Introduction
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
This is a basic guide to help players beat the computer opponents. It
|
||
is meant for versions 2.1 and Up, of the game.
|
||
|
||
This guide hasn't got any moves or fatalities of the game, if you want them
|
||
then get the latest FAQ from Andy Eddys site [It also defines some of the
|
||
terminology].

||
This guide is my own account of how to beat the computer playing as
|
||
Shang Tsung, the strategies should work for all characters (except the
|
||
ones with straight legs... like Liu Kang, Kung Lao, its harder to do).
|
||
|
||
I also assume as you are playing on the right hand Joystick.....why?
|
||
Well in case you hadn't noticed, when you play on the left hand-side
|
||
the computer is very difficult to beat. Try and jump into Baraka or
|
||
Kitana and you will see they will always get you. Try the same on the
|
||
other side and you will see you can always get them.
|
||
Bad Programming, if you ask me!
|
||
|
||
I will also assume that the game is set on normal to very difficult.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. How to Beat the First Computer Opponent
|
||
==========================================
|
||
|
||
Whoever it is, it can be beaten very easily.
|
||
For the first guy just Jump Kick, then sweep and then crouch and Block
|
||
and then wait for him to come close to you. Then when he walks towards you
|
||
he won`t throw you he will just start punching the air. You just
|
||
push the joystick down and then press HP. This will uppercut him.
|
||
Repeat this as he doesn't get any smarter. You can do this both rounds
|
||
and get a Double Flawless.
|
||
|
||
|
||
2. How to Beat the Second Computer Opponent
|
||
============================================
|
||
|
||
The Second Guy is slightly smarter..... he throws.
|
||
So you have to jump into him straight away and do the jump kick deep
|
||
into its stomach. This will hit it follow it up with a sweep. Jump
|
||
in again, before it gets back up and then jump kick, sweep, sweep,
|
||
move back 2 steps, sweep, move back 1 step, sweep. Jump back and
|
||
repeat from the jump kick. Simple as it doesn't block, but just throws.
|
||
|
||
3. How to beat Liu Kang
|
||
=======================
|
||
|
||
I used to find him pretty difficult. But Hes one of the easiest to beat now.
|
||
Block straight away don't attempt attack him as he will either bicycle
|
||
kick you/Fly Kick. In which case sweep him as he rebounds off you.
|
||
If he does a fly kick then block it and give him an uppercut. Or
|
||
he may fireball you, If he does then you can't do much.....just block.
|
||
(I Christen this as the anticipate-kick method)
|
||
(It works on all the opponents that use a missile weapon that travels
|
||
straight and at medium speed, e.g., Sub-Zero, Raiden, Reptile)
|
||
Once he has made his move walk back slightly, jump back.
|
||
Walk forward and now jump towards him and aim your jump to land right
|
||
in front of him, but not touching him [About 2cm Away] and press LK.
|
||
(When you reach the point shown on the diagram) More likely than not
|
||
he will jump backwards to avoid your kick. Wham!
|
||
It will hit him as he tries to jump back. It will knock back quite
|
||
far for you to sweep him. So repeat the method and get back into position.
|
||
(Done correctly you can get flawless without using any button other than
|
||
LK... hence useful for getting Jade)

4. How To Beat Kung Lao
|
||
=======================
|
||
|
||
You can use the fireball method if you are low on energy. Jump back into
|
||
any corner and then do two fireballs. Keep on doing two fireballs. Lao
|
||
will teleport into your fireballs at exactly the sweep distance. Continue
|
||
to do this method on both rounds.

||

\Edge of screen.
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you don't want to do this method for some reason. Then at the start of
|
||
the round jump kick.... prematurely. It should hit him. If it doesn't then
|
||
he should block and fire his hat at you. Block it and Uppercut him or
|
||
roundhouse kick him. Jump towards him and do the same again. Sweep if he
|
||
lands near you after and uppercut.
|
||
|
||
|
||
5. How to Beat Johnny Cage
|
||
==========================
|
||
|
||
Jump kick towards him straight away, he will either jump kick towards you,
|
||
in which case if you pressed the kick before you see him in the air, you will
|
||
get him, or he will shadow kick towards you..... which should miss as you
|
||
will be in the air. Now when you are about reptiles tongue fatality
|
||
distance, jump towards him and do a deep jump kick (That's the one where you
|
||
aim for his bottom part of the body), It should get him as he will try
|
||
to firebolt you. If it doesn't then press block straight away, he will
|
||
80% of the time firebolt you, block this and then sweep him (You
|
||
should be next to him by now). Don't try to uppercut him as he will
|
||
throw you. Repeat this process from the deep jump kick and blocking.
|
||
Make sure a jump backwards to get the right distance.
|
||
|
||
|
||
6. How to Beat Reptile
|
||
======================
|
||
|
||
I don't particularly like fighting this dude, as he has good defenses.
|
||
Anyway the method I recommend is at the start of the round jump towards
|
||
him and do a jump kick slightly early. He will either try to go invisible
|
||
in which case it will hit him and turn him visible or he will spit at you,
|
||
In which case you should get him and then follow it up with a sweep. Or
|
||
he will jump kick you, if you did your jump kick before his it will get him.
|
||
Now the hard part. The only method that I find works on him very well is
|
||
the anticipate jump kick method. Anticipate at the same distance as Liu
|
||
Kang and it should get him. If he doesn't jump back then he is going to
|
||
spit at you, the anticipate-method if done correctly should land you in front
|
||
of him and when he spits block it and sweep straight away.... otherwise
|
||
he will jump back.
|
||
|
||
|
||
7. How to Beat Sub-Zero
|
||
=======================
|
||
|
||
He can be hard but hes pretty soft most of the time.
|
||
Jump kick towards him and he will either jump kick you or freeze you,
|
||
If he tries to freeze you then block and give him a fast uppercut.
|
||
Sometimes you can do a deep jump kick into him and then sweep him.
|
||
If he's hard as he is just before the question mark then I recommend using
|
||
the anticipate jump kick method. It works great on the guys that are
|
||
normally hard and have good defenses. See Liu Kang.
|
||
|
||
|
||
8. How to Beat Shang Tsung
|
||
==========================
|
||
|
||
I will assume he hasn't Morphed into anyone ..... if he has then
|
||
beat them using the method described. I figured this guy works
|
||
slightly different then the other characters as he has very good
|
||
defenses. Now start the round towards him with a jump kick
|
||
as usual. He should block it. Now he will follow it up with one
|
||
fireball, block this fireball and dont even think of sweeping him
|
||
or uppercutting him as he will always throw you, before you can do
|
||
anything. Instead after you have blocked his fireball jump backwards
|
||
and when you land get ready for him to jump towards you. When he
|
||
does jump towards him and do a jump kick and then sweep. You can
|
||
if you want to fight him jump towards him and jump kick him deep
|
||
so it hits his belt. He should fireball you as you are about to kick
|
||
him. You will see the fireball fly past.... and your jump kick should
|
||
hit him, now follow it up with a sweep.
|
||
|
||
|
||
NB:- When you are in the corner and they are attacking you bend down
|
||
and sweep them.... they will throw you, now jump back. As this is the
|
||
only way if I have found out to get out of the corner... you have to
|
||
sacrifice this small amount of energy as they will walk towards you
|
||
and throw you 3 times, if you dont.
|
||
|
||
|
||
9. How to Beat Kitana
|
||
=====================
|
||
|
||
Kitana is fairly easy to beat as she fires her missiles alot. Jump straight
|
||
into her, as soon as you start the level. She will either jump kick you
|
||
or she will more often than not, throw her fans. Your kick should hit her,
|
||
sweep after it hits her. Now dont jump into her if she is one of the last
|
||
characters left to fight, as she will do her fan lift on you. Wait until she
|
||
gets up and Jump back and walk back for 2 secs, now you can jump into her
|
||
and do a jump kick. She will block it and throw her fan. You give her an
|
||
uppercut and sweep. Jump kick again and block her fan throw, then give her
|
||
an uppercut. If at anytime she starts to punch you repeatedly, block and
|
||
after the third punch do your sweep fast... that should get her.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
10. How to Beat Jax
|
||
===================
|
||
|
||
Jump kick him early, and if it hits him sweep otherwise block and get
|
||
ready for his energy wave. After the energy wave hits your body, uppercut
|
||
him, if he lands close sweep him once. If he lands outside sweeping
|
||
distance you can be abit risky and fire three fireballs (Not really
|
||
recommended if you have little energy or he if near the end of the list).
|
||
He does the energy wave alot and if your uppercuts arent getting him as
|
||
he keeps throwing you every time you try, then wait for his energy wave and
|
||
then sweep and walk back two steps, jump back once. Jump forward towards
|
||
him and get ready for an energy wave. Repeat this procedure.
|
||
|
||
|
||
11. How to Beat Mileena
|
||
=======================
|
||
|
||
She can be quite difficult at times, if she is further up the list.
|
||
If you want you can either jump kick towards her and hope she does fires
|
||
her sais and then sweep her or you can jump back and block and hope
|
||
she does her drop kick and then sweep her. The only method that I have
|
||
discovered that works against her is where you do a jump kick real early
|
||
and aim it so that her heads hits the center of your leg...... she will
|
||
fire her sais, block them and sweep her. Walk back two steps and then
|
||
jump back. If you dont do this she will kick you as you jump back.
|
||
She will often do the ground roll, keep on trying for the jump kick
|
||
method. If you hit her while you do the jump kick, sweep her.
|
||
|
||
|
||
12. How to Beat Baraka
|
||
=======================
|
||
|
||
Jump kick towards him fairly early as he will fire his bolt, and then
|
||
follow it up with a sweep as it will hit him. Walk back two steps and then
|
||
jump back. Jump kick and sweep. If he blocks then jump backwards, he will
|
||
jump towards you so you jump towards and sweep him. This is the simply
|
||
strategy you use for him, repeat the process from the deep jump kick.
|
||
|
||
|
||
13. How to Beat Scorpion
|
||
========================
|
||
|
||
Jump kick towards him straight away, as he will most likely throw his
|
||
spear, and then sweep. Now jump back and wait for him to fire his
|
||
spear, now once he has fired the spear, if you are close, uppercut
|
||
him and then jump kick towards him and sweep. This will get him most of
|
||
the time. The basic strategy for this bloke is jump kick and wait to
|
||
uppercut him and then sweep. If you are desperate then go for the
|
||
anticipate-jump kick method, it doesnt work as good as the others but
|
||
if you are going for Jade, it works sometimes.
|
||
|
||
|
||
14. How to Beat Raiden
|
||
======================
|
||
|
||
The fireball in the corner works on Raiden, not as good as Kung Lao
|
||
but if you time it right it works the same. The other method I use
|
||
is the Anticipate jump kick, mostly. The anticipate jump kick method is
|
||
way I beat him every time.
|
||
|
||
15. How to Beat Kintaro
|
||
========================
|
||
|
||
Morph to Kitana and do the fan lift in the corner and then fan throw and
|
||
uppercut. If you morph back to yourself fire three fireballs. There is
|
||
no proper technique I use for him, so you are going to have to make your
|
||
own. If he starts to jump in the air then jump back at the peak of your
|
||
jump and press HK. If he is at the other end of the screen then fire 3
|
||
fireballs but watch out he may spit his fireballs. You can do your
|
||
missile attack at him in the air and aim for his head.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
16. How to Beat Shao Khan
|
||
==========================
|
||
|
||
The method I use is double buffering the two fireballs. I wait for him
|
||
to point his finger and I am at the opposite side of the screen. I then
|
||
fire two fireballs and quickly fire another two. As soon as the fireballs
|
||
hit him I fire the other two, this way he doesnt have a chance to
|
||
retaliate as he keeps trying to fire his spear at you. This way you can
|
||
get double flawless on him.
