Move players off the screen
Start a two player tournament battle with any of the
fighters. Fight until one of the characters is one throw away
from defeat. Allow the time run down until one second is remaining.
Finish off the fighter with a throw (stand next to the opponent
and press [B]). In the next round, either character may be
moved off the edge of the screen.
Motionless opponent
Start a one player match with any fighter (Cage or
Liu Kang work the best). Repeatedly jump over your opponent and
kick without hitting him. Continue doing this until the CPU blocks.
Then, jump back over your opponent once more time, without kicking.
After landing, wait and do not press any buttons. The CPU opponent
will remain motionless until hit.
Easy special
This trick allows you to perform any special move that
ends with pushing an attack button by pressing only that button
at the beginning of the second or third round. Finish your opponent
in round one (or two) by using a special move. When the next round
begins you can continue to use that same special move by only
pressing the final attack button as long as you do not press any
other buttons or move the fighter using the D-pad. For example,
use Liu Kang's fireball to defeat the opponent in round one. At
the beginning of round two, you can repeatedly throw fireballs
by pressing only [HP].
Johnny Cage: Special move
Wait until "Finish Him" appears. Stand close
to your opponent, then press [L] + [R] + [B] at
the same time to get a surprise. Note: Make sure the opponent
is not Sonya.
Liu Kang
Stand anywhere and hold [Block], then rotate the
D-Pad in a full circle towards your opponent. Liu will
do an uppercut.
Raiden: Fatality
Stand next to your opponent and press [Forward],
[Forward], [Back], [Back], [Back], [Y].
Raiden will electrocute the opponent.
Scorpion: Fatality
Stand about three characters spaces away and hold [Block],
then press [Up], [Up]. He will then burn his opponent.
Sub-Zero: Fatality
Stand four character spaces apart and press [Forward],
[Down], [Forward], [Y]. Sub-Zero will freeze the
opponent and break him to pieces.
Glitches
Sindel does not pick you up when she throws you:
When Shang Tsung does his animality, your face appears in his
mouth.
When Sub-Zero does the fatality where he picks you up, freezes
you and breaks you apart, he puts his hands up. You will appear
in his hands and the bones appear before he breaks it.
When Kung Lao throws his hat he still has his hat on.
When you do Babality on someone with their second costume, it
turns them into a baby with their first costume. For example,
Lui Kang's orange pants turn red.
When Sindel does her fatality where she wraps her hair around
you and spins you around, all she does is wrap her hair around
you and some invisible scissors cut her hair. There is hair on
Sindel and hair wrapped around the other person.
