When this came out on Genesis and SNES, my friends and I would stay up all night drinking beer and hooking in fatalities on each other. Simple times that I miss. This was a great game.
Como no acordarme del tremendo año de 1993 donde EL REY INDISCUTIBLE DEL POP MICHAEL JACKSON vino a mi Pais CHILE, y donde MORTAL KOMBAT 2 Y STREET FIGHTER 2 eran los MEJORES JUEGOS de PELEA EN LOS ARCADES. Sin lugar a dudas Esa fue mi Epoca FAVORITA.
"Cage realizes that MK III is inevitable" Which is funny considering that Johnny Cage wasn't originally a featured character in the initial MK III game, and didn't return until MK Trilogy which was pretty much a second add-on after UMK III of the original game.
+Squeaks The second It was mainly due to the fact that the actor (Daniel Pesina) that portrayed Johnny Cage had a fallout with Midway and Ed Boon over money, and they couldn't get another actor to portray the character in time of the deadline of MK III. Plus, I think Pesina went over his head and thought he owned the character to which he still used in advertisements for a game called "Bloodstorm" which was Daniel and his brother's failed attempt to knock off Mortal Kombat.
Look how old it is and the characters look so real and so awesome during the battles. There was a cheat code I still remember: "left down left, right down right, left left, right right" :D I've used this code to set up an option CPU vs CPU fighting and perform fatality 1, fatality 2 or friendship at the end. Bad thing was that you can only set fatality 1 OR fatality 2 OR friendship! Not all of them. I really wished to set all of them so the winner CPU to choose randomly which one to perform at the end! I just loved watching CPU vs CPU fights while I'm doing my homework. On SEGA mega drive 2 also the sounds and the music were better than these from the video. GREAT game that I will never forget!
Always loved the announcer for mortal Kombat 2 overall!! He sounds intimidating as fuck!! I know MK 3 has the same voice actor but something about MK 2 that's just different
@@AchtungBaby77 If I not mistaken, I believe I remember watching a documentary on Mortal Kombat and they said the hardest difficulty AI was programmed in such a way that the game read your controller inputs and then immediately executed the counter input so that it would always get the hit in.
@@inujosha yes, it's true, they programmed it like that. The first two, three enemies are no big problem - after them it gets much harder... But you can outsmart the cheap a.i. quite easy if you know how to do! Just like this player shows it with Johnny Cage...
Good gameplay, you should use Johnny Cage uppercut more often esp for those jumpers. Its a good move for keeping opponents off esp while backed into the corner.
I always loved using the nut buster when playing Johnny Cage for both MK I and II. When I was a kid I got in a lot of trouble for always ditching school to stay home and play Mortal Kombat on the Sega Genesis.
I love this johnny cage is my favorite look of al mk. I love all moves athletic. Absoloutly all his moves is athletic and position.put paused to see in slow motion all move Like another 11 caracter behind him or down
I don't know if it's me, growing more mature in my perception and having seen the actors' interviewed for real a bunch of times but watching the arcade version I get these glimpses of clarity where I can actually tell "Hey that's Daniel Pesina" or maybe John Parrish. It's not in their fighting stance animation or walk animations which look almost as blurry as the SNES version (the version I know the best and it's still a great version) but there are fleeting frames where I can make the connection between the man and the image. For me it's mostly when Cage puts on his glasses and Pesina does that smile that's pretty much imperceptible on the SNES.
wau, fue increible, en este tambien te pasaste todo el juego con JOHNNY CAGE, muy bueno, en este fue cuando salieron los FRIENDSHIPS y la capacidad de los personajes de ejecutar un segundo FATALITY
Before I always did nutpunch to uppercut, but doing nutpunch to jump kick to shadow kick does crazy damage, takes half their health away! Also you can do the nut punch instead of the uppercut when they jump towards you so you can do more damage

I like how Jade DOESN'T understand what you were doing with the Shadow Uppercuts and just stood there not knowing what was happening and even ate a Shadow Uppercut. XD Didn't know you could Jade's AI with Shadow Uppercuts. Any chance you'll try this against Smoke or Noob Saibot as well?
Are there any playthroughs you do without spamming the ai jumping exploit? Seen 3 of your other videos and its pretty much the same thing. I aint complaining but you really so heavy on it.

I miss those days
I'd stay up all night drinking Sprite and pretending I had friends to play this with. But my imaginary friends thought I was cool, so, yeah.
great times of my childhood bad ass game mk2
@@nope9858you and me both
I just love that background sound when fatality sign appears. it's... OUTSTANDING
No, it’s flawless
Meeeewwww
Totally agree
I really wanna find a soundbite of it
They should've brought it back in other games.
The nut punch will remain the most iconic move in the history of mk
Oooohhhhhhhhh
More iconic than "GET OVER HERE!!!"
Not to mention Johnny Cage's reaction when done unto him.
Or what about the scorpion fire breathing? Subzero ice ball?
Taken from Bloodsport.
"To my greatest fan! Cage"
Neo Sparda HOLLYWOOD 🖐🏻🖐🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💲💲💲💲💲
Lol
Ahhhh whaaa
8:11 wow that Johnny Cage changed his pants from red to blue while falling!!!
I had never seen this bug
Guessing they didn't bother to change the sprite.
Not just that, but as he's falling (before the camera changes to overhead) he's screaming with his mouth closed!
Lies again? Mountain Blast
I used to beat the computer all the time with Johnny Cage man takes me back to 1994-96💪
I really love the sound effects and the way Cage blows a Kiss after winning.
The good Old days when the AI would grab you out of a sweep good memories.
4:35--"Friendship! FRIENDSHIP!?!"
That was a really funny twist on finish him/her. ‘Babality’ was also good lol.

MK always had the best audio, music and fight announcer.
I luv Johnny Cage's ball hitting real smooth

Wglass90 then in the future he turns into a pretty important character
Which is why Raiden and Johnny Cage weren't in the original MK 3
@@Wglass90 no he was killed in mk3
A PERFECT on Khan in the final round?! Awesome.

I like how when you go to sweep them and they just grab you instead. WHY THE FUCK DO THEY DO THAT!?

Designed to take your coins brother
I forgot how terribly cheap the AI was. Freaking Shang Tseung did a throw on him before he even finished landing his jump. 14:24
Designed to steal quarters
That's one thing I NEVER forgot with this game! The cheap AI was downright horrible.

The Pit II Fatality always amazed me as a little fella.
I luv how this Johnny Cage hit's oppeents In the groin area when they least expect It
this game is tough as hell
11:08 look at her face
Too tough.
Hes playing on very easy
Dude you have the same strategy as me when fighting kintaro nice
+john carvalho nice pic
john carvalho that's everbodies strategy ya intermediate fucko
The graphics looks so clean
One of my favorite characters of the MK franchise and always will be, but good walkthrough playing him.
Name the most iconic move of MK:
Anyone: "Scorpion's Spear"
Me, the real Chad: "Cage's Nut Punch"
Nut punch is most iconic for me
Master Daniel. Pesina
Oh yeah, why DIDN'T you use Cage's Green Force Ball attacks? That could've given you some more range to pull some of your combos on.
The AI is very good at dodging the force ball. It’s more useful on Kintaro and Shao Kahn.
Good gameplay, you should use Johnny Cage uppercut more often esp for those jumpers. Its a good move for keeping opponents off esp while backed into the corner.

That Split punch combo he put together was Monstrous #Sheesh
the best game ever
My childhood game too
I missed playing this game
I love the impact on the punches and hard kicks
"Let's dance."
4:48 “THAT’S FOR KEEPING ME OUT OF THE REBOOT!”
Lol
The overall best MK game
Mk1 is da best
This has better sound effects than the Sega Genesis version
That's because this is the Arcade version
I remember when I used to go through the arcade with Johnny Cage memeries👊
Ok we get it
2:20 Jax breaks the laws of physics by flying through a wall and landing in a vat of acid
I love this johnny cage is my favorite look of al mk. I love all moves athletic. Absoloutly all his moves is athletic and position.put paused to see in slow motion all move Like another 11 caracter behind him or down

Best MK playthrough to watch while taking my morning dookie
The music for the courtyard stage sounds a lot like the SNES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 when you fight Shredder in the final stage.
Couldnt get that "Toasty" in "The Portal" fighting Scorpion huh? Damn, fighting Smoke is very awesome.
That only works in two player versus play.
God damn how much do you hate Kung Lao lol
Yeah, he destroyed his balls and beheaded him THREE times!!
2:16 through the door lmao
Shawn James glitch in the game
when cage uppercuts the other cage from the pit level to do the stage fatality he does it to the red pants but it shows the blue pants :)
wau, fue increible, en este tambien te pasaste todo el juego con JOHNNY CAGE, muy bueno, en este fue cuando salieron los FRIENDSHIPS y la capacidad de los personajes de ejecutar un segundo FATALITY
I like so much Daniel Pesina acting as Johnny Cage
La música de los créditos al final es lejos la mejor de todas! Que emoción

Dashie reference?😂
@@pikameowth3199 DING! You are correct sir! 😂👌
johnny Cage is awesome and cool.
Hardest game ever. Even on an easy setting.
Johnny Cages ball smash.... the best move ever!!!
Johnny Cage is so cold. I wish I had that special ability to do the shadow kick haha
8:13 red pants
8:14 now blue pants
the arcade audio clips are so much better than Sega or SNES
Trying to flip kick into Baraka is suicide
Mortal Kombat 2 has the illest music intro ever has anyone ever notice that.🤔😁
4:30 Cage the heart breaker, saves Kitana❤️
TOTALLY AWESOME HANDS DOWN!
YOU MADE MY DAY GOOD! I LOVE HOW
JHONNY CAGE DESTROYED SHAO KAWN!
Johnny Cage. Shao Kahn.

I think MK2 wouldeve had the best roster in the classic MK games if Kano and Sonya had been put in
Marcou minha infância
*JOHNNY CAGE IS THE MAN.**
Try to connect the jump kick and the shadow kick after the pop up, you'll have an extra hit that way.
I love you went for the hidden characters
nice work!
ese juego realmente si es dificil =(
bien jugado
xRiptor v
Dammit, nice attempt trying to get Smoke. I haven't done that on single player
5:20 You have heard of double take, right? I call this one......TRIPLE TAKE!!!!!! XD LOL
Hola Joker
Dude I just put it together in mortle kombat X Kassi his daughter does the same nut punch 😄😄😄😄😄😄 Like father like daughter.😉

Fantastic !
Dude had a crush on kitana. In all his playthroughs no matter the character he always does a friendship with her.
How dare you do my sweet beautiful Jade like that!!!! 😳😳😡😡😂😂😂

Watching the movie brought me here to reminisce
After all this years, i still have no clue... Why sometimes Johhny's shade in Shadow Kick is green, and why sometimes red?!?
Wait...... Daniel Pesina is the actor for Johnny Cage, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, and Smoke!?
07:49 Cage has the best look on his face!
I know right! Cage getting punched in the sack is hilarious!!
For this game to be 30 years old it sounds and look amazing ❤
MK2 still has the best audio and sound effects of all the MK games to this day. MKT is a close, close 2nd.
I think u love kitana bcoz u never use a fatality on her
Damn, you're good! I never played this game that good, because to me it's HARD.
That Three head uppercut is the best 💯😎
1:37 - 1:38 Jax was smart right there
in every playthrough, he always do frienship on Kitana... such love there
+Haohmaru Of The Wind ill check them

If you play on the right side (Player 2), the game plays totally different, and that strategy isn't necessary.
Scott Jardine I was thinking the same thing.
That's the only way you can Win
Cage getting thrown is my favorite noise
is it possible to play against smoke in 1-player mode ? like you attempt to do in 9:20 ... I thought only uppercuts in 2 player mode was possible.
between Mortal Kombat 1991 and Mortal Kombat 1193 which one u guy's luv playing more than ever and y u luv playing the game u choose
johnny cage best
Johnny Cage Is My Favorite Martial Arts Video Game And One Of The Main Protagonist He Is The Comedy Relief Character.
This must be the first arcade version. I remember raiden throwing move was almost unstoppable
Nope. This is MK2. The AI was just pretty crappy though.
After Johnny Cage wins a battle as a playable character, the announcer says "Johnny Cage wins", but the message says "CAGE WINS".
James Thong what's your point
@@dakentaijutsu2010 In later Mortal Kombat games, the message also says "JOHNNY CAGE WINS" when Johnny Cage made his return in Mortal Kombat Trilogy.
@@jamesthong2508 ok? So?
good video! :D
