Instead of Kombat Time, It's KAHN TIME! (This time I spelled it right!)
The Dragon-looking Emperor, is back, and still wants to merge Earthrealm with Outworld. Now enjoy the video fools!
GenerationWest Indeed It Is KAHN TIME!
No u
GenerationWest dragon? That instantly reminds me of Onaga which also reminds me of the biggest plot hole that hasn’t been explained ever since the intro on MK9 story mode.
So evil.
Is is possible to do "Rage (2011) - Characters And Voice Actors"?
I’ve always loved the way Steve Ritchie’s Shao Kahn says “Reptile”
HUNK I know right...he rolls the R lol!
I like how he pronounces Baraka as Barraka!
I like how he says all the names
Gotta love that R roll
@@jamiejameskingofgames4648 lol right I love that..I love how he says baraka...burrrrttthakaa!!
"I rule this world"
- Steve Ritchie describing his superiority in voicing Shao Kahn, 2019
Primal Hunter kneegah
Ike
Ike is definitely the best voice for Kahn since Steve Ritchie. No one will ever top Steve but, Ike is awesome. I hated his MK9 voice but, that's just me. I'm sure lots of people liked it.
*1993
@@UltimateShadow10 Personally loved it. Ikr sounds too try hard to me. Carter naturally sounds like a menace.
Bob Carter perfectly represents Shao Kahn. He doesn’t sound too much like a brute or like a weak person but a calculating and intelligent conqueror.
To bad the character himself wasn't really like this in that game, he used to be in the Midway games
I agree… Carter’s take on Kahn feels like a perfect mix of Strength as well as Wit.
@@AndreiCatalin42069 Good point.
I think the complete opposite of what you just said
Stevie brings in the ruler aspect of Kahn for his voice but, Ike.
Ike brings out that monstrous sound of Shao Kahn and I love it
Papa Pred yes I agreed
That's by far the best way I've heard it put: 1st sounds like someone of god-like power & influence, and the last sounds more fearsome, menacing, & blood-hungry
Ike is just doing his Atrocitus voice
Nah bob carter is the best
@@peoples2296 IT kinda works
Steve Richie and Ike Amadi
The first and currently, the last. Feels strange when I think about it that way.
Dwayne Johnson as Shao Kahn😈🔱👑🔨
@@Shadow-lb8tf hahahah wtf
Ike by far, has the deepest most brute sounding tone
Tod Littlewan exactly
i think they definitely used effects but still sounds dope
Bob Carter or Steve Ritchie for me. Shao Kahn is a brute, but an intelligent and knowledgeable one.
@@Mac-pd1wh They only lowered the pitch of the voice. Rest is just his performance
Ike seems like he's good for shao kahn's fighting voice
But i don't know..
Seems too much
Bob shows much more emotion with his words and actually sounds threatening and calculating
While shao kahn of ike's shao kahn sounded like he's only violent all the time
Ike is literally the perfect Shao Kahn.
@Luis he is the original for me but ike to me sounds intimidating compared to the rest
Yep
Steve ritchie in shaolin monks is perfect.
Steve Ritchie number 1 but the new dude in MK11 is a really close second.
Agreed. I thought I loved 9, but Ike has POWER and DOMINANCE with his lines. It's so Shao.
No matter who came along after 1995, Steve Ritchie and that wicked dark voice will remain the king of Outworld. SO iconic. No one taunts quite like he does. They're timeless in how they sort of belittle the player. A good villain is someone both incredibly challenging to overcome, and someone you come to despise, and mainly because of the first part 😅😆😜
I really can't decide between Steve Richie and Ike Amadi. Both provide that kind of confident, above-everyone authority in their voice that really fits Shao Kahn, but while Ike's is more upfront about the brutality Shao Kahn revels in, Steve's is a bit more subdued about it. Both equally great in my opinion.
Jeddostotle7 well said
Jeddostotle7 agreed
They both are ike ameda is this era's voice of shao khan but the og will always be Steve Ritchie.
Ike is the best but Steve is the og
I like the way you put it but I think Amadi adds that oomf, and really just fits the face/mask perfectly, if you will.
In my opinion, Bob Carter sounded way better during his in-fight dialogue and laughs than his story mode stuff. I’d call him the best if it was just those lines.
That's why Bob Carter was the pinnacle, you hear the in-game dialogue more often.
I’m gonna go against the majority on this one, but I really can’t choose anyone BUT Bob Carter. Story mode or otherwise, I just like his take.
You said his in-fight quotes were the best. I follow you: when I fought (struggled) against Shao Kahn in 9, his taunts actually managed to get to me.
@@shinkenger2011 Steve Richie is just the best to me, didn't even grow up with those games.
Scotty J I disagree, but I do see why everyone loves him.
@@shinkenger2011 I do still think Bob did good he just had an awful script. Though his typical "bow to me" taunts were great.
Mk11 Shao Kahn voice is soo beautiful
Steve Ritchie is the ONLY Shao Kahn to me, no one else compares to him. The best announcer in MK history as well.
Usually I prefer the modern voice actors because they’re always so much better. But I can’t this time, Steve Ritchie is just phenomenal; he is the real Shao Kahn. Period. Nobody can ever do a better Shao Kahn than Steve.
the guy who did red lantern for me
I like bob carter more
I agree 1000 percent
Gay
Steve Ritchie is an op original voice of shao khan love him or hate him.
Steve Ritchie and Ike Amadi for best Shao Khan voices but Frank Welker would be a good choice if he got to voice him again.
Frank Weller sounds like noob saibot now. Is that the same guy
Ike is basically doing his Atrocitus voice, which works well for Shao Kahn.
@@jasonray2827 Naw, That's Sean Chiplock (Subaru from RE: Zero)
@@jasonray2827 yeah he is I found that out after the trailer release.
@@GenerationWest they do have some of the same voice work in fact I can't really tell the difference if I was judging the voice work alone
Bob Carter is the best imo.He literally fits Shao Kahn for me
MK II and III hands down... when you play the game with surround system... the voice just reverberates throughout the house and it’s just so classic...
Steve Richie all the way, plus how about Shang Tsung next?
Steve Richie legendary voice he is the shao khan we know and love
When the voice over of him saying it played in the Mortal Kombat movie, everyone went crazy in the theater...
@@danicawolfe5755 Reptile.
@@ventingshow4995 I heard that comment..lol
Ike Amadi is the perfect voice for an evil ruler!!!
It's Kevin Michael Richardson voice Shao Kahn
The best Shao Kahn line is from MK9: "You suck!"
*MK3
Ike Amadi is my favorite Shao Khan voice actor
He's geras too
just do nothing Another actor voices Geras. Ike Amadi does voice Cryrx.
I know he's awesome
@@Roadwarrior92 no he is not, geras is voice by a white man
Bob Carter and Ike Amadi
But Amadi is just perfect, totally fits how I feel Khan should sound
I feel like Ike is the most intimidating
@@thehale_ Intimidating and arrogant, as he should be
@@TheZINGularity He sounds like a dope.
@@night-seeker666 you mustve hated all the previous ones aswell then.
@@TheZINGularity Err...no? Not all of them.
Steve Richie and Bob Carter are the best Shoa Kahn voice actors ever. There was this feeling that while these two shoa khans were kicking my bottom and swiping the floor with it. It felt only fair to just get angry at how much he spams the rising air attack but his voice and how he insults you when you lose. That’s when you can get angry but how performs. It was magnificent tbh.
"That was patetic!" Steve Ritchie it is by far the best.
Cap
1. Steve Ritchie
2. Bob Carter
3. Ike Amadi
4. Nigel Casey
I like the voice of shao kahn in mk11
I think I like Ike Amadi little more than Bob. But Steve will always be Shao Kahn
@@moisthorny Me too. It's more menacing.
Why is Ike third? He was one of the best
TY WOLF
Ike deserves second, in my opinion
The OG one is klassic, but if I’m putting that aside, the newest one in MK11 is perfect
Steve Ritchie is from that old-school acting where they dramatically roll their "r's"...much respect to the old school. 👌🏾👏🏾
That said, Ike Amadi's rendition is so beautifully perfect. 🥺💖
No disrespect to Brian Thompson, but he sounds like he's about to bawl in tears
It was his wash day tomorrow he had nothing clean.
@@HamanKarn567 huh. Go figure
@@HamanKarn567 See what you did there...😉
Sounded like he was about to start laughing at times. He probably knew it was a shit movie lol.
Steve Ritchie just proves how strong of a voice that Shao Kahn needs to have, hes got the voice while the character has the power, putting them together and you got one of the most amazing and strongest Shao Kahns ever
I just realized shao Kahn can say the n-word in mk11
@Vert3xThunder that vid is awesome 😂
Kneegah
PRINCESS KITANA, GET DOWN!!
@Vert3xThunder No, Noob isn't voiced by a black guy.
Well actually anyone can it's just a word.
Steve ritchie's voice is sooo menacing and imposing.
Ike amadi is also great
Ike's take on it is so damn good. His version of Shao Kahn sounds like power, authority, and charisma incarnate. It's like every time he talks you can tell his tone that he doesn't give a rats ass about anything anyone has to say to him, he's the damn Kahn and he makes sure everyone knows it
The last Shao Kahn is really THE BEST of all...
#1 Steve because childhood memories and voice.
#2 Ike because his voice fits how much of a powerhouse khan is
Rii and alot of these people aren't tryna give ike his credit
@@byronmurphy9996 simply because he's a jobber
1. Bob Carter
2. Steve Ritchie
3. Ike Amadi
4. Patrick Seitz
5. Nigel Casey
King slaayer ^
Nah Ike should be #1 he sounds so intimidating compared to the others
@@sasugayuchitard5400 It's a thing called an opinion. And like assholes everyone has them. Not trying to be a dick I'm just saying.
MK9 is the best for me. MK vs DC wasn't bad too, but if we take the "klassic" voice, Steve Ritchie wins a flawless victory automatikally
Bob Carter is my favorite especially the growls and the yells
Itd be a miracle if Christopher "Boy" Judge voiced Shao Kahn
Steve Ritchie was always be no. 1 for me. I like the way he rolls the R Baraka. 😀
Bob carter has the best Shao Kahn voice by far. The natural sounding as well.
Shao Khan from Mortal kombat 9 have the best voice
For me, it's Ike Amadi. I find his voice fitting for Shao Kahn.
When Brian Thompson came in everybody said "hell no!"
Steve Ritchie with that sweet, gravelly reverb. I'd pay for a MK11 Shao Kahn Voiceover DLC
Steve Ritchie is always going to be my favorite Shao Kahn, but Ike Amadi's performance is the best, IMO.
Mk9 is my personal favorite. 11 is also great and klassic Shao Kahn is pretty much the perfect fighting game narrator
Ritchie, Carter and Amadi
2019 voice of Shao Kahn is the most badass voice of any other voice clips. So my words are is the 2019's voice of Shao Kahn
Steve sounds like a mystic, unmatched ruler. He exudes confidence. He never needs to raise his voice. His presence is enough.
Ike sounds like a leader. A conqueror. A man undefeated on the battlefield that lives only for war. You will follow him or he will come for you once the killing ends.
Ike is what the young ruthless Shao is to Steve's triumphant Khan.
Together, they are perfect. Two halves of the same coin.
"Worthless boy. Do you know who I am?!?! Liu Kang: The murderer of my friend! Shao Kahn: I am Shao Kahn! Conqueror of worlds! You will taste no victory. Liu Kang: You shall taste your own blood!" - Bob Carter/Shao Kahn. (and Tom Choi/Liu Kang.)
This is my favorite Shao Kahn because he is the Shao Kahn I was first introduced to and why I fell in love with the character for his personality. Thank you Bob.
Steve Richie is amazing love his Shao Kahn
Steve Richie's rolled R's are extremely powerful but nostalgia aside, Ike Amadi is everything I wanted in a Shao Kahn voice but hadn't got until him.
That said I would watch an animated MK movie with Welker's take on it.
Steve Ritchie the best voice ❤
All my childhood MK2 MK3 🥰
And Shaolin Monks, a Masterpiece ❤
Steve Ritchie's og MKII & MKIII voices are just brutal.
Ike follows.
I like when he rolled his Rs
Fun Fact: Ike Amandi also voiced Noob Saibot on Mortal Kombat the live action series set in 1996.
1. Steve Ritchie
2. (Tied) Patrick Seitz & Ike Amadi
last shao is best tbh great job man
The first voice of Shao Khan is amazing amd terrifying. HE IS AWESOME. THE BEST VOICE.
Jeff Meek will always be my favorite Shao Kahn. I do have to say though, that I feel like Ike Amadi captured a lot of similar tones and nuances. Major Kudos to him.
I did love Steve Richie as Shao Kahn in MK2 and 3, his announcer voice was epic, and Shao Kahn's ad libs were great, but in Shaolin Monks, not so much. I didn't even realize that it was him, but he certainly didn't capture that same darkness that he did in the 90s games.
Steve Ritchie sounds like he could rule outworld.
Steve Richie has always been Shao Kahn’s iconic voice. Tho Ike’s tone might be deeper but no one can top Steve Richies Shao Kahn laugh.
3:14 Jeezus, what happened there? Brian sounds like he's about to start crying. XD
Nergalsama01 😂
Lmao
I must be the only one that actually like Brian's voice...Maybe because I grew up watching the movie lol
@@danicawolfe5755 it must be a guilty pleasure for you
@@chadpeterson5698 I don't feel guilty about watching it.
Steve Ritchie closely followed by Ike Amadi
The Announcer of MK11 would’ve been a perfect Shao Kahn though...
Jai Evans you can unlock him, complete the tutorial (not sure tho)
Isn’t the announcer of MK11 Bob Carter though? Or am I mistaken? If anything, he sounds very similar to him.
@@drewchilders8510 No, the announcer is Jamieson Price, since mk9 it's been always the same announcer
M. R. Oh, okay. Yeah I just thought they sounded really similar, but I couldn’t tell
@@drewchilders8510 yea they just edited it a bit
Lki amdi that amazing voice you are so coool with sho khan
Frank Welker shao voice sends chills down my spine
Steve Ritchie is a classic pick. For nostalgia, he is the best Shao Kahn, but I think for the more intimidating, tyrannical sound, Ike Amadi did a better job at that.
Steve Ritchie can't even get in comparison. He is a legend. Besides that Ike Amandi is my favorite by far! His voice makes Shao Kahn even more terrifying than he already is. Great casting! MK11 is a flawless game from every perspective imo!
It's amazing how he evolved over the years. I distinctly remember the first guy from back in the day when I played the earliest games.
His present actor has the bass in his voice that I think is perfect for the kind of character he is. Which is basically a big, belligerent bully.
The first obe is the legend
The last one omg never thought its young thought its old like before
Shao Kahn voices: Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3. Mortal Kombat 9 and 11. Good work Warner Bros!
1. Steve
2. Bob and Ike
3. Nigel
I also enjoy Nigel’s take on the voice, pretty good one IMO
Ike Amadi is so good at being shao kahn!!!!
Bob carter is the best for me
Like dude
4:37 it’s Scorpion himself! XD
Steve Ritchie wins - Flawless viktory
Nah imo Shao Khan is suppose be warrior not an evil genius...... he kills not plot
Nice work
Frank Welker reminded me of the cave of wonders from Aladdin lol. Had to look it up and make sure I assumed right that its his voice :)
Ike Amadi is honestly the best. Best representation of Shao Kahn.
The problem with the new voices is none of them were directed to match the original at all. I didn't even realize it was the same voice actor for MKSM when I played it because they sound like two different characters. After Armageddon every performance was directed as an low-tone barbarian. The original has a slight accent (Ritchie said he gave him one intentionally) rolls his 'R's and has a slight snarl which is why his "Round" sounds so good, as well as having an echo.
Excellent
Mk11 is one of the best, very brutish, deep, and rough. Perfect
Carter and Ritchie are equally great in my eyes.
Steve Ritchie is great but I think I prefer Ike Amadi just because he sounds more evil and menacing
TotallyTaco agree
I'm a man who loves when words are churned. Think Vader. ("you are not a jedi yeeeeet" "the powaaah of the dark side") Or Moira if you know overwatch. Ike is good, he's right there but he needs to churn a bit more for me to get there.
Actors of 2, 3, 11 part has hammer in their voices! True Shao Kahns
Ike amandi is awesome! Never heard of him prior to this video but I hope we hear more from him.
1:27 sounds like Dr Claw from Inspector Gadget :)
Same voice actor 😁
He’s also the voice of Megatron and Soundwave
MK11 is great, tbh.
Awesome voices
Nigel Casey goated asf deep ass voice
Ike Amadi forsure, he really brings his character to life. Everyone else was mediocre.
Imo iKe has the worst Shao Kahn
He makes him sound like a dumb brute, which he is not
@ how so?
@Francisco Ruíz all bark no bite he beat kotal crippled him and almost knocked his head off
@@byronmurphy9996 and then the impossible happened and he got beat by Kitana
Easily. He is perfect.
Ike is amazing *VACATE MY THRONE* 6:22
There all awesome
4:36 knew i heard that voice somewhere, after searching out, patrick voiced garrosh hellscream, the voice he makes for shao kahn in mk vs dc is really similar for his garrosh one, such a great voice
Steve Ritchie will always be Shao Kahn! 💯
Steve Richie in mk2 and 3 is by far the best but in an extended role where there's a lot of dialogue Ike Amadi is better.
Bob Carter does the best insulting “You Suck!”, but for general lines I have to give it to Ike.
Ike Amadi GOOD LORD, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, CAUSE YOUR VOICE IS JUST... OUT OF THIS WORLD ( pun fully intended )!
