Another long post ahead. I think people should be used to it by now. Anyway.

While the PSX does have more backgrounds and characters, among other things, it's also got some flaws, which the N64 version doesn't have. The pros of the N64 version are significantly overlooked, and I'd like to change that.

Let's start with the finishers. Perhaps the most important pro of the N64 version. Many of the finishers in the PSX version are either downright bad, or half-assed. Here are some examples.

Baraka's impale: The PSX version of it has absolutely no blood. It ends too quickly. The N64 version's, however, is much closer to the original. The opponent actually bleeds and suffers before going through the blades.

Noob Saibot's bounce: Bounces off the floor more times than he does in the PSX version and at a far quicker pace, which makes it all the more hilarious. Sadly everyone has the same male scream, even the women.

Human Smoke's stretching fatality: longer in the N64 version, and more brutal, albeit in a cartoony way.

Ermac's animality: The opponent doesn't scream when eaten whole, which actually adds to the animality imo.

Noob Saibot's animality: in the n64 version, the opponent screams when they are vacuumed up, which makes it funnier.

The friendships of Noob Saibot and Human Smoke: in the N64 version, Shao Kahn says "that was pathetic" after Noob fails to get all the pins. In HS's friendship, when the "no smoking" sign lands, he says "aw man" or at least sounds bummed.

The subway: when the opponent lands on the other side, he/she gets up, dazed, and moves a bit. In the PSX version, the opponent is completely still before getting hit by the train, which looks lame. Not the most important detail I know, but still a nice touch imo.

There are other things the n64 version has the PSX one doesn't, but the finishers were the one difference I wanted to focus on for now. Both versions are great ultimately though.
