I'm glad I only played the single player campaign. That stuff was broken. But none of my friends had enough fighting game tech to notice. Lol
Reptile was so fun in this game!
@@rayhoyer4829 Yeah damn right!
You are a tresure to MK kommunity fr
I loved how they didn't like Smoke's OTG smoke bomb because it gave him a 45% combo...so they "nerfed" it by making it do a 107% reset lmao. And then when they patched it, it was still on the MK2 costume so you could choose if you wanted resets or otg smoke bombs.
Variation system in mk9 lol
Smoke should have kept this when you look at what the tip top tiers could do in the final version 😢
I loved costumes having different data lol. Like cyrax.
@@bruhsecutor wasn't his human form teleport safe?
@@JustinKeithDyup, but the other stuff was worse
Mortal Kombat 9 got me back into fighting games in a big way
It was the one that got me in!
For me it was my strong introduction back to MK and fighting games in general :D After that I decided to spend a lot of time with MKX
Me too@@phucnguyen0110
MK9 not only had one of the best combat systems in MK history, but costumes as well. The costumes in the newer MK games basically puts everyone in a full body suit.
8:09 interesting to learn that that is where Injustice 2 Sub Zero’s B3 animation comes from. Neat.
I literally watched the 5 year old Vanilla MKX video yesterday, so this video suddenly showing up is quite funny.
The algorithm is becoming more aggressive
11:03 Lore accurate reason why Shao Kahn broke Kung Lao's neck.
Man seeing that MK9 ground freeze not be terrible anymore, what a flash of nostalgia that is. That's gotta be up there with some of the hardest nerfed moves in MK.
Day 1 of asking competitive history of sub zero
I'd recommend you to watch the competitive history of Cyber Sub-Zero if you haven't already. I'll agree though, we need Human Sub competitive history!
Too obscure of a character
He's busted in Mythologies, he may as well be the only character you play as
@@criticaldrive97 I heard his brother, Sub-Zero was better
It'll be the longest competitive history video ever, not that I'm complaining lol
I'm back once again asking for Competitive History of Liu Kang! *I WILL BE SEEN AND HEARD KETCHUP!*
You have been seen for a while. I did say on the kano episode that the next character is another Klassic fighter 😏
@@PNDKMwho is your favorite character of all time?
@@walterwhite1 Sektor.
@@PNDKM Don't do that... Don't give me hope.
His nickname is Ketchup, I mean it's pretty obvious youd think lol. Great stuff as usual Ketchup! Imo this channel IS the go to when it comes to anything MK related.
I hope to see competitive history of Shang Tsung some day.
You've my support brother.
🙄🙄🙄
MK9 will forever hold a special place in my heart and I feel is still the best Mortal Kombat. I was a Kenshi, Cyrax, Reptile and Sub player. Its pretty insane when you realize just how many tools Cyrax had lol.
Yess. Every mk since has been trash.
Oh heck yes, I been waiting for this. I heard Cyrax was nerfed throughout the game and still ended up a top 3 character. It's funny when we think about how characters get nerfed hard with patches starting in Injustice 1 and the future games. Glad to see this beautiful gift this morning
The MK9 era was spectacular. This game was amazing despite how overall unbalanced it was, but mannn, sometimes a game is just so damn FUN that that doesn't matter. It's kind of funny that the first attempt at a modern MK ended up being the best one. Subsequent MK titles have gone increasingly downhill from here. My friends and I started having monthly MK9 sessions again. This game is still awesome.
baraka plays like he needs a sonya kameo 🤣
🤣
Imagine a remake/remaster of mk9 I’d be down for that or even just a port to new gens
I got the disc and it works on xbox
@@user-vp5xf6fm5p yeah same man

@@user-vp5xf6fm5pu get into any online matches ?
I played this from launch but wasn't connected to the fgc. My friends and I played it almost every day for a couple of years... Never learned how to really play but that didn't stop the 3 of us from having the most intense fun ever. What an absolutely blast.
I really wish more fighting games would give us version selects, at least in training mode, so we could test this sort of stuff. SF4 kind of does this, but it's only for the final revisions of each packaged version and not every single patch, but it's still nice. And we can even use it in versus mode. Even back in SSF2T days we could pick SF2 versions of characters with a code, and they're allowed in tournaments.
Im at 1:52. I watch less ‘content’ in general these days, and its been a long time since ive seen you and your bro on camera, so this may be out of date, but the beard! Epic!
Congrats on 200K lads :) Well deserved. This was a very good trip down memory lane. What a crazy recipe this game was, good times.
It's unfortunate how hard it is to preserve pre-patched versions of modern games. Especially with how nowadays new mechanics will get added in updates that significantly alter the game but unlike when old games would get champion editions and whatnot, you can't easily go back to that day one experience.
Cyrax? MK9? He NEEDS it. Sorry, conditioned response 😅
Pure hilarity that they kept trying to nerf Cyrax with every single patch and only made him stronger lol
He's called the Leaky Boat for a reason.
Congratulations on 200K!
Love videos like this revisiting old versions of games, its weird seeing things happen in a game that arent possible anymore
Vanilla Mortal Kombat 11 would be a fun video! I still remember stuff that was removed in the day one patch
0:18 one of the many beautiful things about the PS3 (console that gave too much) , vo to the installation folder , delete the current data , cancel the update and enjoy the vanilla version to your hearts content. Edit: Had no idea you could do this with the 360 too. So much we have to appreciate with the 7 gen. The only bad thing I can think of was online pass.
Hello, could you tell me how I should do it?
@@cid107 Doing this off by heart haven't used a PS3 in years. 1. Go to the installation folder (forgot what it is called , it is above to save data though) 2.Delete the installation data 3.Start the game 4. (If you are connect to the internet) do not do the update and the game should start as the vanilla version. Note: If you are using MK9 komplete edition it will likely not work due to being likely based on the first patch with all DLC characters.
@@vista1456786 thanks so much👍
The HD era started so many terrible things. Having to wait to install updates (especially on the slower internet back then), bad DLC practices, games getting delisted, series that began on PC started being dumbed down for consoles, always online games, waggle, overuse of bloom and underuse of colors other than gray and brown, local multiplayer getting shafted because of online play, Japanese developers trying and failing to Westernize their games (example: DMC), Games for Windows Live, RRoD and YLoD, and the greater cost of HD development destroying smaller studios. However, we did get some nice things, like the rise of indie games.
EVEN AS A CHILD I KNEW BARAKA WAS GARBAGE WHEN THIS CAME OUT lol that’s so funny to me. I was like “Baraka feels weird”
You could probably do a whole video on Cyrax's MK9 journey. If I recall correctly, he could trap the opponent in a buzzsaw with a bomb out and reset a combo that way (amongst many others)
actually the best manscaped ad i've ever seen wonderful (actual) video as always
This was a lot of fun, I'd def love to see more like this.
Awesome. Thanks for these 👊🏻
200 000 subs gz 🎉
Great video. The whole beard in the beginning threw me off a bit since I have not seen you in quite a while haha.
This was awesome to watch. I'd would absolutely love to see you do a dive into the MK9 demo because man, I don't think I've seen anybody talk about the insane input delay in it. Not sure if the demo was ever patched since it wasn't really a thing to do during that era but it would a fascinating video to watch with your thoroughness and production value!
Glad to see CHECK4900 still being mentioned, such a strong guy. Hope he continues to get better health wise
you popped up on screen and i said “what a lovely beard” and then of course manscapes comes through
Could you make a video about breaking down every single mortal Kombat game competitive “lingo”? Tick throw, jail, oackie(?) etc?
Oackie? I think you mean okie.
@@kylereno5383ah yup, that’s why I put the (?) cuz I didn’t know if I spelled it right lol.
Thx for this, for sure waiting for the tag vídeo xD
"No Kratos either" Lets be real: This game should never have launched without Xbox having a mascot in the game. that aside, I don't recall any of these details despite buying it day one, it's very nostalgic to see the game that revived the franchise at it's worst and then rise even further beyond expectations. (Also i hated Cyrax back in the MK9 days)
My boys are grown men now sheesshhhh good seeing y’all again. keep up the content
I don't know much about MK9 techs but I remember Shang Tsung having a damage increase after soul steal move and if I'm not tripping, it used to stack. After doing 3 soul steals my damage was at least double and it didn't go away like it does in the current version.
Get over here!
I loved this video. I wanted this game as a kid but was only able to get it when it was on sale on Steam via the complete version. Seeing how things "used to be" for vanilla games is amazing. Especially with all the complaining people are doing with SF6/MK1/T8. Love to see more.
I still remember reading the Gameinformer article for mk9 so vividly
Into "RINSE REPEAT" is my favorite combo.
i just recently bought the game and thank you for the vid
Perfect timing as I got a copy of the komplete edition for the 360. Was surprisingly hard to find for a decent price and/or with komplete edition.....
The word is BASED, not "broken". The game was based and good
Yes! More mk9 content!
I remember founding out a glitch back when i got the game. No idea about the version, but i know it was patched after a few years when i decided to play again. The glitch was hitting a charged back 2 into X Ray, maybe with a jump punch to bounce the enemy first, i don't remember. But timing it right would glitch the xray and turn both characthers 90 degrees sideways. Making they face or be with their back against the camera. Pretty weird and silly with no actual gameplay influence besides funny animation
we need more vanilla mk9 videos 😂 this is gold
Would love for you to do this for mkx and 11
He did one for MKX 5 years ago. Look up the "Science of MKX" series.
i would love a tag version of this
now that you mention Vanilla mk9 there were a lot of characters who can do a truck load of damage not to mention the fact that every character has a reset combo property
Day one of thanking KnM for all they do for the FGC
Imagine if all of kung lao's tech was discovered at day 1 before any patches. He would of had 2,4 low hat frame trape, 1,1,21 being 0 on block. And all the bird lao tech. Now again we know this stuff took time to find but technically he had all of this at day 1 of the game. Perhaps the most overpowered broken character in the history of any mortal kombat game?
competitive history of spongebob pls
I remember Baraka's chop chop loops being an infinite at the corner (or d3~chop chop loops) 🤔 good time hahaha
I don't play games every day so I don't rush to buy game systems. I still run a PS3 and this is the MK I play and my kids are growing up on. I recently downloaded UMK3 Plus which is what I grow up on so now I can satisfy my MK appetite anytime I want 😂
Please bring this game back.. I was a monster on tag team
Kung Lao isn't even playing Mortal Kombat. He's playing fucking DMC
Can we PLEASE get an MK Meta video on MK: Deception?
I would love for you to cover the demo version of the game if it has enough to talk about! All I remember is that you could launch with d2
I used to run pockets with baraka and subzero. I had no clue baraka was seen as bottom tier
That Johnny Cage x-ray glitch is hilarious
Day 1 of helping the guy that said competitive history of sub-zero 🥶
How about vanilla Injustice 1?
My oldest strong memory of mk9 was using reptiles x-ray on the sand map and then going flawless in round 2
Yes more vanilla videos yes more tag videos plz
The competitive history of baraka
Kan y'all please make a Kompetitive History of Scorpion? 👊🏻🎮🐉🦂🦂🦂✌🏻
I absolutely want to know more about the tag mechanic. I never played this game any longer than 20 minutes total in my entire life lol
Amazing video bro! Think you could do a similar video but with Vanilla MKX? 👍
I did a few years back!
I’ll check it then
not me trying to learn mk9 kombos on PS3 with komplete edition and failing... only learning now that the videos i watch to learn said kombos are not up to date patch wise...thanks mate i tought i was horrible...maybe i am
I remember that
Competitive history of Goro next pls
You have to do day one Mortal Kombat 11. That game was completely different compared to now.
Mk9💚
You are so incredible
Any MK2 meta history plans? MK 2 on Gameboy was my first MK game before I got it on SNES.
I played 9 to death lmaoo I remember when the demo dropped I kept doing mad teleport combos with scorpion that was no longer possible on release. Made it to rank 3 in KOTH respect lmfao idk how bruh… but I really miss how the detailed the leaderboards were! I hate that they took the KOTH respect leaderboard away in later games
Man using Raiden was so fun in mk9
Ketchup will you ever make a remake on the meta of MK9? I'm not sure if the meta has developed enough for it
We got rain both in both MK11 and MK1 now so would you make an update about his competitive history?
I miss MK9. I actually picked up another copy after my old one went missing not too long ago. Tempted to try out both Sektor and Cyrax again. Also, you don't have an ugly mug, you. 🙂😆
I do not think DLC characters' Day 1 versions are lost to time. Via RPCS 3 and a base copy of the game. You can get a specific patch file alongside the DLC files and install them individually. Worth trying but I ain't doing all that lol.
If you were to buff the mk9 bottom 5, how would you go about it? Better frames, armor, anything else?
The bottom 5 need a lot of help in almost every way. Truly unviable compared to the top 10.
The fact Kenshi vs Jade was a 10-0 matchup still blows my mind lol.
Does anyone remember divekick? That game was fun af
Can we see a tournament just to see how nuts this 0 day game is?
Fan Trilogy patch left the game in a good state for ppl wanting to play it
0:57 - 1:07 Scariest ten seconds of my life
Give me a competitive history, I don't care what character it is
Do a tag video pls
You should totally do this for MKX
I did! Search for a video I made called "the science of mkx: in the beginning:
@@PNDKM oh wow I forgot, one of the first videos I saw on the channel way back. Thanks!
Lore accurate Johnny Cage
Wasnt Sindel super strong in the beginning ? and after a patch she received a huge combo scaling nerf ?
The patch notes mentioned a change to her scream, but her b2 was seemingly not a low on launch.
Congrats on 200k!!
Oh man, if you hate cyrax in mortal Kombat, have you ever come across the Akron goblin when looking into cyraxx? If not, Oh boy. Please give it a KZhead search. In fact I'm sure he's all you get when you look up cyrax
Vanilla mk9 with online is the fucking dream.
I've been watching this channel for a while can anyone explain what PNDKM means
