    MK4 Goro holds the title for most terrifying character in Mortal Kombat in my heart. Even as I grew older, getting to him in the ladder always gave me a bit of anxiety

      He has a raw advantage over kintaro and motaro that is less ppl have player mk4 and also not as frequently so less opportunity to learn mk4 goro and making him less predictable he is very hard and awesome in mk4 in the original he was terrible in the home ports

Midway was like " he maybe zombie, but he is still Liu Kang, the first hero of MK". Funny enough, fast forward to MK11, Cetrion revealed that Liu Kang's fire power is the same as Onaga's fire. Sadly, this is just revealed in the intro dialogue. Don't know if NRS want to explore that story or not

    So funny story. The SNES version of MK1’s Goro is actually brain dead to beat. You just need to jump back in the corner and he always tries to punch you, which can’t happen because your jump kick will beat him. He gets up, walks toward you, tries to punch, gets kicked, rinse and repeat until he dies.
    Fast forward to the Xbox 360 days with the original trilogy on Xbox live and I try to demonstrate this trick to my friends, learn very quickly that arcade Goro is smarter than that and swiftly get owned. Good times. Also too bad Titan Shang has no exploit. I can do the towers on Very Hard with no real difficulty, then I get to him and he machine guns skulls at me with Quan making everything safe and I get blown away like five times until I somehow manage to clutch the win.

    I remember finally completing _MK9's_ Tower Level #300 with Mileena by utilizing one strategy against Goro, Kintaro, and Shao Kahn - jump backwards and perform her Teleport Dive Kick which would often bait them into attacking - and, thus, getting hit by the kick - then jumping over their head which _also_ bated them into (whiffing) an attack, wherein I'd Ball Roll into a combo, toss some Sais… and then repeat.

  • @karabearcomics

    I would think a video looking at how to beat the bosses in the side games and handheld ports could be fun. Though, in regards to the ports, the Game Gear versions of MK and MKII (never played its MK3) would not show anything anywhere near difficult. From what I can remember:
    Goro - Just keep kicking him (or punching, but kicking will be faster). If you're spamming regular attacks, he'll just block, and you can beat him with chip damage.
    Shang Tsung - Duck while he's unmorphed, and once he does morph, go with whatever strategy normally beats the character he's morphed into.
    Kintaro - Jump kick, kick, repeat. It's ridiculous how well that works.
    Shao Kahn - Easiest fight in the game. You can try a bit of the Kintaro strategy, but he's overall quite simple, with ridiculously little health.
    Bonus for Game Gear MKII: just play as Jax. This works on literally any character (well, I don't know about Jade, since she's the one character I never beat, nor got close enough to do this because I'm kind of terrible at fighting games despite loving to play them)--Gotcha Grab, and when you've dropped them, start another Gotcha Grab just as they start to get up. You'll catch them just as they stand up. You now have an infinite loop you can exploit.

    Kronika was AWFUL.
    I don't know many technical fighting game terms but I did get her with loads of uppercuts. When she summoned that bubble to hurt me and heal herself, I would jumpkick out of it or if my health was low enough, my Fatal Blow actually became a way to push her away from me (obviously she can't be harmed by Fatal Blow but she can be pushed quite far with the attempt if she doesn't block it!) I'm talking story mode Kronika though, so I was stuck with Liu Kang for the fight. Infuriating when I would win the first match and then fail the next two.
    It felt like every other MK game I've played: Throw all my skills and all the things I learned out the window so I can cheat at the boss fight and win using literally three moves.

    Here is 1 trick I found for the Snes version of UMK3 (that's the one I had, don't know if it works on others):
    If a character has a really fast start on their dial-up combo, you can out-frame Shao Kahn and hit him everytime he tries to hit you. Everything he does is reactable. This is most effective with a character that has a launcher, as you can re-engage before Shao Kahn can do anything.
    Sindel is the best character I found for this.

  • @GerMorden
    @GerMorden 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I can't believe that I never left a comment on this video, because the way I cheesed MK9 Shao Kahn was by introducing him to NYPD finest.
    Shao Kahn's main strength in that game was his armor, making a lot of combos far harder to work on him while making zoning incredibly risky, as Shao won't get staggered and could throw another attack right away. But Stryker has an advantage - his pistol fires TWICE. In a rapid succession too. Sure, it never comes into play during tournaments or competitive PvP in general, but it comes in handy against Shao Kahn's spear, which has super armor only for ONE hit.
    So, you use your roll grab to throw him away, break the distance to full screen and then just start blasting. Shao Kahn will get all of his spear attacks interrupted completely, and his hammer toss is slow enough to give him his dosage of lead and then dodge it by down+3. Rinse, repeat until he dies from lead poisoning.

  • @jaywolfenstien
    @jaywolfenstien 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    You can pretty much lock down MK2 Shao Kahn with any character using jump kicks, and he'll just block and can't retaliate. The only thing to watch out for is if you back him up into the corner, which reduces the knock back and allows him to finally hit you. It's basically the MK1 punches all over again, except, kicks this time. It's not going to earn you any Speed Running world records, but it's pretty easy to pull off and even more reliable than the corner uppercut trick.
    And Moloch was so friggin' boring. He would just poke all day long with that stupid ball and chain. If you stayed just outside his range, he would whiff a poke, and you could combo him all day.

    a simple tactic i figured out for dealing with Shao Kahn in MK3:
    crouch, and quickly Block if he does a horizontal slide attack.
    you will still be knocked backwards, but you won't take any damage.
    eventually, he will do a diagonal slide attack...
    if you are NOT blocking, he will miss you, and you can uppercut him before he lands.
    BUT, if you ARE holding Block, you will still get knocked back!
    there's ONE exception: Stryker!
    with HIM, you can hold block, and his diagonal dash attack will miss!

    For MK4 another strategy w Liu Kang is to hit confirm any string into bicycle kick and you can jump into Goro with another starting string into bicycle kick again until maximum damage. I do this on Ultimate Difficulty (N64 port) and it always works. Delaying the hits in between strings also make Goro susceptible to being hit.

    I played Mortal Kombat 1 on the SNES, as Scorpion. Now, I'm pretty awful at fighting games. I had no idea how to do *any* of the special moves... except, right around when I got to the second endurance match, I figured out -- completely by accident -- how to do Scorpion's rope spear attack. And with it I managed to get *double flawless* on both Goro and Shang Tsung. It felt pretty amazing, almost like I had lulled the AI into some kind of false sense of security, because up until that point I had not used any specials at all and was just struggling my way through the game. And then I pulled the kunai attack outta nowhere and it let me cheese the rest of the game. It was hilarious.

    With Moloch, you should also always be circling towards (at least I think it was towards) the hand with the wrecking ball, since he always tries to poke you with it from range before you can get in. Once You sidestep it, because he steps really far forward when he does the move, you'll be in range to do your big style branch combo on him. Also because his AI is so aggressive and always tries to interrupt you, fast startup combos that link into style branches can make mincemeat out of him really quickly.

    Picked the game up again a couple years ago tho and was amazed how quickly I figured out how to exploit his AI. Goes for Goro/Kintaro too lol it is crazy how much jumping just breaks them.

    With MK4 there was one really Simple way to defeat Foto with Raiden. As soon as one Superman dash connected, you can loop that as mamy times as you want to deplete Goro's HP in seconds.

    In the arcade version of MK2, Shao Kahn can also be beaten pretty easily with any character by jumping towards him and ducking immediately as you touch the ground. He'll throw out an attack that will whiff (unless it's his shoulder charge) which you can then punish with an uppercut. Rinse and repeat. It's possible you'll get unlucky and he only uses his shoulder charge but that's unlikely. Another tactic is to just wittle him down with chip damage with a character like Raiden or Liu Kang.

    If anyone was wanting a strat for Goro and Kintaro in MK Trilogy since it was skipped here:
    Start the match crouching and let the Shokan walk up and whiff their command grab, punish with an uppercut,
    then repeatedly knock them back down with meaty crossover jump-kicks until victory.

    A lot of characters in MK11 (most of them?) have individual specials or combos Kronika is bad at responding to. The problem is it's just kind of trial and error to figure out which ones on a per-character basis. But in general rush attacks like Liu Kang's Dragon Kick and Jacqui's Bionic Dash, or combos with good startup and reach like Kitana's Edenian Dance, chew through her pretty easily.
