Motal Kombat was screwed you should do a rematch between the two teams, and the winner gets to go to the semi finals. Because they would have had two matches to start with so they skip the quarter finals.

I like it!! 💖

When we were kids we went to the local convenience store to play SF2. There was always this guy who was like 25, and he was so good. Well, later on we heard they had this new game at another store, Mortal Kombat. We rode our bikes about a mile to play MK. That 25 year old was there. We had no idea what we were doing. Then we started watching him play, and the first time we saw him do a Fatality (Sub-Zero), our minds were blown. We had never seen blood in a video game before, and never seen someone’s head get pulled off. It was amazing. We were addicted.

Thx man for the feedback

Total agreement with that epic double elimination. Not sure if that was a glitch or if Kano's eye can see 360 degrees but it was insane.

This was great. I was a bit confused by the "team tournament" concept at first but I'm really getting into it. Thanks as ever for these videos, Ricky.

Street Fighter was released in 1994 and Mortal Kombat was first released in 1995. I was a Street Fighter guy when it first came out. I didn't play Mortal Kombat until it came to home consoles.

Crazy that the final 2 in a match comprised almost entirely of non-wrestlers characters were a wrestler and a sumo wrestler, and it was the wrestler that won it all. This was Zangief's match from the start.

I keep telling myself I'm going to wait build up a couple or so and binge but always end up watching as soon as I get a notification. Good one man. This was a close fought battle. I actually played both of these games in their arcade format. I liked street fighter II Turbo but Mortal Kombat 2 was absolutely revolutionary. I rode my bike miles to get to the arcade to blow my couple bucks in quarters. The game was unreal. The appeal was entrancing.

Wow. What a great rumble. So competitive. One of the best. Epic Kano eliminations. I had a double elimination like that, but I was on the wrong end of it. I went from 1 to 29. Andre the Giant eliminates someone, I run over to knock him out and he flips me over too. I was so close!! Great video, as always.

Ricky, it doesn't change the winner, but I have the score at 21-19. At 18:36 the counter has the score 6-7 as Q eliminates Jax, but then you awarded Street Fighter 3 points to make it 9-7. Which is weird because you kept saying the correct score in the video. Also, as KgPausA pointed out, Zangief eliminated a teammate and you gave him 2 points instead of 1.

@Hexumonium

Жыл бұрын

Good eye. There were three points given when Q eliminated Jax instead of two. But the counter was later fixed at 23:55 when Zangief eliminated Balrog, and no points were given. However, Zangief should have only been awarded one point for eliminating E. Honda instead of two, making the final score 23-20 Street Fighter.

The mortal kombat movie in the early 90s was O.P.

Awesome video love the creativity and effort to get all the little details in every character And environment 🙌🙌🙌

On one hand you could say the self elimination of Kung Lao cost MK team. However the survival instincts of Zangief on the receiving end of a Superkick to send him over the top... I can't remember seeing someone surviving that! Surely he was gone. But no! Incredible.

I have to give (MC) slightly above (SF) in the era of arcade games I played back in the 80’s. Wow that was close Ricky! Possibly the most competitive rumble in all the seasons combined! It was a flawless victory for SF! Thank you Ricky!🥷🥷🥷🥷 rating!! Cheers, Mike L 😎🇨🇦✌🏼

Here is a fun fact most gamers do not know: the title Mortal Kombat is actual based off an old Nordic Scandinavian church song. A Finnish Hymn

Kudos to the one who made the Mortal Kombat arena! I love it!

What a great Rumble Ricky! I´m a Fan of both SF and MK so this was a Treat. Too sad that my Boy Guile came in as #2.

Absolutely loving these arenas lately brother!!!! #teamMK

3 live action Mortal Kombat movies in the mid 90's, 2 animated movies plus some attempts at tv shows, and a web series, the web series is my favorite

GREAT Rumble! A lot of excitement and action. Kano did amazing things.

I love Mortal Kombat!! Hey Ricky.. ever thought of Team Kingdom Hearts Vs. Final Fantasy? Or did I miss it? You and these subscribers are talented and smart!

Oh boy what a rumble! Are you gonna do a superbowl prediction rumble? Would love to see a special with both nfl teams in the new format. Maybe with special points like 7 for opponents and 3 for team member eleminations so we get a high scoring game 🤩 I payed SF2 on Super Nintendo and game boy but I had a friend in school and he had MK (and we watched Bloodsport all the time). MK was always the more mystical and cool game for me. Plus it has the way better movie. But I was never good at it because we switched to tekken 3 as we both got playstation consoles.

Awesome Kano, great double elimination

13:09 That is correct. In the original Japanese version of the game Balrog is named M. Bison (a pun on M. Tyson). But they swapped a few of the character names when the game was released internationally to avoid getting sued for portraying the likeness of a real individual. M. Bison became Balrog, Vega became M. Bison, and Balrog became Vega.

Woot woot! Way to go Zangieff! He was my 1st street fighter character I learned. I loved both games, sorry didn't favor one over the other. Eventhough street fighter came out first. As for the movies, I liked the mortal Kombat movies by far. Street fighter movie was decent when I came out. Jean Claude Van Dam I liked at the time.

Final score is 23:20! Zangief eliminated his team mate, wich is only 1 point, not 2.

With Kano's eliminating back to back may want to consider a elimination of the night like fight of the night ufc. Or to the character who eliminated the most characters in a match replying them at the end of your videos. Just a thought

The 2021 MK movie was actually the 3rd live-action movie, as there were two in the mid-90s.

Definitely a Mortal Kombat guy if I had to choose. Kinda sad two of my favorites were one and two. Guile was always my guy on Street Fighter. If not him it was Chun Lee. But I mean MK has Raiden, Scorpion, and Sub Zero. So whatever happens happens but definitely pulling for the MK crew. As usual uou came up with another great matchup Ricky.

Awesome match came all the way to the end. Kano kicked some butt. We need a Tekken team, & or a DEAD or ALIVE team also. to add to the fighting type games.

I love them both with Mortal Kombat takes the edge for me!

Great video as usual brother! Also, the arena is amazing!

Love it lad, keep them coming :D

I think this is the Royal Rumble where it makes a lot of sense for each team to attack each other. All the times everyone on a team killed each other in the game in the past.

WOW WHAT GREAT ACTION IT WAS TIGHT THE WHOLE WAY AS EXPECTED. SOME AWESOME MOMENTS. HAHAHAHA I WAS MORE OF AN MK PLAYER BUT ENJOYED BOTH BUT FAVORED MK

Hey Ricky, in Japan, the SF2 world warrior names are different than in other parts of the world. Balrog was based on Mike Tyson and his name is M.Bison (a pun on Tyson's name). Therefore M.Bison is called Vega here. On top of that Vega is called Balrog. The reason is that the Japanese pronunciation actually is Bar-log or a person who hangs out in a bar. And where do you fight him? In a bar. It's wacky how they change things when sending them overseas (maybe they thought the Tyson camp would sue?)

They weren't worried about a lawsuit. That was when the rape allegations against Mike Tyson came out and they wanted to distance their characters from him.

This was a very excellent rumble between two great fighting games. That Kung Lao self elimination was indeed the turning point in this rumble, and congrats to Team Street Fighter for sealing the win. I was more of a Street Fighter guy growing up than Mortal Kombat, so I'm glad Street Fighter won. Another excellent rumble, Ricky! When am I going to get to see that MLB Vs. NHL rumble? Lol.

PS: Ironman Awards go to Scorpion, Reptile and especially Kano! They all lasted a while. I had a bad feeling Kano after that huge second wind full of eliminations wasn't going to have enough to take out Zangief and E.Honda. >.

Awesome!

Yoooo!!! That ring is sick!!

You should definitely consider doing a rumble with Killer Instinct involved, I grew up playing Killer Instinct and I think I'd be an awesome rumble

That was great

Bro you’re killing me.. Mortal Kombat came out in the 90s and was definitely the better movie

I always preferred Street Fighter. My best friend as a kid preferred MK, but we both enjoyed both. Kind-of sfun little story... I remember one time when I went to the cinema, I was waiting to be picked up, and decided to play on the Street Fighter II machine and, since I'd had the game for ages at home, I was winning pretty easily (Guile most likely. Was kind-of my go-to), and when my parents turned up, there was a small group of younger kids watching and I just let one of them take over. I'm pretty sure I made that kid's week with that. I'm curious btw, given most or all of these will have plenty of creation options, do you go more for visual accuracy or good custom move-sets? Also how comes so many obscure SF characters instead of like T hawk, Fei Long, Dee Jay or Dan?

A superbowl match up would be cool also once we know which 2 teams make it.

Reptile with the mist was the highlight!

Street fighter for me! Still have the game and super Nintendo I played it on at family gatherings growing up

Ending is essentially Braun stroman eliminating Yokozuna lol, one of your best booked rumbles ever (top 3 for me)

I was a fan of both, but Street Fighter was by far my favorite. Vega was my favorite character. A fast vain serial killer type character.

Cool dude

Another awesome rumble Ricky great job The only real fun game fighting game that I ever played was killer instinct the only one I was really good at anyway Wayback in the day

mortal Kombat had it then a self elimination wow well a good showing to both games

Street Fighter for me, by a significant margin. All the basic MK attacks being functionally identical between all the fighters was a turn off, and I was never particularly enamored of the Fatalities.

Nice competitive Rumble there RJ. I don’t think there should be a redemption rumble unless you extend the tournament to 32 teams instead of 16.

Another awesome royal rumble of course and excellent commentary ofcourse by ricky j. And not for nothing but im still calling ryu by the first ryu ever known. Ryu as in R. I. U. I just still pronounce his name like that. Because R.e.u? Sounds way off for his name to even be known or pronounced to me. I just go with R.I.u. ryu. Just because his name was questioned on its pronunciation. But still ofcourse another great royal rumble. God bless always and peace. 1. 1. Only at Ricky j sports, its in the game.

I liked Mortal Kombat. There were three Mortal Kombat movies, the first in 1995, then the sequel MK: Annihilation in 1997, then the reboot in 2021. And the tv series which only lasted one season in '98-'99

As far as my thoughts on a 'redemption' team at some point in this tournament, you would think 'Mortal Kombat' would be up for consideration because up until that one turning point against their favor they were on their way to victory. So far, my choice for a redeeming team lies on the 'Ultimate Fighter Championship' group because even though they lost their tournament match by points... 'technically' one of their own 'still' won the match. It can't be ignored that the UFC are so far the only losing team that actually 'won' a rumble under a technicality. I just feel like their accomplishment shouldn't be ignored... unless this happens again during the first round.

Here's something interesting to consider: Mortal Kombat had a five-point lead going into the final four and could have prevented Street Fighter from winning by eliminating one of themselves. I don't know how I feel about that. Here's what I'm saying: Let's say Kano eliminated Quan Chi, which would bring the lead up to six points. Now, even if Zangief beat both Kano and E. Honda himself, that would only earn him six points! So, in this scenario, it is safer to eliminate your own teammate. Granted, you are now in a handicap match. But even if you only manage to take out just one of them, you've still won the rumble by a whopping four points. It is better to take out your teammate than to allow your opponent to. The difference is three points.

Awesome royal rumble, i'd like to see horror characters VS cartoons characters

Balrog was originally supposed to be the name of the final boss but they were afraid of the boxer character being named Mike Bison would get them sued so they switched them.

Team one vs team 30 w/ wildcards Animation vs. anime Inoaii family vs the Wyatt family Age vs experience Hope to see you use one of these ideas brother!

Street Fighter for life

I don't know if you tried this.. but have a poll and have people vote for favorite characters.. and put them in from least voted to most voted.. so we see all the best people last

Not trying to give a non answer but probably spent the most time and had the most fun on the different Street Fighter 2 games but over all loved the first four Mortal Kombat games more than the first Street Fighter games.

Honda and Zangief were my guys in SF II

This match is the reason we don't need point chaining and extra points for winning the rumble for that matter. You got Kano in there kicking ass and taking names, giving his team a 5-point lead. Now you've got a final four with two representatives from each team. Then, the freshest wrestler E. Honda goes and eliminates both Quan Chi and our boy Kano, bringing that 5-point deficit down to one. Now, it would be fair if only one point was awarded to either E. Honda or Zangief at this point to create a tied game. That would be exciting. But unless something dopey like Kung Lao eliminating himself happens again, Street Fighter is inevitably going to win by points. Normally five points are awarded in a match for eliminating 3-5 other contenders. That is a lot of work. How are you gonna let E. Honda come in all fresh at the end of the rumble and take the MVP Kano out of the picture like that? Rude. Now that's what I call an upset. But it's true that the final contender might not get as many elimination opportunities as the rest of the wrestlers, so maybe you could argue that fairness balances out.

Let's go Mortal Combat

Definitely double check the score

This was definitely the best one of these Rumbles so far. Usually be entrant 20, one team has really started running away with it.

MK guy. We used to stay up all night playing.

I do think the entries being random would still work, just saying, love a little controversy. And surprise from you

Tekken vs King of Fighters would be great tournament.

The story of Balrog is that his original name, in the Japanese version of Street Fighter II, is M. Bison. This of course occurred right after the Mike Tyson rape conviction. Also in the Japanese version, Vega is whom was originally named Balrog, and the final boss M. Bison was named Vega. Before the North American release, it was thought that a boxer with a name M. Bison would sound similar to M. Tyson, an obvious parody of the real boxing figure. Wisely they changed the names of the three SF2 bosses to what we know of them as now.

I would love to see a Horror movie team vs A hero team
