- The following is the moves list for MK. Do not mail me about it, I'm
- just repeating a post from rec.games.video.arcade. That is the proper forum for
- questions on Mortal Kombat, so don't bring them up here. This is alt.games.sf2.
- Any questions, comments, or inquries on MK, Reptile, etc. should go to that
- newsgroup.

- I think I finally have it right. I've added many minor corrections over the
- weeks and I don't think I need to change anything else. Of course there
- are different ways of doing things. For example a half-circle for Scorpion's
- teleport will work just as well as a quarterspin. I'm just posting what's
- _required_, y'all have your own styles and preferences, I'm sure :)
-
- I've found this list to be so good, that I'm reposting it for everyone's
- benefit (hopes it saves you as many quarters as it did me =)
- I've added some of my own stuff. =)
-
- This is a compilation of moves from various sources.
-
- GENERAL MOVES:
- back + low kick = foot sweep
- low + any punch = uppercut
- repeated low punch = jab punches (low damage, fast)
- repeated high punch = jab punches (more damage, fast)
- low + low kick = upward kick (pretty much the only move that goes thru jab
- punches)
- low kick = knee
- back + high kick = roundhouse high kick
- close, forward + low punch = throw
-
- halfspin = (if to left of opponent)
- O- / | \ -O
- O O O
-
- SPECIAL MOVES:
- Cage:
- green firebolt = back,forward,low punch
- slide kick = back,forward,low kick
- groin punch = down+block+lowpunch
- fatality: uppercuts your head clean off your body
- THREE times forward,high punch
-
- Kano:
- spin = spin joystick from forward (clockwise if left of opponent,
- ccl if right of opponent) + punch
- knife = block + wiggle
- headbutt = close & highpunch
- fatality: pulls out your still beating heart
- halfspin + lowpunch, also back-forward + lowpunch
-
- Raiden:
- lightning = quarterspin from duck to forward,lowpunch
- flying attack = back, back, front
- teleport = down, up
- fatality: lightning at close range blows your head off
- TWO times forward, THREE times back, high punch
-
- Liu Kang:
- fireball = doubletap forward + highpunch
- flying kick = doubletap forward + highkick
- fatality: cartwheel kick and uppercut
- spin joystick (cw if you're left of opponent, else ccw)
-
- Scorpion:
- harpoon = back, back, lowpunch
- teleport punch = quarterspin from low to back, highpunch
- fatality: takes off mask (skull underneath), and
- chars you to a crisp with his flame breath
- block(held), up, up. distance about 6 feet (a bodylength).
-
- Sub-Zero
- freezeray = quarterspin from low to forward, lowpunch
- slide = back + bottom three buttons
- fatality: pulls out your head and spine (really gross)
- quarterspin from down to forward + high punch
- forward, down, forward + high punch
- | \ -0 + High Punch (if left of opponent, reverse if right)
- 0 0
-
- Sonya:
- leg throw = crouch + bottom three buttons
- flying attack = forward, back, highpunch
- sonic rings = lowpunch, back + lowpunch OR
- just keep hitting the lowpunch and back repeatedly
- fatality: kiss of death. blows fireball off her palm
- that crisps you down to a skeleton
- TWO times forward, TWO times back, block
-
- STRATEGIES
- For Sonya, there are a few good combos. Jumping when the opponent closes in
- on you, then doing a high punch as you come down, does a lot of damage.
- (Actually that move is good for anyone.) Then, doing a foot sweep followed
- by a leg throw (or 2 =) is a really good combo. Personally I like to leg
- throw everyone across the screen over and over, but usually this doesn't
- work after the second time in a row, so I'll do a flying kick at them.
- Against Raiden, if you can time it right, when he comes flying at you, block,
- then do a flying attack and you'll nail him in the air.
- There's more but I've added enough (and I'm tired =)
-
- double tapping downs and backs makes move easier
- Hit the guy once....easy with most. For instance, with Sub Zero just
- slide as your first move. Then low punch high punch low high etc
- He'll just sit there inching forward and blocking. Time runs out and
- you win on points.
-
- Actually, alternating high low works against a lot of the computer players.
- They just keep walking into it. Adding a freeze or whatever after a few
- iterations usually raps it up (yes, this is on Version 2).
-
- For Goro, knock him down once, and walk up to him and as soon as he is
- getting up, give him at uppercut (low+any punch). It will always
- knock him down (he doesn't block!)
-
- FATALITIES:
- Johnny Cage: Knocks your victim's head off.
- Move right next to your victim and tap towards him/her
- THREE + times and finish it off with a high punch.
-
- Kano: Rips your victim's heart out(still beating)
- Get next to your victim and then tap towards once and then
- perform a half circle starting at back and then finish
- up at forward , then hit the low punch button.
-
- Sub-Zero: Rips his/her head off with the spine intact.
- A couple different ways to do this one, I'm printing the
- easiest here. Get next to your opponent and perform a
- quarter turn starting at duck and moving it towards your
- victim, finish it off with a high punch.
-
- THE FOLLOWING THREE REQUIRE YOU TO BE AT THE RIGHT DISTANCE WHICH IS
- ABOUT 2 CHARACTER LENGTHS AWAY. ONCE YOU FIND THE RIGHT DISTANCE YOU
- CAN GET IT ABOUT EVERY TIME.
-
- Liu Kang: Does a double-kick thingy and uppercuts.(not real impressive)
- Clockwise circle if left of opponent, Counter-clockwise
- if right.
-
- Raiden: Electrocutes your victim causing his/her head to blow-up.
- Tap TWICE towards your victim and then THREE times away
- from him/her then hit the high punch.
-
- Scorpion: Pulls his mask off and burns his victim.
- The other easy one to pull off. Hold down block and tap
- up TWICE.
-
- SONYA'S DEATH MOVE CAN BE PERFORMED AT ANY DISTANCE.
-
- Sonya: The "Kiss of Death" chars her victim to a crisp.
- Tap TWICE towards your victim and tap TWICE away from
- from him/her then hit the block button.
