Fun fact about Scorpion: the original actor to portray Scorpion (and several others) was Daniel Pesina, who suggested the signature weapon for Scorpion because he himself is a real life master of traditional rope dart forms in wushu. He's still actively teaching today and hangs out in the rope dart tech FB group.
That is hilarious because that's how I found Sub-zeros fatality in MK1 totally by accident playing my little brother I'll never forget him crying because he thought Johnny Cage wouldn't be playable anymore because I had his head in my hand with his spine dangling
Ahh noo poor little guy😅! But that would be cool idea for a high level Hard challenge tournament. Where you pick like 16 characters in Mortal Kombat and if they get a fatality you can no longer use that character anymore on your quest up the rankings. 😂😂
Sun zero and his brother got royally screwed, like Bi Han was killed after being wrongfully accused as the mastermind behind the massacring scorpions clan, then after death is brought back as a revenant slave to Quan Chi, then Kuai Liang is betrayed by the Lin Kuei and turned into a goddamn robot against his will like that scene from superman 3
Another instance of Noob saibot being an absolute savage is one of his MK11 intros where someone goes “your brother would be ashamed” and he just replies “what brother?”
I remember being a kid and watching my first ever mortal kombat related anything(the trailer with Alien and Leatherface, DLC kombat pack 2) and it just blew my mind. I grew up w 9, x, xl, and 11, but i got to go back and play deception, annihilation, and Armageddon. These games are legendary man
Just stopping by to tell you that even though I don't watch every video you put out I have the notification for every video because I enjoy being reminded of your existence.
God i love that they trickled a bit of spawn for us with mortal kombat, some of the ebst dlcs and possibly one of the only spawn medias we will be getting in recent years (unless shit goes through oh please malebolgia)
I NEED that fire and ice side scroller. Shaolin Monks was excellent and a highly underrated beat-em-up. The sheer number of environmental kill options and the depth of the combat system was exemplary.
If they were to put all the guest characters in the game You could put Kratos against Homelander Joker against The Xenomorph Freddy Kruger against Spawn Terminator against Jason And a lot more
I was a college student when this arcade machine came out. The internet wasn't that big a thing, so all the rumors about this were wild. So many quarters were sacrificed to find all the secrets.
I liked the joke with Rain (Purple Ninja named Rain who's a Prince) and he's probably my favorite just for that. I do wish they kept more of his aesthetic in the later games as he's more of a water wizard now
I miss the old carts and cabinets. I had to stop playing the newer games when i realized they just run rootkits to datamine your PC every time you launch. The real fatality was the DRM along the way
some bonus trivia: In Shaolin Monks, you can unlock both Sub-Zero and Scorpion and take them off together MK11 Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa returns to voice Shang Tsung, reprising his role from the MK movie MK3 Shao Khan and Sindel's body actors were dating at the time Sonya's body model from MK3 has appeared in Playboy multiple times and voiced the character upto MK4, also did the motion capture for Maya from Killer instinct 2013 Daniel Pesina got fired from portaying Johnny Cage because he advertised another game posing as Cage, his brother Carlos portrays Raiden with MoKap being based on him
I wish there was a version of Scorpion where, say, if he missed with the spear he'd then switch to using it like a rope-dart/sheng biao [which design wise, it is.]
Dude I completely agree, but he did get the character Joker replaced wrong, it wasn't supposed to be Pennywise, it was Ash Williams who he replaced. I am very mad they couldn't get him in, makes me sad because I love Ash
Regarding the ice version of Scorpian's STinger... if it freezes the opponent, would the appropriate call be 'stay there!' primed for a hell portal, perhaps.
Even though Boon never gave us the full "Fire and Ice", You can still play Shaolin Monks as Scorpion and/or Sub zero through the story and their move sets are awesome. I think Boon should put out "Fire and Ice" anyway as I myself would buy and play that game
i dont even like mk11 as a mortal kombatb nerd but when i saw the trailer with the classic movie theme i fully screamed that shit was the hypest trailer i think ive ever seen
Ik this was 10 days day (at the moment I’m watching) but when they talk about scorpion not having a poison since he’s yk scorpion, I wonder if the fire is the poison
Funny how mk vs dc gets shit on, but everyone forgets Subzero becomes batman in that universe... and that... is cool 😎. Yes I'll see myself out thank you
Karl's gonna cream when he finds out robocop is also in the game, I'm bout 15mins in, so don't know if it gets mentioned, just see the t800 bit lol... awesome 👌
Sub-Zero is just the most fun character. Ice gives you a lot of possibilities and just looks *cool* . But also his personality is pretty great, more the new one of course since Bi-Han was just edge hueheueh
I remember playing the game with a self imposed rule for MK2, if the bullshit cpu used fatalities, i couldnt use that character in the ladder anymore lmfao 😅😂 never was able to beat it 😅

Goro's pained expression when Johnny breaks his balls still haunts me to this day.
Right in the kamidogus 💀
@@NucleaRaptor😭😭😂😂
I like Sub-Zero, but I really like Sub-Zero’s brother Sub-Zero
What about his grandfather, sub zero?
Or his brother Scorpion who was previously Sub-Zero
Me: Mom,can I have sub-zero?
Mom: we have sub-zero at home.
Sub-zero at home: sub-zero
The family tree is this: Sub-Zero Sub-Zero Sub-Zero Sub-Zero
Im personally a big fan of Tundra, but I really like when he rebranded to Sub-Zero
That techno theme WAS MK in the 90s. It wasn't just for the movie, all the ads had it - it was everywhere!
That is hilarious because that's how I found Sub-zeros fatality in MK1 totally by accident playing my little brother I'll never forget him crying because he thought Johnny Cage wouldn't be playable anymore because I had his head in my hand with his spine dangling
Lmao you merc'd his hero in front of his eyes and ruined his childhood
Ahh noo poor little guy😅!
But that would be cool idea for a high level Hard challenge tournament. Where you pick like 16 characters in Mortal Kombat and if they get a fatality you can no longer use that character anymore on your quest up the rankings. 😂😂
i like the fact that the newest MK game has jean-claude van damme in the game as a skin for johnny cage
Sun zero and his brother got royally screwed, like Bi Han was killed after being wrongfully accused as the mastermind behind the massacring scorpions clan, then after death is brought back as a revenant slave to Quan Chi, then Kuai Liang is betrayed by the Lin Kuei and turned into a goddamn robot against his will like that scene from superman 3
Another instance of Noob saibot being an absolute savage is one of his MK11 intros where someone goes “your brother would be ashamed” and he just replies “what brother?”
“That shitty techno song” is beloved. I’ve seen it fill the dance floor in Metal clubs multiple times. It’s a freakin joyous experience lol.

One hour Mortal Kombat kompilation? Sign me up yessir
I just got the Space Cowboy reference after all this time... Holy SHID Mortal Kombat is one the games of all time... ITS JUST SO DAMN COOOOL
Sub- Zero using an ice spear would be great. I can hear it now, "STAY THERE! "

Joker against The Xenomorph
Freddy Kruger against Spawn

And a lot more
im starting to think that ed boon really likes the 'scorpion' design and the kuai liang character so he decided to merge the two together in MK1.
I was a college student when this arcade machine came out. The internet wasn't that big a thing, so all the rumors about this were wild. So many quarters were sacrificed to find all the secrets.
Baraka and Ermac have always been my favorite characters.
I liked the joke with Rain (Purple Ninja named Rain who's a Prince) and he's probably my favorite just for that. I do wish they kept more of his aesthetic in the later games as he's more of a water wizard now
nice picks- i was a huge Reptile fan from the time i first fought him in MK 1- now it's MKX Mileena.
I miss the old carts and cabinets. I had to stop playing the newer games when i realized they just run rootkits to datamine your PC every time you launch. The real fatality was the DRM along the way
One thing about mk shaolin monks, is that after you beat the game, you can play as sub-zero and scorpion in place of Liu Kang and kung lao.
This is fitting considering I've been rediscovering how badass the band Pitchshifter is the last few days
Pitchshifter gig mosh pits were bloody awesome
some bonus trivia:
In Shaolin Monks, you can unlock both Sub-Zero and Scorpion and take them off together
MK11 Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa returns to voice Shang Tsung, reprising his role from the MK movie
MK3 Shao Khan and Sindel's body actors were dating at the time
Sonya's body model from MK3 has appeared in Playboy multiple times and voiced the character upto MK4, also did the motion capture for Maya from Killer instinct 2013
Daniel Pesina got fired from portaying Johnny Cage because he advertised another game posing as Cage, his brother Carlos portrays Raiden with MoKap being based on him
I remember Bloodsport. You can hear the cat meowing through out the movie. I swear you can. 13:13
I used to draw and act out new Mortal Kombat chactors as a kid.(90s)
I wish there was a version of Scorpion where, say, if he missed with the spear he'd then switch to using it like a rope-dart/sheng biao [which design wise, it is.]
I wish they’d bring back his dialogue if he misses too many times in a row from Shaolin Monks where he curses at you.
“Killer Instinct” jumped in on the “arcade sound wars”…..remember some documentary I was watching talking about it…”COMBOOOOOOOOOO!”
Arnie's Mr. Freeze needs to be in the game. Just firing off Ice puns and beating ass. Yeah
I love Scorpion and his lore
Excuse me Karl with a K! Techno syndrome is amazing! 😂
Jean Claude Van Damme is in the game finally boys!
Joker in mortal kombat was great. It pays homage to injustice and MK vs DC, and it lets the joker be just as much of a psycho as he is in the comics.
Dude I completely agree, but he did get the character Joker replaced wrong, it wasn't supposed to be Pennywise, it was Ash Williams who he replaced. I am very mad they couldn't get him in, makes me sad because I love Ash
Shao Khan is the Squirrel Girl of Mortal Kombat, where all his really good shit happens off screen
Forgot Karl was a fan of sub zero going to comic con Scotland in a few weeks and my cosplay is sub zero cool will tag photos for ya Karl
Speaking of "almost" starring Jean-Claude Van Damm...
Tell me you never played Mortal Kombat without telling me you never played it:
"I didn't know about double ice back fire..."
Funny how it's come full circle and now John Claude has been added to MK1.
As a skin for the very character created to parody him, no less.
I totally agree. The guest characters are awesome!
I was asleep when this video started playing, I thought they were talking about the Incredibles Sub-Zero and didnt know he had so much lore
I thought a cryomancer would have power over crying
Boo!😂
Komitted to the gimmick
I am a firm believer that the movie theme is iconic
Regarding the ice version of Scorpian's STinger... if it freezes the opponent, would the appropriate call be 'stay there!' primed for a hell portal, perhaps.
MK: "Quick Cooling and Full Scorpion Man."
Me: "...apparently I owe JK Rowling an apology."
Fun fact: Quan Chi and Harley Quinn were DLC for MK vs DC, but it did so bad that they ended up scrapping it.
Correction: it did decently, sales-wise. Just not well enough to save Midway as a company (they were going bankrupt).
Even though Boon never gave us the full "Fire and Ice", You can still play Shaolin Monks as Scorpion and/or Sub zero through the story and their move sets are awesome.
I think Boon should put out "Fire and Ice" anyway as I myself would buy and play that game
i dont even like mk11 as a mortal kombatb nerd but when i saw the trailer with the classic movie theme i fully screamed that shit was the hypest trailer i think ive ever seen
Ik this was 10 days day (at the moment I’m watching) but when they talk about scorpion not having a poison since he’s yk scorpion, I wonder if the fire is the poison
What you think of the New MK1??
Wait, they left out Mchael Myers?
Yeah, people theorize that it might be because Jason was already in the game and Micheal would do the same thing as him so they didn't add him sadly
Kuai Liang being Scorpion bothers me more than it should
The mk movie soundtrack is an absolute banger and i will have no bad words said about it
Funny how mk vs dc gets shit on, but everyone forgets Subzero becomes batman in that universe... and that... is cool 😎. Yes I'll see myself out thank you
source?
@@potatojustapotato1983 source? They mention and (kinda) show it in this video. Another source? It is literally sub zeros ending in MK vs DC
Karl's gonna cream when he finds out robocop is also in the game, I'm bout 15mins in, so don't know if it gets mentioned, just see the t800 bit lol... awesome 👌
sub zero's my favourite too :)
Re watching in 2024 babyyyyyy
I am incapable of reading the word lore, especially capitalised, in any voice other than matpats
Hang on a sec, if Sao Khan killed the Dinosaurs and he absorbs souls; does that mean that he canonically houses the souls of thousands of T-Rex’s?
Sub-Zero is just the most fun character. Ice gives you a lot of possibilities and just looks *cool* . But also his personality is pretty great, more the new one of course since Bi-Han was just edge hueheueh
thers also the one wer he say this com here its funey wen you here it saydid in the games
Kung Lao is my favorite and a lot of it does have to do with his hat, but I don't care hahahaha
I love mortal kombat!!!!!
mortal kombat really is just the hooters of fighting games.
I remember playing the game with a self imposed rule for MK2, if the bullshit cpu used fatalities, i couldnt use that character in the ladder anymore lmfao 😅😂 never was able to beat it 😅
The skins in my xl only need you to log in to a wb account,I've done it before but still annoying tbh
So I guess you're digging pretty hard on MK1 right now 😊
52:13 why is that lazy ots how earth works 😅
Absolute L take on the MK movie
Hi Karl
You should do a video on the baki anime and manga...Full of over powered random and dumb sh!t 😂
The 95 mk movie is so bad it's perfect
Hi
