Super Meter:

= Enhanced Special Move (Special Move+BL)
[Costs 1 Bar of your Super Meter]

= Kombo Breaker (F+BL)
[Costs 2 Bars of your Super Meter]

= X-Ray Attack (FS+BL) / (FK+BK+BL)
[Costs 3 Bars of your Super Meter]

Grounded/Quick Recovery Attacks:
Press FP/BP/FK/BK or U/D/F/B when grounded to perform a Quick Recovery.
If you don't press any buttons, you'll do a normal recovery.
Holding BL results in a Delayed Recovery.
Certain special moves performed on the ground can trigger a Recovery Attack, which is invincible for the first 8 frames.
These attacks will hit opponents who try to attack you during that time.

Jump Attacks:
Use Jump Attacks to hit airborne opponents.
They can knock the opponent down, start a chain combo, or initiate a juggle combo.

Super Meter:
Your Super Meter (3 sections, bottom of the screen) fills by performing special moves, getting hit, or having your attacks blocked.
It powers Enhanced Moves (1 bar), Breakers (2 bars), and X-Ray Attacks (3 bars).
Managing your meter depends on reading your opponent, your health, and attack setups.
Some players use it quickly, while others save for Breakers or X-Rays.

Tag Attacks:
Tag Attacks let your partner join the match and perform a special attack, throw a projectile, or set up a combo.
Your partner cannot be damaged during their attack.

Enhanced Moves:
Press BL while performing a special move to Enhance it, consuming 1 bar of your Super Meter.
Enhanced moves are more powerful and sometimes alter the move's properties (e.g., Jade's shadow flash becomes invincible).

X-Ray Attacks:
Press (FK+BK+BL) or (FS+BL) when your Super Meter has 3 bars.
X-Ray attacks can be part of combos and juggle the opponent afterward.
They're powerful, with armor for the first 2 frames, and will ignore up to 3 attacks from your opponent.
If you attempt an X-Ray with no health left, the first attack from your opponent will end the round.

High Attacks:
These hit standing opponents but miss ducking ones.
They're often used in chain combos or mid-screen juggles.
Don't assume they always hit high - some may look like they do but actually don't.

Medium Attacks:
Medium attacks hit standing or ducking opponents.
They're critical for breaking your opponent's defense, especially in chain combos.
Some medium attacks may look like low attacks, causing opponents to block low, making them vulnerable to other attacks.

Low Attacks:
Low attacks require crouching to block.
They can knock down the opponent or slightly stun them.
Low attacks are effective after high attacks or as combo starters.

Overhead Attacks:
These hit ducking opponents who are blocking low.
Some overheads can also pop the opponent into the air.
Use overheads to force your opponent to block high, then follow up with low attacks or grabs.

Pop-Up Attacks:
Pop-up attacks launch opponents into the air, allowing for follow-up juggle combos.
You can also pop up by jumping and pressing FP/BP.

Uppercuts:
Uppercuts are anti-air moves to stop opponents from jumping.
Press (D+BP). Some characters' uppercuts have faster start-ups.

Combo Starter:
Jump in with FP/BP to start chain combos.
This is a great way to pressure your opponent and open up combo opportunities.

Chain Combo:
A chain combo is a sequence of predetermined inputs for multiple hits.
For example, press FP, BP, FK in succession.
To help with timing, hold down the last button after pressing the second one.
Combo effectiveness depends on speed, recovery time, and how they mix high, medium, and low attacks.

Special Move Cancels:
After an attack, you can cancel it into a special move for more confusion or a combo extension.
For example, after pressing Crouching BK, quickly input Jade's shadow kick motion.

Corner:
Being in the corner allows for high damage combos but also makes you vulnerable.
If you're on defense, try to escape the corner as soon as possible.

Breakers:
Use Breakers (when you have 2 bars on your Super Meter) to stop an opponent's combo.
Hold (F+BL) to perform a Breaker. Some characters can perform special moves after a successful Breaker.

Throws:
Press TH to throw your opponent.
You can also perform a forward throw by pressing (F+TH) or a back throw by pressing (B+TH).
Ducking opponents can avoid throws, but they're vulnerable to medium and low attacks unless blocking.

Dash Canceling & Block Canceling:
To dash cancel, input F, F after a move. To block cancel, press (F+BL).
These techniques help you perform complex combos or move quickly between offense and defense.

Juggles & Air Combat:
Juggling is crucial in Mortal Kombat. Perform a standing FP, then follow up with special moves for juggle combos.
Experiment with different moves for extended juggles.

Block Damage & Damage Scaling:
Block damage favors aggressive players, as any attack hitting a blocking opponent deals damage.
Damage from repeated attacks (e.g., chain combos or special moves) scales down, but changing your combo resets it.
Damage remains the same if the opponent is blocking.

Tag Combos & Fast Tags:
In Tag mode, press TG to tag your partner into the match. You can also use Tag Attacks or Tag Assists.
Each character has unique tag combos and assists, which are crucial for creating combos and mix-ups.
Use fast tags to safely swap characters and extend your combos.

Babalities: You must not press BL in the final round.

Finisher Distances Explained:
Close: Right next to your opponent.
Sweep: A couple of steps away (close enough to land a sweep).
Jump: One jump distance away from your opponent.
Fullscreen: As far apart as possible (opponent at the other side of the screen).
Anywhere: Distance doesn't matter, can be any range (Sweep or further works best).
Varies: For some reason, the Stage Fatalities in this game have their distance listed as "Varies". However, regardless of the label, all Stage Fatalities should be performed at Close range.

Note: When (Hold BL) is shown in italics for Fatality inputs, it means that holding BL is optional.
The Fatality will still work without holding BL, though it may be easier if you do.
Just remember to release BL before pressing the final button in the Finisher combo.

Tag Team Moves:
TG = Tag Out
D, F, TG = Tag Attack [Costs 1 Bar of your Super Meter]
D, B, TG = Tag Assist [Costs 1 Bar of your Super Meter]

Like all Tarkatan males, he joined Shao Kahn's army once he came of age and survived the brutal Ritual of Blood. He gained the rank of Enforcer after single-handedly defeating a rebel faction. His loyalty and strength make him a favorite of the emperor; his retractable blades have slain many of Shao Kahn's most bitter enemies. As a kontestant in the Mortal Kombat tournament, he will ensure his emperor's claim to Earthrealm.

He is reluctant to lose his humanity, which he believes is more effective than any mechanical augmentation. He has contemplated leaving the clan, fearing that it is no longer an organization of honorable assassins. Cyrax knows, however, that such a decision means death at the hands of his former comrades. No one leaves the Lin Kuei.

After years of rigorous training in the art of kombat, Shao Kahn awarded her the position of Bodyguard to Princess Kitana. Over the centuries she and Kitana have become close friends, which makes Jade's secret orders from Shao Kahn painful to accept: Should Kitana's loyalty falter, Jade must kill her friend.

But when a trusted informant, Kano, was revealed to be a high-ranking member of the Black Dragon, Jax made Kano's capture his priority. Kano has gotten the better of Jax thus far, leading the Special Forces into numerous deadly ambushes.

Johnny Cage

Bio:
There is no greater martial arts movie star than Johnny Cage. Films such as "Dragon Fist", "Time Smashers" and "Citizen Cage" have made him one of the most highly paid actors in Hollywood. But there is more to Johnny than even he knows. He is a descendant of an ancient Mediterranean cult who bred warriors for the gods -- warriors who possessed power beyond that of mortals. This legacy has made Johnny Cage a star. More important, it will aid him in the battle to come.

Kabal

Bio:
Once a member of the Black Dragon clan, Kabal gave up his life of crime and put his fighting skills to more positive uses. He joined the New York City police force to kombat the underworld element he once served. This transition helped ease the pain of dark memories.

But when an operation went to hell and his face horribly mutilated, Kano's crime spree was almost ended. Ever the survivor, he used his underworld connections to find a cyberneticist capable of repairing the damage. Kano was fitted with several high-tech enhancements, most notably his eye laser.

Kitana

Bio:
Over 10,000 years old, Princess Kitana remembers little of her early years. Her mother, Queen Sindel, died mysteriously ages ago in Earthrealm. Most of her life she has loyally served her father, Shao Kahn, in his unending quest to conquer the realms. With her closest friend, Jade, Kitana enforces his brutal will. But there is a feeling tugging at her... a feeling that the life she has known is a deception. For the moment, Kitana dutifully works to ensure Outworld's victory in this latest Mortal Kombat tournament. If she were to lower her guard, however, she might discover that her Earthrealm opponents can lead her to answers.

Kung Lao

Bio:
Kung Lao's ancestor was defeated by Goro 500 years ago in the pivotal match that saw Shang Tsung attain control of the Mortal Kombat tournament. To him this contest is about more than Earthrealm's freedom. His life's goal has been to slay Goro and win the tournament, thus restoring his family's honor. After being defeated by Liu Kang in a qualifying bout, he disguised himself as one of Shang Tsung's guards to gain admittance. Kung Lao believes he is ready for the challenge.

Liu Kang

Bio:
Orphaned at a very young age, Liu Kang was raised by Shaolin monks, who taught him the way of the spiritual warrior. They soon recognized his potential as a contender for the Mortal Kombat tournament and rigorously trained him for this task. Raiden, too, understood that Liu Kang was Earthrealm's best hope for freedom and introduced him to Master Bo' Rai Cho to further his development. Once fully trained, Liu Kang bested all challengers and earned the high honor of representing the Shaolin in the Mortal Kombat tournament. He and Raiden then embarked on their fateful journey to Shang Tsung's island to compete in this pivotal kontest.

Mileena

Bio:
Shang Tsung has created many abominable creatures in his Flesh Pits, but none so twisted as Mileena. A fusion of Edenian flesh and Tarkatan blood, Mileena is both beauty and beast. This dichotomy has made her mind unstable; she is prone to fits of madness and savagery. Though she has the appearance of a mature woman, she is more child than adult--a blank slate conformed to Shao Kahn's will. Devoid of conscience or remorse, Mileena will butcher anyone to appease her beloved father.

Nightwolf

Bio:
Nightwolf is one of few Earthrealm mortals with a strong connection to the spirit world. A powerful Native American shaman, he is guided by the empyrean forces and communes with divine beings such as Haokah, known to the East as Raiden. Nightwolf's devotion allows the Spirits to work through him, granting him unnatural long life and ethereal weapons to kombat the darkness that threatens mortal kind. In the coming crisis, however, it is not Nightwolf's arsenal that will alter fate. His faith in the Spirits will inspire those who have lost hope.

Raiden

Bio:
Raiden is the God of Thunder and Protector of Earthrealm. Ageless and wise beyond measure, he leads Earthrealm's mortals in the endless battle against the forces of darkness. When Shao Kahn, Emperor of Outworld, threatened to merge his realm with Earthrealm, an overwhelmed Raiden implored the Elder Gods to give Earthrealm a fighting chance. Thus the Mortal Kombat tournament was created. For millennia Shao Kahn has been kept at bay, but nine consecutive losses to Goro have eroded hope that Earthrealm can be saved. Determined to prevent Armageddon, Raiden tirelessly quests to find a champion worthy of Mortal Kombat.

Reptile

Bio:
His home realm of Zaterra is gone, mysteriously destroyed ages ago. Reptile is the last known surviving member of his race. He has since made Outworld his home.

He would give anything, kill anyone, if it would bring his realm back from the abyss. Self-pity fuels his aggression as he inflicts suffering and death on others.

Sektor

Bio:
The son of the Grand Master, it was never in question that Sektor would join the Lin Kuei. What pleases the Grand Master is the degree to which his son relishes the life of an assassin.

Hired by Shang Tsung, his current assignment is to attend the Mortal Kombat tournament and eliminate the Earthrealm competitors before they have a chance to compete.

There he fell in league with its ruler, Shao Kahn, and pledged his life to him in return for enhanced power. He is now bound to the emperor by powerful dark magic. For centuries he has submissively done Shao Kahn's bidding. Should he fail in his mission to secure Earthrealm, he will suffer the emperor's wrath.

One of New York City's Finest, Stryker is a one-man SWAT team. He was once decorated for single-handedly thwarting the terrorists in the famous Greenberg Tower Incident, and again for rescuing passengers of a speeding crosstown bus rigged to explode. He was unprepared, however, for the magical portal that spewed forth creatures from another realm--a realm he didn't even know existed.

But his solitude was broken when he was ripped through space and time. As the madness subsided, Kratos found himself in present-day Outworld, kneeling before Shao Kahn. To ensure his victory in Mortal Kombat, the emperor had invoked an ancient ritual, sacrificing the souls of his vanguard to summon and enslave the most powerful warrior of all time. But the spell alone could not contain Kratos, who soon regained his free will. Enraged by Shao Kahn's arrogance, Kratos vowed to rip the warlord's spine from his body. The God of War had returned to battle.
