I wasn't born when these arcade games come out but I really love this game. Music back then was better then the current generation of Mortal Kombat games
i still play this at my local bar. they have it on the 2nd floor and everytime im there,i see ppl crowding around it and putting their tokens on the screen like its the 90s all over again. good times
I like to think so aswell because I loved it as a kid. I payed £45 brand new from local market store (mega drive). It was £50-£60 in shops. I had the old arcade power stick. Still proud of how smooth this game runs. They should remake it with more combos and moves. I got the arcade version, and the animation to button response is lost in the current MK titles.
Somehow I remember beating the game as Liu Kang when I was much younger. I beat Kintaro with the same strategy this guy used. Honestly jump kicking works half the time with these older games
12:59 I love the way that the very second his final kick ends, Scorpion goes right into his win pose. He doesn't even wait for Khan to get up. It makes him look really pleased with himself.
It's a matter of setting up the moves right after the kick, like tapping back on the stick while in midair. Back in the days of the arcade, you'd be surprised at some of the combos folks could pull.
The first round, he treated Kintaro with dignity. But Kintaro kept doing the same thing over and over again. Scorpion had to lower the level of his tactics, and while effective, it was less than impressive.
Yup that's about the only way to consistently win against him. A double flawless isn't hard using that method once you got the timing down. But kintaro falls for that 9/10 but for some reason some encounters with him he won't do it
That's a pretty awesome combo of fly kick & spear immediately after. Great playthrough!! I must try this on MAME soon. Scorpion IS Mortal Kombat - full stop.
@@Chilling_ChillingI mean, both Scorpion and Sub-Zero are vastly more popular than Liu Kang even if he’s supposed to be the “main characters”. The two ninjas are the true faces of MK since the beginning.

May have grew up in this era, but never picked up a MK game by the looks of it... Being “skilled” at this is For 1.Stupid, These games compared to now arn’t complex, and don’t need you to do insane combos to be “good”. Being good is beating the game...nothing more. 2.Just because you grew up in the era of this game doesn’t make you any expert. Not to mention with fighting games like this. Back then, one of the only ways to win street fighter or MK was to exploit with characters, which this guy did successfully. And he beat it...making him good at Mk2
@PSJukkis. His stage is D,F,F, block. Toasty is D,D,U,U, HP (hold block). Spear slice is D,F,F,F (hold HP close). Dead pool(for everyone) hold LK,LP, get close then D,HP.
this game set the standard for sequels, fighting games sequels were basically the same game with more moves, stages etc this was completely blew me away when I first saw and played it, beyond any expectation
It's really not THAT hard. There's a super easy strategy to beat him. (Jump kick spam). It works about 90% of the time, but sometimes kintaro doesn't go for it. Now getting a double flawless fighting him regularly would be beyond difficult. It's funny I used to think of this game as one of the toughest ever , til 20 years later I found out how to cheese the shit out of it
@@hemmiT-A.M Haha . I know exactly how you feel bro! Believe me when I used to play this on Sega , there were many times when the controller would go flying across the room. Lol especially with kintaro
Nobody is gonna talk about the ending and how Scorpion basically dedicated his afterlife to protecting Sub-Zero? Original Hanzo was a good man even in death.
I was just paying attention to how fast he plays! To play at this speed he needs to play the mega drive version. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the SNES port. But, the pile of dog puke kicks like a mule. And I’ll put it up against any home version. Genesis is fast.
Oh man, if you’ve never played this game as a kid squinting through a haze of cigarette smoke on 30” crt arcade box in a bar you weren’t supposed to be in then you haven’t lived my friend! I remember the first time I beat Kintaro I let out an involuntary yell and the bartender realized I wasn’t with a parent and she kicked me out lol, luckily she was cool and let me get my ass whooped by Shao Kahn before asking my leave LOL GOOD TIMES
I think most people of the gamer age are too young to remember this or appreciate it. This is really nestalgic for me, i played these old MK games on Sega with my older brother in the early 90s
I made it to Kintaro tonight on the old school arcade. Looks like the flying kick for him and the uppercut for Shao Kahn. I'll give it another shot in a day or two
you cant belive that this is on the same system as alex kid or shinobi limited animation/movement game. It shows what is possible if you have creativity and talent. Only a few games has still this freshness in animation. Earthworm jim ect......
The voice actor that played the main announcer was superb ..
Bro killed it every time and really brought the vibes..
voice over/shao kahn: steve richie.
shao kahn motion capture actor: brian glynn.
Outstanding
I loved it made the game great
Lol of course scorpion against scorpion
fun fact: Ed boon (co-creator of mortal kombat) has said his favorite fighter is scorpion and feels every MK game would feel incomplete without him
Ironic since MK3 didn't have Scorpion in It
Well Scorpion would abuse the hell out of characters i think
Eduardo Centeno umk3 did
He been the voice for Scorpion for over 23 years now. Ed Boon has the world record for being the longest running voice actor in a video game.
Very true
Shao Kahn: "You are nothing!"
Scorpion: "C'MERE!!!"

Agreed. No was around then and the music just matched the atmosphere and the mood of the game. My favorite MK ever
You're damn right
Yes this is still my favorite MK.The music is what makes this game play enjoyable.
I was 9 and saw how bright it was in color. Line wrapped around it
These were epic times at the arcades. Mk was EVERYWHERE like '92-'97

Smoke is a Pallette Skin version of Scorpion in MK2. He moves twice as fast , has Spear and Invisibility
Description says it all - this is the arcade version (3.1) on medium difficulty.
Hello 👍
Man Scorpion has been my favorite fighter since day one of mortal kombat.
The best fighting game of that era.
Scorpion becomes the guardian of Sub-Zero's little brother? Very Nice
0:42 that fatility is in shaolin monks!! Almost every fatality in here is in MK shaolin monks
This guys a beast! The AI on this game is a challenge for most people he makes it look easy.
He really does I'm like shocked
@KurtAngleTheSicko Me too, i just dont have it yet, MKAK was not released for europe yet... : (
Perfect name for an NBA franchise in Pennsylvania wearing the same colors as Scorpion of Mortal Kombat.
It still looks so good...its amazing
Your method for defeating Shao Kahn is incredibly funny
Man scorpion was like my favorite character from mortal kombat
Arguably the best video game ever made.

In round 2 or 3. You can hold hp the whole round while using LK

Kintaro, pissed him off with that win...straight cheese afterwards...🤣🤣🤣
@RussX5Z mame with original arcade roms.
Damn dude, Kintaro about gotcha. Still a good run.
Uh, so Sub Zero survived being cut in half? How nice of Scorpion to look after him after doing that!
Back before the weapons, running and the combos. I'm not sure if combos made the game easier once you master them.
@ 3:51 Scorpion had to remind Cage "this aint like the movie punk"; where you can just win cause you're a good guy...
Pretty Dope! I miss going to the Grand Slam playing this ! LOL
Wow dude how in the world do u lure them n it's almost as If u control the computer and that kick to spear is amazing dude ur a beast.
I couldn’t play this game by myself when I was younger someone had to be with me cause I was so scared lol good times
Especially at night
6:24 throw over on up - excellent
