Just keep doing that back and forth while you are charging for the bicycle kick. Do a bicycle kick once in a while and the computer will get hit(better when close). 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 too fast you will go over your opponent. 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. Jump Kick - Standard Fireball - Low Fireball: Jump kick your opponent and immediately do a high fireball.

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. Groin Buster- Jump Kick - Shadow Kick: Do the groin buster 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. Groin Buster-Shadow Kick-Jumpkick-Shadow Uppercut-Fireball Jump Punch-Shadow Uppercut-Fireball Jump Punch-Shadow Kick Uppercut-Low Fireball Jump Kick-Groin Buster-Sweep Turn Around Kick-Groin Buster REPTILE: Shoot an Orb from far away and often times, the computer will not react and keep walking forward. When he gets hit by the ball, do your combo of choice. However, he might throw a missile at you as soon as you do an energy ball. If that happens, do an energy ball again and the computer will not react the second time or the third time. Jump Kick - Venom Spit: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the venom spit. Start the two forward motion right before you hit, then quickly press HIGH PUNCH. Orb, Uppercut,Orb,Jump Kick, Venom Orb-Jump Kick-Venom Spit Orb + Fatality: This one's weird. Immediately after releasing an Orb, do the fatality. The victim will bounce towards you from the powerball but the fatality will still work. The tongue pushes the victim back into range and proceeds as normal. Only thing is Reptile's head was about a centimeter to the left of his neck when the fatality was finished...bizarre. SUB-ZERO: Jump Kick - Slide: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the slide. immediately do a hop kick, followed by the slide. Easiest when your opponent is frozen. Ground Ice-Freeze-When frozen-Uppercut Ground Ice-Jump Kick-Slide Slide-Ground Freeze-Uppercut Throw-Slide Uppercut-Freeze Sweep-Ground Ice-Freeze-Uppercut SHANG TSUNG: 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. KITANA: Her jump kick then air fan throw combo is very effective even if the jump kick is blocked. Jump Kick - Fan Toss: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the fan toss. 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 toss will usually hit. Jump Kick - Fan Wave: Jump kick your opponent low and immediately do the fan wave. Start the three back motion right before you hit, then quickly press HIGH PUNCH. You must do the fan wave immediately, or it will not catch the falling opponent. Fan Wave - Jump Kick - Fan Toss - Hop Kick: Catch the opponent with the fan wave 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 toss, quickly followed by a hop kick. If your opponent is fairly close or near the corner, you could do a regular jump kick instead of a hop kick for the last move. Fan Wave, Jump Kick, Fan Toss in air Cornering Manuver- When opponent is in the corner- Fan Wave-Jump Kick-Fan Toss-Fan Wave. Do it once and you can repeat it over and over.

Immediately after hitting with the jump kick, release HIGH PUNCH. The computer is a sucker for her air Sais. Jump up and throw air sais right before you land(so that your sais will hit the top of his/her head). The computer does not block it most of the time.

Section 3- Tricks, Techniques, Rumors, Hints xWhen Midway released Mortal Kombat II, they did so in most markets unfinished. There is a first version, then a newer one on west coast and Chicago area. That's why you can't get to the ? level, can't knock the guy off the bridge or the pit, and can't do other moves. There are 3 secret characters in the game- most believe them to be Kano, Sonya, and the man on fire in the background of the Pit stage. While there are rumors that there's more, I really doubt it. Once the ROM upgrade is installed into the old version of Mortal Kombat II, new fatalities will become available, new moves found, new levels discovered. Until then, we play. Midway wanted to kombat the new Street Fighter game by releasing Mortal Kombat 2 early. It worked- at the local arcades in my area, no one plays Super SF II. Shang Tsung on the ceiling trick There is a trick in the game so that Shang Tsung ends up on the ceiling. You must be Shang Tsung, and Player 2 must be Shang Tsung or one of the girls. Player 2 must morph into one of the girls for the trick to work. Right when Shang Tsung starts to throw fireballs, have the girl throw him. He'll now be on the ceiling!!! Takes practice, but it does work.Try throwing the computer Good luck! It is impossible, even when the opponent is frozen or dizzy. Try to throw them after you beat them. They will just pick you up and toss you, then fall over. Apparently you CAN throw the computer on a 1.4. Still don't know if you can block them from throwing you though. Try the fatalities in the air. Liu Kang can do his dragon fatality in the air. Can others? Also, try Reptile's fatality as he is invisible. Reptile Death Trick-Victim must be Reptile or Shang morphed into Reptile. Reptile must be invisible. Kill Reptile while he is invisible with a leg grab. Reptile will still be invisible. Back up and do the fatality. Scorpion will Breathe fire onto (the invisible) Reptile. You hear the scream and the there is an explosion of bones engulfed in flames. Cool part: after the bones settle an image of the skeleton will appear where Reptile was standing, frozen in mid-explosion! Reptile's Fast Food-Victim must be Reptile or Shang morphed into Reptile. Reptile must be invisible. Morph into Scorpion. Time your morph (in v1.1, Shang remains morphed for 12 seconds) so that you will change return to Shang just after you execute Scorpion's leg throw. Reptile will still be invisible. Morph into Reptile and perform the fatality. Reptile (Shang) will do the fatality as normal but the victim will not have a body. The head being eaten seems to appear from thin air. After the fatality everything is visible. Scorpion makes Whoopy!- After you execute Scorpion's fatality, start rapidly pushing both punch buttons rapidly. After you toast the guy, the screen will flash the word "Toasted!" and you will hear a loud "whoopy" yell!! Getting out of a corner-There are times when you screw up and end up in a corner. Do not panic. Crouch and wait for the CPU to approach. When the CPU is within sweep range but out of his/her throw range, jump over him/her. Kick him/her as soon as you character turns around. Often times the CPU will not block it. If it blocks the kick, do an air fan throw if you are Kitana. Otherwise, try to block the retaliation. Then jump back a few times immediately. Use the turn-around kick(TAK) often.The computer does not block a TAK 70% of the time. Use it to your advantage. It hits, follow up with a missile weapon. If the computer blocks it, throw a fan if you are Kitana, or do a high fireball if you are Liu Kang. How to get to the secret characters-In the latest issue of GamePro, they interview Ed Boon (MKII programmer) and he said this about hidden characters: "In the second game though, there are actual plateaus that you're hitting with your score. When you get 30 wins in a row, you fight one hidden character. When you hit 50 you get this, or maybe when you do 10 Fatalities in a row. . everything is kind of building up to do something way down the line." Secret Character Trick?- During the character selection screen, move the cursor to Liu Kang. Now hold the joystick to the left until the cursor moves off of Liu and onto the grey background. (This did actually happen. It moves just before the game starts.) What you are supposed to do next is tap 5 times to the left. What this is supposed to do is access a menu of 5 hidden characters!! We tried it several times, but we were never able to get the 5 taps in between the time the cursor moves and the time the game starts. We tried the same thing going to the right, with the cursor on Reptile, and the cursor moved into the background again, just like before. We tried hitting buttons after the cursor moved, and when we did this, we ended up with a character other than Liu or Reptile. (Raiden or Jax, to be exact.) Also, here's a VERY interesting rumor someone told me yesterday. Actually three things. First off, this guy said the Pit II does work, but in order to knock the guys down, you have to aim it so when you uppercut them, they fall perfectly through one of those 'holes' on the platform. I looked and sure enough, there were circular shapes on the platform, but I was unable to get anyone to land directly on it. Second, he said if you did Liu Kang's old fatality on the Armory stage, you could knock someone onto the spikes on the ceiling. I tried this once and the guy didnt even reach the ceiling, or else he didnt stick. He also said Liu could hang up on the meathooks of the Dead Pool with that fatality, but I didn't try it. The last two sound bogus to me as there is no way anyone else could do this, only Liu's fatality can get them up that high. However, the Pit thing does sound very plausible as I never took notice of those holes and also never tried to knock anyone off. How to beat Kintaro-In my nook of the world, our players use Baraka, or anybody for that matter, and score the first hit, then avoid the beast and win on time disqualification. An easier way is to take advantage of a bit of a glitch re. Liu Kang. Start off the round by rapidly punching. It will hit him at least once, then he will stand amazed by the display of yelling and punching, allowing you to when on a time disqualification!!
