RQ87's video: Mortal Kombat II playthrough Super 32X 1CC

Playthrough with Scorpion. The 32X version of this game frequently seems to get labelled as being the best version of the mid-'90s console generation, but I think it gets overrated. Rather than being an all new port, it's an upgraded version of the Genesis game, improvements include more colors, some more background details (such as the chains in the deadpool stage), more voices and more animation frames -one of the main changes is that characters now have their low punches, in the Genesis version the low punches were all uppercuts. The intro was partially added, featuring all of the story scenes, but the brief clips showing characters doing moves are all missing. And now on to the negatives, which there are a lot of. This version only runs at 30 frames per second, leading to some choppiness at times. This seems to happen a lot on the deadpool stage, and the stage where you fight Kintaro. The endings don't feature the correct images (the SNES version had these!), instead they just use character's profile images. The trees don't roar in the forest stage (again, the SNES version did have this) and Kitana/Mileena/Jade have the wrong death scream (see 7:47). I also felt that there was some input lag whilst playing this, it probably doesn't help that the CPU AI is HORRIBLE, with it cheating and reading you inputs like crazy. Scorpion's air throw doesn't seem to work anywhere near as well as it does in the arcade version. The CPU also seems to have the ability to "run"... look at Jax's legs at around 4:41 and 4:44... do you see the way he suddenly speeds up? Like it's not difficult enough already, and the CPU gets to do stuff like this. And yeah I apologize for the buzzing throughout this video. I think my 32X is on its last legs, but thankfully this is the last 32X game I had to do a playthrough of. This is also the Japanese version of the game, but as usual all the in-game text is in English, only the box and manual were translated into Japanese.
