There’s nothing quite like yelling out a game’s title and then grooving to some sweet techno tunes. There’s also nothing quite like ripping someone’s spine out to finish off a martial arts bout. These are both things you can do in Mortal Kombat, which contribute to its legendary legacy. We’ve been telling our opponents to “GET OVER HERE” for some 30-odd years now, and it hasn’t even come close to getting old. And with a truly NEW Mortal Kombat just around the corner, it’s always fun to take a trip down memory lane.

Mortal Kombat's marketing team is top tier. They really know how to build the hype since MK9.

[@BIGGIEDEVIL]

Since 92

[@slendus8363]

why are u in every mk videos comments section i legit see u everywhere

[@VegarotFusion]

I'm not the biggest fan of fighting games. But I've followed the MK series since the beginning. So I have a vested interest in it.

[@RyanLandreneau]

“240 facts”. Proceeds to just read a wiki of the story for 30 minutes

4 minutes in and he starts talking about Goro and immediately shows Kintaro first lmao

[@thegreatestevil1616]

at least he pronounced his name correct

[@Jtr999]

I'm pretty sure Liu Kang defeating Shang Tsung is canon due to the trailers from MK1

[@panoslamp2453]

Apparently both are canon but I wont say more

All 3 endings are canon lol I love it

[@wiloshea6387]

[@buglaboi3598]

How he talks about the ending with katana, that's technically a 3 ending. Mk1 story makes them canon

[@davakusink8706]

I'm really digging these long compilation videos the only thing that would make it better is adding chapters to the video

[@hueyh5637]

I agree with you that variations is a plus, annoys me when ppl complain that they don’t get the entire move list, but think of it as your getting extra moves, so every mirror match doesn’t play the same and have different strategies.

[@rebelcaleb6984]

This was a great video! I was hoping for some minor edits to bring the MK11 info up to date on some segments like the funny af "What does your MK11 main say about you" segment as well as some factual and trivia bits... but overall this was great.

[@gamegod11229]

Can’t wait for mortal kombat 12! The story is such a mystery.

[@ChaingunCassidy]

I'd imagine Mortal Kombat 12 is a few years away at least.

[@gamegod11229]

Probably decades since they’re doing MK1 now smh

[@catarenatucker2781]

The story was pretty awesome

Who else loves Mortal Kombat?

It's my first game I've ever played and I still play it to this day.

[@ClarkKent_13]

I love all these videos before MK1 came out saying which ending from MK11 will be the one that is Canon? And Ed Boon swerved everyone and just said "Yes" lol. Game comes out and both endings are Canon at the same time lol 🤯

[@KollektorKahn]

I like how 37:00 in the video we have covered all the way to aftermath and that’s only 25% though the video lol this was a great video to listen to while playing MK. Awesome Video by the way

[@bbthebeee]

Now this is my kinda 4am in bed "last video" to watch before sleep 😅 for real though, MK holds a special place in my heart I had it in 1993 megadrv and played it my first time a few years later on the ps1. Sindel was my favourite followed by nightwolf & Mr "blblblblblblbllrr" bycle kick 😂 the NK lore is amazing 👏 I wish we got a game seeing Edenia I'm it's prime, think we're gonna get a stage in MK1 this year but I honestly love this game history & lore. Praying MK2 movie is better than the first. ❤

[@stevenzaku7607]

I scream MORTALKOMBAT! Every morning, can’t start my day if I don’t

[@thegreatestevil1616]

i am sure that will scare your many cats

[@lSeKToRl]

This man made a 40 minute video recapping all of MK history and that's just 1/4th of the video.

[@ceulgai2817]

Wow, what a lot of fluff. Perfect for putting on in the background while I'm at work! Thank you!

[@drows6156]

Both endings was canon 😮oh my days!

[@KollektorKahn]

I love MK Armageddon. It had EVERYTHING! As well as the largest roster ever. It had my favorite character ever playable for the first time Shao Kahn

[@ponderosabones7803]

He was playable in Trilogy

So immediately this video contradicts the one caboose side where there were 3 beings. The elder gods, titans & the one being.

[@ihsansendagire5815]

Hell yeah

[@frozen__]

The Dr. Choi x Shang Tsung goes crazy

[@Jay_758]

24:01 foreshadowing 😂

[@Mysteriouslydarkstorys]

Not going to lie, there was quite a few things that were needlessly put here that definitely could have been different points or things that actually matter to the story rather then some little facts about certain team members and also the customisation section wasn't needed

[@Stories885]

I wonder if the one being is still apart of the realms in this timeline.

[@swagsoulja4560]

MK:A and MK:D aren’t spin offs tho

I heard him say “The rizz of the game is gore”

NK Versus DCU is cannon; it counts as MK8! 🎮

[@WoodRuff_Subscribe]

you put so much effort in this video I really hope this pays off for you bro 😌🔥 great work man I love watching videos like this

[@ztk1138]

If I make a live action mortal Kombat movie I want that to be set in 1992 because that's the year the original mortal Kombat arcade was release.

Would you have cast Karl Urban as Johnny Cage if you directed?

Looks like we're finally seeing Keegan's face.

[@lonreed9743]

Did you know….Raiden’s name was once spelled “Rayden”.

[@LilLingLing6789]

I love the way you talk, the way you say the last word in your sentences 🌹 I've collected 170 characters and I'm gonna write a digital absolutely everything about the story Just need to save up for a ps5 😂 Its funny how Christianity is depicted in mk The tribe on earth worshipped a God and their religion sounds so much like Christianity even has a jesus type but their God is actually shaol Kahn.. Hahahaha

[@halovbeasty]

I'm not gonna lie I know the information is still the same but the whole first half of the video is a copy and paste of a previous video

[@TheSparqy]

Shanghai tsung was originally an earth realm champion but he was disqualified for cheating and his life was forfeit. Shoa Khan sees the potential in shanghai tsung and offers him his life in return for his service and loyalty.

[@user-bk5oc8tg1u]

I do.....but I want to write a coherent single time line

[@JonJon-co3zj]

Definitely one of my first games I had the first mortal kombat in 1995 for super nintendo and they still taking my money willingly tho

[@_george_jorge2067]

As a tekken player my entire life I can easily say that I love Mortal Kombat more though my first game was MK11. When I was a kid I remember myself playing one of the mk games on Saga and was scared of Sindel and Sheeva 😂 Sindel is now my main character and will always be ❤

[@banditjonesy3509]

Mk vs DC is canonical. That's why MK9 is number 9. Also Raiden and Sub reference injustice in mk11

[@dubzerolol]

But mk9 isn’t actually called mk9 its jus called Mortal Kombat. fans dubbed it mk9 because it was the 9th installment and the developers ran with it.

[@FinalRoundGames00]

It was the first reset or different timeline

[@WHOS_AKUMA]

Is this the guy from the amigi

[@Voided037]

Is it me or are the elder gods just about the most useless beings in the entirety of the mk universe

[@dreakesanchez8937]

Whata happening when earth realm defeated 10 out world? It is the same like out world defeat 10 earth realm 😂

[@drewskiee9254]

Yes. Ronda Rooosy

[@TheSparqy]

The great kung loa did NOT train Lui Kang as he had been dead for 500 years as he was killed by Goro in his debut. That's why in MK1 Goro is the raining champion and winner of 9 mortal kombat tournaments. Your welcome 😂

[@gray.wesley]

half the facts were in conjunction to like 5 others you ended up repeating yourself like 100 times dude

[@amaurytorrespino710]

Both endings of MK11 aftermath are canon

[@SaneDeuce]

So if shao kahn was supposed to win what in dee fack was the whole point of future raiden sending messages to his past self if future shao khan was already winning

What are your Top 10 Favorite Mortal Kombat?

[@nicnancy1312]

[@jaydnash]

It say MK Deception and Armageddon spinoffs?

[@smilinmadman]

Says facts but is actually a timeline ..

[@shaifunnessa7816]

Splinter cell fact please make video

[@leograyify]

Ain't gon lie, this pained me too, WTF!! That Shao, naaah. GH botched this.

[@PeteZahjutt]

My biggest pet pece is these “gamers” doing these facts and lore videos but clearly not being familiar with the franchise at all Sharing untrue facts, mispronouncing character’s names, messing up the events chronologically, etc

[@BenignAndaHalf]

Clearly reading from a script, showing Deception and Armageddon in the “spin offs” picture, when it was supposed to be Special Forces and Shaolin Monks.

[@DoubleDunked20]

The "What your main says about you" portion was hella cringe ngl

[@johnsullivan3069]

Yeah like Kitana being Liu kings cousin when they was basically a couple in 11 and part of 1 smh

[@user-fj1uo2ju8x]

17:11

[@VictorHernandez-nj2lo]

I would rather have a 107 fact on the whole mk series not just 11. This reminds me of y'all's video of 107 facts of marvel vs capcom 3, when we wanted facts on the series 👎

[@StormyTalks]

Your pronunciation of Kuai Liang is... not good. It's kwai-LAHNG. Some characters say his name in the games.

[@mockdawg]

He sounds like a slow Canadian 🙄

[@CRiSiS_iNFiNiTE]

why do you talk like that dude with the fedora from that old viral video. the fake emo guy. mixed with that guy does the creepy countdown videos

[@majintoguro4952]

so if mortal kombat can only happen every 50 years, how is it possible that every single mortal kombat we see is one after the other, that doesn't make sense

[@Mysteriouslydarkstorys]

Because despite that fact the timeline is still wigged out, especially nowadays with the last game and this latest one being all about protecting the timelines i think that under that quota will also be coming back to that original rule but we'll see what happens

[@thejedikid7624]

yeah you butchered takeda's name in this video

[@stoagymahalo5268]

MK movie was ok... but still so lame how they picked a "main character".... not even new, just a descendant

[@jeremiahmay6936]

Dude. You look stoned.

[@raulsanchez9795]

The mortal kombat are so lame and cheesy.

[@TheSparqy]

Noob saibot is one of the creators name backwards.... Tobias Boon

[@Ticr00]

Dude, why are you wearing makeup???

[@thegreatestevil1616]

Boons comment about females bodies being so unrealistic is such hypocricy...Every guy in the game is ripped beyond belief. Boon just pandered to the woke crowd who never buy their games anyway, further more un you claim unrealistic....the dont make this game, cybernetic ninjas, gods, elemental warriors...he even made people shoot ice out their hands. Shame Boon, shame!

[@datniggafloppy9822]

wait, without shaolin monks. the game number/order don't make sense. itd be mk7 while armegeddon is 8 right before 9.

[@muthafuckawhatchusay]

[@JS-qo6gf]

Ronda roosy lol

[@garrettrathbun]

No it's calling omelet

[@therealENENRA]

The side games like Shaolin Monks are completely non-canon and stupid! Although SM was a fun game to play just silly story

[@kylereno5383]

Good video, but why are you pronouncing Sonya like?

[@didaubert3786]

As a old skool MASTER of THE Original mortal kombat(pick who you wanna die by) Theres NO room for a num 2 345678910-50-100...they totally fucked up the storyline and game to a epic but serious tournament MORTAL KOMBAT and turned it into a GIGANTIC JOKE! MORTAL KOMBAT :SMURFLAND INVASION!we can even have Fred flintstone as a playable character along with good ol sleepy joe ,his finisher.....he snorts you up his nose and wakes up!Hell shang tsung (David Lo Pan) and raiden(Lightning) are CLEARLY STOLEN FROM BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA!
