I remember watching my older brother playing this game with his favorite character Sub-zero at the laundromat & a crowd gather because nobody had ever seen sum1 defeat Goro & passing the game. The crowd was cheering him on & as a 11 year old I felt so proud 🤣🤣 RiP bro it's been 10 years since u passed..thx for the memories, 1 day will see each other again

I remember the Arcade Game of MK1 was at our local Wal Mart. When parents are checking out, My brothers we would always go to the Arcade and play MK1. Whenever we go to the laundromat, there was Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, instead of helping we always go there to play. When Mortal Kombat 4 came out at the Arcade at our local mall, we would spend most of our time there playing MK4 while my parents are out shopping.

I remember the first time seeing Mortal Kombat. It was 1992 at a bowling alley here. I was amazed by this game, because there was nothing else like it at the time. There was an older kid playing it and he knew all of the special moves and fatalities. There was a huge crowd of people gathering to watch him rip off heads with spines still attached, and shock an enemy with lightning until their head explodes. Good stuff. Haha!!

I picked Johnny Cage for some reason and from button mashing I did his special kick and won the first round. But then the other dude started trying and he beat me. But winning that round was the highlight of the day for me. Eventually I got the game for NES and learned all the special moves. Which isn't saying much cuz they were all relatively easy to do.

You change to reptile stage that was basically scorpion and subzero merged. He can perform both of their powers and was extremely fast. But very simple to defeat. By the way Santa appear in the moon every five games. So was not possible to have reptile in every game, I was waiting and counting other boys until was time for the fifth game.

Yeah, from the first three, MK1 is my favorite because of it's dread and ominous mood. When I first saw it, I was shocked with the "realism" of the violence. The fighters all seem bad guys, as they were into murder a defenseless opponent. The sound was totally creepy, as it was the agony screams. You could hear the agony of a fighter being killed in your head long after you've played. And being murdering or not an opponent, a choice of the player, it added a lot in the disturbing effect. In MKII, things got tuned down, with "toasty" screams, babalities and friendships. The violence was also changed into something parodic through excess. I mean, look at the roundhouse kick in MK1 - it's brutal, you felt as you had broken the jaw of the enemy. On MKII in just throw the guy flying into the other side of the arena, as he was made of plastic. Also, in the first one, tha fatality of Scorpion left just the charred skeleton of the victim on her kness, while in MKII people are exploding all around, which was funnier than scarier.

i was 12 or 13 when this game came out... and let me tell you, this was so cutting edge graphically at the time, though the fatalities were what EVERYONE was talking about. I mean i remember it even freaking me out then as a kid, as i'd never before seen violence like this in a video game. sure, there were the movies (the dream warriors being my favorite 'nightmare' movie of all time), and other video games like smash tv and N.A.R.C... but nothing quite like this. i guess it was just in the presentation and lifelike graphics that left a lot of us uneasy at first, and curious for more. this game was the essential of every arcade, every pizza parlor, laundry mat, apartment lobby, barber shop, corner store... you name it. this game was where it was at. the lines where even drawn.... were you a street fighter kid, or MK kid? sure, there were other challengers to the throne (killer instinct really being the only one that anyone ever took seriously), but it was really between these two games. i know it sounds super dated and cheesy, but those were the games the "bad kids" played... standing around, smoking cigarettes and watching their quarter move up the line on the bezel waiting for their turn. parents warned their "good" kids to stay away from those machines like they were a beacons for drug dealers and gang members, lol. those who weren't afraid of them though, man... the challenges and the memories. I'm going to be 40 in 2019, and this game still takes me back instantly. still a fan of the series, can't wait for MK11. those first two, however... they'll always take me back. keep your skeeball and crane games... all i wanted was some mortal kombat.

Not sure if i have ever commented about this, but one thing they haven't done since is when you're in the final endurance stage. After the 1st opponent is down and you start battling the 2nd opponent, the ground starts shaking and you hear goro off screen. It threw me off playing at a young age and made me lose b/c i thought goro was gonna come out and wreck everyone in his path. He doesn't and if you're lucky to win, he drops into frame not giving you a breather. If you're in direct reach and don't react quick, the match is already over b/c goro has you and you're gonna have trouble counter attacking. This was goro at, imo, his most intimidating.

Good times and brilliant game I was 12 when this came out saw it for the first time in in a travel lodge when we were on holiday back in 92, it was great because it was right next door to our room tucket out the way in a back room and me and my brother used to sneak out at night and play it as it was on free play, the home versions on the snes and megadrive didnt do it justice they weren't powerful enough to do it properly, the snes would of been the closest but they ruined it by censoring the bloody and death moves, see kids have the best of both worlds now consoles are more powerful than the arcades so perfect ports are a peace a piss but we never got that as kids the arcades were something to be looked upto....power houses! that if you lost you were owned! the home versions were cut and shuts for us during the 16bit era it gave us the game play but graphics and sound pailed in comparison. I remember how big mortal kombat 2 was when it came out the next year it was massive even kicking super Street fighter 2 turbo into oblivion, they don't make games like this anymore!

This game was released at the height of arcade fighting games. Street fighter 2 had already been around for a few years but you had virtua fighter 1 and 2 then with the release of mk2. Although I never spent as much money on an arcade machine as I did T2 judgement day. I’ll never forget the time I finally beat that one at DGs arcade in warwick RI back in 92/93 I can’t exactly remember
I remember watching my older brother playing this game with his favorite character Sub-zero at the laundromat & a crowd gather because nobody had ever seen sum1 defeat Goro & passing the game. The crowd was cheering him on & as a 11 year old I felt so proud 🤣🤣 RiP bro it's been 10 years since u passed..thx for the memories, 1 day will see each other again
Sorry about your brother.
What a nice memory with your big bro. Thanks for sharing.
Rip
Sorry for your loss. Lovely memory to have.
Rip
Kids today will never understand how terrified we were the first time we saw Goro.
As much as I wasn't born in the 90's I can say that it really must be terrifying to come across a monster that is super strong and resistant and you have to think what to do to defeat it
31 years later and I still think these graphics are pretty good. Was so amazed by this game in the 1990s
Me and my brother used to sneak to the arcade on sundays while doing laundry and spend like $5 in quarters playing this 🤣🤣🤣🤣 no lie, we was so happy when pops (RIP) bought us a Sega genesis and MK 1 with 2 controllers for xmas 😂😊😊😊😊 God the memories of the early 90's
Yes sir. Those were the good ol' days. To play this game in arcades, then have it at home to play all you want was the best thing ever back then. RIP to your father.
I remember the Arcade Game of MK1 was at our local Wal Mart. When parents are checking out, My brothers we would always go to the Arcade and play MK1. Whenever we go to the laundromat, there was Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, instead of helping we always go there to play. When Mortal Kombat 4 came out at the Arcade at our local mall, we would spend most of our time there playing MK4 while my parents are out shopping.

The screams that sound when Shang Tsung throw fireballs scared me when I was a kid. Were those supposed to be like tortured souls being released by Shang Tsung or what?
I remember the first time seeing Mortal Kombat. It was 1992 at a bowling alley here. I was amazed by this game, because there was nothing else like it at the time. There was an older kid playing it and he knew all of the special moves and fatalities. There was a huge crowd of people gathering to watch him rip off heads with spines still attached, and shock an enemy with lightning until their head explodes. Good stuff. Haha!!
Shouldn't you change name and pfp bi-han
I was a street fighter ii fan, world heroes. When my brother took me to this new arcade I saw my and was mesmerized. The blood staying on the floor for a second. It's slower motion game play. I emediatly liked the bruce lee character.
and eventually you married that kid, yeah we know...
15:19 The seamless transition Shang Tsung transforms to Sonya and Raiden is so awesome.

I remember Goro giving me a jump scare when he first appeared jumping on the screen and the match starts off just like that. At that time, I wasn't expecting that
I feel that this is the life blood of Mortal Kombat. Fights in the pits of hell, no rhyme or reason just fighting gore and death, and absolutely no mercy
The realistic atmosphere, mystical ost and raw violence is still unmatched by the later games which took a comic book kind of approach in everything
This game looks so good so many years later! What an amazing game visually and character wise!

yep when you had to work just to play a video game. Now kids are just so spoiled. I remember the days of working my ass off to get a few dollars just to wait in line to lose to the really good asian kid that lived at the arcade.
man, this reminds me of how mindblown I was to see the arcade graphics. So many more frames in the sprites. The first time I saw the head rip fatality I just about exploded
MAN looking at this game I'm still amazed at how the animations look its just EPIC. Then came killer instinct.
That gong in the beginning where you see the characters is epic and gave me chills. This will always be my favorite Mortal Kombat. It was the most real too cuz they actually took photos of real people to make it. And after the second one, it was all about doing combos like it Killer Instinct. I never learned how to do that, just knew the special moves.
The "Toasty!" guy is hanging upside down in the pit!
Classic! I remember playing this down at our local bowling alley in 1992. MK was all the rage
I remember I was like 7 at the arcade and I put my quarter up and people didn't want me to play cuz I had no idea what I was doing. But they were like let the kid play, so I got my chance. I picked Johnny Cage for some reason and from button mashing I did his special kick and won the first round. But then the other dude started trying and he beat me. But winning that round was the highlight of the day for me. Eventually I got the game for NES and learned all the special moves. Which isn't saying much cuz they were all relatively easy to do. Like back back forward, forward forward punch. Ahhhh memories.
when i first saw this game in the arcades i was blown away by the graphics.......i had never seen anything like it before. Previously i think all fighting game characters were drawn
I remember seeing this game in the pizzaria when I was a kid back in 96 because even then the older kids were still huddled around it.

@@ranbirbhatia1585 no I meant both
I remember when this came out on arcade. It was in the middle of the “fighting game” craze that was initiated by the popularity of “Street Fighter 2”. This game was awesome when released and then Mortal Kombat 2 took everything to an even more amazing level.
dropped so many quarters on MK2
The old fatalities were boss! Less really was more back then.
Totally agree.
I can only imagine how the meeting went when the ESRB ratings group was formed and they watched Sub-Zero pull the head off the opponent (with spine attached) as the fatality. :)

47 No, he freezes the opponent solid, then breaks them with a backfist.
It's so cool how Midway used real life martial arts actors to create the characters in the game (except for Sub Zero, Scorpion and Reptile because they were the same character with the colors on their costumes changed to yellow, blue, and green).
+Peyton Golding Yes he is in the game, but you can't play as him until Mortal Kombat 2.
Reptile was there if you could get 2 flawless victories in the pit without blocking and finish with a fatality. (not the pit fatality)
+Peyton Golding he is a secret character dumbass
+Peyton Golding buddy. So you never knew that reptile was a secret stage in the pit? You have to wait until you see Santa on the moon including the. Pit stage, then kill your opponent without using block and with flawless victory and I don't remember if you need to do fatality or send him to the pit, but the. You change to reptile stage that was basically scorpion and subzero merged. He can perform both of their powers and was extremely fast. But very simple to defeat. By the way Santa appear in the moon every five games. So was not possible to have reptile in every game, I was waiting and counting other boys until was time for the fifth game.
Bi-Han was amazing. From his stance, to the his special move animations, he was the best. That freeze and slide animation😍. Has yet to be topped in my book, but MK11 looks amazing. Great stance and animation. Looking forward to playing Sub-Zero in MK11.

This was the first fatality I ever performed, and it was on my 15th birthday. Scorpion was the first opponent I ever killed in this game.
One of the most influential games in history.
I completed my first ever playthrough of MK1 as Sub-Zero. I was delighted at the end to learn that he amassed a huge fortune and rode off into the sunset as a wealthy retiree. I was extremely disappointed that MK2's storyline basically undid all that by having him killed off and replaced with a "warm-hearted" younger brother (and then eventually by a cyborg).
CraftySouthpaw The first time I ever played mk I chose Sub Zero so he's always been my fav but yeah it sucks how they fucked up his story
Diablo 627 Sub-Zero will always be my favorite character
CraftySouthpaw And in the movie they fucked up Sub-Zero by making him a bad guy teaming up with Scorpion and then he is murder by Liu Kang. Yet in the MK1 he died by Scorpion. If the creators of the game/movie can revert back to Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero then you will get the real back story about both Scorpion and Sub-Zero before Mortal Kombat started.
Some Dude I agree 100% They should have started it first with Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero as a movie.

Kind of miss those days spending Saturdays at the arcades & playing against others in this game. Those were the days, even though kids these days can compete online I think it was better being in the arcade & competing one on one w/ someone in real time. At least you didn't have to worry about lag.
God this brings back some fantastic memories.
I just beat the game via Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection on the Xbox 360 with Sub Zero and I was the happiest teen on earth!
It's FRIGGIN sick how you can send somebody flying 10ft in the after with a sick uppercut...and I love every minute of it!😃
I remember seeing Mortal Kombat for the first time ever when I was about 7 or 8. The machine was in a liquor store and I never had heard of it. Saw some older kid playing it as Sub Zero. Watched in awe and then witnessed the fatality where he rips off the guys head. Omg, I was hooked! Thanks for uploading this.

It is very impressive for how old it is. This is one of the best games ever
@@jnccanales21 hater lmao how
it was one of the first (at least one of the first well known- see chiller for example) games to feature graphic violence and blood
The game was groundbreaking for sure. That’s why it’s still popular today.
Mk1 really nailed it with the screen going dark during the fatalities. I noticed a progression of more light in each remake. By the time i was playing MK on PS2 the game didnt even get dark during the fatalities and the gore looked like popcorn. Mk1 still rules when it comes to CREEPINESS.
Exactly bro, goro her looks scary as shit
Killer Instinct did the same with their finishers, gave like a Wes Craven type theatrical element to them
Very true. I've always loved how unapologetically brutal and serious this game was. The music and sound design especially elevate the hellish nature of the world.
Yeah, from the first three, MK1 is my favorite because of it's dread and ominous mood. When I first saw it, I was shocked with the "realism" of the violence. The fighters all seem bad guys, as they were into murder a defenseless opponent. The sound was totally creepy, as it was the agony screams. You could hear the agony of a fighter being killed in your head long after you've played. And being murdering or not an opponent, a choice of the player, it added a lot in the disturbing effect. In MKII, things got tuned down, with "toasty" screams, babalities and friendships. The violence was also changed into something parodic through excess. I mean, look at the roundhouse kick in MK1 - it's brutal, you felt as you had broken the jaw of the enemy. On MKII in just throw the guy flying into the other side of the arena, as he was made of plastic. Also, in the first one, tha fatality of Scorpion left just the charred skeleton of the victim on her kness, while in MKII people are exploding all around, which was funnier than scarier.
This game was a excellent beginning from MK, seriously
so much memories.... my first fatality was sub zeros head rip.... the 90s had awesome years. I was 9 when I first played this
yeah people don't know the phenomenon this game was when it came out. and yeah it would be in arcades, laundromats, bowling alleys, movie theaters.. there was even one that me and my brother found in a shitty grocery store across town. it was great because no one really knew about it and all the other mortal kombat games in town would usually have lines of people waiting to play. me and my brother would get loads of quarters and drive out there and play it for hours. in the arcade where the crowds would gather around it, things would get heated.. you'd have to be careful because actual fights would actually break out over the game sometimes
lol at raiden’s gibberish when he use that move xD
carD GIVE ME MY MONEY!!! JHONNY'S IN THE CAR!!
Voice actor would have been unbeatable for death metal vocals.
You've mastered it. I've been watching your video like a corner back studying film..... It's payback time to this damn machine!!
i was 12 or 13 when this game came out... and let me tell you, this was so cutting edge graphically at the time, though the fatalities were what EVERYONE was talking about. I mean i remember it even freaking me out then as a kid, as i'd never before seen violence like this in a video game. sure, there were the movies (the dream warriors being my favorite 'nightmare' movie of all time), and other video games like smash tv and N.A.R.C... but nothing quite like this. i guess it was just in the presentation and lifelike graphics that left a lot of us uneasy at first, and curious for more. this game was the essential of every arcade, every pizza parlor, laundry mat, apartment lobby, barber shop, corner store... you name it. this game was where it was at. the lines where even drawn.... were you a street fighter kid, or MK kid? sure, there were other challengers to the throne (killer instinct really being the only one that anyone ever took seriously), but it was really between these two games. i know it sounds super dated and cheesy, but those were the games the "bad kids" played... standing around, smoking cigarettes and watching their quarter move up the line on the bezel waiting for their turn. parents warned their "good" kids to stay away from those machines like they were a beacons for drug dealers and gang members, lol. those who weren't afraid of them though, man... the challenges and the memories. I'm going to be 40 in 2019, and this game still takes me back instantly. still a fan of the series, can't wait for MK11. those first two, however... they'll always take me back. keep your skeeball and crane games... all i wanted was some mortal kombat.
Damn sounds like cool story I wish I grew up in the 90's :/
I've got a few years on you but I remember when it was new. The freaking grocery store had this game, right next to Street Fighter. It was the darkest thing in my life, and it was scary as hell.
We've grown up in the 90's and Today's Kids will never Know.
Goro and Shang Tsung would look a lot scarier if they were able to give them the same look as the rest of the characters where it’s a real person digitized into the camera.
Um Shang tsung is actually also protrayed by a real person digitized into a video game
dakentaijutsu2010 yeah you’re right, taking a closer look I noticed, I guess it was the coloring or something that made him look more animated to me than the rest of them.
Oh them Memories playing with my family, the gold Old days!
yes :)
Lol...When the evil laugh came on, you knew somebody was about to get FINISHED...
To think before we got Johnny Cage it was gonna be originally Jean Claude Van Damme but to licensing and creative difficulty we got Johnny instead. I wonder how different the MK universe would have been if it would have been JCVD in Johnny's Place
It’s funny how the most iconic rivals (Scorpion and Sub-Zero, Liu Kang and Shang Tsung) were portrayed by the same person.
Sub-Zero, Scorpion AND Johnny Cage were played by the same person.
This is the best MK for me for a lots of reasons: 1 - It has the best soundtrack of 'em all (love listen to that) 2 - All that dark, ancient eastern, wicked worldly, hellish atmosphere 3 - It is really creepy 4 - Until best graphic resources fatalities and graphics were poorer than the 1 version (MK 2 and 3 with those bones all like the same and shit) 5 - The best Chroma key of all versions 6 - I've been playing this game since 1992 :)
but Mkx though
I love the game, but i came here because of Scorpion's stage theme song!
And Kano's at 4:39, as well!
Silvio Pozza yes il’s the best ever
And it was the first fighting game to introduced secret characters
Not sure if i have ever commented about this, but one thing they haven't done since is when you're in the final endurance stage. After the 1st opponent is down and you start battling the 2nd opponent, the ground starts shaking and you hear goro off screen. It threw me off playing at a young age and made me lose b/c i thought goro was gonna come out and wreck everyone in his path. He doesn't and if you're lucky to win, he drops into frame not giving you a breather. If you're in direct reach and don't react quick, the match is already over b/c goro has you and you're gonna have trouble counter attacking. This was goro at, imo, his most intimidating.
I don't think there's an arcade machine I pumped more quarters into than this one, except for maybe Street fighter II - Champion Edition. Ahh, the memories.
9:00 Sub-Zero Gave Johnny Cage Straight Hard Kicks To The Face Repeatadly
Poor Bi-han only wanted to retire at a Young age by winning and Scorpion had to kill him.
Elder Sub-Zero killed Scorpion, the only reason he even competed in the tournament was to get revenge 🤦🏻♂️
@@BlockheadBlocks actually it was revealed in mk4 that Quan chi killed scorpion and to him that sub zero did it so scorpion would kill sub zero
@@starkiller1248 No that never happened lol. Sub Zero killed Scorpion before MK1. Might wanna double check that
Man I wished I was born in this timeline I’d do anything😫 I love those old games like Street fighter,Mortal Kombat,Golden Axe…
My favorite character to this day. I beat the arcade version of this at several locations back in the day. Thanks for the upload.
Way to go on proofreading, Midway! It says he was paid a large "some" of money, instead of "sum"!
At 0:28, Sub-Zero was using Scorpion's stance. Seems like he didn't want us to see him doing that
Never noticed that
What are you talking about
awesome game i used to love playing back in the day
God man this brings back memories but boy Goro I died so much to him it was crazy lol.
Я Дачный Месси
Good times and brilliant game I was 12 when this came out saw it for the first time in in a travel lodge when we were on holiday back in 92, it was great because it was right next door to our room tucket out the way in a back room and me and my brother used to sneak out at night and play it as it was on free play, the home versions on the snes and megadrive didnt do it justice they weren't powerful enough to do it properly, the snes would of been the closest but they ruined it by censoring the bloody and death moves, see kids have the best of both worlds now consoles are more powerful than the arcades so perfect ports are a peace a piss but we never got that as kids the arcades were something to be looked upto....power houses! that if you lost you were owned! the home versions were cut and shuts for us during the 16bit era it gave us the game play but graphics and sound pailed in comparison. I remember how big mortal kombat 2 was when it came out the next year it was massive even kicking super Street fighter 2 turbo into oblivion, they don't make games like this anymore!
Q lindos recuerdos !!! Vivía con esto de Niño!!!
When I first saw this game at a local Tilt arcade there must have been at least 30-40 people crowded around the machine. It was the first time I had ever seen so much hype for a game.
Dude... thank you SO much for this video! Perfect image and sounds, SubZero in player 2, with the best Fatality screaming of all time! Outstanding! Congrats!
Sonya Blade's head looks like Chuck Norris lol!
Me!
Sub-zero killed Chuck Norris
Sonya is based off of actress/martial artist Cynthia Rothrock.
One writer wrote in to Gamepro saying that Sub-Zero’s decapitated opponent in their SNES/Genesis strategy section looked like Ken. They were right about the letter the opponent’s name started with - it was actually Kano.
@@sdlock83 cierto.
I remember in the arcade were I was Number 1 in the list just fucking beating up everybody with scorpion. and 1 time a guy who knew every freaking combo and I lost and we had a rematch and I PUT EVERYTHING IN TO IT!!!!! I just accidentally dropped my soda on his pants and ran and the game crashed but I was still Number 1!!!!!!!
accidentaly ;)
+Ana Rivas you are so not ''Number 1'',never was and never will be ! :) (no offense)
Sorry but you're not #1 then if you ran out before the game was over
lol
What memories! Those sound effects! Oh boy....
Most iconic Fatality ever !
Wait... I thought it was Scorpion's Acid Blow?
Bi-Han/Original Sub-Zero is my favorite.
I love how raiden sounds when he does his flying thing
Allli mama lehhhhh!!!!!!
Imran Khan actually its"GIVE ME MY MONEY!!!!!"
Imran Khan more like.. eliminator..
+lenny boy JOHNNY GOT A CARRR!
GALIGALIGAAAA
I wish the Mortal Kombat franchise would go back to it's roots. In other words, bring back the 2D-style gameplay and the digitized character models!
Wow how far this game has evolved, I remember playing this at the local taxi rank 10p a game winner stayed on . Forward down forward punch fatality
I Love this Game
14:02 Goro messes with the ice cold man. 15:03 His testosterone level sinks Sub-Zero!
OMGG this is when it all started I was like 5 💔 .. I’ve had all the games since edit : I’m 15 now
Omg the Raiden voice when he flies at you is hilarious! 😆
Missed your double Flawless/Fatality on Pit to fight Reptile.
Un juego histórico que marcó la juventud de millones de gamers de todo el mundo.
Así recuerdo con 5 pesos me jugaba más de 2 horas
Una Pregunta De Que play Station es
No existia playstation todavia , el juego es de sega
Ja eso ya es una mierda yo ya tengo el mortal konbat 11
@@inksans581 insultas a un juego que si no existiera no estuviese el 11? fijate que fue el primero asique piensa antes de hablar
pretty good game! nice graphix too! I loved it!
I remember being salty when I got this on snes because it didn't have blood on it and the graphics/music wasn't the same as the arcade version lol. Classic memories. Me and my pops use to play the hell out of this... then when MK2 came out we played that.
Era muy Real esto para la época . Tremendo fue me acuerdo.
12:58 my man did my boy raiden dirty
I was 8 when this game came out in 1993. All the kids were talking about it; all the parents were horrified at it. This game was revolutionary in terms of the graphics in it. We were used to Mario brothers and Nintendo. Not something like this.
I remember me and my older brother used to play this back in the day and we would always take turns whenever one of us losses to Shang Tsung and when we finally beat him and this happened 16:36 we were speechless and at 16:46 when the music started playing and the gong hits,i remember we slowly look at each at did the loudest high five ever Ahhhhhh Memories😢😢😢
I can never get past the second team tag before getting a Game Over.
Is this Bi-Han or Kuai Liang? I do believe, Kuai Liang's first appearance was on Mortal Kombat 3 🤔
It's Bi-Han. Kuai Liang was introduced in mortal kombat 2
Bi-Han
Yes MK 2 Released Noob Saibot (Bi-Han) and then Kuai Liang took over
MKII's my favorite. But man!! This is a FRIGGIN classic!!
This game was released at the height of arcade fighting games. Street fighter 2 had already been around for a few years but you had virtua fighter 1 and 2 then with the release of mk2. Although I never spent as much money on an arcade machine as I did T2 judgement day. I’ll never forget the time I finally beat that one at DGs arcade in warwick RI back in 92/93 I can’t exactly remember
