you can start to input while jumping (up, up, down) and press HP when landing - you have to be quite fast - but now you are invisible and continue with a slide or something. This works pretty good.
I never liked playing as reptile because I always felt like his best move was just as much of a disadvantage to me as my opponent. I also felt like the computer already knew where I was regardless lol at least better than I knew so against the AI I felt at disadvantage
Even if you cant see yourself, you know what youre pressing. The fact you know you're doing either a jump in or a slide is a huge advantage over an opponent who doesnt know if they should block high or low.
Evan Snoes I know, but he was better in his human/ninja form, it would have been good if his true form was a giant reptilian monster and that he uses his human form when he fights in the MK tournaments. His MK4 design for example looks terrible
Reptile's lore ties into his appearance, which is basically that the longer he is away from the psychic link that the females of his species generate with the males, the less control he has over his disguise. He's always someone's gofer because the males of his race bond and are subservient to the females and so it's in his nature to want to follow, not lead and why when he's masterless, he feels useless and purposeless. Anyway, even though he's in service to Tsung, Shao, nitara, and now Kotal, he's still not any closer to a female of his species to restore his sanity, so he's losing more and more of his appearance. Apparently the full "raptor" design is indeed big and beastly and not so lizard-like, but due to him still "trying" to keep his disguise, he ends up in a doofy uncanny valley. MKX was gonna have him as said beast, with a tail and inflating throat sack, but they didn't have time to fully implement those aspects and so basically just re-used his MK9 status, but ironically, the Alien ended up being made separately (thus having more time to work on it) and Reptile makes several comments about how it "looks a lot like his species". I fully expect that, come MK11, he's going to be taking 90% of the alien's moveset and will have that beastly appearance.
This was the mortal kombat game I never owned. I always felt like it was the best one though, after renting it tons of times. I had MK 1 and MK 3 but never owned MK 2, and I wish I'd asked my parents for it as a Christmas gift or something. But at least it's easy to play these days, using emulators.
It was the happiest day of my childhood when my stepfather brought me Sega Mega Drive with an MK2 cartridge. My eyes were burning and heart beating fast. I spent the whole night looking at this beautiful fusion of realistic figures, musical accompaniment and incredible battle. It was 1997 and I was 13. Black and white cathode ray TV. I will never forget that feeling..
Everything about the look and sound design of this game was so cool and mysterious to me when I first played as a kid. MK2 was my first Mortal Kombat game at like 9 years old. Reptile was the first fighter I chose because I thought he looked so cool. My first fight the computer uppercut me into the dead pool and when my skeleton floated up I was scared and turned off the game for a while before I got the courage to try again. This game is burned into my mind forever lol.
I miss getting the magazines as a kid and just studying the moves and looking at all the pictures. God i miss those days. The new mk just dont have the same feels
@@Etrician55 Oh My GOD! The magazines. More specifically to me “The one” magazine. Had all their moves and their player ratings against certain players, boss fighting ability, etc. Reptile was my favorite. Sadly, he had the lowest rating, in like every category, of any mk2 character in the game ☹️. Anyways, that magazine was my prized possession. Thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Mk2 was and always will be my favorite title in the franchise. Don't get me wrong mk5-mk x are great, but for me, it doesn't have that "classic" feel to it you know. I guess I'm an old school style "original" fan huh?. Reptile was and always will be my number 1 male ninja character. He is awesome, I was surprised when I first met him in MK1. I know a ton of fans say, Scorpion or Sub zero, but to me reptile is the best, I think of him like the special ranger from the power rangers series. We have the ninjas then we have a special ranger that doesn't show up until way later. But that's not the reason why I love him, I love him because when I met him when I was a kid, i always thought that he was and still is cooler than Scorpion and Sub zero. He's my number 1. Always my number 1😊😊
Definitely my favorite character in MKII, Baraka was a close second! I swear I tried everything to uncover a secret about the floor moving on the board where he kills Sub-zero lol. SADLY, there was none.
Nice! Thanks for posting, nothing like coming home from a long day of work and finding an MK2 play through with one of my favorite characters in the whole MK universe :)
Who’s your favorite? Liu Kang or Sub Zero? I’d have to say my favorite is Lord Raiden. Favorite human character (who’s not a god like Raiden) is probably Liu Kang.
This was the game that really made the Mortal Kombat franchise, a massive leap forward from the first MK game. I guess you could also say the same about Street Fighter II.
i played this game ever since i was six,the new characters are great but the original ones like,kano,liu kang,raiden,johnny cage,scorpion,sub-zero,and sonya are cooler than the new ones
My all time favorite video game. I remember the day I first played the 2nd game. I fell in love with the first game. The 1st time I played mk 2 was at a mazzios. I've never ate pizza so fast in my life.
You can think this movie is corny and everything but I saw it in theatre’s when I was 10 years old and everyone absolutely loved it including myself. Everyone was pretending to fight each other in the hall while leaving! I wanted to be Liu Kang! He was such a badass!
I have played on keyboard and you just cant do it that way - windows can't handle having two buttons pressed down at the same time (LP,LK) and then pressing a third one (HP) plus the directional keys... thats pretty much why you rarely see Acid bath fatality on my videos.
@SoulSnatching How do I make my mame run smooth my game is very glitchy... btw i like the filter u sent me a while back ago i can really tell the difference right away smooth and crisper.
On the SNES version CPUs like Baraka and Jax that can't teleport/slide/leap/roll/etc. completely freak out when spammed with Raiden's lightning, just jumping all the time
Reptile was the coolest ninja, no idea why they changed him into a lizard and never had him disguised as a ninja anymore. Like why didn't they turn scorpion into a flaming skeleton considering that's literally what he is lol
I liked Reptile when he was a reptilian wearing a human suit. The best rendition of him without it was MK 4. When they started making him less likely to be able to wear a "human suit" by giving him some kind of dinosaur head I was not feeling that.
+Ramiro1992 (Mr_X) Probably because of the gaming industry crash, and they needed people to buy games. Or because the government wasn't so butt hurt like now.
He used to be at same league with scorpio and sub zero until they turned him into slave, creature, punching bag, anything degrading. Hope they dignify him in mk1
Making him turn invisible was always the hardest move in the game. Neither you or your opponent knew what you were doing haha
Hahahaha yes mate

Just count your steps and keep your eyes on the screen
The way his name is announced is bad ass. Loved it in the mk movie too
King Justice it was the same record placed in the movie. the best one. mk2
Always loved that
Steve Ritchie did Shao Kahn's voice in MK2, MK3, UMK3 and MKT. His announcement sounds much better than in all the "new" MKs imo!
@@greensun1334 you forgot shaolin monks also
Reptile was awesome back when he was a ninja, he got ruined after they turned him into a lizard
He was a lizard since the beginning. He could pull his face off and spit acid. And eat people's heads off.
Evan Snoes I know, but he was better in his human/ninja form, it would have been good if his true form was a giant reptilian monster and that he uses his human form when he fights in the MK tournaments. His MK4 design for example looks terrible
Reptile MK X you can get the classic skin 4 reptile in mk9

This is one of the best game I've played in my life. I mean the retro outfits are just awsome.
IT'S JUST BEAST!!!!!!!!
it's still my favourite MK and one of the best tournament fighters ever.
Dn fw fw block. Pit fatality.
This was the mortal kombat game I never owned. I always felt like it was the best one though, after renting it tons of times.

Really black and white?
Are you a time traveler?

Mark zuckerburg
I can remember the days sitting around in the arcade for hours playing this
2:31 One of my favorite fatalities in this game.
ugh I miss that announcer
So much better than the tryhard steroid freak voice of modern MK. God I miss the overall atmosphere of the old games.
I miss getting the magazines as a kid and just studying the moves and looking at all the pictures. God i miss those days. The new mk just dont have the same feels
@@PetterNe ok boomer

The real Shao Kahn.
i miss the sound from MK2. its gone in all the other games :(
everything from the announcer, to the groans and screams, to the background noises.
Reptile is the man...he dud it all yo save the rest of his kind and live peaceful lives somewhere in outworld
Mk2 was and always will be my favorite title in the franchise.

I really liked the mk 2 reptile, I once heard a guy say he didn't like it.
11:42 Reptile just wanted to buy a Reptile doll for Mileena!
Mk2: Kang just do the dog barking in funny way
Mk3:he screamed
Mk2
Reptile vs Reptile in the forest is 10/10 comfy
Definitely my favorite character in MKII, Baraka was a close second! I swear I tried everything to uncover a secret about the floor moving on the board where he kills Sub-zero lol. SADLY, there was none.
Glad you made these MK old school playthroughs :D

The way he says 'Reptile' with a roll of his tongue. Just little sh*t like that that makes me love this game.
Reptile is my fav character

Hannah Lladoc your right I hate the first one
As a secrect character
Nah erron black is the coolest, keep ur nostalgic goggles on if u wanna but meh

Finally someone that is good at mortal kombat well done
3:20 was waiting for the uh woh but it never came :(

@8:30 where the hell is the floor going?
Reptile is my favorite character🐸🦎
@Doo0ne is the arcade 3.1 revision version.
one of the most famous character of all time is Reptile MK1 and MK2
All the ninjas in mk are all my favorite characters
6:27 Anyone else think the Reptile double looks WAY too much like the real one? How's the player supposed to keep track of which one is which?
@BBSroll it all depends on your CPU, an old sinlge core 3Ghz processor should be able to run it in Mame smoothly.
Turning invisible against the CPU is kinda weird, since you'd think the CPU would know where you are! 😂
Reptile PEACEFUL existence. He was a good guy.
and(sorry for asking again) but the quality of your playing is great what version of mame are you using? qhat config didi you used?
What a awesome character
@jaknak07 Well its worth the quality of a 16 minute fullscreen raw capturing - after rendering the video size is just a couple hundred MBs ; )
Ah, the days before mileena was stupidly OP
@jaknak07 Fraps, but it tends to slow donw mame from time to time. The raw files of the recording exceeded 50 GIG - yay!
@Cage820 Glad you liked it!
He's my favorite mk II character, how many playthroughs did you have to do?
I miss this
Who noticed that other Reptile is using different standing? Like Subzero
Heaven N7 Yeah, and the same thing happens with Mileena, she occasionally switches to Kitana's stance after being hit. A glitch in MK2 or Mame?
its funny actually. idk 'bout that bug
Excellent the exhibition, the show;
Ahh man you couldn't pull off the acid bath stage fatality. That Flawless on Kintaro near the end was amazing though. Well done.
I have played on keyboard and you just cant do it that way - windows can't handle having two buttons pressed down at the same time (LP,LK) and then pressing a third one (HP) plus the directional keys... thats pretty much why you rarely see Acid bath fatality on my videos.
@SoulSnatching How do I make my mame run smooth my game is very glitchy... btw i like the filter u sent me a while back ago i can really tell the difference right away smooth and crisper.
Ugh. :-) such a Klassic game..aahhhhh good times
4:17-4:20 lmao 😂
Um dos melhores personagens

I can only make it to Shang Tsung as Reptile.. then Shang Tsung predicts every move I do.

It’s something about this Character Select Screen
God, Kintaro was and still is the worst.

He really is, Goro was awesome but this guy is completely forgettable.
Reptile As Antwan Holmes April 1st
I wish they had a better CPU for this one. I hate winning by making the CPU jump.
On the SNES version CPUs like Baraka and Jax that can't teleport/slide/leap/roll/etc. completely freak out when spammed with Raiden's lightning, just jumping all the time
Reptile was the coolest ninja, no idea why they changed him into a lizard and never had him disguised as a ninja anymore. Like why didn't they turn scorpion into a flaming skeleton considering that's literally what he is lol
He never was human (fully) to begin with - his race was race of raptor warriors to begin with. His human look is a disguise, more or less.
I liked Reptile when he was a reptilian wearing a human suit. The best rendition of him without it was MK 4. When they started making him less likely to be able to wear a "human suit" by giving him some kind of dinosaur head I was not feeling that.
How did you record mame with fraps. When I do it I lose half of the frames and it becomes unplayable.
I'm pretty sure he's on mk arcade kollection which is on xbox 360 and ps3 so its definitely in pc maybe on steam not sure
Reptile 👊🏾
Já joguei muito,tempo bom.
Reptile es mi favorito
Feel the power of Shao Khan!
At 14:08 Shao starts say that, "feel the power..." then Reptile high kicks in the face HAHAHAHAHA
