Tomoko Kuroki Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I just started this game and went a few times in ladder to test out combos and such before attempting anything like the tower challenges yet. Is there any tips for beatin kintaro and shao kahn ? That super armor is crazy and I don't really understand when it activates, I even struggled on easy.

Superbuu3 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Find a cheap move and abuse the hell out of it, lol. There's lots of moves you can cheese, i.e. scorpions get over here and sub zero freeze. I'm speaking from back in the day though. MK2 was the hardest MK for me, Kintaro was a beast. IIRC Raiden was a beast in this one. Liu Kangs low fireball might allow him to duck under kintaro's fireball, but i might be remembereding incorrectly.

OH wait I remember one, when he jumps up to stomp you jump back and kick you should catch him in the air if timed right. I noticed no one replied so i'm just trying to remember some stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujmint Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) hope my 2 cents will afford you something... i cannot really remember what they are like in close kombat but im thinking you should keep a safe distance from them you also do not what to be jumping carelessly cause the AI usually picks up on it quite quick the trick where you jump over characters and hit them from behind before landing can be useful sometimes i think because of the armour you do not want to be striking first and aimlessly most of the time also waiting for them to make the first move allows you to bait some moves that could leave them open Goro i think likes to throw you around so keep your distance (not sure of it can be escaped) he also has a ground pound i think which only covers like a screen distance from him maybe? Kintaro has the teleport stomp which you should watch out for, evade and take advantage of Kahn you can duck under his spear but not when he throws the hammer (and its unblockable i think) i think you can block when he hits you with the hammer but keeping a safe distance from Kahn especially i think is good safe distance also good so you can spot his xray move (heavy damage and armoured) which is also unblockable i think and maybe punish him lastly you should just get to know how they react to your characters moves and learn which are best teleport moves usually work well hopefully there are some good cents you could use here P.S. juuuuust in case you didnt know... a vertical jump punch bounces your opponent and a diagonal jump punch can be used to start a combo wo! too much?

Da_Man-023 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 play on easy difficulty.......lolololol even then kahn is a *^$# spammer find a good distance move like strikers gun noobs shadows etc... also jump over his head and hit down then uppercut gets em everytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legchomper Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I didn't read above but I'm guessing this is to do with max difficulty, play on tag, use sheevas stomp move constantly and pick an additional character you're okay with. I either use Scorpion or Ermac since they have a teleport move, can use it to get to shao kahn when he taunts. Also when he throws the hammer JUMP, don't duck. or I can do it for you if you want LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoko Kuroki Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 I read and trying to use all these tips, but I still have trouble with mainly kintaro and goro, whenever I see them in the tower I always win by luck, even when using the tips provided above, I appreciate everywheres advice, but I still seem to have problems beating them consistently, I'm almost done the tower challenge so I won't need to worry about these guys after though.

Well if you don't like that wait until you get to Challenge Tower 185. Beat Sheeva, Goro and Kintaro in a row with Baraka and only 1 life bar.

Tomoko Kuroki Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Well if you don't like that wait until you get to Challenge Tower 185. Beat Sheeva, Goro and Kintaro in a row with Baraka and only 1 life bar. Funny you say that, that's the one I was doing I managed to finish it but like I said I still struggled. Still looking for a better tactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I--Menace Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Scorpion is beast for this, Expert Difficulty just keep hitting (square, square, square, back back square, square square square, back back square) the computer gets trapped in the combo and you can just mash it as fast as you can. It'll look like three punchs then a rope to stun them and repeat the punchs to rope again. Scorpion VS ShaoKahn/Goro/Kintaro, just keep backing up and when they taunt or shoot fireballs press (down, back, triangle) to light the ground on fire. Smoke VS Shao Kahn is easiest, his (down, back, circle) teleport ignores the glowing yellow armor effect. If you play on easy try Kratos, (down, forward, triangle) spams really fast for 12% in 2hits, he gets flawless till round 7. Let Shao Kahn beat you then player select, this well make "Arcade Master" easier as you just have to look for each char's ranged throw and beat Shao Kahn with it. (fans, knifes, fireballs, etc) These were my tactics for getting arcade trophys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoko Kuroki Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Great tips, smoke and kratos made ladder master easy. Sheeva trick didnt work whatsoever for me. After 2nd fight they just always dodged the jump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
