'Get Over H....' no that's too obvious how about 'Ya,Ya,Ya,Ya' or whatever Liu shouts during Bicycle Kick.
Purchased a SNES this past weekend and bought Mortal Kombat II as well, as a fan of the series I had high hopes and I have enjoyed it so far. Firstly I love the look of it as it's an arcade port and I really like the old style and the characters look good to me, graphics these days are fantastic but I care more for gameplay than graphics.
The bad part is i'm pretty F'Ning awful at Mortal Kombat, not the newer ones for the PS2/360s etc but the old ones I am awful. I had to break a cardinal rule and put it on easy just to taste sweet victory, and even then I got absolutely slaughtered by Liu Kang when I fought him on the tower with that damn Bicycle Kick, Yarrgh!
This brings me to my next point the CPU uses a tactic which I despise, but have had to use on occasion, the 'Button Masher', I'm sure everyone's faced one at some point, if you haven't then you are one.
I'll be stood all innocent trying to remember Baraka's Balde Spark and Blade Shredder whilst the computer reels off about 10 punches on my noggin depleting my health bar, I cant block mid stream either. My tried and trusted tactic is the good old 'Stay In The Corner Projectile Attack' which works in general but then they just jump repeatedly however I am nothing if not prepared as I then use Blade Shredder when they get close, but against Liu Kang this tactic is moot as his Flying Kick sends him across the screen at me and his Bicycle Kick finishes me off, incidentally I used Bicycle Kick on Reptile just to recreate the movie scene.
After finally reeling off the victories needed, partly thanks to the Kredits you have, I got to the mini-boss Kintaro, he's a four armed tiger man thing or Shokan if you're a fan, I was full of confidence and ready to take on the world, hell I even ran up my stairs pre-fight then about 10 seconds later my ego came crashing down at the same time as Barakas carcass as Kintaro just whipped my tarkatan ass, naturally I blamed the character and not me so I changed to the classic Sub-Zero and Zero is fitting as that's the damage I did to Kintaro so I chose Reptile, and got the same result just different colour scheme. Join me next week where I will of either beaten Kintaro or be sulking in the corner.
