OK guys, ever since the MKT stream last week many players have been asking why we don't play on the PS version of MKT, or what the differences are between the N64 version and the PC version. I'm making this thread to show what the differences are between both versions. Also if I may have forgotten a couple of differences or tidbits, feel free to post them and enlighten me!
N64 = Nintendo 64
PS = Playstation
N64 version VS PS version
Mortal Kombat Trilogy (N64 Version) - plays nothing like UMK3 and acts like it's own unique game instead.
- The "fastest version" of Trilogy
- No load times
- crouching attacks (cr.HK, cr.LP, and cr.LK) are double the speed from UMK3
- crouching attacks (cr.HK, cr.LP, and cr.LK) are a LOT faster than MKT on PS
- Standing HKs and LKs are generally faster than MKT on PS
- Sweeps are generally faster than MKT on PS and grant a sweep check on hit
- Combo string attacks can be done on whiff while in "combo string" range
- Unmasked Sub-Zero is not available
- Sub-Zero is better than PS version (he is given Unmasked Sub-Zero's Ice Clone and three different Ice Showers)
- Noob Saibot's Clone Throw is better than PS version
- Nightwolf's Shoulder Ram has less recovery on whiff than PS version
- Ermac's Disappear has less cooldown than on PS version
- Kano is better than PS version (Pyscho Ball is a lot faster and travels more)
- Scorpion is better than PS version (Forward & Backward Teleport have less cooldown)
- Cyrax is better than PS version (Green Net is better)

- Jax is better than PS version (Dash Punch is better)
- Stryker is better than PS version (Baton Trip is better)
- Johnny Cage is better than PS version (HK has double the range)
- Sheeva is better than PS version (Teleport Stomp is better)

- Raiden does more damage than PS version (faster teleport and HK,HK,LK,B+HK string doesn't knock opponents full-screen)
- Shang Tsung can morph into anyone from the default character select screen in-game (no morph limits)
- Exclusive character Khameleon is playable
- Exclusive 3 on 3 Kombat is available
Mortal Kombat Trilogy (PS Version) - plays a lot similar to UMK3 with very minor differences.
- Rain is better than N64 version (Lightning from Above is better)

- Nightwolf's Shoulder Ram has less start-up than N64 version
- Ermac does more damage than N64 version
- Raiden has less recovery on his Lightning Blast from Behind Projectile than N64 version
- Gameplay is a LOT more similar to UMK3 (in a sense that the speed difference is not too drastic [slower] and normals outside of jabs are not too great)

- Shang Tsung can morph into bosses and Klassic characters
- Exclusive character Chameleon is playable
