MK2 AI cheats

[Zaxx]

Hi! Let's collect all the cheats the AI does in MK2! Here's my list:

- the AI has bigger attack range than you most of the time
- its capable to do throws from impossible situations and distances
- the AI always dodges projectile attacks by Sub-Zero from an idle state
- on very rare occasions some button doesn't work for half a second so you can't hit your opponent or do that one crucial special move
- on very rare occasions the arena stops scrolling for half a second during the fight with Kintaro hence preventing you from backing off further. If this happens Kintaro will jump on you of course.
- the AI can jump at the exact same time as you do
- sometimes AI animations skip for half a second so for example after you knock down the AI you won't be able to hit your opponent with a projectile at the exact time it's standing up. The AI will just jump away.

If you find any more don't restrain yourselves from sharing!

Just to add one more: Shang Tsung just walked through on Sub-Zero's slippery ice. :)

their way of making the game harder was making the AI throw you the same time you press the "low punch" which is actually a really crappy way to make it hard, even in a game like Mortal Kombat 4 if you set that to hard or highier they seem to always grab even when they are down...

Yeah completing the game was a nightmare for me even on very easy difficulty. :) the AI cheats are so blatantly obvious it's not even funny, you never get the impression that you're playing a real fighting game.

If that is their way of fighting a mirror than they're doing it wrong, as they should jump away if I do the same :P

I also wanted to tell you something

As raiden I do the torpedo, just before the second the attack touches reptile, what he does...Grabs me and throws me -.-

Or in UMK3 I'm doing my combo and in the middle of the combo I get grabbed...

lol. I was about to post this exact topic. I had forgotten how much the cheating AI can make you rage.

Right now i am playing as kitana vs Milena. Milena is able to throw her daggers without a split sec of recharge. EVERY time i jump, she jumps and throws her daggers in mid air and hits me. I knock her down, i jump forward and she is immediately already in the air countering my attack. She knocks me down and i have 2 options, duck and get grappled every single time, or stand and let him drain my health by half with high punches. If her punches don't land she sweeps me. If i try to block the sweep, the AI knows i'll try to block and grapples me immediately. LOL.

Try playing as mileena, jump and kick them, after that do her barrel roll move, and repeat till you win xD.

To tell you the truth the guys I have trouble with are Liu Kang,Baraka and Jax

Liu Kang is the worst, I swear he once did his bicycle move 4 times in a row -.-

Fun fact: This game was designed to take your quarters ;3

Or, the game reflects your intelligence xD, the game knows you, and you do not know the game. :P

Baraka,Jax,Liu Kang they are worst. Mortal Kombat II is most cheasy and cheap game Ai ever seen even if there is no combo, agressor etc. Cpu just read what you push and counter it always.

Jax: Gotcha 24/7

Liu Kang: Yalalalallala

Baraka always going merry go round with his blades

And of course if the AI has a projectile attack you will get spammed. :D

Hi there, after I finally get MK kollection I was glad to finally play MK2 without compatibility problems and stuff.

I have read these days about the cheating AI (and I test it...damn..it´s hard) but my question is...it was like that back in time, in the original arcade? Or was just a bug from this release? Thank you : )!

(Raiden is a 24/7 grab-throw too =_=)

[Kees.exe]

Not just Raiden, but Kitana,Mileena and Baraka over do it.

It was always like this, so the port is perfect in this matter. :D
