- The game isn't BAD, it's just really weird and really is a product of its time. Pixel art holds up much better in my opinion.

Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed!
I just finished my second year of college and I’m on summer break, so I’m gonna be uploading much more frequently, consider subbing if you wanna see!
I can't believe how nothing Kai's ending is.
Raiden: You did it, congratulations.
Kai: Thanks, but I have problems.
Raiden: What will you do now?
Kai: I dunno... just walk around or something.
Raiden: Here, take this stick, shove it up your ass and never return.
So real lmao
🤔 I must have missed the last part 😂
you should look at the kai ending in mortal kombat armageddon,
SPOILERS
he won the tournament and gained the power to see the past and the future and when he went to look into the future he saw nothing
🤣🤣
Yo this is great
9:42 Kitana's thug walk will never fail to make me laugh 😂
Liu Kang wanted to see the thugshaker.
15:16 ain't got nothing on Reiko's Kombat Kouture catwalk
And then interrupts him. I would refuse her offer too😂
Followed by the violent head shakes like she's having a seizure.
@@EdwinTylerShe’s doing the Stone Cold Steve Austin 😂
Jax: wrong jarek this not a brutality its a Fatality best ending
Shinnok: Infidel you are in no position to demand anything I could kill you with a mere thought!
@@acenewman8266Reptile: But, I though we had a deal!
Shinnok: A deal? I have never been a god of my word, Reptile. All deals are OFF!
Ironically, Johnny's cutscene was one of the least insane.
Hahahahaha
it was more comedic relief course watchin Sub-Zero randomly get pimp slapped by Quan Chi was pretty funny
Mortal Kombat 4 was truly one of the MK games of all time 🔥🔥🔥
One of the games of all time
It’s not quite as bad as it’s made out to be by the video. It’s kinda mindless fun.
The goofiest too XD
EXACTLY
What?
I've always respected how a character like Kai made it into the game. He reminds me of a respectful warrior with a simple goal in life.
Sadly, it also makes him the most forgotten character. Even his Armageddon ending shows him only darkness. And he hasnt been in a game since.
@@MLBlue30 they really could've made Kai a staple in the main cast if they really wanted to. Wasted potential tbh.
@@majortom331 Dude didn't even get thrown a cameo in the MK11 comics (or was it MKX). Looks like he's not showing up on the leaked roster for MK1 either. Smfh.
@@MLBlue30 That's because he died in Armageddon. Also due to the timeline reboot, Kai may not even exist in the reboot timeline as Liu Kang and Kung Lao both died and became revenants. Instead he was replaced by Kung Jin.
@@MLBlue30 he's not the most forgotten character tho. many people have been asking for him to return in the reboot since mkX. And now people want him in the new reboot as well
The Mortal Kombat 4 endings are truly what makes this game great. I couldn't tell you how many late Friday nights me and my friends died laughing especially the Sub-Zero ending.
LIKE YOUR BROTHER BEFORE YOU, YOU HAVE SERVED MY PURPOSES WELL!
To this day I randomly start quoting Scorpions ending, it lives free rent in my mind and I can't help but think of it constantly
"Not the Lin Kueeyyy, and natchuuuuu"
The best thing about MK4 are the cheesy cutscenes.
Jarek and reptile are funny as hll😂
Jerricks scream makes me laugh every time
"Imsogaaaeeee" 😂🤣
Jerrick 💀
Honestly props to his VA, that awful scream is the only memorable thing about his character.
@earthworm_slim that's what I hear! Has the same essence of Mario's "So long gay Bowser" 🤣🤣
lmfaoo 😂 naw dawg naw that shit had me as a kid crying laughin
I have an emotional attachment to this game simply because when my parents were splitting my older brother and I would play this to keep me preoccupied from not freaking out over the divorce, so it really has a soft spot for me
I hope this game helped you heal a little bit, it’s not a bad game it’s just a little silly and your comment touched me. Video games have been a coping mechanism for many people such as myself, and any game that allows someone to get through a tough time is good in my book. I wish you the best ❤️
For brief moments these games let us escape reality
Even though my two biological parents never divorced, that's not to say I'm clueless about a divorce. My paternal half siblings experienced a divorce initiated by their mother in 1978 (even before I was born in 1992)🧠
Im sorry that you and your brother got split by ypur parents
😞
The whole sound effects when u grab and break their leg OH MY LEG still hilarious when I hear it .
Definitely a standout feature in this game lol
Honestly, mk4 was the last game that actually felt like an mk game. I think it was dan fordans amazing music that gave mk a lot of its identity and it all died when he left for future games.
Totally I remember going to Peter Piper pizza as much as possible as a 7 year old just to play this game .I always thought insert credit / continue screen falling down the well into the pit was fucking gnarly with the eerie music
It went down after deception for me
@@ps-lover8380After Armageddon for me.
“It all died” omg shush
I don't understand why MK4 is so underrated. I played it to death and enjoyed it.
Agreed.
I feel the same
Imagine if they put
Kai in MK1 and he had Raidens staff 🔥🔥🔥
This game is honestly a guilty pleasure for me. It may not hold a candle to some of the other titles in the series, but it's pretty fun once you understand how the game works.
This game was my mortal kombat introduction at 4 years old on the N64. Was also the first video game I ever played. Definitely in the top 3 for me it has The best announcer voice in the series.
& that soundtrack slaps.
doesnt have to be a guilty pleasure just cause youtubers love to hate on it cause it was different from the arcade games
@sonic-bb That's very true This game was the shit🔥🔥🔥🔥 & I'll bet more than half the people who hate on this game never played the original ports They're just going off p c or word of mouth
@sonic-bb oh I'm not saying it cuz of CZcamsrs, just as a general point of view. MK4 is not as popular as some of the other entries, but it still has its merits
I love it so fun
21:43 That SMACK out of nowhere gets me every time 🤣
I think it's funnier on the N64, where the cutscene uses the regular playable characters.
It's funny how the newest MK games try to make choosing a character as brutal as possible but still cannot top MK 4's dark terror feeling of choosing a character.
Lol I see what you mean. I was always scared at choosing a character in this hame
bruhhh that music and chime was diabolical lol
The fast pace and goofiness of this game makes it more fun than the previous games imo
Scorpion's ending and Quan Chi's pose while screaming NOOOOO had me in stitches.
Please review Mythologies and Special Forces.
Working on the mythologies video as we speak
scorpion just stood there LMFAO
@@silburrrrdurrrhe brought quan chi to his home, the worst place ever with Unlimited chors😂
MK1-3 aged much better than 4
I remember playing the crap out of MK4 with my friends. I still have a soft spot for this game. Also - character select theme is fire. I know it's just a short loop, but it's menacing as hell
Mk4 has so much personality and unique sound design. They went for it that’s for sure
The music and visuals of mk4 scared the shit out of me as a kid
@@edidiongedemeka2096felt like an AO rated game to me. A whole other level.
I wish those ending cutscenes made a come back. They are way cooler than those static images
Bro the Reptile ending makes me so mad💀
😂😂 shinnok blew his shit
This was my first mk
I know it's not necessarily great but damn i love this game
It's great 💯 Keep it real
"I've got too many of my own problems to deal with"
"Then what will you do next?"
"idk"
No matter what people say about this game...this shit is absolutely hilarious. Though I dont know what you mean by Quan Chi's moves being uninspired, that teleporting bicycle kick is legendary.
100! That fatality legendary
This dude be is a clown 🤡 CZcamsr
The N64 cutscenes are the best. Especially Quan Chi having muscles spasms while holding up the amulet.
I don't know what Kitana saw in you. Can't you see Liu Kang this is a trap! Oooh that jezebel Tanya!
I remember playing this game for the first time and I thought it was the most fire shit.
Same
This game to me is GOAT for MK. Not only for gameplay, but I remember my father and I playing this when I was in kindergarten and we stayed up all night trying to beat goro's silverback ass up.
He's young 😂😂😂 he doesn't understand
Reptile got it rough in this game
Reptile: can you bring my family back.
Shinnok: don't ask me for shit 😂
Dude should have mentioned Quan-chi's Leg beater Fatality. Is my favorite from any MK lol.
The mk4 n64 cutscenes are hillarious. Like "titi kaboom" "THIS IS A FATALITY" "IM SO GAAAY"
Great video! That scream going over the cliff😂😂😂😂
MK4 is definitely weird, but it is so fun to play. The combos are easy and really satisfying. I just got finished playing a couple rounds of MK4 Gold on ReDream
The fact you didn't cover Kai's handstand moves is really disappointing. You called his moveset boring then fail to cover the most unique thing about his moveset.
I love how in every ending regarding Scorpion, he’s whooping Quan Chi’s ass lmao
It's funny how certain ppl hate Kai so much but go super easy on Reiko 😂😂😂
The goofiness of the cut scenes are so nostalgic lmao
I've never had a CZcams video recommended to me so soon after it was published. This video was recommended to me 34 minutes after It went live.
This game was amazing when it first came out as a kid we loved this
I wanna walk like Reiko when I grow up
This MK series of yours got me to sub, very informative and entertaining. One little thing I hope to see in your future vids is that you give your personal opinion on character endings, some are just too dumb or silly to not say something about them lol.
It was funny as hell when you laugh at raiders ending when the giant face came on the screen cause I cracked up at that part too 😂😂😂😂
Mk4 was the first mortal kombat I ever played. It’s in my personal top three. I enjoyed the hell out of this game and it was hilarious too with the sound effects 😂😂😂
Mine was MK 2 to me 2 is the absolute BEST ONE of all the games.
@@coreyhall1150 yeah facts mk2 is goated. 💯
@@sidneygarcia7526 I mean the original games was just dark, violent, grim, and had a sense of humor. When they started getting all SERIOUS with the story it stopped being MK but that is MY OPINION.
Kai has an iconic design. Very simple and MK2-like.
Reiko is by FAR the best character in this game. If only you had utilized his special kick move. One of the best combo beasts in MK history.
I disagree, Quan Chi is the best character. His combos, he can steal your weapon, he has an uppercut kick (down+HK), he can also do everyone's 2nd fatality, has an air throw, his head stomp is OP, and his grab/throws do lots of damage.
Shinnok is the best character. He can mimic every character in the game and he has his own moveset which no other character can copy plus he's the final boss.
Reiko was my favourite too. Quan Chi was fun but that head stomp was so annoying to play against
@@kingconrad I'd honestly say Reiko is my 2nd choice and go to character after Quan Chi, that flip kick is amazing, but the only thing that messes up sometimes is his circle teleport (back, forward LK). When I'm doing an insane combo with him (Maximum Damage) and I try to teleport, it does this weird side angle thing where the other character has to run to me, but sorta off camera and the camera spins trying to keep up with the action which can throw you off, because the angle is weird.
@@QuietChaos7726 Shinnok is not the best character, sure he can use everyone's moves, but only for about 10 seconds. Also on certain consoles like Dreamcast there is a 5-6 second loading delay when you switch into someone else which makes it pointless, imagine a game totally stopping for 5-6 seconds mid combo, that's ridiculous. He also doesn't have his own moveset, the only thing he has is his weapon spear other than that he's an empty character. Him being an end boss means nothing, he was a trash boss in MK4, he's a Shang Tsung knockoff, but at least Mr. Tsung gave more of a challenge as a boss than him back in the day ' 92-'93 MKI/MKII
I hope you do really well and that your channel grows a lot
Loving this series man glad to see the success since you've started it!
The best fatal is this game will have to be Quan Chi's leg beatdown.
The beginning of reptile's downfall
Kai was not that bad of a character but ok 🥴
hes just trying to be edgy.
STEELE THE 🐐! We need more mk videos 💪🏼 their to good, i remember playing mk4 on the dreamcast like it was yesterday 😢
I think kai actually does have one cool set of moves, where he does handstand attacks
Mortal Kombat 4/Gold did more for the world building and lore than the previous 3 combined because of the cutscenes alone.
Thought I'd mention: Nothing was actually cut from the N64 version of MK4 apart from FMV cutscenes. It was practically a 1:1 port of the arcade version. You may be confusing it with Mortal Kombat Gold, was a updated release with more characters and stages, exclusive to PC and Sega Dreamcast, but never saw an arcade release.
People tend to forget that MK4 was also an arcade game. The arcade version lacks the FMVs, Goro, Noob Saibot, Meat, Endurance Mode, Shinnok's impersonations, and the Ice Pit level.
The universe of this game had an eerie empty feel to it, maybe because of the sound echoes
Great memories. MK4 on the PC had amazing audio (at the time). The soundtrack really added to the game. Reiko was my favourite (and his ending)... hopefully they will bring him back soon!
The cutscenes in this game felt like something out of a xavier renegade angel ep
MK4 was where the series went downhill.
Instead of finding ways to bring something new to digitized live-action character models like in the first three games, the devs instead went with stiff and generic 3D models.
The last arcade cabinet mk made. Used to love playing this at the skating rink arcade
Kai is referencing the same line from the old 70s series Kung Fu that Samuel L Jackson does in Pulp Fiction when he says he's just gonna walk the earth and find his soul.
Great video, mythologies came first and tied in so well with mk4. The temple stage is where sub zero broke into to steal the scroll. Man i love this game.
Been an MK4 fan since 97’. It’s not MK2 but I do appreciate them taking a leap into 3D even if some of the presentation is a bit rough in some spots and the fmvs are corny. This game has a lot of charm and I still from time to time will bust my ps1 copy out on my ps3 and play through it every once in a while.
I love how I’m Johnny’s ending when people are throwing stuff at him he says I saw that Arnold
I remember Loving the combo system for that game! Its still my favorite game in terms of combo because of how free flowing it was.
Love it! keep it going my man!
The Midway timeline is just different, man. Liu Kang declines to rule as a King over Paradise with his true love, to protect Earth, only to be assassinated soon after. Then he's revived, not by Quan Chi, but by Raiden. Quan Chi arrogantly reveals his plot that turned Hanzo and Bi Han into his slaves, only for Scorpion to chase him into Hell, leading to the discovery of Onaga's tomb...
Characters could have their own stories. They didn't have to shoehorn everyone into one narrative. And MK4 is the game that set up all the awesome things the next 2 games did, which coincidentally, are all the things NRS ruined in the second timeline.
Reason why Liu Kang can't get it on with Kitana was because of his Shaolin status. A Shaolin monk can't get married or get laid according to the law of being a monk. They also can't eat meat or drink alcohol either, this is one of the reason why Bo Rai Cho from Outworld was not invited to the Shaolin Tournament in the first MK game even though he's the sensei of both Liu Kang and Kung Lao in similar role to Gouken from Street Fighter, the sensei of Ryu and Ken.
I would take Midway stories over NRS bullshit any day. Those guys retcons their own ideas and cram too much special forces and Bay-styled exploding shit in a story that should focus on Ninjas, demons etc.
I fucking love your documentary kinda reminds me of GSTAR321, can't wait for ur Mortal Kombat deception video
Yooo and the stance Shinnok has @ 8:28 😂😂😂 he really possessing that dude mannn 😂😂
This video takes me back to the summer of 1998 which was 25 years ago when I got this game for the PS1.
Mortal Kombat 4 is definitely the video game ever
One of the video games of all time
Definitely the most video game.
This was great, I also love Dunkey's review of MK4. 😆
The N64 roster was not “cut down.”
It included everyone from the OG arcade version.
Yeah I was trying to say it was cut down from previous games, meaning umk3 and mk trilogy, I mentioned the n64 not having a whole lot of storage and the game being 3D meant they couldn’t have as many assets, that’s across all versions and I apologize that it came off as just the n64 being that way when it’s not
As a kid, this was the first game I played that had cutscenes and voice acting. I thought it was badass at the time but in adulthood it was the most cringe shit lol.
I really wish we had gotten a definitive arcade port for MK4. Would love to play the first 3D MK game in its best form.
Your background commentary was hilarious
I'm also gonna join the chorus of Kai fans. He had unique moves, and as a black person myself, it was refreshing to see multiple black characters in this game instead of just Jax as the token. I do agree that his backstory was lame though. Kai, Jerek, and Reiko have what I call Reptile Syndrome: fun to play as, but next to no personality or characterization (and by that I mean, Reptile is my favorite character gameplay-wise but he never has a compelling story beyond being the Big Bad's minion). I hope they get more love in the future, but we'll see.
What do you think about Reiko and Reptile’s treatment in Mortal Kombat 1?
I was pretty OK with Kai back in the time, he suited well in universe IMO. Who is reaaly bleak is Jarek. Because of some moves and his overall wibe he is Kano but... Jarek.
Kai wasn't black at all he was asian like liu kang the only time he was black was in armageddon where they messed him up
"In Mortal Kombat 4, Kai is an African-American man roughly around 25 or 30 years old." Taken directly from the wiki...@@nickforest7816
"Kai, great job. Do you want to be a Shaolin Monk?"
"Uh... nah."
"Okay. Take this stick."
Mk4 was one of my favorite games in the series next to 2 and ultimate 3 it was definitely a good start to the 3d series and Kai was actually a great character hope we see him again in mk1 3rd timeline.

Earned a new subscriber, brotha. I’ve never personally played Mortal Kombat 4… so I finally decided to look it up, and here I am. Simple, entertaining, and you get straight to the point. Thank you for that, sir. I never really thought about how Shinnok and Shang Tsung both imitate other characters moves. Why have two characters that do the same exact thing to an extent. It doesn’t make any sense for Shinnok to imitate/steal moves like Shang Tsung. You know, sense he steals souls and all.
I used to die laughing, spamming Reptile's neck crank and Sub Zero's leg break.
Anyone remember in the early arcade versions you could use sub zero to infinitely break your opponents leg?
8:37 just got a flashback to when Raiden presents Shinoks decapitated head as a warning
Heavily underrated entry in the series. It was the first MK to use 3D graphics, weapons, cinematic epilogues, and it was all done with never-before-seen characters. Most of the characters were weak additions to the franchise, but, Boon and Tobias deserve the A for effort.
This was then game that stopped me giving a fuck about MK. everything up to this point was pure gold
Finish for sure, I’ll subscribe to stay tuned
Reptile's ending was kinda sad😢
Mk4 has the best voice acting ive ever heard in a video game.....
5:35 “it holds the power of sound and lighting “ 😂😂😂
Haha, the reason for the low roster wasn't space. It was cause of the transition to 3d, and most likely new engine, etc. Had to pop in to say that; loving this so far! 😉
This game was great.. had a lot of fun with it, but mk trilogy was by far the one I played the most growing up.
I still love 4, there was a machine in my favorite diner as a kid
Bro nothing beats the infamous jax ending...dont argue with me 😂😂😂
Real
I love how fast this game feels. One of my favorite MK games for sure!
MK4 is not good. The worst part is the dial combos are the SAME for every character. Scorpions' from UMK3 works for every single character. They really mailed that part of the game in. HP HP HK HK
Yeah, characters had almost no personality because of those identical combos.
The move list for this game was so much to take in for my little kid mind at age 12
I'll never forget the night I got this game. Santa rang the doorbell. He gave me this game, told me to go downstairs and play while he drank my all parents whiskey. I was so excited and had so much fun
Straight savage 😂
I love every note of music in this game.
