  • but why is it green

  • lol, hell yeah, prima fucking suck's, if you thought this "art book manual" was bad you should read the marvel vs. capcom 2 "art book manual", i still laugh everytime i read the sentinel section.

  • Great video! I got the chance to browse thru this in the store (I was thinking about buying it), and when I saw all the strips of screenshot after screenshot, I thought the same thing; that this guide is useless.

  • I thought this was amazing then I thought the only way this could get better is if he burned it. Wish granted.

  • "Might as well be opening up the first page into a big fat juicy curly turd"

    HILARIOUS!!!

  • haha fucking hilarious mate. sorry you feel ripped off, prima sucks. anyways know that you have a fan in israel.

  • yeah scorpion know about the flames oeeh yeaah, yeaah oeehh

    hahahahhahaha

  • what do you expect? NS patched the the game as soon as it hit the shelves, making the damage information provided, useless.

  • @ryanpalmer19 He explains how irrelevant that is in this very video.

  • @xOmniCloudx By saying "people aren't dumb enough to assume certain moves are still doable"? NR updates turned this into completely different game, damage and frame information would of made the guide look stupid as soon as the first update hit. Only morons would expect a non updating guide to provide relevant combos months after its release. This guide was clearly created for the main purpose of providing single player information (challenge tower, krypt info). The combo info is just a bonus.

  • o.o

  • who's buying these things?

  • CAPS RAGE!!!!!!!!!!

  • The worst fucking part about this book that he didnt even metion is the fact that alot of the pages have the wrong persons combos in its a fucking waste of money

  • I think you may very well be my hero lol you know what yer talking about, you saved me thirty bucks and I get a hilairious ending I was not expecting!

  • You suck donkey dick

  • LMAO @ the end

  • All Prima guides are crap. They always have been. Glorified instruction booklet is exactly the right word. The Prima Guide to the first Dragonball Z Budokai game is literally the game's instruction booklet word for word with screenshots of the game for the movies. Friends don't let friends do Prima.

  • LOL!

  • this guide sucked

  • Here comes the next mass murderer. lol

  • 84 People bought this guide to stay Newbie.

  • scorpion knew nothing about flames before he met you my friend. thanks to you i know not to get this "guide" so thanks a lot!

  • legend!

  • I lolled and subscribed... awsm review dude.

  • lol, Predator who can cast Blizzaga

  • He could have gotten a refund...but it is a piece of shit. Main reason I never buy guides for anything. Its why the internet exists right? Fucking Tom Brady can tell you more about this game in 5 min than the guide could with its entirety.

  • thanks to your vid and other complains, I got full refund for this guide. Actually I got paid for having it. Got it for 20 and got 40 dolalrs back from random house lmao

  • He missed the fucking book the first time he threw the fire down XD

  • @chillaman35 the book jumped, avoiding the hellfire the first time.

  • Nothing better than hearing English people rant about stuff lol

  • I got a guide to one of the older mk games and it sucked ass too. Didn't have any of the moves listed right they where all the wrong key combos.

  • Definitely the greatest review of a anything I have ever seen.

  • I got the correction cards that prima games sent out for this piece of crap guide. thanks to this guy that posted the video! Prima sent out these free cards to people who wanted them.

    google psblvd and when you get to the site, search mortkal kombat prima

  • I'm pretty sure at 05:00 that's not even Cyrax's anti-air attack...his anti-air attack is a jumpy type thing...that's his fucking leg hook attack...

  • you cant block if you wanna do babality?? i had no clue, i was wondering why shit so hard to do.

  • that was funny, but you got some points lol

  • i got my "korrection Kards" from Prima . check them out I posted pictures of them in my blog. search psblvd on google to find my blog

  • Take it easy dude!

  • sorry I disagree, I like the snapshots.

  • @artofgarduno Yeah, snapshots help me know if I'm doing it correctly. The only complaint I had about the guide, was the mistakes it had on combos, yet he didn't even mention that :/

  • Note: This video is subject to updates.

  • British people get mad so easily and for no reason. You mad bro? Lol

  • @254Wacolion lmao

  • Prima has always been terrible!

    But i think you would have felt better getting your money back for the guide...

    Unless you have the money too just burn things, than thats kool too

  • I never imagined I would actually enjoy a game guide review... that was great!

  • 81 prima workers watched this video

  • I am SO glad he didn't see Raiden's strategy section..

    The typos get so bad that they mention that after Raiden "telegraphs" his opponent, he can juggle them with 1,1 (which is not true at all since 1,1 doesn't connect, and Raiden doesn't fucking understand what a telegraph is)

    Then with the worst match-up, they start wandering off into what Raiden would be thinking as he teleports behind Kano.

    What..the...fuck.

  • Here's a dude with some logic and gets it. The only good thing about that guide is the shout outs it gave to people who worked hard to establish MK and push it out of a deep cave the creators have sent the game in. While you bought the guide and hated it, I bought the game and was absolutely turned off and disappointed.

    Nice upload though

  • You know... You didn't have to buy it.

  • @1sleepinglisa no shit sherlock

  • @lepolohuevo if it's all "no shit" then what right do you have to bitch in this medium? You only end up looking silly. You should at least contact someone who can so something about it...

  • Have you seen their e-guide???

    Your paper guide is simply awesome against the e-guide! They made everything to make the World's Crapiest Game Guide...

  • Scott wins. Guide sucks.

    FATALITY!

  • through the words fuck and shit, I must say that you are right about the guide. I would expect much more of it. "Yeah Scorpion knows, he knows about the fuckin flames". Very entertaining review :)

  • also i paused to write that comment just before you showed that guide who was boss lol epic ending to an awesome review :D

  • that was a quality review, while i consider myself a very good gamer in general, i admit fighting games are definitely one of my weak points so i nearly got this and now i obviously won't. I like the casual way you speak about everything and yet explain your points very well. It's like listening to a mate ramble about something except half way through you realise he's he's making alot of excellent points and then you pay attention lol.

  • @critbot

    Hee hee hee hahaha that's fat.

    

  • I'm not done watching, but I noticed that the section for Cyrax's anti air (sigh), shows screenshots of his ragdoll kick, which is d,f,3 (1+3). Also, I'm 99% sure that Cyrax's actual anti air throw is d,f,1. WTF mate.

  • This comment goes out to all those people who made the mistake of buying a strategy guide that is clearly trash. Prima (The publisher of the guide) just sent me an email. It said, "The revised Mortal Kombat Character Cards are currently being processed and will start shipping on May 12th. We appreciate your business." As if I had a choice. If you want the revised character cards visit the Prima website and send them an email with your shipping address. It doesn't make up for the book though.

  • I was skeptical about prima guides ever since the legend of dragoon guide. Basically instead of telling you different strategies for each character they give you one team throughout the whole fucking game. "We used Dart, Kongol, and Albert with x equipment." That shit was annoying as fuck. Haven't gotten a prima guide since and it seems to have paid off. Sorry you had to lose money on it but thanks for letting the rest of us know bud.

  • " left out frame data and damage? " " I'll show you fawkin' damage. " lmfao

  • This " may very well be " the best review I've ever seen. LOL

  • have to agree, that me and my friend have just purchased a guide each (giggling like little girls) for the sake of it being a guide and possibly a Kollectable (like that :P)

    I have noticed now that there is plenty wrong, i feel they have just gone too arty farty with it, instead of giving the people what they need. I do like the book for the arty farty but for being a guide.. i aint too impressed. 20 pound for it too. Also i can't even download the track on the back... silly prima.

  • noob

  • subscribed. 

  • This made my day!! Awesome review

  • Subject to change!, SUBJECT TO CHANGE!!!!!

    YEEEE Scorpion knows about the flames!

    LOL great review

  • the character cards you get with the guide are full of errors

    and what does prima do, we get printable new cards

    i dont want printable cards, in want new cards

    and also where is the fatality evolution they promised

    WORST GUIDE EVER PRIMA !!!!!!!

  • Look my video

  • This man just gave us an invaluable public service announcement.

    Kudos, kaworuscott

  • LMAO

    There is alot of useless, and down right WRONG info in it. But I wouldnt pay $40 just to burn it. I got a good laugh out of itm though.

  • Ive got the same CE guide, and it IS crap. Lui Kangs entire expert combo section is actually Kano's. Finishing moves have wrong inputs ALL the way through, and theres not alot you can do with it. Even the nice glossy cards it comes with have wrong input commands.

  • I'm LOLing at the idiots who failed to see the point of this review, are defending this shitty ass guide and calling out valid points as nitpicking. This guide was clearly made by idiots like yourself. Thanks for the heads of Kaworu. Though with the internet, guides are mostly useless anyway.

  • I fucking cried. Awesome ass review and ending.

  • damned you make toasty fatality to the guide !

  • uh, burned it...

  • such a chav... 

  • you should definately start doing more reviews, that was brilliant. so hilarious but also true

  • Calm down... u are getting a heartattack it seems lol... about DMG/frame infos. Its actually good to not print them, because they are right what do you have if some combos got patched? then u have useless DMG infos ina guide printed whicha rent correct anymore. So point in printing them. Combos themself will not be patched away for sure... so. But Whats a shame is that they forgot some moves and kunglao + luikang is swaped etc. but its ok for its money imho.

  • @idddq by your logic the guide might as well be 200 blank pages seeing as anything could change with a patch. think before you post, moron.

  • @nic1357

    Fuck Jason Wilson, he should be fired for doing such a piece of shit.

    Also, no more Prima guides for me before reviews and testing.

    I have bought one month ago the MVC 3 guide, which i studied ALOT. Then i just recieved this horrible guide. Seriously this MK kollector is AVERAGE, and BULLSHIT for 15 pounds !

    Prima did decent with the Super Street Fighter 4 guide, but this time they fucked it up !

  • @idddq Your an idiot. That note in the guide is just them justifying them being lazy/ dumb assholes. Few FG's and guides even bother to release frame data and its often up to the community to figure it out which is long and annoying. So what if stuff gets changed? You can still look up online the minute changes that were made its not like it renders all the other data useless. Frame data is extremely useful, if this guide was composed of just a turd but had frame data it would be more worth it.

  • Raiden is pronounced Ray-den in Mortal Kombat (and always has), not Rye-den as is the more common pronunciation of the name.

  • How is it my connection when one second i'm playing a game and I get 100% fine connection then another game it's terrible it's called host idiots.

  • Someone is a pyromaniac

  • peopl spam the shit out of the same combos online and the connection is shit they could have added more characters but as usual. No!.. And the game just sucks as usual and the controls don't register 35% of the time.

  • @Kidsownyou1

    Maybe it's just your connection.

  • @Kidsownyou1 spam combos? have you even ever played a fg before? or even know what they are?

  • Best review period!

  • got this guide

    it is awful

    if you want to learn the game, check out FrameAdvantageDotCom on youtube

    also, play online or go to tournaments and spend time in training mode

  • As the video title suggest, this is a great review

  • One of my favorite reviews ever!

  • This guide is subject to updates... SUBJECT TO UPDATES

    Thanks for the review, made me laugh like a motherfucker and saved me 20€.

  • Ok, now I understand how you don't like the guide to MK9. But why did you burn the guide when it cost you money? Why didn't you just return it? You basically wasted your hard earned money while making it so that there was no way that you'd get that money back. Why didn't you just return it? And if you couldn't do that, why didn't you just sell it to someone else? Not everyone thinks the same way about guides that you do. Plus, even if it does suck to them too, it'll become their problem now.

  • @gamr4evr08 it feels so much better to burn garbage.

  • @gamr4evr08 he can do whatever the fuck he likes with it he bought it not you

  • Now you have to look up all those combos online! The expert combs teach you how to use the dash properly and soon you start making up your own combos. Very few people use good combos on xbox live and I really enjoy tearing them to FUCKING SHREDS with Baraka's dash combos. The book has really helped me.

  • lol the ending.....rage

  • did scorpion teach you how to use Hellfire!?

  • The Bradygames MvC3 guide has been dubbed 'The Bible' because after reading it you will realise how godlike it is.

    The Prima MK9 guide will henceforth be dubbed 'The Shithouse' because after reading it you will realise that it's full of shit.

  • Bradygames FTW... Always. Why didnt the make the fuckin guide. That sucks

  • @sk8er4life1620 It's funny since Bradygames makes SHITTY RPG guides with errors EVERY fucking where. Notorious for fucking up on crucial shit while Prima (at least used to) was known for making top notch RPG guides. Seems they both should just stick to the genre they know.

  • YOU NEED MANY YEARS OF THERAPY MANY MANY FUCKING YEARS

  • LMAO! @ 9:41, you sound like you're having an orgasm.

  • I lol'd.

  • you sound like william regal sorry

  • lmao damn dude take it easy

  • hahahhahahahahahaahhaaha best review ever!

  • Junge, dass hättest du auch verkaufen können!! sicher dein erstes buch der reihe prima guide!?

  • THAT WAS GREAT!!!!!

  • I can't believe you've done this!

  • Thanks for the heads up i was going to get this...

    awful guide.and thanks for babality info

  • WE should complain to prima

  • The guide is ass-tastic

  • Hahaha... epic ending man...! :D

  • @kaworuscott you make British people look like trashy skinheads you prick... stop making youtube videos

  • @permatroll How? This guide is ass-tastic

  • @permatroll Why would you generalize your idea of British people from a single youtube video that would make no sense. Hes just upset that he wasted 35 USD or 15 pounds on a piece of crap guide

  • @fightclub101

    He actually has the word "troll" in his name... Think twice if he's worth your time next time.

  • @permatroll You make British look like fucking retards if you think anyone forms opinions about them through a review of a video game product that has nothing to do with them personally. You're even stupider if you actually thought people decided that was a valid place start or use. Stop posting on the internet. You make your people look unintelligent.

  • Awwwwwwww........ Fuck it, a glorified artbook is good enough for me.

  • @Nazareeni

    It's not even close to an artbook! this book is shit!

  • "Scorpion knows..He knows about the fucking flames" lmfao :P

  • if you intend to buy it don't expect much except for a cool hard cover - but content is useless - for 20 bucks i expected more!

  • i have to admit, the guide is very comprehensive

  • you new to MK huh?....Go to Test your might dot C O M for in depth info

  • I agree... this guide has the most errors I've ever seen and I've been working at a game store for 11 years. It even put Kano's combo info in Lui Kang's section. Absolute trash!

  • Thank you, sir. You just saved me some money and I got a good laugh out of this.

  • You have something wrong in your head man

  • I feel bad for the trees that got turned into these guides.

  • This was fucking hilarious.

  • No offense, but all your points are kind of shit... Especially the purposely left out damage info part, Their argument is right in the book; Why the fuck would they give you a list of damage when they could be subject to patches... You honestly just go on a rant about things that are justified in themselves.

  • @someonessomthing From now on guides should not be published or only have blank pages since anything is subject to change. DUMB ASS.

  • @xOmniCloudx Lol whatever, It's a valid point none-the-less. I'm not so much defending a shitty guide, as it very well may be wrong in all cases, but rather I was bringing up a counter-point to an argument... Sorry about expressing my opinion, Oh wait, This is youtube a place where hate and trolls breed even more so than 4Chan ^^ and I'm a pretty big /b/ro, I would know.

  • Should have just returned the book and get your money back but hey you must be rich as fuck

  • also the noob stage fatality combination is wrong plus, the hidden characters u fight are out and like he said babalities.

  • dudes stop bashin on that book...cause its not a guide...but its a screen'shoter' tool.....xD

  • 4.38 made me laugh as its like something out of an anime.

    "This move is a great anti-air attack..." 1 second pause (bird tweets) "No Shit" XD

  • tears laughing at the end love it.

    

  • Cyber SubZero=Predator that can cast Blizzaga LOL!

  • Dude, I almost bought this book, seriously. I stared at and of course you cant open them like the old days, they are fucking sealed...anyways, it looked pro, and said it was tournament worthy info, but I just had a bad feeling about it so I didnt buy it. Glad I did not. I did buy the MVC3 guide when it came out and that guide was amazing.

    BTW, I think it is funny he is like whispering the whole time, trying not to wake up the velociraptors next door.

  • I thought he was going to take a piss on it at first.

  • Wow, cry much? What a big baby.  I would've laughed if he burnt himself.

  • @TheTrueWildOne I'd cry too if I wasted $35 on a UPS book..lol

  • hahahahaha awesome review!!

  • @Mezzaaaaa Can't be helped in this age, where patches can make things stated in it inaccurate.

  • OMG, he did a FATALITY on the guide!

  • I wanted to buy the guide because I enjoy the art of games and usually it's just convenient to have all the info you need in one book, but having no frame data and no damage listed really killed any incentive to buy it. I guess if you have absolutely no intention of any getting better as a player, then this guide might be OK, lol.

  • setting the guide on fire? really? you're just making yourself look like a d-bag

  • @MarkoobusJ

    He just did what a lot of us felt like doing. I genuinely  commend him for that.

  • Oh man, this is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life!! This man is a genius!! Somebody give him a medal or something!!!! What kind of shitty guide is this!! Prima guides are always bad and often wrong. If wanna buy a guide, go for the Brady guides. Tom Brady plays MK himself and has a huge combosection.

  • For predator who can cast blizzaga, did anybody catch that? lol shit's funny

  • DO NOT buy this garbage

    thank you for the headsup Kaworu

  • So...you're saying there's no damage or frame data? But in all seriousness, I had this guide in my cart as well as the Kollector's edition of MK. At the last minute I switched to the regular edition and cancelled the guide order. Saved myself a lot of money. Dunno why I'm telling you guys this. Oh well, cya!

  • Your the best dude ! ahaha

  • when people are constantly quoting you, you know you've hit it big

  • @penetr8r713

    What are you, a retard or something?? So you actually disagreed with him and you like the guide?? What do you like about it?? The lack of any useful information??? Idiot!!

  • @Bhup1978 No I didn't disagree with him you stupid fuck! I don't even need strategy guides to play fighting games unlike noobs like you because I'm a tourney player. I agreed with the way that he showed that prima made a whack guide and laughed at him playing with the book with his hands while it was on fire and how fanatical he got at the end. perhaps it was you who needed to get incenerated instead of the book. At least the book had SOME sense...

  • @penetr8r713

    Oooo la de daaaa... you are a tournament player... wow.. I mean.. Oh my god, jeeez, why, you are sooo coool.... ha hah aha ha.. fucking retarded pathetic loser!!!!! Need to tell everybody he is so great at playing videogames that he is a tourney player... ha ha ha.. get a life you little videogame playing loser who lives with his mommy..!!!!! IDIOT!!!

  • @Bhup1978 its little 8 year old pathetic losers like you that just need to get aborted at birth so that the world doesn't have to deal with your problems. And that's saying something because I'm against abortion! Anyway keep suckin your momma's right tit loser and gtfo the internet. the world would be better off without you and your trolling IDIOT!!!! ;)

  • @penetr8r713

    Are you a retard?? Seriously, man! I'm getting a bit worried! What does 1978 after my nick tell you?? I was born that year idiot, making me 33 years old, yu dumb fuck!!! You're so retarded you can't even think that out for yourself??!! Nobody givesd a fuck about you being a tourney player, bro!! So fuck you little bitchass shit! Idiot!!!!!!

  • @Bhup1978 You sure are an immature fucktard for a 33 year old bro. It's time to get out of your parents basement, get a job, try to find a woman and get laid instead of trying to act like some big dick on youtube. Either that or just get some help pal. smh

  • @penetr8r713

    Ha haha... you're so retarded. I'ma medical doctor!!! I can even prove it. Here's my real name Bhupinder Jassal. Google me you dumbfuck!!! I am Norwegian champion in Fitness-Athletic, I'm a medical doctor!! So who are a retarded loser now, little bitch!!!! Yeah!!

  • @Bhup1978 ye and im sure a doctor like him would use that language

  • @themorphman100

    What?? Doctors are normal human being who use all kind of language!! They eat, they drink, they sleep just like all other poeple in the world....

  • @penetr8r713 what are you talking about LOL. Every fighting game that has a competitive scene has a message board of some sort where people communicate with each others and make match up guides and tier lists and moveset guides and gamplay engine/mechanic guides and combo lists and things of the like. and 90% of the people on these forums are all tourney players. a strategy guide is right up in the same fucking family tree. LOL.

  • @GoldenHeartNeko I know that strategy guides are necessary and quite frankly I was going to get one myself just so that I can see what the rest of the krypt unlockables are. I was just defending my disposition against that moron yesterday. But I was just saying that I am one of those kinds of players that likes to see the mechanics for myself before getting a guide and it turns out that for my character i didn't need it. If you are good on that then great, but don't start trollin me homie.
