I love how the announcer is confused when he says; “friendship?”
especially the “friendship? again?!”
"C'mon dude, I wanted you to kill them :c"
"What the fuck?! Tear him up not give him a doll!"
Se é bosta cara
It was meant like that. ://
Ultimate Mortal kombat 3: "You will NEVER win.
I felt that.
Me too. Didn't even believe in us! :D
“Hahaha is that your best?”
Right I feel like if I heard that all day I would fail in life
Well, it was really bloody hard.
It's true
MK has the best array of announcers in Fighting Game history, they all talk with conviction and in the right tone.
Killer instinct?
@@EvidLekan Close, but MK is still at the top.
@@RoyArkon CO-CO-CO-COMBO BREAKER
1. Mk Announcer & Ki announcer
2. CvS2/Mugen announcer (depending on the version)
@@RoyArkon halo?
Mk2 was so perfect ♥️
Agreed.
But it was crazy difficult! I know I suck though because Shoa Khan told me so.
FLAWLESS!!!
Hands down the best. A straight classic.
Those were the days
remember when fatalities were legal on youtube?
Yeah,back when punching peoples heads off and exploding them in 16 but graphics was the worst we had.those were the days
wait what? cant show fatalities anymore? what kind of pussies are running the show now???
@@Ulfhednar-o9t no I think it’s movesets I have yet to see a channel showing button inputs. Unless if the vids are age restricted...
Hope its not the cancel culture lol
@@dimelo8826 Worse: Susan
The announcer in MK 1 is basically Shang Tsung (old version) and in MK2-MK3-UMK3-Trilogy the announcer is none other than Shao Khan. I love it when he says "I WIN".
MK4 and Deadly Alliance is Quan Chi, and Deception and Armageddon is Onaga.
I never noticed that. Great detail!
@@coltgun876it's onaga?? the voice looks so much like quan chi
i think the new mk is shang tsung
the way he says the things
@@coltgun876good details tbh, what about mk9 and 10? these 2 are insainly good
I don’t know about you all but I love when they say “Flawless Victory” 🤷🏻♂️
Same
The voice is flawless 🙂
Yes
Specially in Deception and Armageddon
Its arousing I know
Stevie Richie is the best!
(MK2/MK3)
BARAKA_10 also shaolin Monks, just not pitched down as in 2 and 3
Mk9
@@Raza9428 mk2/mk3/mksm > mk9
I hope he makes a komeback
Yup
1:05
"Friendship..."
"Friendship?!"
2:33
"Friendship..."
"Friendship?! Again?"
Lmao I just died.
Can people stop dying jeez.
Be careful. there’s a spy in our mists.
@@JustMillie23
"Right behind you."
XDDD
they actually questioned it lolololol.
5:50 That "fight" was perfect.
The ultimate man voice crack
Honestly though. I really do like that narrator the best.
It kinda sounds like Venom
Thats the same of mk9 XD
I love how the announcer pronounces Baraka’s name in Deception.
Mk 10 announcer sounded vicious and menacing as if we are truly fighting to the death, a Mortal Kombat.
For real. You can feel the intensity and malice in his voice
Jamieson Price has voiced the MK announcer since MK9. Still voices the announcer to this day.
It’s almost like having Shao Khan as the announcer, at least before the voice actor of Shao got added and the actual announcer got auto tuned or something.
MK9 is the best announcer deep and more natural voice
Free Audio yeah that shit was dope
He sounds too forced in MK9
I prefer Armageddon personally because it fits the apocalyptic tone like no other.
I think the voice became much worst after mk9
@Meher Chaithanya was
4:16 Good Lord that's a big roster!
@Collin Grott So true, and you have to pay for everything lol
KD Lee yea because they’re we’re no dlc’s back in the day
Armageddon was suppose to be the conclusion to an era. ( much like Mortal Kombat Trilogy ) hence why every character returned. ( with the exception of Tremor & the rest of the characters from Mortal Kombat Special Forces )
@Collin Grott I think that's because nrs puts alot more detail in characters and their moves. They prefer quality over quantity.
It was supposed to be the last game so of course it had a big roster it had all the characters
0:38 Mortal Kombat fans may not know Steve Ritchie by sight, but his booming voice has become iconic within the franchise. Twenty-five years ago, Ritchie was recruited to be the new voice of Mortal Kombat II, and he unleashed his take on the majority of the series’ most famous lines including “Fatality,” “Flawless Victory,” and the ever popular “Round 1… Fight!”
Barrrrrraaakkkaa! I been saying his name like that since MK2 lol.
I love how he rolls the r's..rrrrrrrrrtheptile rrrrrrrrrthaiden!
Steve Richie will always be the best Shao Kahn.
Mortal Kombat II had the best announcer of all games!
Agreed. MK 3 was the same announcer. But MK 2 introduced us to it and we were in awe
UMK3 wasn’t too shabby, either.
@@corelltemple2939 Yes, its the same announcer Steve Richie. The MK3 vocal sound bites were passed unto UMK3 with some additional taunts and character name recordings
deception: did you say something?🤨
@@Fayes13 FAX!!!
Not gonna lie, all this time I thought it was Shao Kahn saying all that lmao
Isn't it?
@@LordVader1094 apperantly not...at least for the first couple of games.
MK1's announcer is Shang Tsung, MK2's and (U)MK3's is Shao Kahn, and MK4's is Quan Chi. Every other announcer is supposedly Shao Kahn too, but we're never told, we're just left assuming because of the announcer's deep voice.
Funnily enough, MK11 has Shao Kahn as two announcers: the default one from ever since MK9, and the actual Shao Kahn from this game.
@ And the announcer for MK9 through MK11 voiced Bi Han in MK9 and Ermac in MKX. Not sure what this means
Yup
MkvsDC had a pretty badass announce voice but the game was trash
Game is underrated
Fatality wise, yes, but the game itself was solid.
@@JumugiDesunra Agreed, I had lots of fun playing MK vs DC storymode.
@Meher Chaithanya To you, not to me.
@Meher Chaithanya Sorry but the guy that's called "everyone" doesn't have the same opinion as you.
MK Deception was on a different league, unforgettable voice.
MK Deception/Unchained
To this day, mk2/mk3/mortal Kombat trilogy is what’s on my head to this day for actual announcer. I’m older now but when I see mortal kombat is what I think they should bring back. However the guy is older . His voice is not the same
With all technology and set ups, costumes etc.they should've treat us with announer set up voices
His voice just got deeper and more fluent 😌
0:15 before puberty 6:00 after puberty
UMK3, MK Deception and MK9 still the best voices.
Only ultimate
It because the announcer is shaokahn himself
Mk deception had the best announcer in my opinion
Mk9 be like round t-FIGHT
@@radicalpineapple5382 mk9 is still superior idc
Such classic voices. Can't wait to get an updated video with "THE TEAHOUSE"
Voice Announcer 1993-1996 the best imo
Armageddon holds a special place in my heart.
Same
The memories ❤
"scorpion wins! Friendship- FRienDsHip???"
liberate my mind. “Friendship...again?!?” ;D
@John Travolta tf?
MK4 is My favourite, it feels like the most obscure of all, it really sounds like some kind of demon's voice.
You forgot Hara-kiri
My favorite announcer word
Dude I LOVE the 3D era announcer lol especially in Deception
Deadly Alliance was my first MK game. Unforgettable. MK11's announcer voice seems like a step back.
For me the 3D game announcer was the best, such a devilish voice. Sometimes it was scarier than some of the fatalities
It sounded too much artificial. Mk2 announcer is more natural
MKvsDC announcer is underrated. The way he annunciates along with the tone of voice and the audio adjustment makes it sound like he’s right there making the huge announcement.
I’ll even say each announcer voice has been good in all games
Way underrated.. how this only got 3 likes.. DC vs mortal voice easily
Factual.
Bro, his “Round 1” just basically feel like an grand event is about to endure
yeah he's the announcer for deception and armageddon
I love the way Steve Richie says Reptile. Its like " *RRROPTILE* " 1:51
Deception & Armageddon will always be my favorite MK games
Mortal Kombat 4's announcer is still my favorite.
MK4 announcer had the best sounding tone of voice and the reverb on it made even more enjoyable
The announcer is Shinnok
@@1Soniccooli think it's quan chi
@@rikybj0276 It is Quan Chi
Yes that damn announcer on mk4 is top tier
Mk4 was herman sanchez
Nothing’s more scarier than playing Armageddon konquest in the dark “OUTSTANDING”
Unpopular Opinion, MKvsDC's is one of the best. My personal favourite is the newer one, MKX-MK11 announcer
On my tier list for mk mkvsdc is on a list bc i dont do fatalities
you mean MK9 - MK11?
mk vs dc announcer was awesome !
I love how in Mortal Kombat II the announcer say "friendship...friendship?". I don't know why but I love it
because this game for fighting and killing not for making friend in each other
for this reason the announcer wondering !!
Me too, I felt disappointed when it was removed in MK11
MK 3 Ultimate best ever!!!!!🔥🔥🔥
Its mk2 announcer
I miss the old MK, it’s the late 90s I’m in middle school or something, staying up late at my older sisters house on the weekends and playing N64 until the sun came up. Good times
Kids it’s time for school! (Realizing it’s Monday morning now with no sleep) FATALITY!!!!!
Am I the only one who loves the Deadly Alliance voice?
Mk 2 and 3 will forever have the best announcer voices
"FRIENDSHIP." "FRIENDSHIP?" "AGAIN??" 🤷🏾♂️🤔 :(
The voice of MK2, MK3 and Shaolin Monks is the same, I love it, my favorite
I always loved how shao kahn said "kung lao" in mk2. Shao kahn's mk2 voice was the absolute best imo!😎
MK9 holds a special place in my heart ❤️
The way the MK2-Trilogy Shao Kahn used to say "Rrrrreptile" or "Rrrrraiden". Freaking awesome.
2:44 MK4 my favourite!
MK9 had the best narrator/announcer voice I always loved that voice for some reason
For me, the announcer from MK Deadly Alliance through Armaggedon will be my favorite. Not only did I legitimately get creeped out by it as a kid along with the darker atmosphere but it just sounds badass as hell. 🤘🔥
Quan Chi is the announcer in Deadly Alliance 😊 always loved it too
His voice sounds too corny for me.
He was the same at MK4.
MK2-MK3 and MK9-MK11 The best of the best!
Fax
@@youjreal9469 fax
Mk11's is quiet as hell
C'mon, you know damn well that MKDA - MKA is godly.
I love the deadly alliance, deception, and MKvsDC ones
Deception will always be my favourite. Sounded so badass. Will never forget the way he said "FATALITY!"
I swear, if Shang Tsung doesnt become an announcer in MK11 Like Johnny and Raiden and Shao Kahn, imagine Cary Tagawa's fucking voice going “finish him!!”
Jamieson Price has the best voice in MK9-MK11
The friendship ones killed me😂 u can tell the big difference and growth in this game
2:37 Mercy was a thing back then?!?!
They had it in mk3 and umk3 for a while
You know what would be nice, if you can pick an announcer in the next mortal kombat through out the mortal kombat history. Instead of just one two or 3 voices. But then again that would be hard. Just a thought.
You can do it in MK 11..
My personal favorites are the announcers for 4, Deception, Armageddon, 9, and X. All ofnthem.have something that make the announcers voice special but I didn't always like the way they said it so ye
MK4 voice is the more badass🔥
That’s my favorite one too 🔥
That's Quan Chi
Absolutely
i tell everyone this. mk4 quan chi had the darkest mk like tone the game needs now .
Milos9 and its my favorite
Jamieson Price never cease to amaze me with his SUPERB voice acting.
Mortal Kombat 1's "FIGHT" is so vicious sounding. I love it to this day.
Let see
Mortal kombat annoucer : Shang Stung
Mortal kombat 2 annoucer : Shao Kahn (a.k.a let me *Shoude Changer * you my power.
Ultimate and Mortal kombat 3 annoucer : Shao Kahn again.
Mortal kombat 4 and gold annoucer : Quan Chi.
Mortal kombat deadly aliance : Quan Chi.
Mortal kombat deception and Unchained : ????
Mortal kombat Shaolin Monk annoucer : Still Shao Kahn.
Mortal kombat Armergedon annoucer : Shao Kahn????
Mortal kombat vs Dc annoucer : ????
Mortal kombat 9 annoucer : Shao Kahn.
Mortal kombat x annoucer :????
Mortal kombat 11 annoucer : ????
@Rakanoth Phán quan hỏa ngục the voice announcer for Mortal Kombat Deception and Unchained is Onaga.
@@TatsuOnBlockFGC Really!
@Rakanoth Phán quan hỏa ngục yeah!
OK
There's a way in Mortal Kombat 11 where you can make kronica the announcer
6:05 the screaming in the background with scorpion just standing there had me rolling for some reason 💀
My favorite MK game was MK Deception, bc it was my first MK game and I loved her de announcer, but I still loving the actual one.
A pretty amazing work has been done with him.
Yo it's wicked game of the series I had a blast with the game back in the day
Same out here bro
The darkest game and the best IMO.
Flawless victo-
FATALITY
I like how you can also get Johnny Cage as an announcer voice in MK11. He’s pretty funny.
In my opinion mk9 had the best voice.
I wish the rebooted trilogy of MK games brought back Steve Ritchie and Hernan Sanchez back as the announcers cause they were the best in that department by miles. I loved MK9-MK11 but the announcer was honestly a massive step back compared to the rest of the games before them.
Yeah me too
Don't forget Ed Boon [yes, he was also one of the announcer voices since in MK1 (1992) he made Shang Tsung's voice]
I came here because someone said that the new Mortal Kombat 1’s announcer voice sounded tired 💀
Steve Richie and Jamieson Price are priceless.💯
The Shaolin Monks Announcer is my favorite. He sounds so cold and brutal. Esoecially when he says Fatality. It is a bloody eargasm to me ears 🥰❤❤❤❤❤.
MK4 AND MKDA has the best
In my opinion MK 2 had The BEST voice! Deep, Dark and scary.
mk9 and mkx had deeper darker and scarier voices
Am i the only one that Loves MK4? 🤔
@Gonzalo Acosta Not alone on that one buddy I loved MK4 despite what people say about it. It had my personal favorite announcer and soundtrack of any MK game imo. Shaolin Monks is my favorite in terms of Steve Richies delivery of the lines as it sounds so badass. Gameplay-wise MK9, MKX and MK11 are the best in that regard but in regards to the announcers and soundtrack, they don't even compare to older games.
My favorite will always be the original announcer, I played alot in arcade and it just sounds epic and surreal, like it is a voice from an unnatural being.
Shang Tsung MK1
@@JARED8946 Who does that voice?
@@CaseyScoffieldWOW Ed Boon
@@JARED8946 reallyyyyy?
@@CaseyScoffieldWOW steve ritchie
I really loved the soundtrack/announcer in MK4, the prison and goro's lair were some serious bangers. Wish mk11 had that level of stylishness. It feels a little plain to me with it's super hero movie soundtrack aesthetic.
mk4 had really creepy atmosphere. Main menu itself was scary as hell
Mk Shaolin Monks sounds so dastardly. Especialy when he says Fatality. So epic.
_MKII,_ _Deadly Alliance,_ and _Shaolin Monks_ have my personal favorite announcers.
Shaolin Monks voice is MK2&3 just not pitched down.
Mk X announcers voice is perfect. Definitely the best
Deadly Alliance and Deception were by far my favorite probably because I grew up playing those 2 on my PS2 also Herman Sanchez just has that voice ya know?
My fave has always been MK 3... but Mk1 always had this kind of charm. Since 3 they've been going for Monster Voice which is certainly one thing you can do, but you know not the only thing you can do.
midway’s voice announcer is such a classic and i mean specifically deception and armageddon’s
You know what's more outstanding ?? Sheevas scream after being impaled in stage fatalities. Imagine being caught off guard late night and hearing that ?? It's overly dramatic and monster like.
That being said, I think MK 2 and MK 1 are the best. Such a retro sound yet timeless.
- ERRMAQ / Lost Angeles
MK1: Shang Tsung is the announcer. Notice the older voice, one that is changed for MK2 and 3. Also, canonically Shang's overseeing everything, so it makes sense.
MK2-3: Shao Kahn. This is the most obvious announcer to pinpoint, with him saying "I win" if he beats you, and not commenting on your victory if you happen to defeat him.
MK4: Fairly certain it's Quan Chi. The voice is identical to his, and it fits his role as Shinnok's enforcer. A character as relatively important as him is bound to be in the announcer role.
MK Deadly Alliance-Armageddon: If I'm hearing right, it's the same actor as MK4's. However, it really only makes sense for Quan Chi to be the announcer for Deadly Alliance out of all these games, as he has fairly minor roles in both Deception and Armageddon. Would've liked to see Onaga and Blaze take the helm for those games respectively. That being said, this is absolutely the best announcer, imo
Shaolin Monks: Admittedly haven't played this one, but with the voice bearing resemblance to the MK2 announcer, and with Shaolin Monks being a retelling of MK1 and MK2, I'm guessing it's Shao.
MK vs DC Universe: Again, it's the 3D era midway voice. Quan Chi actually has some role in this games story, and he isn't playable, so maybe it could be him as some overseer. Other then that, dunno.
MK9-X: No specific character is tied to the announcer. The VA of the announcer does play Noob and (I think) Bi Han, but I don't think those characters are commentating. I'm fairly certain the announcer is some otherworldly voice at this point, like in Deception and Armageddon
MK11: Same with MK9 and X for the Klassic voice. However, Shao Kahn, Kronika, Johnny and Robocop are all unlockable/buyable announcers. So hey, at least the game spells it out for us
Mk9-X I think its Shao Kahn again.
Definitely not Shao for X, as he's canonically dead at that point. But maybe for 9 yeah, they do sound similar despite the different VA's
I love mk9 , Armageddon and deception
In mk1 when you get flawless victory and a fatality it sounds cool
I’ve always wondered who’s the voice actor who did the announcer in the first Mortal Kombat.
It's Ed Boon himself..
Mk4-MKvsDC will always be my favorite announcer voice along with the classic Shao Kahn MK2 and 3 voice
This game has truly came a long way, specially with the graphics
The announcer is suppose to be the final boss voice
It was in the 2D era and it returned in Shaolin Monks and it also became optional in MK11.
In MK1 the announcer & final boss is Shang Tsung.
In MK2 & MK3/UMK3/MKT & MKSM the announcer & final boss is Shao Kahn.
In MK11 the final boss and one of the announcer voices is Kronika.
Imo the deadly alliance announcer is underrated, it sounds amazing when he says FIGHT
Even as the announcer would get better in later games, the original Mortal Kombat announcer was great with how it sounded when he said “Fight!”
I gotta say, Announcer MKII is the best IMO.
