcraft movie, are you going to complete WOW?
lol id like to see that rofl
Impossible much?.maybe warcraft 3 :3
Warcraft 3 what with Reforged launching... oh wait it's a trash fire lmao
@@jakejutras5420 I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out the game was too broken to complete all the Completionist criteria. So if anything, he'd probably do OG Warcraft 3. Maybe the original Warcraft?
omegagilgamesh you can’t play the original Warcraft 3 anymore
I loved playing the game when I was younger at the Movie Theater. And the Movies are my favourites. So when I almost lost my second son at birth. I named him after my favourite fighter. This series is special to me. Love the video!
Is he called Johnny Cage? 😂
@@visionaeon No not Johnny. But thanks for guessing.
MK9 still has my favorite version of Jade. She is just stunning.
That fucking Diddy Kong sampling on the MK track had me rolling!🤣🤣🤣
Movie month? 20 bucks says King Kong is next
Well he said games that have been adapted into movies, not the other way around.
@@Rad-Dude63andathird plus that game has like... 5 achievements that you get for beating one of the easiest games in recent memory. not much to "COMPLETE"
Doom just got a new movie, I'd like to see Doom 2016
Silent Hill
@@nottoday9182 I second this.
Doom 2016 for completionist.
Yall people only ever complain about sexualized women in video games when men are just as sexualized, rippling muscles taking of the shirts whenever possible, it's not only women.
Other than how fatalities were handled, Mortal Kombat Armageddon was the BEST Mortal Kombat. When Jirrard says it had every character, he means it. Its also the only Mortal Kombat with a Kreate a fighter mode. There was also an awesome Mario- esque racing game and tetris style puzzle game. Both are fun as hell.
The fatalities may have been bland but every character had several fighting stances unique to that fighter, many with their own weapon. Combos were unique to each of the 70+ charaters, plus their special move.
When it comes to fatalities i found and of the combos that included ripping off the enemies arms and beating them with them, was a good enough finisher for me.
Omg please do the next 2 as well
MK is my favorite fighting game ever and MK9 is probably my all time favorite one in the franchise. But it's mostly the nostalgic roster.
Each subsequent game has really improved the fighting (especially the way those combos work)
"and the were 1 freddy krueger as a guest charactere
Jarek's freaking laugh 🤣🤣🤣
The voices 😁
I very much dissagree with a lot of what you say
Yeah the game sucks lol
10:45 - MK vs DC was the first Mortal Kombat game with a cinematic story mode.
Holy shit Jirard ! I never bothered with the Necropolis, I did those only with Sub-Zero. This is a good game but I will never complete it.
Also I like the second Mortal kombat movie as well, yeah they both are very cheesy but still.
I realy liked the "I WILLNOT PAY"! haha.
The tower gets difficult. Took me some to beat the four goro's with one life.
I hope you complete Shark Tales. I want to know if its actually good or is it just nostalgia.
Form your own opinion, zoomer.
Normally these ad segways feel pretty 'meh.'
This one was brilliantly done and just the right amount of camp to the video. XD
HEY! HEY!! I, for one, enjoyed the sexiness with my violence. I don't care about the why. More of that is more than welcomed. Very upset when they were clothed in X and 11.
Banana wave. And thanks for completing this game so we don't have to. You have saved the world from a lot of pain.
Be honest when he mentioned sponsorships you were expecting Raid Shadow Legends
Best in-video advertisement ever. The MK4 ending dub was so frickin funny.
For a guy that "completes games" for a living he sure does moan a lot about it..
You ever have to do something and it annoys tf out of you doing it? Thats how it feels
That commercial/ad was great, so fun
Hello, empty comments section. 🙂
"30.....days" you can hear that pain in his voice holy shit
