Mortal Kombat Part 2 - Did You Know Gaming? Feat. Two Best Friends Play (Matt & Pat)

did you know the character sector ensign racks were originally named ketchup and mustard during mortal combat threes development because of their red and yellow color schemes these names are referenced in both MK Deadly Alliance and Armageddon under styrax and sector [ __ ] fighting style as sec door has a move called ketchups revenge footage of the names being used can also be seen in mortal kombat armageddon spy o cards and there's even an early image of sec door being referred to as Robocop the character Jack's was originally conceived as a kickboxer but the idea was eventually scrapped it's thought that this was because the developers felt that Jack's would be too similar to certain characters from the Street Fighter series like Balrog Sagat and DJ Jack's was also originally going to be named Curtis Stryker this name was put aside and was later used for a different character altogether in Mortal Kombat 3 originally Jax was planning to appear in the first Mortal Kombat was ultimately replaced by Sonya Blade the change was made because there were no female characters in the Mortal Kombat roster and Ed Boon and his team wanted to add some variety to the lineup of warriors Sonya was named after Ed's sister and she inherited Jax's role on the game's story having a rivalry with Cana in an episode of g-force icons Ed Boon stated that Cain Ozai and metal-plated face were directly based off the t800 for Terminator 2 Judgment Day the ninja reign was originally a red herring created by Merle comets developers and the arcade version Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 a character called rain could be seen for a second in the game to track mode and seem to be fighting as a playable character raised inclusion there was a joke and was intended to spark fan rumors and efforts to try and unlock him in the game fans eventually gave up searching for ways to find the elusive warrior and came to the realization he was another example of the developers having fun with rumors and secrets the font used to display his name is slightly different than other characters and this is possibly a hint that he wasn't real at all at the time and the console versions of the game however he was eventually made playable anyway the fact that his name is reine that he wears purple any later turned out to be a prince as a reference to the album Purple Rain by Prince sub-zero on the other hand was originally going to be named Tundra the name was later uses the original name of sub-zero as younger brother who then replaced sub-zero after he died at the hands of scorpion the original sub-zero then became noob saibot whose name of course is booted tobias backwards referencing series co-creators ed boon and John Tobias in every Mortal Kombat game from deception onward noob saibot name is displayed as new thankfully that since John Tobias left Midway Games thus I bought part of noobs name had to be removed for legal reasons whoever this seems unlikely as Tobias doesn't own the rights to the name cybot this shadowy fighter usually attacks as two beans and all the Mortal Kombat games and according to Ed Boon one is called noob and the other is Saipan this seems like a more reasonable explanation why his display name in newer games is just noob as new would be the main fighter and his doppelganger would be considered an assist the character borrachos name is a plan words his name comes from the spanish word for rat chow meaning drunk his sloppy nature and his drunken fist fighting style also sprung from this idea the character of Baraka has an appearance that was based on a mask of the vampire Nosferatu the developer has modified the mask painted it to look more horrifying and added false fingernails to extend the teeth early art also shows alternate baraka designs as a human ninja wielding hook swords these hook swords were later pass onto cabal in MK 3 and quickly became his signature weapon shao kahn was originally going to have the same animalistic teeth as baraka but the idea was eventually dropped because the developers wanted Outworld to have a greater variety of races other than just the tar cotton the Horde shao kahn was digitally resized to be taller in mk2 making him tower over the other characters this was actually necessary as the actor plan shao kahn brian glen wasn't very tall to begin with there's even a group photo of glyn and the games developers where IDI boone appears to stand up around two inches taller than the mighty ruler of Outworld the lead character Mortal Kombat deception is named shujinko his name is derived from Japanese and his literal translation into English is protagonist when she jingo travels to both the chaos and the NetherRealm in the games Conquest mode a few characters seem to be speaking in a garbled language they're actually talking backwards and are saying things like I am talking Navi spooky isn't it drink milk gets plenty of sleep listen to your parents Daru your homework if you have decoded this you had 40 too much time on your hands my friend he's sending that John Bogle is a genius and a genius those last two comments were about Mortal Kombat series developer John Bogle Bogle is an artist who has worked on the franchise since its inception and he is mentioned in the audio clips were likely just a fun in Joe Rico is not Shao Kahn no sometimes he's secretly wearing yeah orange helmet this audio is a reference to fan reactions about Rico's ending in Mortal Kombat 4 the console versions of the game right those endings showed him walking through a portal into Shao Kahn's throne room and putting on Kahn's helmet though the ending was just a joke by developers many fans thought the ending was stating that Raikou and Shao Kahn were canonically the same person whether Rico had managed to overthrow the Emperor this same scenario was also joked about specifically in a mission where Shao Kahn sends Reiko warning after hearing a rumor that he had been regularly sneaking into his chamber to wear his helmet that's all for today but don't forget to subscribe to us on YouTube and follow us on Facebook and Twitter make sure you also check out did
