Mortal Kombat's PERFECT Spinoff Game | Shaolin Monks

[@stupid90able]

This game is the reason why Kung Lao is one of my favorite MK characters. He was a monster in this game

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Right! The story even made him the cool one compared to Liu Kang

[@craignewsome2058]

Exactly why Kung Lao became one of my favorites. Then every game after they started to clown him more and more😭

[@zigfaust]

Yep. I remember being bummed my older bro made me pick Kung Lao at first but over the course of the game both story wise and move kit wise (tp kick infinite combo) he became my favorite.

[@TheIkranRider]

Same! This was what made me a Kung Lao fan for life!

[@ivansylva9244]

Same here!

[@larserik8899]

Worst thing that happened to the human race was mk fire and ice getting canceled when midway shut down

[@miclo_ssx]

Worse than 9/11

[@thebloodypariah]

The man's back with the best mk game.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Wooooo

[@sergiodbd]

🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@baileyterry3775]

Armageddon bro

[@Naucturna]

Lol Armageddon isn't even in top 3 best MK games, that's crazy you think so.

[@TheIkranRider]

You said it! Especially on how much of the failure MK1 is!

[@markt9608]

I cant understand why they haven’t remastered this game. Me and my brother played this religiously 😂

[@DraculaTepes420]

Netherrealm needs to understand it'd make bank if they did remaster it, if they have the rights to it 🤷

[@EvanHelblingYT]

I'd be first in line for that after playing this

[@markt9608]

And I would be second lmao

[@ShockSoWavy]

I ll be the third

[@awehornet]

Me too!

[@jorgecepeda9672]

i still play this game today and its still amazing to me the story driven nature of this game really got me into mortal kombat

[@brooklynbred1460]

Downloaded it to my tablet amazing

[@justinromamo466]

The crash bandicoot spin sound 👌🏼 spot on.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thanks haha the crash sounds were neglected by me for way too long

[@xThunderxWolfx]

​@@EvanHelblingYT Crash reviews when?

[@basixs88]

My favorite mortal Kombat game ever, I love kung laos exclamations, particularly the one that sounds like "babyyyyyy", although it's actually said "daybere"

[@TheCandyIsGood]

The punchlines and deliveries are so satisfying and hilarious.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

thankyou v much sir

[@MikeBreezy94]

Bro all you do is cover heat 🔥 This game was the sickest thing to me when it came out!

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Bro I referenced the tattletale strangler in the video 😂 Your pfp might have influenced me

[@FungusUnited]

nice pfp

[@MikeBreezy94]

⁠@@EvanHelblingYT now I’m part of the Evan extended universe. It’s now a canon event!

[@FungusUnited]

wait your the official strangler from spongebob the real deal?@@MikeBreezy94

[@tranquilk5912]

Also the voice over for this game was sick whenever he calls out the names or the "excellent/outstanding/superb"

[@bigsanrio]

Hello fellow portals!

[@Ya-Boi-Phil]

Speaking as a portal, thank you for covering the best MK game there is.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

I appreciate u brotha, portal gang

[@tmk87154]

this game was awesome. it was fun to play with my brother cooperatively

[@LCyte88]

The Netherrealm..... A Certified Hood Classic 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@EvanHelblingYT]

😁😂

[@trophychaserrr]

Yesterday I was thinking to myself “Evan drops every month or so but it’s worth the wait because of the presentation and jokes”. So I have no problem waiting for these videos you’re the best youtube i’ve seen in a long time. keep it goin my guy

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Haha thankyou my guy. Gonna try for every 3 weeks or less goin forward. I appreciate ya big time 🤘

[@CoralCopperHead]

That Quan Chi piece you did in High School is pretty damn good. I like it too.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thankyou my man 😁

[@danktrouble1490]

Me and my bro used to rock this game to no end! Thank you for dropping this nostalgia bomb 😊

[@EvanHelblingYT]

love to hear that man, thankyou!

[@CROWNED99]

america also dropped this nuclear bomb on hiroshima and nagasaki

[@OGbornsinnerz]

This was the first mk game I ever played growing up this what got me into the series. I’m glad it’s getting the praise it’s deserves

[@grindycore3438]

Top tier entertainment as always,love your vids dude!

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thankyou as always dude! 🤘

[@joshnayagam6258]

Man I had a shit day but new video on an mk game cheered me up🙏

[@EvanHelblingYT]

happy to hear that brotha!

[@Wickyx]

The goat has returned 😭🙏

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Yes! 🥹🤘

[@deeplibyan8917]

This video made my day This is my childhood

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thankyou lad, love to hear that

[@nono9543]

I wish they made another of these.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Right, they can’t just throw Quan Chi at the end without continuing

[@MoreBrainz]

That drawing is sick props man

[@shaneaguon3965]

Please keep uploading, you’re literally one of the gaming entertainment gems on KZbin

[@brandonjenkins2836]

If there was a game that needed a remake or remaster, it's this one.

[@KennySoto]

One of your best videos. You’re getting better with these productions.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thankyou! I’m workin on gettin the formula down, so I appreciate that

[@jonathandoe2316]

This 9, Deception, and trilogy are the best. 12:38 😂 got u your thumbs up.

[@drakelionheart2778]

This is a throw back! I remember playing through this one growing up! Keep up the awesome work man!

[@EvanHelblingYT]

a great one at that! Thankyou man!

[@channonlucas-desmond]

Completely forgot i played this game! I borrowed it from a friend! Wasn't really into MK games, but i enjoyed this one!

[@merciful_poseidon]

My dude your editing kills me 😂

[@jonih1794]

Evan, your humour is simply incredible. The timing, the soundbytes, the purposefully flat jokes, it's absolutely genius. Please keep making videos, much love ❤

[@zeinzz1906]

It is criminal on how little videos about gameplay, story, and just simple analyst about this game. People talking about Mk Deception having the best free roam story mode which is so not true. Me and my friends always believe that this is THE MK GAME and not the 1v1 clasic fighting game. This is one of the Ps 2 Masterpiece

[@zeinzz1906]

Plus the fact that every new MK games has not put some of the Mk Shaolin Monks fatality as a freaking homage fatality in game is so dissapointing. Imagine Kung Lao just beating you with rabbit on Mk1 😂

[@valentinom.4292]

@@zeinzz1906 I mean, this is not "free roamming". Deception's konquest is like a whole side game inside of a fighting game, wich is a lot.

[@Daytek90210]

Oh man this is one amazing upload, please keep it up Evan!!❤ Edit: 2:27 Evans cat is a Portal confirmed

[@EvanHelblingYT]

thankyou so much! Yeah he had to represent haha

[@djtoxicdhg]

I remember spending so much time with my childhood. Best friend playing this game every time he'd come over and we'd have a sleepover. Or something we would be playing mortal combat, shall in monks.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

That’s what it’s all about 🫡

[@hydroking619]

I loved this game when I was a kid

[@devonstoomuch]

i just found your channel a few days ago & its right up my alley. i love me some video essays about video games.

[@imgoingtodisneyland]

Legit man this guy is hilariously epic good jokes etc

[@BuzzsRoom]

these PS2 MK games are so wild, good stuff dude!

[@EvanHelblingYT]

So much good lore here haha, thankyou dude!

[@maudlinfaust]

Holy hell, I never see anyone talk about this game. Me and my best friend 100%ed this game more than once as literal children. I’ve just realised how cool it is that we still play co-op games as adults. Thanks for this man, I shall sub

[@benjiewoods4865]

This game slapped so hard, i was lucky enough to have a friend to play coop with. It was so addictive he stayed at my house for three days and we slept like 4 hours and did it on all 4 characters… the good ole days

[@arkwrightdubstep]

Ah, a fellow "spam the same moves that seem to have worked for the last 6 hours" enthusiast, very good tactic sir, very good.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thankyou my good fellow 🤝

[@dasdiesel3000]

"Talk about a spin-off video game" was my favorite from this one. 😂 Always really enjoy your stuff. Thanks for making it!

[@tomashley8643]

What a time to be alive.

[@Coughington]

This was easily one of the three best mortal Kombat videos I've ever seen

[@nobody-kp5co]

Evan I love how you cover games so passionately... I was wondering if you could do a video on one of my most favorite PS2 games that is very underrated. There's a few videos on it but none of them do it justice. Please consider playing it and making a video about it! The game is Death By Degrees

[@SGTHedrick]

Another banger video! Shaolin monk was a big part of my childhood.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thankyou, I wish I played more than the demo back then!

[@muhammadabubakr720]

This was the first Mortal Kombat that I played and also my most favourite. Me and my younger brother used to play CO-OP all the time.

Evan posting has got to be my favorite holiday of all time ever. Doesn't matter what game he's covering he'll always make it interesting and fun to watch

[@deathdanny134]

best friend and I were play this every day with chess kombat and motor kombat breaks. The MK spin off games and mini games is what I miss most about the xbox days

[@exilion3743]

A game way ahead of its time. I played it so many times as a kid on my ps2

[@saiff1k]

hands down one of the best MK games ever created - played this religiously when I was a kid - favourite character to use was Scorpion cos of the combo’s you could hit people with - I also remember you could do cheat codes in the start menu to unlock characters without actually finishing the game - seeing this now as adult makes me want to play it again for old times sake…

[@saiff1k]

does anyone know how I can play this again ? the only console I have is a PS5…

[@HamanKarn567]

Love your puns. One of the best game review channels hands down. Also.some of the coolest intros.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Hahah thankyou my man

[@aidgang]

[@bushwhookie1334]

Truly is the best mk game need to remake this or part two

[@angryscorp2684]

it even had optional bosses like ermac and you could play as sub zero and scorpion. Man these videos just show me how good the ps2 era of gaming was
