Fun Fact: Ho Sung Pak, the actor for Liu Kang, was also a stunt coordinator for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, and was the stunt double for Raphael.
After purchasing Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection in the PlayStation Store, I played and beat this game earlier today with Liu Kang. Great memories! Just like old times.
When I got this for SNES back when it came out I was playing with Liu Kang and my dad came in the room and said “oh look at the little Mexican doing karate!” Things you remember.
It's hard to believe that this game was so low budget that John Tobias had to borrow his father's camera to shoot it. I bet Midway never saw this project becoming the biggest fighting game series of all time!
Meanwhile in MK2 if you messed up Raiden's shock fatality (you have to keep tapping the button until they explode) the game won't count it as a fatality even though the screen turns dark like a fatality screen 😅
Scorpion : Well, Liu Kang, why do you have to be the canon winner of the tournament. You have the worst fatality ever! Liu Kang: I'm a Shaolin monk. I don't kill people and I dislike violence. Scorpion: Well...... Liu Kang: Hey, if I killed everybody, we wouldn't have sequels and a series. Show respect! Scorpion: Huh......nice point.
The Guy with the weakest Fatality wins the Mortal Kombat tournament in canon. How ironic that the most peaceful character wins the tournament about killing your opponent
Hey man thanks for doing a run with my favorite character, I learned some cool tips and tricks. I can beat MKII, MK3/UMK3 fairly well, I haven't entirely mastered MK1 so I think I'll to see if I'm able to beat it without continuing like you did.
Would be very awesome if there's a MK game with the new characters and old characters on the style of the old games but using new things like variations and combos (well is not something new, since was in MK 3) i think it would be very awesome.
liu kang = bruce lee, they even made him look like him and fight like him in the older mortal kombat games, why does johnny cage reminds me of jean claude van damme LOL
If we go by actual Mortal Kombat lore, then Liu Kang's walkthrough is canonical, with the only fights being Liu Kang vs. Goro & Liu Kang vs. Shang Tsung, and maybe Liu Kang vs. Scorpion (although not confirmed) since Scorpion's primary agenda was getting revenge and killing Sub-Zero, and since Kano would be too busy having his hands full with Sonya the only two remainder Kombatants are Johnny Cage who is an Earthrealmer and Raiden who is the protector of Earthrealm, so Liu Kang fighting either individual wouldn't make much sense.
It's only fatality in this game when screen doesn't darken. He doesn't kill other kombatants because he's a good guy from Shaolin who wants to return the tournament to it's more honorable roots.
Aquí Liu Kang era un personaje aburrido y sus movimientos no eran muy atractivos como los otros personajes, pero en el MK2 en adelante se volvió chingón.
Something about hearing Goro's theme takes me back to childhood and being scared shitless going up against him... But full of adrenaline to find that courage and drive to beat that four-armed fuck! 😁🏆
U notice every boss on MK always explodes or something, u can't ever "Finish Him" MK1- Shang Tsung explodes MK2, 3, trilogy, umk3, umkt- Kahn explodes MK4- shinnok falls into some pit of fire MKD: Onaga explodes MKA: Blaze explodes MKSM: Did Kahn explode on here? MK VS DC: Dark Kahn explodes MK9: Kahn explodes MK10: Shinnok "Once Again" explodes I know I left a few out but those are the ones I haven't played like MK Gold, mythologies Sub-Zero, special forces and the Mugen ones...... But point blank the bosses kill themselves 😂😂😂😂 I'm jus sayin
Shang Tsung didnt explode here, i never understand what was happening but his body was intact, maybe he lost his souls? the ability to transform? it was never explained.
mk doesn't say anything about Liu Kang being the main protagonist. in fact there weren't any main protagonists in mk initially. but Liu Kang happened to be a centre of attraction for fans and when the motion pictures came up, they made Liu Kang the main protagonist.
He is no time traveler..he has too absorb souls too maintain his youth.. If he does not absorb souls he eventually grows old of age... Shao Kahn who also can absorb souls restores his youth at the beginning of MK2 which is why he looks younger in that game
Fun Fact: Ho Sung Pak, the actor for Liu Kang, was also a stunt coordinator for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, and was the stunt double for Raphael.
That’s awesome. I love this franchise. I’ve been playing through all the games. They all have their own unique factors that keep me coming back.
What can I say to that but...
*COWABUNGA!!!*
in the first movie
the actor for Liu Kang is Robin Shou
（Shou Wan bo，or Chou Yun-bo）
@@郭飛影 Yes, for the movie. I was talking about the people in the games proper.
I thought it was ernie Reyes Jr for raphael...
The original characters, sound effects, moves, and music for this game were the very best. Classic game from back in the day.
Don’t you mean *klassic*
yes
Shang tsung the best
Bruh you a evil i will the cops
Wow. If this were to come out today, it would be almost nothing. I can’t believe this game caused controversy with parents.
“We’re fighting for the fate of the world!” - Liu Kang, _Mortal Kombat_ (1995)
Outstanding!
You have defeated shang tsung !!
You are the supreme mortal kombat warrior !
Liu Kang was such a gentleman in that he never technically "finished" Sonya in their matches.
Or the player has put "fatality" out of his list :v
That may have been a glitch...
Po
Liu Kang is hands down one of the best characters in Mortal Kombat🔥
I remember we used to yell out Raiden's torpedo in the library.
Kevo! Haiye babale *spelling
"Thank you, brother Larry!"
CAJINGJINGDIGAAAAAA! BAJINGBABADAAAAAY!
gliding across floor?
Habagabgaaaaaaa
Embabaraaaayyyyy
Nobody clapping only for Kano in the credits made me smile
Good job defeating Shang tsung with the flying kick nice touch
The opening screen of MK2 actually shows Liu Kang defeating Shang Tsung that way!
Too bad he didn't have his bicycle kick in this game.
After purchasing Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection in the PlayStation Store, I played and beat this game earlier today with Liu Kang. Great memories! Just like old times.
feel u bruh....the nostalgia is legend just like the Man
Liu Kang is a good buddhist monk ,he dislike violence and fatality
MadDog Mc Cree he is a Shaolin monk

He does shout like Goro in Test You Might tho

Fun fact- Lui Kang is the original story mode
Liu Kang is the hero of MK1, so his ending is the only canon ending
IT'S LIU KANG !!!!!

well yes he is the main protagonist of mortal kombat,

Really weird to see shang tsung clap for liu kang
yeah
I think the fight just amused him
Real recognize real
Shang Tsung claps for anyone who wins.
@@Meagan_Chastain He Clapped For Liu Kang.....Then Gets His Ass Kicked By Liu Kang 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I honestly didn't know about that Liu Kang fatality glitch.
After all these years, you still learn something new :D

11:41: Goro: I did not expect to fight at this tournament, but eventually, even the Shaolin will produce a warrior worthy of a Shokan.
Liu Kang: "I know who you are! I am ready for you!"
@@datboy174 Goro: I will give you a warrior's death.
By far the best game to hit the arcade in the 90s, hands down
A Upshaw - I would argue and say Street Fighter II might have beat it, but it would be a very close race.
This and MK2
I'm not big on Tekken but didn't it rise as well?
Whatabout Dig Dug?? Lol
SF all day. But MK was badass
8:45 Where is this fatality!?
This Liu Kang's finisher is the worst fatality ever
+srtyxczewlsrolkid its actually pretty funny
easiest fatality I learned when I was young lol supposibly it's a vicious beating
lol
srtyxczewlsrolkid in mk2 his cartwheel is even weaker. One of the worst fatalities in the game.
Liu kang's cartwheel then elbow, roundhouse, cartwheel a true beatdown.
Mortal Kombat... A Classic game!
Klassic*
Manda o jogo aí. Pra mim baixar
13:18 Looks like Shang Tsung's losing some souls to his death, I think.
Scorpion : Well, Liu Kang, why do you have to be the canon winner of the tournament. You have the worst fatality ever!
Liu Kang: I'm a Shaolin monk. I don't kill people and I dislike violence.
Scorpion: Well......
Liu Kang: Hey, if I killed everybody, we wouldn't have sequels and a series. Show respect!
Scorpion: Huh......nice point.
🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well he's not wrong
At least Scorpion canonically killed Sub Zero, which is Bi-Han of course.
Mortal Kombat 9.
Joking with Sonya lmao: 8:42
12:27 good thing that Sub-Zero's Ice Freeze doesn't deal block damage.
Imho it should and I'm not just saying that as a biased Sub-Zero player 😂
0:46 You know what? Liu Kang vs. Sub-Zero is awesome. And I do appreciate how Paul Anderson follows the movie.
Johnny Cage: I'm the best at nut punch
Liu Kang: 4:21
love the atmosphere of this game
This game never get old !
The Guy with the weakest Fatality wins the Mortal Kombat tournament in canon. How ironic that the most peaceful character wins the tournament about killing your opponent
Cuz he is a monk. Monks have respect
3:30 Sonya had a little to many drinks
LMAO
Lol XD
Glitch
Liu Kang's so-called Fatality fits better in the Pit stage.
Doesn't matter.
Do you even know why they made that his fatality
JPVZBOIYT 21 Because he is a monk
@@sonicthespider3295 At least they remade it a lot better in MK11.
MultiSuper GamerPerson yes exactly
Take me back to 1992 man. Seeing this game in my local convenience store blew my fucking mind!!
I like that on Endurance Matches, Johnny was the only who wasn't there, because he was the only dead
Un clásico entre los clásicos ..excelente!
Hey man thanks for doing a run with my favorite character, I learned some cool tips and tricks. I can beat MKII, MK3/UMK3 fairly well, I haven't entirely mastered MK1 so I think I'll to see if I'm able to beat it without continuing like you did.
Parabéns que Aula 👏👏👏
The only one he actually killed was Johnny Cage, right?
Ye I guess so
Yeah
He didn't land on a spike
No, he already kills hitting them to the death
The others were beaten to death and Johnny Cage fell to his death
THE MEMORIES!!!! PIZZA SHOP IN NJ!!!!! (CRIES)
These voices and sound effects are extremely hilarious
when i see Liu Kang MK1 version remind me to Bruce Lee.
Liu Kang's fatality turned brutality has come a long way since 1992.
One of the best Mortal Kombat games up there with Mortal Kombat X and Mortal Kombat 9
It's a classic, yes. But is it in the same league as MK9 and X? Hell no.
that's a matter of Opinion, everyone has an entitled to it
Glenn Abraham SHUT UP!!!!
MKX is bad ! It could've been much better to be honest.
I honestly don't like the new Mortal Kombat games, it just doesn't feel right for a classic gamer
I miss when real Martial artists were digitized into a 2d violent fighting game, wasn't the 90s great? anyway they were the bests next to MK9 and MKX
You think MKX is a bad game because you don't like the way they designed Mileena?
@@OnemoreAddictinggame where did I say I disliked MKX?
dakentaijutsu2010 Dude this was a fucking year ago, I don't even remember this.
MKX still sucks though. The animation is so bad.

“This is why I am champion.” - Liu Kang
(MK11)
12:42 that scream fire ball sound used to freal me out as a kid, lol 😂
I miss this original design and concept of him. Now he's just weird. I miss his simplicity.
What's exactly weird about him?
Liu Kang is the only character which you can get a Fatality Bonus on the Pit stage, guess that makes him the choice for highscore runs
I like his Endurance 1&3 they gave you Fatality even though it wasn’t achieved.
Would be very awesome if there's a MK game with the new characters and old characters on the style of the old games but using new things like variations and combos (well is not something new, since was in MK 3) i think it would be very awesome.
Scorpion has always said with the harpon "Get over here!" sometimes "Come here!"
That is his trademark. Of course he's gonna say it
Fun fact : this line was recorded by Ed Boon.
I love the Liu Kang mirror match just because of the screams he makes when he is kicked in the air!😂
Imagine being both the bad guy and the good guy and fighting yourself
he sounds like Mickey Mouse
1994 looks like mickey mouse
or mario
No a turkey
That's what i think :0
Mario Kart 8 Villagers Butthole huh???!!!
liu kang = bruce lee, they even made him look like him and fight like him in the older mortal kombat games, why does johnny cage reminds me of jean claude van damme LOL
Johnny Was based off Van Damne
van damme was actually gonna play johnny cage but due to a schedule he had he had to decline
+RollinOnVWGTI the movie enter the dragon was the inspiration for MK1
bullshit
This game was based off the movie bloodsport but since Van Damme was doing Street Fighter at the time... the idea got changed!
Liu kang is just a man that woke up using jogging black pants and he’s also using white socks
Liu kang is my favorite because he reminds me of bruce lee and he’s the main character.
RadiantZ If you look around the whole story in this game is inspired by Enter The Dragon.
Frls haha same here
bro you just bullied goro...
well done! nice playthrough!
Desde creança que eu jogo e alguns massetes eu nunca tinha visto antes. Parabens.
Good player, like old times
Remember when the news was trying to bash this game "realistic violence"
If MK1 had a story
Chapter 1: Sub-Zero
Fights: Sonya, Cage, Reptile, Scorpion
Chapter 2: Sonya
Fights: Raiden, Cage, Scorpion, Kano
Chapter 3: Johnny Cage
Fights: Reptile, Sonya, Liu Kang, Kano
Chapter 4: Liu Kang
Fights: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Goro, Shang Tsung
How are you playing all these mortal kombat games?
If we go by actual Mortal Kombat lore, then Liu Kang's walkthrough is canonical, with the only fights being Liu Kang vs. Goro & Liu Kang vs. Shang Tsung, and maybe Liu Kang vs. Scorpion (although not confirmed) since Scorpion's primary agenda was getting revenge and killing Sub-Zero, and since Kano would be too busy having his hands full with Sonya the only two remainder Kombatants are Johnny Cage who is an Earthrealmer and Raiden who is the protector of Earthrealm, so Liu Kang fighting either individual wouldn't make much sense.

Yo are the supreme mortal kombat warrior and that music are a great detail, i hope that come back in mortal kombat 12
No one:
Not a single soul:
Liu Kang: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Damn, this brings me back
@13:54 Is the background captured from Enter The Dragon movie? When Bruce Lee fight with Ohara I think.
Best gane ever for Lui Kang Fatality without Stahages or Dropps
Found on Raiden or Sub Zero odd Scopion nood Shang Tsung:)
Aquí Liu Kang era un personaje aburrido y sus movimientos no eran muy atractivos como los otros personajes, pero en el MK2 en adelante se volvió chingón.
Es por que se tenia pensado que fuera un personaje "pacifico" pero al final esa idea no funciono y lo cambiaron en MK2
Muito showww esse jogo,quando vi pela primeira vez no fliperama foi amor a primeira vista rs
5:05
Shang Tsung: 😐 *Looks at Kano* *Proceeds to Clap*
Everybody's got hurt: "Ouch, ah, mm"
Liu Kang's got hurt: "Whooooaaahh!"

Good times...from Brasil!!!
Well done dude good job
The big ones are easy: Goro, Sheeva, Kintaro, Motaro. Just jump kick them over and over. That’s it.
Does anyone realize that Shang Tsung seems to be a time traveler when it comes to age throughout the series?
He is no time traveler..he has too absorb souls too maintain his youth.. If he does not absorb souls he eventually grows old of age... Shao Kahn who also can absorb souls restores his youth at the beginning of MK2 which is why he looks younger in that game
awesome video!
