Originally intended to be a Van Damme game and Street Fighter inspired, here's the history of MK

[STORMS]

In a very interesting episode of G4 Icons, Mortal Kombat is discussed and from the roots. If you ever wanted to know some facts of Mortal Kombat's birth from the developers themselves, this is your video. Learn how Mortal Kombat came to be with John Tobias and Ed Boon behind it all. In addition to this you'll learn how every character in the first game was created and what their inspiration was.

Boon explains that Scorpion and Sub-Zero were two of the last characters designed in the game and why they're simply a palette swap. This episode takes you deep in to the series including the movies... it is an awesome watch!

great video! I so hope MK10 is 2d same as MK9 just better and more balanced, maybe they show something at E3?

For one, the combos aren't that hard. Secondly, he IS talking about the strings.

Idk but a new MK movie is needed like right now, lol MK legacy series should at least be on AMC. B/c its just a pain in the ass to search for it on youtube.

I wish it was more current so we could get more info on their point of view with them going bankrupt , WB partnership, MK9 and some hints on MK10 dammit

But we were talking about the first statement. That he said. And if you're going to quote someone, quote it well.

dude YOU said "the combos arent hard." thats your own thought that you expressed independently from the video. i feel like im being sucked into a web of bullshit.

 

[miloPKL]

For one, the combos aren't that hard. Secondly, he bla bla bla Im enuma elish with the gayest name.

See heres you not quoting anyone, expressing individual thought about yourself dummy.

 

[Killphil]

Who cares what he's talking about. It's Geoff Kailey, not exactly the buddah of gaming. Isn't he the 'power up with doritos and mountain dew' guy?

Konquest mode was unplayable on that version ugh... how the hell do you rotate the camera with no R-stick? Kitana in the roster is an instant buy though ^_^

 

[Nivek]

the thing i hated the most in early mk games is the lack of command list!!! that was the most furstrating thing!! other than that just epic games!!

 

[Minh Giang]

umk3 > overrated mario kart 9.

Word?!

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Man I miss MKD

 

[John Grizzly]

So...Mortal Kombat 3 was "a bit of a letdown" because of the complicated combo system?

Fuck outta here.

By the way, to echo someone above, that dude in this video isn't talking about some of the harder juggles, he's referring to simple "dial-a-combos" like Sub-Zero's HP,HP,LP,LK,HK,B+HK. I love how articles/videos put together like this often take one moron's opinion and just make it sound like that was the consensus.
