Back in the 90’s when I was but a wee lad, Mortal Kombat was this mystical taboo series I was not allowed to really experience. I would hear stories from it at school though. One kid described Reptile’s fatality, who one where he eats your head. Just the description alone was enough to give me a recurring nightmare of a reptilian creature coming to eat my head.
It's a shame Reptile seems to be nothing more than the MK punching bag in the games now, but I always enjoyed some of his fatalities. I always liked face chew from MK4, I never thought it would of fit Mileena more but I guess I can see that now. I also forgot about his fatalities where he vomits acid on the opponent. That was a good one in MK4, especially showing the skinned skeleton afterwards. Reptile seems to be one of the rare characters to have two good fatalities in that game IMO. Always liked him eating the person's head too. Even though I like all of those, I agree with #1 too. Putting an acid bubble in their belly and blowing their torso off was a great touch. This video reminded me how good Reptiles fatalities were, so I enjoyed this acid trip. Please give me Kitana, Mileena, or Jade next now! lol.
I reckon Reptile's Face Chew MK4 fatality was one of the easiest to remember and execute: Hold all attack buttons, move close, press up. I still remember it.
Finally someone have the same taste of Reptile design from Shaolin Monks. That design made me love Reptile, it stands between Reptilian and human form which is perfectly balanced. I'm glad that costume made it to Armageddon, too bad we'll never see it again.
Respectfully, I have to disagree on that triple chomp from Ultimate MK 3. I hated the way his face and cheeks stretched to almost his height across the screen to swallow, and having the arms still suspended after the upper torso was eaten was so annoying (Graphical limits, I know, but still) Not to mention the continued screaming even without lungs! :-) LOVED the remake head chomp, though... Seeing him pause for just a second to swallow the head whole and seeing his neck swell was a perfect little touch! Ahhh, the Klassic Armory trick! Loved how the head went *Crunch!* when he bites down and that "Mmmmm!" was just so perfect!
Here’s my Reptile finishers rankings. Always liked Reptile. He’s pretty cool with a unique move set 1. Tasty Meal (V) • I love this one. It’s quick, klassic, and brutal, just the way I like them. And it’s one of, if not the most unique decapitations in the series. Also it reveals that Reptile is indeed more than just some guy #neverhuman 2. Acid Puke (MK3) • This is so cool and threw me off guard. It’s so sudden and brutal. I love it. 3. Acid Bath (MKX) • This one is really good. Really really good. But…I HATE the hand twitching at the end lol. I really wish the entire body dissolved. 4. Weight Loss (MK9) • This one, though a bit extra, I do like. The use of the acid ball was a stand out 5. Inviso-Slice (V) • This is fine. Basic but I like it. Would work better as a brutality though. 6. Acidic Meal (MKDA) • This is good. I have no problems with it 7. Bad Breath (MKX) • This one is bad. Starts good but ends in a whimper. 8. Acid Yak (MK9) • This was really boring. I just don’t get it.Why not have the opponent melt from the inside? They had Smoke boil his opponent from the inside. 9. Extra Meal (MK3) • This is dumb. And why is the opponent screaming still lol. 10. Acid Puke (MK4) • this just looks silly. Why is Reptile flying? 11. Face Chew (MK4) • Feels like a Mileena fatality. 12. Claw Frenzy (MKSM) • This also feels like Mileena.
I think the two lowest ones are kind of cool They give off the vibe of a Raging Demon type move where you have no idea what he’s doing but the end result is awesome Maybe it’s just me but not knowing how he explodes their upper body is so badass
4:33 This fatality is basically just his boss fatality from Shaolin Monks but with an unnecessary extra step. We don't even get to really see the victim burn from inside out in either fatality, as in Shaolin Monks the camera pans to Reptile once his opponent falls to the ground and when it pans back we just see their skeleton. For a recreation it would've been nice to have seen the melted flesh slowly peeling off from the skeleton as a result of the corrosion, and the opponent violently throwing up trying to expel the acid from their system, but they ultimately collapse to the floor in a state looking like they had been dumped in the Dead Pool. Really a missed opportunity that would've made an otherwise sub-par finisher into something truly amazing.
I don't know if it was mentioned or not but there's a lore reason as to why Reptile looks more reptilian in later games. He starts to lose control of his true self over his homeworld being destroyed (plus him supposedly being the only survivor) during the war that leads into MK4/MK Gold. He eventually regains control of himself and returns to his more human looking self when he learns that there is one other survivor from Zaterra. This other survivor would be Khameleon.
Hi Nick, I have always liked Reptile and was a little disappointed when Eron Black was using his acid in MK 11. It clearly ment he wasn't to be in the game. Still maybe he will be in MK 12. I enjoyed this list. Not sure which is my favourite but I do like your top pick. Keep up the good work.
Reptile is one of the most tragic and sympathy Characters in the Franchise,all he wnts it to revived his Species but the Emperor,Sorcerer,and the Writers of the Franchise doesn't explore this opportunity,either way his a Fan Favorite and one of the reasons why the Ninjas are the best,his Story,Acid,Invisibility,Tounge,and Evolution makes him a interesting Character and all of his Fatalities are really Great and Underrated,I truly hope and pray that Zcisar and the Saurians/Zetterans return in the next Game or in a Remake of the first Games,also have you seen the Character Design in the Support Cards in MK Mobile,he looks awesome and we could have had him in MK11 but I guess we just have to wait and see.
It is tragic but I honestly don’t think they ever will explore that further simply because it makes Reptile so much less unique. Although I think one way to prevent that would be to introduce lots of different species within the Saurians. Like you can have Chameleon represent a different species of mimic based Saurians. Then have a another species of hulking, crocodilian Saurians. Perhaps even a more human like version of the Saurians that basically appear human aside from reptilian eyes as a reference to reptiles original design. They can be depicted as more civilized ambassadors to other realms. Honestly just make Reptile king of Zaterra, give my mans his respect lol
@@xaviersanchez3498 If Tarkatans can be explored the Saurians could work as well if not better,MK11 had that chance but NRS treated like it was not,I do love your Idea Reptile could be their King with Khameleon as his Queen at his side.
It’s cool watching this like almost one day after they revealed reptile for Mortal Kombat one. this video came out a year ago Anyone else watching now😅.
There is still one more og MK1 character you haven't covered. Goro. He doesn't have many fatalaties as a playable character but they do exist. Maybe you can do a Boss character episode (characters like Shao Kahn, Goro, Motaro ect.) since they probably don't have enough finishers to give each of them an episode.
The reason the MK3 fatality was so dope to me because they showed reptile was a man of class. He ate every part of the body but the left the feet whole lol he won’t stoop down to that level
Hahahaha go to like 9:08 and listen to the sound they gave for when reptile tears triborg’s head off, at about 9:10! I actually laughed when I noticed it/noticed it’s the noise they gave for a head coming off! “BWUP!”
I love ed boon and the team, but man, they sure did massacre my boy. He was a badass from the second he appeared in MK1, mysterious and deadly. Once shinnok went all scanners on the poor guy in his MK4 ending, that was pretty much all she wrote. Since then we've gotten various designs of an iguana that loses all the time lol
WOW the editing surely Has improved from the first few Also what’s your least favorite Charter that most people like People love sector but I was never been a big fan of him.
The Invisi-slice/Hidden Chomp is awful, but I will forever respect the people who made the newest Mortal Kombat Project version of it. Basically, he turns invisible, then first the head disappears in a cloud of gibs, then the torso, and then you have Reptile turn visible again with a "yummy" sound. It klooks less lazy, and you understand what happened much better.
I liked both of his fatalities from MK II, and I liked his humanoid form than his reptilian form. I know you didn't like the first fatality from MK II; however, you have to understand back in the day those games was on cartridge could only hold so much and back then they the developers had time constraints on the game.
You’re right about the MK11 Acid Fatality. If Reptile just kept on spewing acid into his opponent, it could have created a pretty cool fatality.
reptile isnt in mk11

Ok so from here on out let’s refer to the 2011 remake as MKIX( IX is the roman numeral for 9)

In the fatality at 10:47,when it ends I can only imagine him saying “ooooooh crunchy”
When I cover another character who eats people, I’ll add that. Sound good?

They give off the vibe of a Raging Demon type move where you have no idea what he’s doing but the end result is awesome
Maybe it’s just me but not knowing how he explodes their upper body is so badass
finally! so glad to see his fatalities ranked on this show, good work!

I appreciate these videos a lot. Mortal Kombat content is dry right now and you’re keeping me sane.
Thank you very much, Cash! That means a lot to me. With MK2 confirmed and rumors of MK12, I have more coming!

Thank you, Rex! That just made my night better!
Reptile is my favorite character and your list of his fatalities, I couldn't agree more!

Reptile is The My All Time Favorite Charachter he will always be my Main.

About timeeeeeeee 💝
Hopefully the waiting was worth it!
I always wondered why whenever you performed MK2 Reptile’s tongue lash fatality in the armory stage, the floor becomes a conveyor belt. 🤔
I believe it’s a glitch with that stage in particular. It happened when Max and the Doods did Rate the Super on MK2.
@@the_NNPW that's how I found your channel
Great video!! Tbh reptiles finishers leave a lot to be desired. Just seem unimaginative
It seems like they tried playing it safe and remade the finishers.
I feel like most of reptiles moves fall into 2 categories,
1. Melt part of body
2. Eat part of body
He hungry
I'm actually a big fan of the Deadly Alliance design. But, man, everything from MK4 looks like a glitch.
I was waiting for this🤩🤩🤩🤩
Hopefully it was worth the wait!
@@the_NNPW it definitely was love the kontent
I LOVE REPTILE HES ONE OF MY FAVORITES MAN THANKS FOR THIS FATALITY RANKING !
I was waiting for this one
Happy to hear!
This makes me want to sit on my tv and watch my couch
I understand the "I'm trying to think of an acid pun, but there all to basic." pun. I really like science and that was funny!
I really hope my man comes back in the next game, him and Rain are my favorites
Him and tremor
The puns are getting better and better 😂
Happy to hear someone actually likes them!
I just wanna say that background song is amazing
9:03 I'm melting! I'm MEEEELTIIIIING! Oh, what a world, what a world!
Reptile's number one finisher is just badass
I agree! It’s a blast!
great list
I love how his number two ranked fatality, he rubs his tummy after eating the head.
It’s a great little detail that makes it so memorable!
I think Reptile is better off as a henchman than a main villain. He’s no Boba Fett, but a cool henchman at least.
6:51 ok imagine this finisher with modern graphics. The brutality and gore would be 10 fold.
Oh yeah. I can see it now!
Criminally underrated as a character
Hahahaha go to like 9:08 and listen to the sound they gave for when reptile tears triborg’s head off, at about 9:10! I actually laughed when I noticed it/noticed it’s the noise they gave for a head coming off! “BWUP!”
Always happy to see one of these videos come out! Can’t wait for Jax and Mileena!
I agree with number one on the list that fatality is the best from Reptile
It’s so creative and unique! Glad we can agree!
Reptile: Covers face using acid ball 🤓
Stryker: stands 2 feet away opponent back turned waiting for it to explode 🗿
You can clearly tell who’s cares about their own safety.
Great video keep up the great work. I just really hope reptile is awesome in mk 12 if he is in unlike the recent games
I miss Reptile I haven’t seen Reptile since Mortal Kombat X and I hope he will return in Mortal Kombat 12
My favorite Reptile finisher is the one that Erron Black uses
Too soon…
very punny video, i love it! 😁
Thank you very much, Doc!
Reptile was such a sick character. I would kill for him to be back
Definitely agree with number 1.
That basic pun got me
I always loved number six because it was the first fatality that i remember seeing as a kid
Nice video as always. It wasn´t basic.
Haha, I see what you did there!
MK4's face chew is actually the first fatality i ever managed to pull off
Yes thx so much for this Reptile is my favorite character so thx so much. Also the costume idea is great but my question is how would u handle mk 11 ?
I know many people love him a lot, so I had to deliver this one for you all!
For the costume ranking and MK11, I’m not sure. That’s a tricky one.
12:37 - acid joke:
"Man reflux is a bitch, ain't it?"
His worst "Hidden Chop" was a secret Brutality in MKX. Little trivia.
I do agree with your point of view too.
Well now this list is making me hungry 🤣
I guessed the 1 spot correctly! Yay ^_^
Can you do Mileena or Kitana?
Your my fav youtuber

My favorite Reptile Fatality of all time is Weight Loss from MK9
6:06 my man be looking like red skull
I wish I could play as reptile it would be fun to see what his finisher would of been but we have to wait for the next game
WOW the editing surely Has improved from the first few
Also what’s your least favorite Charter that most people like
People love sector but I was never been a big fan of him.
Thank you very much, Noose!
My least favorite popular character, hmm. I don’t really know. That’s a hard one.
one of my favs is the i think it’s mk2-3 one where he spits the acid pool on top of them and they become a skeleton
Do a ranking of every mortal kombat stage fatality
Also include the death traps from deception and Armageddon

Shaolin Monks reptile is the best design in MK
I like this main design, but I love his alternate skin.
Rank 1 is just a remake of rank 15. But now we see how he blows up the body.
This is how you improve on an original finisher. It also incorporates more Reptile characteristics too!
Whoa, whoa, whoa… You can play reptile, and Shaolin monks outside of versus mode? How do I not know this, I’ve beaten the game many times.
What happen to his "Fatalities" from MK1. He was the only character with 2 fatalities. lol.
My fav is the same as yours only because he dabs after your opponent explodes
I actually like the mk deadly alliance design. Its my favorite
I said it before the video started the MK9 when he poses and blasts them in half has to be number 1 😂
Now that you did reptile you should do ermac to get more ninjas in there
I’d like to get the full squad covered soon!
i liked the one where reptile ate the head then the body then the legs. idk why that hasnt been remastered
