These old arcade ganes are better playing against a real person. Arcades games' main goal was to take your tokens. We did it because it was a whole experience., especially when the graphics were the best around. It looks goofy now, but it blew our minds that we were playing as real people.
100%, I wanted to play it with friends but none of my friends want to play it, and I should have mentioned it in the video but my parents told me about the time they took my oldest brother to the arcade and they were insanely impressed with the graphics, for its time it’s honestly cool what they managed to do
@STEELE not just playing with friends, but doing so with strangers in a public setting was exciting, especially when it was all new. A lot of us didn't know fatalities, so when someone good would do one, it was like whoa. There was kind of a competitive pressure to not suck that rivals online competitive gaming. I'm glad I was just old enough to experience the last great age of arcades before ticket redemption games became the only draw. Also, in the 90's and I'm guessing earlier, arcade machines were everywhere. I miss that. Like the movie theater, restaurants, laundromats, etc. often had at least one game. Fuck I had a lot of typos in my last reply lol.
Yeah, the arcade versions are amazing, but only if you're playing against real players Like MK 2, is just straight up ZERO fun playing against the A.I. You can ONLY beat it by cheese'ing the A.I. for every match after the 3rd or 4th, since the A.I. literally cheats; it's the worst A.I. in the history of fighting games, by a mile. So it's just simply not fun. You want to be able to play the game how it's designed to be played, not by using exploits. So MK 2 is just absolute shit for single player, and is the worst game in the whole series in that regard. But playing MK 2 with a friend, that makes it the best MK game in the series in that regard Thank God for FightCade; it's so awesome being able to play against other people online, in the arcade version. Plus the leader boards and tournaments. Epic stuff
The fact that a good chunk of the video is just devoted to ranting about MK12's current name (as well as the naming convention for the new trilogy) fills me with immense cathartic joy.
i’ve seen some people online call it “mortal 1 kombat” and abbreviate it as “m1k” bc of the title on the cover and tbh the nickname has grown on me lmao
Just know that the game was challenging back in 1992 as well. Most of us arcade player in the days literally spend hundreds of quarters just to beat Goro and Shang Tsung and even after that we still had to beat our friends too.
i played the home conversions the most. mk2 on snes probably has most hours on it. my friends hated when id say 'lets play mk2!' they aslo insisted i stop playing as shang tsung. then id do slightly less good as someone else. they didnt seem to understand how shang tsung works😂🤣
Yeah I actually grew up playing this back in the day in the arcade. It was a quarter muncher for sure...until you figured out how to cheese the AI. That's just kinda how these old midway games were. 93 octane cheese.
@@steele1 4 out of 10? Tarded. The fun is playing another person with same skill set. Comparing a 40 year old game to later games is just dumb. That and all your cryin' shows just how much the game aged well. It was a dark unique experience that still holds up because of excellent gameplay. Now the sequals are just cheesy dial a combo with terrible stories and reactions with super slow gameplay. Real combos are not so easy to pull off. Try Sonya square wave Raideen superman shut down for a prime example. Also if you are playing on a gamepad as opposed to a standup which was how it was designed....well that is just being a sissy. No wonder you are cussing.
I appreciate the inclusion of the unfiltered rage. Not even because it's humorous, but because that's exactly what old MK games make you feel. People who say games can't be frustrating have never played them; especially not the MK arcade games.
its futile getting this angry its cringe,the games are literally designed to cheat,the AI is literally reading your moves,it also can grab without going though any animations,just instant...the game is rigged and if you try to fight normally you will struggle,you have to cheese the AI and you can only do that by understanding the AI and how its coded he was sperging cause he couldnt understand how goro seemed to always know when he was jump kicking forward and then getting blocked and then insta grabbed,its cause its coded that way infact all the 3 1st games are pretty much coded the same,let you win the 1st 3 fights then BTFO out of you.
Mk (9) is technically a reboot from the 1992 version. Technology in video games have came along way. The reason why MK (9) was technically a reboot, because it's the same story line, however Raidens medallion was the whole key to everything. Ed Boon wanted to have the newer generation revisit the 1992 version with an expansion with MK2, and MK3 within the mix.
@@skippythealien9627 They should've called Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) Mortal Kombat Rebirth because it's a reboot and people wouldn't confuse it with the original Mortal Kombat 1.
80's, 90's the golden era of games. So funny to see the new generation try beat the games we grew up with 😅. Mate those machines took all the money but was the challenge of trying to beat it.
Dude, listening to you shout about how hard the game is and how much you hate losing reminds me of every time I play this game 🤣🤣🤣 thank you for this video
Just this past summer I was helping my uncle get the original Mortal Kombat up and running on his PC over the phone. He was so happy when it started working. And then the rest of the conversation was him yelling and cursing and me dying laughing at him going back to it. I tried to tell him in advance it sucked now but he eventually ended up laughing too.

The problem with classic fighting games like the mortal Kombat trilogy and the classic street fighter games is the AI. Devs wanted us insert as many quarters as possible so they could make money. These games were fun against other players at the arcade, if you know how to play. You obviously couldn't get better by playing these games in single player mode because of the AI.
I think the fairest AI I ever played against was Samurai Shodown IV (maybe with the exception of the final battle against your rival whose difficulty was turned up to 11). It almost never felt cheap and winning felt earned, not lucky
The original 1992 mortal kombat game is like looking at cave paintings now . Game is over 30 years old its a relic / classic. Bonus points for the snes donkey kong country music.
Yeah it's about nostalgia for me. I'll never forget the shock of how gritty it was, seeing it at age 7. The stages were so cool too. I loved the copses scattered in the pit and the bones in goro's lair. I'd be bored to tears playing it now. Hell even the sega Genesis version pissed me off when I was a kid. The technology was so lame and my attention to detail was kinda high. A clean pit, the sub zero fatality looked super corny (in the arcade/pc versions your enemies head is facing the screen with a look of terror but the sega rendition it was turned and the spine was too white and plain), Kano's heart rip looked like he's pulling out your gal blatter, and blood alone just isn't enough. Oh and one more bullshit number example is Xbox "1".
If you wanna see me play through MK2 and the rest of the MK games as well, drop a sub so you don’t miss it! I really appreciate all the support on this video and I thank everyone who has given me the time of day and watched this video ❤
I totally feel ya P.S. you should've just gotten Mame and played the original Arcade version that way. Takes like 4 minutes. WAY easier than the hoops you had to jump through for this version
The big problem with old MK's AI players is that they're not reacting to your character's actions based on what's visual. They're reacting as your inputs register, with no delay or anything that would at least pretend to have some kind of normal humanlike reflexes. The moment you input a Shadow Kick, the AI instantly knows you're doing a Shadow Kick. The difficulty setting just adjusts its chances of actually doing the "correct" reaction.
the real mk died at mk3, everything else is just a new revamped fighting game using the mk characters calling it mk deception, Armageddon etc for the new age. true mk players stopped at umk3 trilogy or mk2, or mk1 way more original. this is why there are so many fan made mugen classic mk games that is on going, like mk2 remix or mk 2 plus, umk3 plus on mame, they miss the real feel of mk. mk died a long time ago, i used to be a top mk2 player back in the early 90's.
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Not Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate. It made sense at the time of release. I will agree they really messed up the names after MK4, for the PS2 era. It was really hard to figure out the sequence of the games unless you were really into the MK. Which at that time was the dark ages for the series. No one cares about MK between 4-9. I’m actually surprised it made such a strong come back and didn’t go under. They did a great job with 9 and got everyone rehooked on it.
11:36 With Sub-Zero you always can have 2 hits combo wich opponent will be unable to block it. After each succesful diagonal jump kick or uppercut you have to add slide immediatelly (low punch + block + low kick togather). So most powerful sequence for him is to 1.freeze +2.uppercut+3.jump kick(sometimes can be blocked)+4.slide (can not be blocked if previous attack was succesful)
Oh man i feel you on that kano and goro battle lol takes me back that had me rolling laughing though. Enjoying the mortal kombat videos always been a big fan definitely got a sub and likes from me.
Thanks for giving it a shot. Tbh it seems easier to go back to than some PS1 games lolol I would love to see you try the original Laura Croft Tomb Raider haha.
You forgot to mention Mortal Kombat Trilogy, which was the final updated version of Mortal Kombat 3, which was never in the arcades. You also forgot to mention Mortal Kombat Advance and Ultimate Mortal Kombat for the GBA and the Nintendo DS, which was Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on the GBA and the DS. There is also Mortal Kombat: Unchained for the Sony PSP and other Mortal Kombat games that you can look up on the internet.
Mortal Kombat XL is actually 40 in Roman numbers, it is actually a look into how the future of the franchise will look, thankfully they didn't make a version of Trilogy named "Mortal Kombat 64" tho, because it would've been chronologically the last.
This game is like the Model-T Ford. It's important historically, but I wouldn't drive in one today; with better *air conditioned* vehicles in the modern day. Not every game can be a Mega Man or Super Mario that ages gracefully.
Mortal Kombat was firstly an arcade game that came out AFTER Street Fighter 2. The main draw of the game was the digitized “real life” characters. The blood and gore was all new in gaming. And 1v1 fighting games were new in general. It had great sound effects also. Mortal Kombat arcade is legend.
Gotta say I definitely agree with that intro rant. Never get who the hell in charge of the marketing department agrees to promote the title of their work using the same name it already had in the past. Would it really be that hard to just continue naming it with numbers or even a title based off the theme of the story?? (deception, armageddon, etc)
The closer you get to the mirror match the more difficult it gets. the Endurance matches can be pretty tough. As a young kid games seemed much tougher than they are today. Some Mario and Mega Man I remember being almost impossible sometimes.
Beating Goro is not so complicated, but you need to be careful with his punches move and the fireball. You just need to jump back once or twice, then jump forward and inmediately throw are fireball (Scorpion's Spear, Sub Zero's Ice ball, Raiden's lightning, etc). Then repeat all this cycle, until you win. Another useful strategy with certain characters to beat Goro (it works with Raiden, Johnny Cage and Kano) is just jumping forward and pressing punch at the same time. You must be close to Goro, and you have to repeat this until you win. Shang Tsung is another story... his battle is so broken. You need to be careful if you are jumping in the air. And reading some comments here... I agree, MK2 AI difficulty is insane. Therefore, the AI is different on Player 1 than Player 2.
I remember getting this game for PC in the 90’s after playing MK2 in the arcade and thinking it was bad at that time compared to MK2. I just assumed it was because the PC port was not that good but after watching this I see it really was bad.
You’re 100% right about the dumb games, but c’mon… “It’s hard, so it sucks”?? 😂 You even conceded that it isn’t “bad”, but the fact that it inspired a series that got progressively better renders it obsolete? Weak! The foundation is never obsolete lest the series change its foundational components. As you mature in your opinion vids, I encourage you to report on the distinctions between “I don’t like” and “this is an objective developmental flaw.” Nice video!
Fun fact: Original Trilogy Sonya Blade looks like an aerobics instructor because the actress that played her was, in fact, an aerobics instructor.

11:36 With Sub-Zero you always can have 2 hits combo wich opponent will be unable to block it. After each succesful diagonal jump kick or uppercut you have to add slide immediatelly (low punch + block + low kick togather). So most powerful sequence for him is to 1.freeze +2.uppercut+3.jump kick(sometimes can be blocked)+4.slide (can not be blocked if previous attack was succesful)
Yes. That was the classic strategy to live by.

Mortal Kombat XL is actually 40 in Roman numbers, it is actually a look into how the future of the franchise will look, thankfully they didn't make a version of Trilogy named "Mortal Kombat 64" tho, because it would've been chronologically the last.
This is my favorite channel. So glad I found you!
Thank you so much !!
The 5th MK game was Deadly Alliance. Shaolin Monks was not a main series title.
Correct
This game is like the Model-T Ford. It's important historically, but I wouldn't drive in one today; with better *air conditioned* vehicles in the modern day. Not every game can be a Mega Man or Super Mario that ages gracefully.
Mortal Kombat was firstly an arcade game that came out AFTER Street Fighter 2. The main draw of the game was the digitized “real life” characters. The blood and gore was all new in gaming. And 1v1 fighting games were new in general. It had great sound effects also. Mortal Kombat arcade is legend.
Seeing you rage on Goro is bringing me back to 92. Such a better time.
Bros raging killllled meee😂😂😂😂😂😂 “I Hate Ittt”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Dude the OG MK is a classic.
True
Nothing will ever beat the cheese called Motaro
My guy, you really just forgot about deadly alliance, didnt ya?
Yo you had me soooooooo weak with the Kano and Guru fights. I laugh so hard 😂
Gotta say I definitely agree with that intro rant. Never get who the hell in charge of the marketing department agrees to promote the title of their work using the same name it already had in the past. Would it really be that hard to just continue naming it with numbers or even a title based off the theme of the story?? (deception, armageddon, etc)
Think of it as a challenge: Are you smart enough to outsmart Ed Boon's programming? MK2 AI is very much full-troll Boon.
The closer you get to the mirror match the more difficult it gets. the Endurance matches can be pretty tough. As a young kid games seemed much tougher than they are today. Some Mario and Mega Man I remember being almost impossible sometimes.
Beating Goro is not so complicated, but you need to be careful with his punches move and the fireball. You just need to jump back once or twice, then jump forward and inmediately throw are fireball (Scorpion's Spear, Sub Zero's Ice ball, Raiden's lightning, etc). Then repeat all this cycle, until you win. Another useful strategy with certain characters to beat Goro (it works with Raiden, Johnny Cage and Kano) is just jumping forward and pressing punch at the same time. You must be close to Goro, and you have to repeat this until you win.
Shang Tsung is another story... his battle is so broken. You need to be careful if you are jumping in the air.
And reading some comments here... I agree, MK2 AI difficulty is insane. Therefore, the AI is different on Player 1 than Player 2.
This fucking game was the reason i got into mk but jesus it was hard as fuck
the main reason they ditched numbers is because sales take a hit when its the 14th (or 5th) one in a line
I remember getting this game for PC in the 90’s after playing MK2 in the arcade and thinking it was bad at that time compared to MK2. I just assumed it was because the PC port was not that good but after watching this I see it really was bad.
Goro mustve really hated Kano lmao
You have to learn the airpunch Get as close as possible air punch then duck rince and repeats😊
hehe the beginning rant was straight out of avgn playbook... love it :D haha
My friends said I was the only one on earth with the problem of cats turning off PCs
2:32 brojust explained the whole mortalkombat lore in one sentence 💀
You’re 100% right about the dumb games, but c’mon… “It’s hard, so it sucks”?? 😂 You even conceded that it isn’t “bad”, but the fact that it inspired a series that got progressively better renders it obsolete? Weak! The foundation is never obsolete lest the series change its foundational components. As you mature in your opinion vids, I encourage you to report on the distinctions between “I don’t like” and “this is an objective developmental flaw.” Nice video!
for me Mortal Kombat is Midway and Midway only !
The spirit of Gstar321 was flowing strongly within you in this video.
Mortal Kombat 1992 is still good. Arcade one. The ports aged a lil badly but I still love playing this game.
😂 I know the frustration you felt when fighting Goro as Kano.
this deserves more attention😇
thank you i really appreciate that!
