~Mortal Kombat 2

Moves, contributed by Adriano Grisanti.  

Over the last year or so there have been a number of files containing
info on all the special moves in this game.  Cheet Sheets has covered
them in full, but in case you haven't come across them, here's a more
recent list compiled specially for Cheet Sheets.


~Notes:
~------

Buttons and moves  - HOLD first button in parentheses until the
                     closing parentheses and do everything inside
                     while holding the button

Super Uppercut     - Can only be done in The Pit and the Spike
                     Room. Stand close.

Friendships        - Can only be done if you DON'T use PUNCH button
                     on Fatality round, the round you get a second
                     win on.  That also means if you are Shang 
                     Tsung, you can't do certain people's Friendships 
                     because you use punch to morph into them.

Bability           - Can only be done if you DON'T use HIGH PUNCH on 
                     the Fatality round.  You can do a Friendship 
                     after a Bability or do multiple Babilities.  If 
                     you do three Babilities in a row, you will see 
                     an explosion of three babies and one will be 
                     Kung Lao.  Stand at least a couple steps away.

Question Mark      - In order to fight Jade, who is the question
                     mark character, you must defeat the opponent 
                     right before the question mark with LOW KICK 
                     only and no BLOCK.

HINT: Use sweeps as much as possible and jump kicks only when you 
      are on the other side of the screen and they are walking 
      towards you.

~Secret Characters


In the black and white copyright screen, type : AICULEDSSUL

You should hear a chime.
Then on the next few screens, you can hit F9 to bring up the cheat 
screen.

~SECRET CHARACTERS:
~------------------
Both Jade and Smoke can be seen in the Living Forest when they look 
out from behind the middle trees.  They occasionally drop down during 
a match and give clues on how to reach them.  After you win or lose 
to any of the secret characters, you are returned to the Choose Your 
Fighter screen where you may pick another character.

Smoke clues:                       Jade clues:

I Am Called Smoke                  I Am Called Jade
Toasty                             Before The ?
You Can Start Finding Me           Ermac Who?
Ermac Who?                         I Will Meet You In Goro's Lair
You Can Not Defeat Me              Chun Who?
I Am One Of Three                  I Am One Of Three
Portal                             Restrict Yourself
I Will Meet You In Goro's Lair     Alone Is How You Will Find Me
Mortal Kombat One                  One Day We Will Fight!
Prove Yourself                     Bring On Kano And Sonya!


~TO REACH JADE:
~--------------
Win one round on the stage directly before the question mark using 
only LOW KICK.  That is the only requirement.  You may not press 
BLOCK.  You may reach Jade on any round of the stage.  Unnecessary 
requirements include flawless victories, fatalities, and a certain 
number of wins.


~TO REACH SMOKE:
~---------------
Be on The Portal stage.  You may be playing either a one or 
two player match.

Wait until the face pops out in the lower right corner and 
says "Toasty!".  The face will appear when you uppercut your 
opponent, or your opponent uppercuts you.  There is no determined 
way to get the face to appear more frequently.  It can appear a few 
times during a match or not at all.

As soon as the face appears, press the start button while 
holding down on the joystick.  In a one player game, make sure the 
start button pressed is on the side you are playing on.  In a two 
player game, whoever presses their start button first will be the one 
who will fight Smoke.


~TO REACH NOOB SAIBOT
~--------------------

Win 50 games in a row.  You must fight against another player 
for at least part of the time.

If you lose to Noob Saibot, you may fight him again by winning just 
one more game or round.  Apparently the computer only has 49 wins 
tracked if you lose to Saibot, so you can theoreticly fight him over 
and over, as long as you lose to him.  And in case you did not 
notice, Noob Saibot is actually Boon Tobias backwards.


~PONG:
~-----

You have reached the outer limits of the tournament.  Now you both 
must face a challenge from your past...  Pong!  First player to seven 
wins.  Pong occurs after 250 matches.  This might have been reduced 
in version 3.1.


~THINGS TO TRY:
~-------------

Right after doing the pit fatality uppercut, hold down on 
both joysticks.  The body will slowly slip from the spikes and fall 
to the ground.

During attract mode, pull down on either joystick to bring up 
the top 15 players.

Do Reptile's tongue fatality on The Armory stage and watch the 
floor.  This is most likely a glitch and does not involve a secret
room or character.

Random select may be done by pressing up and start from the 
Choose Your FIghter screen.  Be sure to have the selector positioned
where it appears originally.

To turn throws off in a two player match, hold down and HIGH 
PUNCH on both joysticks after you select your fighters.  A message 
will appear saying throws are disabled.  Other "power-ups" may be 
possible.
