Uncle at Nintendo posted:2 was good but 3 was better. What didn't you like? The combos weren't ridiculous and running was gimmicky but I literally never used it I honestly don’t see how MK3 is considered better in anyway. The combo/run button really screwed up the gameplay. Mortal Kombat game play differed from other fighters at the time by being pretty easy to get into and allowing random kids to pick it up at the arcade and have a good time. Sure SF and to a lesser extent the SNK fighters were better fighting games but the early MK games were more fun. Plus they got rid of a lot of the popular characters and replaced them with forgettable new ones (no Scorpion, Kitana/Mileena, Cage, Raiden for MK icons like Nightwolf, Sheeva, Stryker, unmasked Sub Zero). I remember the fatalities being a lot cheesier in 3 as well. 3 is good but it was a step down from 2. I vaguely recall there was some contract dispute with a few of the actors after 2, so Ed Boon got rid of them and started fresh. Shang Tsung, Sonya, and Liu Kang are all different actors in 3.

I only really played 1 and 2 on the Genesis, which I liked better than the SNES honestly. Except for some TMNT game. Turtles in Time I believe. That version was better on the SNES. Sub Zero was my favorite in 1 and Baraka in 2. In the early 2000s there was a game with a blind dude in it and I was a huge party pooper because I'd hang out at my friend's and we'd all get high and play and no one could beat me with that dude. Not sure which version that was.

My favourite part of the first MK movie was when the unseen announcer was like "reptile" and then reptile appeared and just started beating the poo poo out of the protagonist for a few minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9iFfwUps5k also every scene with christopher lambert

But yeah, I know most fans of the series see MK2 as the best. I just loved UMK3 so much.

Yeah UMK3 is a pretty big improvement and I’d put on par with MK2, depending on how you feel about the combo system. MK3 itself is kind of bad. OMGVBFLOL posted:imagine having strong opinions about mortal combat Meh. Imagine having opinions on literally any game. Or comic book. Or anything.

Yeah, it's weird that all it had to really do was add all the ninjas back (and then some), but there really is a huge difference between Mortal Kombat 3 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Like Mortal Kombat 3 isn't as good as Mortal Kombat II, but I'd put Ultimate MK3 a step above MKII. Is it just me or did they do a really, really thorough job of replacing all the Mortal Kombat 3 arcade units with Ultimate MK3? Like I literally never saw another vanilla Mortal Kombat 3 arcade machine ever again once Ultimate was introduced.

Urban legend has it that they killed off Johnny Cage in the Mortal Kombat 3 backstory as payback because the model who played him appeared in an ad endorsing the knockoff fighting game "Bloodstorm".

Sadly, mortal kombat was always a game that required minor skill at the most. It was an arcade game that lived off of random poo poo like finishing moves than anything that actually became competitive. Come back when street fighter 2 is 25 years old eh, Miss?

That would explain Cage for sure, but they also got rid of the guy who played the ninjas, Raiden, Liu Kang, Shang Tsung, and Sonya (maybe Kano? I don’t give a gently caress enough about Kano to care). It’s really a head scratcher on their parts. Sub Zero, Scorpion, and Raiden were without a doubt some of the most popular characters. And those would have probably been the easiest to replace. Yet they kept Liu Kang and switched actors. Who gives a gently caress about Liu Kang

Mortal Kombat the film holds up really well. There's a clear plot, and everything gets laid out right at the begining. This is Sonya Blade, she's after Kano; this is Liu Kang, he's after Shang Tsung; this is Johnny Cage, he's out for fame; Scorpion and Sub-Zero are Shang Tsung's soldiers, Raiden is the leader of the good guys, Kitana is just kinda there, now that all the characters are established everyone can just roll out and have fights and we've got some clear throughlines to the end of the film. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation just kind of assumes that you know who the characters are and that when they show up they don't need any introduction, they can just start fighting and it's fine. Cyrax and Sektor bust in through a wall and then they fight Jax and Sonya and that's the whole scene. Nightwolf shows up and tells Liu Kang to do something and then is gone from the rest of the film, Jade shows up, becomes friends with Liu Kang, betrays Liu Kang or something, and then gets beat by... maybe Kitana? Probably? and characters just keep popping in and out of the film without any consequence and it's just a bunch of poorly choreographed fight scenes with no glue in between them building up to some real D-level 90s CGI in the final fight. They're both on Netflix, watch them back to back.

I saw the first Mortal Kombat in theaters. I remember it was the first movie I saw with digital sound. That was a change. To me it was ear piercing, but I liked it. I could hear a lot of the tiny stuff that would have been softened out a bit (which is arguable if it's better or not). Everything is digital now. Even the movies. I worked at a movie theater and we had the big reels and everything. Now they put in a disc just like a Blu Ray or something. Crazy times we live in.
