@@aakarmamtora3470 MK9 and X are genuinely solid fighting games that I still play to this day. But there's an element to them that's lost that the arcade MKs had. Maybe because it went from a passion project from a bunch of pinball guys to being a juggernaut of entertainment. Maybe it's because Tobias isn't involved. Who's to say.

Sub-Zero’s voice should be the very same as Nightwolf(Dan Forden)! Jon Hey(that matches perfect with Johnny Cage in MKT) doesnt match with him! BTW! Ed Boon’s voice just doesnt match with Shang Tsung, but fits perfectly with Jax, mainly! And… who did MK2 male voice?

The sound hardware between the first three MK games are different; MK1 used the Yamaha YM2151-based FM sound board that been used since the System 11 era (starting with 1986’s Road Kings), but upgraded the speech chip to the OKI ADPCM, which sounds a lot better than the Harris CVSD chip used in Williams’s pinball games. MK2 and MK3, meanwhile, used the DCS Sound System, which is like playing four MP3s simultaneously. MK2 and Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure were the first games to use DCS.
