~Mortal Kombat II Kintaro Tips. KINTARO is the EASIEST character in the game!!! Unless you have a fast Pentium, then you can't time properly. The key here is timing. Kintaro is ultra-stupid. With any character, jump at him from about starting distance away. DON'T TOUCH ANY ATTACKS! Then you will see stupid Kintaro wave his arms like an uppercut or something as you approach him. If you pushed an attack the uppercut will knock you hard. If you pushed nothing, the arms still look like they hit you or touched you, but they don't!!! So all you have to do is push kick after you see his arms in the air. Essentially, you will be kicking his knees. Remember, all of this happens before you touch the ground. It is just a normal jump kick with a bit of a timing trick to kill stupid Kintaro. He also falls for footsweep traps, i.e. setup a footsweep for him to walk into, and also will get hit if he tries to stomp you and you jump back with a fast kick.
