The fact that his voice has clearly gotten more gravelly and raspy due to aging makes it sound better, imo.

Facts!

Steve Ritchie has been suffering from a disease known as tinnitus for years now. Apparently, it's a disease that effect's a person's hearing. Years ago, he estimated that he would be deaf by this year 2013. Whether or not he is currently completely deaf is unknown. I know that everyone wants him back as the voice of Shao Kahn (myself included)....but it's highly unlikely that it will ever happen. His voice over work for Shaolin monks is extremely underrated. IMO, he was at his best on this.

I think that Ward E. Sexton could also voice Shao Kahn, no worse than Steve Richie. I like both of their votes in the history of the voice acting !!

Steve will always be the best but Fred Tatasciore, who voices him in the recent animated films, is the closest thing we've gotten to Steve.

I am actually really kinda sad that the last few MK games didn't have steve ritchie for the announcers voice and Shao Khans voice, He was the best Shao Khan ever and his voice work is exceptional. I have to say that his work in MK Shaolin Monks is the best I have ever heard and would love if MKX gave us an option to choose Steve Ritchie as a system voice announcer for MKX and future MK games

2:24 The most intimidating "Fatality" voiceovers in any of the games.

I can totally see Steve Ritchie dubbing over Shao Kahn's voices in 9, X, and 11. It's beautiful...

Shao Kahn: don't fail me again Shang Tsung 3:32 Shang Stung after failing shao Kahn 3:35!!.

Old but SPRY!! You gotta remember, Richie did these lines 10 to 12 years after MK2 and MK3. So it wont sound totally the same but it still sounds just as menacing and just as awesome!!! Some of these I never even heard in MKSM and the ones I did hear were never this clear(always background music). If anything, he sounds like a slightly aged Kahn.

Didn't the mixing and special effects make him sound the way he did in MK 3 and 3?

This announcer is more intense then the MK9 announcer by far.

Omgggg he still got it ! That Rrround One was perfect just like in mk2

Best Shao Kahn voice.. totally badass :D

Bob Carter is my favourite Shao Kahn and Jamieson Price is my favourite “announcer guy”. However, I do agree that Steve Ritchie’s take was, for lack of a better term, fuckin’ amazing. Ritchie’s unique, aged rasp gives off a sort of... otherworldly menace to the emperor, and he is the one that drills Shao Kahn’s taunts into any MK fans heads. I also have garnered great respect for Ritchie as a game designer. Godspeed, Ritchie.

The FINISH HIM is just too good. Why didnt they keep it.

thanks a lot man, I was looking for it for a long time! Steve Ritchie is the best voice of Shao Kahn!

I LOVE THIS! Steve Ritchie is the best Shao Kahn ever, and I always loved that he came back for MK:SM. It's a shame that they dropped him for other Shao Kahn voices. This totally should have been in MK9 with these taunts. =(

He has a disease so he can't really hear well

Best MK announcer of all time. I hope MK1 sounds like this

Steve’s voice can actually be taken seriously, unlike MK 9's goofy clown kahn.

Best Shao Kahn voice ever

3:34 That would be great bad luck type of music. I ask a girl out & she says "Sorry, I already have a boyfriend" or "Actually, I'm engaged". That music plays in my head. While driving & suddenly, car troubles occur, that music plays. There are plenty more bad luck type scenarios where this music would play in my head but I don't feel like listing them all.

Out of all announcers and fatalities from every Mortal Kombat, this one not only has an intimidating voice, but the Fatalities are far more brutal than Mortal Kombat 9

@MortalKombatVanquish that would be mighty cool, no one ever ripped announcer audio for MKA, just like no one did it before in Shaolin Monks, until you did it =D I collect this stuff, sometimes it comes handy :) Thanks a lot =D

The best Shao Kahn Voice

I have to say that this version of Shao Kahn is my favorite.

This is truly him at his absolute best, everyone loves to remember his 90s Kahn voice but this completely shits on that.

Shao Kahn is Unstoppable

@redield21, because the 1st few MK games came out in the early 90s. Shaolin Monks came out in 05. This is him doing the voice of Shao Kahn like 14 years after he did it in the past. IMO, he sounded way better in this game, than he sounded in the 90s, way more fearsome. Its unfortunate he has an illness right now.

best voice evaaar

i still have no idea why they don't still use him, he's the perfect voice for MK.

I have one question, by any chance you could rip announcer audio from MK Armageddon? Of course if you have the game. I'm especially looking for all fatality announcements, from fatality up to ultimate fatality.

Why they never bring him back in mk1 or mk11

@rko619wrestlingfan the reason why Steve Ritchie isn't Shao Khan anymore is because he's suffering from tinnitus and he predicts that he will be deaf by 2013, its sad.

While he does have a hearing aid he is obviously not deaf now and it's 2018 .

When the laughs began, i had to laugh too haha

Steve Ritchie is good but the director didn't do a good job at this.

I think Shang Tsung just died! "Don't fail me again, Shang Tsung!" *FATALITHEME*

All great but the one that starts at 3:29 sounds just like he did in MK2 & 3. Awesome.

Download link dead... :'(

The download link is broken.

Sounds like Liam Neeson :D

Think you could get around to MK9 Shao Kahn and his quotes from battle too? =)

Impossible!

Why couldn't be the voice for MK9? It would've fitted so much more.

I grew up with Steve Ritchie doing the voice, but anyone who thinks that he is the only one who can needs to go play MK Armageddon. Play Konquest mode and come back and tell me that guy whoever he is doesn't deserve to voice Shao Kahn. The guy they got to do the voice for Shao Kahn in Armageddon's Konquest mode is WAAY better than the MK9 one.

Add "stevie ritchie" to the vide tags that's the voice from the announcer in MK II, MK3, UMK3 and MK:SM. Greetings.

easily the true voice of mortal kombat. i never liked the new guy why hasn't he been used anymore? i'm surprised he did this. i thought after mk trilogy he didn't do anymore atleast he did this i guess.

@MagicalFlare You seem to be a SK-Fangirl at the same title as I am... His voice seduced me as well!
