The MK Meta - Episode 5: Mortal Kombat Trilogy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 ноя 2019
- Trilogy is a nostalgia fest for many of us. For others, it's somewhat of a side project that looks and feels a lot like UMK3 on face value. However, there is a substantial amount of differences that make MKT a brand new experience in many ways.
Check out this piece of competitive history with my latest MK Meta.
Huge thanks to Byspeed for giving me his experience of the South American Scene. Check out his RUclips at: / aniclog2

CORRECTION: Shang Tsung's Limited Morphs actually share base models. Meaning that one selection of a certain character type unlocks morphs for all of them. It's not one ninja for instance, it unlocks the ability to morph into all ninjas! This one was hard to find info for and I'd never thought to try that way until I was informed by the legend Konqrr after this video went live. Much better for limited morphs overall!
Thanks so much to the wonderful Markie Music for creating the MK meta intro theme: ruclips.net/channel/UCPAhQQChRHxhePO4uk2qEsA
Another huge thank you to Pixelflare for the MK Meta intro video!: twitter.com/pixelflaregfx
Hope you all enjoy this one. Please share it with your friends if they love fighting games!

Wys Ryan? Good vid bro! Been waiting for this one too, wasn't expecting it as you did UMK3, but I was still secretly expecting it! There's a lot of history between me & this game! This was my introduction to MK watching my cousin & bros playing this game as a kid when I was too young to know how to play games! I fell in love with this game & it became my fav PS1 MK game! This was due to the characters (mainly the ninjas), the colourful artstyle & the graphics, even though I never got to play it lol...one day...
I came down to the comments to address this very thing haha
I've been recording some Shang Tsung recently and having to deal in this option. It makes it a lot easier to play him if you multiply your potential morphs, and he can turn into Rain.
can you do me a favor and subscribe to my RUclips channel for me please and leave comments like add to favorite to now my 199 clean rap music videos songs on my RUclips channel for me please and listing to all of them I would really appreciate it thanks keep u all posted for more clean rap music videos songs on my RUclips channel coming your way from jjj J Money $ The Rapper Peace Out www.RUclips.com/JustinMayTheRapper
@ Ketchup: Great video dude! Very interesting & informative (as always).
Two small addendums:
1) You forgot to mention that Shang Tsung's morphs on the N64 version had no load times due to the game being cartridge based, and not on a disc format like on the other platforms.
2) Motaro & Shao Kahn were given a single fatality on the N64 version.
Peace :)
Why not keep it at 4:3 instead of stretching it?
my friends I legit played this game every day for at least 3 years - R.I.P. Mike Thompson Fayette, Missouri.
Entity Edge Network damn, I’m sorry for your loss...
FATALITY
@@Anthony-jh6xt bruh what lol
F 🤙🏼
I’m sorry for your loss
I was 19-20 when this game came out and got it week 1. We would have home tournaments and would video tape match sessions to watch our mistakes (and still play to this day). Hardcore af
@NormanRockswell who hurt you
Sounds like some good times and memories. My older brother was in his late teens when this dropped and as a little kid, he would teach me and the other brother how to do the special moves and ingrained in us the importance of skill Vs cheesing.
Thats badass
This is the way.
As an Argentinian fg player, I truly felt touched to have an entire section of the video dedicated to an often overlooked community.
These videos are amazing, thank you, Ketchup
Posta, la comunidad de MK argentina es GIGANTE, casi comparada con la comunidad de KoF mexicana y brasilera. No sabía hasta hace poco que los MK tenían una escena competitiva.
viva Brasília 🤣🤣🤣🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷💯💯
Does Argentina matter at all?
@@rosema7909 matters more than whatever shithole you crawled out of, that's for sure
Bro I want to visit Argentina so bad I have some friends there, I heard inflation is becoming a big problem is that true?
The days when one button fatalities were a free 'for fun' option instead of a microtransaction.
True - but they are SUPER easy to pull off now, kind of negating the whole thing
@@jimrussell9518 exactly. there aren't even "jump" fatals any more.
Thank god that Easy Fatalities in 12 are just a free input now
Trilogy low key had variations before it was even a thing.
Yeah only 6
MK1 Raiden and Kano
MK2 Kung Lao, Sub-Zero, and Jax
Grey Scorpion
@Dale Macarena hate to tell you, I don't even know. I think I tried to check years ago and found out it was just art. I can't check again atm but I'll let you know when I can :D
@@ShiftyGuy777 Classic Zero? Unmasked Sub Zero?
Cyber Smoke? Classic Smoke?
@@We_Are_Borg_478 ouch, I missed a few.
@@ShiftyGuy777 Lol I do get your original point though.
Okay, I'm only 3 minutes in BUT DAMN THAT NEW INTRO IS SICK!
Markie Music is just outstanding
@@mysteriousstranger2287 It's Superb
What's the name of the song?
In Limited mode, you actually could morph into every Male ninja as long as you chose one. Basically if you choose a palette swap character, you choose all of them. I've chosen Scorpion and Goro and was able to morph into Ermac and the rest of the ninjas
I corrected myself in the pinned comment. I couldn't find any info online about it and never thought to try other ninjas at the time. D'oh!!
@@PNDKM Ah, didn't see that. I'm waiting for the MK2 Meta so I can try and beat Survival mode on MK2 Plus!
This was my favorite game as a kid. I was in 8th grade when it came out. I remember day dreaming about MK lore while sitting in 7th hour geography. Of course I was called on, by Mr. West, a wonderful teacher and future High School principal, to answer the question I did not hear! A great memory!
I don't play MK that much because I more play Tekken and Guilty Gear but I'm always curious and fascinated by high level meta in old fighting games.
This was my first MK game, I was 4 years old when I was playing it in 2000 and remember it like it was yesterday. This video giving me so much nostalgia man.
Lo0py I have almost the same story as you haha.
King James II me too haha
My first game was UMK3 on the SNES at almost the same time and age as you. But then I saw MK Trilogy for the PS1 and after playing a few times I left UMK3 behind.
@ Yeah, MKT had more characters and stuff, just more content so it was definitely no reason to play UMK3 anymore :D
@@Lo0py Hahahaha yes! Not only that, but due to the different platforms I saw how Trilogy had better graphics, sounding and all... little did I know though, that the disc would break and when going to buy a new one, I'd get vanilla MK3 instead.
that intro at 2:40 just blew me AWAY wow. cant wait to watch this episode...they're always quality
If MK 11 gave everyone one of these old fashion Brutalities where they just combo and you explode and there’s like 5 legs and 3 rib cages on the floor
I could honestly die happy
Nero omg that would’ve been too good...😩😭😭
They gave us friendships at least
We got Johnny's 3 headed uppercut, so anything is possible.
What about animality 🦂
I have a video of an old brutality performed in MK 11 style
I grew up with the N64 version of Trilogy and I still prefer it over the disk versions, but not simply just because of the meta and the load times, but honestly, it feels more like a genuine MK game due to its greater abundance of secrets and other neat little touches that help its presentation. Of course, that's because that version was developed in house by Midway themselves. I honestly could pick up this game and then go right and play the arcade version of UMK3 and not miss a beat..
Nintendo?...🤮
@@amisanthrope247 Yes, Nintendo : p
This is a great video on my favourite Mortal Kombat game! One thing I thought you'd mention was the music in MKT PS1 was slowed down and pitched down due to a mistake in their conversions for PS1.
You mean for the UMK3 music, right?
5:00 if I'm understanding you correctly
This was one of the first 3 games I got when I got my PS1. The other two were SF Alpha 2 and Toshinden. I really was into fighting games back then.
Here's my HOT TAKE: The sprawling, completely broken MKs (Trilogy and Armageddon) have held up the best of all the pre-2011 entries in the series. They're just wild, silly fun, pure and simple. "Serious" fighting games? Not so much, but that's what we have 2010s MK for.
The only thing that doesn't hold up from Armageddon is the fatality system. It really sucks
Armageddon sucks for a number of reasons. I hate the 3D arenas, the arena 'hot spots' get annoying after a while unless you turn them off, the weapons fighting style makes a lot of the characters unbalanced, some of the character models are half assed (they rendered Motaro with only 2 legs instead of 4, which is garbage), a majority of the newer characters (Drahmin, Hsu Hao, Kobra) don't really fit in well with the franchise, create-a-fighter is lame.
And the fatalities suck.
@@scorpionwins6378 *_"they rendered Motaro with only 2 legs instead of 4, which is garbage"_*
There's a legit reason for that.
@@EWOODJ I'm assuming the development team didn't want to go through with designing a whole new move set and animations just for one character.
@@scorpionwins6378 no it was for space reasons which was the same reason for styles.
brutality make me questioning my biology science credential
Trilogy was my first mk experience, it was a hand me down from my uncle. My brother and I would play this all the time in the late 90s
The amount of love, research and dedication you have with the MK Meta series is truly phenomenal! Looking forward to the next episode and keep up the good work!
It's fascinating to think about how different console ports of fighting games were back in the 90s, leading to special games such as Trilogy
39:00 ayyy shout out for including me. Professionally done video mate; cheers!
Nightwolf had the red shoulder charge and the red arrow in the Sega Genesis version as well.
Also, Rain's kick combo is HK, HK, LK, HK and then roundhouse - It is a five hits string, not four.
Really wish they would remaster this with a complete graphics overhaul.
And online competitive ranking
They won’t do it because people actually want it also they’d prolly ruin it anyways developers love to use cell shading trash graphics and tacky ui design
@@chrisnenshati7400 sign the petition there is a petition for a remake
Guess what
Take my money
Man I was a teen when this came out. My brother and I would rent this from the video store all the time to play this. It was a very fun game. Then it was Killer Instinct Gold on N64 since my brother owned one. Took me a whole summer to afford a PS1 that I had to buy from a guy I knew stole it from a store >.< They were that rare in my hometown.
Dominican Republic represent!
Man this made me nostalgic. Back when i visited DR every summer as a kid, my older cousin would take me to a gamer club where we could pay to play their large library of games and fighting games were our go to with MKT being what we played the most.
When i found that infinite with sheeva my cousin was so mad at me
If Trilogy had a version made to run like an arcade version, it would be the definitive version of UMK3. Also if it had every finisher option from UMK3’s versions. I don’t know if it excluded any, but just in case.
This series is the best contemporary MK material being created in all of the interwebz. Just recommended it on an Argentinian video games web radio show, and will do so every time a new episode comes out.
That's amazing!!
It was 2000 or 2001 that I first played Mortal Kombat 3, Sindel was actually the very first character I ever played, she's the whole reason I love the series.
Oof, then you must hate Aftermath. I don’t blame you if you do, just saying. I’m on your side ;)
Thank you for the inclusion of the South American scene. I can tell that you really did a lot of research because everything you said about the SA community was very accurate. Like how everyone played SNK machines back in the day and the fact that the MK community exclusively plays UMK3 here in Argentina lol
Mk trilogy is the best mk game to ever exists.
On the 64
MK9 is the best
I grew up with this mk...it's my fav...I was PS baby tho I was a nes and snes fan till ps1 hit the market...I think the N64 sucked
I still play nes snes and ps1 on my phone tho
No question dude, none of the other games even come close.
This video is just such a trip down memory lane.
Same here
I will always argue that this is the best fighting game ever made. Countless hours spent playing with my friends on ps1 using the unlimited run code to have some of the craziest fights. Great video man, keep it up!
We need an Arcade, HD, or Remaster version for consoles.
But, the best we have is the MUGEN MKT games.
@@JonesDylan874 yeah but for example tekken 5 had prev tekkens as bonus
@@JonesDylan874 i hate Mugens
There was a arcade version for the 360.
I’m dying for it, too. Current gen doesn’t even offer it as a download. So, so not outstanding.
At the start of the video you said to watch the UMK3 video before this one, so I just went ahead and watched every MK Meta video up to this one. Absolutely in love with the series. I've always loved Mortal Kombat as a kid, I played pretty much every game on the series at some point, and learning more about them has been a great experience. Thank you so much for the content.
i was 9yrs old when mk trilogy got released my mate had it n we used to play everyday at my house. was really addicted to this game. russia has big player base for mk trilogy aswel
Love the new intro! I'm so glad this series keeps going on and on! Great work!
I'm so glad RUclips recommended your videos to me. I 100% wasn't aware of the meta of the series at all and you have such a smooth voice to be able to explain it while also not assuming everyone knows what you are talking about.
Really glad you enjoyed them! Actually being recommended by RUclips is almost impossible these days as a MK creator. Suppose we got lucky there :)
MKT is my favorite. Still play it on my n64 to this day. It goes mkt > mk9 > mk11 for me. My best friend and I played this game almost everyday after school from middle school through freshman year of college. Legit YEARS playing this game. Anytime I visit him I have to bring my n64 😂. Absolute klassic
This video is amazing. Please make more of these, you guys represent MK really well. I'm so proud of you guys because this was amazing 🤘🏾!
Fantastic channel. This plus the many tutorials on how to better myself in MK11 make it so informative for me and other newcomers. Thank you.
What an amazing video bro, from start to finish roller coaster of nostalgic feelings, well done
You know you've made a great video when 46 minutes goes by just as quickly as it did. Thank you for another amazing edition to MK Meta. Sick intro as well👊
Just when i was aboutb to go to sleep befre work (*which is in 4 hours) u guys HAD to post this! lol couldnt help myself. MK page game too strong! This Meta series is hands down my favorite MK content on the interwebs.
I have been waiting and yet again you did not disappoint. That intro was CLEAN! This series is so incredibly compelling and I'm already pumped for the next one!
I play this game religiously when I was a kid. Still my favourite mortal Komat
I played this on N64 since I never owned the first Playstation. One of my top 3 favorites next to Ocarina of Time and Fighting Force!
Aw man. I had fighting force on a demo disc as a kid and was always salty I couldn't ever find the full game.
@@PNDKM was it only the first level you were able to play?
Another awesome video guys, really enjoying these throwbacks, such nostalgia! 🐉
Gotta love the passion you guys put into this, amazing and sick intro
Nice intro, MK Trilogy was a blast of fun game, one of the games I mostly played on PS1, and nice that you contacted with Byspeed he is such a good player and good person.
these videos are quite amazin. i'm not at all a technical MK player but i used to play some versions back in the day a lot. i'm curious to see your MK4 meta vid and am really hyped about that one man keep doing the thing!
the Blade Spin made it into MK2+ ;)
MKT is so fun that even to this day is my favorite game to watch tournament
In "Those Days" I built Arcade Sticks for people :D
As a brazilian MK fan, I'm so happy to see my boy Speed mentioned here! I watched your UMK3 video and thought you were going to mention him there at first, then I thought you were not going to mention him at all, but you did here. He is an insane player and is a really nice dude. I personally learned a lot from his tutorial videos, most of the mechanics you mentioned in both your videos I learned from him. lol
I'm also happy to see that the classic MK community still plays competitive in 2020. Great videos, very informative and fun to watch. It even makes me want to go back and play some classic MK ^^
This was a great video to watch. I had no idea that South America had such a huge UMK3 scene. Keep it up, Ketchup! Thanks for all the hard work you do for these videos!
I found this channel looking for info about primal rage and now I watching meta about a game made over 20 years ago... just have my subscription. Good stuff
Alright, I absolutely love the production quality on all the MK Meta videos and that (new?) intro is amazing! Good stuff!
Absolutely blast . loving the series guys !
What a game that was. I played it on the PC which was a port of the PS1 version. Can't wait for the next episode, keep up the amazing work! Also the new intro is damn sick!
Mortal Kombat Trilogy for PS1 was formative for me, it remains my favorite version of MK to this day. I'd long wondered why it never had a re-release, or why it seemed to fall out of favor. This answered many of the questions I had. Thank you for this.
Another great video! I have fond memories of playing Trilogy on N64 back in the day.
As a South American Fighting game enthusiast, Im really glad you got to meet BySpeed work on MK community. He's well recognized as one of classic MK (I, II, 3, UMK3, Trilogy) speedrunners, as well of being a specialist in both arcade and console versions of the game competitive wise, especially SNES UMK3.
Really love your mk meta videos, they are incredible
Another great MK Meta video guys. I loved trilogy as it was basically my childhood Mortal Kombat game on the PS1. I agree with everyone else that the new intro for this is absolutely sick and should stick around 👍
Ayyy, the ability to disable blood in this game came in so clutch as a kid. My parents were never going to allow me to have this game because of how violent was but I convinced them I could just turn off the blood and it'd turn into a regular fighting game like Street Fighter. Of course, the second they weren't home I would just turn the blood back on lmao.
Nice MK Meta intro! You guys are awesome, keep up the fantastic work!!👍🙃
Dear god.... just hearing about how broken my main Sub-Zero is made me want to buy the n64 version
Nice videos. love learning all the little ins and outs about the scene ^.^
THAT INTRO IS FIIIIIIIRE!! 🔥 🔥 love this vid! My fav all time MK
Kudos for the effort man, one can really feel the passion in your videos.
Cheers from Argentina! It's a great vid. It's very true that UMK3 is the favorite here, mainly because the SEGA Genesis was huge in our country. Many people still buy the Genesis today, so plenty of fresh blood haha
Love this series, love this channel ketchup and mustard are actual mk legends
Still got this game on ps1. That intro unlocked some memories I ain't experienced in a while
One of the best MK Games of all time. I adore this game. It's funny seeing this now because back when this came out the internet wasn't this evolved so most players had no idea how broken certain characters were or what kind of bugs existed.
13:46 that looks beyond busted 😂 and as soon as I see that I see an even more broken move
1:42 Raiden really be uppercuttin that man
Great vid, im waiting by the second for the mk2 vid which was my favorite classic mk
Yes! I was so ready for this!
I kinda want to see an updated version of Mk Trilogy. That is, combine the best parts of all versions, fix the bugs & issues that hampered the game, add some more stages w/ some pumped tunes, get rid of the load times.
I know it won't happen, but one can dream...
Played this on N64 all the time and got really good with Johnny Cage. I was actually able to pull off strings of combos with him, something I never was able to do before. It's because of the this game that Cage is still one of my favorite characters in the franchise to this day. Thank you for the wonderful video. Subbed.
Cage was awesome in Trilogy and looked awesome too.
Well now I know which version to get my hands on and that’s N64 thank you for this informative video.
Nothing beats the feeling of seeing a new MK Meta video pop up. Great video. One thing that always bothered me about the MK1 Kano that MKT has is that his victory and fatality sprites aren't the original ones, but some weird hybrid of MK1 and MK3 Kano sprites recolored to fit his MK1 outfit. Not sure why they couldn't reuse those specific sprites, but it always stuck out to me as weird.
MY BOY THIS STUFF IS BRILLIANT. HIGHLIGHT OF THE CHANNEL.
That rain kick part was crazy😂😂
Another great MK meta!!! And that intro was killer 🔥
really great video dood. i grew up playing UMK3 on SNES and was totally blown away when I played MKT on PS1 at a friend's house. Also that MKT N64 tournament on chirotob's channel was really epic.
9.95 phil and co had some sick East Coast events it looks like. I used to watch them in the MK9 days.
@@PNDKM that's really awesome, i sure do miss seeing MK9
I played the sega saturn version as a kid in 96. i didnt have the load time problems so when i got to play the PS1 version, i was very surprised.
Saturn versions the best, but really hard to find.
@@profo4544 Dude i know!!! when i thought about it a few years back to get it for my game collection and to play once and awhile, the prices were too high for my taste. lol
@@liquidsnake23 The Saturn version of MKT wasn't released until 1997. You're probably thinking of UMK3.
@@the757general2 no I did play trilogy but you’re right I may had got the years mixed up and it wasn’t til 97 I played then.
17:09 You're correct about Baraka's blade spin move being intended for inclusion in MKII. Either Electronic Gaming Monthly or Gamepro even posted a pic of it during the early months of MKII's release period so I guess they may have considered it OP and removed it before it ever found its way into a publicly released version of the game.
tcrf.net/Mortal_Kombat_II_(Arcade)#Unused_Sprites
The sprites for it actually still exist in the Arcade version's files.
@@firstnamelastnamesb Beat me to it.
The Baraka Blade Spin is in early versions of MK2, I remember using it in MAME
It was also showcased in EGM when they took pics of beta versions.
it was restored in the MK2 mod MK2+
I would love to see mk meta for deception and the online clan wars💯
I think he already made one
@@MK-vi2cm nah just armageddon even tho it's close to the game mechanics the online clan wars ia different in deception
@@officialgoon4137 You sure? I remember seeing some video by some youtuber going in depth on the competitive MKDA and MKD scenes like a year ago
Huh I will go look it up thanks for the heads up💯
I am 43 ... been playing Mk since launch in the arcades. Mk2 and UMK3 is my wheelhouse... I spent years in arcades playing MK... good vid.....
I did not want that to end man. I felt like a kid again watching that tbh, beautiful work!
Remeber on N64 you could hold left and both kick buttons on Wasteland or Jades Desert to play as Motaro and down and both punch buttons on The Pit III or Rooftop for Shao Kahn?! F,F,F,F HK for Motaros Fatality aswell lmao. Thank you for this mate ❤ Magic.
this is amazing and nostalgic!
Can't wait to see MK2!
I sold my ps1 and mkt in 2019. Im so full of regret. As a 80s/90s kid I was fascinated by this series; I remember playing umk3 in the old comic store I went to, back when there was a black curtained off adult section lol
MK Trilogy was one of my fav games when it first came out on PS1
i consider this one the definitive home console mk, even to this day
I grew to love the 64 version. We use to run sets at work after prep and I ended up learning the game. We used to play with infinite run/aggressor off until I started corner carrying people lol. The degenerate stuff in this game is awesome.
I WISH MORTAL KOMBAT TRILOGY HAD A ARCADE VERSION OF IT
It didn't cause the arcade board Midway used for Ultimate MK3 is very limited. It's so limited that some of the original stages like the Bank and the red Hidden Portal stages were cut. Since MK Trilogy had way more contents, it make sense for that to be a console exclusives. Do notice that when they transcend from MK3 to Ultimte MK3, the only characters they brought back were palette swap characters, that's cause the arcade board is very limited and couldn't handle more character models. They also remove all the endings of MK3 replacing those with just text endings for Ultimate MK3. Only in MK Trilogy do they brought those back. Midway is losing money at the time Ultimate MK3 came out and couldn't afford to get more expensive arcade board to port MK Trilogy to arcade plus they still had to catch to the 3D craze of the time so they just jump straight to MK4 instead.
Maybe someone can do an arcade ROM hack some day!
I wish to see that now
Thanks for telling me that Voan
@@VOAN the only reason Johnny Cage wasn't in MK3/UMK3 was because of Daniel Pesina's lawsuit against Midway. He originally was going to be excluded from MKT until they found a new actor for him. Raiden and Baraka not being used had something to do with Carlos Pesina. I don't exactly remember what happened with him.
