That's what happens when you use cheats to force a secret character to appear at the beginning of EVERY round. Normally it's very rare for that to happen, and it's specifically coded not to occur during secret character battles for this very reason.
I like the classic 2D-MK's - I'm not interrested in all the new ones with superb 3D-polygon-graphics but very different gameplay - for me, this is no real Mortal Kombat anymore! MK 1,2,3,3 Ultimate, Trilogy and 4 are the best MK's!
kloopon You can avoid most of the throws if you do, say, a sweep kick or a roundhouse kick, from a certain distance away. They will instantly throw you if you’re right next to them, so you have to be outside the range of where throwing is possible to land a hit. As for uppercutting, the key is in the timing. It doesn’t work all the time, but more often than not I can land an uppercut on the wakeup after being knocked down by holding down for just the right amount of time. If you uppercut too early, they’ll duck and uppercut you instead; if you wait a fraction of a second too late, they’ll throw you for crouching while too near to them. The timing must be extremely precise.
kloopon The one I hate the most is when they throw you into a corner. It’s bad enough when they throw you, but then they trap you in the corner with the jump kicks. You can’t attack, jump away, or do anything till the ai decides to throw you back out again, and by the time it does you’re already dead or so low on life you stand no chance of winning. It’s completely inescapable and even more bullshit than the normal bullshit this game’s ai gives.
Long nights on Super Nintendo playing this game as a kid. My spot, friends' cribs... Then at ToysRus on the free Sega Genesis n SNES set-ups at the mall, or sometimes at the skating rink arcade. It was a bit of an unhealthy obsession. Favorite game series to this day. Looking forward to MK11 in April.
Indeed. There were rumors that Chun Li would have been in MK and she was obtainable with a special input code. However, just like the ERMAC rumor, this never happened. Unlike the ERMAC rumor, she would NEVER appear in any MK, not even as a lookalike or cameo...
Nah, its just a hint how to get to Jade. You have to win a fight only using kick button. And Chun Li was famous for her kicks. Its kind of a dumb hint, but actually that counts for all hints in the game i guess.
@@juliobrian4757 I remember hearing a rumor that you could climb on Vega's fence with Blanka. Probably just from some random kid though back in the day.
That whirlwind to double jump kick is devastating. Kung Lao is probably the most underrated character in the series. Did he have teleport in this game?
I've seen this before. After the round starts, both Reptile and Scorpion standing animations reverts to Sub Zero one. Also happens with Millena, who use Kitana's.
Jade's "Chun Who?" remark is especially funny with the recent movie reboot trailer release, and that terrible "journalists" article bemoaning the lack of a certain Street Fighter character.
You know, back in the day when I played this and Streetfighter I noticed that if you put the dificulty settings 1 lower of the max setting its quite harder. Because on the hardest you can 99% predict what the enemy fighter will do. 1 setting lower and it has a random other style vs you.
Is it possible to apply the decapitation fatality with Kung Lao and still get to fight Jade? What about that restriction of winning the round with low kick only?!
Maybe a little reference to Chun-Li from Street fighter II arcade that was released in 1991, in the meantime Mortal Kombat II arcade was released in 1993.
Just Midway's shout out to Capcom. While North Americans considered the rivalry between Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, Capcom never saw this as a true rivalry at all, considering SNK (Fatal Fury, The King of Fighters) as their main rival at the time.
The hat throw fatality was the last one I ever did. It was next to impossible for me to get the timing right on the up press. I probably tried it at least 20 times before getting it.
Can you tell me the exact time you input the 2nd air kick after doing the 1st one? I can NEVER get Kung Lao to do the 2nd air kick. I’ll set up the AI, jump towards them, do the spin move, pop them up, jump and do the 1st air kick then when I input the down-high kick to do the 2nd kick he won’t ever do it and it really irritates me. Can you tell me when you input it?
It was kind of funny how Jade appeared and said "One day we will fight" when Kung Lao actually WAS fighting her.
So technically, she was correct.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! in sense she was right... LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So ironic

That was her twin
Ah the memories of playing this game at the local arcade after school back in 1994.
Remember putting your quarter up on the ledge to indicate you got next ? Shit was awesome
That was a special landscape, now encapsulated in time.
Easier days
@@eric6242 yep that was the way
Brings back memories
"Feel the wrath of Shao OWWW"
Littlun17 XDD
Or you could say “ShaOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!”
😂😂
haha !
20:07 since this fucker decided not to add a timestamp
2:14 Still the all-time best fatality
The most brutal one by far.
"Feel the wrath of Shao Kahn!" *walks right into Kung Lao's s Whirlwind spin, sends him flying up in the air*
Lol, hilarious!
Matthew Jones
The idiot's version of Shao Kahn :P
Aww, a Friendship for Kitana. That's so incredibly sweet.
BigBrotherMateyka He did one for Milleena as well
@@jarmalporter1832 nigga probably got a threesome for that.
@@mathiaskanuck6759 Kitana ok, but i don´t think he wants a bj from Milleena xD
I was always nice to Kitana too
Kung Lao and Kitana are always friends
Shao Khan: "FEEL THE WRATH OF SHAO KHAN!"
Kung Lao: *spins*
sound design and music was just sinister on the first MK games, still gives me goosebumps
I feel like 2 & 3 especially. And okay, yeah... 1 too.
I still feel like this is the darkest, most atmospheric MK game. I love it!
Kira Yoshikage yeah I agree it really is

🌴😱🌴
I love the sound of Kung Lao's hat being thrown. Amazeballs.
How stupid is Shao Khan to keep walking into Kung Lao's whirlwind spin?
Jake Kaufman 😂
ai lolo
Jake Kaufman All Braun n, no brain. Like A total bodybuilder ;D
Their playing on easy
@@rodneyshaw5404 not really... that jumping into the enemy glitch only working in very hard mode
Mk2 was the best one to me especially when they had it at the arcades turned all the way up💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Kung Lao's theme song to Shao Kahn:
You spin me right round, baby
; right round like a record, baby. Right round round round!!!
I remember the crowd of people always around this in the arcade. Good times!
Me too 💯💯👏🏿👏🏿🥋🥋 I miss the 90s
Shao Kahn says "prepare to die" then immediately gets his ass handed to him and then explodes into tiny pieces lol
Clarence Boddicker do you still not like cops?
They messed up big time on developing the characters lol. Khan just keeps walking into the spin move lol.
Am I the only one that always like getting flawless victory just to hear that bad ass beat? At 19:53 when he beats SHAO KAHN flawless.
5:25 lol that tree likes what he sees
kidecchi Did you see the dude stuck by the tree?
Show me what you got !
or maybe her smelled her fart
He got a woody
That explains the growling after seeing that badonkey donk
15:46 Jade: "one day we will fight"
Kung Lao: "yeah but...aren´t we fighting already?"
Jade: "ops...sorry, let´s rock!"
"Chun who?" The subliminals to SF2 😂
I really hate when AI can easily evade uppercut and counter it with another uppercut
This is considered the worst AI ever in a game of its genre. The AI in this video is even "doctored" to the point of absurd.
kloopon i either get thrown or uppercutted all the time!
The one I hate is the hair-pin projectile duck followed by a high-damage attack while you’re still vulnerable in those animation frames.
kloopon You can avoid most of the throws if you do, say, a sweep kick or a roundhouse kick, from a certain distance away. They will instantly throw you if you’re right next to them, so you have to be outside the range of where throwing is possible to land a hit. As for uppercutting, the key is in the timing.

Shao Kahn: Feel the wrath of Shao Kahn! OW! Hey, cut that out! OW! C'mon! Fight me like a man! OW!
Cowardly victory. Cheese wins.
Shao kan es todo un líder poderoso.
Love the “Flawless victory” sound
Such wonderful memories from this game..I made my lil brothers cry back in the day..hell I can still make'em cry today and they are 18 yrs old,ha!
Did you wvwr get reptile in the game ?
BABALITY

I played this game so much as a 12 and 13 year old in 1994 and early 1995.
Love hearing stories like this!!
Now you are looking forward to MK12 in 2023.
Same.. MK1 and MK2 are gems 💎 ✨️
2019 and still love it MK2
Same 💯
Scorpion finally connects a hook after uppercutting, after like 50 misses xD
The friendship fatality had me rolling lol
The commentor sounds Amazing!!! Not like the new ones!!
My favorite is when Jade and Smoke peep from the trees being nosy😂😂
Half the hints from both Smoke and Jade are the exact same and a good majority of them don't even remotely hint on how to find them!
"Chun who?" must be a Street Fighter II jab, since it is the greatest rival to Mortal Kombat series.

Jade while fighting: " dam time remnants "
I didn't realize how good the visuals are in mk2
The visuals in your profile pic are pretty good too.
Smoke was the most badass character...until Nightwolf showed up
Oh the days of digitized graphics.
Anyone remember Pit Fighter? 🙂
Rafael Alonzo Yes; but not enough good than this.
TaeKwonDo, Kung Fu, and the Wrestler. 😂
"im fit!"
Memories
Kung lao's "character selection screen pic" looks like clint eastwood
I used to call him the Chinese cowboy when I first started playing MK2
That whirlwind to double jump kick is devastating. Kung Lao is probably the most underrated character in the series. Did he have teleport in this game?
Yeah He can teleport in this game
Agreed 💯 after watching this game play with the whirlwind and double kicking how much LIFE it took off... he's my new favorite on MK2 👏🏿👏🏿🥋🥋
I don't know you, but I found the fight with Shao Kahn hilarious.
Makes you wonder how he got so powerful.
I have this on PS3 and Kintaro raped my very soul.
Kintaro is NOT that hard
Any tips?
itsddashrock Jump and kick but go over his uppercut
itsddashrock I might sound confusing but it's hard to explain
orestes samolis Thanks. I'll give it a whirl if I can make it past the ladder. The last time I played I couldn't beat Tsung.
Those trolling messages from Smoke and Jade. >_
MegaPhilX And this is before trolling was really a thing
Not like trolling they can be challenged
I am so glad that this costume is finally, FINALLY coming back in MK1.
20:07 feel the wrath of Shao OW! XDDD
Feel the wrath of-- Toasty!
I just realised how fucking haunting Shao Kahns arenas theme is.
Yeah it's terrifying, menacing, like the final moments before death in the " most dangerous game".
Sorry, can't hear it over the sound of Kung Lao doing his best Michael Jackson impression
Hehe. Shao Kahn is like: "Prepare to die!". And then fails miserable. xD
Domovoy pls That explains why he took that cheap shot in MK9.
Shao Kahn vs Kung Lao:
"You will die mortal"
"Round 1... Fight!"
Kung Lao: "LET IT RIP!!!!!"
Kung lao is my favorite character
7:37 Chun Who?
It’s that a reference to Chun Li?
I think it’s one of the developers in the credits.
yes it is (performing kicks)
Me encanta Kung Lao
I've seen this before. After the round starts, both Reptile and Scorpion standing animations reverts to Sub Zero one. Also happens with Millena, who use Kitana's.
That battle with Jade at 15:15 was epic you should've won that round with the hat toss at the end!
this is late, but you cant. projectiles go straight through her in this game
Jade's "Chun Who?" remark is especially funny with the recent movie reboot trailer release, and that terrible "journalists" article bemoaning the lack of a certain Street Fighter character.
I love your vids
The music is siiiick!! Loving the gongs after the music
This exact video introduced me to mortalkombat
Best Mortal Kombat of all time.
This Kung lao's costume >>>>>
"stop spinning around in circles" says Shao Kahn!
12:50 *HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Lol Kung Lao Ice!!!*
The battle with scorpion was remarkable
Nobody
Kung Lao: *I’ll Try Spinning That’s A Good Trick*
Friendship with Mileena 😍
That fatality he did to raiden when I play this 25 cents in the arcade when I was 9 is what drawn me to the MK series & I never look back.
I like how the music sounds when the mk dragon symbols appeared across screen when you get perfects
wow, never realised that spin, jump kick, dive kick combo did so much damage.
No wonder kung lao was high tier back in mk2.
You know, back in the day when I played this and Streetfighter I noticed that if you put the dificulty settings 1 lower of the max setting its quite harder.
Because on the hardest you can 99% predict what the enemy fighter will do. 1 setting lower and it has a random other style vs you.
No fatalities on women. In MK men are real men. Thumbs up.
Simply Outstading MK2 Best!
Aside from Killer Instinct, MK2 was one of thee LOUDEST games in the arcade...
🔊📢📢📢 🎶🎵🎶 😳😵🤯
When I first play this game and I saw Baraka he used to scared of shit out of me when I was a kid
I watched this when i was a kid and im watchit now 😍
16:53 4 hit combo!
That was a bad ass fight with kung Lao and jade
His fight with Shao Kahn, is how I feel, going through every relationship I've been in. Think you learned a lesson, but nope. Lol
Hear, hear.
You are the Kung Lao.... hats off brother!!
