I don’t think it’s talked about in game, but if you notice the sparks of Raiden, they’re blue when he teleports in and out. But when it’s Fake Raiden, they’re Orange like fire
Funny thing is I learned that detail from an old video series called Mortal Komedy where they made fun of the parts where Shang tsung was pretending to be raiden, and the real raiden shows up near the end and keeps telling the protagonists that they should’ve known the difference cause his lightening was blue, while Shang Tsung’s was orange 😂
Fun fact: There was a Demo that was released that let you play through a portion of the first stage and it ended with the boss fight vs baraka. What is funny is that the scene of Liu Kang looking at the monk originally had NO DIALOGUE. They ADDED him saying "Are you okay?" fully knowing it was the stupidest thing to ask x3.
So basically: (Spoiler alert) Raiden is an irresponsible prick The Elder Gods are irresponsible pricks Shang Tsung follows Sun Tzu’s Art of War quote “To confuse the enemy, you must confuse yourself first”. Sonya is not strong independent wahmen in this game. Kano does what he does best: Sucking Liu Kang being dumber than Kung Lao (so much for being the chosen one) Jade got MK1 Kenshi’d by Liu Kang and Mileena got spared by the same mf. Kitana being a MK VS DC Wonder Woman or something(“Thank you” and then “Dont touch me”, “You killed my best friend!” and then “I don’t blame you for killing my best friend”)
Kitana possibly hooking up with Liu Kang in the end after he killed her best friend was bad and we didn't know Jade actual intentions since she was killed.
In Old Lore Jade was Loyal to Shao Khan over Kitana (it was immediately retconned but she was close to k*ll Kitana in Mortal Kombat 2 [i think]) so it's possible this was based on that
@@aleanddragonITAJade first story in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 have her in a ultimatum in staying loyal to Shao Kahn or side with Kitana the end of her story reveals she chose to side with Kitana and turned against Shao Kahn.
@aleanddragonITA Her only story prior to UMK3 which was II which she wasn't playable in was just her spying on the tournament making sure everything is good she never fought Kitana in her original story.
We are definitely not. People have been saying this game need to sequel for years, and it's like netherrealm plugs in their ears. Ed boone said a strong no to creating your own character coming back, no way another monks game is coming. The 2000s were mks golden years, i feel like it's vs games from this point on.
So Liu Kang hits Mileena with a staff and kicks her away basically sparing her but he stabs Jade in the eyes with two sais then tell Kitana she was trying to kill him and Liu Kang like Mileena wasn't also? Yeah ok
The more you cover the story for Mortal Kombat games, the more the Elder Gods turn out to be bigger douches than even the Greek gods. The joke at 57:08 is pretty damn accurate for Raiden's role in the the whole series. Thanks to you and your brother for your torment in getting bodied by Shao Kahn (let alone Reptile's massive snake) repeatedly for our entertainment.
I loved this game so much as a kid, man. Between this and Dynasty warriors 4, it was the most played game on my ps2. i had to get another copy cause it was all scratched to hell. I hope they remaster this soon, it really deserves it.
11:55 call me biased but this snake was so fun 17:53 that was so personal 🤣 18:31 meme of the CENTURY 🤣 32:47 fun fact: kung lao said that he wants to kill shang tsung in this game
If we do get a remake, I kinda want the option to play the story mode as Scorpion to be dropped in favour of playing the story mode as Johnny Cage. He at least helps out a few times in the story mode, so it'd be cool to play as one of the other heroes
I remember an Old Theory back around 2009, Shaolin Monks Liu Kang are believed to be a Younger Shujinko due to him being more brutal and believing whatever he does is for the greater good. Since this is totally Against Liu Kang personality. In MK1 and Half of MK2, Liu Kang are against Violence. Other theories said that MK vs DC was a continuation of Shaolin Monks, practicly an Unofficial Reboot. But its all just a Theory, Game Theory.
13:54 this part was the worst part in the game hands down. my friend and i must have fallen down like 30 times and i was just sighing while he was laughing at how bad that "boss fight" was.
The best line delivery in this game behind “are you okay” is “Our friends! Where are our friends!” I love how it just blends into “R friends Wer r r friends”
**sees the title** So is this your declaration of war? Have we done something to for you to forsake us like this? EDIT: watched the video, agree the story scks. I will put down my scorpion spear now
I always appreciate these videos, specially the part where you're both playing the game. Reminds me of when I used to play basically everything with my brother too!
I kinda hate Shaolin Monks sometimes lol. The gameplay, art design, soundtrack, violence, easter eggs and the overall atmosphere are just NAILED IT/10. We were this close to having the absolute perfect MK game, if only the story and the script weren't so embarrassingly bad. :/
I remember playing this with my brother too, that Shao Khan boss fight was really frustrating. I remember being so hyped when we found out about the Ermac boss fight tho
I'm playing Shoalin Monks for my channel right now, every monday is what i'm gonna be calling Mortal Monday and will be uploading MK kontent every monday until there is none left, Deception is most likely next but i might just go back to the beginning as Shoalin Monks was just an easy starting point for me as it's shorter than the other games of the era. along with Mortal Monday's i'll be uploading another classic game on Friday's, I've currently got Crash Bandicoot 2 (original), Toy Story 2,Enter The Matrix and as previously stated the whole MK franchise koming, I'm trying to get 500 subscribs by the end of the year. One day i'm hoping to be the biggest archive of completed games on RUclips, Great video as always SonicHaXD
Wouldnt say impossible but that shit is hard you gotta unlock his snow ball move which is only usable after his slide which makes that part of the boss battle very annoying
Definitely not impossible, but it becomes extra difficult and annoying. Freeze throw actually deals damage, but very very little. If you get the timing right, you can keep a foe frozen forever by hitting him with another freeze as soon as he's able to move again. Do it right, and you should be able to get through this Baraka's phase with relative ease. Still a pain in the arse though, especially when hitting the first shot.
25:33 reminds me of Transformers, where in the japanese continuity, Soundblaster is one of the 13 Primes, something that was discarded and replaced by him being an clone of Soundwave created by Shockwave
Shao Kahn's second phase is basically the antithesis to the rest of the boss fights. Instead of getting to bully him, you have to run around the arena and use your long jump until he does the spin and gets tired, smack him with a projectile or Kintaro's noggin, then start running again. It's fairly long but it is all about following that pattern.
One thing I love about Deception's open world and Shaolin Monks semi open world is how great they treat the characters. Reptile isn't just a sidekick that the only purpose is to die by the hands of heroes. Baraka is evil and actually cool to play against. Scorpion actually uses a lot of his netherrealm powers that we only see a little bit. It's amazing. I also like to think that when this mk ends, with Quan Chi grabbing the amulet, Mk Deadly Alliance begins. I know it erases mk 4 and that Shang Tsung/Shao Kahn just died. but it makes a lot of sense if u think that no one really dies in this universe.
I have to say, the story became significantly less interesting when it was revealed that Shang Tsung was posing as Raiden pretty much the entire time. I thought that was the single most intriguing aspect of the game's story, trying to sus out when Raiden was actually trying to help us and when Shang Tsung was leading us into a trap. Sometimes it seemed obviously Shang and others it seemed obviously Raiden, but then there were just as many times where I genuinely couldn't tell and that kept me interested... But then Jax pops in and tells me no, it's just Shang Tsung being extremely contradictory for some reason. Even if that's how it was always meant to be, the story feels much weaker by telling me than if it had just left me to speculate
1. Why am I not surprised to watch this video? 2. The most interesting parts of the story: (In my opinion) Shang Tsung: *Trying to make the Shaolin brothers go against each other using Raiden's soul* Liu Kang and Kung Lao: *Going on an adventure to Outworld to save Sonya and kill Baraka and Shao Kahn* Reptile: *Having a giant pet snake* (Kitana wasn't interesting at all) Sub-Zero: *Rejecting his plan of Revenge on Scorpion and wanting to help his brother*
God, I remember playing this game when I was a kid, this is the game that made lu kang and kung lau my favorite characters because they were such bros. Really brought back my nostalgia. Glad to see you covering it.
Age of Calamity is like Marvel and Dragon Ball Z (I will ignore Super) where time travel just makes an alternate universe past. Breath of the Wild still happened, there's just an alternate world now where shit DIDN'T get worse before it got better...just like Marvel and Dragon Ball Z.
Question: if you did replay from Shang Tsung rather than using *the power of the ancestors*, do you think it’d be harder, the same or easier than MK9’s Challenge 300?
18:34 this scene is like a Page Kennedy vine skit. XD Liu Kang: "are you okay?" The man: (speaks in Page Kennedy style) "B****, do i look like i'm okay? You stupid motha- AW!!!" XD
I think the main reason why Kung Lao doesnt tells to Liu Kangs about Shang Tsung deception is because he needed more time to see his friend after seeing it was a fake one before with Goro´s fight.
While I don't mind a bit of foreshadowing for the next game, yeah, there was no reason to have Quan Chi show up at the end. This is also the first game to give him his Deadly Alliance design and disregard the purpose of the red markings on his head and arms. They were supposed to be the key to how he would control Onaga's army but since he wasn't a necromancer, he needed Shang Tsung to activate the army. Now they are no different than tattoos he just wears for kicks. Since this game doesn't mention Onaga, we have to wonder if he or his army even exist in this universe. If they don't, then they might as well just be cool tattoos he wears for kicks. The same applies for MK vs DC.
It's really interesting to me that me and my brother as kids blow 12 years old found out that if you lock down on shao and spam dodge botton he couldn't hit you at all with his spinning move Ngl all of that was after losing for 5 days straight tho
Absolute accurate the fact that a run of shaolin monks focus 99% of the players efforts in the final fight, that is craaaaaazy. I remember the first time i beat it, the game crashed on the cinematic and it broke my mind to this day. Buuut there is a way to cheese this fight, if you take kung lao's final hat attack, the one that it keeps spinning around his body and you do his slinding ground kick move, since Kintaro and Shao Kahn are heavy and dont move, they eat up ALL the hits and you dish out a absurd amount of damage lol

LMAO XD
How many times did Liu Kang & Shang Tsung got their neck snapped?
How many times did Kung Lao?
This franchise sure likes neck snapping
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ah... I hate them for this but definitely got me dead laughing so hard. 😂🤣💀☠️
So it's not JUST those AI Intro videos that konstantly joke about Lao's neck?
Kitana:"YOU KILLED JADE! SHE'S WAS MY FRIEND!!!!!"
Liu kang and kung lao:"🧍🏻🧍🏽♂️"
Liu kang: yeah but did you not see how I finished her off, that was pretty cool.
Liu Kang to jade: Are you okay?
It's _Kung Leo_ now.

That shit cracks me up even to this day.

What is funny is that the scene of Liu Kang looking at the monk originally had NO DIALOGUE. They ADDED him saying "Are you okay?" fully knowing it was the stupidest thing to ask x3.

MK Mythologies Sub-Zero
Special Forces
@@MaikoTen which was the worst spin off MK game.
@@RazuX5 Gotta go with Special Forces. At least Sub-zero: Mythologies had a decent story, cringe acting aside.
The fatality on baraka gotta be my favorite along Shaolin Soccer.
The concept of the poor Monks he's murdered getting revenge is so frickin' cool
It was my least favorite fatality... But from that point of view it does kick arse
So basically: (Spoiler alert)
Raiden is an irresponsible prick
The Elder Gods are irresponsible pricks
Shang Tsung follows Sun Tzu’s Art of War quote “To confuse the enemy, you must confuse yourself first”.
Sonya is not strong independent wahmen in this game.
Kano does what he does best: Sucking
Liu Kang being dumber than Kung Lao (so much for being the chosen one)
Jade got MK1 Kenshi’d by Liu Kang and Mileena got spared by the same mf.
Kitana being a MK VS DC Wonder Woman or something(“Thank you” and then “Dont touch me”, “You killed my best friend!” and then “I don’t blame you for killing my best friend”)
If neither realm can remake a MK game like this, all their money problems will go away
“grr I’m mad this game sucks because my pookie reptile died”
-SonicHaXD
TRUE XD
@@Athecius239 please don't say pookie I can physically feel my brain rotting lol
You know Lu kang & Kung Lao are true bffs because they share the same brain cell
Kung Lao hogs the brain cell sometimes XD
@Rivər
Other times, Lu Kang hogs it, leaving Kung Lao to die like in MK9
Liu Kang : Hmm.. I gonna make scorpion wife married to Kuai liang now
Hold up there. Kung Lao clearly has one extra brain cell besides the shared one.
I mean technically Shao cheated massively. If its anyone's fault its Raidens for not warning him or interfering@@thatonea-hole

I blame this game for ruining Kung Lao's character by giving him an inferiority complex. The game is goated otherwise.
Ye
I just think he was just a unbearable twit.

"The plan was to do nothing and hope the heroes win" sounds like the Elder Gods to me
So Liu Kang hits Mileena with a staff and kicks her away basically sparing her but he stabs Jade in the eyes with two sais then tell Kitana she was trying to kill him and Liu Kang like Mileena wasn't also? Yeah ok
By the sound of it, it feels like Shang Tsung has more influence over the Mortal Kombat tournament than the Elder Gods.
That's more or less the gist of it
Pretty much, the Elder Gods do nothing most of the time, and when they do, it's just to complicate things even more

One thing I love about Deception's open world and Shaolin Monks semi open world is how great they treat the characters.
Reptile isn't just a sidekick that the only purpose is to die by the hands of heroes. Baraka is evil and actually cool to play against. Scorpion actually uses a lot of his netherrealm powers that we only see a little bit. It's amazing.
I also like to think that when this mk ends, with Quan Chi grabbing the amulet, Mk Deadly Alliance begins.
I know it erases mk 4 and that Shang Tsung/Shao Kahn just died. but it makes a lot of sense if u think that no one really dies in this universe.
I have to say, the story became significantly less interesting when it was revealed that Shang Tsung was posing as Raiden pretty much the entire time.

It just dawned on me 20 years later that I never finished this game, furthest I got was killing Jade...
1. Why am I not surprised to watch this video?
2. The most interesting parts of the story: (In my opinion)
Shang Tsung: *Trying to make the Shaolin brothers go against each other using Raiden's soul*
Liu Kang and Kung Lao: *Going on an adventure to Outworld to save Sonya and kill Baraka and Shao Kahn*
Reptile: *Having a giant pet snake* (Kitana wasn't interesting at all)
Sub-Zero: *Rejecting his plan of Revenge on Scorpion and wanting to help his brother*

i suppose the projections that are fighting are not of kung lao and liu kangs ancestors but rather foreshadowing of liu kang vs raiden fighting
I won't lie I get excited seeing the Reptile Art cause I love how creative they are
Question: if you did replay from Shang Tsung rather than using *the power of the ancestors*, do you think it’d be harder, the same or easier than MK9’s Challenge 300?
I don't think it would be harder then MK9’s Challenge. I replayed Shaolin Monks and it wasn't too hard XD
so a bit tips on shaw khan fight. use kintaro head to stun lock him.
throw, grab(kintaro head), run, repeat
Kung Lay-o: Are you okay?
18:34 this scene is like a Page Kennedy vine skit. XD
Liu Kang: "are you okay?"
The man: (speaks in Page Kennedy style) "B****, do i look like i'm okay? You stupid motha- AW!!!" XD
Great work Sonic XD! Keep it up👍
I think the main reason why Kung Lao doesnt tells to Liu Kangs about Shang Tsung deception is because he needed more time to see his friend after seeing it was a fake one before with Goro´s fight.
This game has my favorite Shao Kahn performance. Really glad they brought back Steve Ritchie from actual MK2
You should make a video where you compare the rules of all MK tournaments
That could be fun XD
While I don't mind a bit of foreshadowing for the next game, yeah, there was no reason to have Quan Chi show up at the end.

Absolute accurate the fact that a run of shaolin monks focus 99% of the players efforts in the final fight, that is craaaaaazy. I remember the first time i beat it, the game crashed on the cinematic and it broke my mind to this day. Buuut there is a way to cheese this fight, if you take kung lao's final hat attack, the one that it keeps spinning around his body and you do his slinding ground kick move, since Kintaro and Shao Kahn are heavy and dont move, they eat up ALL the hits and you dish out a absurd amount of damage lol
31:44 can someone make a yassified edit of this screenshot pls. It was that sass and actitud that makes it iconic.
