REPTILE ======= REAL NAME - UNKNOWN KNOWN RELATIVES - UNKNOWN AGE - UNKNOWN HEIGHT - 6'2" WEIGHT - 210 Lbs HAIR - BLACK BIRTHPLACE - UNKNOWN EYES - BLACK OCCUPATION - UNCERTAIN,ATTIRE SUGGESTS NINJA, CLAN UNKNOWN. LEGAL STATUS - UNKNOWN PLAYING ADVICE ============== WHATS YOUR GAMBIT: There's no best opening move, but many players prefer to begin combat with a flying kick. A good bambit for for sub zero is a flying kick, and if he wins the air battle he can follow it up with a Power Slide. AIR BATTLES: Combatants must be able to win as many air battles as possible ( jumping around a lot can irriatate a human opponent). It's all down to timing. Avoiding a flying kick from an outset is easy: simply take a step forward. When the opponent lands, Punch or kick them from behind.alternatively get the timing right and you can Uppercut the opponent as they reach you.Of course, you could always fly at them too... DON'T keep repeating the same move over and over - the CPU controlled opponent will compensate for tedium. For example, repeated leg sweeps against the CPU controlled opponent countered by their Special Moves-kano will perform his Cannonball, Sub Zero will use his Power Slide, and Raiden will use his Torpedo. COMBINATION MOVES: or'combos' are tops. Unlike the more sluggish combat simulations, Mortal Kombat's so fast that any combinations executed instantly so there's far less chance of commiting yourself by mistake. Alternating between two contrasting moves is a good idea as there's far more chance of your opponent falling foul to one of them, and it takes the CPU controlled opponent longer to adapt to the repetition. A good combonation move is a Roundhouse kick followed by a Leg Sweep. Your opponent usually ducks the Roundhouse...and ends up moving straight into your sweep!(or vice versa) Alternatively, try a jump kick followed by a leg sweep-or vice versa. NOTE: there is a slight pause for breath when a special move is made. TIMING: is the key! Practice the moves by playing a two player match without using a human controlled opponent. THE BRIDGE:Use an Upprrcut instead of a Death Blow to finish your opponent. He or she will fall into a pit full of spikes below and be impaled. ONE OF THE BEST ways to play is to change characters between losing matches.This tends to slightly confuse the CPU controlled opponents. However... unless the arcade machine is on FREEPLAY this is an expensive way to play. JOHNNY CAGE's Shadow Kick is best countr attacked by a block then a Leg Sweep. SCORPION can perform a tasty triple combo... Shoot his harpoon, follow it up with an Uppercut and then perform a flying kick. His harpoon is best unleashed when his opponent comes flying at him. RAIDEN regenerates after falling down which laeves him vunerable. He is also unprotected when he teleports and can be speared by Scorpions harpoon and frozen by Sub Zero's ice fire. Sonyas leg toss is partiulary effective against Raiden. With careful timing she can repeatedly Leg Toss him until he's limp and lifeless. SONYA BLADE's Leg Toss is best counter attacked by a crouch, a block and then an Uppercut just as she bends over. KANO is the slowest fighter but his Uppercut has a good reach. BEWARE! Sub Zero's ice fire and Scorpions harpoon can hit Kano when he's performing his Cannonball. If Kano's cannonball is successfully blocked, follow it up with a high kick as he's about to land. LIU KANG is the fastest fighter and his special moves are probably easiest to execute. A good combo for Liu Kang is to shoot a fire ball then quickly follow it up with a Supersonic Kick. ================================================================================ ħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħ ================================================================================ DoCs TyPed bY OFF ================================================================================ ħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħ ================================================================================
