I like how the devs were so honored and flattered that Michael Jackson was a fan of the original game that they gave him a chance to be in the sequel :)
Michael's aggressive voice is so damn cool, I wish he used it more often. This and the extended music video/short film for Ghosts are the only two times I remember hearing him use this tone.
@@dejacreacts4964 Naw that's his normal voice. If you're referring to when "Michael" drops his fake voice at the end of the episode, that's definitely a different person voicing him
@@dejacreacts4964 Yeah Stark Raving Dad. At the end of the episode, "Michael", voiced by the actual MJ except for the singing, reveals he was just talking with an MJ voice because it made him calm, at which point an entirely different actor voices him. MJ's actual vocal lines are his usual soft voice, nothing like this
@@girlette T-Pain who actually hung out with him said his voice is about where you think Michael's is and where Prince's actually is. Lol. Also if you watch his 1993 super bowl halftime show where he does "Heal The World" you'll hear it.
The only reason I found this video is because I’ve just watched an interview with Teddy Riley talking about Michael’s real voice being deep and he uses the soft voice to train his voice.. so in this game is probably closer to what he normally sounds like.
A lot of people dont realize that the light upper register/whisper voice that MJ usually used during interviews or public appearances was to preserve his vocal chords for when he'd have to perform. People don't realize this is actually him because THIS is closer to his actual voice plus when he does perform and he goes into songs that take advantage of his lower register (like "Why You Wanna Trip On Me" or "Speed Demon" just to name a couple) it's to preserve himself for when he has to hit his high notes for falsettos
My favorite part was 30:20 when you piece'd up Knokimov with that Lvl. 2 Rumble Flurry after adjusting your playstyle to the jab, jab, straight combo to defeat his strategy.
Yeah, he voiced it alright. Aren't we gonna talk about how Michael also PERFORMED in this game? Not sure if it was mo-capped (I think it was), but the moves he does are SO Michael it's undeniable he was there
I remember back in the day. When I would use the white rumble, if you knock them out of the ring when you’re both on the complete opposite side, then run over to the side you knocked them out and start swinging, they’ll reappear and swing outside of the map.
It's so cool that Michael did his own voice in this game. And also on UA-cam when I watched Michael Jackson and Muhammad Ali, I was like WOW Michael really got some smooth boxing moves. I remember I used to have so much fun playing as Michael Jackson in this game, great memories!! This game was absolutely epic when I was a kid!!!! Good times. Also Rumbleman cheated his butt off 😂😂😂 I'm so glad you never gave up 👍
Knokimov has the best style in this game, he's such a smart fighter that can stay an inch out of his opponents reach, and counter if you get too close. It reminds me of something similar to Soviet boxing style. Now if we were to talk about his stance, it's not all that good, as he often left himself open for too many punches. His fast reflexs is what prepared him for that, despite having his guard down.
42:46 Look how small that team was at the end, yet they gave such a memorable and timeless classic of a video game. The amount of replay value you have with this game with friends is ridiculous. Also look how much character the game has with them taking photos in theme of the game. You don't get this kind of passion and energy anymore in games.
It's amazing that they brought MJ on to do the voice because he was a playable character in the original one, and a fan of the original game. I read that he did the mocap for it and did the VA work with a lower register than his normal speaking voice.
I might have to do a revisit of this game, probably won't get the same views and likes but it'll be for the fun of it and for my appreciation of you guys. 👍🏻
It sucks that Warner Bros now owns the ip. They don't care about any old video game franchises. I would love a remaster but we can't even get the old Mortal Kombats on modern consoles so this will never happen.
@@2KUniverseGuy when I saw the previews and found out he was on there I broke my neck to get it! He is also on space channel 5 for playstation 2 so check it out 👌👌👌
Three years later, this is now one of the most viewed videos on my channel, thank you guys so much you guys are awesome!
I like how the devs were so honored and flattered that Michael Jackson was a fan of the original game that they gave him a chance to be in the sequel :)
😮
I want to see the bts of this. It legit looks like his actual movements even for the punches
Yeah he invited all the neighborhood kids to play it at his ranch.😂
@@aaronjecevius5969you are not funny😐
@@aaronjecevius5969 At least he didn't take them to Epstein's island like your favorite celebrity.
Michael Jackson in this game is priceless. I love how he yells "Rumbleee!".
I laugh hard asf 😂
Oh it’s really Mike ? 😱
@@ArmounlePapillonNoiryes
I never knew MJ actually voiced his own character in this. He was so versatile
He didn't voice himself
@@tumbles19911 look it up, he did.
Guys he albeit at a lower register than his usual speaking voice, that's why he sounds different.
I never knew that until today too
No he didn’t

I think he used that voice in The Simpsons

I wonder why MJ decided to voice his character in a lower register. Maybe because it's a fighting game, and he wanted to sound hard lol. Love him
Probably
This is very likely his real voice. That high pitched soft voice was just a thing for the public
@@DTownNash No MJ himself said his voice was naturally on the softer side
@@girlette T-Pain who actually hung out with him said his voice is about where you think Michael's is and where Prince's actually is. Lol. Also if you watch his 1993 super bowl halftime show where he does "Heal The World" you'll hear it.

Rumble!!
Michael Jackson: RUMBLLLLLEEEE!!!
Mike actually did his own voice in this. I know, i didnt believe it either but i googled it and yeah, he used his normal voice
This makes this one of the rarest pieces of media that you actually get to hear MJs real speaking voice and not the voice he put on for the public.
I still can't believe that's MJs voice! ...but it is!
It was modified by a digital and electronic device I think finally of course, if it's really his voice...!
@@ArmounlePapillonNoir Essa era a voz real de Michael Jackson?
THIS IS IT
@@GuilhermeAlmeida107 See my videos: "Michael Jackson sacrificed babies to Satan."
36:37 and now this boxer needs no introduction, that's because I am your next opponent. Get ready for to Rumbleman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
38:36-38:50 That was the most craziest sequence of the whole story mode. THAT WAS SOME BULLSHIT I AGREE!!!
WTF??!!😮
Nigga spawned a rumble sequence 💀
bro, so much personality in this game. Even the ending credits with the development team was Dope!
Midway had some gems really creative games
If you noticed whenever MJ's rumble was activated his footsteps lit up like in Billie Jean
Funny thing is Michael Jackson actually wanted to be a boxer when he was a kid
His was a boxer too
There‘s was a show back then him &Ali. I‘m like „man he knows how to Box“
Lol
8:15 the best moment )
This game was so epic as a child!!! Good times
I still have it , I’ll never get rid of it either ! Whole childhood
@@kasidi002 Good
@@kasidi002for me why they didn’t do a third entry is beyond me 😞💯
the moonwalking whilst fighting.. IS TOOO HARD... makes mj look like hes taking the piss....WHICH HE IS 😭😭😭

“Arcade mode”
“One player”
.. I’ll remember that forever
I like how you ain’t just skip thru Michael’s intros because he had like 5 different ones before he fought. Lol
Gotta give Respect to the King Of Pop!
Rumbleman cheated his ass off. 😂😂😂 I'm so glad you didn't give up I love the video.
38:37 this whole moment was CRAZY. I thought you had em
Me too.
Amazing game and another reason why MJ is the greatest entertainer of all time...
"Don't tango with the King of Pop!"
5:33 Perfectly Executed.
MJ is the King Of Hands!
When I was younger the disc never really worked. When it did work, it felt like an event. I mostly played as Michael Jackson
I don't blame you.
I swear , even Michael’s grunts when he punches sound powerful….wtf lol💗
The one and only.

Ready 2 Rumble Round 2 on the PS5 would be GOLDEN‼️
Or ps4
@@god8218 No, just the PS5
30 years of gaming experience and i missed such a great game. Shame on me!
Its never too late.
I never this was on PS2 it looks so crisp and fresh.....🔥🔥🔥🔥
I know right.
My favorite part was 30:20 when you piece'd up Knokimov with that Lvl. 2 Rumble Flurry after adjusting your playstyle to the jab, jab, straight combo to defeat his strategy.
He couldn't handle the groove.
I was surprised at first that we couldn't get no letters on boris from straight jabs just special and power punches.
Yeah, he voiced it alright. Aren't we gonna talk about how Michael also PERFORMED in this game? Not sure if it was mo-capped (I think it was), but the moves he does are SO Michael it's undeniable he was there
Michael: RUMBLE!!!!! RUMBLE!!!!!
Rumbleman was the most overpowered final bosses I’ve ever encountered in a video game 😂
Michael Buffer is a American ring announcer
MJ Used his real black voice for this game
34:08 C.G. don't have time again!!!!
The best! Me & my uncle used to play the shit out of this! Always was a great time with laughter 🥲
I remember back in the day. When I would use the white rumble, if you knock them out of the ring when you’re both on the complete opposite side, then run over to the side you knocked them out and start swinging, they’ll reappear and swing outside of the map.

I had the N64 version as a kid and it's amazing the stark contrast between the graphics here and the N64. I got totally jipped.
Yep. I never played the Nintendo 64 version of this, only the PlayStation 1 in PlayStation 2.
Butcher with the true master comeback at 18:30 😂😂
A comeback no one saw coming.
I miss playing this 😭 the classic always got hard🔥
You think Michael Jackson was bizarre enough? I heard this game also has Shaq, former US president Bill Clinton _AND_ his wife, Hillary.
That's right.
You think this is bizarre?! That means you've never played Shaq Fu on Sega Genesis...the 90s were wild!!!🤩😅
I've played it once.
Muy bueno ese juego, solía jugarlo con mi papá, mi hermano y mi mamá. Que nostalgia pura
I agree.
38:36 this gonna be the greatest knockout ever
38:50 HOW SWAY!!!!!
Now that was Velveeta cheese worse than NBA2k Cheese thats that Midway cheese

What is this on?
PS2
10:34 he dodged his punches by moonwalking🤦🏽♂️😳 even in the games Mike just too smooth

Lmfao Yooooo this is HILARIOUS.

This was my game as a kid 😂
Michael paso de ser el rey del pop al rey de las piñas mortales XD
Man this looks freaking awesome

He actually did that spin move in real life when he was shadow boxing Ali for a bit 😂
That's how you counter the shuffle before jabbing his body
