I discovered this game years ago I've played all the past MK leading up to this one but what makes this game so special from the others ones isn't the fatality's this time around its the actually gameplay. Dial a combos could be started by using a jump punch or a straight jump kick.The enemy AI where much harder this time around compared to the original MK3 but after learning there patterns its not a problem.This game features new playable characters and Arenas, such as Ermac,Jade and a few others.The real treat of this game though is the Combo's and mastering them and owning a friend or stranger.This is the only old school 2-D MK game that is tournament worthy.If your into fast old school fighting games and want to learn some skill combos this game is for you, check out the combo videos people have made online to get a better understanding of how they work.
