- I had the honour and privilege of playing against the elite in Mortal Kombat 2 on Fightcade in a Tiered Double elimination Tournament and lemme tell ya, it was quite the experience to say the least. Watch as I show footage and talk a bit about my gameplay and what I thought in general about the whole thing.
Check out the master @THEmortal_jason battles here!

Enjoy!
I posted the finals on my channel if anyone is curious. Thanks for the shout outs as always! Great attitude, glad you had fun. Male ninjas have to play more defensive to win, so that is a big part of why it seemed so defensive in the tournament. If you get a Raiden vs Mileena match for example, it is much more active. Really depends on match-up. To beat Sub with Kitana you have to get in on him and pressure him. Ultimately you want to trap him in a corner and go beast mode. Kitana has the advantage in that match believe it or not!
Thanks for the comment my friend and for the great attitude, you are the definition of a true pro, humble and helpful yet still mindful of your incredible skills lol I posted the link to your matches in the description of my video. Looking forward to the next tournament 👊🏼
@@BushyStallionThanks I appreciate it and the kind words as well!
@@THEmortal_jason I also pinned your comment. I should’ve done this off the hop 👊🏼
@@BushyStallionThanks, I didn't even know you could pin comments 😂I'm so oblivious sometimes. Btw I was laughing at how many times you said "crap!" during your matches. And I really love the Never Forget shirt.

To be real with you bro, there’s so many people with Mortal Kombat videos but you’re the only one I watch. Keep doing what you do, I’m a fan 💯
Very kind comment dude thank you so much 👊🏼
@@BushyStallionYes Sir! 💯👊🏿
Ggs bro glad you had fun. Your experience is similar to me and countless others when starting on fightcade. You find out very quickly that you’re playing against people that are truly passionate about the game and know all the ins and outs of it so there’s less wasted movement in the gameplay. Anyways keep grinding away and you’ll adjust to the gameplay change and you’ll be a better player for sure
Good games, man. I could totally tell the lag on Fightcade was affecting your gameplay. Still, it was fun to watch. Cheers.
I loved the format of going between gameplay and talking about the matches between fights. Great vid as always!
Awesomeness dude,I love the attitude you have with having fun etc.... that's what it's all about I think,good times 😊👌
didn't know you were glasses, and oooh Revolution X in the background! once again, amusing shirt
And of course GG. You're still a badass player and I always enjoy watching your gameplay, my friend📣📣📣
Thanks K1, and I wear glasses when I’m tired, it was an impulse end of the day video so I wanted to hide the bags under my eyes 😂😂 glad you liked the shirt and the video it was a fun experience for sure. I appreciate you 😊
Damn this reminds me of tournaments that we organized as kids back when MK2 hit the arcade. Also I had an Amiga port, we have tournament back at my home 😊 good ol'days
The skill gap is insane. I lost both of my matches. But I think it's fun to see progress. A part of me kind of hopes to remain ignorant about playing that well because it almost seems mystical or something to have such good players that seem so out of reach.
It’s fun to learn and progress for sure, I don’t know how much better I’ll get or if it even matters to me, but it’s fun playing this caliber of player time to time 👊🏼
Nice. Finally lol. Best part of Fightcade is not only the number of players on but the replays.
If you want, you can always go to replays and watch how you did or how your friends did. Fightcade saves receipts lol. 👊🏻🐲
Nice, I didn’t realize that was an option till not long ago, I’ve never checked out replays yet but I sure as heck will in the future. Thanks for the comment bro 👊🏼
Ahhh man I get nervous playing these kinds of tournaments! You did really well!
I suppose I kept a good attitude at least lol thanks for checking the video 👊🏼
When I play in Mortal Kombat tournaments, IF i use Scorpion, I NEVER use the harpoon right away because thats what they expect you to spam...I go for teleport punch more than anything. Only do harpoon in final round. Also, I hold down and block when the round starts....that way if my opponent goes for an early open attack, I can block them and prepare for my attack....with subzero, they expect you to do a ice freeze right away....you should duck and block, then ground freeze, then slide....either the slide or ground freeze will almost guarantee first hit....Mileena is my go-to character usually.
Them tournaments are insanely hard! I like it when it's fast paced as well can't stand when someone just crouches down and blocks just go for an attack. I feel the same way when you beat me it sucks. You're just better then me. Doesn't take the fun out of it or anything. When I rarely win it's a freaking holy God moment lmao! Thunder God Honey Marmalade strong moment! Lmao! Cool watching you try your best that's all you can do. HMS Strong Brotha!

In SF Turbo, C grade players and up are nightmarish for any casual players. I thought i was good at Killer Instinct Snes version till someone obliterated me on Fightcade... Im not surprised this happened to you who is godlike compared to me on MK2...
There is a huge difference between fighting against the CPU and a human player, especially in MK2. It's a game where you have to exploit the AI in order to win, and that's not possible with a human opponent, at least not in a comparable way.
Thanks for sharing for your experience.
Don't worry about dropping games to elite players. We all have our own journey and desired experience.
Regarding studying yourself, you can watch replays directly within Fightcade, not only of your own games, but also others you want to study.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the kind comment my friend, I appreciate you 👊🏼
As always, Great video bro. From what i gathered while watching the gameplay, basically, once a person pretty much learns the game inside and out, it comes down to just being patient and waiting for your opponent to attack first and then countering and blocking. It's definitely a chess match, as you said. Like you, i respect the competitive play style and i can see how its fun for them. However, like yourself, im a casual player that enjoys playing others of similar skill. Thanks for the shout out and the kindness of thinking we are of the same skill level even though you are still ahead of me lol. I appreciate it regardless. I enjoyed the upload and look forward to future tournament play. 👊
Thanks dude, I’m pretty sure we share the same opinions on this level of play, we gotta respect it, I do love how it’s so ingrained in their heads that it’s basically insane muscle memory, at least it seems that way to me where they KNOW what you’re doing the millisecond you do it lol regardless, and yes we are equal on there lol I think you’re better at MK1 and UMK3 and perhaps I am better at MK2 and MK3 which evens everything out, it’s science 😂👊🏼
You were pretty good. I liked the matches. I'd say that I noticed 2 main reasons that you weren't winning that much was that 1) your opponents were executing the moves faster than you 2) they weren't taking any risks, like almost no jumping towards you etc.. Yes, a lot of defensive play by them also. I'd say work on the speed of execution, your battle plan was pretty good but just wasn't coming out fast enough out of your controls. Felt a bit like games of rock-paper-scissors lol. Good job though and liked the video 🙂 👍 Gotta check out this FightCade myself 🤔
You sound like you know your stuff. This is the closest to the arcade that you’ll get definitely check it out if you can, there’s a lot of how to videos on setting it up 👊🏼
@@BushyStallion Thank you very much. I will. I am more interested in the wide array of games than competing with others - but maybe I will a bit from time to time hehe ^_^
Would love to see Don Uno fight The Mortal Jason. 😯😯
I have a video from a few months ago on my channel, but Mr FX aka Don_Uno has gotten a lot better since those matches!!
From watching street fighter pros, they normally play patient at first and try to get a couple hits in and force the opponent to get aggressive. This opens up the counter attacks. When the opponent starts out ahead, all they have to do is sit back and be patient, and counter your attacks. I’m no pro by any means. I enjoy watching you play. Use the clock in forcing your opponent to make mistakes.
Those pros are crazy man
Now you made me curious about playing MK2 online... The only FTG I tried to play online was Darkstalkers - Vampire Savior 2 (but I still managed to win 50% of the matches). Let's see if my PS3 still works with the PS network, I'll give it a try!
Thanks for the comment my friend, MK2 still works online with the PS3 if you own MKAK, I’ve played on there recently. No one is online however so you’d need to make arrangements with someone who owns it and meet up to play, otherwise you’ll be sitting in an empty lobby. I definitely recommend FC 👊🏼
Your a pro at fightcade Darryl
Nah, but a fan of the game regardless 👊🏼
I have read that Mileena and Jax were the best competitively.
Honestly, I have no idea if it’s true or not.
yep. mileena had killer speed and jax could always bait jumps with the ground pound
U got a good style I like watching u play very entertaining keep up the good videos
Thank you I appreciate it 🙏🏽
Cool video.
you're one of. thebest players I watchand yet these guys are so high level is crazy
I appreciate the comment but you haven’t seen nothing yet lol I will show some of the high ranked videos in the future 👊🏼
Yooo u finally hit up fightcade! Niiiice 👊
would be cool to do some things on fightcade, means its a bit easier for people to join in
Wow my friend very good play some really steep competition out there...Ps tou should play Mortal Kombat 2 on the ps2 it's a lot better than the ps1 version...for me thou...if you can try out a comparison on these systems I you haven't yet. Shout out from all the way over here in south Africa my friend.
Indeed, the PS1 port is a terrible way to play MK2. But this here is the original arcade version (emulation), most likely from the Mortal Kombat Arcade collection on PS3.
@@greensun1334 Yes The PS3 Versions is the best I agree. A big Fan of the collection version.
@@PrimalGames.SouthAfrica well, three arcade perfect titles (MK, MK2 and Ultimate MK3) for 10 bucks was (and still is) a very good deal! This collection is a must-have for every old school FTG fan. Have a nice day!
I did a playthrough of MK2 on PS2 and I labeled it as cartoon Kombat, because it looked like it was drawn in pastel.. I appreciate the comment my friend and thanks for all the support! Is South Africa a Country worth visiting?
It’s nothing like the version on the MKAK for PS3, I did a video on that one also 👊🏼
I notice sometimes you go with the natural flow of the game, and you pay for it. You might know this, you kind of have to 'not' do what the opponent is expecting.
Back in the day we had a phrase "turtle" style fighting, where you wait for the opp, then counter.
That reminds me of my style of playing street fighter. I was always bad at MK2 & 3 because it was too fast paced, and also because I suck. I have much more fun watching peeps play, haha.
mk3 is awesome on alcohol.@@annstevens6223

I’m not the greatest mk player, but there is certain follow up moves that net u damage even if it’s chip damage n keep your opponent from mounting an attack.
Messes with their timing and psyche.
.
.
When u hit.! U hit many times .
When they give u one hit u take many .
When there is an opening
Jump through and flood them with a barrage of attacks
Yo Darryl what did you do to that trees of vengeance dude on fightcade? I saw a vid on him flexing on you. He dosent sound like he likes you that much ? 😂
Absolutely nothing. And do I care? Absolutely not 😂
Yeah don’t worry too much dude fightcade players are INSANE at these games. I’m like you I LOVE retro games SF2 especially. I get trashed on fightcade most of the time 😂
Good stuff Man U just gotta adjust to playing slower players and bait them to throw shit out then punish and also with sub always sweep then ice puddle lol
Yeah the I didn’t pull of the ice puddle everytime and I blame being nervous 😂 watching the video after I see so many times where I could’ve done something else lol oh well I do it for the fun and love of the game and if I never move up in rank I’ll still love it 👊🏼
It’s all about the punishment for me 😆
The mental
U should not have done that .!!
Don’t try it again or u will pay worse next time .
That’s what I love about gaming .
Handing out a lesson in getting destroyed
Nice!
What platform is this on?
It’s on Fightcade for the PC
@@BushyStallion the graphics are arcade quality
Is Fightcade emulating the arcade version of MKII in this footage?
Intense!
I was waiting for this ha
Nice good luck 👍
Luck was not on my side lol
Cuando competi en figtcade
Se me quitaron las ganas de jugar
Hay jugadores intensos
Pero aun asi siempre es un excelente juegazo
Saludos
Look at the homie Darryl with the glasses! 😂 Good look bro
It’s my tired look. I didn’t plan the video but had the impulse to make it before bed lol thanks for checking it out 👊🏼
man…. when I play against others like this…. I would hit up the whole roster…. that way it may be more even… not just use my strongest guy … I was hoping Don was going to use different characters… THAT is a true test of your skill
The structure of the tourney only allowed him to use Sub Johnny or Reptile until he lost… which he didn’t lol that’s all. It was a 4 tier elimination set.
Is that Grind Session in the background?
It is. Classic game with classic music, one of my fave PS1 games 👊🏼
Is that Raiden tattooed on your arm? 😀
Lol nah, that would be cool.. it’s me and my son, I actually show it in one live stream, someone asked to see it.
@@BushyStallion ah.. that’s lovely. Just thought I recognised the stance. 😀
Running out the clock by a defensive posture seems kind of lame.
Amigo, por qué no haces, fatality?
That’s one thing I failed to mention, at this level it’s very rare to see a Fatality because they’ve seen them so many times they just wanna move to the next battle.
Hey Darryl, just an fyi there are a ton of cheaters on fightcade and on these tournaments. I have a friend that uses software AI as an assist.
I have also heard this.
ruclips.net/video/LQAeYVOgbI0/видео.html
i cant even play MK2 on fighrcade that shit wont work in 2024!!?
FC2
okay i downloaded it. which files do i tansfer to emulator file?
You kind of look a whiter version of John Parrish here.
😂😂
human players don't fall for your cheese like the computer
Hi Darryl, do you drink alcohol?
Interesting question lol yes I do
@@BushyStallion if not a delicate question, what kind of and what amount?
And interestingly what for?
Blah blah what a waste of time listening to you !
What a waste of time sending this comment!
ruclips.net/video/LQAeYVOgbI0/видео.html
Darllyn you have a beautiful head nice and smooth.so clean!
Yo Daryl. Just curious what’s your ethnicity? You kinda look asian no lie lol
Half Filipino. Half.. white guy lol
You did your best and had fun. Keep it up and you'll keep getting better but I love your attitude and kept being positive. Proud of you and I know you'll do better in the future while still having fun. Thanks for sharing and much respect to you as well
Crazy level of competition. Honestly, whenever the day comes that I get a cab of my own, this is what it will look like when we play… and you’ll be on the winning side this time, hahahaha. Really cool stuff.
Would be great to see a tournament like this in the arcade, set up one up!!
There will be a mk2 tournament in june on 1up!
My dream would be to attend an in person tournament for MK2 on the official cabs, the atmosphere would be electric. Maybe one day my friend 👊🏼
I don't really care for that style of play either, but that's the game and I guess if you want to be top-ranked that's how you have to play it. I disagree with your chess analogy because in chess each player is exactly equal as far as pieces and move sets and in MK or any other fighting game some characters are just stronger than others which can give one player advantages over the other. So my point is that with that specific style of play they are moreso "exploiting" certain elements of the game instead of just playing it as it is normally played.

Yooo! haven't had a notification about your channel in a while, glad to see your channel growing!
Thanks Ken I appreciate it 👊🏼
I've always been a bit more of a single-player gamer.
You'd need to devote literally 2 hours a day (each week) for a month in order to re-sculpt that different frame of muscle-memory in order to compete at that level.
Keep in mind, you've done so much at a fundamental level in terms of rekindling renewed interest into the original MK Trilogy.
As long as it's fun, it's more than worth it.
Remember, when it comes to Mortal Kombat, the only losers are the people who were only allowed to play Street Fighter in their youth...
😉
Lol I like how you ended this comment. I appreciate the words and agree, I don’t have that kind of time to dedicate to getting “better” as my life is very busy outside of RUclips. I do enjoy whenever I play though whether they are pros or average it’s all good. And I still get enjoyment out of the single player experience I don’t think that’ll ever go away. Thanks again for the comment 👊🏼

after a jump kick is block follow up quickly.
Be ruthless in your attack when u do attack
Your has to be in fear of making the slightest mistake
Can't wait til you collab with ketchup and mustard for some sets maybe mk3 ik that's their favorite
Always play woth jax. Best character.
This tournament structure only allows Jax as your 4th choice if you lose the rest.
@@BushyStallion oh wow. Tiered.
It was like watching chess match.
I went a fighterz tournament and went 0-2 you did better than me lol
Notice at 16:35 he walked toward you, then threw the ground ice. 😁
Playing like that is no fun to much waiting around
Cool! I also like the skate footage in the background. Mortal Kombat plus skating was how I lived the 90’s haha
ruclips.net/video/LQAeYVOgbI0/видео.html
You wear glasses?
Cool shirt bro #boomerpride 👊
Boomer pride indeed lol thanks Aussie 👊🏼
cool vid!
your exploits don't work on human players
This isn't skill at all. All I noticed in this is if you master Sub Zero in this who's 2 freezing moves give him a huge advantage cuz he can uppercut you then do the slide right after is a huge thing. All they did was wait for you to make the 1st move & then they just blocked all the way through froze you then counter attacks. Not once did I see them trying to jump kick you some offensive punches nothing like that.
I noticed you had a bit of skill with Liu Kang. Still thought it doesn't matter cuz all they do is block & freeze you. This is a fighting game. You're supposed to do combos & attack. Just standing there is really boring.
Sub-Zero is actually the 2nd weakest character in MK2 - only Reptile is worse. The male ninjas have the best roundhouse to anti-air, so jump kicking against them isn't very wise. Darryl has a lot of skills, as do his opponents. You're always welcome to join the next tournament and show your skills. 😎
@@THEmortal_jason You're not going to convince me that Sub Zero sucks when Darryl got beat by him. All they did was block mostly wait for Darryl to make a move & then counter that.
I'm more of an offensive guy in this game trying to do jump kicks punches whatever.
I am not going to play people that just block the whole time & just wait to counter my moves.
As for Darryl he had skills with Liu Kang because I didn't know when he was going to pull off the bicycle kick etc. At the end of the day, even if you master offensive moves in this, Defense seems like win for the majority.
@@tonyp9313Was just trying to explain things to you and help you understand. I mean if I was curious about a game I don't know a lot about like MK4, I certainly wouldn't argue with the top MK4 players. But to each his own.
i've been playin mk2 forever and i always hated that you could block throws. lets turtles turtle. yuck.@@tonyp9313
these videos are a lot less fun when i can see your face and youre just sitting there talking for minutes on end instead of showing the footage i came here to see.
