- Practise the dedicated Block action against an incoming strike.
- Learn a sweep or uppercut at the correct range.
- Win two rounds to take the match.
Controls
The five actions are High Punch, Low Punch, High Kick, Low Kick and Block. Direction and distance alter basic attacks. Block defends without requiring retreat, but some damage still passes through. Character specials use their own directional and button sequences.
Mortal Kombat (rev 4.0 09/28/92) — About this game
Mortal Kombat (rev 4.0 09/28/92) separates defence from retreat with its own Block button. High and low punches and kicks change their effect with range and directional input, so a familiar button can become a sweep or uppercut in another position. Blocking limits movement lost to an attack, but does not erase all damage, making it a way to prepare a response rather than remain indefinitely safe. Two won rounds take the match, while the single-player route progresses toward stronger tournament opponents. Learn the five-action layout and a dependable close-range response before attempting a character’s finishing sequence.
