Hint: Sub-Zero: 2-hit 43%:
Keep your opponent still by freezing him, then uppercut him (Down + Hp).
Before he lands, freeze him (the blast going forward) then uppercut him. You have to have
the quick uppercut recovery code enabled. If you get lucky and get up the second time very
fast give him a low kick to get 53%.
Hint: Defeating Bosses:
Enable the "Scott's Stuff" cheat menu and disable blocks. When you fight the
Bosses, use any character and keep jump kicking them. This works on both Motaro and Shao
Kahn.
Hint: Continuous moves:
Note: This trick requires a controller with an auto-fire feature. Set the game on no
blocks set A to auto-fire. Select Lui Kang or Kano. Lui Kang will do an everlasting
bicycle kick, and Kano will keep rolling at the opponent. Note: Do not do this on a two
player game.
