Saturday Morning Scrublords - Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

[@Iamafishproductions]

"Going somewhere, Joker?" "Batman! I thought you were-" "Thought I was what? Dead? Like my parents you just shot off that cliff?" "I'm...I'm sorry, Bats! Please...don't drop me! Wait, I promise!" "Too late, Joker!" "Wait, you *can't* drop me! You have to uphold the law! You have to arrest me! Wait! Wait! This is brutality, you can't do it!" "Wrong, Joker. This is not a brutality, this is a *HEROIC BRUTALITY!* *Joker makes weird unscripted noises as he falls off the cliff, then gets yanked back by the Bat Grapple*

[@tailedgates9]

AAAAaaaaAaaaAAAaaAAAaaaaAaaaaaaaa......

[@straightMKchamp]

I appreciate that

[@ultramanned]

This is by far the greatest comment I've ever read.....ever

[@lambda494]

I read this comment when I'm having a bad day and it brings me back.

[@Rutskarn]

It's a little thing, but I appreciate how Woolie consistently credits his brother for Rage.

[@DynoDunes]

Because he doesn't want people to figure out that it was really his creation all along...

[@Crazimo]

No one must know that the true origin of Rage begins in the Woolie Hole.

[@Roronoa2zoro]

Maybe he feels bad that he broke the one and only rule of OC creation. "Do not steal"

[@chumunga648]

You mean blames his brother for Rage?

[@thetrueamericandream2673]

Crazimo he spawned in the Woolie Hole like Mileena, sexy bandages and everything

[@Jonadiah13]

I've never seen a game where the in-game models look like they don't want to be there.

[@MukuonChannel]

yeah that pretty much sums it up.

[@MiloKuroshiro]

Almost all Netherealms games... They almost always look bored, with stances that don't make sense

[@goldenxp9404]

MrBowser *screams in MK9 sub zero idle*

[@ItsTheFizz]

MKVSDC may be the red-headed stepchild of the Mortal Kombat franchise, but it blazed the trail for the modern story mode and it did enough sales for Warner Bros. to rescue Netherrealm Studios from Midway's oblivion...

[@Toastybees]

Michael Scally But at what cost!?

[@mcsurge9260]

Michael Scally The only other fighting game story mode that even comes close Netherealms quailty was Subspace emissary. Too bad that Nintendo and/or Sakurai threw a giant piss baby tatrum at people uploading cutscenes to youtube and never made another story mode in smash since.

[@smugalice6206]

BEES AND TOAST At the cost of the MLB Slugfest series.

[@Chadius]

-MK Annihilation saved fighting games in the early 2000s. -MK vs DC saved story based fighting games. What a legacy!

[@efficientexuberance1944]

Unsung heros must remain un SUNG

[@RandoChrisYT]

The day has finally come to relive the most brutal fatality in the Mortal Kombat franchise. Why, Kano, why?

[@Just_Matty]

RandoChris they must be playing the Extreme Australian Uncensored edition

[@DaviddeBergerac]

I honestly had to look away. I've sat through Cannibal Holocaust, Human Centipede 1 AND 2, A Serbian Film, and many many others, but... Kano's fatality may be the most disturbing piece of media I've ever seen.

[@PoisoNico93]

Now I finally understand why media is telling me videogames are making people crazy, how could I have been so blind

[@lambda494]

I think this video got demonetized due to that atrocity.

[@Filhote_deDisgrassa]

THIS KEPT FIGHTING GAMES ALIVE

[@smugalice6206]

Nicxlvs BJJ IT BROKE NEW GROUND!

[@malhekai]

When woolie started reading the fatalities it sounded like a cashier asking your order at a fast food joint. "Do you want the ground slam combo with the kiss of death chips?"

[@sweepingtime]

When Jax shot the camera, that was probably more of a fatality than the actual finishers at the end of fights.

[@oatomsko]

My friend and I bought this game on launch day around 6 in the afternoon. There was another guy returning it while we were there. We returned it the next day. We should have heeded that mans warning.

[@CrimsonMoonM]

Truly, it was a sign.

[@corazonfeathers8116]

Just like the Beyond Two Souls story Matt told us on the first episode...

[@oneyeseesin3D]

To think this lead to MK's resurgence and DC's domination of video games. Boon made a deal with the devil and this game is proof.

[@lightskinnedlarry728]

Throwback to dc had domination over games, this video was like 6 months before Spider-Man ps4 wow

[@DragonfameDracas]

Oh boy! Pg 13 Fatalities!

[@brian.jrmontoya3227]

Hypno-Thorax pg-13 is a little too kind. Kano is straight up G

[@mindshuffler3332]

Hypno-Thorax Horaaay....

[@RippahRooJizah]

I wouldn't mind PG 13 fatalities if they were PG 13 fatalities. Slamming someone into the ground as their legs stick up is freaking looney toons.

[@FallinRobyn]

Except the Joker's. That was TV-14, but got the hard R treatment.

[@Hitherto90]

Isn't it because comic book scrubs would get their panties in a bunch of they saw superheroes die?

[@lozo1006]

You know when you've hit the bottom of the barrel when you pull out stuff that's actually been on store shelves

[@cristinapavani855]

prof odyssey rei e maravilhoso😀😍👌👍👏

[@letthatchildalone7843]

Thanks! I hate it.

[@thepickles8833]

This kept fighting games alive!!

[@toastyguy96]

Thanks doc!

[@bigray-sd2kv]

i do to i first play this win i was 12 summer of 2012 i was only going to play it for short period cuz it sucks i could not turn it off i try to fight it my will power 🔋 was being drain but i had some left to take the game out and took it back to the game store

[@thepickles8833]

Just a reminder: "The Good Life" kickstarter only has 2 weeks left so please donate what you can so we can keep Swery afloat in a world that allows David Cage to continue making trash. Thanks friends.

[@gamerguy6990]

We need more twin peaks games that aren't twin peaks

[@bloodykun4443]

I’d compare it more to something like Wind Waker pictobox on steroids but either way seems fun. Already donated $120 towards physical PS4 reward

[@thqnorthkorea1197]

The Pickles What's it about?

[@thepickles8833]

THQ North Korea It's like a mix between Pokémon Snap and Animal Crossing, I suppose. There's a murder in a small English town and people turn into cats &/or dogs by night. You are a photographer from NY trying to pay down debt and she takes photo quests from villagers, sometimes spying on other villagers. Characters act differently when you're present. You can pick up and drop items anywhere you want and take photos you can post onto the net.

[@amurter19]

I did! Liam always bringun it up in streams got me to remember

[@KeroKaminaX]

oh my god this game is literally a decade old

[@boheyo]

I would've guessed 360 launch title from 2005.

[@MrMastercatfish]

It aged like warm milk

[@sigh824]

No phrase has instantly aged me more

[@ZoomingOut402]

sigh824 Shit, I was already 21 when this game came out

[@RosyTheRascal15]

Now it's 15 years old.

[@4Wilko]

Huh. Lex Luthor's armor bleeds. 23:56 - Video was worth it for this.

[@Shiirow]

just because its armor doesnt mean there isnt meaty bloody flesh underneath

[@tailedgates9]

Fucking Flash. X'D

[@andrei11dr]

Hei Flash was felling just like all of us wen we saw this game for the first time

[@lambda494]

My miiiiiiind! Lilaaaaandraaaaa!

[@ThomasTheLuckyGamer]

It was worth it for Wonder Woman 360 kicking

[@SkynetSpider]

I think i played this Meet N Fuck game yesterday.

[@Keezawea]

this game reminds me how lame the name "Dark Kahn" is.

[@Shiirow]

would you prefer "Shao Seid" ?

[@Valanway]

YES

[@DangerIncFilms]

Or how even more lame THA RAAAAAAAAGEEEE is.

[@Keezawea]

Shiirow i prefer any shit before that lol

[@JustinJTime]

DA RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!

[@ItsMichaelReid]

I wish they would play the story mode of this. Either this or Injustice 2

[@laughingoctopus8556]

or both!

[@0rriAndroid]

Oddly, the beginning of NeatherRealm's redemption

[@slifer875]

no, the redemption started with MK9, before that their last good game was shaolin monks.

[@angelon3637]

You mean this was when they hit rock bottom?

[@ultraspinalki11]

slifer875 you forget that this pile of trash was the first fighting game with an authentic story mode in recent years. In other words, this was the first step to MK9.

[@connorlehnert2994]

Paulo Penado Except for the prior MK games that had a way better story mode?

[@ultraspinalki11]

Connor Lehnert Are you talking about the prior MK games which had still-images for each character's endings in single player? Those were terrible. I'm talking about high quality, full cutscenes with characters interacting with one another. I'm not saying MK VS DC had a good or interesting story, but the quality and effort put into creating its cutscenes was the step to MK9's well-presented story.

[@GenerationWest]

A decade ago, I was mega hyped for this, now looking back, I was a such a dumb shit kid. Fuck, this is 10 years old now...

[@daOriGinooGrapeBeer]

Yup, Woolie answers our collective "why?" at 00:45 smh, chin up my beloved scrublords.

[@yoshara]

From what I remember the saddest thing about this game is that it was for the longest time the best selling fighting game.

[@CaptainDemo779]

8:10 “Nooo, I don’t want to! I don’t care about this video!” - Pat in a Scrublords Nutshell.

[@TheNerdSmash]

And people say art is dead.

[@thepickles8833]

It is. It died with Death Cargo

[@lemeres2478]

yes. This killed it

[@koopakingdom]

You guys are right that most of Finishers are bad but it's weird because I remember some of them are fairly violent for rated T game. Like Kitana's kiss inflates the enemy and they explode leaving behind their skeleton when a bunch of "Fatalities" leave the opponent squirming.

[@LeGareBear]

KoopaKingdom I get weird claustrophobic vibes sometimes so that Green Lantern one bothered the shit out of me

[@damkylan3]

Yeah, Green Lantern's actually pretty brutal. His opponents don't squirm around after getting crushed in that sphere, or getting their torsos smashed in by two hammers. "Heroic Brutality", my ass. Those poor bastards are dead.

[@bigbrowski410]

Wait, they didn’t play this? We got Death Cargo willed into existence, Super Fighter exposed, and Best of Best BEFORE THIS? Truly this is the greatest timeline.

[@TheStrxggler]

*DO IT! DO THE FATALITYYY!*

[@Vertigotrueshot]

Yeah fatality

[@4Wilko]

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

[@tailedgates9]

Yeyeyeye FATALITYYYYYYYY!!!!

[@Celestialbeing21]

COME ON COME O. HURRY UP FATALITEEEEEE... Your mom's hot!!

[@sithstalker770]

FATALYYYYYYYYYYYYYTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[@fakeigniz13]

Scrublords: their 10 year mission to cruise where yo videogames have never been before

[@CaptainDemo779]

There's a moment at 5:44 that i feel sums up this game perfectly. "Oh, my teleport. No????"

[@RadarMunn]

I still remember before MK9 came out I saw this on GameStop’s website and asked my brother to take me to GameStop to get it and the guy said the game wasn’t good and turned me towards vanilla SFIV. Good call GameStop guy. Good call

[@marcogonzalez6915]

You don't know how long I spent in the ,3d model viewer for Sonya when I was a kid

[@marcogonzalez6915]

As a kid I wasn't paying to much attention to her face. if you know what I'm saying

[@TotallyRadicalShow]

Catwoman too, ahh memories.

[@eggheadcobra]

Marco Gonzalez Kitana is the one I looked at the most ;)

[@kirbyalex2002]

My favorite part is the combo hit indicator and damage percentage come in and out of frame like a PowerPoint presentation slide transition

[@Spit1990]

That abrupt disappearance is **chef's kiss**

[@deeta000]

Omg it’s so shit

[@BlueScarabGuy]

Hey, Matt. You mentioned you wanted to do the Injustice 2 story mode. PLEASE DO THIS. DO BOTH INJUSTICE STORY MODES. I WANNA SEE.

[@222CBK222]

Martha Kombat!

[@4Wilko]

DO YOU BLEED?

[@Samm815]

Since when was Batman so religious? I mean "criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot" but not Bruce Wayne.

[@mcsurge9260]

Sam Lucas Isn't Batman best friends with the daughter of Zeus a.k.a Wonder Woman.

[@BIaziken2]

WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!?

[@mister_redgrave]

Matt yelling at Liam's ghost still always gets to me.

[@brian.jrmontoya3227]

You guys can just...play the Injustice 2 dlc. It’s a better game, has Raiden and Sub Zero........it’s not painful. Also, the MK characters look SIGNIFICANTLY better than the DC characters. It’s really weird. 26:08, pat, I know you have an illogical hate boner for Superman, but he’s been doing the freeze thing far longer than Sub Zero.

[@JIA-yq8pj]

Brian. Jr Montoya that's why this is a Scrublords episode, not a Fisticuffs

[@anonemoose8628]

AND the Ninja Turtles!

[@brian.jrmontoya3227]

Anon Emoose don’t forget about hellboy.

[@brian.jrmontoya3227]

J IA yeah true

[@barcey]

And yet Injustice 2 still references this game.

[@Icarus2063]

I am so glad they got the Kano "fatality". I laughed my ass of Pat's dumbfounded reaction. XD

[@snekyboi2100]

When they pick Kano, internal thoughts are like: please tell me that Kano is gonna roll fatality on the screen. That shit is the shit.

[@omgcandy16Kimicari0]

immortal line "no one demanded the fuck"

[@zaneseibert]

Wonder Woman's hurricane kick looks worse than the ones from Dong Dong. Let that sink in.

[@dibblelibble1734]

8:51 DOES ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THAT HITBOX??? watch it in slow motion to see what i mean if you have trouble noticing it.

[@MCCastle7]

Wow, I can't believe this video ends with Pat murdering Woolie on camera.

[@donaldtaylor2494]

20:54 The most brutal fatality in the series

[@MrRatchet015]

And because of this Crappy game now we have Injsutices Series and a New MK Series, and Ed Boom says "we never gonna talk about a MK Vs DC game in ours lifes"

[@SteelBallRun1890]

There's nothing Heroic about the Brutality in which we are about to receive...

[@thepickles8833]

more brutal than Drahmin though?

[@SteelBallRun1890]

You know what's screwed? Zack Snyder-verse DC would've been a better fit in a Mortal Kombat game than this.

[@thepickles8833]

What about in the Rob Schneider-verse?

[@helicopteroctopus6543]

Rohan Kishibe and 『Heaven's Door』 Yeah do it Superman! Snap Shang Tsung’s neck!

[@Cartoonguy133]

What about MCU vs. Capcom Infinite?

[@fredericbaldwin6732]

I refuse to buy a single yellow garment because of this "Black and yellow" character design trend.

[@juniorjunior5884]

Frederic Baldwin I just happen not to like yellow, so I'm fine.

[@jdtheba9171]

On the bright side, this gave us partrick seitz as scorpion and Richard epcar as raiden and joker. So this game was worth it

[@suddenllybah]

Jonathan Almanza Joker is still Luke.

[@Cartoonguy133]

Patrick Seitz also voiced Deathstroke in this game.

[@alexrelvinhas3452]

The Best Friends must be stoned again

[@alexrelvinhas3452]

27:34

[@jerrymcghoulberry355]

Happy 4/20!

[@AgelessObsession]

I waited the entire video for them to find the Wonder Woman spin. I was not disappointed.

[@NotAGoodUsername360]

Ah yes, the only MK game that is IMPROVED by not knowing how to do the fatalities...

[@devanmuse]

Honestly surprised it took them this long to get to this one.

[@b.blobbentein5774]

I think ending this video with coochcopter is a flawless decision. I can't see it ending any other way

[@jordanwebb1543]

The fact that Liam is missing from the intro still cracks me up

[@AkinNath]

jordan Webb the Benoit treatment

[@poego6045]

I'll never understand why they censored the fatalities in this game, considering DC is all about being edgy and gorey in their main line comics.

[@thepassingstatic6268]

I know I'm late, but when this game came out, DC wasn't allowing their characters to get the full Kano or SZ fatality experience, so this was the best they could do. So thank god this got the reaction it did, or theres a good chance Injustice doesn't exist

[@Nightwing1933]

Darkseid and shao kahn are separate unlockable characters you get from beating the MK and DC side storylines respectively, as at the end Darkseid is stuck in the MK universe and banished to the neatherrealm and Shao kahn in the DC universe is locked away in the phantom zone

[@slifer875]

Dark arbsortion is the greatest move in figthing game history, change my mind.

[@Th3SmartAlec]

*Scorpion's mask falls off* Slade: "You have a skull face too?!"

[@SmarkusAurelius]

Just got back into MK for no discernable reason, revisiting the old games and then this video drops. What sort of spooky chinese space magic is this?

[@rememberamnesia1995]

My god.. I've been waiting years for them to suffer through this.. Love you, guys!

[@ruggedlemmings9163]

"I'm going to pick someone whose moves I might know." "No you're not." xD

[@RS-mu3ci]

Black men in Yellow was even a thing in a lot of the Midway games too. Gauntlet comes to mind

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

You wanna talk about an Injustice? This game exists. ... Tip your waitresses.

[@TorraShinjiro17]

*clap clap clap*

[@Jslicer13]

Yes just yes, one of the first xbox 360 games I ever... "experieneced"? I had bad friends in 5th grade

[@ultrayoshi100]

This and sf4 got me into fighting games. Oh dear

[@Jslicer13]

I just had the chance to play this and MW2 at a shitty friend's house, I just wanted to play Lego Batman DBZ Budikai Tenkaichi 3 was my first fighting game

[@ultrayoshi100]

This wasnt my first fighting game(tekken tag 1 is childhood memories) but this is the one that i tried to get good at and play online

[@spitfireohone]

You take this off the Scrublords right now. It belongs in Fighterpedia!

[@TheNorcals]

God I remember my uncle printing out a move list for this game. Man, those were the days.

[@MissAshley42]

So, if Baraka falls asleep on his back in the rain, will he drown?

[@bulletprooflfo7421]

I shit you not: This was the first Mortal Kombat game since Armageddon on the PS2, and goooooood lord what a rough way to be reintroduced into the series. Edit: Watching this has triggered some form of PTSD because I cAN FEEL THE GAME BEING PLAYED AND IT DOESN'T FEEL GOOD.

[@DangerIncFilms]

30:08 I guess we know what happened to Woolie’s cabinet

[@sawysauce1256]

YES! YES! YES! Do the injustice 2 story mode like Matt said!

[@Rayqauzay]

They better play Injustice 1 or read the comics, so they aren't questioning everything

[@sokumotanaka9271]

Now this is the scrublords I sold my soul for!

[@lemeres2478]

this is the scrub lords that I sold someone else's soul for!

[@ruancarlo2098]

This is the scrublords i'd sell for more time on the clock

[@-TPLT]

The real fatality was -the friends we've made along the way- when Jax shot up the cameraman.

[@blue6sub6remnant6]

I got myself one of the tasty, big cookies from the grocery near work to have during tonight's Fisticuffs. A Scrublords, eh good enough. At least the cookies weren't forgotten.

[@mikeharris2952]

23:56 - That should’ve been the thumbnail!

[@Billyshears1909]

“You’re just ghetto sub-zero!!- pat 💀

[@tailedgates9]

God those fucking loading screens. Now I can't stop thinking about Flash shouting "MY MIIIIIIND!!!"

[@wedoit2861]

Pat, after landing two hits of what's basically a three hit AC: "Ooh, I figured out a combo...."

[@BigALBoomer]

Pat raging about this game was comedy gold

[@starman545]

FRIDAY EVENING SCRUBLORDS AGAIN

[@mindshuffler3332]

Thank god Injustice turned out so well to make up for this shit.

[@Imasuky]

I want full story mode LP!

[@theycallmejojo6090]

reminder that this is canon to the injustice universe

[@AzureKing963]

CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG Who's to say everyone in-universe wanted to forget this ever happened like we did in the real world?

[@LUNITUNZBackup]

One? There's multiple dialogues suggesting this game is canon. Raiden asks Flash if he rememebers their last encounter, and he doesn't know what he's talking about, however in another he goes "oh no, not again!" when he sees Raiden, Sub-Zero reminds Joker of joining gainst Dark Khan, Darkseid mentions meeting Raiden previously and Raiden realizes he was Dark Khan. Batman thanks Subby and Raiden for "coming back." Catwoman tells Sub-Zero "fancy meeting you here," which is an incredibly familiar greeting. And those are the ones I remember off the top of my head. Long story short, this game is basically canon.

[@LUNITUNZBackup]

All told, Injustice 2's about Multiverses, as evidenced by a Raiden mirror where one says Liu Kang and Kitana rules Edenia in his verse as opposed to the Netherrealm in the other ones. Which oddly would also place I2 after MKX.

[@IllMatic97]

LUNITUNZBackup not Canon

[@LUNITUNZBackup]

RajOfColumbus totally canon

[@andros1486]

Wonder Woman has ideal animations. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

[@LeeONardo]

So glad they got Kano's fatality, it's the best one xD

[@UltimateOmegaRed]

23:38 "A perfect summary for this game!"

[@RarelyMichael]

Good old reliable Friday Night 'Saturday Morning Scrublords' right on time...

[@alexcruz3043]

Learning how to be good at this game in my youth had poisoned my ability to learn how to play better fighting games for years.

[@TheLazyShell]

Pat's line to Woolie about Reboot at the end cracked me up.

[@Spit1990]

Seeing that first stage made me realize that they haven't even tried since this game as far as water effects.

[@Mr.Spongecake]

This video still doesn't explain one thing: How does Pat make it onto that couch?

[@kovulion7777]

After watching Wha Happun, good to see this once more

[@stenzel27]

You guys have to revisit Injustice 2 now that all the DLC characters are out!

[@Gojiro7]

what we didn't get to see after the recording stopped was Wollie ripping Pat's salty spinal cord out after that Reboot insult at the end, he then put it back in but not after taking a few columns out, and thats now the canon reason for Pats shortness XD

[@ixiahj]

That first fatality they managed to do, it didn't even kill Sonya. Her feet were still moving.

[@eggboy9126]

This game's visuals look hella unfinished, and not just because it's a last gen game.

[@thehighbutwise5644]

I fucking love the fisticuffs and scrublords intros.

[@HeavyWeight208]

It's a Weed-mas miracle!

[@admiralpepper6933]

*(In a nasally tone)* Heeeeey, you put your diet finishers in _MY_ fatalities!

[@Grabehn42]

For a second I read "DC" and thought "Why is Injustice a Scrublords video?" and then read the title properly, and realised I completely forgot this game existed.
