- Moves for Mortal Kombat
-
- Note : When I specify a direction of the joystick, forward is the direction
- your character is facing.
-
- Raiden : One of the most powerful Kombatants, Raiden has average speed several
- moderate special moves, and the hardest death scene.
-
- Lightning bolt : Just like a Street Fighter II Fireball. Start in the down
- position, and move it in a circular motion to forward and press low punch.
-
- Football Tackle : Tap backward twice and forward once. This is best done with
- both hands.
-
- Disappearing move : Technically it`s down twice and up once. But its a lot
- easier to place your finger on top of he joystick, flick it toward yourself,
- and let it shake.
-
- Death Scene : Get right up to them, tap forward twice, back three times, and
- high punch. It`s easier to do it with two hands.
-
- Scorpion : A pretty good character. A little short on moves, but they are very
- effective ones. He`s the best guy to beat new people with. He has average
- speed, a couple of good special moves, and the easiest death scene.
-
- Rope Spear : Tap back twice and press low punch.
-
- Disappearing move : hold forward for a bit, than move the joystick in a half-
- circle to back, and press high punch.
-
- Death Scene : Get about three or four steps back, hold block and tap up a few
- times.
-
- Liu Kang : Liu Kang is hard to master, but excellent once you do. He is very
- fast, has a couple of great special moves, and a very easy death scene. Overall
- one of the best characters, but hard to use.
-
- Fireball : Tap forward twice and press high punch.
-
- Charging Kick : Tap forward twice and press high kick.
-
- Death Scene : Start at any distance walking forward and rotate the joystick so
- it`s moving to down, and complete a full circle.
-
- Sonya : One of the best, and definitely the most underrated, characters. She is
- very fast, has several good special moves, and a fairly easy death scene.
-
- Sonic Blast : Back twice and low punch.
-
- Leg Throw : Hold down and press the low punch, low kick, and block at the same
- time.
-
- Flying Fist : Tap forward, tap back, and press high punch. This move will
- counter any in-the-air the move, any give your opponent a headache to boot.
-
- Death Scene : Tap forward twice, back twice, block. This can be done
- from almost any distance.
-
- Sub-Zero : Old Subby doesn`t have many moves but they`re killers. He has
- average speed, a couple of great moves, and a somewhat tough death scene.
-
- Freeze : Just like Raiden`s Lightning.
-
- Slide : Just like Sonya`s leg throw execpt hold back.
-
- Death Scene : Tap forward, down, forward, and press high punch.
-
- Kano : A pretty good character, especially once you master his moves. He has
- average speed, a few good special move, and a hard to master death scene.
-
- Energy Axe : Hold block, and move the joystick back and then forward.
-
- Roll : Move the joystick in a complete circle, starting from forward and
- proceeding to the down, and continue until it moves in a complete circle.
- Note : Both of these moves mentioned are hard to do, and slow to execute.)
-
- Head butt : Get in close and press high punch. This is not REALLY a special
- move but does deserve mention.
-
- Death Scene : Get right up to them, walk forward some, move the joystick to
- back in a strait line, do a half circle to forward, and press low punch.
-
- Johnny Cage : A good character to use against the computer and new players,
- but tends to be defeated by experienced players. He is the fastest characer in
- the game, has several good special moves, and a simple death scene.
-
- Fireball : Tap back twice forward and low punch at the same time.
-
- Shadow Kick : Tap back twice, and move it to forward while pressing low kick.
-
- Ball Punch : Press block and low punch.
-
- Fast Uppercut : Although not a special move this move deserves mention. Johnny
- has the quickest uppercut in the game, and can beat anyone to this move. It`s
- done just like a regular uppercut.
-
- Death Scene : Get right up to them, tap forward three times, and press high
- punch.
