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.
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 😅
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!
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
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.
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
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
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! 😁🏆
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.
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.
Liu Kang had a 100% combo that was a game glitch I'm sure. if I remember correctly you needed to get opponent in corner... Normal jump kick in, back kick, then his flying kick. Then repeat.
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
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.
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
@@The_GK1 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.

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
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.
Liu Kang is hands down one of the best characters in Mortal Kombat🔥
Nobody clapping only for Kano in the credits made me smile
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
I remember we used to yell out Raiden's torpedo in the library.
Kevo! Haiye babale *spelling
"Thank you, brother Larry!"
CAJINGJINGDIGAAAAAA! BAJINGBABADAAAAAY!

Habagabgaaaaaaa
Embabaraaaayyyyy
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
@@The_GK1yeah
well yes he is the main protagonist of mortal kombat,
Liu Kang is a good buddhist monk ,he dislike violence and fatality

He does shout like Goro in Test You Might tho

That's no Mexican...
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
@@LT_A1113 liu kang is suppose to be inspired by him
@@jamichealruiz8640 durh knew that
@@LT_A1113 oh okay durh durh lol
I honestly didn't know about that Liu Kang fatality glitch.
After all these years, you still learn something new :D

Street Fighter.
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 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Johnny Cage: I'm the best at nut punch
Liu Kang: 4:21
Mortal Kombat... A Classic game!
Klassic*
Manda o jogo aí. Pra mim baixar
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
13:18 Looks like Shang Tsung's losing some souls to his death, I think.
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.
0:46 You know what? Liu Kang vs. Sub-Zero is awesome. And I do appreciate how Paul Anderson follows the movie.
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.
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 😂
love the atmosphere of this game
This game never get old !
I like that on Endurance Matches, Johnny was the only who wasn't there, because he was the only dead
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
Take me back to 1992 man. Seeing this game in my local convenience store blew my fucking mind!!
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
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
Joking with Sonya lmao: 8:42
Un clásico entre los clásicos ..excelente!
3:30 Sonya had a little to many drinks
LMAO
Lol XD
Glitch
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.
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.
I miss this original design and concept of him. Now he's just weird. I miss his simplicity.
What's exactly weird about him?
I like his Endurance 1&3 they gave you Fatality even though it wasn’t achieved.
Liu kang is just a man that woke up using jogging black pants and he’s also using white socks
These voices and sound effects are extremely hilarious
THE MEMORIES!!!! PIZZA SHOP IN NJ!!!!! (CRIES)
How are you playing all these mortal kombat games?
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.
when i see Liu Kang MK1 version remind me to Bruce Lee.
12:42 that scream fire ball sound used to freal me out as a kid, lol 😂
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!
Imagine being both the bad guy and the good guy and fighting yourself
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.
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
“This is why I am champion.” - Liu Kang
(MK11)
I love the Liu Kang mirror match just because of the screams he makes when he is kicked in the air!😂
Best gane ever for Lui Kang Fatality without Stahages or Dropps
Found on Raiden or Sub Zero odd Scopion nood Shang Tsung:)
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.
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 is the only character which you can get a Fatality Bonus on the Pit stage, guess that makes him the choice for highscore runs
@13:54 Is the background captured from Enter The Dragon movie? When Bruce Lee fight with Ohara I think.
No one:
Not a single soul:
Liu Kang: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
bro you just bullied goro...
well done! nice playthrough!
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
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
Liu Kang's fatality turned brutality has come a long way since 1992.
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! 😁🏆
Desde creança que eu jogo e alguns massetes eu nunca tinha visto antes. Parabens.
Muito showww esse jogo,quando vi pela primeira vez no fliperama foi amor a primeira vista rs
Remember when the news was trying to bash this game "realistic violence"
5:05
Shang Tsung: 😐 *Looks at Kano* *Proceeds to Clap*
Good player, like old times
Yo are the supreme mortal kombat warrior and that music are a great detail, i hope that come back in mortal kombat 12
What emulator did you use to play this game?
I'm confused about why you're chosen character is on the right?
Everybody's got hurt: "Ouch, ah, mm"
Liu Kang's got hurt: "Whooooaaahh!"
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.
Es por que se tenia pensado que fuera un personaje "pacifico" pero al final esa idea no funciono y lo cambiaron en MK2
Great job making this i like the pit intro music
12:26 - 12:36: Yo Sub Zero needs to chill, man.... what the heck! 😆
Spamming ice balls like that lol
Damn, this brings me back
Is this supposed to be in the MK3 playlist?
Excelent music for the fight mortal Kombat simply the best
Kombatant: *uppercuts opponent*
Shang Tsung (?): "COOL!!"
Cool
I bought arcade collection and i looked up to your channel and you have grear vids
But how you know all theese fatalities
Good times...from Brasil!!!
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
God, Shang Tsung was such a pure cheese character. Spamming everywhere

Liu Kang had a 100% combo that was a game glitch I'm sure. if I remember correctly you needed to get opponent in corner... Normal jump kick in, back kick, then his flying kick. Then repeat.
did anyone notice they misspelled "heroics" at the end of the game in Liu Kangs end story narrative?
+Emmanuel Vasquez Also "rightful" is misspelled.
misspelled words was common in old games... none of us cared back then
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

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
