Every few months or so, I come back to this channel and re-binge the whole MK series. There is something undescribebly cozy about the whole atmosphere.
Takes me back to about 1996 or 1997 for me, my dad had a Sega Genesis during that time and I was around 5 or 6 years old, I started out on Mortal Kombat 3 but later on we got number 2 as well, was so much fun back then, I just think life in general back then was so much better, now the times have really changed, not so cozy anymore for sure.
Unless you lived through this, I don’t think people will understand how huge this game was and how mind blowing it looked at the time. Great member-berries...
I remember drawing the ninjas over and over again because they were so cool to me. I would cut the drawings out and make my own figures so they could fight lol. This was before you could just go online and buy whatever you wanted or read up on stuff. Good times when games still had mystery
@@darkjak224 I remember goin to electronics boutique game store peekin at the game mags for cheats, I use to get kicked out all the time as a kid, and I never took a pen to jot them down, the amount of times I got back and forgot them😂
@@darkjak224 loved the 90s, games nowdays don't come close to the feels I got back then, I generally play emulators now when am bored, I miss those times.
nope. Mileena her roll attacks are very effective and you can spam it! I always win with Mileena. You also have to time your jump attacks. All will react the same ;-)
There's such a sense of familiarity and good energy about them. It's freezing outside right now and I'm having a blast rewatching these coiled up in my bed.
These videos never fail to entertain I absolutely died at 35:50 lmao. I thought he was finally gonna get it, he was neck and neck with Raiden each with one hit left, then Raiden comes outta nowhere with a bs torpedo and ends it. Priceless reaction
Man you're the part of so many people's childhoods. Just look at how many people keep coming back to this video after all those years, you made so many people's lives better by making those videos that you probably thought no one would enjoy when you were making them lol. dude YOU ROCK
@@edwardpark1413it’s raw bro the rage and his swearing is really accurate to the average player, not these other bs play throughs you see where they don’t die or even talk and they win every match in a row and cut the bad matches out not this guy tho, that’s fucken why airhead muthfuka😂
As much as I love this game, the AI is beyond cheap. They always seem to know exactly what you're going to do and always seem to know the perfect way to counter all of your moves.
Mario The Red Wildfire / Luigi the Green Thunder it actually was programmed that way so just say u used all the best moves and techniques with lui kang by the time you go to kintaro ai already knew your tricks
Mario The Red Wildfire / Luigi the Green Thunder the ai reads your inputs as you hit the buttons instead of reacting to whats happening on the screen, if you do a frame breakdown within 3 frames of pulling off a move the ai is already countering you
Y0mAMa5957 you and i both never clocked it got to the 2nd last gora character and got my ass handed to me everytime game over. many years later watch someone spam the same boss with jax and raged cause jax is aids
Most definitely, this is the most difficult game in the franchise. MK2 forces you to master dogging, blocking, and counterattacks bc the CPU will abuse that throw move unless you roundhouse kick them. They will dodge nearly every attack you give them unless you manage to catch them off guard, which is what they are very likely to do to you. Now almost all the other mortal kombat games have these challenging features, but they are not as merciless as MK2. I have been studying how the CPU works in this game. I speculate that bc this was the most favored MK game at the time, midway designed it to vacuum up all your quarters into the arcade machine (like you mentioned in the beginning of the video). This game requires you to not only know what you are doing as far as basic and special moves. But it also requires you to critically strategize how you fight your opponent bc the CPU is so damn brutal. This is where MK2 and the OG MK differ. When the game forces you to develop serious strategies, it strains the player from being able to just drop kick or uppercut your opponent with at least some ease. MK2 doesn’t even have nearly enough freedom on how you fight your opponent as supposed to it’s predecessor, causing MK2 to reduce the fun factor especially for the casual players.
You can't really "master" dodging, blocking, or countering in this game. The AI cheats to get around your skills. The AI's frames are much faster than yours by default. You can't beat the game with skill. Every single playthrough I've ever seen of this game even the hardcore arcade game pros, the player uses some method of exploitation against the AI. It's the only way to win. Also, I don't think it makes much sense to say that the game was designed this way to suck up coins due to its favorability. The game was released this way, and there were only two games.
Here is what I discovered: Opponent on the bottom of the Kombat Plan + Stage Fatality stage = Medium. Opponent on the bottom of the Kombat Plan + normal stage = Easy. Opponent after the third or fourth character + Stage Fatality stage = Near impossible. Opponent after the third or fourth character + normal stage = Very Hard. Shang Tsung on stage fatality stage = Near Impossible. Shang Tsung on normal stage = Near Impossible. Kintaro = Very Hard. Shao Kahn = Very Hard. Ratings on difficulty: Easy = 1 Medium = 2 Hard = 3 Very Hard = 4 Near Impossible = 5 Difficulty of Mortal Kombat 2 Arcade: 30/40 stars.
Always the few first battles are easy.. later it's hard... but after losing 2x times with different character the AI suddenly gets easier to finish. Look at new Mortal Kombat titles... first 2 up to 3.. the AI difficulty is at low number. the further you go the higher number it will be. Same thing with old Mortal Kombat games... easy at beginning and harder later but easier again after being beat a few times. I'm sure they did on purpose to get more coins from people in arcade
Kintaro is suscpeitble to timed jumpkicks, you can literally jump kick him to death if you do it at a steady rate, not too slow, not too fast. Kahn is suspectible to straight kicks, he'll often walk right into them. He also tends to walk into Baraka's blades and Kitana's fanlift.
The AI clearly has extended invincibility frames and less recovery frames. Also some player's moves have reduced range. Like the roundhouse went straight through the AI's head yet nothing happened. It's all bullshit.
7 years late, but: forward jump kick, 2 steps backwards = AI just freezes and you can repeat it. Cheap way discovered in childhood. And cheapest trick of them all for MK2 - Baraka jump straight up+punch. His collision model actually changes so that AI will just get punched whenever they try to do anything.
I absolutely love this guy - his commentating for games is the best and I love his raw reactions. I wish I can be as good gamer as him! Thanks for all the videos MrGSTAR321!
A lot of people do. That's why fans were pissed when they cancelled the remasters of the first three games that were to have new motion capture actors and updated sprite work.
The grunting and groaning, i remember when i first played this was fortunate enough to play at the arcade in the bowling alley and literally everybody who went on it were feeling the rage at how disgustingly hard the AI was. Then i think a week later the place got burned down! 😂😂
I feel like if you knew how loved you truly are you would post an update video. Maybe you really just don't know how much people eagerly await your return. Your channel is literally the only one I have notifications on for.
I remember back when shaolin monks first came out I was really excited to find out I unlocked mk2 from finishing smokes challenges. I didn’t understand how different the AI was compared to the main game and got destroyed by the 4th match no matter who I picked but goddamn was it fun. I think Armageddon did something similar with mk3 but it was on 360
Been watching GStar's vids since 2016 and just got through watching this one on the 10th anniversary of its upload. He's without a doubt one of the my favorite content creators.
My memories of playing this game all came flooding back when I watched this. And man, it was so funny to watch. I can totally feel the frustration and get it. This is such a great game, but, man, the the AI is so lame.
52:19 word scramble in red and unscrambled is says ermac dose not exist beacuse rumors spread in mk1 when someone supposably found him by defeating his friend flawlessly using only punches.
Once you know how to exploit the AI this game is really fucking easy. I've managed to do a one credit run in very hard difficulty, even if it's cheap, it's just so satisfying after all the shit this game gave me through the years. So, for everyone who can't beat this game or has a hell of a time doing so, here's the key for the Arcade version. Just jump back from sweeping distance and the enemy will jump forward, leaving him or herself open to any attack. This really starts working from the 3rd opponent onwards, so besides Shao Kahn, the second enemy is the hardest. There are other tips though. Always try to duck and let the opponent come at you, then jump back, that way they can't use their projectiles. If you get cornered, duck and block, the enemy will throw you and get you off there, getting cornered is the worst you can do. Now for some character specific tips: -Against Sub-Zero, Reptile and Raiden, always block when you duck, Sub-Zero and Reptile's slide and Sub-Zero's freeze can hit you while you're ducking, I always duck against Raiden too, but I don't totally remember if his torpedo can hit you if you don't block. Mileena's roll attack can hit you too, but you shouldn't be ducking against her anyway. -Against Reptile always start the round with a flying kick, he likes opening at least one round with going invisible, you have to avoid that at all costs. Kung Lao, likes to open rounds with the teleport, duck as the round starts and when he teleports punish him with an uppercut. Jax is similar with his ground pound, so open with a flying kick against him, sometimes he opens with that wave attack he has, if you were fast to input, you can jump over it. Liu Kang may start with the bicycle kick, so always duck, if you time it right you can uppercut him. -You almost always want to be ducking, but against Cage is mandatory, he'll miss with his shadow kick and leave himself open for like ten million years for you to punish him with an uppercut. -Against Mileena and Liu Kang, abuse the fact they always "jump and shoot" when you do. Get close to them (but not so much they can throw you) and do a jumpkick, with a very early kick, that way, as they jump to counter your jump you'll manage to hit them before they can shoot, you can dispatch them very quickly. Mileena is more prone to fall for this than Liu Kang. -Jade is victim of the jump back abuse too, go for it and feel like a pro beating her. I haven't tested on Smoke or Noob, because Dan Forden's fucking face never appears in the Portal for me and I don't have the patience to unlock Noob. -Against Kintaro you have to jump towards him and do a late kick (almost when you're over his head). He'll swing and a miss with his uppercut and be totally open to take the kick. Sometimes it doesn't work and he'll kick your ass, but most of the time it does work. Always be ready for his stomp attack. If you manage to corner him, it can be a bit hard to get the correct distance to keep doing the jumpkicks, it's better to just back up, he'll most of the times just walk toward you without doing anything. -Against Shao Kahn, there are some tricks to beat him easily (like low kicking him all day), but none have really worked for me, so I developed (may not be the first one to think of this though) my own technique to beat him. Shao Kahn is a beast, thanks to his shoulder tackle he has the chance to just destroy you without letting you do anything. You have to follow his style, not letting him do anything, from a close distance, jump towards him with a very early kick, most of the times he'll block it, it doesn't matter, that still does damage and more importantly, keeps him from attacking you, whether he blocks it or not, just keep doing that, don't give him a second. Sometimes, I overshoot and end up jumping over him, if that happens to you, you have to the uppercut as soon as you land, Kahn 99.9% of the time will go for the tackle and you have a pretty good chance to counter it with the uppercut if you input at the right time (easier than it sounds).
MY PS3 NAME IS beswick I haven't done this on an actual Arcade, it's been quite a while since I've seen an MK2 arcade and I don't how I would fare on one since I'm used to playing with D-pads and personally hate sticks, especially for fighting games, also you can't be sure what difficulty it's set on, I usually play it through MAME, where I can manually select the difficulty, and I've also had the chance to beat it on this collection for the Xbox360.
I remember the day I beat the arcade version of this game. You have to combine the spamming techniques of of a three year old, the monotonous repeated patterns the computer uses and every ounce of concentration you have.
My favorite character was Kitana. Her combo was absolutely ridiculous. Fan twirl, jump kick into air fan throw, land and do the air punch. Almost 50% damage.
You can only make the CPU jump backwards if you choose certain characters. Others will cause them to throw a projectile. Picking these will cause them to jump after you: Kung Lao, Cage, any Ninja, Shang Tsung, Jax, Baraka Picking these will cause them to throw a fireball: Any female ninja, Liu Kang, Rayden

The grunting and groaning, i remember when i first played this was fortunate enough to play at the arcade in the bowling alley and literally everybody who went on it were feeling the rage at how disgustingly hard the AI was. Then i think a week later the place got burned down! 😂😂
I feel like if you knew how loved you truly are you would post an update video. Maybe you really just don't know how much people eagerly await your return. Your channel is literally the only one I have notifications on for.
I just relaized that he spent a huge chunk of the video fighting raiden
Raiden was hell
raiden: GIVEMEMAMONEY
KAMEHAMEHA
GETBACKINTHECA!
raiden: UR2SLOW
Ahhitsupsidedown
Lol 😁
Classic GStar. This is one of the best playthroughs you've ever done.
I remember back when shaolin monks first came out I was really excited to find out I unlocked mk2 from finishing smokes challenges. I didn’t understand how different the AI was compared to the main game and got destroyed by the 4th match no matter who I picked but goddamn was it fun. I think Armageddon did something similar with mk3 but it was on 360
43:48 Kintaro screams “FAAAAAACK!”
LOL hahahah😂
43:44 he also screams “JESUS!”
He's becoming so pissed that he's possessing his opponent
27:25 the let’s play truly begins.
Been watching GStar's vids since 2016 and just got through watching this one on the 10th anniversary of its upload. He's without a doubt one of the my favorite content creators.
I can barely beat the first level of this game, you should've seen how sweaty my controller was just to beat the first enemy. THE A.I IS PURE EVIL.
andre brewer You think? It's like trying to play dark souls blindfolded while the controllers upside down.
Here in 2021. This man still cures my depression.
Here it is December 21 2021 and this is like my 50th time watching this particular video love gstars mk videos
I love this dude but his rage sounds like he’s still trying to push out a shit after holding it for years
Its so nostalgic, still he beat it
Well, he *has* been doing this for years, so...
1:49 the presidential election 2016
I actually posted that in a fb status.
Lightmare X 😂😂😂
Lmao i legit said this
2̶0̶1̶6̶ every election every candidate
Trumps the best.
11:34 he goes super saiyan
Lmao SS3 on 'em Lol. He does that in all his vids when he's getting his ass kicked by the AI Lol Love his channel!
Thats my favorite part 😂
I don't think Gstar knows how funny he actually is! I crack up watching these vids with my gf. He's comedy gold
I do the same 😂 soo good.
My memories of playing this game all came flooding back when I watched this. And man, it was so funny to watch. I can totally feel the frustration and get it. This is such a great game, but, man, the the AI is so lame.
LMAO THE ANGER IN THIS VIDS THE BEST
I will have to say that Mortal Kombat 2 on Sega Genesis would literally make me go insane. Incredibly hard...
No its not When he Played MKT its alot more funnier and cringier
@@kinslayer1298
You obviously have access to the internet. You need to Google the definition and correct usage of "literally"
LMFIAO! He said the A.I. got pissed because he was doing too much damage to it. I nearly pissed my panties. Lol.
hahahaah your commentary and frustration is hilarious! I felt the struggle bro, keep it up lol
52:19 word scramble in red and unscrambled is says ermac dose not exist beacuse rumors spread in mk1 when someone supposably found him by defeating his friend flawlessly using only punches.
This guy cracks me up. I’m glad I found him. One of the best youtubers
Once you know how to exploit the AI this game is really fucking easy. I've managed to do a one credit run in very hard difficulty, even if it's cheap, it's just so satisfying after all the shit this game gave me through the years.
So, for everyone who can't beat this game or has a hell of a time doing so, here's the key for the Arcade version. Just jump back from sweeping distance and the enemy will jump forward, leaving him or herself open to any attack. This really starts working from the 3rd opponent onwards, so besides Shao Kahn, the second enemy is the hardest.
There are other tips though. Always try to duck and let the opponent come at you, then jump back, that way they can't use their projectiles. If you get cornered, duck and block, the enemy will throw you and get you off there, getting cornered is the worst you can do. Now for some character specific tips:
-Against Sub-Zero, Reptile and Raiden, always block when you duck, Sub-Zero and Reptile's slide and Sub-Zero's freeze can hit you while you're ducking, I always duck against Raiden too, but I don't totally remember if his torpedo can hit you if you don't block. Mileena's roll attack can hit you too, but you shouldn't be ducking against her anyway.
-Against Reptile always start the round with a flying kick, he likes opening at least one round with going invisible, you have to avoid that at all costs. Kung Lao, likes to open rounds with the teleport, duck as the round starts and when he teleports punish him with an uppercut. Jax is similar with his ground pound, so open with a flying kick against him, sometimes he opens with that wave attack he has, if you were fast to input, you can jump over it. Liu Kang may start with the bicycle kick, so always duck, if you time it right you can uppercut him.
-You almost always want to be ducking, but against Cage is mandatory, he'll miss with his shadow kick and leave himself open for like ten million years for you to punish him with an uppercut.
-Against Mileena and Liu Kang, abuse the fact they always "jump and shoot" when you do. Get close to them (but not so much they can throw you) and do a jumpkick, with a very early kick, that way, as they jump to counter your jump you'll manage to hit them before they can shoot, you can dispatch them very quickly. Mileena is more prone to fall for this than Liu Kang.
-Jade is victim of the jump back abuse too, go for it and feel like a pro beating her. I haven't tested on Smoke or Noob, because Dan Forden's fucking face never appears in the Portal for me and I don't have the patience to unlock Noob.
-Against Kintaro you have to jump towards him and do a late kick (almost when you're over his head). He'll swing and a miss with his uppercut and be totally open to take the kick. Sometimes it doesn't work and he'll kick your ass, but most of the time it does work. Always be ready for his stomp attack. If you manage to corner him, it can be a bit hard to get the correct distance to keep doing the jumpkicks, it's better to just back up, he'll most of the times just walk toward you without doing anything.
-Against Shao Kahn, there are some tricks to beat him easily (like low kicking him all day), but none have really worked for me, so I developed (may not be the first one to think of this though) my own technique to beat him. Shao Kahn is a beast, thanks to his shoulder tackle he has the chance to just destroy you without letting you do anything. You have to follow his style, not letting him do anything, from a close distance, jump towards him with a very early kick, most of the times he'll block it, it doesn't matter, that still does damage and more importantly, keeps him from attacking you, whether he blocks it or not, just keep doing that, don't give him a second. Sometimes, I overshoot and end up jumping over him, if that happens to you, you have to the uppercut as soon as you land, Kahn 99.9% of the time will go for the tackle and you have a pretty good chance to counter it with the uppercut if you input at the right time (easier than it sounds).
Dude thank you so much for the tips, what country are you from since you played on a arcade? I'm from england, never seen one so far.
MY PS3 NAME IS beswick I haven't done this on an actual Arcade, it's been quite a while since I've seen an MK2 arcade and I don't how I would fare on one since I'm used to playing with D-pads and personally hate sticks, especially for fighting games, also you can't be sure what difficulty it's set on, I usually play it through MAME, where I can manually select the difficulty, and I've also had the chance to beat it on this collection for the Xbox360.
The Goat I have beaten the game seven times now, five on my PSP and two on my ps3. What country are you from?
Yeah, I`ve managed to even flawless victory Noob Saibot with the jump back technique
Expert analysis
I remember the day I beat the arcade version of this game. You have to combine the spamming techniques of of a three year old, the monotonous repeated patterns the computer uses and every ounce of concentration you have.
His mini-rages are hilarious. Sounds like he's getting strangled
He needs to come back and make videos again
These rage screams are exactly what my parents heard when me and my brothers played this game on sega genesis lmfao
i understand his rage... i use to feel it everyday...
0:00 - 54:11 you see a wild GSTAR321 in its normal habitat XD
NathanThatAsian fuck you
NathanThatAsian that’s not even funny
@@rekius328 a bad joke
Attom70 get out cancerous piece of shit
Why is everyone crying over this post?
"It doesn't matter who you pick, you're gonna get fucked up either ways" 😂😂 I love this guy
"Wait, what just happened? Oh..I'm dead. Ok." Lol
21:34 (For future reference)
Still here in 2024
14:16-14:24 I died laughing. 😂
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fA@!Ack
TheLNashProject me too bro 😁😁😁😁 hilarious
Reminds me of AVGN lol
*starts the game* "It doesn't really matter who you pick you gonna get fucked up either way"
That's the spirit :)
"You wanna cheap me I'll fuckin' cheap you"
Cheap is now a verb.
The way he says fuuuuck at 11:23 has me in hysterics 🤣🤣
25:59 That rage made me die laughing
I remember the MK2 arcade being found in many convenience stores :) The game was immensely popular in its prime
My favorite character was Kitana. Her combo was absolutely ridiculous. Fan twirl, jump kick into air fan throw, land and do the air punch. Almost 50% damage.
Yep. I don't understand why anyone would refuse to play as Kitana simply because she's a chick. She's an awesome character.
These are so entertaining. Your classic quotes never fail to make me laugh 😂
"Captain Crusade I don't know" that got to be one of the most "I don't give a single fuck about super heroes" phrases out there haha
“ i got reptile he shouldn’t be too hard” 😂 😂 got that butt whooped
You can only make the CPU jump backwards if you choose certain characters. Others will cause them to throw a projectile.
Picking these will cause them to jump after you:
Kung Lao, Cage, any Ninja, Shang Tsung, Jax, Baraka
Picking these will cause them to throw a fireball:
Any female ninja, Liu Kang, Rayden
what about scorpion
"any ninja"
that include reptile scorpion subzero and smoke.
Dude that accent made this video. "This is fucked." One of my favorite quotes of the whole video. Me and my co-workers love watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
GSTAR if you're reading this, we miss ya pal
What happened to him
@@claymack1109 Too busy at his work. He simply didn't have time for YT anymore 😔
This bring backs old memories of 2016 I hope you're still all right my Aussie buddy
39:54-39:58 I can't breathe! 😂
