With the aid of Goro he was to unbalance the furies and doom the planet to a chaotic existence. By seizing control of the Shaolin Tournament he tried to tip the scales of order towards chaos. Only seven warriors survived the battles and Shang Tsung's scheme would come to a violent end at the hands of Liu Kang. Facing execution for his failure and the apparent death of Goro, Tsung convinces Shao Kahn to grant him a second chance. Shang Tsung's new plan is to lure his enemies to compete in the Outworld where they will meet certain death by Shao Kahn himself. Now the Kombat Kontinues... ************************************************************************* ************************* Introduction ************************** ************************************************************************* Welcome to the tenth anniversary edition! ALL moves and fatalities listed are now confirmed. This guide is for game versions 2.0 and up. Older machines do not include some of the moves and most of the fatalities. If you find yourself playing on an outdated machine, have the owner contact Midway for the new replacement chips. 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. This guide will be posted every WEDNESDAY until all the moves and fatalities are discovered. Keep in mind that this is posted ONCE a WEEK, and some moves may not be on the latest revision. Andy Eddy of GamePro magazine has generously offered to make this guide available through FTP. The site is netcom.com, and the directory is pub/vidgames/faqs. Thanks Andy! By popular vote, the order in which the fighters appear will not be changed. Thanks to everyone who responded. Also, I had no time this week to complete the strategy section, but I was able to add all new critical information. Look for Friendships and Babalities in the next draft along with Kintaro and Shao Kahn strategy. ************************************************************************* ***************** General Definitions and Moves ***************** ************************************************************************* =================== GENERAL DEFINITIONS =================== While reading through the moves, the + can be substituted by and, and the - can be substituted by then.

The sweep will hit them as they hit the ground. o Sweep - Throw: After hitting a human opponent with a sweep, you can sometimes get in a throw, even if they are blocking down and away. You can also get in a throw after hitting them with moves other than the sweep, such as a jump kick or roundhouse. This only works with some of the characters. o Jump Kick - Hop Kick: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do a hop kick. This works well for some of the characters, including the ninjas and Shang Tsung. o Jump Kick - Missile Weapon: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the missile weapon. It is important to kick them low and deep so you can land on the ground quickly and fire your missile weapon. Be sure to buffer the move right before you jump kick if you can. ======== LIU KANG ======== Standard Fireball: This is a good missile weapon to follow after a jump kick since it can be fired very quickly. It also may be done in the air, which is useful for hitting jump opponents out of the sky. Doing the fireball in the air can also be used for dodging missile weapons. If you are jumping and your opponent fires their missile weapon, do the fireball while still in the air to stay above it. Crouching Fireball: This is a very effective move to keep the opponent on his toes. The opponent must block or jump in order to avoid it, just ducking can not escape it. This is good at long range or short range and is very hard to retaliate to. The crouching fireball is very good for defense as well, since Kang is very low to the ground. A late jump kick is the only way to hit him while he is crouching. It can also be used to hit the opponent when they are using their missile weapon, and Kang is low enough to avoid their missile. Flying Kick: This is a fast attack good for catching your opponent off guard. While walking towards your opponent, tap forwards then press HIGH KICK when you suspect your opponent will make a move. The flying kick is also good to use after a jump kick. If your opponent jumps away from you or just in front of you execute the flying kick to hit them out of the air. Be cautious with it though, and never do it across the screen against a blocking opponent. You are likely to lose quite a bit of damage if blocked. Bicycle Kick: Another good suprise attack move. Keep your finger on LOW KICK throughout the round so you can use it when necessary, performing other moves while charging. As with the flying kick, do not use it when far away from your opponent or while they are standing and blocking. It is good to use when your opponent jumps away or towards you. Also, if you are thrown or jump kicked, immediately use it when you stand up to catch your opponent off guard. Make sure you release LOW KICK while standing on the ground, otherwise the move will not work and you will have to recharge. o Jump Kick - Flying Kick: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the flying kick. Start the two forward motion right before you hit, then quickly press HIGH KICK. Sometimes if you do the flying kick to fast you will go over your opponent, so make sure you are on the ground first. o Hop Punch - Standard Fireball: Hop punch your opponent in the air and immediately do the standard fireball. Start the two forward motion right before you hit, then quickly press HIGH PUNCH. o Jump Kick - Bicycle Kick: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the bicycle kick. Be sure to charge the bicycle kick a few seconds before you jump. Wait until you land on the ground before releasing LOW KICK, otherwise the bicycle kick will not work. o Jump Kick - Standard Fireball - Low Fireball: Jump kick your opponent and immediately do a high fireball. Start the two forward motion right before you hit, then quickly press HIGH PUNCH. If you are fighting the computer, you can follow the standard fireball with a ground fireball, which the computer will not block. If you are fighting a human, use the bicycle kick after the standard fireball. ======== KUNG LAO ======== o Jump Kick - Hat Throw: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the hat throw. Be sure to guide the hat down so it hits the falling opponent. =========== JOHNNY CAGE =========== o Jump Kick - Shadow Kick: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the shadow kick. o Jump Kick - Shadow Uppercut: Jump kick you opponent low and immediately do the shadow uppercut. You must kick low and deep and do the shadow uppercut as fast as possible, otherwise it will be to late to connect. This is easier when close to the corner. o Jump Kick - Low Bolt: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the low green bolt. After starting the jump kick, keep the joystick in the away position, so you can quickly do the half-circle motion right after you hit. o Ball Breaker - Turn Around Kick - Shadow Kick: Do the ball breaker against your opponent. Immediately jump over the groaning victim and kick them low as you turn to face the other direction. Follow this with the shadow kick. ======= REPTILE ======= o Jump Kick - Acid Spit: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the acid spit. Start the two forward motion right before you hit, then quickly press HIGH PUNCH. o Forcball - Two Punches - Hop Kick - Slide: Do the forceball move on your opponent. If they get hit by it, do two high punches as they are coming towards you. After the punches do a hop kick. You need to be in the right place for the high punches to connect. After the kick complete the combo with the slide. ======== SUB-ZERO ======== o Jump Kick - Slide: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the slide. If you do not kick low and deep enough, the slide may not connect on human opponents. It almost always works against the computer though. o Jump Kick - Hop Kick - Slide: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do a hop kick, followed by the slide. Easiest when your opponent is frozen. =========== SHANG TSUNG =========== o Flaming Skulls: If you can catch your opponent in the air with the first one, there is a good chance that the other two will hit. Do the three skulls before your opponent jumps towards or away from you. o Jump Kick - Flaming Skull: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do one flaming skull. Start the two back motion right before you kick, then press HIGH PUNCH. This one is hard as Shang Tsungs fireball travels slow. More than one flaming skull after the jump kick is possible, although extremely difficult. ====== KITANA ====== o Jump Kick - Fan Throw: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the fan throw. Start the two forward motion right before you kick, then press both punch buttons. If you are fighting the computer and they block your jump kick, the fan throw will usually hit. o Jump Kick - Fan Throw - Hop Kick: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the fan throw. Start the two forward motion right before you kick, then press both punch buttons. If you connect on the first jump kick and get the fan out fast, you can also hop kick your opponent as the are falling down. o Jump Kick - Fan Lift: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the fan lift. Start the three back motion right before you hit, then quickly press HIGH PUNCH. You must do the fan lift immediately, or it will not catch the falling opponent. Follow this with the next combo. o Fan Lift - Jump Kick - Fan Throw - Hop Kick/Air Attack: Catch the opponent with the fan lift and wait until they are near the top. Walk forward as far as you can then do a jump kick, catching the opponent as they are falling down. Immediately do the fan throw, quickly followed by a hop kick or air attack. If your opponent is fairly close to you or near the corner, you could do a regular jump kick instead of a hop kick for the last move. o Fan Lift - Jump Kick - Fan Throw - Uppercut: Opponent must be near the corner. Catch the opponent with the fan lift and wait until they are near the top. Walk forward as far as you can then do a jump kick, catching the opponent as they are just released from the wave. Immediately do the fan throw. As the are falling down do an uppercut. ============== JACKSON BRIGGS ============== o Overhead Hammer - Uppercut: The overhead hammer will stun the opponent momentarily. You can follow this with any move, such as an uppercut or gotcha grab. Consecutive hammers are not possible. o Jump Kick - Energy Throw: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the energy throw. After starting the jump kick, keep the joystick in the forward/down position, so you can quickly do the half- circle motion right after you hit. o Jump Kick - Gotcha Grab: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the gotcha grab. Start the two forward motion right before you hit, then quickly press LOW PUNCH. Jax will grab nothing but air if not done quickly enough. o Jump Kick - Back Breaker: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the back breaker. Be sure to kick low and deep. As soon as you press the kick button press BLOCK to execute the back breaker. ======= MILEENA ======= o Jump Kick - Throwing Sais: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the throwing sais. You will need to charge the move before you jump. Immediately after hitting with the jump kick, release HIGH PUNCH. o Hop Kick - Throwing Sais - Teleport Kick: Hop kick your opponent as they jump towards you and immediately throw the sais. As soon as you hit on the hop kick release HIGH PUNCH. After the sais hit do the teleport kick. ====== BARAKA ====== o Jump Kick - Blue Bolt: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the blue bolt. After starting the jump kick, keep the joystick in the down position, so you can quickly do the quarter-circle motion right after you hit. o Jump Kick - Blade Fury: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the blade fury. Start the three back motion right before you hit, then quickly press LOW PUNCH. If you do not connect with the blade fury, you are left vulnerable for an attack. ======== SCORPION ======== o Jump Kick - Spear: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the spear. Start the two back motion right before you hit, then quickly press LOW PUNCH. o Jump Kick - Leg Grab: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the leg grab. After starting the jump kick, keep the joystick in the forward position, so you can quickly do the half-circle motion right after you hit. o Jump Kick - Air Throw: Jump kick your opponent low and deep, then immediately do the air throw by repeatedly pressing BLOCK. o Teleport Punch - Spear: Teleport punch your opponent and immediately spear. This will work best if you catch the opponent in the air with the teleport punch, making it easier to spear them before they hit the ground. o Teleport Punch - Leg Grab: Teleport punch your opponent and immediately do the leg grab. This will work best if you catch the opponent in the air with the teleport punch, making it easier to leg grab them just as they hit the ground. o Turn Around Kick - Teleport Punch - Spear: Do a turn around kick on your opponent and immediately do the teleport punch. If you connect on the teleport punch throw the spear, and finish with an uppercut. ====== RAIDEN ====== o Jump Kick - Body Launch: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the body launch. o Hop Kick/Punch - Body Launch: Hop kick/punch your opponent in the air and immediately do the body launch. o Jump Kick - Lightning: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the lightning.
