Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe was a Mistake

[@tgtkai]

This _____ was a mistake title actually works this time! Even though I still kind of enjoyed this game Real talk I think an MK vs Injustice could absolutely be the game we all wanted this to be and I hope they give it another shot eventually

[@axelhunter321]

how about "Mortal Kombat 9, X & 11 was a Mistake" video, l need it, that would be sick.

[@Surpear]

I loved playing mortal kombat x when it came out, we need a video on it, even if the story kide sucks a bit.

[@workingman9019]

How is sex appeal problematic? Should the Flash be fat because of sex appeal? I'm so tired of ppl saying you can't have female sex appeal! If you want it to be even make the women homely and the men with guts.

[@Pgityu30]

This is mk x injustice, this is in the injustice universe batman and joker have diolauge towards Raiden and sub zero in injustice 2

[@zerosunthegamer8740]

Raiden definitely could take down the entire watchtower, but he'd need to consult the elder gods

[@Liematoad]

I would reply to this but "I must consult with the elder gods"

Why does Raiden always consult the elder gods? Seems like everyone else does whatever they want even if it’s forbidden by the elder gods lol

[@DragoSonicMile]

The concept wasn't the mistake. It was the execution.

[@Darth-vade123]

Agreed also the main villain sucked and so did Kahn and darkseid this is the worst Midway Kahn and mk9 and m1k have better versions mk11 is only a little worse

[@OfficiallyChloe]

If they remaster this game and add more characters I feel like it’ll be a good game

[@Veningast]

It was gonna have dlc butt Midway went into bankruptcy so that didnt happen

[@sahzus]

And give us ACTUAL fatalities. They do that, they’ll get my money

[@typhlosion7872]

As unlikely as it is, I don't see it as an impossible task. I mean, WB does own both DC and Neatherrealm studios. On top of that, Neatherrealm has made the Injustice games as well. Mortal Kombat x Injustice, as unlikely as it is, theoretically could happen

[@Veningast]

@@typhlosion7872 it was going to have quan chi johney cage and if i dont remember it wrong Harley Quinn

[@awesomemazda04]

I wanted them to add Mileena (MK9 model). That’s all I asked

[@bfeldz1023]

Fun fact about Superman. He actually does know some martial arts. Not only has he trained with Batman and Wonder Woman, but he has also mastered two of the major martial arts of Krypton, Torquasm Rao and Torquasm Vo.

[@Riggs_The_Roadie]

And more importantly, Muhammad Ali.

[@theimprovedbore550]

iirc torquasm rao is literally just the same thing as ultra instinct

[@calebgadison167]

Thanks for pointing that out. Most people think Superman is a brawler when he actually knows how to use different fighting styles/techniques.

[@TheEmperorOfViltrum]

@@calebgadison167I will say that I can’t blame them as Superman fights beings where the usage of fighting style’s basically becomes useless and brawling is needed

[@massgunner4152]

​@@calebgadison167too bad he hardly has use for them since he is so strong

[@lightgunmaster]

Richard Epcar did the Joker's voice in this one. And He was casted for him in the other NRS games with him in it. He's also Raiden.

[@Takejiro24]

The man has RANGE! They sound nothing alike, that's really impressive!

[@20piecemcchicken93]

the biggest mistake was having no Johnny cage

[@BakerBShdifat]

He was too cool for this lame mk game(that's what I tell myself every day)

[@Ave-true-Caesar]

Yeah it would been cool if Johnny was in the game

[@Angrymonkey2489]

And yet Johnny Cage was the MK original character.. the nut punch would be awesome!

[@Angrymonkey2489]

What would his fatalities be in this game? - A super nut punch that they fall over and die. - The infamous foot to their chest.

[@mrdgenerate]

I never even noticed. I love MK but I played exclusively DC characters lol played MK characters a thousand times already.

[@darksydexv2637]

To give Joker's VA props, you'll have to thank Raiden Yeah! Same VA as Raiden, which is hilarious and amazing

[@chimpo961]

Even if it was a mistake, the story itself was quite interesting, although it is considered Canon as a forgotten timeline, and they were close to make an animated movie of Mortal Kombat vs. DC universe which I'm kind of glad It didn't happen since WB themselves did not want like everyone's favorite DC icons to become killers even though they are but just their variants from different realities, then again I wonder how it would play out but I don't expect it's going to happen

[@rrockstarrj]

Scorpions "fire abilities" isn't just fire it's hellfire which is basically like celestial fire 😂

[@jtdevera1189]

He's an Asian Ghost Rider

[@PatrickMenesesYTOfficial4945]

Make them a duo now you have supernatural bounty hunters.

[@Iwillone]

I still really like this game and want to see the look of the MK cast here as skins.

[@benjaminbasgall9114]

"This is before Baraka was a top-" "Excuse me??" *chokes on drink "Tier" "Oh. Yeah, that makes more sense"

[@user-dy9nr9yg4o]

I was playing the MK11 story mode and all Kano did was Kano ball and I was struggling as Johnny.

[@smaaron_j_46]

That’s what he did to me in MKX as Sonya 😂

[@MusicianNrd]

4:47 You forgot to let this scene play, where Scorpion confuses Batman with Sub-Zero, like Frost did with Taven in Mortal Kombat Armageddon

[@kendallmajor1104]

This was my first Mortal Kombat game, i loved it as a kid lol

[@Scooma_Dealer65]

This was my introduction to the mortal kombat franchise

[@ItsTheFizz]

MKvsDC was definitely hobbled by DC's Standards and Practices (ironic considering they were doing Blackest Night, an ultra-violent event comic where revenants of Dead DC characters were enslaved by an exiled God of Death [Huh... Sounds familiar] at the same time) but there's no denying its story mode was an important step in the evolution of fighting games...

[@axelhunter321]

2:56 - oh dude, l forgot catwoman's VA is literally baiken from guilty gear strive, so, it is same voice actor from fighting games.

[@TrollDecker]

Joker was voiced by Richard Epcar (Also the voice of Raiden) iirc?

[@Acnologia-r3g]

20:42 he does tho He's a master in kryptonian martial arts and trained by both batman and wonderwoman

[@Ender0214]

Idk about anyone else, but forcing a fight for the sake of a fight is really annoying. Like yea, sure, in this instance there’s an excuse with the rage. But stuff like Kano casually showing up like he didnt just walk between 2 people who were fighting, him picking a fight with Shang Tsung, and Raiden starting a fight with Sub-zero were all so ridiculous to me

[@PewPewShootEmUp]

This is like the first instance of a fighting game having a cinematic story

[@miralda73]

The first game that made me wonder why there was Marvel at DC before the Captain changed his name to Shazam 😂

[@sasquatch.8]

9:22 that’s why they gotta nerf sub-zero in mk1

[@אורוידןפלד-י3ק]

16:13 to be fair that's only because there is no universe in which the joker fights fair.

[@FoxeralArt]

3:15, to be fair I'm completely cool with the DC characters having their "bare essentials" designs tbh because after seeing the designs they made for Injustice... yeah I'll take this shit any day. 💀

[@monochromemann]

Fun fact: this was the last MK game Midway made before they shut down, everything after this was NRS.

[@Benji568]

Richard Epcar (the OG voice for Raiden) voices the Joker in this. He reprised the role in both Injustice games and the MK11 Joker DLC.

[@skanknoir2508]

2:10 problematic for the "modern audience" and game journalists

[@TheBigJizz]

The body physics when Cat Woman ran away from Kano, got a young me sweating

[@typhlosion7872]

This game was absolutely terrible, but I love it. The first Mortal Kombat game I wver played and what made me interested in the series in the first place. Even despite the countless flaws the game has, I can't help but has a soft spot full of nostalgia for it. I love a shitty game and I'm not afraid to admit it

[@Valek4204]

Why did i have a feeling that you were gonna play this next lol

[@unofficialmajima617]

12 year old pfp

[@AnimatedTerror]

I’d visit my dad every other weekend when I was a wee little lad. I’d spend the night Friday and Saturday. There’s a short list of games that we’d play all the time. Halo 3. Ultimate alliance. Mario kart 64. Smash bros 64. A few others too, but for whatever reason, we owned this. I’d always pick Baraka because hitting b would have his blades pop out (deathstroke too but 7 year old me thought baraka was cooler) I would do this because they dealt a ton of damage and no one could really stop me. Neither of us were really good at fighting games so he’d never be able to get me out of a combo. Eventually he’d start picking baraka too and it would quickly devolve into a sweaty button mashing slap fight. Another thing was the way the announcer said Barakas name when you chose him. My dad would wait for the announcer to say it and then he’d say, in as close to the voice as he could, “Obama”. For whatever reason it bother me because it felt like he wasn’t taking it seriously. Because child me was taking it deadly serious. He also deliberately would wait for me to come over to progress through the games story mode. Once we had both darkseid and shao Kahn unlocked he starting playing as them and eventually got really good as Kahn. For whatever reason his move set managed to counter my baraka blade spam. Anyway. Sorry for the tangent. This game isn’t very good but I hold it close to my heart. It reminds me of my dad and the few times I’d get to see him as a kid. I still see him now and then but my job and school makes it harder than ever to find time. Next time I go to his place I’m gonna fish this out and play it with him. Thanks for the throwback.

[@Felonious_monk]

In my eyes, this game had so much potential but with it being a Teen rating and the poor lines and goofy cutscenes, it makes this game as bad as it is. Wasted potential

[@tetsuosoprano7382]

In Identity Crisis, Deathstroke intercepted the Flash’s movements and made him run into his sword.

[@Dinoman-mo7mt]

He also hit Zatana in the liver before she could cast a spell and choked out Black Canary, who is also a master at combat, before she could use her Canary Cry

All that I remember about this game, is that the flash based web page for it had better graphics and style than the actuall game.

[@AnonTheMonitor]

In Theory Dark Kahn could work as a Fusion but take the "Randomly give people Rage to just fight for no reason" ability away and give him some Unique powers if possible. Really wish there was an Official Mortal Kombat & Dc Comic Elseworlds Story or something like it kinda like Marvel Nemesis Rise of the Imperfects which Surprisingly had a Comic run that was Canon to It's Game.

"The Mightiest Warriors in all the realms" Nah you're overhyping it Raiden. That team would include more Sindels and Rains and a lot less Kanos.

[@sparkyfolf9487]

Captain marvel was a DC character but DC had to rename him to Shazam because Marvel used the name for the captain marvel movie. Disney would get mad over DC using a character with the same name.

To this game’s credit, it got me into Mortal Kombat and DC as a middle schooler.

If they redid this game, I'd prefer if they used the Crime Syndicated instead of the Justice League, then you could get away with Batman killing

[@deathcold_longplaysua4846]

If I had any of two consoles from that era, MK vs DC would be the first game that I would actually play. Because, it wasn't on PC, which is a shame, and I could not play it. And I could not afford Xbox 360 or PS3, so I only had to watch full playthrough of this game on YT. But how it actually feels and is it that bad as everyone said. That I will not know until I play this game by myself. But I can't sadly.

[@OGDynasty]

I enjoyed this game as a kid. I loved it.

[@Machete87]

they are still technical doin it where DC n MK is still guest fighting in opposite games.

[@adamdavis1737]

Not going to lie I played the hell out of this game. I don't think it's as bad as people say, however it does sit low on the franchise rankings if I'm to think about my favorites. Honestly my biggest complaint was things like the lack of alternate skin / costumes for people. I think the DC roster could have been a little bit better with their selections, but this allowed me to play out some really nerdy fantasy matchups. I liked the novelty in that. Sure it wasn't as gory as the last games, however if you were to compare it to the original three games it kind of isn't far off from those, it's probably on the same level as Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 to some extent. So it almost kind of felt like a little bit of a throwback there. I think one thing that this game didn't need was the 3D fighting space. I found myself very rarely actually maneuvering around other characters and when you just kind of played it as if it was a 2D fighter it felt pretty solid. However this is most definitely a game for casuals, it's more about the silliness and the spectacle rather than a really well-balanced fighting game. And a lot of really cool things came from this game. The intricate cinematic story modes that nether realm is known for started here, and then obviously it helped pave the way for the injustice series.

[@davanime877]

I like how MK VS DC almost tried to be like a "Midway VS DC Universe" just like how Capcom and Marvel did

[@tylercoon1791]
