The Music of Video Games [360] Mortal Kombat II

[Alleng9]

mk9 has changed the game of fighters and took all fighting games to a hole new level

[elamit]

Nice collaboration of music! My personal favorites 4:34 and 6:32. 6:32 being far harder to find anywhere and too short. Nice!

[Buzid]

@elamit

Damn, I remember clocking MK1 on master system and they had a downgraded version of 6:32 playing for the credits after clocking it. I hear ya bra

[DepressionMoon]

I don't remember Kung Lao being in Mortal Kombat II only III.

[Dan101986]

@DepressionMoon

Kung Lao made was introduced into the series in MK2.

[Noshadow83]

where was this from?

[madogg99]

what song starts at 0:48

[OhjainHangeriGP]

0:54 "Oh, I'm SOO frozennn.. Just kidding" *throw*

[ninlettez]

all those freezes are supposed to be for one of sub zeros finishing moves. the snow ball and the upper cut shatter.

i remember playin this shit back in 95 i was 11.

[Jaguaari]

MK Trilogy for PSX was/is the best :)

[gArBgebIN]

Killer Instinct rocked too

[1shoryuken]

@Draken4426 ill admit that there are other great 2D fighter games than Street Fighter 2 but Street Fighter 2 is the fastest and most balanced fighting game ever made. With Mortal Kombat everyone has the same speed and range but who cares we only like MK for the humor and gore.

[ArtzeiEntertainment]

I remember hear the start on MK1.

[Buzda]

The first music is from MK1 and the second is just a remix from the Official MKII Music cd. You kinda fucked this up.

[grungefreak10]

When I dug my old Sega Genesis out of the basement and ordered a copy of MKII off amazon, I must admit that I couldn't quite get into the game as much as I used to.

The music on the other hand (as well as the game's back story) enthralled me just as much as it had when I was young. Maybe even more so.

[minicrush]

4:30 is my favorite song

[stryker1500]

I think either MK Trilogy or Deception was the best of the series.

[Blitzbok]

@stryker1500 Deception was a disaster. Trilogy imbued everything that was good about the series.

[Jreddd]

Both the Mortal Kombat series and Street Fighter series have had awesome installments, as well as titles not so great in their lifetimes as game franchises. In my opinion, it's silly to compare the 2 as they are completely different games with different goals in their design and overall presentation. Sure, we could argue about what game is better for various reasons. Personally. I just prefer to enjoy both for what they are. Fun! If you don't like either game, then don't play them. Simple.

[CubanoRicanTony360]

I think the reason MK was made cuz of Street Fighter.....,THANK GOD!

[CEITCOGIDO]

I player this game a little bit and I liked it, but SF2 is way better, so much solid game compared to this. They are almost two different game genres.

[Lazyboy51]

You should make a video like this with MK2 MD Music that'd be bad ass!

[consolearena]

a video about "video game music"

big deal

[ArcanaMaxima]

...and you were expecting what exactly from a video entitled 'The Music Of Video Games'?

[consolearena]

if you were to watch a video of mine where there is an option to switch the music off then you'd know what im talking about

[Draken4426]

One of the greatest 2D fighters ever made imo, Street Fighter 2 is overrated imo and Mortal Kombat brought BALLS to the fighting game genre. There are other great 2D fighters OTHER than Street Fighter 2.

[xzist]

@Draken4426 agreed, but the only problem with the early mortal kombat games was lack of stringable combos and such

[mhd112211]

LOL why do they shout out nonsense?:D

[Thecheckerchex]

damn do you use hacks and cheats on all these games?

[nastyguard007]

Nope, he's just good!

[Thecheckerchex]

wat

since when can sub-zero throw multiple freezes?

[nastyguard007]

Weird, I never noticed that! Good point, Game Geenie most likely...

Or one of the In-Game cheats.

[Thecheckerchex]

yea, the dude's totally cheating, look at how he just slides closer as he's throwing all the freeze balls. looks like a cheat for an easy freeze-uppercut bs.

[GoldenJoe]

MK has some really amusing stuff in it, but gameplay-wise, I always thought it was the worst of the major fighters.

[MissingnoTheGreat]

@GoldenJoe

That's because it was more about being flashy.

[Celestrious]

I always thought it was weird in MK2 that Kung Lao's protrait always reminded me of a chinese Clint Eastwood for some reason...

[jons44]

Yeah, that music at 6:33 is the MK1 continue screen music. Arcade only, I think.

[RtotheOY]

glitch glitch :) great vid! 5* and fav

cheers

[EllfenIied]

my all time favorite fighting game. i noticed that mortal kombat hardly gets any attention at all now.

[DORITO773]

wats the name of the song at 8:19 thats my favorite. i know that for snes it was the opening theme

[brutaltildeath666]

From what stage is 6:33 at? I've never heard it before. It sounds very cool though.

[armandotrinidad]

I Thinks It's From MK1. Continue Screen.

[Target205]

I remember standing in front of an MK2 arcade machine for a half hour waiting for the attract mode to loop back the screen showing the address to send money to order the MK2 soundtrack. As a bonus it included the soundtrack for MK1.

[AOCRkid]

great music lol

[AOCRkid]

thank you!!!

[jonnism77]

can someone explain to me what is going on in the video? (shweet music though)

[Trademark21]

@ 3:44 insert sound of growling trees!!! The Living Forest will always be the best level in ANY Mortal Kombat. And it sucks that it didn't have a Stage Fatality but it was cool when they added one in MK Shaolin Monks. Will always be my favorite

RRRROOOAAARRR!!!

[metalupurarse36]

A lotta people say I look like Baraka

[DanaWhite0]

ROTFL

[Psyduckoid]

I remember this is when i first got into fighting games because i always got my ass kicked by my brother by subzero so i thought i would pick someone new other then baraka so i picked scorpian and i kicked ass

[dmuth]

0:49 is when it totally starts to rock! Nice job.

[doppleganger4827]

The gong in the beginning sounds badass in 44KHz, surprised me when I heard it. Good stuff. FROSTY!

[maniaticoaleman]

I really sucked at all the MKs... But this particular ones brings me some good memories.

[AlucardsQuest]

Good game, but in retrospect the music seems more atmospheric than catchy. It isn't music that I'd play casually, but at least it sounds cool. A couple themes seemed to be ripped right from the first game.

[ToLDrood]

further proving why button mashing fighting games require no skill at all... if i was playing a subzero like this i would punch him in his face in total frustration...

[RobotMasterSplash]

Way to fail to understand what's going on.

[kushaba]

wtf kind of version of mk2 was that? no freeze back fire? and it does their frozen pose from a fatality?

[toKs1c]

thanks for another MK game garudoh love you man!
