Mortal Kombat Select Screen Evolution MK To MK1 (1992 - 2023)

[@jacobpainter1962]

Mortal Kombat 9 was my first mk game. Seeing the secret screen is nostalgic

[@jetrifle4209]

Lmao so you're a child?

[@jacobpainter1962]

@@jetrifle4209 No I'm 21

[@addictedwii]

Well in their eyes you would be a child considering it's the 9th installment in the series. If it's the first mortal kombat you were exposed to.

[@Bvetrayed]

My first mk game was deception but mk9 has been my favorite so far because i had so much fun with friends online on that game.

[@mantic0ore]

Same bro

[@yoyogo504]

The announcer of MK 2, 3, always had an amazing voice and variation to the way he said each characters name. Gave lore to them without actually displaying it all from just his voice! Dude is legend.

[@crystalalumina]

It was Shao Khan

[@zxJC34xz]

Steve Ritchie

[@MateoIllario]

Exactly! I love the way he says "baRRRaka" in Mk2.

[@g0lddustt29]

I've gotten kind of nostalgic for MKX as time has gone on. The different fighting style variations hit in that game more than any other

[@DomagojSavordh]

Same here. Also dark tematics and style of some fighters I Iike the most from that game like: Mileena, Tanya, Dark Emperor Liu Kang, Erron Black

[@Jokester1990-ri3jl]

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

MKX is the first I played! Even 9 was around when I was more of a kid and tween so I couldn't play it and even now I don't want to because of the aged graphics lol. I played Injustice for years and finally got to play Mortal Kombat X and 11 a year or two ago when I moved out. I'm playing X again right now actually

Mk1 is more of a back to mk3-mk1 in general but

[@aversthesomeone]

Why does everybody think UMK3's select screen music is a end of the world??

[@MrWii000]

⁠@@aversthesomeoneMusic? I think he’s referring to the theme of the game as a whole.

[@aversthesomeone]

@@MrWii000 Well it's that, either music or both.

[@brat7501]

Найс хороший

[@Frosterino]

The Midway games had the best select screens for sure. The colour, the unique backgrounds, the different character poses, the music, the backgrounds. We don't even get unique select screen music anymore its just the same menu theme.

[@seanbirch]

don't forget the backgrounds!

[@silasandersongraves1600]

[@Eden_M0rgan]

​@@xrayvisinEverything before MK9 (basically from the first Mortal Kombat to Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe)

[@Wrizmo]

I’m sorry but those 3D mortal kombat games hold a special place in my memories. Character designs looked elite, the music, the game modes like chess, the story, being able to launch someone into another part of the stage or into a fatal part. Games were too ahead of their time

Mk deception its the peak

MK9 is better.

[@unbroken7780]

I always thought as a kid MK4 was a horror game going to this local arcade I had. The sound of when you throw a head and the gameover scene was the stuff of nightmares I tell ya...😅

[@supersmashlover926]

I thought I was the only one 😭 I remember when I was little, I stayed at a hotel and back then they used to have game consoles where you can play demos, I played mk4 out of curiosity and ofc I was piss poor at it, and when it showed the game over screen and my character falling down and being stabbed by the spikes it kept me up all night😂😅

[@unbroken7780]

[@Nezquic97]

They need to bring that atmosphere back to MK, and that game over, fall to your death pit lol

[@alexandroskel1186]

My first Mortal Kombat was Shaolin Monks and Armageddon , pure nostalgia and awesome times

[@leandrojuegaotros9968]

Me to my friend :D

[@MohamadMohmoudRayan]

It was the best PlayStation 2 game 😢

[@Boxdx2]

Sounds crazy but my first game was mk9 i remember

[@grams18]

I started with MK 3 Ultimate SNES version back then but didn´t plyed every single game after that. Also played "Deadly Alliance, Deception & Armageddon" wich all three are very sick titles. ^^

[@Booga003]

i remember doing the miniature races on armageddon lmao so fun

[@WordSonFoRealz]

These comparison videos are sweet. Loved the Armageddon one.

[@mikeRedMDK2032]

Deadly alliance's still slaps. That music 🔥🔥

[@victorfernandez882]

Best select

[@alkebulanshujaaogun5152]

Just the first 7 games for me. After that the only thing I like is the faster gameplay, that's it. My favorite will always be MK2, pure nostalgia and in my opinion the true MK essence.

[@Uknown291]

facts

[@3takoyakis]

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug

[@ChazzZimmermanMedia]

What you 🚬 ...😂

[@lililing14]

Didn't ask.

[@SeeMeNowJo]

Ehhh not for me ngl but I respect you're opinion because MK and MK3 themes were fire af!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@Seahawkfan1108]

MK II will always tickle the inner nostalgia in me

[@MrEvilkid1]

Armageddon almost had the whole roster on it. Before the following four or five games added 20-30 more characters. I think Armageddon is gold

[@Greenario92]

The voice from Deception was the greatest. this dude sounds awesome!

[@TheAceLewis]

“Mortal kombat 1995 theme but the announcer names every kharacter who has ever been in mortal kombat.”

[@tamagotchiil]

Grandpa voice

[@JARED8946]

Shang Tsung

[@kuru_vtuber]

Mk 3 / trilogy is the best IMO. The graphic looks very real than the others. I still remember playing it on my Sega Megadrive, what a gold time.

[@Googaliemoogalie]

Because they were actor scans till MK4

[@faataualofafiaula6032]

I agree! Definitely my favorite and when trilogy came out it was so fun to play as the masters too hehe

[@subject9669]

Deadly alliance was criminally underreated

[@rafaelpbperezbello2443]

Its more great deception i think

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

My favorite style is X and 1 (the new one) because for some reason I see characters easier being in a horizontal format, like reading a book left to right, rather than having to look all the way down vertical so it makes it easier to see to me. Plus it gives room to show animated characters and such. I've also only played X and 11 since I've only played the modern ones

[@ZetaRho62]

Ever since MK DA the character select screen has alternated between vertical and horizontal

[@marcel0233]

Go play the old ones

[@NaughtiusMaximmus]

Only play the old ones if you want to

[@Baraka_Maracas]

I love the way the announcers up to Armageddon said Baraka. Really made it sound foreign and monstery

[@macabree5856]

LOL yeah I loved how Baraka was announced. Like you said, foreofm and monstery or monastery. Very deep

[@Ben.SK2346]

7:15 I really like Shaolin Monks' announcer's voice. It's my favorite out of all the MK games.

[@spotongaming4943]

It was Steve Ritchie who also did arcade Shao.

[@papasmurf9201]

Its the same guy from 2 and 3

[@JustinArtistry]

I remember playing Mortal Kombat ever since I was 8 years old, which is crazy because I somehow became a fan of Mortal Kombat.

[@Kyllmor]

Deadly Alliance being the most replayed part is real af.

[@Maennerabend99]

I will always love the X version. Cinematic but still keeping it simple. Armageddon for the vibes tho 😊

[@PACNYY]

There's something about that 1992 Mortal Kombat game screen music and voice. Nostalgic at an all-time high. Tekken fans remember this fact "Mortal Kombat is the 🐐of fighting games." 😤.

[@rafaelzavros4391]

Why Tekken fans specifically?

[@SenatorArmstrong2018]

Bro got beef with a better fighting game franchise, I can't-

Wait why are you picking on Tekken fans?😂😂

[@bigballzmcdrawz2921]

Both are good games, I really don't see a reason to bash either franchise overall.

[@tjsullivan1936]

What it’s like playing tekken. Juggle combo, go to the dmv, get some food on the way back, get home, still in a juggle combo. DOA is a better 3d fighter

[@WildDancer101]

Way back then, the developers of the arcade games used what they had for the live action sprites. During the 3D era they got creative yet still are limited with computer graphics. For MK9 NRS really nailed the 3D graphics and went further with it in the next few games.

[@khazakibunny]

I’m a be honest when i say i love Mk1’s character select screen when they start entering the scene. Then after picking your characters they clash elbows or weapons, then after picking a stage either one attacks first and the fight starts on the stage.

Working and busying my ass going out clubbing, fkn doing dumb shit oh man I can go back to those great times! Got into cars started racing and more. Turned 32 and something hit me and I wanted to go back in time…. 😅 well guy’s here I am started mashing buttons in MKX didn’t know wtf I was doing then got into MK11 fun game but scrubby and now we’re in this unfinished still BETA sort of like MK1 🙄. Taking it easy on the game since they need to fix a lot but until then I’ma go build my new PC! Gaming room is almost done LOL can’t believe I’m a kid again in my own gaming room world.
