Controls:

The Controls are relatively simple, and are more detailled in the In-Game Tutorial. You can also Configure The Controls in the Parameters Tab.

  • Move with the arrow keys / ESDF
  • Punch with B / Q
  • Kick with N / A
  • Use special moves with M / Z
  • Grab or air-dodge with H / W


Credits:

This game was made using sprites and music from Midway and all credits go to them.

I (NathBo) did all the coding.


Tips and Tricks [Spoilers]:

Each character has at least one fatality, inputed by doing a specific special move at a specific distance from the opponent once the "FINISH HIM" screen pops up. 

  • Raiden: Use your neutral special next to your opponent
  • Mileena: Use your down special anywhere on screen
  • Scorpion: Use your forward special at mid-distance
  • Liu Kang: Use you down special at mid-distance and spam punch
  • Kitana : Use you forward special next to you opponent
  • SubZero : Use your neutral specila far away from your opponent

There are also 3 additional 'joke' fatalities which are a bit harder to pull off.


Shao Kahn is the final boss of the arcade mode and can be though to defeat without a proper strategy. His only special move: the charge makes him invincible, which makes projectiles very dangerous to use against him. However, his main weakness is that he can't crouch, so lows are a very efficient way of opening him up for a combo (especially if you follow with an huppercut).


Unlocking characters : 

Unlock all 3 unlockable characters by beating the arcade mode with all of the already unlocked characters.

You can also choose to immediately unlock all characters in the options.

Their list (my first one)

1.liu kang

2.Mileena

3.raiden

4.Scorpion

5. Subzero

6. Kitana

Ok my tier list and thoughts on every character, which will also answer your other comment:

S-tier:

1. Mileena (she has 2 sai's, one straight with good knockback and one homing with weak knockback, so I think it's balanced imo)

A-tier:

2. Scorpion, with his airgrab he has some devious unbreakable setups that can combo into an huppercut if you cancel the airgrab into a waveland. Also I know his cpu really spams teleport punch a lot but the ai for the game is really a mess of a code and I honestly don't know why he does this sorry.

3. Liu Kang, I think his cooldowns are pretty short but it is coherent with identity as a rush down character.

B-tier:

4. Subzero, I honestly don't think he's bad because he has really good neutral but when you don't have your opponent in the corner his combos are not that good.

5. Raiden, by far the character with the most fun combos imo, but they mostly all start with an huppercut which can be difficult to land. He has pretty bad combo starters in general. Also his grab can be used for some unbreakable setups if you cancel into it from an heavy punch or something.

C-tier:

6. Kitana, by far the worst character imo. She's the first character I made and she's very simple and kind of outdated because of that. I think she can work if you play her really really defensive but it is a bit boring.

NERF/BUFFS I WANT

Liu kang's Air and ground flying kick have their cool downs too short, make them longer

Raiden's grab need better damage for how hard it is to hit

Mileena needs better knock back on sai's

Subzero just needs better damage

Kitana just needs to be a different charater like there is no reason to pick kitana (from what I know)

scorpions CPU is just too annoying like I just moves around and teleport punch's.

Here are the best match ups for characters 

(if you want any explanations please add a reply and all answer)

Raiden: scropion

Mileena: Raiden

Scorpion:Kitana

Liu Kang: Mileena

Kitana: Liu Kang

Subzero: (I honestly do not know for sure but maybe scorpion)

Might make a their list later

This is really fun but why are some of the characters lock

This is a game you play in your web browser meaning that most people don't want to beat the arcade mode just to get character that have no reason to be locked (also I'm not good at this game)

But the combos are AMAZING!   I'll post some fun combos in the replys

(+1)

Raiden gotta few.

forward punch into forward kick into forward special 

Also you got Uppercut into Down special into uppercut again into forward special

Thanks for the feedback!

Some of the combos are explained in the tutorial section (there are general tutorials and a specific tuto for each character).

If you get the opponent in the corner the combos can become even nastier. For example with raiden you can do huppercut into down special into hupper into forward special cancelled by a wavedash into again an other huppercut into a back special.

Also, combos with mileena can be almost infinite if you get them in the corner and have max ammos on your knifes (I think she's the best character, or at least the most difficult cpu to beat).

Liu Kang is just weird

he doesn't have many super high damage KOMBOS from what I know but he just can do a short kombo of of everything.

Subzero is just Raiden mini

just play raiden

he is just better

Subzero has a worse kombos than raiden but has way better defense as his ice flask can make him very hard to approach and any obvious attack can be countered by his down special and lead to a full combo (and he has a bit more hp).

I don't guarantee the game is really balanced though but its not an esports lol.

Yes liu kang is intented to be the pixie character (kind of like sheik in smash) so he is very fast but doesn't do a lot of damage.

(1 edit)

Ok you convinced me, I am gonna put a cheat code in the options to unlock all characters

Edit: Done!

kool

thank I just like to try kombos out to see if character are good

I still like unlockables so maybe make it so all the characters and unlocked by default but

if you beat the arcade game on normal or above you get shao Kahn!

Well shao kahn is not functionnal at all as a playable character atm but I guess it would be a cool easter egg so I might do it (not guaranteeing anything though)

I know but I like unlockables, just when it isn't half the roster

but if you can then I would be cool

also why did you pick sprites from mk2 SNES?

cause its the only one I found with good format online (which mostly means as a spritesheet which is mandatory for itch.io file number limit requirement), and I like the vibe of it even though I understand why most people would find the arcade sprites prettier.
