Your trying to make it complicated it's really not bro 🤦 quit thinking your not good at it
You’re*
😅
🤓
He doesn't have the hand/eye coordination to input movements quickly and repeatedly. Does not understand spacing, frames, efficiency of attack, hit/harm boxes or have pattern recognition.
For instance he says the AI is aggressive not understanding how its programmed while having figured out how to "make it dizzy" which is exploiting the programming of the AI
This hurt him in the first game when he did not recognize how the computer responds to jump kicks and how he could have double jumped back then jump forward and timed the kick to have priority and blasted through the game.
Being good at a fighting game takes invested time in learning all those aspects and also gaining reaction time due to familiarity. Hes not good because he did not put in the time required to be good is all. There should be no expectation for him to dedicate his time to this and you can also argue that it takes some of the fun out of it to do so

Another trick about these games is you can't get mad when you get mad it gets worse
The anger from fighting Goro was hilariously accurate 😂😂😂
If there's one recurring theme in Mortal Kombat, it's that the bad guys can't stop stabbing each other in the back.
Maybe that's because they have different goals in mind.
We think of them as of single faction, but in fact, they represent multiple factions, where one of them dominates the rest and the rest seeks to overthrow it
My parents got me Mortal Kombat II for Sega Genesis Christmas 1993. Shao Kahn was so cheap with the shoulder rush. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
The rage coming from you fighting goro. Man I remember so many people in the arcades raging lol. Good times
22 growing up with this series you really just had to be there at the time. It was especially hype around mk9 for the longest and I even remember seeing my cousin rage for the first time over shao kahn. The old mk's 1,2 and 3 was introduced to my dad and it was just a fun time. MK1 is no different in my opinion and I'm grateful to be able to still be here to play these games. I'm even more grateful I had a dad that really loved video games as much as I did. Thank you for showing me a whole different world dad.🕊️🙏🏿
Earned a subscriber purely off you screaming at Goro cause I remember that feeling when I was like 7 lmao
Yeah. Old school MK requires a bit of "git gud." Watching you fight Goro, it's hard not to shout "JUMP BACKWARDS."
Man I miss them old school days of the arcades 😊
I think the reason they didn’t name MK2011 MK9 is because it was pretty much a reboot/HD Remaster of MK1-3 (so pretty much MKT). Also they switched to NRS under Warner & the older games was under midway so maybe they did it because it was under different management idk. Now the X & XL thing, Cleary it was a play on the X & XL because DLC extra large I mean it made a little sense tbh. I do think they have lost the idea of the game & story now because every game is about timelines & to me I’m kinda over it. They reset it like twice now & I think it’s time to fully leave behind all the old characters & literally create new interesting characters. Last 2 new games pretty much relied on all the old characters & yes MK11 had some but most were forgettable tbh. I think they need to clearly keep sub zero & Scorpion because they are fan favs but I think they need to create all new characters & start fresh. The games all have a similar story & nothing new is being brought to the characters. I will say what I did like about MK1 is that they started doing the fuse characters & I would like to see that brought into future games because that’s more interesting than getting all the same characters. I actually would like a game were there’s a fusion of 2 characters & that way you get the moves you want but yeah you might be missing one character kinda
I don't mind taking out iconic characters if they are replaced by something equally as interesting, for instance reptile has been my favorite for decades, but if he was replaced they need to bring that animal element or something that won't leave a gap where an original character was.
That being said, I was on board for them replacing Sonya and Johnny from now on, with their daughter Cassie.
She possess both skills and abilities from her parents and would be an awesome two in one character that opens a space for another character on roster.
NOPE!! They added all three again in MK11.
I honestly thought the idea of introducing a new generation was to welcome new characters that would replace old ones, but wouldn't be taking away from the characters they replaced.
I think Johnny Cage should be in it as well as the idea of MK was contrived based on Jean Claude in Bloodsport.
Great compilation 😎👍
Enjoyed watching this, ❤ the play thru and commentary!🙏🏆
Hearing your frustration 😂😂too funny😂👍
He finished me during the Kano x Goro match where he’s like “I not having at all”
"I dunno...
Wander the Earth?
Search for my soul?
That kind of thing."
Wow. Amazing writing and character building. MK4, truly one of the games of all time.
i always get so happy when i see a new video that u made
Thank you
Love your content keep up the great work
Thank you
Extremely entertaining vid. Really dig your content bro
Got the aquatic ambiance in the background, I love it!!!
If you thrive on stress-inducing video games, I suggest you attempt the Megaman X games.
Those games are almost as insane as battle toads
Megaman X is easy compared to MK, MK’s input reading is BS.
Hi There Steel
Great video and i have subscribed.
If i only had one pick for my favourite ever game it would be MK2 (Arcade).
I used to go to my local Laser Quest and used to get beat everytime.
My parents got me MK2 on sega megadrive 2 days before release for my birthday as they knew the game shop owner.
I played it for months and learned every single move and fatality, and went back to the arcade to play the same guys again, and smash them .
Im now 44 and I can still remember every single move, and fatality.
Still love MK2 and its best game ever made in my opinion.
keep the great videos coming!!
The trick about the older Reginald's is you have to learn the kombo's dodges And appropriate move system these games are simple and easy once you have mastered them
TL;DR: old MKs spooked the hell out of me.
The first MK game i've ever seen was UMK3, i was 5 at the time and still remember going to the arcade with my brother and getting some major spooks, i was used to SF and other colorful/bright FGs, but seeing this dark and gloomy game with real people just scared me beyond reason, the fact that the stages were devoid of life unsettled me even more; when he did Kung Lao's Tornado fatality i got so scared i started crying lmao.
Honestly the old MK games used to scare me too when I was a kid lol
I was born in '92 but played all of the older games alot on the genesis ports. I played MK2 a'lot on a laundromat cabinet when i was younger .
What really set in stone my morbid curiosity for gory games was that whenever i'd play MK4 in arcades and inevitably run out of quarters, seeing the damn continue/game over screen falling into the spikes left such a huge impression on me. I think me and a'lot of younger kids were both fascinated and terrified of that screen. I had nightmares of falling into bottomless pits alot after that lol.
I honestly don’t see the problem with the titling.
The next one will likely be called Mortal Kombat 13 and no one will be confused.
You have the most acurate coments and opinions on these games.
AVGN did an upload like this touching base on all of the confusing chronological order of set games and movies.
It's refreshing to finally watch a more modern take on things.
Liked this video just for the honest saltiness you had to go through 😂.
The rant near the start about things having the same title was on point for me 🫡It pisses me off too and the tone in your voice is exactly my level of irritation 😂
11:16 The fear and anger in his voice.
Me personally- I like that they are constantly changing the Mortal Kombat titles from numbers to subtitles to regular mortal kombat title because it shows that they are experimenting and willing to provide something new for each game instead of following the same boring formula.
I put so much time into MK2, it was a blast. It came out when I was 12 and my dad had it pre-ordered at FuncoLand and brought it to me when I got out of school that day, the day the game dropped. I remember being SO hyped and me and my friends checking out the dope poster you got with the preorder (which I no longer have, unfortunately). We played it all night.
What was cool about it was despite some of the characters moves seeming lackluster, you could develop techniques using certain ones to make some killer combos, just using timing and technique. My favorite was Reptile, but I also really liked Kung Lao and Kitana. If you held up or down after throwing Lao's hat or Kitana's fans, you could hit jumping or crouching opponents. If you do his Fatality with the hat head-decapitation, you can hilariously choose to spare your opponents life by holding up and making the hat whizz up above his head, despite the "DUHN DUHN DUHHNNNNN" music and the background getting dark.
"It's simple... but WHY?"
I felt that.
If I remember correctly the difficulty level on first games sets "when" the enemies begin to go hard. For example on easy you have more "easy" fights like the first one, and in hard mode they go hard like on the second or third fight
I was us to the SNES home port of MK2, but the bicycle kick could be loaded up whilst you jumped around goin "woo" and "waaaaah" and I think you could even throw your other punches and kicks while holding it down...
I wasn't able to get the Mortal Kombat collection on steam to work, so I wound up going for the DOS versions. I haven't played much yet but one big hang up I'm having nearly immediately for 1,2 and 3 is that GOG, the service I used to buy the games, did not include the manual, so that was a massive pain in the ass. At least they didn't forget for the 4th game
All Mortal Kombat games are weird. That's part of what makes them awesome
Now I had PLENTY of warnings to stop drinking while watching this…at 10:24 I lost it lmfao
10:43 that type of anger is any mk game on very hard lol not just the OGs
Mortal Kombat was Hot in 93. I was about the perfect age and getting good at street fighter was just a little to hard. I have had a couple gaming moments like this, but I was like wow, the future of gaming is here.
Regardless of difficulty the AI will scale with how well you are doing and have a programmed ability that mimics Hit from DBZ. They can predict what you can do and counter in that split less than a second.
XL is 40 in numerals. Which is funny as MKX is a remake of the plotline in 4.
The initial rant got my sub lol
Idk the numbering kinda makes sense to me, what else would they be?
Feel like a alien for never playing MK2 an 4.played every one after, funny-er how 3 was my first xD
no you see it's Mortal Kombat 1 (two)
it's secretly 12
I usually don’t find game rage funny but this guys rage was fkin hilarious
I just love watching man’s slowly go insane with how much the ai just fucks with him because brother same💀
lol. I love how the credits put “M.D.” after the actor that played Shang.
Why did you skip Deadly Alliance when you were saying the games?
I was rattling them off the top of my head
I'm looking forward to this new MK1 game.
i’m from the future don’t be they put horrors beyond minds comprehension in there u will not be the same
I discovered mortal Kombat 2 at six flags in st. Louis. And I'll remember it to the day I die!!!!!!!!! There were no commercials yet. I just stumbled into it in the arcade and almost fainted!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't even know a part 2 was on the way.
Fun fact: tremor originally meant be in mortal Kombat trilogy but at the last second he was replaced with rain
There were 3 ARCADE GAMES that PLAYERS
lined up for in the early
1990s.
Street Fighter 2, Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat!
Playing as player 1 on MKII is super hard if you don't know the method, switch to the player 2 side it's MUCH more easier, believe me.
Once you master Kitana, you'll be able to start doing the 8 hits combos, Johnny Cage and the ninjas, 4 - 5 hit combos, it just comes with time.
That being said, it's being about 20 odd years since I played, I'm probably totally rubbish at it now.
Nice compilation
3:48 Even in a usual conversation, if you tell someone “Yeah I’ve been playing God of War,” the follow up question is going to be, “Oh the 2018 remake or Ragnorak?” “Oh no, the original PlayStation 2 God of War.” It doesn’t really matter what each game is called, you’re gonna have to preface which one anyways.
Fair
Which is the 8th mk? Mk vs DC universe?
KANO VS GORO...I felt your pain😅
You see, this intro is the reason why I call the new game Mortal 1 Kombat.
But you know what.. you said some real stuff tho… arcades in 93 was dope. A big line to play any mortal kombat 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Will you please play regular MK 3. It’s my favourite
You know you can control his hat Kung lao...
In the second game when you throw his hat Press up or down and you can control his hat
Back in those days, MK II was at several places. Boomers (Camelot Park back then) had it, the bowling alley had it and the movie theater. At the bowling alley I watched this guy about late teens to early 20s playing on MKII as Mileena using well timed rolls drop kicks and sia throws. I battled some dude from the radio station at Camelot Park who offered me a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie soundtrack CD if I beat him, which I didn't. But you know, half the fun was just watching other people who were way better than me. You had to go to Blockbuster Video or places where they sold games to get booklets for cheat codes/moves.
MK 2 on Sega was my first game. Of coarse I wasn't good at it but it was still fun
MK-92 and Ultimate MK3 were the best ones in my opinion i got ahold of the Ultimate MK3 magazine back then when i was in 5th grade i think ( wont get into how i got my hands on it) anyways i cut out the characters which were the size of an entire page and it had each players bio but i cut out the characters and glued them to my folders and binders maan i was the coolest kid in class that year
MK 2 and 3 have legit input reading where over fifty percent of the time on any difficulty, they were able to know what you were doing instantly. MK Deadly Alliance was the first good MK game. Before this, MK was a gimmick fighter where people just liked the blood and fatalities.
Giro fight = top tier comedy
If you find the time, please play the new characters in Mortal Kombat Gold! It's the version I played and I'm super nostalgic for it!
and yet the naming still works in the overall story ok MK. this just feels like someone want to be AVGN
I was 11 years old when I played first Mortal Kombat on the arcade back in the day when it came out. I am a fan ever since and I must admit that the new Mortal Kombat are weird. The first original ones are the best.
Oh man, you are bad at MK1. You never jump. Jumping is what it's all about. Those old games are not like modern games where you just stay on the ground all the time and do combos. Those old games were all about mobility. Easy way to beat Goro: just do a back jump kick all the time. He'll keep walking into it.
You could have played these in MAME and set the difficulty to Very Easy. Helps much, except for MK II which cheats anyways but there are good videos on YT how to cheese the AI easily.
Nevertheless, good content!!
Edit: sorry, you changed the difficulty setting. Forget what I wrote, except the thing with "good content" 😅
33:27
Sindel looks like Elon Musk. You can't unsee it once you see it.
4:39 Why didn't you just get the GOG version? They've got a pack of MK1, 2, 3, as well as Trilogy and 4 separately.
I didn’t know it existed before doing the videos
Very cool thanks 👍🍉🤣
18:49 should have yelled "Get over here to the subscribe button!" Why does nobody ever think of that when doing a Mortal Kombat vid?!
It’s Ultimate MK3, not MK3 Ultimate… do you read from bottom to top?
I didn’t know that at the time of making the first video
Dude it ain't that serious
Oh this did almost nothing for fighting games. This came out the same year as Street Fighter II: Turbo. MK's whole thing literally was "oh wow blood".
Lu Kang’s bicycle kick is easy. Hold the button BEFORE the round starts and release when ready. Or you can hold the button while he moves or jumps in round and unleash it at will… good luck…
16:59 😰How lucky was that Kintaro fight??💯
Wait til you find out about the Halloween movies
Whooooa, you sure sound chronologically confused 🤪🙃
Welcome to the BS of 90's video game bosses... where they'll kick your ass 99.9 percent of the time depending on the character
For real, they used to be WALLS
I completely agree with the same-name thing
You forgot Trilogy..
Old fuck, I feel attacked.
I’m sorry about the old fuck comment, it’s an older video of mine now, and also I play trilogy in the video, in the first video I was just rattling the games off the top of my head
@@steele1 I was playing mk @ 5 😂 Thanks
MK2 is the best MK of the series then MK 1 original then MK 9, imo.
If you just hold it for three. Seconds it works
The developers sold the arcade machines…the arcades/machine owners set the difficulty/price to make money
Dude, you have to compare it to the games of its time, SFII, Fatal Fury, and KOD, not today's standards. Back then MK was a novelty and made a huge impact. Anyway good video.
1:00 you forgot Mortal Kombat V: Deadly Alliance, this was the first game to have a sub title name and the last to be numbered chronologically.
This is not criticism, I'm just adding this missing piece of history. Cheers!.
You can't punch a woman in the balls!!!
11:11 i don't want to fight goro 😂😂
I still remember when the first one came out, it's amazing how it's still relevant decades later 👍✨some of the most successful cashgrabs ever 😂
You actually jacked-up a bit there, at the beginning. After MK3 & MK3 Ultimate…there was an even BETTER one: MK Trilogy. It was exactly what it sounds like…only, instead of having all 3 games separately, it had all 3 game MERGED, FUSED… COMBINED! The “Kombatant” select screen was amazing, at the time!
That all said, it’s always interesting to see the take of you kids, man. lol! I was already in 5th Grade, when the FIRST Mortal Kombat hit ARCADES. lol!! I have been here, for alllllll of this.
But, once 4 came out & they went 3D..? I put the franchise down. Hated it!
Then, for whatever reason; I got Deadly Alliance on PS2, while living in the dorms at college. I became a master of nearly every single character, on that one. I’d even let my opponent choose my fighter, FOR me…still went undefeated many times. Lol!
Then, I put MK down, & didn’t get or even PLAY another one till MK vs DC (PS3 version), & I didn’t even own that one. That was a post-college drunken night hanging out with my 3 lifelong best friends kinda game…and that was the ONLY one I chose Sub-Zero, on the regular. That Ice Coffin Teleport, man…I’d literally hit it to make it look like I was dodging punches & shit. Came up with my own combos that took 50, 60, & 70% of total health bars. Lol! Pissed my boys OFF! lol!
Anyway…I didn’t own another one till MK(2011) - aka MK9. Then, I did get X & 11, as well. Forever reason, I just didn’t have the time & effort to put into these 3. I basically beat it with everyone, to get their endings…annnnnd that was it. At almost-42-years old, my digits don’t move quite as quickly as they used to; & now, with everyone knowing & understanding frames timing & all of that..? Yeeeeaaaaah…..not sure I’ll be getting into too many more fighters. Lol! I’ll his teach the Story Mode “Movies” online. lol! Not spending $60-70 just to do that. Not worth it, to me
EDIT: I retract a specific statement now. I’m at 2:03, where you talk about MK(2011)/9 & MKX…
Yeeeaaaah….not “interesting”, anymore. That why I am retracting. Kinda an annoying take, with that part of the rambling.
I included trilogy in this video at the end, and I was just complaining about the titles not the game themselves man
I've never seen anyone in my life beat mortal kombat with the Most horrible characters..
Usually when you play mortal kombat you play with the best favorite characters
I was scared of baraka too
You forgot the expansion mortal kombat Aftermath! Lol
They should of called MK 1 MK origins or somthing, it acts like the original arcade doesn't even exist.
You forgot MK deadly alliance
They should have just gone with Roman numerals from the very first game and kept it simple, no subtitles, no nothing but a numbered series.
Weird? you mean better? if you mean better then yes. lol
