This game was indeed brutally hard. I always knew I was in for a fight when I’d see Jade in a tower. I could do so well and then get to her and boom lol
The problem with old MK's is the AI read inputs. MK difficulty didnt matter. It was coded to take quarters. I used exploits to beat the cpu but the same tactics were terrible against people. Man, I do feel Trilogy had the best player vs player til the reboots.
I'd say MK started to be more player vs CPU once the 3D Era came around. Ed Boon has said as much that he would never want to program bullshit AI like this again 😂.
Oooh yeahhhhh!!!!!!!! MK Trilogy????? Let’s goooo!!!!!! This is my favorite 2D MK game and forever will be! The amount of fun I have with this one is incredible and I still think it’s good today, despite some bugs here and there. The amount of kontent available is insane and I love it. Very good choice today, Ian.😊👍
I always went into the options and turned them off... I never played as Shang Tsung, and him not being able to morph into other fighters when controlled by the CPU actually makes fighting him a little easier.
Hey Ian, you can do the hop kick that Scorp beat with you too. It's just up and kick without going forward or back. It beats a jump kick every time. It's good against people that just jump back and forth all over the screen. Just a heads up to help you with your game. Great video as always man!
Yesss my main man(y) Ermac! Ermac was my favorite character since he was introduced in MK3, because, well, he has FUCKING TELEKINETIC ABILITIES. The dude could slam you around with his mind. It makes sense that they completely ignored this aspect of his powers and made him “leftovers” in Annihilation…because how do you beat that? It’s too OP! hahaha Edit: Pure determination on display in this episode with the color swap ninja battles and the Shao Khan fights. “Rain’s trying to get through the cheese! He can’t do it!” 😆 Really good. Also, I suppose there’s inevitably going to be a point where you can’t reply to every comment. I certainly would understand if you just cherry picked some to respond to with all the content you’re putting out. Don’t want to feel like we’re giving you more work with every comment, too. Thanks for another great start to the week, and for persevering!
Thanks man. I'm like 3 hours into this run of catching up on comments. I think I need to just start using the heart for comments that aren't questions or don't NEED an answer, right? The heart can just be a "I see you, I hear you, thank you" button.
This game is amazing. Love the character selection screen. Tons of people to pick. The ninjas of the game look sick. The finishers in this game are some of the best if not the best. Cheers. From your friendly nabourhood Canadian. Cheers 🥂
The "I can't let you get close" is a reference to that UFC MMA like a contender sort of show I didn't actually watch the show but I saw it on a UA-cam short 😂🤣
This game is an absolute torture man! Even after you passed it, still doesn't feel like you accomplished anything? You get your ass handed to you so bad that at the end you just want to turn the dam thing off and go cry haha that Shao Khan 9sec murder was insanity my dude lol #ThanksForWhatYouDo #WeAreTheDanDans #MuchLove #MortalKombatMonday
I used to spam the pause when I fought Shao Kahn. I would like, frame by frame fight him just to block and dodge everything he'd do. He is so insane to fight straight up. I still had issues cheesing him. I haven't tried in years.
If I had to guess, if you had that endurance fight on the champion ladder you more than likely would've had to fight 5 fighters. I feel bad that you had to fight 3 in the first place. Also, hi Patches!
this brings me back so many memories playing Mortal Kombat Trilogy with my late dad 🥺🥲. we would play for hours and he would waste me with Kabal or SubZero. but I would waste him with Scorpion or Raiden. RIP to my dad 💔🥺😭
At 4:13 the reason the 1 button fatalitiy didn't work is because you finished the round with an uppercut. for some reason the 1 button fatals get a bit buggy when you finish a round this way
Trilogy is up there for me as one of the best MKs just for the insanity of it all, great stuff. Though I always cheesed it up playing with kintaro hahaha
Man, I always wanted MK Trilogy when I was a kid. Can’t remember which magazine it was but I obsessed over this multi paged review of it. Annihilation should have looked like this game. Interesting about going back to games played as a kid now and sucking. I experience it sometimes but the other day I went back to play the first Sonic the Hedgehog since 2013 and it were like riding a bike. But I would have thrown a tantrum playing this 😧
His combos alone pi**ed me the fu*k off when he executed them PURE RAGE QUIT with the elbows, forearms and side kick strings lol. The entire game really was a rage quit fest if you didn't know how to handle yourself playing it with good patience in which I didn't have lol. As of playing right now I'm doing the Capcom Classic Collections Vol. 2: Varth. I love arcade shoot'em ups
I used beat Mortal Kombat Trilogy , but I can't beat it anymore. Being 38 years old sucks sometimes but I'm still great at Tekken, Tekken 2 , Tekken 3, WWF SmackDown and WWF SmackDown 2! (PS1)
Ermac is broken af in this game. Online in UMK3 people were dirt with ermac Game Is super easy. If u stand in place jump directly up and let th AI walk into u, u can come down into ur max combo for max damage. Literally never have to move past half screen. Easiest game ai ever
@@616Entertainment I'm telling u learn the Jump into combo move against ai. Some guy breaks down "The science of umk3" and has a phenomenal breakdown of the game. Seriously it's too good a game for a terrible broken unbalanced game. It's the crack of games. Once u get good at its broken mechanics, it's fast gameplay is just super fun. All combos basically are the same if u press the buttons a certain way on the controller no bs.....
@@616Entertainment nah seriously it's super easy. The game really is like press buttons and mash. I promise. Thenstudying is just so u can learn quick what I mean. I learned when I was 7 on SNES lol
I love the videos bad usual but especially your retro mk playthroughs! Also did you hear about the next mk legends movie?! It’s coming out in October of this year and revolves around kenshi! It’s called snow blind!
Despite his game being hard as fuck, it’s still my favorite MK game of all time. My brother and I spend countless hours working the towers. Shaq Khan cheeses so hard in this game as you can attest to that 😂
That one button Fatality cheat sometimes didn’t want to work. There’d be times I’d go for someone’s Friendship or second Fatality and it would never come out
I have to chime in. For me, its not that i enjoy seeing you fail. Its that i enjoy seeing someone NORMAL play games. Im over the 100% no death hit, 15 minute, no pickups, speedrunners. We get it, youre good at games. I also have 0 gaming ego with nothing to prove. Its refreshing to just watch someone play a game....not give a review, not try to win a record, etc.
This was a good gathering of all of the MK characters in one game for the three 2D MK games while MK Armageddon was for the 3D MK games. Makes me wonder if they'll make another MK game with the "Everyone is here" mentality with the characters from MK 9 and onward. It might include the guest characters... And yea, the AI was always cheap, lol! Input reading bullsh*t! I know the arcade games were designed to eat your quarters but this was never an arcade game, the first console exclusive MK game iirc. So I wish they balance the difficulty better for this game for that reason. So as of this comment, I just started playing Dragon Quest Builders 2. I enjoy the series a whole bunch.
I'm gonna straight up say this Ian if you think you suck at this game I never wanna show you how much I suck at this game 🤣😂 I've only ever completed one of them towers & I bet you can guess which one, took me owning the game over a couple of years & playing it constantly with my brother when we was kids just to even get good enough to challenge the towers lol another brilliant episode of mortal Kombat Monday thanks Ian 👏🙌😁
Out of the 2D MK games, MK Trilogy was the low point in this franchise, lazy gore, oversmart AI & broken characters. Playing online in this, don't be surprised when if you keep fighting Kabal & Cyber Smoke over and over again Don't blame you for using auto combo, didn't that a thing in this game
I found this game to be refreshingly *easy* compared to MK3/UMK3. Still have my original PS copy. I also have it for N64... both have their merits and failings. I never considered myself a pro Mortal Kombat player... I just learned how to exploit the ai. Also... considering you are really just playing for fun and entertainment, why not set the difficulty to "very easy"? I also have a suggestion/request. I would LOVE to see you play some MK MUGENs on MK Monday. Particularly "Mortal Kombat Trilogy Extended" and "Mortal Kombat: Defenders of Earth". There is an "Open BoR" game called "MK: Outworld Assasins" also... Even if you never include them in an MK Monday, I still think you would absolutely love these games!
I didn’t even know there was auto combos in this game. I’m about to turn that bitch on and start winning some play throughs hahaha. This shit is so hard, I don’t care if I have to cheat through it.
Could I talk you into a few friendly rounds on MK11? I'd love an excuse to play it and show off my skins/customization's. 5:25 well at least one of us does :D
I built an army of female CAWs on Here Comes The Pain to start my own women's division. Currently Gail Kim is my champion and Captain marvel and Wonder Woman are the tag champs
for me UMK3 was the height of the franchise. Like, 2 and then 1 will come first as favorites but then UMK3 for sure. I asked for a sega saturn just to own the game after I played it for as long as I could in an arcade one summer. Amazing memories, my dad let me play for so long and yeah the sound and visuals, like my hair was probably all blown back and shit corny 90's commercial style haha. And then yeah being the only one on the block with UMK3 was awesome. I was pissed when they added who they did to the Snes version, the graphics were such a downgrade but I did miss having them on the Saturn version. Trilogy felt like such a rushed glitchy mess, with the lame gore pieces, 3 rib cages and 4 legs! lol The sound and graphics seemed to be muddy on all systems. The big appeal of course was the roster and the fact you could say like be mk 2 Raiden in UMK3 levels, shit like that was the best part having it all there to choose from
The 3 fighter endurance was out of control and they gave zero indication that Rain would be in the fight so I call hog shit dog shit. Also kinda disappointed there's no character ending. That's a big exclusion from this game
I haven't been playing games for the past 4 months I just move from Va to mo now, I just been busy with alot of stuff, I did played mk11 on switch, mk11 on switched sucked balls
This game is just as bad as MK2 DanDan. Very hard to beat CPU. You'd do better online against a pro probably lol AND BLOCKING WILL GET YOU NOWHERE! Fun Fact: I remember Sheeva's Brutality. It's the easiest one though. All Brutalities start with square too. GoW Ascension is what I'm playing. It's pretty hard on hard. Way harder than the other 5 I've played. Rain does have a projectile! Maybe his AI won't use it. It's the controlling water ball deal. That last endurance match popped me huge! YEAAAHHHHH! I loved doing 2v2 Kombat in this game with Ermac and Reptile (Mario Bros), Sheeva & Sindel (bodyguard), Sektor & Kabal (no relation), and Sonya & Kano. Great times. Just like this episode! So good and entertaining! Keep auto-combo man, only snobs give a fuck. I don't use them myself but I have no problem with people who do and will fight anyone, better or worse. Keep it up!
Being good at a fighting game is a depreciable skill. Unless you play it actively, you lose all the timing to pull of the combos and counters you used to be able to do. Along with some of the moves. Plus as you get older, your reaction time decreases in general. As well as learning ability slows. Im not talking when you get to 60 either, this hits in your 30s. See most athletes retire around this age or start their decline down the latter. All to say, young me would whoop old me ass in MK.
I'm 41, and I have not lost a step since 1992. At least regarding Mortal Kombat. The timing, the a.i. exploits, the dial a combos, special move and finisher inputs are all permanently seared into my brain. Even after my daughter was born in November of 2000, and I didn't play any video games at all for a number of years... I just picked up right where I left off with MK.
I had ultimate mk3 and I could only win with noob saibot (which is cheating I know) except when I got to Shao Kahn, I could only beat him with mask less sub-zero because his freeze went under the green projectile
This game was indeed brutally hard. I always knew I was in for a fight when I’d see Jade in a tower. I could do so well and then get to her and boom lol
Who you telling till this day whenever I decided to play MK with Jade in it I say "fu*k you Jade".
death
The problem with old MK's is the AI read inputs. MK difficulty didnt matter. It was coded to take quarters. I used exploits to beat the cpu but the same tactics were terrible against people. Man, I do feel Trilogy had the best player vs player til the reboots.
it's eating them :(
Its always hungry
I'd say MK started to be more player vs CPU once the 3D Era came around.
Ed Boon has said as much that he would never want to program bullshit AI like this again 😂.
I was literally about to be on my way home and got the notification! Thank you for giving me something to listen to on my way home!🙏🏼🐉
Hell yea, man.
Oooh yeahhhhh!!!!!!!! MK Trilogy????? Let’s goooo!!!!!! This is my favorite 2D MK game and forever will be! The amount of fun I have with this one is incredible and I still think it’s good today, despite some bugs here and there. The amount of kontent available is insane and I love it. Very good choice today, Ian.😊👍
19:20 TMNT Shredders Revenge. Might be my favorite beat-em up of all time.
7:21 apparently Ermac has 5 whole skulls
MK Trilogy was super hard, but I still have fond memories of it. It was the first Mortal Kombat game I owned on Playstation.
Mine too
I'm currently replaying Arkham Asylum on my 360,cruising through it
I beat it,now I'm gonna play through Arkham City
I love the the mysterious/creepy tone of the old school mortal kombat games. Also 18:25 😂😂😂 that was bullshit.
MAJOR
Trilogy? I'll never forget those Shang Tsung load times 😏😏😏
I always went into the options and turned them off... I never played as Shang Tsung, and him not being able to morph into other fighters when controlled by the CPU actually makes fighting him a little easier.
Only time I would play with Shang Tsung was on the n64 version.
You can turn them off!
My favorite character selection screen music in the series 🥰
18:26 My exact words 😆. Excellent video.
Was just playing this game last weekend!! So much fun!!
Your reaction to Rain was classic. Haha
I was shocked!
Rain literally kick the shit out of u in mid air so dam quick 😂😂 21:52
He just No Sold it!!
Such garbage.
Hey Ian, you can do the hop kick that Scorp beat with you too. It's just up and kick without going forward or back. It beats a jump kick every time. It's good against people that just jump back and forth all over the screen. Just a heads up to help you with your game. Great video as always man!
I try, man. I try.
I know Mortal Kombat trilogy is not the best game but I get nostalgia when I’m playing it or when i’m watching game play of it.
28:16 I love the deep cut MMA references! Keep it going!!!
Glad your almost at 100k man keep it up hoping to see your channel grow
Working as hard as I can, man.
Yesss my main man(y) Ermac! Ermac was my favorite character since he was introduced in MK3, because, well, he has FUCKING TELEKINETIC ABILITIES. The dude could slam you around with his mind.

"Ha got em-"
Rain enters the battle!

That 9 second loss was insane.
you have to be close to them for the 1-button fatality
Ermac and Rain were my mains for competitive MK Trilogy. Dudes was busted lol
I used to spam the pause when I fought Shao Kahn. I would like, frame by frame fight him just to block and dodge everything he'd do. He is so insane to fight straight up. I still had issues cheesing him. I haven't tried in years.
Isn't that so sad that we had to do that? lol

Keep it up
Plenty more to come, my dude.

I agree, MK 3 and MK 2 are HARD, but MK 2's stages are awesome and MK 3's music is out of this world!

Ermac is fun to beat the game with
This might be the hardest game I’ve ever played. I never ever beat a tower on this game. It’s just a skill gap I could never close
Beating the single player mode was more about exploited the AI than skill.
It's so nuts.
insert Captain Mckay's Ermac voice
10/10

This is the one
Instead of calling the endurance round lot, Mustard and Ketchup I would call them TakiBoys because Tara likes Takis

Being good at a fighting game is a depreciable skill. Unless you play it actively, you lose all the timing to pull of the combos and counters you used to be able to do. Along with some of the moves. Plus as you get older, your reaction time decreases in general. As well as learning ability slows. Im not talking when you get to 60 either, this hits in your 30s. See most athletes retire around this age or start their decline down the latter. All to say, young me would whoop old me ass in MK.
I'm 41, and I have not lost a step since 1992.
At least regarding Mortal Kombat.
The timing, the a.i. exploits, the dial a combos, special move and finisher inputs are all permanently seared into my brain. Even after my daughter was born in November of 2000, and I didn't play any video games at all for a number of years... I just picked up right where I left off with MK.
I forget how to play much easier games in a matter of weeks, man. So fighters are even worse for me, lol
You do poorly we get more comedy gold from you. Its not the suffering per say, its the added comedy.
There's an element of that for sure.
Sheeva could get it
Mk 2 is way harder than trilogy but all these arcade based games were hard but they were harder in the arcade
Trilogy wasn't in arcades, but I know what you mean.
I had ultimate mk3 and I could only win with noob saibot (which is cheating I know) except when I got to Shao Kahn, I could only beat him with mask less sub-zero because his freeze went under the green projectile
Not cheating!
Nah, this game is hard.
I only beat this TWICE! Lui Kang and Noob Saibot smh cheating as AI
