[LanceIgor]

OMG, dude, shut up about West Coast already. You are worse than Ali G.

[zelda143]

The game barely came out when they did the tournament. I don't see why everyone is saying they suck; most people weren't that good when the game just came out.

[Khnum666]

This video came out like 5 days after release... of course they're not amazing.

[scorpian676]

Wow they suck ass I could beat both in 30 sec!!!! Dislike!

[gr8n8m8]

Honestly i think i could beat both Aris and RiP :x

[ThaCVirus]

@gr8n8m8 idk about that but you have to remeber these guys baely played this game at the time

[metalbeaner0124]

Bro rip is garbage >.>

[PepsifiedDoom]

Aris is good. That scrub rip is trash! !

[PepsifiedDoom]

Rip a bitch. Push forward scrub.

[AbyssalTorment58]

[MAIDENMETALHEAD1995]

@Stiffman001 DUDE. LOOK AT THE DATE THIS VID CAME OUT. 5 days after it came out. Fucking tard ass.

[Stiffman001]

This is one of the boringest videos i have ever seen...... whatever happened to dashblock.... fuking noobs. And hu chooses scorpian????

[yanih7]

The guy playing as Smoke really needs to learn how to play as him.

[afghanibolt]

this krazybone guy sounds stupid as fuck.

[afghanibolt]

his um.... and ummm.. uppercut ummmm.. and he did ummmm.... a teleport ummmm

[9SAWYER]

tekken players make the worse M.K.9 players this is pretty cool but i think Tom Brady ..n..Justin wong own them ...street fighters make this game look cooler ..more fast action ...play ..

[rch3579]

I really think they should put some sort of patch on Scorpion's hell fire.

[Mykieroz]

I wanted Hagrid to win :(

[Clearfuls]

RiP turtles so much

[TheNicomoCosca]

@Clearfuls Thats why now he uses noob :P

[Ancliame]

I swear i lov everytime bone trying to talk this guy intrupts him bones' like tryin so hard to hold his tounge lmao had to say that;P..

[Leonard2311]

1st 2:25 2nd 13:03 3rd 20:18 4th 25:10

[Frikkindavid]

Rip sucks dick.

[CalrissianRain]

[MrMadden613]

RIP IS FUCKING TRASH block special upercut ahahahahahhahaha no skill at all fuckin no life looser go shave u fat fuck

[VeryNegative1]

[xlewlewx]

RIP is lame

[valiotov]

This Noob was an absolute noob!

[Parvie]

crazybone absolutely sucks.

[peppy619]

RiP does the same trick all the time..that's not impressive.. bad bad gamer

[bizonmaciej]

anyone know what kind of control RiP is using?

[BlindfireGuitar]

@bizonmaciej Is he the big hairy one or the other guy?

[bizonmaciej]

@BlindfireGuitar hairy one, looks like a dreamcast controller? (i stopped playing after consoles after dreamcast btw)

[BlindfireGuitar]

@bizonmaciej Looking at it I reckon it's just a normal black Xbox controller. (No wonder he played so badly, hahaha)

[bizonmaciej]

@BlindfireGuitar oh man it is too, i didnt know the colour scheme it had for balck

[donnibrasko1]

i don't know if it's the game, or the players but this game just does't impress me!!1 visually yes but mechanically no!

[jdkjkjdkjdks]

if you're commentating a match, comment on the fucking match. jeez, these commentators are awful.

[anddudewaslike]

lol, "strong Kano balls" at 8:15

[Vegito927]

That smoke player had sick combos

[polobear1975]

RiP is kinda sexy...just sayin

[joshuax298]

i like the intro music off mk2 sounds sick to the intro to the tourney

[123DwyaneWade456]

Would anyone recommend this game for me?

[BrokenNeck19]

@123DwyaneWade456 get it now or I will have to kill you. This game is amazing in my opinion.

[walk0nwalls]

Good lord, tournament ready or whatever, this game's button check system is definitively NOT ready for the big time. Yeesh.

[BlindfireGuitar]

Lui Kang vs Lui Kang = the sound of twenty cats tied together in a tumble drier.

[marcocevat]

@BlindfireGuitar fuck liu kang and kung lao, overpowered characters for the underskilled players.

[BlindfireGuitar]

@marcocevat Lui Kang is distinctly mid-tier in this game. Also Kung Lao has had the shit nerfed out of him since this video so he is no great shakes anymore either.

[Torianflanagan731]

It's not called coast to coast.. it's called "Riding the dragon".(Referring to liu's combo ride)

[LambOfGodFn]

this is lagless online play LMAO

[tSSDestroyer]

announcing skills [ ]

[Anfmethodjor]

That noob player sucks! sorry.

[mansuru]

@Anfmethodjor Nice pun on the character, dude.

[Anfmethodjor]

@mansuru ;)

[Anfmethodjor]

8:10 One of of the best fatalities I've seen. Ever!

[xxdummyfreshful]

that dude with scorpion was full of shit he sucked dick

[elgamer95]

that guy playing with scorpion really sucks! i mean, c´mon what's the fun in spamming the same attack all over again?

[wakabayashigenzo]

I don't know how good pros can be at this game, but I'm not impressed by what I saw. UMK3 seemed much more competitive IMO.

[nyghtgt]

pretty funny seeing people fail at fatalities during these things... I always feel like a jackass when i fail at them in a king of the hill game with those few random watching me, i would hate it with a few hundred people watching lol

[TheKidDigital]

HEY if any one here on xbox or ps3 would ever like to play add me. Im going to my first tournament today. Psn:xncxcrow Xbox360: kidigital Yeah i bought the game for both consoles... Its that DAMN GOOD.

[djHaQ]

Crazy Bone....

[werdna2590]

a fighting being played at the tournament level that not japanese this blasphemy to fighting game gods (capcom)

[CTdaMonster]

@werdna2590 that made no sense

[GeNGiM]

NR should do something about making button configurations easier. We see a lot of unnecessary wasted game time where gamers test button configs and constantly have to return to the main menu to reconfigure and adjust controls

[Roar5chach]

trying way too hard to make it seem like it's competitive.

[TakashiHOTD1]

@Roar5chach

But it IS really competitive.

More than what all capcom big fans may think...

[Kairi420]

lol @ Crazy Bone play by play.

[polobear1975]

that subway stage is a lesson in plugging yourself...Boon St.? really?

[ushiwakamaru30]

CrazyBone tries just a little too hard to make MK look good. "yeah, ummm, yeah, yeah, umm, it's a really solid game yo, ummm, yeah".

[polobear1975]

Ultra David: Why is this MK legitimately competitive?

CrazyBone: It's good man

(really?)



[polobear1975]

that big hispanic cat is a terrible commentator...cute as hell but a terrible commentator

[travisvennable]

"crazybone" is a terrible commentator.

[ushiwakamaru30]

@travisvennable not only that, but his "predictions" and "professional input" has been dead wrong from the start. "ummm, I think RIP is gonna take this because he beat me and he's pretty good". ==> RIP loses. Silence.

"umm Subzero is gonna control this match". ==> Subzero gets his nuts crushed. "umm, Now, Subzero is gonna take it, umm yeah, it's gonna be good". ==> Subzero gets barbecued. *silence*.

[lofrangollo]

@ushiwakamaru30 LMFAO!!!!!

[Parker1006]

The questions that one of the commentators asked were really good questions.

[OninomeShikyo]

@Nerdagara It's the Liu Kang combo Final Act- Back + A, X, Y; dash in(forward, forward); Final Act- Back + A, X, Y; dash in(forward, forward)...; you can start the combo with the Immortal Dragon- X, Y, Back + X or Fierce Tiger- Y, X, A to juggle the opponent also, but the chain is the Final Act over and over. You can get 9, 12 or 14 hits in the corner.

[Kairi420]

Why are they playing on X-Box???No Kartos???

[FearrZero]

@Kairi420

Kratos is banned in tournaments.

[92keys524]

so happy to see MK tournament play! about time they tried to balance these games.

[Anfmethodjor]

@92keys524 15:15 I think the community and gamers in general have grown, united because the fighting games community isn't as massive in terms of gamer percentage as it was during the beat'em-up golden age. Plus, the fact that the competitive scene has more and more professional gamers making money off tournaments, blogs, websites, and marketing... Any decent game can get love. Not knocking down MK, I just wonder how long it will last, and I hope it will last quite long.

[DAwalkthroughs]

dude, no offence but i play better with Smoke then Aris ^^ , Smoke and Kabal FTW!!

[TheGnarsk1]

Lol, how does this guy MOD their site... he really doesn't understand the game mechanics... lol @ It's... It's good man

[XforumsurferX]

So I guess Liu Kang is the Metaknight of MK9?

[Tikash1]

its noob saibot so weak or just player suck?

[thebest132]

Just in case anyone is wondering the theme at the beginning is the dead pool

[nabilose]

man that sub zero player needs to come to me fore some real sub zero leassons

[FoxHoundUnit89]

@nabilose Man that Youtube commenter needs to come to me for some real English lessons. Fucking hell kid.

[DonnieLove214]

Or with Rip... If you've played a fighting game b4 and have any type of skills in it. You KNOW there's guile turtling ppl in every game. KNOW UR OVERHEADS. GRAB. MIX-UP. In practice mode, think to yourself... What do I use? If he's jumping into to me... how can I get a hit off? Once I get that hit, how can I get more damage out of it? Cuz JUST an uppercut wont cut it. Props to Alex Valle tho... showed good play. Same combo, but good play. Use what works right? lol

[Chowdizzle]

@DonnieLove214 Same combo? You can complain about it that way but IMO it's actually a difficult to play and extremely effective game that Liu Kang has. Almost all of his attacks can be crouched which is his largest weakness. However he has 2 combos that can be repeated and combo into other moves. His first one is 2 jabs and a kick which ground bounces and is an overhead where the other starts off a low and can be repeated 4 times. Liu Kang may be simple in combos but it takes skill to mix-up.

[DonnieLove214]

High level of play? 95% of these matches was NOT high level at all. I play super and marvel and tekken, a fighting game is a fighting game. If your good at one, all should be the same. Like a person being athletic in martial arts. He'll be able to do kenpo, boxing, mma... It takes 2 seconds in the lab to think "Hey, why would I jump in kick and be uppercut punished on block; when I could punch and go straight into a combo with a possible overhead in it?" You common sense to think of thes things

[Kasaaz]

One of these commentators has a clue. One of them does not. Sadly it is not the ones that it should be.

[CykoMelody]

this game.... Im in love all over again...

[VandalVortex]

that noob player was awful, where's the upkick shadows, use that until the opponent realises he cant do dumb stuff like combo lool

[manrightchea]

Also guys, don't take this level of play as the gospel. The game is far to new to equate this to high level play in the same way as SSFIV or even Marvel. Trust me if you have people such as Combofiend, RiP, Wong etc playing, you'll see your high level play soon enough..

[ritezh]

man tht liu kang player(alex reid) is really good

[FuriaAlbaGeoX]

the sub-zero player doesn't know the game yet...from what i can see.no offense

[MRT3ABAG]

"Yo! AMERICAN HISTORY X!"

Lol, curb stomp...

[Byorin]

No offense, Lewis (sp?), but I really hope you don't continue this approach of asking how to play the game during such a long stretch of upcoming tournaments. That just absolutely killed any excitement I felt watching this vid. It's worse than not having any commentator at all. Asking a question is one thing, but the whole thing sounded like we were sitting in class during a really boring lecture. MK, the game, however, is very fun.

[Norrentil]

@xOmniCloudx

They ban him because 360 owners cannot play against Kratos, since he's only on the PS3. How is NRS choosing to make Kratos, and only releasing him on the PS3 the fault of the 360 owners?

[Norrentil]

@xOmniCloudx

[tareqs1]

"Joke about Kano's balls"

[Nompo]

Hooray for KrazieBone and his MK background. Pretty much every question that he was asked (questions that people who actually understand fighting games but aren't familiar with MK would want to know the answer to) went completely over his head. Are all people who play MK this oblivious?

[BraggartTheBlagard]

@Nompo Obviously not, if you watch the next video.

But I will admit "It's- I'ts good, man..." made me lol.

[manrightchea]

@Nompo He answered everything well, this game isn't SF or Marvel which is what most of the questions focused on. This is just a new experience for most as the is MK's first tournament level game. This is also not particularly high level play, the game is far too new for people to have everything figured out already.

[Nompo]

@manrightchea Are you kidding me? He didn't understand wake up options, he didn't understand the question about character match ups, he couldn't answer the question about super armor properties of X-Ray attacks and that's just the stuff of the top of my head. This guy is a mod on the leading MK strategy site. It has nothing to do with Super or Marvel. I don't even play those games. It has everything to do with understanding basic mechanics of a new game and this guy is clueless.

[JFLikesPie]

@Nompo everything you just said is exactly right. If I had a cookie, I would give it to you.

[manrightchea]

@Nompo I see what you mean in a way, although honestly if someone asked me for in depth wake up strategies on MK then I would not really know many. I wasn't aware that the character match-up data was already well determined, as those nuances tend to take more time to discover.

[skillzgone2waste]

"Is there footsies?" lol. Other wise it isn't competitive unless there is something that reminds us all as Street Fighter.

[xOmniCloudx]

I never understood about banning console exclusive characters. If you run a game off a console version then you go by console rules. If you use the PS3 version then that's the fault of the 360 owners not PS3 owners. It would be like using the 360 version of the game but then PS3 people whining they can't play Kratos who is their main. They tell you beforehand so adjust to the rules. But it was stupid in SCIV since they and guest characters were banned despite them all being on both consoles.

[manrightchea]

@xOmniCloudx I think its a good idea, people have to be able to develop effective strategies to counter a character, if they can't do that, they are at a disadvantage. In the case of SCIV, it had guest characters but they were still not all available at once. Only after a while did the console exclusives for each respective system become available for the other system.

[Thienthan]

I find the way Krazybone ends his sentences rather ironic and funny heh

[mattews91]

And after you know how to block you will realize that this game has no gimmicks.

[Fullmetalboy2]

mad random x-rays

[THTB614]

Okay, one thing I have to mention about Bone.  Why the hell is he wearing a damn G-Unit shirt???

[Fullmetalboy2]

Are there footsies, is there frame advantage? Didn't answer the first question lol.

[Seaoftea]

Whats with scorpion being able to do that slow ass fire crap. Smoke has got to be able to punish it.

[lamlouis670]

wheover playing scorpion is a hella scrub

[reoriol]

I like both MK9 and MVC3 but im gonna just play MK9 for the funsies and play MVC3 seriously. But i'm stoked to see that high level MK play will finally be shown to the masses!!

[Marcuzzorox]

@reoriol highlevel of (almost)any game is a pleasure to see!

[thePANDEMlC]

Why the fuck are ropes in front of the characters on the first match? Terrible level design.

[FATandUGLYS]

@thePANDEMlC it's just ropes, they add depth to the stage. it's not like they heavily obstruct the vision of the player

[RGarrido121]

smoke smells his fingers after he sticks them in scorpions eyes....

[rgrmatt69]

Alex kicking ass!

[llz22]

if people play pokeigioh, then why shouldn't mortal kombat be popular?

[BIGBALLER102290]

Mortal kombat > Street Fighter ...... imo

[AntiI3ot]

mvc3 still look better^^

[jumpdukejump]

i like the vid already no tvc2 yea

[marcolaranja]

at 22:22 after the annoucer annouces the fatality it should be awesome to see Dan Forden appearing on the corner at the screen saying "Toasty".

[Rapture639]

Interesting that they chose to go with the xbox 360 version of the game. Kinda want to see someone play Kratos at a high level.

[LewzorFTW]

@Rapture639 kratos is BANNED from tournments...

[jakedizzle]

@LewzorFTW Is that to keep things fair? Since X360 tournament fighters would be at a disadvantage. They wouldn't have the experience fighting him. I'm just guessing. Seems reasonable.

[phantomofakina]

@jakedizzle

Yes its to keep it fair, whenever a game has console exclusive characters, they are banned for the sake of fairness

[jakedizzle]

@phantomofakina That's cool. I can't wait to see how crazy this game is going to be once everyone masters their main. Should be pretty epic.

[LewzorFTW]

@jakedizzle yeah thats right :P

[Ares42]

@Rapture639 Not like I'm an expert or anything, but from my experience Kratos seems broken. One of his 2 button combo-strings does 27% on it's own :P

[AlexOFranco]

Fuck Yeah Alex Valle, I hope he gets far.

[RaptorLee]

That Noob player is a Noob.



[Kratos94nb]

20:19 Wesker at the end of Resident Evil 5? xD

[valk4life]

commentator " you don't want to use your xray in round 1"

scorpion player does random xray and wins the round, what a garbage commentator, get this prick of the mic

[mikiarca]

@valk4life

That wasn't a random x ray

[valk4life]

@mikiarca yeah it was random, all the xrays used in that match were random, except for harpoon xray

[mikiarca]

@valk4life

It was used to punish his jump it wasn't random at all,as soon as he saw him jump he used it

[valk4life]

I can't wait till everybody picks ermak and just spams his bullshit cheap telekenisis move, this game is total bullshit. Keep this shit away from evo and bring back old school sf2 game ffs

[sixonethreee]

Wow this game looks like garbage.

[Sanious]

@sixonethreee You look like garbage.

[MKF30]

@Sanious I agree, those who bash this game are retarded...

[AshLionHeart]

@sixonethreee You look like shit. I'd rather be garbage, thanks for the comment!

[Skatsimii]

Why have the player names covering the number of rounds won? please realize that a lot of us viewing has really poor attention spans^

[Aruezi]

for the first 15 minutes I was a little disappointed in the commentators... then 16:36 came and brought the hype with him.

[Sandokan4]

That dude is like, saying like a lot.

[legoka0]

funny how ultradavid knows nothing about this game but is still a way better commentater than that other idiot

[KeijiMaeda86]

They need to use their break more and enhanced moves. It's not all about the x-ray. Scorpion should have broke some of those 12hit combos he might have survived a bit longer.

[TKMVillar]

Commentators are a bit bland.

[bwinches]

The "controls menu" and the inability to access the "controls menu" during game-play is a problem. I want the ability to disable/un-assign buttons as well as the ability to assign a single action to more than one button. Tag and Throw can be done via button combinations without a dedicated buttons, and I want the ability to disable them. The inability to quickly access the "controls menu" during game-play is going to hinder tournaments. NetherRealm Studios, please patch.

[themysterymeatman]

I thought Johnny Cage's Flip Kick had invincibility on wake up? Whatever, yo.

[kingyankee23]

did the commentator just ask if there is footsies? C'MON even WWE All Stars have footsies... -.- of course this game has footsies

[dcshoes841]

Shoutouts to the OG Haggred and his godlike Smoke play.
