Not much new in this one. Keep in mind that these moves should all be treated as unconfirmed, but most appear to be somewhat accurate. The older fatalities were taken from a test version and were changed in the official (version 1.0) release. If you have any additions send mail directly to me and I will include it in the next guide. Moves and fatalities posted to rec.games.video.arcade and alt.games.mk will also be incorporated into this guide. Credit will be given to those who contribute or post moves which are later confirmed. Unconfirmed moves will be marked with (*) in the future. Unconfirmed meaning something that I have not done or witnessed first-hand. Once all the moves and fatalities are confirmed, the guide will cease to be preliminary, and become the real deal. ======== CONTENTS ======== ....Introduction......................................................... ........Welcome to the guide .............................. ........Contents......................................................... ........New additions to the guide....................................... ........Rumors and game secrets.......................................... ....General Moves/Definitions............................................ ........Basic definitions................................................ ........General Moves.................................................... ....Individual Moves/Fatalities/Combos................................... ........Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Johnny Cage, Reptile......................... ........Sub-Zero, Shang TSung, Kitana, Jax............................... ........Mileena, Baraka, Scorpion, Raiden................................ ....Advanced Tips........................................................ ....Credits/Thanks....................................................... ........Credits.......................................................... ........Thanks to........................................................ ....The Unclaimed Moves, etc............................................. ======================= RUMORS AND GAME SECRETS ======================= o New MKII additions include seven new fighters, about four special moves for each character, and some new basic moves, along with all new graphics and backgrounds. There are supposedly two fatalities for each character, and none of the old fatalities were carried over. Scorpion's new fatality is similar to the old one, but now the skeleton twitches and explodes. o Rumors coming out of the AMOA show suggest the possibility of up to three hidden characters. Kano or Sonya could be one of these hidden characters, as they are no longer selectable fighters. They were said to be chained to the background on one of the test versions of MKII, but were not seen in release versions. o A rumor suggests that Shang TSung can turn into Kano and can execute all of the fighters fatalities. ************************************************************************* ***************** General Moves and Definitions ***************** ************************************************************************* ================= BASIC DEFINITIONS ================= Button names are listed in all caps. While reading through the moves, the '+' can be substituted by and, and the '-' can be substituted by then. For example, 'two towards - HIGH PUNCH' should be read as 'press the joystick twice towards the opponent then press HIGH PUNCH'. Another example, 'LOW PUNCH + BLOCK' should be read as 'press LOW PUNCH and BLOCK at the same time'. Forward: press joystick directly towards the opponent. Away : press joystick directly away from the opponent. <number> <postion> : (i.e. two towards) Press the joystick in the -or- indicated position and letting it return to BUTTON the center, repeating <number> times. In this case: to the towards position then letting it return to the center, repeating twice. Quarter-Circle Towards: Move joystick from the down position, to the towards position, then press the button indicated. (actual movement is down - down to towards - towards - BUTTON) Quarter-Circle Away : Move joystick from the down position, to the away position, then press the button indicated. (actual movement is down - down to away - away - BUTTON) Half-Circle Towards : Move jostick from the away postion, to the down position, then to the towards position and then press the button indicated. (actual movement is away - down to away - down - down to towards - towards - BUTTON) Half-Cricle Away : Move joystick from the towards position to the down position then to the away position and then press the button indicated. (actual movement is towards - down to towards - down - down to away - away - BUTTON) Full-Circle Away : Making a complete circle: move from the towards postion to the down postion first. Continue the motion until you return to towards position. Full-Circle Towards : Making a complete circle: move from the away postion to the down position first. Continue the motion until you return to the away position. Hold BUTTON then : Press and hold the button indicated while your release character charges. When finished charging release the button. Other actions may be performed while charging. down - down - up : Often this sequence can be done by just flicking the joystick down and letting it vibrate up and down. (i.e. Raiden's teleport.) BUTTON + (<sequence>) : The indicated button is held while the <sequence> in the parentheses is done and released upon completion of the inclosed sequence. (i.e. BLOCK + (two up)) In this case you would hold Block and then press the joystick twice up (see <number> <position> above). Charge (<number>, : You hold the indicated BUTTON for <number> BUTTON) seconds. (i.e. Charge (5,LOW KICK)) In this case you hold LOW KICK for 5 seconds then release. (see Hold BUTTON then release) '+','"' : It is important to recognize the difference between '+' and '-' which separate controller-button motions. The '+' means to hold the last action while doing the next action. (i.e. BLOCK (two up) + LOW KICK). In this case you would hold BLOCK while two up (see BUTTON (<sequence>)) then releasing BLOCK but still holding the joystick up you would press LOW KICK. The '-' means to release all held buttons before continuing any new motions. You keep the controller in the same position before continuing, however. Just remember the '+' accumulates new buttons or positions (if possible), while the '-' separates them. Also remember, if you don't pause enough between each '-' then the computer will think you're trying a '+' instead. ============= GENERAL MOVES ============= Face Punch : HIGH PUNCH Body Punch : LOW PUNCH Face Kick : HIGH KICK Body Kick : LOW KICK Uppercut : down + HIGH PUNCH (THE GAME CAN'T BE WON WITHOUT THIS!!!)** Stomach Punch: down + LOW PUNCH Crouch Kick : down + HIGH KICK Ankle Kick : down + LOW KICK Roundhouse : away + HIGH KICK Sweep : away + LOW KICK (LEARN THIS BY HEART!!!!) Specialty : HIGH PUNCH (closest to opponent) Throw/Flip : LOW PUNCH (closest to opponent) Knee : HIGH KICK or LOW KICK (closest to opponent) diagram of joystick ------------------- [HIGH PUNCH] [HIGH KICK] up to towards up up to away * * \ | / \ | / [BLOCK] towards - - - * - - - away * / | \ / | \ * * down to towards down down to away [LOW PUNCH] [LOW KICK] [This Diagram is referenced from the right player] ** Unless of course you are a master. I play without this to make people feel salty! (Unless I'm losing, I'm not a patsy either!) *** Unlike Street Fighter, another chimpsy game, pressing away doesn't block. You must press BLOCK to block. A good Mortal Kombatant learns not to use BLOCK but a countering move! Against projectiles, just duck! Why take any needless energy by pressing BLOCK!??!! ************************************************************************* *********** Individual Moves, Fatalities, and Babilities ************ ************************************************************************* ======== LIU KANG ======== Double Forearm : HIGH PUNCH (closest to opponent) Standard Fireball : two towards - HIGH PUNCH (can be done in air) Crouching Fireball: two towards - LOW PUNCH Flying Kick : two towards - HIGH KICK Bicycle Kick : Charge (5,LOW KICK) Fatalities : 1. down - towards - two away - HIGH KICK (Liu Kang will transform into a dragon and bite the victim in half, leaving the legs standing.) 2. ? 3. ? Babality : two down - towards - away - LOW KICK Friendship : towards - three away - LOW KICK *** Hard to master but still is the best fighter, besides Shang TSung of course! ======== KUNG LAO ======== Headbutt : HIGH PUNCH (closest to opponent) Hat Throw : away - towards - LOW PUNCH (can be maneuvered in air) Ground Teleport : two down - up Whirlwind Spin : BLOCK + (two up) + LOW KICK Air Kick : down + LOW KICK Fatalities : 1. three towards - HIGH PUNCH 2. BLOCK + (four towards) - LOW KICK 3. LOW PUNCH (three away - towards) Bability : two away - two towards - HIGH KICK Friendship : ? *** Be Him!! Master him!! He's easy to use and really effective. =========== JOHNNY CAGE =========== Low Green Bolt : quarter-circle towards - LOW PUNCH High Green Bolt : quarter-circle away - HIGH PUNCH Shadow Kick : back - towards - LOW KICK Red Kick : quater-circle away - towards - LOW KICK Shadow Leap : back - down - back - HIGH PUNCH Ball Breaker : down + LOW PUNCH + BLOCK Fatalities : 1. two down - two towards - LOW PUNCH (Cage grabs the victim and rips their torso off, throwing it to the ground.) 2. three down - HIGH KICK 3. a. two towards - down - up (Cage uppercuts one head off) b. down + LOW KICK + BLOCK + LOW PUNCH (Cage uppercuts three heads off) Bability : three down - HIGH KICK Friendship : four down - HIGH KICK (Cage writes you an autograph) *** I ususally don't use Johhny Cage, because he is really meant for the beginning player. I usually play masters. This is a good tip in itself if you read between the lines. (I use him on beginning players, hint, hint.) ======= REPTILE ======= Acid Spit : two towards - HIGH PUNCH Force Ball : two back - HIGH PUNCH + LOW PUNCH Invisibility : BLOCK + (two up) - down + HIGH PUNCH ** Slide : away + LOW PUNCH + BLOCK + LOW KICK Fatalities : 1. a. BLOCK + three down - quarter-circle away - LOW PUNCH b. two away - down - LOW PUNCH (Reptile shoots his tongue towards the victims head, bringing it back where he goes about eating it and rubbing his tummy.) 2. BLOCK + (two up) - down + HIGH PUNCH - two towards - down - HIGH KICK (You're actually turning invisible then doing the fatality.) 3. ? Babality : ? Friendship : two away - down - LOW KICK ** try doing the alternate way of two up - down (see above) - or - ** do the alternate way but hold up on the last flicker release BLOCK then press HIGH PUNCH *** When possible, go invisible! Then just keep doing throws or air attacks. The Slide is effective; and even the force ball, but jump kick right after you do it. Players like to jump kick you over these. ======== SUB-ZERO ======== Ice Particles : quarter-circle towards - LOW PUNCH Ground Freeze : quarter-circle away - LOW KICK Slide : away + LOW PUNCH + BLOCK + LOW KICK Fatalities : 1. towards - down - two towards - HIGH PUNCH 2. two towards - down - HIGH KICK 3. two away - towards - down - up - LOW KICK Bability : down - two away - HIGH KICK Friendship : up - down - HIGH KICK + LOW KICK *** not much needed to be said about old Subby. The programmers were well advised to throw in that Groud Freeze because he was at first pretty weak by my standards. But now, I use him all the time when fighting the computer because the computer is programmed to come towards you! Not a pretty wise maneuver with that Ground Freeze. With the computer you can do a Ground Freeze and a lot of times it will just sit there and wait for it to disappear! (You know what to do! Either slide or do an Air Attack. [i.e. jump kick, jump punch]) =========== SHANG TSUNG =========== Flaming Skulls : two away - HIGH PUNCH (one flaming skull) two away - towards - HIGH PUNCH (two skulls) two away - two towards - HIGH PUNCH (three skulls) Morphs ------ Liu Kang: two away - two towards - BLOCK Kung Lao: away - down - away - HIGH KICK Johnny Cage: two away - down - LOW PUNCH Reptile: BLOCK + (up - down) + HIGH PUNCH Sub-Zero: towards - down - towards - HIGH PUNCH Kitana: BLOCK - BLOCK - BLOCK Jax: down - towards - away - HIGH KICK Mileena: Charge (3,HIGH PUNCH) Baraka: two down - LOW KICK Scorpion: BLOCK + (two up) Raiden: down - away - towards - LOW KICK Fatalities : 1. ? 2. Charge (3,HIGH PUNCH) 3. BLOCK + (up - down - up) - LOW KICK Bability : down - away - towards - down + HIGH KICK Friendship : BLOCK + (two away - down - away + HIGH KICK) *** The problem with Shang TSung is that after a while you automatically morph back into him. Notice there is no way to morph back into him by command (at least not that I'm aware of). Another problem is that someone told me that the programmers of the game, made pretty sure to make the morphs extra sensitive. I advise you not to waste your tokens on Shang TSung until you've mastered a few other characters. The whole idea of using Shang TSung is to mystify your opponent by constantly morphing, and forcing him to use different fighting strategies. It is completely useless and even hindrance to just change into the same person all the time. ====== KITANA ====== Fan Throw : two towards - HIGH PUNCH + LOW PUNCH (can be done in air) Fan Swipe : away + HIGH PUNCH Fan Lift : three away - HIGH PUNCH Air Attack : quarter-circle away - HIGH PUNCH Fatalities : 1. towards - down - towards - HIGH KICK 2. three BLOCK - HIGH KICK 3. LOW KICK + (two towards - down - towards) Babality : three down - LOW KICK Friendship : BLOCK + (three down - up ) - LOW KICK ** ** try pressing down once and then do the alternate two down - up. *** A good combo with her is to get someone in the Fan lift, then when they're at their absolute peak (take's some mastering) do the Air Attack (Same as Sonia's) followed by the Fan Throw, all in the air. ============== JACKSON BRIGGS ============== Overhead Hammer : HIGH PUNCH (closest to opponent, stuns opponent) Ground Smash : Charge (3,LOW KICK) Grab and Pound : two towards - LOW PUNCH (tap LOW PUNCH repeatedly) Quadruple Slam : (throw the opponent) - HIGH PUNCH Energy Wave : half-circle away - HIGH KICK Back Breaker : BLOCK (in the air) Fatalities : 1. LOW PUNCH + (four towards) (Jax claps the victims head with a loud pop, and the skull crumbles in pieces to the ground.) 2. four BLOCK - LOW PUNCH (Jax grabs the victims arms and rips them off, letting the body fall to the ground.) 3. ? Babality : ? Friendship : three down - two up - LOW KICK *** This guy is just loaded with moves, all ineffective if not used in a combo, however. ======= MILEENA ======= Throwing Sais : Charge (3,HIGH PUNCH) Teleport Kick : two towards - LOW KICK Sai Slash : away + HIGH PUNCH Groud Roll : two away - down - HIGH KICK Fatalities : 1. towards - back - towards - LOW PUNCH (close to opponent) (Mileena repeatedly stabs the victim in the stomach, lifting them off the ground with each punch.) 2. towards - down - towards - LOW KICK 3. Charge (3,HIGH KICK) Babality : three down - HIGH KICK Friendship : BLOCK + (three down - up) - HIGH KICK ** ** try pressing down once and then do the alternate two down - up. ====== BARAKA ====== Blade Fury : three away - LOW PUNCH Blue Bolt : quarter-circle away - HIGH PUNCH Blade Swipe : away + HIGH PUNCH Fatalities : 1. a. three away - HIGH PUNCH (close to opponent) b. BLOCK + (four away - HIGH PUNCH) (Baraka extends his blades from his arms, then decapitates the victim with one swipe.) 2. away - towards - down - towards - LOW PUNCH (Baraka stabs the victim and lifts them up, then they slowly slide down the blade.) 3. ? Babality : three towards - HIGH KICK Friendship : two up - two towards - HIGH KICK *** Despite, the lack of moves, Baraka is a really good fighter and even trips me up at times. ======== SCORPION ======== Spear : two away - LOW PUNCH Teleport Punch : quarter-circle away - HIGH PUNCH (can be done in air) Leg Throw : quarter-circle away - LOW KICK (can be done in air) Air Throw : BLOCK (in the air) (it isn't good practice to jump in the air soley to do this move. Only use this when you notice there is a chance.) Fatalities : 1. a. BLOCK + (two up - HIGH PUNCH) (Scorpion removes his mask and breathes fire at the feet of the victim, which then twitches and explodes.) b. BLOCK + (two down - two up - HIGH PUNCH) 2. HIGH PUNCH + (towards - down - three towards) 3. ? Babality : two down - away - HIGH KICK Frienship : two away - down - HIGH KICK *** A good combo with Subby is to face punch then immediately do the Spear. If you're near the corner (not near the edge of the screen! There is a difference; you'll figure it out.) then do the teleport punch followed by another spear. Make sure you guys don't waste a good spear with a chimpsy punch. Either roundhouse kick (good to make sure you get enough time to do a combo) or uppercut! ====== RAIDEN ====== Body Launch : two away - towards (can be done in air) Lightning : quarter-circle towards - LOW PUNCH Teleport : two down - up Electrocution : Charge (5,HIGH PUNCH) (close to opponent) Fatalities : 1. BLOCK + (three up - HIGH PUNCH) 2. Charge (5,LOW KICK) - Repeat (LOW KICK + BLOCK) 3. two towards - away - down - towards + HIGH PUNCH Babality : BLOCK + (two down - up) - HIGH KICK ** Friendship : down - away - towards - HIGH KICK ** try using the alternate two down - up. *** A good combo I use with Raiden (when I notice I'm not playing with someone advanced is to teleport followed by the electrocution. It gets 'em every time! Don't do this, however, with someone who sits there waiting for you to close so they can uppercut you. ************************************************************************* ********************** Advanced Tips *********************** ************************************************************************* ** Often, in the sequence of play, you can substitute a two down - up for a flick of the joystick. Experiment! ** Most controller motions can be done in the air. That means for those moves that weren't designed to be done the air, the controller motion can be done while flying and then pressing the required buttons as soon as you land! ** If you are fast enough you can do more than one fatality or combine fatalities with babilities and/or friendships! ** Rumor has it you can do more than one player's fatality with Shang TSung, if you morph fast enough! ************************************************************************* ********************** Credits and Thanks *********************** ************************************************************************* ======= CREDITS ======= NAME Internet [-----------] [-------------------] Steven Brae..........................................private.........
