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.
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!
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.
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 😅
4:55 I loved fighting Kano as Liu Kang. After blocking his cannonball, I would combo it by throwing two punches, a fireball, and follow up with a flying kick
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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! 😁🏆
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.
Cause Shang Tsung was never meant to be the final opponent. The Grand Champion aka Goro was. When Goro falls, he panics and challenges Liu Kang right away, hence why it's not official and doesn't take place in the throne room
@@Nova7_the_insane I'm pretty sure it was always meant to be Shang Tsung. Only difference is he was supposed to be an old man with a bunch of magical powers, but they ran out of memory and had to revert to using existing assets, which is why they programmed in all the character transformations.
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.
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)
@@user-un3wk6cq8u 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.
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
Outstanding!
You have defeated shang tsung !!
You are the supreme mortal kombat warrior !

Nobody clapping only for Kano in the credits made me smile
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
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.
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 !!!!!
@@konquerorkayleb Technically they're all canon, now that alternate timelines are a thing
@@Nova7_the_insaneyeah
well yes he is the main protagonist of mortal kombat,
Liu Kang is hands down one of the best characters in Mortal Kombat🔥
Liu Kang is a good buddhist monk ,he dislike violence and fatality
MadDog Mc Cree he is a Shaolin monk
"More to do with Bruce Lee's Tao of Jeet Kune Do beneath what is known."
@@davzviet5075 im pretty sure the shaolin are buddhist too
He does shout like Goro in Test You Might tho

feel u bruh....the nostalgia is legend just like the Man
RIP Bruce Lee
Fernando un tipo bien chevere Bruce was a Legend am I Right
Bruce Lee died 20 years before this game was even created
@@Ihatemylife772 liu kang is suppose to be inspired by him
@@jamichealruiz8640 durh knew that
@@Ihatemylife772 oh okay durh durh lol
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.
That's no Mexican...
I honestly didn't know about that Liu Kang fatality glitch.
After all these years, you still learn something new :D
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 😅
Liu Kang's fatality turned brutality has come a long way since 1992.

4:55 I loved fighting Kano as Liu Kang. After blocking his cannonball, I would combo it by throwing two punches, a fireball, and follow up with a flying kick
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 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
13:18 Looks like Shang Tsung's losing some souls to his death, I think.
0:46 You know what? Liu Kang vs. Sub-Zero is awesome. And I do appreciate how Paul Anderson follows the movie.
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 😂
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
Mortal Kombat... A Classic game!
Klassic*
Manda o jogo aí. Pra mim baixar
Joking with Sonya lmao: 8:42
This game never get old !
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
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.
Johnny Cage: I'm the best at nut punch
Liu Kang: 4:21
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.
when i see Liu Kang MK1 version remind me to Bruce Lee.
3:30 Sonya had a little to many drinks
LMAO
Lol XD
Glitch
These voices and sound effects are extremely hilarious
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
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
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
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.
Un clásico entre los clásicos ..excelente!
THE MEMORIES!!!! PIZZA SHOP IN NJ!!!!! (CRIES)
love the atmosphere of this game
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!
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!
I like his Endurance 1&3 they gave you Fatality even though it wasn’t achieved.
12:42 that scream fire ball sound used to freal me out as a kid, lol 😂
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.

Damn, this brings me back
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
Imagine being both the bad guy and the good guy and fighting yourself
Good player, like old times
I miss this original design and concept of him. Now he's just weird. I miss his simplicity.
What's exactly weird about him?
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! 😁🏆
I love the Liu Kang mirror match just because of the screams he makes when he is kicked in the air!😂
@13:54 Is the background captured from Enter The Dragon movie? When Bruce Lee fight with Ohara I think.
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.
Muito showww esse jogo,quando vi pela primeira vez no fliperama foi amor a primeira vista rs
Great job making this i like the pit intro music
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.
How are you playing all these mortal kombat games?
Desde creança que eu jogo e alguns massetes eu nunca tinha visto antes. Parabens.
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???!!!
Best gane ever for Lui Kang Fatality without Stahages or Dropps
Found on Raiden or Sub Zero odd Scopion nood Shang Tsung:)
It never made sense why you fight Shang Tsung in the lair. It would have made a lot more sense to face him in the throne room.
i come from an alternate universe where apes oppressed humans from 1392 to 1765
Should apes pay reparations for past oppression?
Cause Shang Tsung was never meant to be the final opponent. The Grand Champion aka Goro was. When Goro falls, he panics and challenges Liu Kang right away, hence why it's not official and doesn't take place in the throne room
@@Nova7_the_insane I'm pretty sure it was always meant to be Shang Tsung. Only difference is he was supposed to be an old man with a bunch of magical powers, but they ran out of memory and had to revert to using existing assets, which is why they programmed in all the character transformations.
@@Mitjitsu I was talking lorewise for the reasoning behind not changing the stage but yeah you're also right
Yo are the supreme mortal kombat warrior and that music are a great detail, i hope that come back in mortal kombat 12
Liu kang is just a man that woke up using jogging black pants and he’s also using white socks
12:26 - 12:36: Yo Sub Zero needs to chill, man.... what the heck! 😆
Spamming ice balls like that lol
dat character select nd battle plain music tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Remember when the news was trying to bash this game "realistic violence"
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.
@@alexhardline2208 no its not. It's the dumb ass story.
Awesome video ;)
Nj
Yu u
No one:
Not a single soul:
Liu Kang: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Good times...from Brasil!!!
Excelent music for the fight mortal Kombat simply the best
awesome video!
Cool
I bought arcade collection and i looked up to your channel and you have grear vids
But how you know all theese fatalities
Muy buen vídeo, pulgar arriba
Everybody's got hurt: "Ouch, ah, mm"
Liu Kang's got hurt: "Whooooaaahh!"
Excellent 500,000
Shang Tsung your mine
Liu Kang flawless victory
So awsome!!!!
12:24: Liu Kang: Shang Tsung! Only one fight remains! Face me... in Mortal Kombat!
Great stuff.
liu kang yes
Liu Lang in MK 1 of bruce lee
1:46 Awesome combo!!
The big ones are easy: Goro, Sheeva, Kintaro, Motaro. Just jump kick them over and over. That’s it.
Good playthrough mate
14:02 that background was from Bruce Lee's movie right?
Very Good 👏👏👏✌️😎
Well done dude good job
God, Shang Tsung was such a pure cheese character. Spamming everywhere
My dad played this back in the day now we have mk xl and mk11
Melhor jogo do mundo
i love you it's canal
Cool!
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.
